EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12 in order to explain the above-described embodiments of the present invention in more detail. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of a component search system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration image of the component search system. Further, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for searching for a component using the component search system, and FIGS. 4 to 14 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed by the component search system of the present embodiment. .

First, the structure of the parts retrieval system of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a component search system system 1 of the present embodiment includes a system server 2 that stores component data such as image data such as an apparatus illustration and text data such as a component number, and the system. Terminals 3a, 3b ... Installed in the company that operates and manages,
Terminal 4 installed in the sales company that uses the parts search system
And a mobile terminal 5 that uses a component search system using a wireless communication device such as a mobile phone 6a are connected to each other via a communication network network 7 such as the Internet.
Further, a master computer 8 for managing orders and orders is connected to the system server 2, and the in-house terminal can update, change, delete data in the system server 2 and monitor the access status. Management terminal 3a
And a terminal 3b permitted only to use the parts search system.

Although the parts manual is stored as electronic data in the system server 2, the parts retrieval system 1 of this embodiment does not simply store the parts manual as a list of image data, Various features are provided so that parts can be identified and searched easily and quickly. The features will be described below in order.

First, the first feature of the parts retrieval system 1 of the present embodiment is that each page has the entire device layout,
It is formed by synthesizing image data consisting of a layout for each part and a layout for each part, and text data including the names and numbers of devices, parts, parts, and other additional data, and each page. Are formed in a hierarchy, and links are provided so that each hierarchy can be jumped to any hierarchy.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, an index page is provided in the uppermost hierarchy, and is configured so that the device can be selected, the part number can be searched for, and the change information can be displayed. The next layer is composed of image data such as a layout diagram of each device selected on the index page and text data such as the number and name of each part.
The next layer is composed of a layout diagram of a predetermined part, main part numbers, names, etc. Below that, the layout diagram of each main part and the number of the minimum unit (hereinafter referred to as the part number). Called)) and. Then, the user can easily specify the part number by referring to the layout diagram by sequentially selecting the device, selecting the part, and selecting the part.

The second feature is that an index (page key number) for identifying the page corresponding to each part number is provided. In general, when searching for a part number, the part number is specified by sequentially referring to the site layout and the part layout from the device layout.However, if the part number is known to some extent, it is possible to directly specify the part number. It is difficult to identify the correct part number.

This means that it is necessary to create an enormous amount of programs in order to directly link each part and an illustration corresponding to the part, and one part is used in another device. This is because the configuration becomes complicated and it is difficult to associate the part number with the illustration when the part is discontinued and is replaced by another part.

Therefore, the parts retrieval system of this embodiment is characterized by providing a number called a page key. This page key is a number that is assigned to a page that displays an illustration that includes that part for a certain part.By using this page key, the link relationship between the part number and the illustration is simplified. In addition to facilitating the creation of programs, it is possible to easily deal with the improvement of parts. The idea of paying attention to the page key number is obtained from the knowledge of the inventor of the present application, and various advantages are produced by using the page key.

For example, when a part is improved or becomes an abolished number, conventionally, it has been necessary to correct the data related to the part which is an improved or abolished number one by one. However, by using the page key number, it is only necessary to rewrite the correspondence table of each part number and page key number and replace the illustration page on which the improved parts are posted, which facilitates the data update work.

This effect is particularly important in a device in which parts are frequently improved in accordance with an improvement in the performance of the device and a general-purpose device in which many common parts are used, and a booklet-like parts manual and a list of image data are listed. In the electronic parts manual stored in memory, it is necessary to always refer to the revised data in order to check the part number, but in the parts search system of this embodiment, this part is improved and parts are shared. Can be handled very easily.

Further, by using the page key number, it is possible to easily retrieve an accurate part number from a part of the part numbers. That is, if you do not know the detailed part number, but you know part of it, you can enter only the part you know and the part number including that part will be displayed in association with the page key number. You can specify the part number by jumping to the illustration page and checking the parts.

Further, it is possible to store and display a list of changed parts and a change history. For example, a function for displaying a change list is provided on the index page, and the change information can be referred to at any stage. This function can also be easily realized by associating the part number and the page key number, and the information of each part can be easily managed by the page key number.

A third feature is that a management menu is provided for modifying the data. Conventionally, in order to be able to browse a parts catalog of a certain model on the web, it has been necessary to create a large amount of electronic data and install it in a predetermined fixed procedure, resulting in a creation error in the huge amount of data. And you have to find out the cause of the mistake, fix it and then reinstall the whole thing, which is time consuming and inefficient.

Therefore, in the parts retrieval system of the present embodiment, a management menu is provided which allows the text to be modified line by line and the illustration to be modified page by page so that only the changed parts can be changed without re-installing the whole. By providing such a management menu, it is possible to easily correct the part number and additionally register it.

The fourth characteristic is that each part is classified and displayed. That is, each part has a different usage frequency and importance, and it is necessary for each sales company and agent to keep an inventory of parts that are frequently used and parts that are highly important. In the past, such classification was not done, so even if you can search for a part number, when you order it, there is no inventory and it takes time for maintenance and inspection, so you may not be satisfied with the user. there were. Therefore, in the parts search system of this embodiment, data such as order history and search history is accumulated and classified into classes, and the class is also displayed when displaying the parts data, which is convenient for inventory management. .

An example of a procedure for searching for a part using the part search system 1 having various characteristics as described above will be described.
This will be specifically described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the display examples of FIGS. 4 to 14. Note that the following description shows a simplified link configuration and image display example for easy understanding, but the content to be displayed and the link configuration may be appropriately changed depending on the configuration of symmetrical devices and parts. Can be changed.

First, in step S101 of FIG.
In-house terminals 3a and 3b, in-house terminals 4 and mobile terminals 5
When the component search system of this embodiment is executed and the system server 2 is connected through the communication network 7 as above, an index page as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed (see step S102). In this index page, for example, the devices handled by the parts search system 1 are classified by model, and a model can be selected from each model by a pull-down menu 9. Also, if you know the part number of the part you are investigating, or if you do not know all the digits, but if you can narrow down to a certain degree, the corresponding screen of the part number including that number and the page key will be displayed. It has become so. In addition, a list of revisions of the part number (P / N changing List: list of change information within a predetermined period, Revised P / N List: list of all change information) can be browsed so that the status of change of parts can be identified. Has become.

Next, in step S103, when selecting the method of narrowing down the part numbers sequentially from the device in step S103, when a predetermined device is selected from the devices displayed on the index page in step S104, As shown in FIG. 5, an illustration in which the outline of the device is described, and a correspondence table of the names and model numbers of the main body and options that configure the device are displayed (step S105). The link from the layout of this device to the options is very convenient in the present situation where one option can be attached to multiple main bodies. When selecting a different device, clicking the index button returns to the previous screen.

Then, for example, when the main body is selected (step S106), as shown in FIG. 6, an illustration of the main body in which the arrangement configuration of the main parts is described, a part number, a name and the parts are displayed. The correspondence table with the page numbers and the like is displayed (step S107). Note that you can select SystemOu to select different parts (eg other options).
Clicking the arrow mark on the tline will display other parts in sequence, and clicking the index button will return you to the index page.

Then, the parts are narrowed down and selected from the numbers described in the illustration (step S10).
8) As shown in FIG. 7, an illustration of the detailed structure of the part is displayed, and when the content button is clicked, the part number, name, shipping unit, class, destination, P /
A correspondence table of I, price, order, etc. is displayed (step S10).
9), the part numbers of necessary parts can be known from this correspondence table. When the key number in the illustration is clicked, the part number, class, shipping unit, name, destination, P / I, price, and order of the part are displayed as shown in FIG. Further, each page of this hierarchy is provided with a navigation window 10 as shown in FIG. 8, and the user can conf to view illustrations of different parts one by one.
You don't have to press the iguration button to return to the previous screen,
If you select a part in the window, you can jump to the illustration of that part, you can easily move between layers or data, and improve operability.

The class shown here is a section set on the basis of the importance of the part, the frequency of use, etc. By displaying this class, the attribute of the desired part can be known. Further, since the price column in FIGS. 7 and 8 is the most important item, for example, it should be displayed only when the sales manager of each sales company accesses it, and should not be viewed by general people. Is preferred. Further, it is preferable that the user clicks the button in the order column to jump to the order menu screen. Also on this page, you can click the Configuration arrow to display different components, and click the corresponding buttons to return to the System Outline and Index in the upper hierarchy.

In this way, by making the part data into a hierarchical structure of the entire device, parts, parts, etc., the user can specify the part number by sequentially linking from the device type, and simply specify the parts catalog as image data. Compared to the method of importing as a list, you can easily and quickly know the part number.

Further, in the parts retrieval system 1 of the present embodiment, not only the parts are sequentially specified by the above-mentioned method, but also an accurate part number can be searched from a certain number of parts number information. For example, in the index page of FIG. 4, an item called a parts index is provided and a part of the part number information, for example,
Assuming that the part number is composed of 8 digits and alphabets, when you input the value of any digit in it, the correspondence table of the related part number and page key is displayed. .

Specifically, in step S110,
On the page where the illustration of the part is displayed, select the item of the parts index and click the known number (for example,
The upper 4 digits of the 8 digit part number, here "
20AA "), only the list of part numbers including the number and the corresponding page key number are displayed (step S111). The user clicks the key number linked to the illustration page. It is possible to browse the illustration page including the relevant part and specify the part (step S112).

This function is effective in the following situations. For example, an experienced service technician remembers part numbers to some extent, and it takes time to specify a part number if the detailed parts are narrowed down sequentially from the selection of the device. A list of part numbers is displayed by inputting, and the part number can be specified earlier by jumping to the page corresponding to the page key and performing a search.

Further, in the case of a common part in which the corresponding part is also shared by other devices, a plurality of page keys are displayed in the page key column as shown in FIG. It is possible to easily know whether or not the parts are shared and where the other parts are shared, and it is possible to broaden the search range by specifying other parts from the illustration page. That is, in the conventional system, the pages from the device to the parts are simply listed, but in the present embodiment, not only the vertical hierarchy is expanded in the same device but also other devices, that is, the horizontal direction. Since it can be expanded in any direction and can be expanded in all directions, complicated searches can be performed quickly as the user gets used to it.

The structure that enables such vertical and horizontal expansion is realized by using the above-mentioned page key. That is, in a system in which a part number and an illustration are directly associated with each other, it is difficult to display another device or part in which the common part is used from the part number of the common part. In the system, since the part number and the illustration are linked via the page key, such lateral development can be easily realized.

Further, in the parts retrieval system of this embodiment,
A function for storing change information and displaying a list of the change information is provided so that the content of the change due to the improvement or abolition of parts can be easily acquired. For example, as shown in step S113 and FIG. 10, in the index page, P / N
If you click the Changing List button and select the output of the change information list, the number of parts changed within a predetermined period, the date of change, the old number, the new number, the class classification, the name, the page key number, etc. will be displayed. Displayed, the user can easily confirm the contents of the changed part data by referring to this table (step S
114). When the Revised P / N List button is clicked, past collective information is displayed as shown in FIG. 11, and the user can also refer to this table to confirm past changes.

Incidentally, the technical reason, background, etc. may be described in the part change information, and by adding such information, the reason for the change can be accurately grasped. Further, by displaying the page key number on the change information list, the change information and the changed part can be associated with each other, and the searchability can be improved.

Further, in the parts retrieval system of this embodiment,
To make it easy to update, modify, and delete part data,
A parts catalog management menu as shown in FIG. 12 is provided. This management menu is for changing the data in the system server 2 and is managed with an ID and a password so that unintended tampering is not performed, and only with a predetermined terminal, for example, the management terminal 3a shown in FIG. It is preferably set so that it can be used.

In this parts catalog management menu, for example, model setting, option setting, model name setting, text data and image data setting, parts catalog deletion, etc. can be performed. When you select "/ image setting", the screen as shown in Fig. 13 will be displayed. Enter the part number, class classification, shipping unit, name, etc., and click the Add button to add an image data file such as GIF file or JPEG file. Data can be corrected by designating a text data file such as HTML or HTML. By providing such a management menu, it becomes possible to promptly deal with improvement of parts and the like.

Further, when "5. Download file update" is selected in FIG. 12, a screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed, and the download file, comment, revision list,
By inputting image data, text data, parts index, etc. and clicking the update button, the download file can be updated as appropriate.

Further, the parts list of the electronic parts catalog is configured such that the parts number of the corresponding parts is automatically changed according to design change information or the like.
When a new product is first released, a set of parts at that time is registered in the ordering master computer 8 (see FIG. 1) that receives orders, orders, and the like, and this part search system on the web. And if a design change is made after that,
The following processing is performed.

For example, when the manufacturer of the component 1 is changed from A company to B company, the part number is 12AB1000 to 1
When 2AB1001 and 12AB1000 are out of stock, the part number on the master computer 8 is 1.
It is changed to 2AB1001. Since the parts list of the parts search system is linked to the list on the master computer 8, the part number is also changed to 12AB1001 on the parts search system at the point of. In this case, the P / I is not issued because it is not a large change.

Further, for example, if the plate thickness of a certain component is increased, the reliability is improved.
The part numbers are changed from 12AB1010 to 12AB1011. 12AB1011 is registered on the master computer 8 and ordered to the subcontractor. Also, 12AB1011
At the time of delivery of P / I (P2000101
A) is issued and the parts search system is linked to the P / I database, so the part number is also changed to 12AB1011 on the parts search system.

As described above, since the data on this parts retrieval system is always updated to the latest version,
When an order is placed from a sales company using this parts search system, a major feature is that no order error such as a part number mismatch occurs.

Further, the parts retrieval system is classified into each hierarchy such as the outline image of the device and the outline image of the part, and further, by interposing the page key between the part number and the part data, the data can be easily edited. In addition to, it is possible to jump to other parts that are using the shared part,
The parts can be searched quickly.

In the above description, the parts-related information is displayed in Japanese or English, but it corresponds to other languages such as German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Thai, etc. It is also possible to execute automatic translation software on the client side terminal and perform input / output in a desired language.

In this embodiment, the system used for searching the parts is described, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the configuration is large, such as the number of data points is large and shared data exists. It can be applied to any system that retrieves specific data from complicated data.

[0066]

As described above, the parts retrieval system and the parts retrieval method of the present invention have the following effects.

The first effect of the present invention is that each page is composed of image data such as device illustrations and parts illustrations and text data such as numbers and names, and each hierarchy is divided into categories and linked to each hierarchy. This means that the part number of a specific part can be searched quickly.

The second effect of the present invention is that by providing a page key indicating the position information of an illustration including a predetermined part and using the page key to associate the part number with the position of the illustration, the inter-device This means that the search can be facilitated and the correspondence with the change information of the parts is possible.

The third effect of the present invention is that by ranking the parts by referring to the order and search history information, the characteristics of the parts can be grasped and the inventory management of the parts is easy. It means that
