Description

  The present invention relates to an operation simulation system for simulating and training a series of operations for sequentially operating a plurality of actual apparatus, and more particularly to an operation simulation system capable of flexible simulation training.

  For example, there may be a case where a plurality of operators / operators sequentially operate each actual device and transmit the operation result to the outside. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the operator A operates the actual apparatus A and transmits the operation result A (signal / data) to the actual apparatus B. Next, the operator B operates the actual apparatus B based on the operation result A, and transmits the operation result B to the actual apparatus C. Similarly, the operator C operates the actual device C based on the operation result B, and transmits the operation result as the final result to the outside.

  When simulating such a series of operations, as shown in FIG. 8, simulation apparatuses (computers) A to C simulating each actual apparatus A to C and a teacher desk (computer) are provided, and each simulation apparatus A to C is provided. And the simulator C and the instructor's desk are communicably connected via a UDP or TCP dedicated socket. When the trainer A operates the simulation device A, the simulation data A as a result of the operation is transmitted to the simulation device B. Next, when the trainer B operates the simulation device B based on the simulation data A, Simulation data B, which is an operation result, is transmitted to the simulation apparatus C. Similarly, when the trainer C operates the simulation device C based on the simulation data B, the simulation data C is transmitted to the instructor desk as an operation result.

  In such a mock training, the instructor looks at the operation result sent to the instructor desk to check whether the final result is correct, or looks at the operation from behind each trainer A to C, Check whether each operation is correct.

  On the other hand, a simulation device is known that can reproduce a radio wave propagation environment that can perform an operation test of a radio device that requires beacon or LAN setting, GPS information, information from a wireless broadcast, etc. (for example, Patent Document 1). This simulation device is a signal that generates a virtual propagation path that reproduces propagation characteristics between a plurality of wireless devices, and an operation signal that includes virtually created information that is used for a simulated operation of a connected wireless device. A generation circuit is provided so that an operation test can be performed on a connected radio using an operation signal.

  By the way, in the conventional simulation training, the simulation apparatuses A to C can only simulate the actual apparatus A to C, respectively. For this reason, when it is desired to simulate the operation of the actual device A, the user must sit in front of the simulation device A and operate the simulation device A. Further, since each simulation apparatus A to C and between the simulation apparatus C and the instructor desk are connected by a dedicated socket and the data transmission destination / transmission destination is fixed, the transmission destination cannot be changed.

  As described above, since the degree of freedom of configuration of the simulation device is low, flexible simulation training is difficult. For example, any trainer can quickly and easily perform simulation training on any actual device A to C, It has been difficult for a trainee to perform a simulation training of a plurality of actual apparatus A to C. In addition, in the simulation device of Patent Document 1, such flexible simulation training is difficult.

  Furthermore, in the conventional simulation training, the instructor can know only the final operation result transmitted to the instructor desk, and it is difficult to grasp which operation of which simulation apparatus A to C is wrong. there were. In addition, it is difficult to accurately grasp each operation and determine whether each trainer A to C is operating simply by looking at the operation from behind each trainer A to C.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide an operation simulation system that can firstly perform flexible simulation training and secondly can appropriately evaluate the simulation training.

  The invention described in claim 1 includes a plurality of simulation devices, a central device that can communicate with each simulation device, and a plurality of simulation programs for operating the simulation device as a plurality of predetermined actual devices. And an activation unit that activates the arbitrary simulation device with the arbitrary simulation program, and the simulation device outputs simulation data that is a result of calculation according to an operation to the central device based on the activated simulation program In addition, the operation simulation system is characterized in that the predetermined simulation data is acquired from the central device.

  In this invention, an arbitrary simulation apparatus is activated by an arbitrary simulation program by the activation means, and each simulation apparatus is simulated as a predetermined actual apparatus. For example, when the first simulation device is operated, the first simulation data calculated according to the operation is output to the central device, and the first simulation data is acquired by the second simulation device. Subsequently, when the second simulation device is operated, the second simulation data calculated according to the operation is output to the central device, and the second simulation data is acquired by the third simulation device. As described above, the operation is sequentially performed while the simulation data of the previously operated simulation apparatus (simulation program) is transferred to the next simulation apparatus.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the operation simulation system according to the first aspect, the simulation device outputs the operated content to the central device as operation data, and the central device stores the operation data. It is characterized by comprising storage means.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the operation simulation system according to the second aspect of the present invention, the operation simulation system includes a monitoring unit capable of reading operation data stored in the storage unit in real time.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, any simulation apparatus can be simulated and operated as any predetermined actual apparatus by starting any simulation apparatus with an arbitrary simulation program by the activation means. That is, the simulator has a high degree of freedom in configuration, and flexible simulation training is possible. For this reason, for example, a trainer can quickly and easily perform simulation training of an arbitrary / desired actual device by starting an arbitrary simulation device with an arbitrary simulation program, or start a simulation device with a plurality of simulation programs. Thus, it becomes possible for the trainee to perform simulation training of a plurality of actual machine devices.

  On the other hand, when the simulator is operated, the simulation data calculated in accordance with the operation is output to the central device, and this simulation data is acquired by the next simulator, so that a series of operations for sequentially operating a plurality of actual devices is properly performed. Simulation training is possible.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the operation data for operating each simulation device is stored in the storage means of the central device, the instructor can check the operation data stored in the storage means by the trainer. It is possible to accurately grasp each operation and appropriately evaluate the simulation training.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the operation data stored in the storage means of the central device is provided in real time, the instructor can accurately perform each operation in real time by reading the operation data from the monitoring means. This makes it possible to give accurate advice to trainers.

  The present invention will be described below based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an operation simulation system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The operation simulation system 1 is a system for simulating and training a series of operations for sequentially operating a plurality of predetermined actual machine devices (devices that are actually operated), and mainly includes a plurality of simulation devices 2 ₁ to 2 _n , A management computer (central device) 3 and an instructor device (teacher desk, monitoring means) 4 are provided. The management computer 3 is network-connected to each of the simulation devices 2 ₁ to 2 _n and the instructor device 4. Here, in this embodiment, a case will be mainly described in which a series of operations for sequentially operating the three actual apparatus A to C in FIG. 7 in the order of A, B, and C is simulated.

  The simulation device 2 is a device used by the trainee M for training, and is composed of a personal computer. The simulation device 2 includes an input device such as a mouse and keyboard, a display, a storage device, and the like. By activating the programs A to C, a simulation operation is performed as the actual apparatus A to C. That is, any one or a plurality of simulation programs can be started from the plurality of simulation programs A to C.

  Here, the simulation programs A to C are program software for simulating the simulation apparatus 2 as a plurality of predetermined actual apparatus A to C. The simulation program A simulates the actual apparatus A as the simulation program A. A simulation operation is performed as an actual apparatus B in B, and an operation is simulated as an actual apparatus C in a simulation program C. In addition, the simulation programs A to C perform the simulation operation by displaying the appearance of the actual device A to C on the display of the simulation device 2, and when the simulation data described later is acquired, the simulation program reflects the simulation data and performs the simulation. A predetermined calculation is performed according to the operation of the apparatus 2 and the calculation result is output as simulated data. Further, the simulation programs A to C output and transmit the contents operated by the simulation apparatus 2 to the management computer 3 in real time as operation data, and output the simulation data to the management computer 3.

  The management computer 3 is a device / server for performing and managing simulation training, and is composed of a personal computer. As shown in FIG. 2, the management computer 3 mainly includes a communication unit 31, an input unit 32, a display unit 33, A relational DB (storage means) 34 and a central processing unit 35 for controlling these are provided.

  The communication unit 31 is an interface for communicating with the simulation device 2 and the instructor device 4, and the input unit 32 selects the simulation device 2 and simulation programs A to C, and a training team, predetermined information, and commands described later. It is an interface for inputting. The display unit 33 is a display that displays a selection screen and predetermined information.

  The relational DB 34 is a database that stores operation data, simulation data, and the like output from the simulation device 2 in time series. The relational DB 34 also stores simulation data A to be reflected in the simulation apparatus 2 that starts the simulation program A and performs the simulation operation first (simulation operation as the actual apparatus A). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6 to be described later, the relational DB 34 can be divided into a plurality of data management areas 341 to 343 and the data management areas 341 to 343 can be assigned to the plurality of training teams A to C, respectively.

  The instructor apparatus 4 is an apparatus that can freely read operation data and simulated data stored in the relational DB 34 in real time. That is, the relational DB 34 of the management computer 3 is freely accessible, and operation data and simulated data can be read in real time at all times.

  Next, the operation and operation of the operation simulation system 1 will be described.

  First, an arbitrary simulation apparatus 2 is started by an arbitrary simulation program A to C from among the plurality of simulation programs A to C by the following starting means. That is, all the simulation programs A to C are installed in advance in the storage device of each simulation apparatus 2. When the trainee M selects the actual equipment A to C to be trained from the input device of the simulation apparatus 2, the corresponding simulation programs A to C are activated. In this way, the input device and the storage device of the simulation device 2 constitute an activation unit. Further, the selected real machine devices A to C are transmitted to the management computer 3, and the management computer 3 can recognize which simulation device 2 is activated by which simulation program A to C.

Here, when the first simulation device 2 ₁ starts in simulation program A, the second simulation device 2 ₂ starts in simulation program B, the third simulation device 2 ₃ is started in the simulated program C, Mainly described below. The first trainee M ₁ operates the first simulation device 2 _1, second trainee M ₂ operates the second simulation device 2 _2, third trainee M ₃ is a third It shall operate the simulation device 2 _3.

  Next, when each trainer M sequentially operates each simulation device 2, based on the activated simulation programs A to C, each simulation device 2 outputs simulation data calculated according to the operation to the management computer 3, Predetermined simulation data is acquired from the management computer 3. That is, each simulation device 2 accesses the relational DB 34 of the management computer 3 periodically and periodically, and when there is simulation data to be reflected in the own device 2, the simulation data is read and reflected on a screen or the like. Operate. Then, a predetermined calculation is performed according to an operation by the trainee M, and the calculation result is written in the relational DB 34 as simulated data. At the same time, whenever the trainee M performs an operation with the simulation apparatus 2, the operation content is written in the relational DB 34 in real time as operation data.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the first simulation device 2 ₁ simulates operation reads simulated data A from a relational DB 34, the first trainee M ₁ is the first simulation device 2 ₁ Is operated, the operation data A is sequentially written into the relational DB 34. Also, the simulated data B calculated according to the operation is written in the relational DB 34.

Next, the second simulation device 2 ₂ is simulation operation reads simulated data B from a relational DB 34, the second trainee M ₂ operates the second simulation device 2 ₂ sequentially relational the operation data B Write to DB34. Also, the simulated data C calculated according to the operation is written in the relational DB 34.

Subsequently, the third simulation device 2 ₃ is simulation operation reads simulated data C from a relational DB 34, the third trainee M ₃ operates the third simulation device 2 _3, sequentially relational the operation data C Write to DB34. Also, the simulated data calculated according to the operation is written in the relational DB 34 as the operation result.

  Here, the data connection (transmission) relationship will be described. First, in the real machine apparatuses A to C, as shown in FIG. 4A, the operation results A of the real machine apparatus A are obtained by connecting the connectors of the adjacent real machine apparatuses A to C with cables. The operation result B of the actual machine B is transmitted to the actual machine C.

On the other hand, in this operation simulation system 1, the identification information of the transmission source (output side) and the transmission destination (acquisition side) is associated in advance, and data from the simulation device 2 (transmission source) of the predetermined identification information is predetermined. Only the identification information simulation device 2 (transmission destination) reads. Thereby, as described above, the simulation data A to C are sequentially transmitted / received to the simulation devices 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ , and the operation result is transmitted to the management computer 3.

For example, in the first simulation device _{2 1} and the second simulation device _{2 2,} as shown in FIG. 4 (b), ID, to define and set the connection number (identification information). The first simulation device 2 _1, to exchange data as follows.
Read data of self ID = 1 and connection number (destination) = 1 from the relational DB 34.
Data is written in the relational DB 34 with self ID = 1, connection number (transmission source) = 3, partner ID = 2, connection number (transmission destination) = 2.
Data is written in the relational DB 34 with self ID = 1, connection number (transmission source) = 2, partner ID = 2, connection number (transmission destination) = 1.
The second simulation device 2 ₂ acquires data as follows.
Read data of self ID = 2 and connection number (destination) = 2 from the relational DB 34.
Read data of self ID = 2 and connection number (destination) = 1 from the relational DB 34.
The ID of the own device, the transmission source connection number, the ID of the other device, and the transmission destination connection number (including the team number in the case of a team) are added to the simulation data and operation data and written in the relational DB 34. .

Thus, in this embodiment, simulated data is acquired from the management computer 3 by reading the simulated data from the relational DB 34, and the simulated data is output to the management computer 3 by writing the simulated data to the relational DB 34. In contrast, in accordance with a predetermined delivery order (transmission order of data) may be sequentially transmitted to the simulated data via the management computer 3 to the simulator 2 ₁ to 2 _3. That is, the management computer 3, the simulated data A is transmitted to the first simulated device 2 ₁ receives the simulated data B from the first simulated device 2 _1, the simulated data B to the second simulator 2 ₂ Send. Similarly, upon receiving the simulated data C from the second simulator 2 _2, the simulated data C transmitted to the third simulation device 2 _3, receives and stores the operational results from the third simulator 2 ₃ .

  Next, a simulation training method using such an operation simulation system 1 will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, the trainee M or the like selects a training target actual device A through C (simulation program A through C), start each simulation device ₂ 1 to 2 ₃ by simulation program A through C (Step S1). That is, the simulation devices 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ are activated by the desired simulation programs A to C by the activation means described above. At this time, one simulation apparatus 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ may be activated by a plurality of simulation programs A to C, and may be simulated as a plurality of actual apparatus A to C.

Next, the first trainee M ₁ operates first simulated device 2 ₁ with the mouse or the keyboard while watching the screen (the step S2), the operation data A is written sequentially into a relational DB 34, according to the operation The calculated simulation data B is written in the relational DB 34 (step S3). Then, the instructor T reads the operation data and the simulated data stored in the relational DB 34 via the instructor device 4 and grasps the operation (step S4).

Subsequently, when simulation device 2 is not the end (last) simulator, that is, not the third simulation device 2 ₃ (in the case of "N" in step S5), and a second simulation is the next simulator 2 device _{2 2} reads simulated data B from the relational DB 34, to simulate operation by reflecting the simulated data B (step S6). And, similar operation returns to step S2, processing performed, such an operation is to repeat the process until the third simulation device 2 ₃ is the end.

As described above, according to this operation simulation system 1, by activating the any-desired simulator 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ by any-desired simulation program A through C, any simulation device 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ Can be simulated and operated as any actual apparatus A to C. That is, the simulators 2 _{1 to} 2 ₃ have a high degree of configuration freedom, and flexible simulation training is possible. For this reason, for example, the trainer M can quickly and easily perform the simulation training of any desired / desired actual apparatus A to C simply by starting the arbitrary simulation apparatus 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ with the arbitrary simulation program A to C. or, by starting the simulation device 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ by a plurality of simulation program a through C, it is possible to train person M or perform simulated training of the plurality of actual devices a through C at the same time.

In addition, a plurality of training teams can simultaneously simulate a series of operations, and in that case, a combination of the simulation apparatuses 2 constituting each training team can be arbitrarily set. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, each of the training teams A to C is configured by an arbitrary simulation device 2 when the simulation training is simultaneously performed by three training teams A to C. For example, the training team A is configured by the simulation devices 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ , the training team B is configured by the simulation devices 2 ₄ and ₂₅ , and the training team C is configured by the simulation devices 2 ₆ and 2 _7. the device ₂ 1 to 2 ₇ to start in any-desired simulation program a through C. At that time, since the training teams B and C are composed of the two simulation devices 2, one of the simulation devices 2 ₄ and 2 ₅ and the simulation devices 2 ₆ and 2 ₇ is activated by two simulation programs A to C. . In this case, the data management area 341 of the relational DB 34 is assigned to the training team A, the data management area 342 is assigned to the training team B, and the data management area 343 is assigned to the training team C.

On the other hand, when the simulation devices 2 _{1 to} 2 ₃ are operated, the simulation data calculated in accordance with the operation is written in the relational DB 34, and this simulation data is read by the next simulation device 2. It becomes possible to appropriately train a series of operations to be operated.

Further, since the operation data to operate the respective simulated device 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ is sequentially stored in a relational DB 34, by looking at the operation data stored in a relational DB 34, the instructor T can precisely each operation by the trainee M This makes it possible to properly evaluate the simulation training. In addition, since the operation data stored in the relational DB 34 can be read in real time by the instructor device 4, the instructor T can accurately grasp each operation in real time and give accurate advice to the trainer M. It becomes.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration is not limited to the above embodiment, and even if there is a design change or the like without departing from the gist of the present invention, Included in the invention. For example, the instructor device 4 may be provided integrally with the management computer 3, and the management computer 3 may also serve as the instructor device 4.
