Description

Terminal device for executing a control program

The present invention relates to a terminal device for executing a control program.

In order to control a power device or a facility installed in an industrial site, that is, a control target device, a control program for performing a management function suitable for each device exists.

1 is a view for explaining a conventional individual program control method.

Referring to FIG. 1, a program is conventionally managed by using an individual program control method. The individual program control method is a method of managing the control target device through each program by implementing a control function for the control target device for each control target device as each program.

For example, the program 20_1 for the controlled device 10_1 has a management (ie, monitoring or control) function for the controlled device 10_1, and the program 20_2 for the controlled device 10_2 has a control. The management function for the target device 10_2 and the program 20_3 for the control target device 10_3 perform the management function for the control target device 10_3, respectively.

However, in the case of using the individual program control method as shown in FIG. 1, in order to manage each control target device, the user searches for a control program corresponding to each control target device by himself or herself (eg, a computer or a smartphone). There is an inconvenience to be installed in. As described above, in the process of searching for the control program, it is difficult for the user to check the type and model name of the device to be controlled, or to determine which control program is a suitable program.

In addition, as the number of devices to be controlled increases, the number of control programs to be installed increases. As such, when the number of control programs increases, it is difficult to determine whether or not the control program is installed on a specific control target device, and a problem such as retrying the installation of a control program that is already installed occurs.

As the number of devices to be controlled by the user increases, a number of programs proportional to the number of devices to be controlled must be downloaded and installed in the terminal device 30. In this case, the number of programs installed in the terminal device 30 is required. The number of icons of programs displayed on the user terminal device 30 is increased. At this time, there is a problem that it is difficult to easily check the icon for the program managing the specific control target device only by viewing the icon on the terminal device 30.

In addition, when the user's authority is set for each control program, the authority for each control program must be set separately, and the user must remember the authority for the control target device or each control program in order to manage the controlled device. There is a problem.

On the other hand, when the number of control programs installed in the terminal device increases, it is difficult to determine the location of an execution button or icon for executing a control program desired by a user or the control program of which control target device each control program installed is. There is a problem.

2 shows an icon displayed on the terminal device 30 in which the conventional lower control program is installed.

The terminal device 30 is provided with a program 20_1 for managing the control target device 10_1, but the user can easily identify an icon representing the program 20_1 for managing the control target device 10_1 from among a plurality of icons. There is a problem that is difficult.

In addition, the icon for the program 20_1 may not be found, and the program 20_1 may be repeatedly installed. As described above, the user of FIG. 2 should know in advance what icons represent the programs 20_1, 20_2, and 20_3 managing each of the control target devices 10_1, 10_2, and 10_3. In other words, the user is inconvenient to know what the icon indicating the program and in which position the icon is disposed in advance.

In addition, when a control program for managing a specific control target device is updated, it is difficult for a user to individually check a control program that needs to be updated, or to easily update the control program.

In order to solve this problem, an integrated program control method is sometimes used. 3 is a view for explaining a conventional integrated program control method.

The conventional integrated program control method illustrated in FIG. 3 is a method of managing a plurality of control target devices through the integrated program 40 by implementing a management function for each control target device as the integrated program 40.

For example, when the control target device 10_1, the control target device 10_2, and the control target device 10_3 exist, the integrated program 40 functions to manage the controlled device 10_1, and the control target. It includes both a function for managing the device 10_2 and a function for managing the controlled device 10_3.

When using the integrated program control method as shown in FIG. 3, since the integrated program 40 must be installed in the terminal device 30 even when the user manages only a specific control target device, the control target that is not used by the user is not used. There is an inefficient problem that must be installed in the terminal device 30 up to a function for managing the device.

For example, even if the control target device 10_1, the control target device 10_2, and the control target device 10_3 exist and the control target device managed by the user are the control target device 10_1, the integrated program 40 is terminally connected. Since it should be installed in the device 30, the terminal device 30 includes a function for managing the controlled device 10_1, a function for managing the controlled device 10_2, and a device for managing the controlled device 10_3. The feature is installed. In this case, since the control target device managed by the user is the control target device 10_1, only the function for managing the control target device 10_1 of the integrated program 40 is used, and the function for managing the control target device 10_2. And there is a problem that the function for managing the control target device 10_3 is not used and the memory is inefficiently used.

In addition, when the user's authority for the integrated program 40 is set, there is a problem that it is difficult to set or manage the authority for each control target device or the function of the control program in detail.

In addition, the integrated program 40 may be updated whenever a function for managing a specific time interval or control device is updated. As such, when all functions for managing the control target devices 10_1, 10_2, and 10_3 are implemented, such as the integrated program 40, the functions implemented in the integrated program 40 are various, and the number of times of updating the number is updated. There is a lot of trouble that the user has to update the integrated program 40 each time the function of the integrated program 40 is updated.

For example, when the integrated program 40 implements a function for managing each of the control target device 10_1, the control target device 10_2, and the control target device 10_3, the control target device 10_1. When the function of the update of the integrated program 40 must be updated, and when the function of the control target device 10_2 is updated, the integrated program 40 must be updated, and when the function of the control target device 10_3 is updated, the integrated program ( 40) must be updated.

An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal device for executing a control program that can easily install a control program suitable for each control target device without the user directly checking the type of the control target device or the control program.

In addition, the present invention provides a terminal apparatus for executing a control program that allows a user to easily check whether the control program is installed or the position of the execution button or icon of each control program even if the number of installed control programs increases. The purpose.

Can control.

When the upper control program 520 acquires the authority information of the user, the upper control program 520 may provide identification information of the lower control program corresponding to the authority information and identification information of the control target device. In this case, the identification information of the lower control program corresponding to the authority information and the identification information of the control target device may include data for identifying a user's authority to the lower control program and the control target device.

For example, the upper control program 520 may include an identification number of a control target device corresponding to the user's authority information obtained from the server 60 or the memory 52, an identification number of a lower control program, and a lower control program installed. In addition, the management function of the lower control program or the authority of the authenticated user (for example, connection blocking, control or monitoring) may be displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 50.

For example, the user may be disconnected from the control target device A101 and the control target device B103. In this case, the user may not control the control target device A101 even when a lower control program for controlling the control target device A101 is installed in the terminal device 50.

In addition, even if the user has the authority to control the control target device A102, when the lower control program for controlling the control target device A102 is not installed in the terminal device 50, the control target device A102 is controlled. You can't control it. In this case, the lower control program for controlling the control target device A102 may be obtained and installed.

In addition, even if the user has the authority to control the control target device B101, the lower control program for monitoring the control target device B101 is installed in the terminal device 50, so that the control target device B101 is controlled. In this case, the lower control program for controlling the control target device B101 can be obtained and installed.

In addition, the user may have the authority to monitor the control target device B102. At this time, the user cannot control the control target device B102 even when a lower control program capable of controlling the control target device B102 is installed in the terminal device 50, and thus the user can control the control target device B102. Can be monitored.

If the user wants to execute the lower control program 522 after displaying the authority information on the display unit of the terminal device 50, the upper control program 520 performs the first authentication performed when the upper control program 520 is executed. Subsequently, the second authentication performed when the lower control program is executed can be performed.

When the upper control program 520 receives a request for executing the lower control program from the user, the upper control program 520 requests the user to input authentication information, and executes the lower control program selected by the user when authentication for the user is completed based on the input authentication information. Can be.

According to the present invention described so far, there is an advantage that a user can easily install a control program suitable for each control target device without directly checking the type of the control target device or the control program.

In addition, according to the present invention, even if the number of installed control programs increases, the user can easily check whether or not each control program is installed or the location of an execution button or icon of each control program.

In addition, according to the present invention has an advantage that can easily set the user's authority for each control program or function of the control program.

In addition, according to the present invention there is an advantage that can easily manage the user's authority to a plurality of control programs.

Further, according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that it is necessary to check whether the control program corresponding to each control target device needs to be updated and to easily update the control program.

In addition, according to the present invention has the advantage that the user can quickly check the control target device corresponding to the installed control program, and can easily execute the control program.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by.
