The product replacement support program 30 of the present embodiment is a software program for displaying various input / output display screens in the form of a web page displayed by a web browser executed by the terminal 10, It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this example. The specific form of input and output can be changed appropriately.

Fig. 4 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the function of the server 20. Fig. The server 20 executes the product replacement support program 30 by the operation unit 22 to execute the product replacement support program 30 to the database 41, the extraction unit 42, the display control unit 43, the output unit 44, 45) and the like. The server 20 includes the storage unit 21 as described above. The storage unit 21 of the server 20 stores the standard drawing data 32 used for displaying the standard drawing 72, which is a reference diagram for confirming the dimensions of the second product, as part of the product replacement support program 30 (See Fig. 20).

The storage unit 21 of the server 20 is a part of the product replacement support program 30 and stores a software program that is read by the operation unit 22 and functions as the database 41 and the like, And stores the handled data. In Fig. 3, these software programs and the like are shown as " DB data 31 ". The server 20 functions as the database 41 by the DB data 31. [ The database 41 associates information on the first product including the first serial number with information on the second product (such as the second serial number). The first serial number is a serial number indicating the first product. The second serial number is a serial number indicating the second product. By using the first serial number and the second serial number, the first product and the second product can be specified.

Figs. 5 to 8 are views showing an example of correspondence of information realized by the database 41. Fig. 5 to 8 show an example of the correspondence between the information about the first product having the character string "BBB" as a part of the first serial number and the information about the second product corresponding to the first product have. As shown in Figs. 5 to 8, in this embodiment, phrases constituting the first serial number are distributed and stored in a plurality of tables (tables). The calculation unit 22 of the server 20 calculates information on the first product including the first serial number and information on the second product such as the second serial number by combining the information stored in the plurality of tables, . More specifically, the phrase 41 of "series", "size", and "bearing type" included in the first serial number and the phrase "series", "size" Quot; bearing type " are associated with each other (see Fig. 5). The data base 41 stores phrases such as "series", "size", "preload" and "precision" included in the first serial number, "preload" and "precision" included in the second serial number (See Fig. 6). In other words, in order to specify the "preload" and the "precision" of the second product, it is necessary to designate phrases of "series" and "size" as well as phrases of "preload" and "precision" included in the first serial number will be. The data base 41 associates the "dustproof part symbol" included in the first serial number with the "dustproof part number" included in the second product (see FIG. 7). In the data of Fig. 7, the " dustproof part symbol " is simply referred to as " symbol ", and the " dustproof part number " The "bearing material symbol" and the "rail material symbol" included in the first serial number, the "bearing material number" and the "rail material number" in the second second product are (See FIG. 8). In the data of Fig. 8, "bearing material symbol" and "rail material symbol" are simply indicated as "symbol", and "bearing material number" and "rail material number" are simply indicated as "number". The server 20 specifies the information (second serial number, etc.) regarding the second product corresponding to the first product indicated by the first serial number from the first serial number by the function as the database 41 . Although not shown in the figure, the database 41 also stores, for the first product having a character string other than "BBB" as a part of the first serial number, information about the first product including the first serial number And information about the second product.

Specifically, when the phrases "series", "size", and "bearing type" of the first serial number are "BBB", "15", and "A", the server 20 responds to such phrases Quot; NH ", " 15 ", and " AN " of the second serial number of the first serial number, The server 20 can specify the phrase of the second serial number corresponding to the phrase of the first serial number based on the data stored in the database 41. [

Further, the database 41 may include data relating to a phrase not included in the table as the second serial number. For example, the " dustproof part number " in Fig. 7 and the " number " in the bearing and rail material number in Fig. 8 do not appear in the second serial number. The " dustproof part number " and " number " are used by the server 20 as data for specifying the second product. For example, in the determination of the " material / surface treatment symbol " included in the second area 62 of the input / output screen 60 shown in Fig. 12 and the like, " number "

The phrase of the first serial number may include a phrase that does not need to be associated with the second serial number by the database 41. [ Specifically, for example, the phrase indicating the number of bearings and the rail length of the linear guide, such as " number of bearings ", " rail length ", and the like, do not substantially differ depending on the manufacturing source of the product, The numerical value indicated by the phrases can be applied to the second product as it is, so that the correspondence by the database 41 is not required.

In this embodiment, as shown in the example of " preload " in Fig. 6, " (no symbol) " is used as data indicating that there is no character string in a phrase that may not contain a character string.

Figs. 9 to 11 are views showing examples of the dimensions and the like of the second product. Fig. The data base 41 of the product replacement support system 1 of the present embodiment has data in addition to the data used for the correspondence between the first serial number and the information relating to the second product, (Hereinafter referred to as " dimension etc. "). In this embodiment, the data shown in Figs. 5 to 8 and the data shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 correspond to the "serial", "size", "format" Quot; part number ", this is just a specific example of a phrase for correspondence, and some of these phrases may be omitted or may include other phrases. In addition, data representing numerical information such as dimensions is not necessarily essential for replacement of the product, and may be omitted. Although not shown in the drawings, the dimensions of the first product are also recorded in the same manner as in the second product in the present embodiment.

As shown by the relationship between Figs. 9 and 10 and Fig. 11, the dimensions of the product may be specified by a plurality of tables. Specifically, in the second product in the present embodiment, the dimension of the length L of the bearing may be changed by an option of the vibration-damping specification to be applied. Even in the case of the first product, the dimension of the length L of the bearing may be changed by the option of the dustproof specification. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the server 20 obtains the basic length L from the phrases "series", "size" and "bearing type" of the second serial number using the data shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. And the length L is described by using the " dustproof specification number " and the data shown in Fig.

The extracting unit 42 extracts at least the information about the second product from the database 41 using the first serial number inputted through the terminal 10. [ In the process of extracting the information on the second product from the first serial number, the extracting unit 42 of the present embodiment reads out the second serial number and the like associated with the first serial number, Numerical information of the first product corresponding to the serial number and numerical information of the second product are read out. The display control section 43 controls the display mode of the information displayed on the display section 15 based on the information extracted by the extracting section 42. [ The output unit 44 outputs product specification information used for ordering the second product based on the extraction result by the extraction unit 42. [ Details of the extraction unit 42, the display control unit 43, and the output unit 44 will be described later.

The drawing generating unit 45 generates the input product specification data used in the output of the drawing showing the second product. More specifically, the storage unit 21 of the server 20 reads out the software program that functions as a CAD engine and the data handled in the CAD engine by being read out to the operation unit 22 as a part of the product replacement support program 30 . In Fig. 3, these software programs and the like are shown in the figure as " CAD33 ". The drawing generation unit 45 of the present embodiment is the CAD engine.

The data handled in the CAD engine is data for dynamically generating CAD data according to the extracted second product. The CAD engine extracts the data of the product (data corresponding to the second serial number) to be the object of the drawing from the data handled in the CAD engine by using the numbers not included in the second serial number and the second serial number And generates data on the supplied product specification using the extracted data. More specifically, plot data is prepared roughly on a specification basis, and the CAD engine combines the plot data corresponding to the combination of the specifications to generate the payout specification data corresponding to one product . The granularity of the " specification unit " is arbitrary. For example, the drawing data of the second product before the application of the vibrationproof specification of the second product extracted by the extraction section 42 and the drawing data indicating the portion corresponding to the dimension described for each vibrationproof specification are prepared Alternatively, the drawing data may be subdivided by another method.

Further, the product replacement support program 30 may include a software program constituting a structure for specifying a user who inputs the first serial number or the like. For example, the product replacement support program 30 includes a user database in which information related to a user usable in the product replacement support program 30 is recorded, software for performing an authentication process based on the user database Programs may be included. The information on the user includes, for example, a user ID, a password, a mail address, and a destination used when delivering the product. In addition, the product replacement support program 30 may include a software program constituting a structure for newly registering the user.

The terminal 10 and the server 20 have a configuration for starting a computer such as a ROM or a flash memory that stores a basic input / output system (BIOS) or a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI).

12 is a diagram showing an example of the input / output screen 60. Fig. Hereinafter, Figs. 12 to 24 and Fig. 27 are screens displayed through a web browser executed in the terminal 10. Fig. The operation unit 22 of the server 20 executes the product replacement support program 30 to execute a script corresponding to the display content on each screen and transmits the script to the terminal 10. [

As shown in Fig. 12, for example, the input / output screen 60 includes a first area 61 used for inputting a first serial number indicating the first product, and a second serial number indicating a second serial number indicating the second product A third area 63 used for display output of information relating to the option of the second product, a fourth area 64 indicating the second serial number, , And a fifth area 65 representing a notation of the first serial number. 12 and so on are merely examples, and it is possible to change them appropriately. In the following description and the respective figures used in the description, the case where the first product is the product of the company B and the second product is the product of the company A will be described as an example.

13 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of display in the first area 61. Fig. The first area 61 has an input form composed of a plurality of input areas for separately inputting each of a plurality of phrases constituting the first serial number. Specifically, the plurality of input areas constituting the input form of the first area 61 correspond to the information (attribute) represented by each of the plurality of phrases constituting the first serial number. More specifically, in the input / output screen 60 of the present embodiment, the input form in the initial state displayed in the first area 61 is, for example, "series", "size" Bearing Type "," Bearing Number "," Dustproof Component Symbol "," Preload "," Bearing Material Symbol "," Rail Length "," Accuracy "and" Rail Material Symbol ". Among these input areas, the input area of the " rail length " is set as an input area of a text box type in which an arbitrary number (for example, unit: millimeter) within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 10000) do. In addition, among these input areas, the input area other than the " rail length " is provided as an input area of a pull-down menu format for selecting one character string from one or more character string candidates corresponding to each phrase. In the present embodiment, the user who uses the terminal 10 inputs the first serial number as an input to this input form. The lower limit and the upper limit and the unit of the " rail length " are arbitrary.

Figs. 14 to 16 are diagrams showing examples of display contents of the first area 61 after the input of a part of the first serial number is completed. Fig. The server 20 updates the input area of another phrase whose input is not completed according to a combination pattern of other phrases that can be defined or specified by a part of phrases whose input is completed among a plurality of phrases. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the character string selected in the input area of the "series" is "BBB", the server 20 selects the other input area As an input area of "size", "bearing type", "number of bearings", "dustproof component symbol", "preload", "bearing material symbol", "rail length", "precision" and "rail material symbol" And is displayed on the first area 61. The input form shown in Fig. 13 corresponds to the information about the first product in which a part (first line) of the first serial number among the information recorded in the database 41 is " BBB ". Here, when the input character string of the "series" becomes "BCC" by the input operation of the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 converts the input form into information May be an input form corresponding to information on the first product in which a part (initial) of the first serial number is " BCC ". More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, for example, the server 20 sets the pull-down menus constituting the input area of the "series" to two in accordance with phrases of "series 1" and "series 2" Together, the other input areas consecutive to the right side of the "series" are referred to as "size", "bearing type", "bearing number", "rail length", "material symbol", "preload" (2) "," symbol (3) ", and" symbol (4) ". As described above, the item of the input area constituting the input form of the first area 61 is changed according to a part of the first serial number (for example, "series"). On the basis of the first serial number recorded in the database 41, the server 20 determines whether or not the phrase number of the phrase (for example, character string) The input area of another phrase whose input is not completed may be updated. In addition, in the case of performing such an update, the server 20 also determines whether or not a phrase indicating a "series" other than "BBB" or "BCC" corresponds to a phrase of a serial number corresponding to the selected phrase The input area. In Fig. 14, the reference numeral 61a is used to indicate a difference from the input form displayed in the first area 61 shown in Fig. 13, but the input form shown in Fig. 14 is displayed in the first area 61).

When there is input content for another input area that is defined or specified by the input content for a part of the input area, the server 20 performs processing for updating a selectable phrase in the other input content, A process of determining a phrase in the content is performed. More specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 15, when "15" is selected in the input area of "size", the server 20 sets the phrase (character) selectable in the input area of the "bearing type" A "," B "," C ", and" D ". This is because the "bearing type" that can be taken by the first serial number whose "series" is "BBB" and "size" is "15" is "A", "B" Quot ;, " C ", and " D ". On the other hand, when "25" is selected in the input area of "size" as shown in FIG. 16, the server 20 sets the phrase (character) selectable in the input area of the "bearing type" , "A", "F", "B", "C", and "D" This is because the "bearing type" that can be taken by the first serial number whose "series" is "BBB" and "size" is "25" is "E" Quot; F ", " B ", " C ", and " D ". In this manner, when there is input content to another input area defined by a phrase that has already been input, the server 20 updates a selectable phrase in the other input content. In addition, for example, when there is only one " bearing type " for the inputted " size ", the server 20 may perform processing for automatically determining the one " bearing type & . In this case, at the time when such " size " is inputted, it becomes an unchangeable state (grayout) in a state in which one phrase corresponding to the " size " Of course, the limitation or determination of these input contents by the server 20 is not limited to the relationship between "size" and "bearing type". The server 20 performs the same processing for other input areas according to the correlation between the phrases determined by the database 41. [

Further, in this embodiment, a product of a plurality of manufacturers can be selected as the first product. More specifically, for example, the user of the terminal 10 operates the pull down menu of the "maker name" field 66 located in the information of the first area 61, You can choose. &Quot; Company B " is selected in Fig. 12 and the like. In this embodiment, the server 20 sets the input form in the first area 61 to the "maker name" field 66 according to the input operation to the pull down menu of the "maker name" field 66, The input form according to the serial number of any one of the products sold by the company inputted in the input form.

17 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between input contents in the first area 61 and output contents in the second area 62. FIG. The server 20 extracts information on the second product from the database 41 by using the first serial number inputted through the terminal 10. [ Thus, the server 20 functions as the extracting unit 42. [ Specifically, the server 20 reads, from the database 41, a second serial number associated with the first serial number specified from the input content for the input form displayed in, for example, the first area 61 And displays it in the second area 62. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 17, for example, the server 20 sets a second serial number that can be specified only by the input completed portion, in accordance with the phrase whose input is completed in the first area 61 To the second area 62. [0050] Of course, the server 20 does not have to update the display content in the second area 62 until the input contents for all the input areas constituting the input form displayed in the first area 61 are confirmed .

When a pull-down menu in the "maker name" field 66 is operated on the input / output screen 60 to reselect another company name, some or all of the input area of the first area 61 has already been input 2 area 62 and the like, information on the second product is displayed on the server 20. The server 20 is a product of the company after the re-selection of the "maker (name)" field 66, (66) is displayed on the first area (61). More specifically, the extracting unit 42 refers to the database 41 to extract the first product corresponding to the information (the serial number and the option) about the second product displayed in the second area 62 or the like Search in reverse order among the products of company after selection. If there is a corresponding product as a result of the reverse order search, the extracting unit 42 displays the serial number of the closer product among the corresponding products together with the input form corresponding to the serial number. If there is no corresponding product, the extracting unit 42 displays the input form corresponding to any one of the serial numbers sold by the company after the re-selection as a non-entered state.

18 is a diagram showing an example of outputting information on the second product. After completion of the input of the first serial number for the input form of the first area 61, the server 20 displays information about the second product associated with the first serial number. Specifically, first, as shown in Fig. 18, the server 20 reads the second serial number associated with the input first serial number from the database 41 and displays it in the second area 62 . That is, the server 20 displays the second serial number on the display unit 15 of the terminal 10, thereby providing the user using the terminal 10 with information necessary for selecting the second product. More specifically, when the input of all the phrases constituting the first serial number is completed, the server 20 stores the phrase of the second serial number corresponding to the first serial number in the database 41 , And displays the specified second serial number in the second area 62. [

18, the server 20 causes the third area 63 to display an option applied to the second product indicated by the second serial number displayed in the second area 62 (step < RTI ID = 0.0 > . Here, the option displayed in the third area 63 upon completion of the input of the first serial number is an option corresponding to the first product specified by the first serial number. The option corresponding to the first product refers to " the option selected for the purpose of equalizing the performance ratio with the first product ". That is, the " second product " which is another product corresponding to the first product refers to a product to which the first product can be employed and which can be employed in the same manner as the first product. The " second product " may be a product (standard product) to which the option is not applied among the products provided by the manufacturer of the second product, but in the specification of the standard product, a difference in performance ratio with the first product is not negligible There may be cases where it occurs. By applying the option corresponding to the first product to the standard product, the product can be made into a product corresponding to the first product, that is, the " second product ". The option corresponding to the first product is uniquely specified by the database 41 according to the first serial number (for example, see Figs. 6 to 8).

17, 18, and the like, the second serial number is output using a plurality of text boxes provided in the second area 62, but this is an example of the output method of the second serial number However, it can be changed appropriately. In Fig. 18, options (double seal) related to the dustproof specifications and options (stainless steel) relating to the bearing material are displayed. However, these are not limitative examples of options corresponding to the first product, An option corresponding to the first product according to the second product to be extracted as a product for replacing the first serial number is appropriately displayed.

Further, as described above, the second product is not completely identical to the first product. For example, the criteria regarding the accuracy of the linear guides may differ from one company to another, and even if the names of the surface treatments are the same for the surface treatments, the actual compositions and the like may be different. The same is true for the other options (for example, see Fig. 24 and the like). The manufacturer of the second product (for example, A company) performs processing or the like for applying the option corresponding to the first product to the " standard specification product " at the processing base of the product, As shown in Fig.

19 is a diagram showing another example of the output of information on the second product. According to the first serial number, the server 20 outputs information indicating that the second product corresponding to the input first serial number can not be provided. For example, in the case where it is not assumed that the combination of "precision" and "preload" represented by the first serial number is realized by the second product, the server 20, as shown in FIG. 19, Information indicating that the product can not cope with the combination corresponding to the precision and the preload of the first product (for example, a character string of " out of the production support range ") may be output. The content of " Out of the production response range " is merely an example and can be changed appropriately. Also in this case, the server 20 means that it is possible to provide a second product corresponding to the first serial number in terms of precision and preload, and it is possible to use at least the second area 62 And outputs information on the second product.

The server 20 may output information on the dimensions of the second product as information on the second product. In this case, specifically, the server 20 displays a "check dimension" button 67 and a "check specification" button 68 on the input / output screen 60 shown in FIG. 12 or the like . The " check dimension " button 67 has a second product for replacing the first product indicated by the inputted first serial number after completion of the input of the first serial number, for example, and the second area 62 It is possible to operate in a case where information on the second product is outputted by using the information. When the "Dimension check" button 67 is operated by the user who uses the terminal 10, the server 20 confirms dimensions not shown in the drawings for confirming the dimensions of the rail mounting holes of the second product And causes the display unit 15 of the terminal 10 to display the screen. The server 20 may change the dimensions of the rail mounting hole positions or the like on the dimension confirmation screen. In this case, the server 20 reflects the dimension of the rail mounting hole position entered in the dimension confirmation screen in the delivery specification data.

The " specification confirmation " button 68 is, for example, a second product for replacing the first product indicated by the inputted first serial number after completion of the input of the first serial number, It is possible to operate in a case where information on the second product is outputted by using the information. Further, the server 20 may make the "specification confirmation" button 68 operable after the "confirmation of dimension" button 67 is operated one or more times. When the "specification confirmation" button 68 is operated by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 displays the specification confirmation screen 70 on the display unit 15 of the terminal 10.

20 is a diagram showing an example of the specification confirmation screen 70. Fig. Fig. 20 shows a specification screen 70 of the linear guide of the second product. However, the display of the specification confirmation screen 70 is not limited to this example. The server 20 displays a comparison screen in which the information on the first product extracted by the extracting unit 42 and the information on the second product and the numeric comparable information including the dimensions are arranged in parallel. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, for example, the server 20 displays a row on which the dimensions of the second product, etc., and the dimensions of the first product are displayed on the specification confirmation screen 70 A table 71 in which rows are arranged in parallel in a predetermined direction (e.g., the longitudinal direction) is displayed on the display unit 15 of the terminal 10. [ The server 20 provides the information that can be numerically compared between the second product and the first product which are arranged in the vertical direction in an ascertainable manner by the output of the table 71. [ As described above, the specification confirmation screen 70 of the present embodiment functions as a comparison screen.

The server 20 displays on the comparison screen the display mode when the numerical value of the first product is the same as the numerical value of the second product and the display mode when the numerical value of the first product and the numerical value of the second product are different As a different display mode. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, for example, the server 20 stores an item in which the numerical value of the second product and the numerical value of the first product are different from each other, 1 Outputs the item with the same numerical value for the product in a state in which it can be distinguished. More specifically, the server 20 determines that only the numerical value of the items with different numerical values related to the second product is different from the background color (e.g., white) of the specification confirmation screen 70 Yellow, etc.). On the other hand, the server 20 does not color other cells. As described above, the server 20 functions as the display control section 43 for controlling the display manner of the information displayed on the display section 15 based on the information extracted by the extracting section 42, and the specification of the first product And the difference of the specification of the second product. The second product and the first product are output in a display mode in which items having different values can be more easily grasped. In Fig. 20, a mask pattern is applied to the colored cells to perform the shown in the figure. In Fig. 20, display patterns of different specifications (numerical values) are made different depending on the presence or absence of coloring of the cells, but this is not an example of a method of making the display modes different. For example, the display mode may be different depending on at least one of the color of the character indicating the numerical value, the thickness of the character, the size of the character, the presence or absence of the underline applied to the character, .

In addition, the server 20 displays, on the comparison screen, a manual functioning as information on the difference between the specification of the first product and the specification of the second product. Concretely, for example, in accordance with the preamble of " There are some places in the standard specification of Company A in the selection of this time " shown in Fig. 20, the specification of the second product is " (In this case, company A) " and it is possible that there is a possibility that it may be different from the specification of the first product. In addition, the server 20 indicates the specification of the second product in accordance with the sentence (item) written after the " In the example shown in Fig. 20, "· the surface treatment is selecting low-chrome low-chromium plating", "· we apply a precision grade for random matching products that can respond to delivery" We apply the preload classification for possible random matching products. " Some or all of these sentences may be static outputs (fixed sentences) or dynamic outputs (sentences according to products) that are changed according to the extracted second product. The sentence corresponding to the dynamic output may be selected according to the second product according to a conditional expression applied to a program (script or the like) used for outputting the comparison screen 70, And may be made to correspond to each other by a DB such as the base 41 or the like.

The server 20 may display a standard drawing 72 for confirming the dimensions of the second product on the comparison screen, for example, as shown in Fig. In this case, the server 20 reads the standard drawing data 32 from the storage unit 21 and includes the standard drawing 72 in the display form of the specification confirmation screen 70. [ The standard drawing 72 is displayed below the table 71, for example, and functions as a dimension drawing using the sign of the dimension used in the table 71. Concretely, for example, the "assembly dimension" in the table 71 shown in FIG. 20 is given the symbols "H", "E", and "W ₂ ". Each of these symbols represents the height dimension (H) of the linear guide in the standard drawing 72, the height dimension (E) from the lower surface of the rail to the lower surface of the bearing, (W ₂ ) ", and these codes are given in the standard drawing 72. The same applies to other codes included in the table 71 and the standard drawing 72. In the present embodiment, characters represented by subscript characters (e.g., " 2 " in W ₂ ) in FIG. 20 are shown in the database 41 in a state of not being subscripted characters. This indicates that the subscript character is not employed in the item of the database 41. It is also possible to specify the correspondence between the item recorded in the database 41 and the item of the table 71 in Fig. There is no obstacle to it.

In addition, the standard drawing 72 in this embodiment is a reference view for confirming the dimensions of the second product. That is, the standard drawing 72 is for the purpose of helping understanding of the dimensions of the second product, not for showing the exact shape of the second product. The standard drawing 72 of the present embodiment is displayed by reading the data (standard drawing data 32) for which the display mode of the drawing has already been determined. For this reason, the standard drawing 72 does not necessarily reflect the concrete form of the option displayed in the third area 63. In other words, the standard drawing 72 is a representative drawing of each product category (for example, a category by "series" or a category by "bearing type"), It is not a drawing showing a form.

In addition, the standard drawing 72 of the present embodiment also includes a code relating to the dimensions not included in the table 71. Thereby, the inquiry can be made using the sign of the standard drawing 72 when inquiring about information (more detailed dimensions, etc.) other than the information obtained from the specification confirmation screen 70. [

The server 20 may output information indicating whether or not the second product is an instant-ready product. Specifically, the server 20 judges whether or not it is possible to instantaneously deliver a conditional expression using a second serial number and a number (e.g., " dustproof part number "). In the case where the instant delivery is impossible, the server 20 may display a sentence such as " The selected product can not be responded to delivery but can be produced by A company " in the specification confirmation screen 70. On the other hand, with respect to the second product that is "instantly receivable", such a sentence may not be displayed or may be clearly displayed as "immediate delivery is possible". Whether or not the data is instantly receivable may correspond to the data constituting the serial number of the second product in the database 41 and the data indicating "whether or not the data can be instantly delivered".

Fig. 21 is a view showing an example of the assembled dimension accuracy confirmation screen 75. Fig. The product replacement support system (1) may have a structure for making it possible to confirm the assembly dimensional accuracy of the second product. Concretely, the server 20 may display the "assembly dimension accuracy" button 73 on the specification confirmation screen 70, for example, as shown in FIG. When the "assembly dimension accuracy" button 73 is operated by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 displays the assembly dimension accuracy confirmation screen 75 as shown in FIG. 21, for example. The assembly dimensional accuracy confirmation screen 75 provides information on the assembly dimensional accuracy of the second product in the form of a table in which, for example, the permissible value of the dimension and the mutual difference (precision grade) are associated with each other in the second product. Fig. 21 shows an example in which the assembly dimension accuracy confirmation screen 75 is displayed as an independent window, but a specific display manner (including items) for enabling confirmation of the assembly dimension accuracy can be appropriately changed.

Fig. 22 is a diagram showing an example of the quotation condition input screen 80. Fig. The product replacement support system 1 may have a structure for enabling estimation of the second product. Specifically, the server 20 may display a button (a "specification confirmation" button 74 in this embodiment) on the specification confirmation screen 70 for requesting a quotation, for example. When the button is operated by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 displays the quotation condition input screen 80 as shown in Fig. 22, for example. The user using the terminal 10 can request an estimate related to the purchase of the second product from the quotation condition input screen 80 shown in Fig. The quotation condition input screen 80 has, for example, a display area 81 of a second serial number, an input area 90 for inputting various specification items concerning a quotation request, and the like. The input area 90 includes, for example, a delivery destination code display area 82 indicating a delivery destination of the product, a quantity designation text box 91 for inputting the number of purchases of the second product, A specification request check box 92 for inputting a request for information indicating the specification of the second product at the same time as the request for quotation, and a diagram showing a second product (payment specification) (93a, 93b), a CAD data request check box (93a, 93b) for inputting whether or not to request the CAD data of the delivery specification chart at the same time as the request for quotation, And an enter button (an "instant quote" button 83 in the present embodiment) for confirming the contents of an input field and an estimate request such as the order information 94 and the like. When the determination button is operated by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 outputs the product specification information used for ordering the second product based on the extraction result by the extraction unit 42. [ In this manner, the server 20 functions as the output section 44. [ 22, if "Japanese" and "English" are set as the language of the drawings which can be requested by the request specification check box, the request item check boxes 93a and 93b corresponding to the respective items are installed have. The request by each of the delivery specification check boxes 93a and 93b is the same except that the language used in the delivery specification specification output according to the request is Japanese or English. In this embodiment, when it is not necessary to distinguish the delivery specification check boxes 93a and 93b, the delivery specification is also referred to as a request check box 93. [

The server 20 causes the quotation answer screen (refer to FIG. 37) to be displayed after the " immediately quotation " button 83 is operated on the quotation condition input screen 80, for example. The display content of the quotation response screen includes information such as a quotation price related to the provision of the second product for which a quotation is requested by the quotation condition input screen 80, a shipping date, and the like. Here, when the specification request check box 92 is checked, the server 20 displays the product specification information on the pop-up screen together with the display of the quotation response screen.

23 is a diagram showing an example of outputting product specification information. As shown in Fig. 23, the product specification information includes, for example, "date" indicating the date on which the product specification information was output, "user ID" indicating the user who made the request for the product specification information, Quot; reference number " indicating the first serial number means a reference model number indicating the first serial number, and " standard price " indicating the quotation price is a reference date indicating the delivery date scheduled at the time of outputting the product specification information. &Quot; and the like. In this manner, the server 20 includes the first serial number in the product specification information.

When the confirmation button is operated in a state where a check is made in the specification request check box 92 by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 outputs the product specification information. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, for example, the server 20 outputs product specification information including specification information. In the case of the example shown in Fig. 23, the specification information is information indicating various items such as " series " described below on the " reference delivery date " Here, the items from the "precision grade" to the "material" column described below in the "number of bearings" column of the specification information are inclusive of the options of the second product. For example, the specifications described in the "surface treatment" column and the "vibration proof" column in the specification information shown in FIG. 23 correspond to the option displayed in the third area 63 on the input / output screen 60. Thus, the specification information includes information on the option. The specification information shown in Fig. 23 is specification information corresponding to information on the second product and information on options output from the input / output screen 60 shown in Fig. The details of the specification information and the output format are not limited to the example shown in Fig. 23, and can be appropriately changed.

If the confirmation button is operated in a state in which the request item check box 93 is checked by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 displays the delivery specification of the second product to which the option is applied And generates and outputs data. More specifically, the CAD engine generates CAD data using data corresponding to information (e.g., a second serial number, etc.) related to the second product, and converts the CAD data into drawing data Dimensional image data such as image data). Here, the drawing of the second product represented by the CAD data and the drawing data reflects the option applied to the second product for which the quotation is requested. For example, in the case where there is an option to change the external shape and dimensions of the product depending on whether or not the option is applied as in the lubricating unit described later, the drawings of the second product, which are represented by the CAD data and the drawing data, And the changes in the external shape and dimensions are reflected. As described above, when the option is applied to the second product, the server 20 functions as the drawing generating unit 45 that generates data of the supplied product of the second product to which the option is applied.

When the confirmation button is operated in a state in which the CAD data request check box 94 is checked by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 determines that the delivery specification of the second product to which the option is applied The CAD data generated at the time of generation is output together with the output of the product specification information.

The server 20 sends various kinds of data such as the delivery specification data and the like to the user by a predetermined method. Specifically, the server 20 attaches various kinds of data such as input specification and data to an electronic mail, for example, and transmits it to a user who made a request for quotation. Information (a "user ID" and a mail address, etc.) about the user who made the request for quotation as a transmission destination can be specified at the time when the user completes the login to the product replacement support system 1. [

The product that can make the quote request is not necessarily limited to the second product corresponding to the first product. Specifically, the server 20 may display a button (an "option" button in this embodiment) for inputting an option in the third area 63 of the input / output screen 60, for example. When the button is operated by the user using the terminal 10, the server 20 displays the option setting screen 100 in which the option applied to the second product can be added, changed or deleted to the display unit (not shown) of the terminal 10 15).

Fig. 24 is a diagram showing an example of the option setting screen 100. Fig. The option setting screen 100 shown in Fig. 24 is a screen related to addition, change, or deletion of an option of the linear guide product, Quot ;, " dustproof ", and " cap for mounting hole ". For "surface treatment", "rail only" can be specified. In the absence of a check for "rail only", for example, surface treatment is applied to both bearings and rails, and when there is a check of "rail only", surface treatment is applied only to the rails. The options that can be specified on the option setting screen 100 may be changed as appropriate according to the product.

The server 20 does not include the first serial number in the product specification information when the option applied to the second product is not an option corresponding to the first product due to the input to the option setting screen 100. [ Specifically, when some or all of the options applied to the second product as the options corresponding to the first product are changed or deleted by the input to the option setting screen 100, or when the options other than the options corresponding to the first product The server 20 acquires from the various pieces of information included in the product specification information the " reference model number " indicating the first serial number The product specification information is output with the column deleted.

Fig. 25 and Fig. 26 are charts showing an example of the flow of processing of the product replacement support system 1. Fig. First, when the terminal 10 requests the server 20 to log in to the product replacement support system 1 (step S1), the server 20 controls the mode of the display unit 15 of the terminal 10 And outputs an input screen for displaying a login screen not shown in the figure on the display unit 15 (step S2). Specifically, the display control unit 43 transmits and outputs data for displaying a login screen on the web browser to the terminal 10, for example, in response to an access from the terminal 10 performed through a web browser. Hereinafter, in the processing in which the server 20 serving as the display control section 43 controls the display content of the display section 15 of the terminal 10, it is assumed that data is transmitted and output by the same structure.

When the terminal 10 inputs information about the login (e.g., input of a user ID and a password) (step S3), the server 20 performs an authentication process (step S4). The display control unit 43 performs an output for displaying the input / output screen 60 (see FIG. 12, etc.) on the display unit 15 (step S5). Here, the display control section 43 is provided with a plurality of input areas for individually inputting a plurality of phrases constituting the first serial number, for example, in the first area 61 of the input / output screen 60 And displays the input form on the display unit 15.

When the validity of the login of the user is not confirmed as a result of the authentication processing, the server 20 performs predetermined error processing such as notifying the effect. Details of the processing of the authentication processing are general, and therefore the details will be given. In the flowcharts shown in Fig. 25 and Fig. 26, only the flow when the legitimacy of the user's login is confirmed (when the login is successful) is described.

When the input of the "maker name" field 66 or the input of a part of the first serial number is made from the terminal 10 (step S6), the server 20 updates the input form according to the input contents S7). More specifically, the display control section 43 updates the input area of another phrase whose input is not completed in accordance with a combination pattern of other phrases that can be limited or specified by a part of the phrases whose input is completed among a plurality of phrases of the input form do. The processing in steps S6 and S7 continues until the input of the first serial number is completed in the terminal 10 (step S8; No). When the input of the first serial number is completed (step S8; Yes), the server 20 functions as the extracting unit 42, and the database 41 is accessed by using the first serial number input through the terminal 10. [ (Step S9). The extracting unit 42 reads information on the second product including the second serial number and the option applied to the second product from the database 41. [ Further, the extracting unit 42 reads information (dimensions and the like) relating to the first product used for parallel display on the comparison screen from the database 41. If the comparison screen is omitted, the extraction of information on the first product is omitted.

The display control section 43 controls the display mode of the information displayed on the display section 15 based on the information extracted by the extracting section 42. [ Specifically, the display control section 43 outputs an output for displaying the second serial number in the second area 62 of the input / output screen 60 (step S10). If there is an option (step S11; Yes), the display control unit 43 outputs an option to display the option in the third area 63 of the input / output screen 60 (step S12). If there is no option (step S11; No), the processing of step S12 is omitted.

When the request for displaying the comparison screen (for example, the operation of the " specification confirmation " button 68) is performed from the terminal 10 (step S13), the display control unit 43 extracts (Step S14). In this case, it is determined whether or not the comparative information including the dimensions of the first product and the information related to the second product are parallel to each other. Here, the display control section 43 determines that the display mode when the numerical value relating to the first product is equal to the numerical value relating to the second product, the numerical value relating to the first product, Are different from each other. Further, the display control section 43 causes the standard drawing 72 to be displayed on the comparison screen (step S15). Specifically, the display control section 43 displays, for example, a specification confirmation screen 70 (see FIG. 20).

When there is a request (for example, an operation of an "option" button) relating to the setting of an option from the terminal 10 (step S16; Yes), the display control section 43 adds, Or deletes the option setting screen 100 on the display unit 15 (step S17). If there is no request concerning the setting of the option (step S16; No), the processing in steps S17 to S19 is omitted. When the option is added, changed, or deleted from the terminal 10 (step S18; Yes), the display control unit 43 displays the option of the option applied to the second product And updates the display of the option displayed in the third area 63 (step S19). If there is no option addition, change or deletion from the terminal 10 (step S18; No), the processing of step S19 is omitted. 33, the display control section 43 may determine whether the selection of the option added, changed or deleted in step S18 is correct (step S31 ). In this case, when the selection of the option is correct (step S31; Yes), the display control section 43 proceeds to the processing of step S19. When the selection of the option is not correct (step S31; Yes), the display control unit 43 outputs an instruction to display the notification of the option on the display unit 15 (step S32). The notification displayed by the output of the step S32 is, for example, a notification by the pop-up screen 122 shown in Fig. After the processing of step S32, the product replacement support system 1 returns to step S17.

When the input (e.g., operation of the " specification confirmation " button 74) indicating the start of the quotation request is performed from the terminal 10 (step S20), the display control unit 43 extracts An output for displaying the quotation condition input screen 80 used for ordering the second product based on the result is output (step S21). When an input indicating the completion of the quotation request (for example, operation of the "immediate quotation" button 83) is made from the terminal 10 on the quotation condition input screen 80 (step S22) And displays the answer screen (step S23). When the specification request check box 92 is checked on the quotation condition input screen 80 (step S24; Yes), the server 20 displays the product specification information on the pop-up screen together with the display of the quotation response screen (Step S25). Here, the output unit 44 includes the first serial number in the product specification information when the option applied to the second product is not an option corresponding to the first product by the input to the option setting screen 100 Do not. Specifically, the server 20 determines whether or not options are added, changed or deleted by going through the processing of step S15. When the option is added, changed or deleted, the output unit 44 outputs the product specification information in a state in which information indicating the first serial number (for example, "reference model number") is deleted . When the option is not added, changed or deleted, the output unit 44 outputs the product specification information including the information indicating the first serial number (for example, "reference model number"). If there is a request for the supplied product specification data (for example, check of the requested product specification request check box 93) (Step S26; Yes) upon completion of the quotation request, (Step S27). ≪ / RTI >

In the above description, description has been made on the completion of the generation of the data of the supplied product specification. However, the product replacement support system 1 may be arranged such that the contract of the electronic commerce through the screen of purchase of the second product And may further include a structure for performing the operation.

Further, the product replacement support system 1 may have a structure for simplifying the input of the first serial number. Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an example of the simple replacement screen 110. Fig. The server 20 selects either "simple substitution" or "detailed substitution" at a predetermined position (for example, the right side of the "maker name" field 66) of the input / output screen 60 (For example, a radio button 69 or the like) may be displayed. Here, when " detailed replacement " is selected, display control and input relating to the first area 61 described above are performed. On the other hand, when "simple substitution" is selected, the server 20 selects a part of the input area corresponding to the information (attribute) which is not essential for the specification of the second product among the plurality of input areas constituting the input form And causes the display section 15 of the terminal 10 to display an input form in which the entirety is omitted. An input form displayed in the first area 61 of the simple replacement screen 110 shown in Fig. 27 is an input form in which an input area corresponding to information (attribute) which is not essential for specifying the second product is omitted. The input area omitted in the simple replacement screen 110 may be any or all of the input area corresponding to the information (attribute) which is not essential to the specification of the second product.

The first serial number required to be input in the first area 61 of the simple replacement screen 110 is a serial number indicating at least the series and size of the first product, the type and number of bearings, and the rail length. The display control unit may be either "detailed replacement" in the input / output screen 60 described with reference to FIG. 12 and the like, "simple replacement" such as the simple replacement screen 110 shown in FIG. 27, An input form consisting of a plurality of input areas for separately inputting each of a plurality of phrases constituting a first serial number indicating a size, a type and number of bearings, and a rail length is displayed on the display unit.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, information indicating the difference in the specification of the second product relative to the specification of the first product is displayed with respect to the linear guide, so that it is possible to more reliably provide information in consideration of differences between products. By using the product replacement support system 1 of the present embodiment, a customer who desires replacement from the first product to a second product, a salesperson who recommends such replacement, You can automate the task of changing the serial number by listing the catalog that contains the product's product.

In the case where the numerical values of the first product and the numerical values of the second product are different from each other and the numerical values of the second product are different from the numerical values of the first product and the second product Can be more clearly shown. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably provide information in consideration of the difference between the first product and the second product.

Further, by using the existing standard drawing data 32 for displaying the standard drawing 72, which is a reference diagram for confirming the dimensions of the second product, it is possible to further simplify the processing related to the display of the standard drawing 72 And the load of the processing can be reduced. On the other hand, it is considered that a rigid view of the product is appropriate for the supplied product specification provided at the time of product quotation. Therefore, by generating the data on the supplied product specification of the second product to which the option is applied by the drawing generating unit 45, it is possible to provide an appropriate figure for quotation and order. As described above, according to the present embodiment, reduction in processing load and provision of a more rigorous drawing can be achieved in accordance with the use of the drawings.

In addition, information indicating the first product to be replaced by the second product can be included in the product specification information. Thus, it is possible to record what product was used before replacement. Further, in the second product actually used as the substitute for the first product, it becomes easy to specify the cause of the phenomenon associated with the occurrence of any phenomenon unsuitable for substitution of the first product. That is, since the first product before substitution is clear, comparison verification of the first product and the second product becomes easy.

In addition, any option may be applied to the second product. Further, by deleting the first serial number from the second product product specification information which is not necessarily the specification for replacing the first product in accordance with the change of the option, the " the second product is the product which replaces the first product " Can be reduced from the product specification information. For this reason, for example, when it is desired to order the second product from the product specification information obtained in the past or the like, it is determined in the product specification information that " whether the characteristic of the second product including the option corresponds to the first product " The validity of the substitution from the viewpoint of " whether or not the first serial number is described in the product specification information ". Therefore, it helps to understand the product when the product specification information is used afterwards.

Also, the first serial number can be input in units of phrases. In addition, since some of the phrases whose input has been completed are updated in accordance with the combination pattern of other phrases that can be limited or specified among the rest of the phrases that have not been entered yet, the input of the remaining phrases can be performed more easily.

In the above embodiment, the option setting screen 100 described with reference to Fig. 24 is merely an example and does not limit the options handled in the present invention. 28 is a diagram showing another example of the option setting screen. As shown in Fig. 28, the option setting screen 120 is used to set the option setting screen 120 in the order of the accuracy, preload, material, surface treatment, lubrication unit, It may be a screen for selecting a tanker mounting position and direction, a dustproof component, and a mounting hole cap. The features of precision, preload, material, and surface treatment applied to the linear guide by the option are the same as those in the above embodiment.

29 is a view showing an example of a specific configuration of the linear guide. Of the various features selected from the option setting screen, the lubrication unit indicates the presence, type, number, etc. of the lubrication unit installed in the linear guide. For example, when a lubrication unit of "K1 2" is selected, it indicates that two lubrication units named "K1" are installed. The selection of the lubrication unit including the character string indicating the use in the name, such as " food / medical device " can also be performed by the item (lubrication unit). The lubrication unit is provided, for example, between the bearing 200 shown in Fig. 29 and the seal member 202.

The option of the sealing lubricant of the lubrication unit indicates the characteristics of the lubricant contained in the above-described lubrication unit. Specifically, "AS2", "PS2", "LR3", "LG2", "NF2", " , And the like, the user who uses the terminal 10 can specify the lubricant specifically. The encapsulating lubricant of the lubrication unit is selected from the item of " encapsulating lubricant " in Fig. Selection of lubricating oil containing a character string indicating the use in the name, such as " anti-rust oil ", can also be performed in the item (containing lubricant).

The option of the mounting posture shows a feature relating to the arrangement of the rails 201. Fig. For example, there are "horizontal", "vertical", "slope", "wall" and "upside down". Quot; horizontal " indicates that the rail 201 is horizontally disposed. &Quot; Vertical " indicates that the rail 201 is disposed so as to stand upright with respect to the horizontal line. The "inclination" indicates that the straight line connecting the electric paths on both sides of the rail 201 is arranged to be inclined with respect to the horizontal line. &Quot; Wall " indicates that the electric paths on both sides of the rail 201 are arranged so as to be in a vertical positional relationship. "Upside-down hanging" indicates that the bearing 200 is disposed below the rail 201.

Figs. 30 and 31 are views for explaining the mounting reference plane. Fig. The option of the mounting reference surface is a contact surface with an object to which the bearing 200 and the rail 201 are fixed respectively and shows a characteristic relating to the surface (reference plane) on which the bearing 200 and the rail 201 are positioned . For example, " single-row W2 " shown in Fig. 28 is an example of the mounting reference plane (the right side rail shown in Fig. 30) of the rail 201 in which the positioning of the bearing 200 and the rail 201 is a single row 211 and the mounting reference surface 210 of the bearing 200 provided on the rail 201 and the mounting reference planes 210, 211 of the bearing 200 and the rail 201 of the linear guide are placed on the load side And the width of the assembled dimension becomes the width W2 shown in Fig. 30 by existence. In the example shown in Fig. 31, the mounting reference plane 212 of the rail 201 is on the opposite side to the load side, and the assembled dimension width becomes the width W3.

The option of the rail joint specification is such that when the rail 201 is laid with a length exceeding the maximum production length of the rail 201, a plurality of rails 201, Specification (joint specification). For example, the character string " standard " shown in Fig. 28 indicates that the rail 201 is provided so as to perform the joining of the rail 201 with a standard specification determined by the manufacturer of the second product.

The option of the lubricator type characterizes the joint of the pipe (grease nipple 203) installed for supplying lubricant (lubrication) to the lubricating unit. For example, " JIS B type (standard) " in the type of lubricating oil shown in Fig. 28 indicates the shape of the grease nipple 203 and that a lubricator corresponding to this shape can be connected.

The options of the tanker mounting position and the direction indicate the position where the grease nipple 203 is installed and the direction of the grease nipple 203. More specifically, for example, the position of the grease nipple 203 shown in Fig. 29 corresponds to the " cross-sectional standard " shown in Fig. The " standard (opposite to the reference plane) " indicates that the tip of the grease nipple 203 faces the opposite side with respect to the reference plane of the linear guide (Figs. 30 and 31).

The options of the dust-proof parts represent features relating to the configuration for dust-proof (seal member 202). Specifically, for example, the seal member 202 shown in Fig. 29 shows specific features. &Quot; Standard " indicates that one seal member 202 is installed. &Quot; Double seal " indicates that two seal members 202 are stacked and installed. The " protector " indicates that a member (a protector) having a higher abrasion resistance or the like is added to the seal member 202. [ &Quot; Double seal + protector " indicates that the seal member 202 is provided in two and the protector is provided on the outermost circumferential surface. The dust-proof parts are selected from the items " dustproof " in Fig.

The option of the mounting hole cap indicates the presence or absence of a cap (for example, a resin cap) for closing the rail mounting hole.

32 is a diagram showing an example of notification of a warning concerning a combination of two or more options that can not be applied to the second product. The display control unit 43 notifies of a warning concerning a combination of two or more predetermined options. Specifically, the display control section 43 displays a pop-up screen 121 as shown in Fig. 32, for example. The pop-up screen 121 shown in Fig. 32 is configured such that, when the enclosed lubricant is "rust-preventive oil application", when a part of the mounting posture (wall mount or vertical) is selected, the lubricant is sufficiently supplied to the sliding parts of the bearing 200 and the rail 201 It is a pop-up screen to suggest that there is a possibility that it may not be possible. With this pop-up screen 121, attention can be urged by providing information to the owner in advance.

33 is a diagram showing an example of notification when a combination of two or more options that can not be applied to the second product is selected. The pop-up screen 122 shown in Fig. 33 is a pop-up screen 122 in which, when the "OK" button on the option setting screen is pressed in the selection state in which the inclusion lubricant is "rust preventive oil application" 2 product. ≪ / RTI > In this case, the display control unit 43 displays the same notification until the selectable option is selected, so that the selection of the option by the option setting screen 120 is not completed even if the " OK "

When a combination of two or more options that can not be applied to the second product is selected, the display control section 43 automatically changes the last selected option among the two or more options to an option applicable to the second product You can. Figs. 34 and 35 are diagrams showing an example in which an option is automatically replaced. Fig. As shown in Fig. 34, when "PH (precision grade)" is selected at the precision and "ZZ (preloaded)" is selected at the preload, "stainless steel" can not be selected for the material. In this case, even if " stainless steel " is selected as the material option, the display control section 43 automatically sets the option of the material to the " standard material " . The display control section 43 may display such a notification of automatic substitution (a pop-up screen or the like) indicating the reason for such automatic substitution.

In addition, when one or more options are selected and the other options are automatically limited to one, the display control unit 43 may fix the selection results of the other options to make them unchangeable. 36 is a diagram showing an example of an option setting screen in which other options are fixed. In the example shown in Fig. 36, when "K1 four pieces" is selected in the option of the lubricating unit, the dustproof option is fixed to "standard" and is unchangeable. This is because, in the case of applying the "four K1 pieces" lubrication units, the dustproof option is limited to "standard". In Fig. 36, since the option limited by the lubricating unit of " K1 four sheets " is only the vibration damping, options other than vibration damping can be changed. The display control section 43 controls the display mode of the option setting screen 120 on the basis of the conditions related to the combination of these options.

The conditions associated with the combination of options are stored in the storage unit 21, for example. That is, the storage unit 21 stores information on a combination of a plurality of options applied to the second product. Specifically, the storage unit stores various kinds of information such as whether or not a combination of options can be applied to the second product, whether to display a notification when a specific option is selected, whether or not to fix other options when the specific option is selected And data indicating a conditional expression for determining a condition. Such data is applied, for example, as a conditional expression in a software program. The server 20 determines processing contents according to the combination of options in accordance with this conditional expression. The display control section 43 performs various display controls described with reference to Figs. 28 to 36 by performing display control according to the determined processing contents. The determination of various conditions relating to the combination of options is not limited to that based on the conditional expression but can be appropriately changed. For example, whether or not the combination of options can be established in the database may be recorded, and the combination of options may be determined by referring to the database associated with the server.

The display control unit 43 may display an order screen (for example, the order screen 140 shown in FIG. 38) for accepting an order for the second product to be performed through the terminal 10 on the display unit . In addition, the display control section 43 displays an order change screen (for example, Fig. 41 (A)) in which an order can be made requesting the delivery time of the second product to be earlier than the normal delivery time of the second product The order change screen 170 shown in Fig.

37 is a diagram showing an example of the quotation response screen 130. FIG. Fig. 38 is a diagram showing an example of the order screen 140. Fig. Fig. 39 is a diagram showing an example of the order completion screen 150. Fig. FIG. 40 is a diagram showing an example of the order history inquiry screen 160. FIG. Fig. 41 is a diagram showing an example of the order change screen 170. Fig. Fig. 42 is a diagram showing an example of the order confirmation screen 180. Fig. The server 20 functions as the display control section 43 and performs processing for displaying these screens on the display section 15 of the terminal 10. [

When the "immediate quotation" button 83 is operated on the quotation condition input screen 80 shown in FIG. 22, the server 20 causes the quotation answer screen 130 shown in FIG. 37 to be displayed. The quotation response screen 130 in FIG. 37 displays an "estimate" area 131 in which a quotation condition entered on the quotation condition input screen 80 is reflected, a price as an answer to the quotation condition, Quot; button 134 for advancing the order processing when the user of the terminal 10 performs the ordering in the contents of the " answer ", and the order number at the time of ordering Order "area 133 for displaying a number (for example, a number). The order number is automatically generated based on, for example, predetermined rules.

When the " to order " button 134 is operated on the quotation response screen 130, the server 20 causes the ordering screen 140 as shown in Fig. 38 to be displayed. The order screen 140 shown in Fig. 38 has an "order contents" area 141 in which information on the payment conditions and the delivery place is displayed, in addition to the points indicated on the quotation answer screen 130. [ The display content of the "order content" area 141, that is, the information about the second product to be ordered by the user of the terminal 10, is shown. The order screen 140 also has a "Confirm" button 142 for confirming the order with the content displayed in the "Order content" area 141 and a "Cancel" button 143 for not ordering . When the " confirm " button 142 is pressed, the server 20 displays the order completion screen 150 as shown in Fig. 39 and accepts the order of the second order product.

The order completion screen 150 shown in Fig. 39 has an " order confirmation " area 151 indicating the same information as the " order contents " in the order screen. That is, the order completion screen 150 is a screen showing that the ordering to the contents displayed in the "order confirmation" area 151 is completed.

The information of the order placed on the ordering screen 140 is recorded in a database for ordering history recording not shown in the figure. The database for order history recording may be a function of the server 20 or a function of another information processing apparatus communicably connected to the server 20. [

The user of the terminal 10 can view the information of the order placed by the user from the information recorded in the database for order history recording on the order history inquiry screen 160 as shown in Fig. The transition to the order history inquiry screen 160 can be performed from the "order history inquiry" tab of the menu bar M displayed on various screens as shown in FIGS. 37 to 42, for example. Such a menu bar M may be included in another screen displayed by the product replacement support system such as the input / output screen shown in Fig. The order history inquiry screen 160 has an order information display area 161 in which information on orders corresponding to one ordering is displayed as a record of one line.

When a record in any row of the order information display area 161 is selected (e.g., clicked) on the order history inquiry screen 160, the server 20 displays an order change screen 170 ). In the order change screen 170, the user of the terminal 10 can place an order requesting the delivery time of the second product to be earlier than the normal delivery time of the second product ordered on the ordering screen 140 . Specifically, the order change screen 170 displays the serial number (A-model number) of the second product in the order selected on the order history inquiry screen 160, the quantity (quantity) of the second product, An area 171 indicating the same information as the " order contents " on the ordering screen such as a shipment date (shipping expected date), a " cancel " button 172 for canceling the order, Quot; button 173 for requesting the " immediate order " When the "cancel" button 172 is pressed, the server 20 performs a process of canceling the order when the predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is, for example, a case where the order is canceled for the order during the same day as the ordering time of the order placed from the ordering screen. The predetermined condition is arbitrary.

When the "immediate order" button 173 is pressed, the server 20 causes the order confirmation screen 180 as shown in FIG. 42 to be displayed. The display item of the order confirmation screen 180 is the same as the order completion screen except that the character string of "order confirmation" in the order completion screen 150 shown in FIG. 39 is changed to "immediate order confirmation" . However, the date set as the " shipment scheduled date " is a date corresponding to a faster delivery date than the normal delivery date of the second product ordered on the order screen. The degree of shortening of the delivery time when the " immediate order " button is pressed through the order change screen is determined based on all conditions related to the manufacture of the second product.

The server 20 may also function as an issuing unit (for example, the issuing unit 46 shown in Fig. 44) that issues a document indicating the contents of the order placed on the ordering screen 140. [ 43 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the product replacement support system 1A when the server 20 functions as the issuing unit 46. [ The product replacement support system 1A includes a terminal 50 and a printing device (printer) 51 provided at a base for manufacturing a second product, in addition to the configuration of the product replacement support system 1. [ The server 20 and the terminal 50 are communicably connected by a communication line Na of a computer network, for example. In the example shown in Fig. 43, although the communication line N and the communication line Na are independent of each other, they may be physically connected to the same network (for example, an Internet line). However, the product replacement support system 1A is provided so that direct communication between the terminal 10 and the terminal 50 becomes impossible. The terminal 50 is a so-called information processing apparatus (computer).

44 is a functional block diagram showing an example of functions of the server 20 in the product replacement support system 1A. The server 20 executes the product replacement support program 30 by the operation unit 22 to execute the product replacement support program 30 by using the database 41, the extraction unit 42, the display control unit 43, the output unit 44, (45) and the like, and also functions as the issuing unit (46).

45 is a diagram showing an example of the document 300 emitted by the issuing unit 46. As shown in Fig. The issuing unit 46 issues the slip 300 indicating the contents of the order placed on the order screen. Specifically, the server 20 issues the slip 300 by transmitting to the terminal 50 the data for printing the slip 300 indicating the contents of the order recorded in the database for ordering history recording . The terminal 50 can print out the document 300 (the moving table) as shown in Fig. 45 by performing printing based on the data using the printing apparatus 51. [ The printed out slip 300 is referred to in the production and shipping of the second product at the base for manufacturing the second product and is attached to the second product in delivery of the second product.

The format of the data for printing the slip 300 is arbitrary. This data is, for example, data representing contents of various items included in the document format shown in FIG. In this case, the document format is previously stored in the storage unit of the terminal 50. [ The data may be image data or the like. In this case, it is unnecessary to store and preserve the document format on the terminal 50 side.

46 is a view showing an example of a slip including a notation (express notation) indicating that an order requesting a delivery date of a second product to be made earlier has been made. The issuing unit 46 includes a notation indicating that the order requesting the delivery date of the second product to be made earlier is made in the order change screen. More specifically, as an order recorded in the database for order history recording, the server 20 transmits data for printing the slip 310 indicating the content of the order in which the " immediate order " button is pressed on the order change screen, (50) to issue the slip (310). As shown in Fig. 46, the slip 310 is accompanied by a symbol 311 including a character string of "limited express" in the contents of the normal slip 300 shown in Fig. By confirming the slip 310 to which the express notation is affixed, the manufacturer (step) who manufactures the second product can easily confirm that the order described in such slip is the order for which the delivery date is earlier.

29 to 46, the display control unit displays the quotation condition input screen 80 and the order screen 140, so that by inputting the first serial number from the terminal, Quotations and quote orders can be made.

In addition, the option setting screen 120 may be used to set the option setting screen 120 such as the accuracy of the second product, the preload, the material, the surface treatment, the inclusion lubricant of the lubrication unit, the mounting posture, the mounting reference plane, It is possible to arbitrarily select and determine the option according to the use of the second product.

In addition, options can be selected through the option setting screens 100 and 120. [ Further, it is possible to provide information related to the selection of the option by a warning relating to a combination of two or more predetermined options.

In addition, when a combination of two or more options that can not be applied to the second product is selected, by automatically replacing the last selected option among the two or more options with the option applicable to the second product, Can be selected.

In addition, when one or more options are automatically selected to limit one option, it is possible to fix the selection result of the other option so as to make it unchangeable, thereby suggesting a selection of options that can be combined.

In addition, an order change screen 170 capable of placing an order requesting the delivery time of the second product to be earlier than the normal delivery time of the second product ordered on the ordering screen 140 is displayed, (For example, symbol 311) indicating that an order requesting the delivery date to be made earlier is included in the voucher 310 by the issuing unit 461, , And can respond to a request to make the delivery date earlier than usual.

In the above embodiment, it is possible to select whether or not to supply the delivery specification data at the same time when the product specification information is requested. However, the delivery specification data may be automatically requested when the product specification information is requested. That is, the server 20 functioning as the drawing generating unit 45 may generate the input product specification data of the second product to which the option is applied when there is an input indicating the request of the product specification information from the terminal 10 do. Further, as data such as product specification information, data that can be downloaded in a file format that can be printed out by a printer or the like may be provided.

In the above embodiment, a product replacement support application is installed as a software program for building a so-called web system, but this is not limitative. For example, a product replacement support application may be configured by a software program for a server and a software program for a client.

In the above embodiment, the first product and the second product are linear guides, but other products may be the first product and the second product. Further, the option includes a characteristic relating to at least one of precision, preload, material, surface treatment, lubrication, or vibration damping, but it may be another feature.
