The device control unit 141 instructs the RFID control unit 148 to read the information recorded in the RFID550 (step S110). The RFID control unit 148 reads information recorded in the RFID tag 550, and transmits the read information of the RFID tag 550 to the device control unit 141. The information of the read RFID tag 550 includes a unique identifier, a liquid type, and a lifetime.
The device control unit 141 creates container related information, which is information related to the container 500 having the RFID tag 550 read, from the information of the RFID tag 550 read (step S120). Specifically, information including the unique identifier read from the RFID550, the type of liquid material, the device identification number of the device, and the information of the container housing portion 120 housing the container 500 including the read RFID550 is created as the container-related information.
The device control unit 141 controls the communication control unit 142 to transmit the container related information to the server device 300 via the communication unit 180 (step S130).
The server communication unit 310 receives the container-related information transmitted from the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 from the network 400 (step S200). The server communication control unit 302 transmits the container related information received by the server communication unit 310 to the server control unit 301.
The server control unit 301 updates the record in the container database 3031 when it is necessary to update the record based on the received container related information (step S210).
For example, regarding the container of the received container related information, when the "state" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "shipped", the "use device" and the "container storage" of the matched record of the container database 3031 become "unused", for example. Accordingly, the "using device" of the record of the symbol is updated to the device identification number of the received container association information. The "container storage unit" of the matching record is updated based on the information of the container storage unit 120 of the storage container 500 included in the received container related information. Further, the "state" of the record of the symbol is updated to "in use". By performing the processing in this way, it is not necessary to manage which liquid material discharge apparatus 100 is used when shipping the container 500, and it is possible to establish a correspondence between the container 500 and the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 later. Further, if the user (user) of the liquid discharge apparatus 100 is known, it is possible to determine which user (user) is using the container 500.
The server control unit 301 instructs the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 to perform a predetermined process based on the received container related information (step S220). Further, the server control unit 301 instructs the information processing terminal 200 to perform predetermined processing based on the received container related information, as necessary. Specifically, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction defining instruction contents for a predetermined process, and transmits the operation instruction to the liquid discharge apparatus 100 or the information processing terminal 200 via the server communication unit 310.
An example of an operation instruction generated by the server control unit 301 will be described.
(example 1) replacement of Container
Regarding the container of the received container related information, when the "state" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "no remaining amount", the device identification number of the received container related information, and the information of the container storage portion are the same as the "use device" and the "container storage portion" of the corresponding record of the container database 3031, it is determined that the container 500 is used, and the result is that there is no remaining amount. Then, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for the replacement-compatible container 500 to the liquid material discharge apparatus 100, and creates an operation instruction for prompting the display of the replacement container to the information processing terminal 200.
(example 2) warning of misinsertion of empty containers
Regarding the container of the received container related information, when the "state" of the record in the corresponding container database 3031 is "no remaining amount", the device identification number of the received container related information, and the information of the container storage portion are different from the "use device" and the "container storage portion" of the record in the corresponding container database 3031, it is determined that the container 500 in which the liquid material is empty is erroneously inserted. Then, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for replacing the corresponding container 500 to the liquid material discharge apparatus 100, creates a warning for erroneous insertion to the information processing terminal 200, and creates an operation instruction for prompting the display of the replacement container.
(example 3) replacement based on expiration of the lifetime
When the "lifetime" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 exceeds the date of the operation, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for replacing the corresponding container 500 to the liquid material discharge apparatus 100, creates a warning for the expiration of the lifetime to the information processing terminal 200, and creates an operation instruction for prompting the display of the replacement container.
(example 4) warning of erroneous insertion into a container housing portion different from the predetermined container housing portion
In the liquid discharge apparatus 100, a rotary table 110 is used. The container accommodated in the container accommodating section 120 of the turntable 110 is determined based on the liquid material set. Therefore, when the "container storing portion" of the received container related information is different from the "container storing portion" corresponding to the liquid material group of the "liquid material type" of the received container related information, it is determined that the container is erroneously inserted into the container storing portion different from the predetermined container storing portion. Then, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for changing the position of the corresponding container 500 and notifying that the container is not a corresponding commodity to the liquid material discharge apparatus 100. The server control unit 301 also generates an operation instruction to prompt the display of the position of the replacement container while giving a warning of erroneous insertion into a different position to the information processing terminal 200.
The device control unit 141 controls the communication control unit 142 to receive the operation instruction from the server device 300 via the communication unit 180 (step S150).
The device control unit 141 controls the liquid material discharge device 100 based on the received operation instruction (step S160).
The information processing terminal 200 performs processing based on the received action instruction (step S300).
In the above description, the liquid discharge apparatus 100 receives the operation instruction from the server apparatus 300 and performs the processing based on the received operation instruction, but the liquid discharge apparatus 100 may be used for the processing.
For example, after the information of the RFID tag 550 is read in step S120, the processing may be performed in step S160 based on the information.
Specific examples of the treatment will be described. The information recorded in the RFID tag 550 includes a "remaining amount" and a "lifetime".
Example 5 replacement of Container
When the "remaining amount" recorded in the RFID tag 550 is "0", the device control unit 141 operates the liquid discharge device 100 to replace the corresponding container 500.
(example 6) replacement based on expiration of the lifetime
When the "lifetime" recorded in the RFID tag 550 exceeds the date of operation, the device control unit 141 operates the liquid discharge device 100 to replace the corresponding container 500.
(example 7) warning of erroneous insertion into a container housing portion different from the predetermined container housing portion
In the liquid discharge apparatus 100, a rotary table 110 is used. The container accommodated in the container accommodating section 120 of the turntable 110 is determined based on the liquid material set. Therefore, when the container housing portion 120 in which the container 500 having the RFID tag 550 read is housed is different from the container housing portion corresponding to the liquid material group of the "liquid material type" of the RFID tag 550, it is determined that the container is erroneously inserted into the container housing portion different from the predetermined container housing portion. Then, the device control unit 141 operates the liquid material discharge device 100 to replace the position of the corresponding container 500, and notifies that the corresponding commodity is not present.
