Description

Information management system and method, terminal device, server, and recording medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a technique for managing data relating to an environment forming apparatus.

Background

In recent years, techniques for managing various data concerning environmental testers have been developed. For example, japanese patent application laid-open No. 5588807 discloses a technique of storing, as logs, operation input data of a user, environment state data when the operation input data is input, control data of a device to be controlled which is output to an environment tester, and the like, in addition to environment state data of the environment tester. Accordingly, when the environmental tester fails, it can be easily confirmed whether the failure has occurred due to a user's erroneous operation or due to an erroneous operation of the device to be controlled of the environmental tester.

Further, japanese patent publication No. 5911453 discloses a chamber management apparatus that manages a plurality of chambers for performing an environmental test, which discloses that if an identification code of each chamber is received, a body specification pattern code corresponding to the identification code is acquired from a pattern code storage section, and information of body specification information corresponding to the chamber is extracted from a plurality of specification information stored in a specification information storage section using the body specification pattern code. Accordingly, the necessity of individually managing the specification information of the main body for each chamber is eliminated, and the amount of data stored in the specification information storage unit can be reduced.

The environment tester has a function of accumulating alarm history data indicating an alarm in a memory if the alarm is generated due to an abnormality. Therefore, the maintenance worker of the environmental tester displays the alarm history data stored in the memory in a list on the monitoring screen, analyzes the contents of the alarm, and determines the necessity of processing, and creates a maintenance plan in his/her own information terminal when determining that the processing is necessary. Then, if the work for the maintenance plan is finished, the maintenance worker creates a maintenance record using the paper.

In this way, in the conventional configuration, since the maintenance plan or the maintenance results are managed without being associated with the alarm history data, there is a problem that it takes time to confirm the operation of which alarm history data the maintenance data indicating the maintenance plan or the maintenance results correspond to.

Further, since neither of the japanese patent publication nos. 5588807 and 5911453 disclose maintenance data, the above-described problems of the conventional structure cannot be solved.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of an information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information management system includes a server 1 and a terminal device 3, and is connected to environment testers 2-1 and 2-2 (an example of an environment forming device). The server 1, the environment testers 2-1, 2-2, and the terminal apparatus 3 are connected to communicate with each other via a network NT. As the network NT, a local area network is used, for example. The local area network is, for example, a company intranet of a company provided with the environment testers 2-1 and 2-2. Hereinafter, the environmental testers 2-1 and 2-2 will be collectively referred to as an environmental tester 2. In addition, although two environment testers 2 are shown in fig. 1, this is merely an example, and one environment tester 2 may be provided, or three or more environment testers may be provided.

The server 1 is configured by a computer, and periodically communicates with the environmental tester 2 to acquire various data from the environmental tester 2 and manage the environmental tester 2.

The environment tester 2 is a device for performing various environmental tests such as a temperature cycle test on a sample contained in a test cell. Examples of the sample include electrical devices such as a smartphone, a control board, and electronic components such as an image sensor.

The terminal device 3 is a device that is configured by a personal computer and is used to input maintenance data indicating a maintenance plan and actual results for the environmental tester 2. The terminal device 3 is used for monitoring the state of the environmental tester 2 or scheduling maintenance of the environmental tester 2 by displaying information about the environmental tester 2 managed by the server 1.

In fig. 1, the network NT is described as a local area network, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured as a wide area network including the internet, a mobile phone communication network, and the like.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the information management system shown in fig. 1. The server 1 includes an operation history database 11, a control unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The operation history database 11 is constituted by, for example, a nonvolatile memory, and stores operation history data indicating the state of the environmental tester 2 and the like.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a data structure of the operation history database 11. The operation history database 11 includes a device table T1, an alarm master table T2, an operation history table T3, a maintenance table T4, and an alarm history table T5.

The device table T1 is a table storing the device data of the environmental testers 2 managed by the server 1, and one record corresponds to one environmental tester 2. Specifically, the device table T1 includes fields of "device ID", "IP address", and "device name". The "device ID" is an identifier of the environment tester 2. The "IP address" is a communication address of the environment tester 2, and is used when the server 1 communicates with a desired environment tester 2.

The "device name" is the name of the environmental tester 2. Here, the name of the environmental tester 2 arbitrarily set by the user, such as "thermostat-humidistat P-11", is used as the "device name". In the example of fig. 1, the environment tester 2 includes two units, and thus the device table T1 includes two records.

The alarm master table T2 is a table for storing types of alarms, and one record corresponds to alarm master data indicating the type of one alarm. Specifically, the alarm master table T2 includes fields of "alarm ID", "alarm content", "coping method", and "distinction". The "alarm ID" is an identifier for identifying the kind of alarm. The "alarm content" is content indicating an alarm corresponding to the type of the alarm such as "temperature rise". Data indicating a method of handling an alarm is stored in the field of the "handling method". Here, image data of an explanatory image explaining a coping method for an alarm is stored in a field of the "coping method". "discrimination" indicates, for example, an attribute of an alarm such as "abnormality". Here, as an attribute of the alarm, "warning" is given in addition to "abnormal".

The operation history table T3 is a table storing the operation history of the environment testing machine 2, and one record corresponds to one operation history data. Specifically, the operation history table T3 includes fields of "date and time of occurrence", "device ID", "operation state", "operation mode name", "alarm ID", "measured temperature", "set temperature", "measured humidity", "set humidity", and "classification". The "date and time of occurrence" indicates the date and time of generation of the operation history data as in "2018/8/8". The "device ID" is the same as the "device ID" of the device table T1. The "operation state" indicates the operation state of the environment testing machine 2 when the operation history data is generated. The "operation mode name" indicates the name of the operation mode, and indicates which operation mode the environment tester 2 operates in when the operation history data is generated. In this example, the environment tester 2 is operated in the operation mode with the operation mode name "25 ℃/60%", and therefore, the operation mode name is stored in the field of the "operation mode name".

The "alarm ID" is the same as the "alarm ID" stored in the alarm master table T2. In this example, the field of "alarm ID" stores an alarm ID that is issued when the operation history data is generated. When an alarm is not generated when the operation history data is generated, the field of the "alarm ID" is empty. The "measured temperature" is a measured value of the temperature in the test chamber of the environment tester 2 when the operation history data is generated. Here, "24.8℃" is stored in the field of "measured temperature". The "set temperature" is a set value of the temperature of the test bath of the environment tester 2 at the time of generating the operation history data. Here, 25 ℃ is set as the "set temperature". The "measured humidity" is a measured value of the humidity in the test chamber of the environmental tester 2 when the operation history data is generated. Here, "61% rh" is stored in the field of "measurement humidity". The "set humidity" is a set value of the humidity in the test chamber of the environmental tester 2 when the operation history data is generated. Here, "60% rh" is set as "set humidity". "division" indicates an attribute of the action history data. Examples of the "division" include "start" indicating that the operation of the environment tester 2 is started, "end" indicating that the operation of the environment tester 2 is ended, and "operation" indicating that the environment tester 2 is in operation.

The maintenance table T4 is a table storing maintenance data indicating a maintenance plan and actual results for the environmental tester 2, and one record corresponds to each maintenance data. Here, the maintenance includes maintenance and inspection performed by the user in addition to maintenance and inspection performed by the manufacturer of the environment tester 2.

Specifically, the maintenance table T4 includes fields of "date and time of occurrence", "maintenance ID", "device ID", "job classification", "content", "alarm ID", "status", "job start date and time", "job end date and time", "remark", and "file". "date and time of occurrence" indicates the time and period of maintenance data generation. In addition, the "date and time of occurrence" may be the date and time at which maintenance is actually performed. The "service ID" is an identifier of the service data. The "device ID" is an identifier of the environmental tester 2 to be serviced. The "operation division" indicates a maintenance division. Here, "check" is stored in the field of "job classification". "content" means the content of maintenance. Here, a "manufacturer inspection" indicating the contents of the inspection performed by the manufacturer of the environment tester 2 is stored in the "contents" field.

The "alarm ID" is an alarm ID associated with the maintenance data. Here, since the job classification is "check" and not processing of an alarm, "FALSE" indicating that an alarm ID is not associated is stored in the field of the "alarm ID". In addition, when the maintenance data is related to an alarm, the alarm ID of the alarm is stored in the field of "alarm ID".

The "state" indicates whether or not maintenance is dealt with. In the case of coping, a field of "state" stores "1" indicating coping, and in the case of not coping, a field of "state" stores "0" indicating not coping. A scheduled start date and time of maintenance and a start date and time of an actual maintenance job are stored in a field of "job start date and time". Here, "schedule: 2018/8/6/9:00 ", and" actual performance: 2018/8/6/9:00".

A scheduled end date and time of maintenance and an actual end date and time of maintenance are stored in the field of "job end date and time". Here, "schedule: 2018/8/8/17:00 ", and" actual results: 2018/8/6/17:00".

The "remarks" field stores the notes of maintenance by the person entering the maintenance data. Here, "periodic check" is stored in the field of "remark". An association file associated with the maintenance data is stored in the field of "file".

The alarm history table T5 is a table in which alarm history data indicating alarms issued by the environment tester 2 are stored, and one alarm history data is stored in one record. Specifically, the alarm log T5 includes fields of "date and time of occurrence", "alarm ID", "device ID", "maintenance ID", and "inspection". The "date and time of occurrence" is the date and time of generation of the alarm history data, and indicates the date and time of issuance of the alarm. The "alarm ID" is the same as the alarm ID described. The "device ID" is an identifier of the environmental tester 2 that issued the alarm. "maintenance ID" represents a maintenance ID of the maintenance data associated with the alarm history data. In addition, when the alarm history data is not associated with maintenance data, "FALSE" indicating that no maintenance data is associated is stored in the field of "maintenance ID". The "check" field stores data indicating whether the issued alarm was an alarm intentionally issued by a maintenance person at the time of the check. In the case of an intentionally issued alarm, a "TRUE" is stored in the field of "check", and in the case of an intentionally issued alarm, a "FALSE" is stored in the field of "check".

Reference is made back to fig. 2. The control unit 12 is configured by a computer including, for example, a CPU and a RAM, and manages the device table T1 to the alarm history table T5 shown in fig. 3. Specifically, the control unit 12 acquires the operation history data from the environment testing device 2 by periodically communicating with the environment testing device 2 through the communication unit 13, and stores the operation history data in the operation history table T3.

The control unit 12 receives the maintenance data transmitted from the terminal device 3 by the communication unit 13 and stores the data in the maintenance table T4. The control unit 12 acquires alarm history data from the environment testing machine 2 by periodically communicating with the environment testing machine 2 through the communication unit 13, and stores the alarm history data in the alarm history table T5. The control unit 12 acquires device data input to the terminal apparatus 3 by using the communication unit 13 and stores the device data in the apparatus table T1. Although the device data is input to the terminal apparatus 3, the user may directly input the device data to the server 1. At this time, the control unit 12 may store the device data input to the server 1 in the device table T1.

The control unit 12 acquires the alarm master data input to the terminal apparatus 3 by using the communication unit 13 and stores the acquired alarm master data in the alarm master table T2. Although the alarm master data is input to the terminal device 3, the user may directly input the alarm master data to the server 1. At this time, the control unit 12 may store the alarm master data input to the server 1 in the alarm master table T2.

The communication unit 13 is constituted by a communication circuit that connects the server 1 to the network NT.

The environment tester 2 includes a communication unit 21, an environment adjuster 22, an operation unit 23, a control unit 24, a sensor 25, and a memory 26. The communication unit 21 is constituted by a communication circuit that connects the environment tester 2 to the network NT.

The environment adjuster 22 is configured by, for example, a heater in the heating test chamber and a cooler in the cooling test chamber, and adjusts the temperature and humidity in the test chamber of the environment tester 2 under the control of the control unit 24 to adjust the test environment in the test chamber.

The operation unit 23 is constituted by an input device such as a touch panel and a numeric keypad, and receives various instructions to the environment tester 2 input by the user. Here, the input instruction is, for example, the name of the operation mode of the environment tester 2, the set temperature and the set humidity in the test chamber, and the like.

The control unit 24 is constituted by a computer including, for example, a CPU and a RAM, and integrally controls the entire environment tester 2. For example, the control unit 24 controls the environment adjuster 22 in accordance with various instructions from the user received by the operation unit 23. Further, if an abnormality of the environment tester 2 is detected based on the measurement value of the sensor 25, the control unit 24 generates an alarm, generates alarm history data concerning the alarm, and stores the alarm in the memory 26.

The control unit 24 generates operation history data during the operation of the environment testing machine 2 and stores the operation history data in the memory 26. Here, the operation history data may be generated at a timing such as when the operation of the environment testing device 2 is started, when the set temperature and the set humidity are changed, or when the operation of the environment testing device 2 is ended, or may be periodically generated during the operation. The control unit 24 controls the environment adjuster 22 based on the measurement value of the sensor 25 so that the environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) of the test chamber becomes a predetermined environment (e.g., set temperature and set humidity).

Further, if the communication unit 21 receives a data acquisition request periodically transmitted from the server 1, the control unit 24 transmits the operation history data and the alarm history data stored in the memory 26, that is, the operation history data and the alarm history data which are not transmitted to the server 1, to the server 1 by using the communication unit 21.

The sensor 25 is constituted by, for example, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, measures the state (for example, temperature and humidity) in the test chamber, and outputs the measured state to the control unit 24. The memory 26 is a nonvolatile memory and stores operation history data, alarm history data, and the like. In addition, the memory 26 stores data relating to various operating modes implemented by the environmental tester 2.

The terminal device 3 includes a communication unit 31, a display control unit 32, an operation unit 33, and a display 34. The communication unit 31 is constituted by a communication circuit for connecting the terminal apparatus 3 to the network NT. Here, the communication unit 31 receives the operation history data stored in the operation history database 11 from the server 1. Here, the operation history data includes operation history data, maintenance data, and alarm history data stored in the operation history table T3, the maintenance table T4, and the alarm history table T5, respectively.

The display control unit 32 generates an operation history screen G1 (see fig. 4: an example of the first display screen) for displaying the operation history data in a list according to the operation history data received by the communication unit 31, and displays the operation history screen on the display 34.

When the operation unit 33 receives an operation to select one of the alarm history data included in the plurality of operation history data displayed on the operation history screen G1, the display control unit 32 displays a maintenance registration screen G2 (see fig. 5: an example of a second display screen) for inputting maintenance data corresponding to the one alarm history data on the display 34. The display control unit 32 associates the maintenance data input to the maintenance registration screen G2 with one alarm history data and the environmental tester 2 to generate related data, and transmits the related data to the server 1 via the communication unit 31. Here, the related data is configured by, for example, including the alarm ID of the alarm history data and the device ID of the environment testing machine 2 to which the maintenance data corresponds.

The control unit 12 of the server 1 that has received the relevant data transmitted from the terminal device 3 performs processing for updating the operation history database 11 using the relevant data. Accordingly, the maintenance data input through the maintenance registration screen G2 is managed in association with the alarm history data.

The operation unit 33 is constituted by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, for example, and receives an operation from a user. In the present embodiment, the operation unit 33 receives an operation to select any one of the plurality of alarm history data displayed in a list on the operation history screen G1. The display 34 is constituted by a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The communication unit 31 is constituted by a communication circuit for connecting the terminal apparatus 3 to the network NT.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the operation history screen G1. The operation history screen G1 includes a condition input field R11 (an example of a first condition input field) and a list display field R12. The condition input field R11 is a field for inputting a search condition for narrowing down the range of the operation history data displayed in the list display field R12.

Specifically, the condition input field R11 includes input fields for "date of occurrence", "device name", and "category", a "display" button, and a "CSV output" button. The period of the date and time of occurrence of the operation history data to be displayed as a list is input to the input field of the "day of occurrence". The device name of the operation history data to be displayed in the list is input in the input field of the "device name". Further, if the pull-down button arranged at the right end of the input field of the "device name" is selected, the "device names" of all the environmental testers 2 managed by the server 1 are displayed in the form of a menu, and the user selects one or a plurality of environmental testers 2 to be displayed as the operation history data from among the environmental testers 2 displayed in the form of a menu.

The input field of "category" is a field for selecting a category of operation history data to be displayed as a list. Here, as the "category", one or more of "alarm generation", "maintenance work", and "operation" are selected. When "alarm generation" is selected, the alarm history data stored in the alarm history table T5 is displayed as a list. When the "maintenance work" is selected, the maintenance data stored in the maintenance table T4 is displayed as a list. When "operation" is selected, the operation history data stored in the operation history table T3 is displayed as a list.

The "display" button is a button for displaying a list of operation history data limited by the search condition input to the condition input field R11 in the list display field R12. When an operation for selecting the "display" button is input, the search condition input from the terminal device 3 to the server 1 is transmitted, and the control unit 12 of the server 1 extracts operation history data corresponding to the search condition from the operation history database 11 and transmits the operation history data to the terminal device 3.

The "CSV output" button is a button for outputting the operation history data displayed in the list display field R12 in the CSV format data.

The list display field R12 is a field for displaying a list of operation history data limited by the search condition input to the condition input field R11, and displays one operation history data for one line, and includes fields of "No", "date and time of occurrence", "cumulative time", "device name", "category", "division", "content", "inspection", and "maintenance plan/performance". The main fields among these fields are described below.

"No" indicates the order of the operation history data displayed in the list. In addition, the exercise history data is arranged in descending order of "date and time of occurrence". The "date and time of occurrence" is the date and time of occurrence of the operation history data. The "device name" is the device name of the environmental tester 2 corresponding to the matched operation history data. The "category" is any of "alarm generation", "maintenance work", and "operation". In the case of the alarm history data, "alarm occurrence" is displayed in the field of "type", in the case of the maintenance data, "maintenance work" is displayed in the field of "type", and in the case of the operation history data, "operation" is displayed in the field of "type".

In the field of the "division", if the operation history data corresponding to the field is the alarm history data, "abnormality" or "warning" is displayed. The "abnormality" or "warning" is determined by referring to the alarm master table T2 based on the "alarm ID" of the alarm history data. In addition, in the case where the operation history data corresponding to the "division" field is maintenance data, the contents of the "work division" field stored in the maintenance table T4 are displayed. In addition, in the case where the operation history data corresponding to the "division" field is the operation history data, the data (for example, "start") of the "division" field stored in the operation history table T3 is displayed.

In the field of "content" (an example of a content display field), when the matching operation history data is alarm history data, the content of an alarm is displayed. The content of the alarm is determined by referring to the "alarm content" in the alarm master table T2 based on the "alarm ID" of the alarm history data matched with the alarm. When the matched operation history data is alarm history data, a link is provided to the data displayed in the field of "content", and if an operation (for example, "click") to select the field of "content" is input, the display control unit 32 displays an explanation screen indicating a specific countermeasure against an alarm in a separate window. The explanation screen is read from the field of "coping method" of the alarm master table T2 and displayed.

Fig. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen. As shown in fig. 9, the explanation screen includes an environmental tester image 900 showing the environmental tester 2. The environmental tester image 900 is displayed in a manner that can identify where the internal components need to be identified. Further, the element requiring confirmation is highlighted in the environment tester image 900, and a message indicating the step is displayed in the vicinity of the element requiring confirmation. Accordingly, the user can easily recognize which component is confirmed in which step.

Reference is made back to fig. 4. In addition, when the matched operation history data is maintenance data, the data stored in the field of the "content" of the maintenance data (for example, "factory check") is displayed in the field of the "content". When the corresponding operation history data is the operation history data, the data (for example, "constant value operation: 25 ℃/60%") stored in the fields of "operation state" and "operation mode name" of the operation history data is displayed.

The "check" field is valid when the matching operation history data is alarm history data. In the field of "inspection", a check mark is given when the alarm corresponding to the alarm history data is an alarm intentionally issued by a maintenance worker at the time of inspection. If a check mark is given to the field of "inspection", the "new registration" button of the field of "maintenance plan/achievement" is invalid, and the maintenance data cannot be associated with the alarm. This is because it is not necessary to associate maintenance data with an alarm intentionally issued at the time of inspection.

A "new registration" button and an "edit" button are displayed in the "maintenance plan/achievement" field. When the matched operation history data is alarm history data, a check mark is not provided in the field of the "inspection" and the maintenance data is not related to the alarm history data, a "new registration" button is displayed in the field of the "maintenance plan/performance".

When the matched operation history data is alarm history data and maintenance data is associated with the alarm history data, or when the matched operation history data is maintenance data, an "edit" button is displayed in a "maintenance plan/performance" field.

The "new registration" button is a button selected when the maintenance data is associated with the alarm history data. If an operation of selecting the "new registration" button is input by the user, a maintenance registration screen G2 (fig. 5) for inputting maintenance data is displayed. By selecting the "new registration" button and inputting the maintenance data into the maintenance registration screen G2, the user can associate the alarm history data with the maintenance data, and can easily associate the two data.

The "edit" button is a button selected when editing the maintenance data associated with the alarm history data. If an operation of selecting the "edit" button is input by the user, a maintenance registration screen G2 (fig. 5) displaying maintenance data that has been registered is displayed. Accordingly, the user can correct the registered maintenance data.

Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a change in the display screen displayed on the display 34 of the terminal device 3 in the information management system shown in fig. 1. First, if an application of the information management system is started in the terminal device 3, the display control unit 32 of the terminal device 3 displays the centralized monitoring screen G5 on the display 34. Various labels for switching the screen display of the display 34 are displayed on the central monitoring screen G5. Examples of the labels include a label indicating an operation status screen (not shown) for selecting the operation status of the information management system, a label selecting the operation history screen G1, and a label selecting the maintenance list screen G4.

If an operation for selecting the tab of the operation status screen is input on the central monitoring screen G5, the operation status screen is displayed on the display 34. On the operation status screen, the operation status of the information management system is displayed by an icon or the like indicating the environment tester 2. For example, if an alarm is issued to a certain environmental tester 2, the icon of the environmental tester 2 matching the operation status screen is given an annotation mark or the like, and the user is notified of the issuance of the alarm.

If an operation to select the tab of the operation history screen G1 is input, the display control unit 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the central monitoring screen G5 to the operation history screen G1 (S1). On the other hand, if an operation to select the tab of the maintenance list screen G4 is input, the display controller 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the centralized monitoring screen G5 to the maintenance list screen G4 (S2). The centralized monitoring screen G5 is an example of an initial screen.

In the operation history screen G1, if a search condition is input in the condition input field R11 and the "display" button is clicked, the terminal device 3 transmits the search condition to the server 1, the operation history data corresponding to the search condition is transmitted from the server 1, and the display control unit 32 displays the received operation history data in the list display field R12.

When the operation of selecting one alarm history data is input by clicking the "new registration" button corresponding to one alarm history data among the alarm history data included in the operation history data displayed in the list display section R12, the display controller 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the operation history screen G1 to the maintenance registration screen G2 (S3).

When the maintenance data is input on the maintenance registration screen G2 and the "registration" button is clicked, the display control unit 32 transmits, to the server 1 via the communication unit 31, the relevant data in which the input maintenance data is associated with one alarm history data selected on the operation history screen G1 and the "device ID" of the corresponding environmental tester 2. When the server 1 receives the relevant data, the operation history database 11 is updated with the relevant data. Specifically, the control unit 12 of the server 1 adds a record line storing the maintenance data to the maintenance data table T4. At this time, the alarm ID of the associated alarm history data is stored in the "alarm ID" of the added maintenance data. Thus, the alarm history data and the maintenance data are associated with each other.

On the other hand, in the maintenance list screen G4, if the search condition is input in the condition input field R41 and the "display" button is clicked, the terminal device 3 transmits the search condition to the server 1, the maintenance data corresponding to the search condition is sent back from the server 1, and the display control unit 32 displays the received maintenance data in the list display field R42.

In the maintenance list screen G4, if the new addition button B41 is clicked, the display control unit 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the maintenance list screen G4 to the maintenance registration screen G2 (S5).

In the maintenance registration screen G2, if the "alarm select" button is clicked and an operation to select the display of the alarm history screen G3 is input, the display controller 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the maintenance registration screen G2 to the alarm history screen G3 (S4). If one of the alarm history data displayed in the alarm history screen G3 in the list is selected and the "registration" button is clicked, the display controller 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the alarm history screen G3 to the maintenance registration screen G2 (S6). Accordingly, the alarm name of the selected one of the alarm history data is displayed in the input field R24 of the maintenance registration screen G2. On the maintenance registration screen G2, if the input of maintenance data is completed and the "registration" button is clicked, the display control unit 32 transmits, to the server 1, the related data in which the alarm ID of one alarm history data is associated with the input maintenance data and the device ID of the environment testing machine 2 that matches the input maintenance data, using the communication unit 31. The server 1 that receives the relevant data updates the maintenance table T4 with the relevant data. Specifically, the control unit 12 of the server 1 adds a record line for storing the maintenance data to the maintenance table T4. At this time, the ID data of the associated alarm is stored in the alarm ID of the added maintenance data. Accordingly, the alarm history data and the maintenance data are associated with each other.

When the maintenance registration screen G2 is displayed via the operation history screen G1, if the "registration" button or the "cancel" button of the maintenance registration screen G2 is clicked, the display controller 32 switches the screen display from the maintenance registration screen G2 to the operation history screen G1 (S7).

When the maintenance registration screen G2 is displayed via the maintenance list screen G4, if the "registration" button or the "cancel" button of the maintenance registration screen G2 is clicked, the display controller 32 switches the screen display from the maintenance registration screen G2 to the maintenance list screen G4 (S8).

Next, editing of the registered maintenance data will be described with reference to fig. 8. In the maintenance list screen G4, if the "edit" link B42 corresponding to any one of the maintenance data is clicked, the display controller 32 switches the screen display from the maintenance list screen G4 to the maintenance registration screen G2 (S5). At this time, the registered data is displayed on each item of the maintenance registration screen G2 (S5). Then, on the maintenance registration screen G2, if data is rewritten for a certain item and the "registration" button is clicked, the display control unit 32 transmits the inputted maintenance data to the server 1 via the communication unit 31. If the server 1 receives the maintenance data, the server updates the corresponding record line of the maintenance table T4 with the maintenance data. Accordingly, the contents corrected on the maintenance registration screen G2 are reflected in the maintenance table T4.

In the operation history screen G1, if the "edit" button corresponding to one alarm history data is clicked, the display controller 32 switches the screen display of the display 34 from the operation history screen G1 to the maintenance registration screen G2. Thereafter, if the data of the items required on the maintenance registration screen G2 is corrected and the "registration" button is clicked, the maintenance table T4 is updated by the server 1 as described above, and the corrected contents are reflected on the maintenance table T4.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, if any one of the alarm history data included in the plurality of operation history data displayed in a list on the operation history screen G1 is selected, the maintenance registration screen G2 for inputting maintenance data corresponding to the one alarm history data is displayed. Then, the maintenance data input to the maintenance registration screen G2 is generated as related data in which one alarm history data and one environmental tester are associated with each other, and the operation history database 11 is updated with the related data. Thus, in the present embodiment, the operation of selecting one alarm history data is input from the operation history screen G1, the maintenance registration screen G2 is displayed, and the maintenance data is input from the maintenance registration screen G2, whereby the alarm history data and the maintenance data can be automatically associated with each other.

Therefore, the present embodiment can easily associate and manage the alarm history data and the maintenance data.

In the present embodiment, since the operation history data including the maintenance data, the alarm history data, and the operation history data is displayed in a time-series list on the operation history screen G1, a variety of information can be displayed. In the present embodiment, the operation history screen G1 can be limited to display operation history data relating to the specific environment testing device 2. In the present embodiment, the operation history screen G1 can display the maintenance data for each operation section in the list display section R12, and therefore, a list of the environmental testers 2 on which "a specific test" has been performed can be displayed.

In the present embodiment, since the operation history data and the alarm history data are managed together, the relationship between the operation content and the alarm information can be grasped.
