Description

The present invention relates to a method for registering, managing, searching and executing by adding procedure information identification information to the procedure information and detailed procedure information, and a procedure information management apparatus for inputting, recording, searching, executing and displaying the execution result. It relates to a procedure information operation method.

Conventionally, when manipulating data and information to achieve the purpose, electronic procedure information can be recorded, stored and managed only when the data and information are registered in the computer, and manual information retrieval It is difficult to register procedures electronically in information processing.

In general, when a series of operations for achieving an object is performed, the procedure is divided into several operations, and the operation proceeds. At this time, automatic procedures executed using a computer or a computer program and manual procedures executed manually by a person are mixed.

For example, when designing a computer system, the price and performance of a commercially available computer and parts are investigated in order to determine the computer to be used first. At this time, the information recorded in the electronic data is a part using the computer. The search can be performed, and this procedure can be electronically registered as a search command for a computer by designating a computer for searching for a part search operation.

On the other hand, in order to know the product information that is not registered in the electronic data, it is a manual task of asking the dealer or other person, and it is not possible to register the procedure electronically as a computer command for the manual task. Because it was possible, the procedure was usually recorded on paper as a procedure or transmitted verbally.

As described above, when the work for achieving one purpose is disassembled into detailed procedures, the procedures for using a computer and the procedures for human processing are mixed, and the computer can be used for executing the procedure. It was impossible to register, search and execute the procedure uniformly as electronic data except when the information was stored in the computer. If only image, sound, and text information are registered and searched, it is conceivable to record all information as text information with information. (Refer nonpatent literature 1).
Patent Publication 2003-50813

When the work to achieve the purpose is broken down into several procedures, there are a mixture of procedures that use a computer and procedures that a person performs, and conventionally only the procedure that uses a computer is stored as electronic data on the computer. Procedure registration is possible, and it is impossible to register all procedures included in work for achieving one purpose as data on a computer.

Therefore, part of the procedure information needs to be left as a paper procedure manual or a procedure manual processed by a person using a computer.

Therefore, it is impossible to record all the procedure information for completing one work on the computer.

The present invention was invented to solve these drawbacks because it was impossible to record all of the manual procedures to accomplish a task and the automated procedures using a computer as electronic data on the computer. Is.

Therefore, in the present invention, a method of uniformly handling information including a plurality of types of procedure information and recording it as electronic data on a computer has been realized. Specifically, it is a procedure information management device including a procedure information input device, a procedure information recording device, a procedure information search device, a procedure execution device, and a procedure execution result display device.

The procedure information input device is character string information for reproducing a procedure entered by a person from a keyboard or the like, graphic information such as CAD, recording information such as an input time, incidental information such as time and situation for executing the procedure, voice, image The information obtained by sampling the electrical signal input from the information sensor such as the temperature and the tactile sensation at a specific period is converted into a character symbol string with identification information.

Information converted as character / symbol string information by the information input device is stored in the information storage device as character / symbol string information with identification information regardless of distinction between procedure information and term information, and includes multiple types of information. Are also stored as a collection of character symbol string information representing one procedure.

The information retrieval device can identify the stored information as identification information having the meaning of the specified technical term or proper noun, the action information recorded with the technical term or proper noun, content, purpose, and procedure regardless of the type of information. It is possible to specify and search uniformly. Specifically, the information retrieval apparatus identifies and retrieves information in a unified manner based on identification information at the head of each information and group identification information that is semantically or characteristically attached to the same lump.

By using the present invention, it is possible to record and execute the procedure information by the automatic procedure using the computer and the computer program which need to be executed in order to achieve the object and the manual means as electronic data. It becomes.

Then, even if the performer or environment changes, it is possible to completely reproduce the procedure execution to achieve the objective, avoid the situation where the procedure execution becomes impossible due to the transfer of the person in charge, or the person in charge of the execution changes. Education is also possible.
