In FIG. 4, an input receiving unit 101 of the optical information reading device 1 of the history log reproduction system according to the first embodiment receives an input from a user by a button operation.

  The code reading unit 102 reads an information code such as a barcode. Specifically, the information code is scanned by irradiating light, and the read information is decoded.

  The operation log detection unit 103 detects an operation log that is information related to a history of operations performed by the user. Specifically, information for identifying the button, the fact that the button has been operated, and the like are detected together with a time stamp indicating the time when the operation was received. The detected operation log is stored in the operation log storage unit 191 by the history log storage unit (first history log storage unit) 110.

  The operation log detection unit 104 detects an operation log that is information relating to an operation history of a device that executes reading of an information code. Specifically, an event (event) such as whether the scanning of the information code has succeeded or whether the decoding has failed is detected together with a time stamp indicating the time when the event occurred. The detected operation log is stored in the operation log storage unit 192 by the history log storage unit (first history log storage unit) 110.

  The history log transmission unit 105 transmits the stored operation log and operation log to the management apparatus 2. Thereby, the calculation processing load of the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 can be minimized.

  The history log receiving unit 201 of the management device 2 receives an operation log and an operation log. The history log storage unit (second history log storage unit) 202 stores the received operation log and operation log in the operation log storage unit 231 and the operation log storage unit 232, respectively.

  The reproduction file generation unit 203 generates a reproduction file to be reproduced and displayed by the optical information reading device 1. For example, since it is not necessary to reproduce all the history logs, a reproduction file is generated by executing an editing process such as designating only a part related to the failure that has occurred or deleting an irrelevant part. The reproduction file transmission unit 204 transmits the generated reproduction file to the optical information reading device 1.

  The reproduction file receiving means 107 of the optical information reading device 1 receives the reproduction file from the management device 2 and stores it. Note that a reproduction file storage unit (not shown) for storing a reproduction file received from the management apparatus 2 may be provided separately from the reproduction file reception unit 107. Based on an external trigger input, the history log reproduction means 108 reads out a reproduction file received and stored (for example, from the storage device 23 or the reproduction file storage means) and executes part or all of the reproduction file. Thus, the user operation and the device operation are reproduced. Specifically, the user operation and the device operation are reproduced by executing a part or all of the reproduction file in which the operation log and the operation log are merged in time series. Therefore, it is possible to visually confirm whether or not an error has been made in the operation by the user, or at which point the device has failed.

  In particular, in the first embodiment, a remote operation command is transmitted from the management apparatus 2 as “trigger input from the outside”. Specifically, the management device 2 includes a remote operation command transmission unit 207 that transmits a remote operation command for causing the history log reproduction unit 108 to execute part or all of the reproduction file to the optical information reading device 1. I have. The remote operation command transmission means 207 can be realized by various hardware elements. For example, a monitor for displaying a screen shown in FIG. 10 to be described later, a mouse 32 for operating the screen shown in FIG. 10, a communication circuit for transmitting a remote operation command, and the like.

  When the history log reproducing means 108 receives from the remote operation command transmitting means 207, for example, a remote operation command having the content of executing only one operation of the history log (that is, executing only a part of the reproduction file), Based on the contents of the received remote operation command, user operation and device operation are reproduced. In this way, the management apparatus 2 can cause the optical information reading apparatus 1 to execute part or all of the reproduction file. Details of the remote operation will be described later.

  Further, other “trigger input from the outside” includes a user operation on the optical information reading apparatus 1 main body. For example, a trigger input can be given to the optical information reading device 1 by the user pressing a button to which a history log reproduction function is assigned. Then, the user can cause the history log reproduction means 108 to execute a part or all of the reproduction file by appropriately performing button operations while viewing the screen of the optical information reading apparatus 1. Thus, “external trigger input” is not necessarily a trigger input from an externally connected device.

  The screen data transmission unit 109 transmits screen data (still image data or moving image data) for displaying a screen reproduced based on the reproduction file to the management apparatus 2. The screen data receiving unit 205 of the management device 2 receives screen data from the optical information reading device 1. The received screen data is displayed on the display device 33 of the management device 2. That is, the management device 2 has screen data display means 208 for displaying the screen data received from the optical information reading device 1 on the display device 33 of the management device 2.

  Here, the optical information reading apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment may include a conversion unit 106 that converts the operation log and the operation log into a script file. This is because user operations and device operations can be quickly reproduced. In addition, when the reproduction file is generated in the management apparatus 2, various editing such as deleting unnecessary log information becomes easy. In this case, the conversion unit 106 generates (script conversion) a script file relating to a history log including the operation log detected by the operation log detection unit 103 and the operation log detected by the operation log detection unit 104. The history log transmission unit 105 transmits the script file converted by the conversion unit 106 to the management apparatus 2.

  The history log receiving unit 201 of the management device 2 receives the converted script file, and the history log storage unit 202 stores the received script file in the storage device 23. Based on the stored script file, the reproduction file generation unit 203 generates a reproduction file that is narrowed down to only a portion to be reproduced by the optical information reading device 1. Specifically, the script file is edited and generated as a reproduction file that leaves only the portion that needs to be reproduced in order to specify the cause of the failure or the like. Here, “editing” may be an operation for leaving only a portion that needs to be reproduced in order to identify the cause of a failure or the like as described above, or an operation for setting a reproduction start position or a reproduction end position. It does not matter what the content or degree is. The reproduction file transmission unit 204 transmits the generated reproduction file (edited script file) to the optical information reading apparatus 1.

  The reproduction file receiving unit 107 of the optical information reading device 1 receives the reproduction file from the management device 2. The history log reproduction means 108 reproduces user operations and device operations by executing part or all of the received reproduction file. Specifically, user operations and device operations are replayed by editing the script file and executing all or part of the replay file that leaves only the part necessary to identify the cause of the failure etc. To do. Therefore, it is possible to virtually reproduce whether or not there is an error in the operation by the user, or at which point in time the device has failed.

  Of course, the conversion means may be provided on the management apparatus 2 side. In this case, a conversion unit 206 that converts the received operation log and operation log into a script file is provided. That is, the operation log and the operation log sent from the history log transmission unit 105 may be converted into a script file by the conversion unit 206 provided in the management apparatus 2. Based on the converted script file, the reproduction file generation unit 203 edits the script file so as to leave a part necessary for specifying the cause of the failure or the like, and generates a reproduction file. This makes it possible to virtually reproduce what operation is actually accepted and what operation is performed.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described based on a flowchart. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation log acquisition processing procedure of the CPU 11 of the optical information reading device 1 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 5, the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 determines whether or not an operation by the user has been detected (step S501). If the CPU 11 determines that no operation has been detected (step S501: NO), the CPU 11 determines whether an event has occurred (step S502).

  If the CPU 11 determines that no event has occurred (step S502: NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S501 and repeats the above-described process. When the CPU 11 determines that an event has occurred (step S502: YES), or when the CPU 11 determines that an operation has been detected (step S501: YES), the CPU 11 stores information regarding the history of operations performed by the user in the operation log. (Step S503).

  For example, in the case of a key input operation, the operation log is a virtual key code, a physical key type, an operation type, identification information for identifying an application to be executed, a difference time (time stamp) from the previous operation, etc. It is detected as information. In the case of a touch panel operation, information such as coordinate values after coordinate conversion, screen size, identification information for identifying an application to be executed, and a difference time (time stamp) from the previous operation is detected. When an event that does not involve a button operation or the like occurs, it is detected as information such as screen data, identification information for identifying an application to be executed, and a difference time (time stamp) from the previous operation.

  The CPU 11 determines whether or not the detected operation log needs to be stored (step S504). Specifically, operations, events, and the like that need to be kept as operation logs are determined in advance, and are not stored as operation logs in the case of other operations, events, and the like.

  When the CPU 11 determines that it is not necessary to store the detected operation log (step S504: NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S501 and repeats the above-described process. When the CPU 11 determines that it is necessary to store the detected operation log (step S504: YES), the CPU 11 stores the detected operation log in the memory 12 of the optical information reading device 1 (step S505). .

  The CPU 11 determines whether an operation log acquisition stop request has been received (step S506). When the CPU 11 determines that a stop request has not been received (step S506: NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S501 and repeats the above-described process. If the CPU 11 determines that a stop request has been received (step S506: YES), the CPU 11 ends the process.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for acquiring an operation log of the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 6, the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 determines whether or not a device operation has occurred (step S601). Here, the device means a data transmission / reception device such as a barcode scanner, an image sensor, or an RFID represented by an optical information reader.

  When the CPU 11 determines that no device operation has occurred (step S601: NO), the CPU 11 enters an operation waiting state. When the CPU 11 determines that the device operation has occurred (step S601: YES), the CPU 11 detects the device operation log (step S602).

  For example, when the device is the optical information reader 1 that reads a barcode, the operation log includes a reading result (success / failure), a reading character string, a barcode type, identification information for identifying an application to be executed, It is detected as information such as a difference time (time stamp) from the previous operation.

  The CPU 11 determines whether or not it is necessary to store the detected operation log (step S603). Specifically, an operation that needs to be left as an operation log is determined in advance, and if the operation is other than that, it is not stored as an operation log.

  When the CPU 11 determines that it is not necessary to store the detected operation log (step S603: NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S601 and repeats the above-described process. When the CPU 11 determines that it is necessary to store the detected operation log (step S603: YES), the CPU 11 stores the detected operation log in the memory 12 of the optical information reader 1 (step S604). .

  The CPU 11 determines whether an operation log acquisition stop request has been accepted (step S605). When the CPU 11 determines that the stop request has not been received (step S605: NO), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S601 and repeats the above-described process. If the CPU 11 determines that a stop request has been received (step S605: YES), the CPU 11 ends the process.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a history log transmission processing procedure of the CPU 11 of the optical information reading device 1 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 determines whether or not a history log output request has been received (step S701). The output request is a transmission of a history log stored in the memory 12 of the optical information reader 1, that is, an operation log and an operation log, in order to specify the cause of the failure or the like by remote operation from the management device 2. The command to request.

  However, the output request is not limited to being transmitted from the management apparatus 2. For example, it may be an output request from an application executed on the optical information reader 1, or an output request linked to a long press of a predetermined button by the user. Moreover, the output request | requirement by the fixed time interval by the built-in timer etc. may be sufficient so that it may output regularly.

  When the CPU 11 determines that an output request has not been received (step S701: NO), the CPU 11 enters a reception waiting state. If the CPU 11 determines that an output request has been received (step S701: YES), the CPU 11 determines whether a history log is stored (step S702).

  If the CPU 11 determines that no history log is stored (step S702: NO), the CPU 11 determines that there is no information to be output and ends the process. When the CPU 11 determines that a history log is stored (step S702: YES), the CPU 11 generates an output file (step S703). Specifically, the operation log and the operation log stored in the memory 12 are merged in time series based on the time stamp, and the merged information is generated as an output file.

  Of course, the conversion unit 106 may convert the operation log and the operation log into a script file, and the converted script file may be included in the output file. This is because a reproduction file (script file) for reproducing user operations and device operations in the optical information reading apparatus 1 can be edited by the management apparatus 2.

  The CPU 11 transmits the generated output file to the management device 2 (step S704).

  The management apparatus 2 edits the script file received as the output file and generates a reproduction file. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a playback file generation processing procedure of the CPU 21 of the management device 2 of the history log playback system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 8, the CPU 21 of the management device 2 determines whether or not a script file is received as an output file from the optical information reading device 1 (step S801). Of course, the determination may be made based on whether or not the script file is stored.

  When the CPU 21 determines that the script file has not been received (step S801: NO), the CPU 21 enters a reception waiting state. When the CPU 21 determines that the script file has been received (step S801: YES), the CPU 21 edits the script file (step S802). Specifically, setting of a reproduction start position for reproduction, setting of a reproduction end position, setting of the number of reproduction repetitions, setting of debug output, and the like are performed. The CPU 21 transmits the edited script file as a reproduction file to the optical information reading apparatus 1 (step S803). Note that it is preferable to include at least editing for setting a playback start position and a playback end position.

  The optical information reading device 1 that has received the reproduction file reproduces part or all of the received reproduction file according to the content of the remote debugging operation request (remote operation command) from the management device 2, and the optical information reading device 1 Reproduce what happened. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a reproduction file reproduction processing procedure of the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 9, the CPU 11 of the optical information reading device 1 determines whether or not a remote debugging operation request has been received from the management device 2 (step S901). When the CPU 11 determines that the remote debugging operation request has not been received (step S901: NO), the CPU 11 enters a reception waiting state. If the CPU 11 determines that a remote debugging operation request has been received (step S901: YES), the CPU 11 interprets the command (step S902).

  Specific types of commands include a playback file playback start request, playback file playback stop request, script step execution request, stop timing setting request, and the like. The CPU 11 confirms which type of command the received remote debugging operation request is.

  The CPU 11 executes the reproduction file (step S903). Of course, not only playback but also execution according to the interpreted command. Simultaneously with the execution of the reproduction file, a display screen corresponding to the history log is displayed on the display unit 16 (step S904).

  The CPU 11 determines whether there is a reproduction stop request in the command (step S905). If the CPU 11 determines that there is no reproduction stop request (step S905: NO), the CPU 11 returns the processing to step S901 and repeats the above-described processing. When the CPU 11 determines that there is a reproduction stop request (step S905: YES), the CPU 11 ends the process.

  FIG. 10 is a view showing an example of the history log display screen 4 of the management device 2 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the history log display screen 4 includes a reproduction display unit 121 that displays buttons, a display screen, and the like of the optical information reading device 1 as a virtual machine similar to a real machine, and a display unit 16 of the optical information reading device 1. The display confirmation unit 122 for confirming the display and the history log display unit 123 for displaying the received history log.

  The history log display unit 123 displays a list of information obtained by merging operation logs and operation logs in time series. The user can highlight and display an arbitrary line of the history log by a cursor operation or the like.

  An actual operation will be described based on the example of FIG. Note that the screen data displayed on the display unit 16 of the optical information reading device 1 may be transmitted to the management device 2 as moving image data, but still image data when the screen display changes. May be sent. This is because the calculation processing load can be reduced. FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of a screen displayed on the management device 2 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the following description, a still image is displayed when the screen display changes. The screen in the case of transmitting data is illustrated.

  First, “CLR key ↓” on the first line of the history log display unit 123 in FIG. 10 means that the clear key is physically pressed. When the first line is selected, the reproduction display unit 121 displays The same image as that displayed on the display unit 16 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 in the state where the clear key is pressed is displayed.

  Similarly, description will be made sequentially for each row. The next “CLR key ↑” means that the clear key is physically returned to the original position. “Touch (204, 281) ↓” indicates that the coordinates (204, 281) have been touched with a touch pen or the like, and “Touch (204, 283) ↑” indicates that the touch pen has moved away from the coordinates (204, 283). That means each.

  In addition, “screen“ 2013306_181245_00000001. "jpg" "means that the display screen on the display unit 16 at that time is captured as JPEG data. The captured display screen is displayed on the display confirmation unit 122.

  “ENT key ↓” means that the enter key is physically pressed, and “ENT key ↑” means that the enter key is physically restored. “Screen” 201130626_181245_00000002. "jpg" "means that the display screen on the display unit 16 at that time is captured as JPEG data. The captured display screen is displayed on the display confirmation unit 122.

  “STRG key ↓” in the next line means that the trigger key is physically pressed. “Scan error” means that an error has occurred during scanning, and the feature of the present invention is that such an operation log is output. The screen data at the time when the trigger key is physically pressed and a scan error occurs is transmitted to the management apparatus 2 (FIG. 11A). Of course, the display screen (FIG. 11A) on the display unit 16 at this time is captured as JPEG data and displayed on the display confirmation unit 122.

  “STRG key ↓” in the next line means that the trigger key is physically pressed. “Decode error” means that an error has occurred during decoding, and it is understood that no error has occurred during scanning. Therefore, it is possible to avoid specifying an erroneous cause. The screen data when the trigger key is physically pressed and a decoding error occurs is transmitted to the management apparatus 2 (FIG. 11B). Of course, the display screen (FIG. 11B) on the display unit 16 at this point is captured as JPEG data and displayed on the display confirmation unit 122.

  “STRG key ↓” in the next line means that the trigger key is physically pressed. “Reading success“ SCAN HISTORY ”JAN13” indicates that scanning and decoding were successful and reading was successful. Screen data at the time when the trigger key is physically pressed and reading is successful is transmitted to the management apparatus 2 (FIG. 11C). Of course, the display screen (FIG. 11C) on the display unit 16 at this time is captured as JPEG data and displayed on the display confirmation unit 122.

  “TAB key ↓” in the next line means that the tab key is physically pressed while FIG. 11C is displayed. As can be seen by comparing the display screens (FIG. 11 (c) and FIG. 11 (d)), it can be seen that the highlighted display area is changed (moves to the next display area) by the tab key. That is, the operation log can also be reproduced as a transition of the display screen. The display screen (FIG. 11D) on the display unit 16 at this time is also captured as JPEG data and displayed on the display confirmation unit 122.

  “TAB key ↑” in the next line means that the tab key is physically returned to the original position. “1 key ↓” means that the “1” key is physically pressed, and “1 key ↑” means that the “1” key is physically returned to the original position. .

  Here, the reproduction of the reproduction file may automatically execute all scripts (all lines in the history log display unit 123 in FIG. 10) or may be executed step by step. In the latter case, a reproduction instruction may be transmitted step by step from the management apparatus 2, or a reproduction instruction may be generated by pressing a specific button of the optical information reading apparatus 1. In the example of FIG. 10, for example, every time the step button 124 is selected, a reproduction instruction is transmitted from the management device 2.

  Also, a plurality of steps specified by the user can be played as a block and played back in block units. As a result, it is possible to identify the cause of the occurrence of a failure more efficiently. Furthermore, a specific block can be repeatedly reproduced a predetermined number of times, or all steps can be repeatedly reproduced a predetermined number of times. In addition to sequential reproduction from the first step, reproduction may be performed from an intermediate step, or reproduction may be stopped at a predetermined step without reproduction to the last step.

  In this way, by editing the script file that converted the history log and generating a playback file, a script that is unnecessary to identify the cause of the failure, such as an operation log indicating standby time, can be created. It can also be deleted. Thereby, cause specific work can be advanced efficiently.

  Alternatively, the reproduction result can be confirmed by adding an operation considered to be useful for the cause identifying work as a script. For example, the operation log can be changed as if the STRG key was only pressed once, whereas it was pressed three times in succession. In this way, playback files can be generated freely, so multiple patterns of playback files can be generated for one history log, and the cause can be identified earlier by checking the operation on the actual machine. It becomes possible.

  In addition, since the script file can be edited, by deleting the script relating to the information depending on the hardware of the optical information reader 1, the reproduction file can be read by the optical information other than the optical information reader 1 that has acquired the history log. It can also be played back by a device, a management device or the like. Therefore, when the optical information reading device 1 in which the failure has occurred is not at hand and only the same type device exists, or there is no optical information reading device 1 (only a computer that can perform an alternative function of the management device 2 exists). Even so, the cause can be identified.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, not only a user operation log but also an operation log for each device can be acquired. For example, when reading of an information code fails, whether scanning has failed. It is easy to identify the true cause by reproducing the user operation and the device operation as to whether the scanning was normal but the decoding failed, and it becomes possible to deal with the failure more accurately. Further, even if a failure or the like occurs in the optical information reader 1, the cause can be caused by remotely operating the optical information reader 1 with the management device 2 installed in the manufacturer without sending the optical information reader 1 to the manufacturer. Can be specified.

(Embodiment 2)
The configuration itself of the history log reproduction system according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment including the configuration of the optical information reading device 1 and the configuration of the management device 2, and therefore has the same function. Detailed description of the elements will be omitted by giving the same reference numerals. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that all processes up to reproduction of user operations and device operations are executed by the optical information reading apparatus 1.

  FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 12, the input receiving means 101 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 of the history log reproducing system according to the second embodiment receives an input from the user by a button operation.

  The code reading unit 102 reads an information code such as a barcode. Specifically, the information code is scanned by irradiating light, and the read information is decoded.

  The operation log detection unit 103 detects an operation log that is information related to a history of operations performed by the user. Specifically, information for identifying the button, the fact that the button has been operated, and the like are detected together with a time stamp indicating the time when the operation was received.

  The operation log detection unit 104 detects an operation log that is information relating to an operation history of a device that executes reading of an information code. Specifically, an event (event) such as whether the scanning of the information code has succeeded or whether the decoding has failed is detected together with a time stamp indicating the time when the event occurred.

  The history log storage unit 110 stores the detected operation log and operation log in the storage device 19. Specifically, the operation log is stored in the operation log storage unit 191 of the storage device 19, and the operation log is stored in the operation log storage unit 192 of the storage device 19.

  The reproduction file generation unit 120 generates a reproduction file for reproduction and display by the optical information reading device 1. For example, since it is not necessary to reproduce all the history logs, a reproduction file is generated by executing an editing process such as designating only a part related to the failure that has occurred or deleting an irrelevant part.

  The history log reproduction means 108 reproduces user operations and device operations based on the generated reproduction file. Specifically, the user operation and the device operation are reproduced based on the reproduction file in which the operation log and the operation log are merged in time series. Therefore, it is possible to visually confirm whether or not an error has been made in the operation by the user, or at which point the device has failed.

  The optical information reading apparatus 1 may include a conversion unit 106 that converts the operation log and the operation log into a script file. This is because user operations and device operations can be quickly reproduced. The script file converted by the conversion means 106 is stored in the storage device 19.

  Based on the script file stored in the storage device 19, the reproduction file generation unit 120 generates a reproduction file that is narrowed down to only a portion to be reproduced by the optical information reading device 1. Specifically, the script file is edited and generated as a reproduction file that leaves only the portion that needs to be reproduced in order to identify the cause.

  The history log reproduction means 108 reproduces user operations and device operations based on the generated reproduction file. Specifically, the user operation and the device operation are reproduced based on the reproduction file in which only a part necessary for specifying the cause is left by editing the script file. Therefore, it is possible to virtually reproduce whether or not there is an error in the operation by the user, or at which point in time the device has failed.

  The reproduction of the history log starts at the timing when the reproduction trigger signal is received from the management device 2. Specifically, the reproduction trigger signal transmission unit 209 of the management device 2 transmits a reproduction trigger signal for starting reproduction of the history log to the optical information reading device 1 at a predetermined timing.

  The reproduction trigger signal receiving unit 111 of the optical information reader 1 receives the reproduction trigger signal, and the history log reproduction unit 108 starts reproducing the history log when the reproduction trigger signal receiving unit 111 receives the reproduction trigger signal. . Of course, the reproduction trigger signal is not limited to being received from the management device 2. For example, a screen similar to the history log display screen 4 shown in FIG. 10 of the first embodiment is displayed on the display unit of the optical information reading device 1. 16, and the history log may be reproduced at a timing when designation is accepted as an input to the optical information reader 1 by the user.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a history log reproduction processing procedure of the CPU 11 of the optical information reading apparatus 1 of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 11, the CPU 11 of the optical information reader 1 determines whether or not a history log reproduction trigger signal has been received (step S1301). When the CPU 11 determines that no reception has been made (step S1301: NO), the CPU 11 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the CPU 11 determines that it has been received (step S1301: YES), the CPU 11 determines whether a history log is stored (step S1302). When the CPU 11 determines that the history log is not stored (step S1302: NO), the CPU 11 determines that the history log cannot be reproduced and ends the process.

  When the CPU 11 determines that a history log is stored (step S1302: YES), the CPU 11 generates an output file (step S1303). Specifically, a history log obtained by merging stored operation logs and operation logs in time series is generated as an output file. Of course, the operation log and the operation log may be converted into a script file by the conversion unit 106 and included in the output file.

  The CPU 11 edits the generated output file (script file) to generate a reproduction file (step S1304). The CPU 11 reproduces and outputs based on the generated reproduction file (step S1305).

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, since the optical information reading apparatus 1 alone can acquire not only the operation log by the user but also the operation log for each device, for example, reading of the information code has failed. In such a case, it becomes easy to specify the true cause by reproducing the user operation and the device operation, such as whether the scanning has failed or whether the scanning was normal but the decoding has failed. It becomes possible to respond. Further, since the user operation and the device operation can be reproduced based on the operation log and the operation log by the optical information reader 1 alone, when a failure or the like occurs in the optical information reader 1, The device operation can be reproduced, and the cause can be easily identified at the user level in the field. In the second embodiment, a history log reproduction trigger signal is input from the management device 2, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and as described above, the optical information reading device. A playback trigger signal may be input based on a user operation on one main body. That is, the reproduction trigger signal transmission unit 209 illustrated in FIG. 12 may be provided in the optical information reading apparatus 1 instead of the management apparatus 2.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, the history log reproduction system according to the third embodiment includes an optical information reader 1 (1a, 1b) that reads an information code such as a bar code or a QR code (registered trademark), such as a handy terminal. , One set that is connected so as to be able to perform data communication with the management device 2 (2a, 2b), and one history with a plurality of sets by being connected so that the management devices 2a, 2b can perform data communication A log replay system is configured.

  In the example of FIG. 14, the optical information reading device 1a is in data communication with a management device 2a installed at a remote place via a wireless LAN via a Wi-fi router 3a. Similarly, the optical information reading device 1b is in data communication with a management device 2b installed at a remote place via a wireless LAN via a Wi-fi router 3b. The management devices 2a and 2b also communicate with each other via a wireless LAN via Wi-fi routers 3a and 3b, respectively.

  For example, when a failure occurs and the cause is specified, the next thing to do is to correct the failure so that it does not occur. That is, it is necessary to transmit a correction program, a setting file to be updated to an optimal setting, a batch file to be applied, and the like to the optical information reading apparatus 1. In this case, it is inefficient to execute it for each history log reproduction system. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the management apparatuses 2 can communicate with each other, and the correction program and setting are made to all the optical information reading apparatuses 1 connected to the management apparatus 2 via the management apparatus 2. It is different from the first and second embodiments in that a file, a batch file, etc. can be transmitted.

  In addition, since it is the same as that of Embodiment 1 and 2 including the structure of the optical information reader 1 (1a, 1b) and the structure of the management apparatus 2 (2a, 2b), it is the same about the component which has the same function. Detailed description will be omitted by attaching the reference numeral.

  In the third embodiment, one management apparatus 2a is a main management apparatus, and another management apparatus 2b (a plurality of management apparatuses 2b) is a sub management apparatus. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a command / file transmission / reception processing procedure of the management apparatus 2a of the history log reproduction system according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 15, the CPU 21 of one management apparatus 2a accepts input of an IP address range (step S1501). Specifically, the input of the IP address of the other management apparatus 2b that is recognized that the one management apparatus 2a can perform data communication is accepted. Therefore, input of one IP address may be accepted, or input of a plurality of IP addresses may be accepted. The CPU 21 transmits a search command to one IP address within the accepted range (step S1502).

  The CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a response to the search command (step S1503). If the CPU 21 determines that there is no response (step S1503: NO), the CPU 21 returns the processing to step S1502 and repeats the above-described processing. When the CPU 21 determines that there is a response (step S1503: YES), the CPU 21 transmits a parameter file transmission request command to the other management apparatus 2b that has responded (step S1504). The parameter file is a file of information regarding various parameters of the optical information reading apparatus 1b connected to the other management apparatus 2b that has transmitted the transmission request command.

  The CPU 21 determines whether or not a parameter file has been received (step S1505). When the CPU 21 determines that it has not been received (step S1505: NO), the CPU 21 enters a reception waiting state. If the CPU 21 determines that it has been received (step S1505: YES), the CPU 21 determines whether the received parameter file is correct or not (step S1506).

  If the CPU 21 determines that the parameter file is incorrect (step S1506: NO), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S1504 and repeats the above-described process. . When the CPU 21 determines that the parameter file is correct (step S1506: YES), the CPU 21 stores the parameter file in the storage device 23 (step S1507).

  The CPU 21 determines whether or not a search command has been transmitted to all IP addresses in the range of IP addresses for which input has been accepted (step S1508). If the CPU 21 determines that there is an IP address that has not yet been transmitted (step S1508: NO), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S1502, and repeats the above-described process. When the CPU 21 determines that it has transmitted to all IP addresses (step S1508: YES), the CPU 21 transmits a communication update setting command (step S1509).

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a parameter file transmission processing procedure of another management apparatus 2b of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 16, the CPU 21 of the other management apparatus 2b determines whether or not a transmission request command has been received (step S1601). When the CPU 21 determines that it has not been received (step S1601: NO), the CPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  When the CPU 21 determines that it has been received (step S1601: YES), the CPU 21 extracts various parameters of the connected optical information reading device 1b (step S1602), and one management device as a parameter file of the extracted parameters. It transmits to 2a (step S1603).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of communication update execution of another management apparatus 2b of the history log reproduction system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 17, the CPU 21 of the other management apparatus 2b determines whether or not a communication update setting command has been received (step S1701). When the CPU 21 determines that no reception has been made (step S1701: NO), the CPU 21 enters a reception waiting state.

  If the CPU 21 determines that it has been received (step S1701: YES), the CPU 21 performs a communication update setting process (step S1702). The CPU 21 determines whether or not a communication update is necessary (step S1703).

  When the CPU 21 determines that no communication update is necessary (step S1703: NO), the CPU 21 waits for processing until it becomes necessary. When the CPU 21 determines that a communication update is necessary (step S1703: YES), the CPU 21 executes a communication update for the connected optical information reader 1b (step S1704). Whether or not the communication update is necessary is determined based on, for example, whether or not a bit is set in the necessary flag. Therefore, the state of the flag may be confirmed periodically or periodically.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, since commands and files can be transmitted and received between the management devices 2 that manage the optical information reading device 1, there is a cause of failure in one optical information reading device 1a. If it can be identified, a batch file or the like that can eliminate the cause of one optical information reader 1a can be easily applied to another optical information reader 1b.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes and improvements can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, a plurality of management devices 2 may be provided, and one optical information reading device 1 may be connected to be able to perform data communication with a plurality of management devices 2.
