DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention accumulates a series of operation procedure contents including a series of operation procedures at the time of simulation and a simulation result, and retrieves the accumulated series of operation procedure contents at the time of subsequent simulation.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a simulation system for performing education and training of an operator by performing a simulation. In such a simulation system, since many workers perform a simulation, work cases operated by the workers in the simulation process can be accumulated, and the accumulated work cases can be used.

For example, a plant operation support system described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-268745 discloses an operation error and an accident event when an operator operates a driving training simulator, and an operation corresponding to a predefined accident. And from
Data obtained at the time of operation training is effectively used at the time of operation of the actual plant by creating a scenario of a measure that can be applied at the time of erroneous operation at the actual plant.

[0004] Specifically, this plant operation support system is achieved by a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, when the operator performs a simulation using the driving training simulator 101, the driving operation information operated during the simulation is obtained by the input device 102, and the accident event detection device 103 detects the accident event that occurred during the simulation. . When the accident event detection device 103 detects an accident event, the erroneous operation detection device 104 compares the driving operation information at this time with the corresponding operation information corresponding to the accident event defined in the accident response operation database device 105 in advance. Then, the comparison result is registered in the erroneous operation scenario database device 106 as erroneous operation information by the operator.

[0005] During operation of the actual plant 107, the plant accident event detection device 108 detects an accident event occurring in the actual plant 107, and the erroneous operation scenario search device 111
When the detection of the accident event is received, erroneous operation information corresponding to the accident event registered in the erroneous operation scenario database device 106 is searched, and the search result is transmitted via the erroneous operation scenario display device 109 to the CRT 110 in the actual plant 107. The driver can perform a reliable operation while avoiding an erroneous operation with reference to the displayed and output erroneous operation information. As a result, the erroneous operation information for the accident event at the time of the simulation is effectively used, and the actual plant operation is supported.

The work process using this simulation system can be regarded as a repetition of the following processes (1) to (4). (1) Process of evaluating the current situation (2) Process of performing preparatory work such as collecting necessary information before executing the next important operation (3) Referencing and evaluating the result of preparatory work Process (4) This is a process for performing important operations.

The "important operation" in the case of the simulation of financial transaction relations is the buying and selling of goods and the like, and the "preparation work" is the investigation of price fluctuations and various trends. The operation log database unit 31 accumulates the work logs sequentially acquired from the operation record processing unit 15 as operation logs respectively corresponding to the above-described series of processes (1) to (4).

Therefore, the operation log database unit 31
An operation log is stored in correspondence with the above-described series of processes (1) to (4). FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a storage form of operation logs stored in the operation log database unit 31. In FIG. 2, a situation evaluation D1 is an operation log corresponding to the above-described process (1), and includes an overall evaluation of selling and buying, information of participants, and a situation diagram.

The classification process is performed by dividing the data in each cycle up to. In this case, the similarity evaluation processing unit 35 searches the operation log stored in the classification result database unit 34 on the basis of comprehensive selling and buying, similarity of products and companies, and commonality of operation records. Will do.

Note that the terminal device 10 can be configured as a plurality of terminal devices, and each terminal device is individually connected to the arithmetic device 20 and the procedure management device 30, respectively.
Such a plurality of terminal devices is used because the simulation system is applied to the simulation of financial transactions, so that a plurality of workers often participate in the simulation.

Since it is sufficient that a plurality of operators can simulate, a plurality of operation input units 12 and display units 13 may be provided. The terminal device 10, the arithmetic device 20, and the procedure management device may be connected via a network. Further, in FIG.
Terminal device 10, arithmetic device 20, and procedure management device 30

Since the information on what simulation results were obtained can be referred to, through this simulation process, useful operation procedures according to the situation can be learned, and this operation procedure can be shared among operators. Thus, an efficient simulation system is constructed.

Embodiment 2 Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, in the procedure management device 30, the classification processing unit 33 classifies the operation logs of the operation log database unit 31 based on a predetermined classification criterion and information of the target knowledge database unit 32, and Although stored in the classification result database unit 34, in the second embodiment, instead of classifying operation logs, a rule of a generalized description of the operation log is generated, and the generated rule is stored.

The rule processing section 53 generates a generalized description rule using the information stored in the target knowledge database section 32 for the operation logs stored in the operation log database section 31. For example, if the operation content of the operation log is “purchase B (quantity) shares of company A”, the rule processing unit 53 is stored in the target knowledge database unit 32. Based on the information of the type of business: electricity, the generalized rule of "{industry: purchase B shares (quantity) of shares of electric) is generated as an operation to purchase shares of an electric company.

The rule processing section 53 stores the generated rules in the rule database section 54, and the rule database section 54 stores the generalized rules.

When the operator inputs a viewpoint to which the operator wants to refer to the operation as a search condition via the operation input unit 12, the search condition setting processing unit 60 converts the search condition into the similarity evaluation processing unit 3.
Set to 5. The similarity evaluation processing unit 35 in which the search conditions are set searches for operation logs in the classification result database unit 34 that are similar to the set search conditions and are similar, and sends the search results to the reference log display processing unit 16. I do. And
The reference log display processing unit 16 displays the transmitted operation log on the display screen of the display unit 13 as a reference log.

The search conditions to be set include, for example,
"Operation log related to the electric industry", "Operation log related to the overall evaluation during the buying phase", "Operation log related to the product A"
By setting these search conditions in the similarity evaluation processing unit 35 using the search condition setting processing unit 60, only operation logs that include information that matches these search conditions are searched, and the operator can select Can refer to only the work log. If no search condition is set, the similarity evaluation processing unit 35 searches the classification result database unit 34 for a similar operation log according to the default search condition.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the search condition setting processor 6 is provided in the terminal processor 11 of the first embodiment shown in FIG.
Although 0 is provided, similarly, a search condition setting processing unit 60 may be provided in the terminal processing unit 11 of the second embodiment shown in FIG.

According to the third embodiment, the same operation and effect as those of the first and second embodiments can be obtained, and a viewpoint which an operator wants to refer to or is interested in can be set as a search condition.

This additional information is information such as the name of the operation log, the purpose of the operation, the purpose of the operation, and the like. Of course, even after the end of a series of operation procedures, it can be started at any time to add additional information to a desired operation log.

Further, additional information can be added to the operation logs classified and stored in the classification result database unit 34. However, if additional information is added to the operation log corresponding to the contents of the series of operation procedures after the end of the series of operation procedures, the additional information is added to the operation log in the classification result database unit 34 as it is. ing.

The operation log search processing section 72 searches for an operation log using the additional information added by the operation log editing processing section 71.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a simulation system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, this simulation system
Three terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3 having the same configuration as the terminal device 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are provided, and are connected to the arithmetic device 20 and the procedure management device 30, respectively. Only the operation processing of the operation log database unit 81 and the similarity evaluation processing unit 83 in the procedure management device 30 is different from that of the operation log database unit 31 and the similarity evaluation processing unit 35 in the first embodiment. This is the same as Embodiment 1, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

The operation log database section 81 has a storage unit processing section 82. When storing the operation logs sequentially acquired from the plurality of terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3 as operation logs, the storage unit processing unit 82 collects the plurality of operation logs in the same time unit and Are stored in the same storage area. This operation log group includes operation logs generated in the plurality of terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3.

However, in the sixth embodiment, the operation log database unit 31 generates data in each terminal device on the assumption that a plurality of terminal devices exist. When time information is added to the operation log and stored, and a similar operation log that is helpful to the worker is searched and presented to each terminal device, the time indicated by the time information of the searched operation log is centered. All the operation logs within a predetermined time are acquired and sent to the terminal device.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a simulation system according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 9, this simulation system
Three terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3 having the same configuration as the terminal device 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are provided, and are connected to the arithmetic device 20 and the procedure management device 30, respectively. Only the operation processing of the operation log database unit 85 and the similarity evaluation processing unit 87 in the procedure management device 30 is different from that of the operation log database unit 31 and the similarity evaluation processing unit 35 in the first embodiment. This is the same as Embodiment 1, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

The operation log database unit 85 has a time information adding unit 86. When storing the operation logs sequentially acquired from the plurality of terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3 as operation logs, the time information addition unit 86 adds time information indicating the time to store to each operation log and stores the operation logs.

FIG. 10 is a time chart of operation logs corresponding to the terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3 sequentially acquired by the operation log database unit 81. In FIG. 10, operators A to C perform simulation operations on terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3, respectively, and operation logs D31, D32, D41 to D4 of terminal devices 10-1 to 10-3, respectively.
4. As described above, D51 and D52 are composed of a series of operation procedures consisting of situation evaluation → operation record → operation result → important operation record, and this is repeated. The time information adding unit 86 adds the important operation times of these operation logs as time information. The classification processing unit 33 acquires each operation log from the operation log database unit 85, classifies each operation log based on the information of the target knowledge database unit 32, and stores it in the classification result database unit 34.

The similarity evaluation processing section 87 monitors the work log in each operation record processing section 15 and searches the classification result database section 34 for an operation log similar to this work log.
The time information of the searched operation log is acquired, and all the operation logs performed in the time period before and after the important operation time indicated by the time information are acquired from the operation log database unit 85, and the acquired information is acquired. The operation log group is sent to the reference log display processing unit 16 of the corresponding terminal device. This operation log group is displayed on the display unit 13 using time information by the reference log display processing unit 16.

For example, when the operation log is stored with the lapse of time shown in FIG. 10 and the operation log D51 is retrieved as a similar operation log by the similarity evaluation processing unit 87, the similarity evaluation processing unit 87 The important operation time X11 indicated by the time information within the time t11 is obtained, and the time t0 is calculated from the time X10 which is traced back to the time t0 based on the time X11.
The operation log D31 performed up to the time X12 when the time has fallen,
D32, D41 to D43, D51, and D52 are acquired from the operation log database unit 85, and these operation logs are sent to the reference log display processing unit 16.

Note that the display using the time information by the reference log display processing unit 16 includes displaying and outputting in time series. Further, the similarity evaluation processing unit 83 may identify a similar operation log and another operation log and transmit the same to the reference log display processing unit 16.

The similarity evaluation processing section 83 searches the operation log database section 85 for all operation logs within a predetermined search time range centered on the important operation times of the operation logs searched as similar, and acquires them. However, the search time width can be arbitrarily set and changed, and a configuration for setting the search time width may be provided. In addition, it goes without saying that this search time width may be set to search for operation logs only after the important operation time or only before the important operation time.

According to the sixth embodiment, when the time information adding unit 86 adds the important operation time as time information to each operation log and stores it, and the similarity evaluation processing unit 83 searches for a similar operation log, Since all the operation logs within a predetermined search time range centered on the important operation time of the operation log of the search result are sent to the terminal device side, the operator can perform a series of operations performed by himself / herself. It is possible to refer not only to the operation log similar to the procedure contents, but also to the operation procedure contents of other workers in the time period near the time when the operation of this similar operation log was performed. Next, an optimal operation selection can be performed in consideration of a prediction of what operation can be performed, and this has a great effect particularly on a strategy simulation system such as an economic strategy.

Further, according to the sixth embodiment, since all operation logs in the time zone near the operation log searched as similar can be obtained, the operation is referred to from a time-series viewpoint. This makes it possible to select a more effective operation procedure and sufficiently achieve the original purpose of the simulation such as acquisition of knowledge.

Let it. The function of the temporary execution processing unit 90 is essentially the same as the function of the arithmetic processing unit 21, except that the simulation is virtually performed in the terminal device before the actual simulation is performed.

According to the sixth embodiment, since the virtual simulation is performed before the actual simulation by using the temporary execution processing unit 90 in the terminal device, other operations assumed before the actual simulation are performed. It is possible to obtain a simulation result that can be assumed by a user or a simulation result, and to support decision-making that enables selection of a more effective operation procedure.
