Hereinafter, an information processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described using embodiments. In the following embodiments, constituent elements and steps with the same reference numerals are the same or correspond to each other, and repetitive description may be omitted. The information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment converts the relationship between an identifier corresponding to a certain attribute and an identifier corresponding to another attribute into data using a photographed image of a code.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes a captured image acquisition section 11, a storage section 12, an identifier acquisition section 13, and an accumulation section . The information processing device 1 may be, for example, a personal computer, a portable information processing terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like. device, or a server or the like.

First, an object to be photographed will be described. The imaging target may be, for example, a first code related to the first attribute, a second code related to the second attribute, a third code related to the third attribute, and a fourth code related to the fourth attribute. Each code may be, for example, a color code such as a chameleon code (registered trademark), a QR code (registered trademark), a bar code, or any other code. . In this embodiment, a case where the code is a chameleon code will be mainly described. It is also assumed that two or more second codes are arranged in association with the first code, third code, and fourth code.

The first to fourth attributes are not particularly limited, but for example, the first attribute is the production line, the second attribute is the worker, the third attribute is the work content on the production line, The four attributes may be time zones. In this case, the first identifier corresponding to the first code is the production line identifier that identifies the production line, the second identifier that corresponds to the second code is the worker identifier that identifies the worker, The third identifier corresponding to the third code may be a work content identifier identifying work content, and the fourth identifier corresponding to the fourth code may be a time zone identifier identifying a time zone. In this embodiment, the case where the first to fourth attributes and the first to fourth identifiers are such will be mainly described.

The identifier corresponding to the code may be the information indicated by the code (that is, the information obtained by reading the code) itself, or the information managed in association with the information obtained by reading the code. There may be. In this embodiment, the latter case will be mainly described, and information indicated by a code will be called a code identifier.

The object to be photographed may be, for example, a board on which a code other than the second code is displayed, and a small piece on which the second code is displayed, which is detachably attached to the board. The board may be, for example, a whiteboard, blackboard, corkboard, or the like. The strips may then be removably attached to the board by magnets. In this case, the board preferably has a plate-like ferromagnetic material to which magnets can be attached. Alternatively, the strip may be removably attached to the board by a removable adhesive. In this case, the surface of the board is preferably smooth so that the strips can be easily applied and removed. The strips may also be removably attached to the board by pins such as thumbtacks. In this case, the boat is preferably a corkboard or the like that can be pierced and pulled out. Moreover, as long as the small pieces can be detachably attached to the board, the board and the small pieces may be other than those described above.

The second code is arranged in association with the first code, the third code, and the fourth code, respectively, as described above. As a result, if the correspondence between the second code and the other code can be known, the codes may be arranged in a predetermined direction, or may be arranged in a tabular form, for example. , may be arranged by other methods, but may be arranged as follows, for example.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the first cords 31a, 31b and the fourth cords 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d, 34e, 34f are arranged in a first direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 3). The third cords 33a, 33b, and 33c may be arranged along a second direction (in FIG. 3, the horizontal direction in the drawing) different from the first direction. The second cords 32a-32r may be arranged in areas extending in the first and second directions, respectively. Although FIG. 3 shows the case where the first direction and the second direction are orthogonal to each other, this need not be the case. Both directions may form an angle other than 90 degrees. In FIG. 3, for example, the first cord corresponding to the second cord 32a is located on a straight line extending in the second direction with respect to the position of the second cord 32a, or at a position closest to the straight line. becomes. Further, the third cord corresponding to the second cord 32a is the third cord 33a that exists on the straight line extending in the first direction or closest to the straight line with respect to the position of the second cord 32a. Further, the fourth cord corresponding to the second cord 32a is the fourth cord 34a that exists on a straight line extending in the second direction or closest to the straight line with respect to the position of the second cord 32a.

In FIG. 3, identifiers corresponding to the codes are displayed around the sides, top, etc. of each code. For example, the worker identifier "Sato", which is the second identifier corresponding to the second code 32a, is displayed to the left of the second code 32a. Therefore, in FIG. 3, for example, the worker identifier "Sato", which is the second identifier corresponding to the second code 32a, is associated with the production line identifier "line A", which is the first identifier corresponding to the first code 31a. is arranged in association with the work content identifier "Assembly 1", which is the third identifier corresponding to the third code 33a, and is the fourth identifier corresponding to the fourth code 34a. It is arranged in association with the time zone identifier "daytime". This arrangement indicates that the worker "Sato" performs the work of the work content "Assembly 1" on the manufacturing line "Line A" in the time zone "daytime".

The second codes 32a to 32r are displayed on the small pieces 41a to 41r, respectively, and the small pieces 41a to 41r can be attached to and detached from the board 51 by magnets or the like. By changing the position of , the assignment of workers can be changed. Thus, the second identifier corresponding to the second code is typically the identifier to be assigned. Note that FIG. 3 shows the case where the second identifiers are assigned to all assignment targets, but this need not be the case. Some assignments may not be made. For example, if there is a premise that inspection does not have to be performed at night on each line, the third code corresponding to the third identifier "inspection" and the fourth code corresponding to the fourth identifier "night" The second code may not be arranged at the position corresponding to the .

As shown in FIG. 3, when the codes are displayed in a range surrounded by ruled lines, that is, when the codes are displayed in a tabular format, for example, the first code 31a is displayed. An area 131a of cells surrounded by ruled lines may be set as the area of the first code 31a, and the code correspondence relationship may be set as described above. In this case, for example, since the region 131a of the first cord 31a exists on a straight line extending in the second direction with the position of the second cord 32a as a reference, the first cord 31a and the second cord 32a correspond to each other. It may be attached. Further, with respect to the third code 33a, for example, the correspondence relationship between the codes may be set as described above, with the region 133a as the region of the third code 33a. 134a may be the region of the fourth code 34a, and the code correspondence relationship may be set as described above. The same may be applied to other codes.

In FIG. 3, among the fourth codes 34a to 34f, the fourth code 34a and the fourth code 34d are the same code, the fourth code 34b and the fourth code 34e are the same code, and the fourth code 34c and fourth code 34f may be the same code. In this way, the code to be imaged may contain the same code.

Further, in FIG. 3, for example, the first identifier "line A" corresponding to the first code 31a is displayed near the first code 31a, and the second identifier "line A" corresponding to the second code 32a is displayed near the second code 32a. The second identifier "Sato" is displayed near the third code 33a, the third identifier "Assembly 1" corresponding to the third code 33a is displayed near the fourth code 34a, and the second identifier "Sato" is displayed near the fourth code 34a. Although the fourth identifier "daytime" corresponding to the fourth code 34a is shown, in this way the identifier corresponding to the code may or may not be displayed near the code. It doesn't have to be.

The photographed image obtaining unit 11 obtains the photographed image of the photographing target. That is, the first code related to the first attribute, the third code related to the third attribute, the fourth code related to the fourth attribute, and the first code, the third code, and the fourth code that are arranged in correspondence with the The captured image acquiring unit 11 acquires the captured image with two or more second codes related to the two attributes. The photographed image is, for example, a photographed image of a board displaying a code other than the second code and a small piece detachably attached to the board displaying the second code, as described above. may The captured image is an image containing a plurality of codes, ie first to fourth codes. Strictly speaking, what is included in the captured image is the image of the code, but in the present embodiment, the image of the code is also called the code.

A captured image is usually a still image, but it may be considered that a frame included in a moving image is a captured image. As will be described later, information corresponding to the code is read from the code included in the photographed image, so the photographed image preferably has a resolution that enables reading of the code to be photographed.

For example, the captured image acquisition unit 11 may acquire a captured image using an optical device such as a camera, or may receive a captured image acquired by an optical device such as a camera. When the photographed image acquisition unit 11 receives a photographed image, the reception may be reception of a photographed image transmitted via a communication line, and may be a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or a semiconductor memory). etc.). The captured image acquisition unit 11 may accumulate the acquired captured images in the storage unit 12 .

The storage unit 12 may store the captured image acquired by the captured image acquiring unit 11, or may store other information. For example, the storage unit 12 may store information that associates a code identifier with an identifier corresponding to the code (for example, a production line identifier). Further, for example, information accumulated by the accumulation unit 14 may be stored in the storage unit 12 .

It should be noted that the process by which information is stored in the storage unit 12 does not matter. For example, information may be stored in the storage unit 12 via a recording medium, or information transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the storage unit 12. may be stored in the storage unit 12, or information accumulated by components such as the captured image acquisition unit 11 and the storage unit 14 may be stored in the storage unit 12. It can be like this. The storage in the storage unit 12 may be temporary storage in RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The storage unit 12 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, semiconductor memory, magnetic disk, optical disk, etc.).

The identifier acquisition unit 13 uses the captured image to obtain a first identifier corresponding to the first code and two or more second identifiers corresponding to two or more second codes arranged in association with the first code. Get a pair with Further, the identifier acquisition unit 13 uses the photographed image to obtain a third identifier corresponding to the third code, and two or more second codes each corresponding to two or more second codes arranged in association with the third code. It also acquires pairs with two identifiers. Further, the identifier acquisition unit 13 uses the photographed image to obtain a fourth identifier corresponding to the fourth code, and two or more identifiers corresponding to the two or more second codes arranged in association with the fourth code. It also acquires pairs with two identifiers. In this manner, the identifier acquisition unit 13 acquires the correspondence between the second identifier and the first, third, and fourth identifiers corresponding to the second identifier.

For example, the identifier acquisition unit 13 may classify each code included in the captured image into first to fourth codes by recognizing each code in the captured image and acquiring the code identifier of the code. . In the classification, correspondence relationships between the code identifiers and the first to fourth identifiers stored in the storage unit 12 may be used. For example, a code with a code identifier corresponding to a first identifier can be classified as a first code, and a code with a code identifier corresponding to a second identifier can be classified as a second code. The same applies to the third code and the fourth code. After the classification, the identifier acquisition unit 13 identifies the first code, third code, and fourth code associated with the second code for each of the recognized second codes, thereby matching the second code. A set of the second identifier and the first, third, and fourth identifiers corresponding to the first, third, and fourth codes associated with the second code may be specified. In specifying the set of identifiers, for example, the correspondence between the code identifier and the first to fourth identifiers stored in the storage unit 12 may be used.

When specifying the first code, third code, and fourth code associated with the second code, the identifier acquisition unit 13, for example, determines the position of the second code (eg, the second code 32a in FIG. 4). may be specified on a straight line extending in the first direction or on a straight line extending in the second direction, or the codes may be identified in tabular form. If it is displayed, the structure of the table corresponding to the table format may be acquired, and the correspondence of the codes contained in each cell of the table may be acquired. In the former case, if the target code does not exist on a straight line extending in the first direction or the second direction with respect to the position of the second code, the code closest to the straight line is specified. You may For example, in the photographed image 61 shown in FIG. 4, strictly speaking, the first cord 31a does not exist on a straight line extending in the second direction with respect to the position of the second cord 32a, but Since the first code is the first code 31a, it may be determined that the second code 32a and the first code 31a are associated with each other. In the latter case, that is, when the codes are displayed in tabular form, for example, a certain second code is associated with the first and fourth codes contained in the same row as the second code. It may be determined that Also, for example, it may be determined that a certain second code is associated with a third code included in the same column as the second code.

The storage unit 14 stores pairs of the first identifier and two or more second identifiers acquired by the identifier acquisition unit 13 . The storage unit 14 also stores pairs of the third identifier and two or more second identifiers acquired by the identifier acquisition unit 13 . The accumulation unit 14 also accumulates pairs of the fourth identifier and two or more second identifiers acquired by the identifier acquisition unit 13 . As a result, a set of the first identifier and two or more second identifiers, a set of the third identifier and two or more second identifiers, and a set of the fourth identifier and two or more second identifiers are specified. The structure and format of the information to be stored does not matter as long as it can be stored. For example, as in a specific example described later, information that associates a first identifier, a second identifier, a third identifier, and a fourth identifier may be accumulated. Further, the storage unit 12 may be the storage destination of the information stored by the storage unit 14 .

Although not clearly shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 1 may have an output unit for outputting the accumulated information. Here, this output may be, for example, transmission to a predetermined device via a communication line, storage in a recording medium, or delivery to another component. Note that the output unit may or may not include a device for output (for example, a communication device). Also, the output unit may be implemented by hardware, or by software such as a driver for driving those devices.

Next, the operation of the information processing device 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S<b>101 ) The captured image acquisition unit 11 acquires a captured image and accumulates the captured image in the storage unit 12 .

(Step S<b>102 ) The identifier acquisition unit 13 recognizes each code included in the captured images accumulated in the storage unit 12 . This code recognition may be, for example, acquiring the correspondence between the position of the code in the captured image and the code identifier of the code existing at that position (information obtained by reading the code). Further, the identifier obtaining unit 13 may classify each recognized code into first to fourth codes.

(Step S103) The identifier acquisition unit 13 sets the counter i to 1.

(Step S104) The identifier acquisition unit 13 acquires the second identifier corresponding to the i-th second code recognized in step S102 and the first identifier corresponding to the first code associated with the second code. get the tuple.

(Step S105) The identifier acquisition unit 13 acquires a second identifier corresponding to the i-th second code recognized in step S102 and a third identifier corresponding to the third code associated with the second code. get the tuple.

(Step S106) The identifier acquisition unit 13 extracts the second identifier corresponding to the i-th second code recognized in step S102 and the fourth identifier corresponding to the fourth code associated with the second code. get the tuple.

(Step S107) The accumulation unit 14 accumulates in the storage unit 12 each set of the second identifier, the first identifier, the third identifier, and the fourth identifier acquired in steps S104 to S106. This accumulation may be, for example, accumulation of information including a second identifier and corresponding first, third and fourth identifiers.

(Step S108) The identifier acquisition unit 13 increments the counter i by one.

(Step S109) The identifier acquisition unit 13 determines whether or not the i-th second code is included in the captured image. Then, if the i-th second code is included, the process returns to step S104.

The order of processing in the flowchart of FIG. 2 is an example, and the order of each step may be changed as long as the same result can be obtained. For example, the processing order of steps S104 to S106 is arbitrary.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment will be described using a specific example. In this specific example, it is assumed that the photographed image 61 shown in FIG. 4, in which the board 51 shown in FIG. 3 is photographed, is processed. In addition, in the storage unit 12, the correspondence relationship between the code identifier and the first identifier (manufacturing line identifier) shown in FIG. ), the correspondence relationship between the code identifier and the third identifier (work content identifier) shown in FIG. 5(c), the code identifier and the fourth identifier (time zone identifier) shown in FIG. ) are stored. In each correspondence, the code identifier (eg "G000000123") is associated with one of the first to fourth identifiers (eg "line A" which is the manufacturing line identifier).

First, the operator operates the information processing apparatus 1 so as to process the photographed image 61 that has been photographed in advance. Then, the captured image acquisition unit 11 reads the captured image 61 and stores it in the storage unit 12 (step S101). After that, when detecting that a new captured image 61 has been acquired, the identifier acquisition unit 13 recognizes each code included in the captured image 61 (step S102).

Next, the identifier acquisition unit 13 identifies the first code, third code, and fourth code associated with the first second code 32a. Specifically, the identifier acquiring unit 13 identifies the first code 31a and the fourth code 34a existing in the second direction (horizontal direction in the photographed image 61) with reference to the position of the second code 32a. . The identifier acquisition unit 13 also identifies the third code 33a existing in the first direction (the vertical direction in the captured image 61) with the position of the second code 32a as a reference.

Here, the code identifier of the second code 32a is "G000004321", the code identifier of the first code 31a is "G000000123", the code identifier of the third code 33a is "G000011111", and the code identifier of the fourth code 34a is Assume that the code identifier is "G000000012".

5 stored in the storage unit 12, the identifier acquisition unit 13 identifies the worker identifier "Sato" corresponding to the second code 32a and the production line The identifier "line A", the work content identifier "assembly 1" corresponding to the third code 33a, and the time period identifier "daytime" corresponding to the fourth code 34a are acquired and passed to the storage unit 14 (steps S103 to S106). Upon receiving those pieces of information, the storage unit 14 associates those pieces of information and stores them in the storage unit 12 (step S107). As a result, the first record shown in FIG. 6 is accumulated.

After that, similarly, correspondence relationships between the first to fourth identifiers are obtained and sequentially accumulated (steps S104 to S109). As a result, the correspondence between the first to fourth identifiers is stored in the storage unit 12 as shown in FIG. 6, and the information shown in FIG. 3 can be easily and accurately converted into data. will be able to Note that FIG. 6 shows the case where each record has one each of the first to fourth identifiers. There will be multiple records. Therefore, when considering the first identifier, the third identifier, and the fourth identifier as criteria, the information shown in FIG. 6 includes a set of the first identifier and two or more second identifiers. Also, a set of a third identifier and two or more second identifiers will be included, and a set of a fourth identifier and two or more second identifiers will be included.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, by using codes, the correspondence between the first to fourth identifiers corresponding to the first to fourth codes can be easily and more accurately determined. can be converted into data. Therefore, the work load can be reduced and the accuracy can be improved as compared with the case of manually converting data into data.

In addition, although the case where the fourth cords are arranged side by side in the second direction has been described in the present embodiment, this need not be the case. The fourth cords may be arranged side by side in the first direction. Moreover, the directions in which the first to fourth codes are arranged are arbitrary. For example, the first and fourth cords may be arranged side by side in the second direction, the third cords may be arranged side by side in the first direction, and the first and third cords may be arranged in the second direction. They may be arranged side by side and the fourth cords may be arranged side by side in the first direction. It goes without saying that the number of codes for each attribute is also arbitrary. Note that, for example, two or more codes may exist for each attribute.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the code identifier is associated with the first to fourth identifiers. If the four identifiers are associated one-to-one, the code identifiers (for example, "G000000123" etc.) may be considered to be the first to fourth identifiers. This is because if there is a one-to-one correspondence between the code identifier and the first to fourth identifiers, the code identifier can be considered to be substantially the first identifier or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the first attribute is the production line, the second attribute is the worker, the third attribute is the work content, and the fourth attribute is the time zone has been mainly described. , the first to fourth attributes are not limited to them. For example, when creating data related to cleaning assignments, the first attribute is the location of cleaning, the second attribute is the person in charge of cleaning (worker), the third attribute is the content of cleaning, and the third attribute is cleaning. The four attributes may be time zones. In this way, various assignments and the like can be converted into data.

Also, in the present embodiment, the case where the first to fourth codes are included in the captured image has been mainly described, but this does not have to be the case. The captured image may contain the first to third codes, may contain the first and second codes, or may contain five or more types of codes relating to five or more types of attributes. good. Even in such a case, similarly, by obtaining a set of the second identifier and another identifier, it becomes possible to easily convert the identifier correspondence relationship into data.

Further, as described above, the information processing device 1 may be a stand-alone device or a server device in a server-client system. In the latter case, the acquisition unit and the output unit may acquire information and output information via a communication line.

Further, in the above embodiments, each process or function may be implemented by centralized processing by a single device or single system, or may be implemented by distributed processing by multiple devices or multiple systems. It may be realized by

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the information is passed between the components, for example, when the two components that exchange the information are physically different, one of the components output of information and reception of information by the other component, or one component if the two components that pass the information are physically the same from the phase of processing corresponding to the other component to the phase of processing corresponding to the other component.

In the above embodiments, information related to processing executed by each component, for example, information received, acquired, selected, generated, transmitted, or received by each component Also, information such as thresholds, formulas, addresses, etc. used by each component in processing may be stored temporarily or for a long period of time in a recording medium (not shown), even if not specified in the above description.
