  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the product design which considered the conformity about a standard can be supported.

Hereinafter, a product design support system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a product design support system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The product design support system includes a design person terminal 1, an authorization acquisition person terminal 2, and a design support server 3, which are connected to a network 10. The network 10 includes various networks such as the Internet, a LAN, a WAN, a public line, and a dedicated line.

  The designer terminal 1 is, for example, a terminal operated by a product designer, and includes a computer including a control unit, a storage unit, a display unit, an input unit, a communication control unit, and the like. For example, the control unit of the designer terminal 1 connects to the design support server 3 via the network 10 by reading and executing an operation program or the like stored in advance in the storage unit, and is necessary for the product to be designed. Processing to acquire and output information on standards, etc., processing to acquire and output confirmation results as to whether product specifications conform to the standards, etc.

  The authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2 is, for example, a terminal that is operated by an authorization acquisition person in charge of various standards, and includes a computer including a control unit, a storage unit, a display unit, an input unit, a communication control unit, and the like. The control unit of the authorization acquisition person-in-charge terminal 2 is connected to the design support server 3 via the network 10 by reading and executing an operation program or the like stored in advance in the storage unit, and is registered in the design support server 3 A process for acquiring and outputting an authorization acquisition request, a process for registering an authorization acquisition result in the design support server 3, and the like are performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the design support server 3 includes a computer including a storage unit 31, a control unit 32, a communication control unit 33, and the like.

The storage unit 31 is composed of, for example, a hard disk device. The storage unit 31 stores an operation program to be executed by the control unit 32 and various data necessary for processing. The storage unit 31 includes a standard information DB 31A, a standard test information DB 31B, and an authorization acquisition application DB 31C.
The standard information 31A includes, for example, various standards such as safety standards, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) standards, communication standards, and laser standards, standard codes, standard numbers, and standard names corresponding to each sales region and each product type. Etc. (hereinafter referred to as standard information) is stored. Of the standard tables stored in the standard information 31A, an example of a safety standard table is shown in FIG. 3, and an example of an EMC standard table is shown in FIG.
The standard test information 31B stores standard test information indicating predetermined items (test items, detailed test contents, acceptance criteria, etc.) related to tests necessary for the standard for each standard information.
The authorization acquisition application DB 31 </ b> C stores authorization acquisition request information for a design person or the like to request the authorization person in charge to obtain a standard approval.

  The control unit 32 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and controls the entire design support server 3. The control unit 32 reads and executes an operation program or the like stored in advance in the storage unit 31 to thereby execute a standard information providing unit 321, a standard conformity confirmation unit 322, an authorization acquisition request registration unit 323, an authorization acquisition processing unit 324, and the like. Is logically realized.

  The standard information providing unit 321 responds to a predetermined request (basic information input request) from the designer terminal 1 by, for example, a designer (creator), product type, sales area, and power input as shown in FIG. An input screen (basic information input screen) having predetermined input items such as the presence / absence of a laser mechanism and the presence / absence of a communication function is generated and transmitted. When a predetermined request (standard information provision request) is received together with input data (basic information) to the basic information input screen, the standard information corresponding to the predetermined information (sales area, product type, etc.) in the received basic information Each standard table in the DB 31A is read, and standard test information corresponding to the standard information is read from the standard test information DB 31B. For example, for the communication standard, when the communication function is set to “present” in the received basic information, the predetermined information (sales area, product) in the basic information is obtained from the standard table (not shown) of the communication standard. Standard information corresponding to the type) is read out. The same applies to the laser standard. When the laser mechanism is set to “present” in the received basic information, the predetermined information (sales area, product type) in the basic information is read from the laser standard table (not shown). Etc.) is read out.

  Next, the standard information providing unit 321 displays part of the received basic information (basic specifications) and standard test information corresponding to each standard information read from the standard information DB 31A and each standard information of the standard test information DB 31B. A display screen (standard information display screen) to be generated is generated and transmitted to the designer terminal 1. An example of the standard information display screen is shown in FIG. In addition, the standard information providing unit 321 generates a reception ID in response to, for example, reception of basic information, and reads out from the standard information DB 31A and the standard test information DB 31B based on the generated reception ID, basic information, and basic information. Each standard information and standard test information corresponding to each standard information are associated and stored in the storage unit 31. Further, for example, the reception ID may be given to transmission / reception data exchanged with the designer terminal 1 after the generation of the reception ID.

  When the standard conformity confirmation unit 322 receives a predetermined request (detailed specification input request) transmitted from the design engineer terminal 1 in response to pressing of a predetermined button on the standard information display screen (see FIG. 6), for example, the standard conformity confirmation unit 322 first inputs the request. In addition to displaying a part of the basic information (basic specifications) and the information of the designer, for example, brand name (producer name), model name, model code, power supply rating, test actual value data (test result, actual measurement) An input screen (detailed specification input screen) having a predetermined input item such as a value is generated and transmitted. An example of the detailed specification input screen is shown in FIG. Then, when a predetermined request (confirmation result provision request) is received together with input data (detailed specification information) to the detailed specification input screen, for example, it corresponds from the standard test information DB 31B using the reception ID given to the received request as a key. The standard test information is read out, and the value of the test actual value data included in the received detailed specification information is compared with the acceptance standard in the standard test information to determine whether the acceptance standard is satisfied. For example, regarding the test item “capacitance discharge” (details of the test: the time when the voltage decays from the peak value to 37% of the peak value when the power supply outside the device is shut off), the acceptance criterion is “1 second or less” When the value of “capacitance discharge” in the received test actual measurement value data is “0.65 seconds”, the test is performed because “1 ≧ 0.65”. The measured value data is determined to satisfy the acceptance criteria.

Next, the standard conformity confirmation unit 322 determines, based on the determination result for each test, for each standard whether the test actual measurement data satisfies the acceptance criteria for all tests necessary for obtaining the approval of the standard. A display screen (conformance confirmation result screen) for displaying the result as the conformity confirmation result of each standard is generated and transmitted to the designer terminal 1. An example of the compatibility confirmation result screen is shown in FIG. In addition, on the conformity confirmation result screen, the judgment result of each test in each standard is also displayed. In addition, in the generation of the conformity confirmation result screen, if all the test actual measurement data for all standards satisfy the acceptance criteria, a button for requesting approval (authorization acquisition request button) is generated to include on the screen. . When there is test actual measurement data that does not satisfy the acceptance criteria, an end button or the like may be generated so as to be included on the screen.
In addition, the standard conformity confirmation unit 322 receives input data (detailed specification information) to the detailed specification input screen received from the designer terminal 1 and information such as the determination result of each test and the conformity confirmation result of each standard. The data is stored in the storage unit 31 in association with the reception ID attached to the transmission / reception data with the designer terminal 1.

  The authorization acquisition request registration unit 323 receives a request (authorization acquisition request input request) transmitted from the design engineer terminal 1 in response to pressing of the authorization acquisition request button on the compatibility confirmation result screen (see FIG. 8). Then, while displaying a part of the basic information (basic specifications) entered earlier, for example, the desired date of acquisition, document number, request section (request department), acquisition standard (standard for the acquisition request), An input screen (authorization acquisition request input screen) having input items such as technical data is generated and transmitted. An example of the authorization acquisition request input screen is shown in FIG. The technical data may be input directly by inputting various data. Also, enter the file name of the data file that stores the technical data, and attach the data file to the input data on the input screen. You may make it transmit. When a predetermined request (authorization acquisition request registration request) is received together with the input data to the authorization acquisition request input screen, the authorization acquisition request registration unit 323 transmits the received data (authorization acquisition request information) to the designer terminal 1. The authorization ID is stored in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C in association with the reception ID attached to the transmission / reception data.

  In response to a predetermined request (authorization acquisition request information request) from the authorization acquisition person-in-charge terminal 2, the authorization acquisition processing unit 324 reads, for example, the authorization acquisition request information registered in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C and displays a list thereof. Display and generate a screen for accepting the selection input of the authorization acquisition request information and send it, and receive input data for this. Then, based on the received data, the selected authorization acquisition request information is read from the authorization acquisition application DB 31C, and the read authorization acquisition request information is transmitted to the design engineer terminal 1.

  In addition, the authorization acquisition processing unit 324 displays, for example, a list of authorization acquisition request information registered in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C in response to a predetermined request (authorization acquisition result input request) from the authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2 Then, a screen for accepting selection input of the authorization acquisition request information to be processed is generated and transmitted, and input data for the screen is received. For example, various information such as a brand name, model name, and model code acquired from the corresponding detailed specification information in the standard information DB 31A is displayed using the reception ID associated with the previously selected authorization acquisition request information as a key. In addition, the person in charge (authorization supervisor), the completion date (for example, the date when the approval of all standards has been acquired), the document number, the acquisition standard information (the approval number for each standard, the date of approval acquisition, the person in charge of obtaining the approval, etc.) ) And an input screen (authorization acquisition result input screen) having input items related to the acquisition of authorization is generated and transmitted to the terminal 2 in charge of authorization acquisition. An example of the authorization acquisition result input screen is shown in FIG. When a predetermined request (authorization acquisition result registration request) is received from the authorization acquisition person-in-charge terminal 2 together with input data (authorization acquisition result information) to the authorization acquisition result input screen, the received authorization acquisition result information is selected first. And stored in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C in association with the reception ID associated with the acquired authorization acquisition request information. Further, for example, using the reception ID as a key, the basic information in the standard information DB 31A is searched, and a process of notifying that the approval of the standard has been acquired to the person in charge of design set in the corresponding basic information is performed. The content of this notification process is arbitrary. For example, an e-mail indicating that the approval of the standard has been acquired may be transmitted to the e-mail address of the design engineer registered in the storage unit 31. When the person accesses the design support server 3, a display indicating that the approval of the standard has been acquired may be performed. In addition, when “confirmation of authorization acquisition status” or the like is selected from a predetermined processing menu, a part or all of a list of authorization acquisition request information on a case where authorization has been acquired may be displayed.

  The communication control unit 33 is for performing data communication with other computer devices via the network 10.

  Next, in the product design support system according to the present embodiment, the design support server 3 provides the design staff terminal 1 with the standard information of the product to be designed, checks the standard conformity, and confirms the conformity. After that, a process for registering an authorization acquisition request in a predetermined DB (standard conformity confirmation process) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

For example, the design engineer terminal 1 accesses the design support server 3 according to the input operation of the design engineer, and the design engineer selects “standard conformity confirmation processing” from the processing menu supplied from the design support server 3. Assume that the design person in charge terminal 1 transmits a basic information input request to the design support server 3 in response to the input.
When the design support server 3 receives a basic information input request from the design engineer terminal 1 (step S1), the design support server 3 generates a basic information input screen (see FIG. 5) and transmits it to the design engineer terminal 1 (step S2). . The design engineer terminal 1 receives and displays data on the basic information input screen from the design support server 3, accepts input by the design engineer, and responds to pressing of a predetermined button on the screen, The input data and the standard information provision request are transmitted to the design support server 3.

  When the design support server 3 receives the input data (basic information) and the standard information provision request from the design engineer terminal 1 (step S3), the standard information corresponding to the received basic information and the standard corresponding to the standard information Test information is read out from the standard information DB 31A and the standard test information DB 31B (step S4). Then, a standard information display screen (see FIG. 6) for displaying the read standard information and standard test information is generated and transmitted to the designer terminal 1 (step S5). The design engineer terminal 1 receives and displays the data of the standard information display screen from the design support server 3, and transmits a detailed specification input request to the design support server 3 in response to pressing of a predetermined button on the screen.

  When the design support server 3 receives the detailed specification input request from the design engineer terminal 1 (step S6), the design support server 3 generates a detailed specification input screen (see FIG. 7) and transmits it to the design engineer terminal 1 (step S7). . The design engineer terminal 1 receives and displays the data of the detailed specification input screen from the design support server 3, receives the input by the design engineer, and responds to the pressing of a predetermined button on the screen, and the detailed specification input screen The input data and the confirmation result provision request are transmitted to the design support server 3.

  When the design support server 3 receives the input data (detailed specification information) and the result confirmation request from the design engineer terminal 1 (step S8), the test actual measurement data in the received detailed specification information becomes the acceptance criteria in the standard test information. And a process for determining whether or not the acceptance criteria are satisfied is performed for each standard (step S9). Then, it is determined whether all test actual measurement data satisfy the acceptance criteria for all standards, that is, whether the product specifications conform to all the standards. If all the standards conform to all the standards (step S10: YES), A conformity confirmation result screen (see FIG. 8) for displaying the effect is generated and transmitted to the designer terminal 1 (step S11). The design engineer terminal 1 displays the received conformity check result screen, and transmits an authorization acquisition request input request to the design support server 3 in response to pressing of the authorization acquisition registration request button on the screen.

When the design support server 3 receives the authorization acquisition request input request from the designer terminal 1 (step S12), the design support server 3 generates an authorization acquisition request input screen (see FIG. 9) and transmits it to the designer terminal 1 (step S12). S13). The design engineer terminal 1 receives and displays the data of the authorization acquisition request input screen from the design support server 3, receives the input by the designer, and responds to pressing of a predetermined button on the screen in response to the authorization acquisition request. The input data to the input screen and the authorization acquisition request registration request are transmitted to the design support server 3.
When the design support server 3 receives the input data (authorization acquisition request information) and the authorization acquisition request registration request from the designer terminal 1 (step S14), it registers the received authorization acquisition request information in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C (step S14). Step S15).

  In addition, when there is test actual measurement data that does not satisfy the acceptance criteria for any of the standards, that is, when there is a standard that does not conform (step S10: NO), the design support server 3 displays a conformity confirmation result indicating that fact. A screen is generated and transmitted to the designer terminal 1 (step S16). The design engineer terminal 1 displays the received conformity confirmation result screen, for example, transmits a message to that effect to the design support server 3 in response to pressing of an end button or the like on the screen, and the end screen from the design support server 3 Etc. are received and displayed.

  As a result of the above processing, the authorization acquisition request information for requesting the acquisition of the standard authorization is registered in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C. The authorization acquisition request information registered in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C is acquired and output by the authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2. Based on the authorization acquisition request information output to the authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2, the authorization acquisition person in charge performs a predetermined procedure for obtaining the approval of the standard, and after obtaining the authorization, the authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2 is used. The authorization acquisition result information is registered in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C. In response to this registration, the design support server 3 performs a process of notifying the person who has requested acquisition of the standard authorization that the authorization has been obtained.

  As described above, according to the present invention, standard information suitable for a product to be developed can be provided to the designer terminal 1 based on basic information such as a product sales area and product type. In addition, in order to provide the design engineer terminal 1 with information related to the test necessary for obtaining the approval for the standard, the design engineer must provide the test information necessary for obtaining the approval of the standard (test items, test contents, acceptance criteria, etc.) Can be easily known. Moreover, it is judged whether the specification of the product conforms to the standard by inputting the test actual value data, and determining whether the test actual value data satisfies the acceptance criteria of the standard, and the determination result is sent to the designer terminal 1. In order to supply, the person in charge of design can know whether the product specifications conform to the standard to be acquired. In addition, when it is confirmed that the product specification conforms to the standard, registration of the authorization acquisition request information to the DB can be performed as a series of processes, so that the work efficiency regarding the authorization acquisition is improved. Further, when information indicating that the authorization has been acquired is registered, it can be fed back to the person in charge, so that the work efficiency related to obtaining the authorization is improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible.
For example, in the above description, the design support server 3 extracts a standard corresponding to the input product specification and confirms conformity with the standard. Also good. Specifically, for example, the designer may select a standard on the standard information display screen. In this case, the standard information providing unit 321 selects the standard together with the standard information of each standard, for example. Button, check box, etc., or input field for directly entering standard information (standard code, standard number, etc.), etc. The person in charge terminal 1 may be used. Then, by pressing a predetermined button on the standard information display screen, the standard information of the selected standard and the detailed specification input request may be transmitted from the design engineer terminal 1 to the design support server 3. Then, the design support server 3 may generate a detailed specification input screen that accepts an input field of test actual measurement value data for the selected standard and transmit it to the design engineer terminal 1.

  In addition, when inputting the authorization acquisition result of the standard from the authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2, the authorization certificate data may also be registered. Then, the design person who has received the notification of obtaining the authorization may access the design support server 3 from the person in charge of the design person 1 to obtain and output the registered authorization data.

  In the above description, when all the test actual measurement data of all standards satisfy the acceptance criteria, the design support server 3 includes a button for registering the authorization acquisition request information in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C. Is sent to the person in charge of design 1 and when the button is pressed, the process for registering the authorization acquisition request information in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When it is determined that all test actual measurement data satisfy the acceptance criteria, the design support server 3 may automatically perform processing for registering the authorization acquisition request information in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C. In addition, when it is determined that all the test actual measurement data of all the standards satisfy the acceptance criteria, an input request as to whether or not to register the authorization acquisition request information in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C is transmitted to the designer terminal 1 Depending on the input contents, processing for registering the authorization acquisition request information in the authorization acquisition application DB 31C may be performed.

The system of the present invention can be realized using a normal computer system, not a dedicated system. For example, a program for executing the above operation is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (FD, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) and distributed, and the program is installed in the computer to execute the above processing. The design person in charge terminal 1, the authorization acquisition person in charge terminal 2, the design support server 3, etc. may be configured.
