It is a figure which shows an example of the display screen of a display part. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of the some spectacles apparatus using a terminal device. It is a figure which shows an example of the work screen of a subjective optometry apparatus. It is a figure which shows an example of the work screen of a lens meter. It is a figure which shows an example of the work screen of a blocker. It is a figure which shows an example of the work screen of a lens edger. It is a figure explaining the spectacles system in which the same kind of some spectacles apparatus exists in the process of spectacle lens. It is a figure explaining the taking over operation between terminal devices.

  Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The terminal device (for example, the terminal device 10) of this embodiment assists the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices (for example, spectacle devices 2 to 5 and the like) used to perform different processes in the process of producing spectacles, for example. To do. For example, as a process (work process) for producing eyeglasses, there are an optometry process, a lens measurement process, a lens processing preparation process, a lens processing process, and the like. In addition, as a process for producing spectacles, it is not limited to the said process. Any process that can produce glasses can be used, and the process can be changed depending on the function of the apparatus to be used.

  For example, a configuration that assists the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices includes a configuration in which an operator can operate the plurality of spectacle devices. In addition, for example, the configuration that assists the operation of the configuration of the plurality of spectacle devices includes a configuration in which a state in which the operator is operating (operating) the plurality of spectacle devices is set.

  Examples of a plurality of spectacle devices used for performing different processes in the process of producing spectacles include, for example, an optometry apparatus (for example, an eye refractive power measurement apparatus, a refractor, etc.), a lens meter, a cup mounting apparatus (blocker), and a lens. And a processing apparatus. For example, the optometry apparatus is used when measuring the visual function of both eyes of the subject. For example, a lens meter is used to measure the optical characteristics of a spectacle lens. For example, the cup attachment device is used for attaching a cup as a processing jig to the surface of a spectacle lens. For example, the lens processing apparatus includes a processing tool that processes the peripheral edge of a spectacle lens held by a lens chuck shaft. That is, the lens processing apparatus holds the spectacle lens between the lens chuck shafts and processes the peripheral edge of the spectacle lens using a processing tool.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the terminal device includes a communication unit, a setting unit, a control unit, and the like. For example, the communication means (for example, the communication unit 77) communicates with a plurality of eyeglass devices. For example, the setting unit (for example, the control unit 70) sets one spectacle device from a plurality of spectacle devices as a spectacle device for assisting the operation in accordance with a process (a spectacle production work process). For example, a control means (for example, control part 70) transmits the operation signal input in the terminal device to the spectacles apparatus set by the setting means by a communication means. In addition, for example, the control unit receives an input signal input in the eyeglass device set by the setting unit by the communication unit. With such a configuration, the operation of a plurality of eyeglass devices can be assisted by a single terminal device, and eyeglasses can be produced efficiently.

  For example, the communication unit includes a reception unit and a transmission unit. Note that the receiving unit and the transmitting unit may be configured to be shared, or may be configured separately. For example, at least one of wireless and wired configurations is used as the communication means. For example, the terminal device communicates with a plurality of eyeglass devices using at least one of a wireless configuration and a wired configuration. For example, the communication unit may be configured to include the control unit 70. For example, the wireless configuration includes a configuration of a wireless LAN, infrared communication, WiFi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like. Further, for example, as a wired configuration, a configuration of a USB cable, a LAN cable, or the like can be given.

  For example, as the setting unit, a plurality of spectacle devices that assist the operation based on an input signal input by an operator's operation unit (for example, a display unit (touch panel type display unit) 75) in the terminal device. One spectacle device is set from the spectacle devices. In this case, for example, the operator operates the operation means to select the spectacle device that assists the operation from the display regarding the plurality of spectacle devices displayed on the display of the terminal device. The setting means sets the selected spectacle device as a spectacle device that assists the operation.

  For example, the operation means accepts various operation instructions from the examiner. For example, at least one user interface such as a touch panel, a mouse, a joystick, or a keyboard may be used as the operation means. In the present embodiment, the operation means is a touch panel. For this reason, the display also functions as an operation means.

  Further, for example, the setting unit has a configuration in which one spectacle device is set from a plurality of spectacle devices as a spectacle device that assists the operation based on an input signal transmitted from the spectacle device and input to the terminal device. Can be mentioned. In this case, for example, when receiving the input signal from the spectacle device, the terminal device sets the spectacle device that has transmitted the input signal as a spectacle device that assists the operation of the spectacle device. Further, for example, when receiving an input signal from the spectacle device, the terminal device displays information on the spectacle device that has received the input signal on the display of the terminal device. For example, when receiving from a plurality of spectacle devices, information about the spectacle devices is displayed (for example, list display). The operator selects a spectacle device by operating the operation means, and sets the selected spectacle device.

  In addition, as a configuration for the spectacle device to transmit the input signal, for example, a configuration in which the spectacle device transmits the input signal by detecting that the distance between the spectacle device and the terminal device is equal to or less than a preset distance. It is good. Further, for example, as a configuration for the spectacle device to transmit the input signal, for example, a configuration in which the spectacle device always transmits the input signal can be cited. In this case, for example, when the distance between the spectacle device and the terminal device is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, an input signal may be input from the terminal device.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the terminal device may further include a display (for example, the operation unit 76) and a display control unit (for example, the control unit 70). For example, the display control unit calls a plurality of work screens from a storage unit (for example, the storage unit 74) that stores a plurality of work screens that assist an operator's operation on each of the plurality of spectacle devices, and displays the work screens on the display screen. To do. For example, the storage unit stores a plurality of work screens that assist the operator's operation on each of the plurality of spectacle devices. For example, the storage unit may be provided in the terminal device, may be provided in the spectacle device, or may be provided in a device different from the terminal device and the spectacle device.

  For example, as a configuration for displaying a plurality of work screens, there is a configuration in which a plurality of work screens are displayed as thumbnails. Further, for example, a plurality of work screens may be displayed so that they can be changed by scrolling. In this case, for example, the work screen may be changed by the operator scrolling the display screen. Note that at least one work screen (for example, one, two, three, etc.) is provided for one spectacle device. For example, the plurality of work screens may be a plurality of work screens for a plurality of eyeglass devices, or may be a work screen for one eyeglass device. In addition, it is good also as a structure by which a work screen is changed with animation (for example, the animation which a page turns, the animation which falls a screen, etc.).

  For example, the work screen is an operation screen during operation of the spectacle device set by the setting unit and a screen for operating the spectacle device set by the setting unit, and accepts an operation from the operator, There is a configuration that is at least one of screens for transmitting an operation signal based on an accepted operation to a set spectacle device. For example, the work screen may be the screen itself displayed on the display unit of the eyeglass device.

  Note that, for example, the work screen may be displayed depending on whether or not the use of the spectacle device has already been completed for the work screen, whether the work screen is displayed, whether the operation is accepted on the work screen, whether the work screen is displayed, etc. May be changed. For example, when the use of the eyeglass device on the work screen has been completed, the display form of the work screen is changed so that the operator can recognize the completion. For example, the change of the display form includes a configuration for changing the color of the display screen (for example, a configuration for displaying the display screen in gray), a configuration for displaying a mark (sign) on the display screen, a configuration for changing the display size, and the like. It is done. For example, when the use of the spectacle device on the work screen has been completed, the acceptance state of the operation on the work screen is changed so that the operator can recognize the completion. For example, changing the operation acceptance state includes a configuration that prohibits input to the work screen by the operator, a configuration that restricts part of the input to the work screen by the operator, and the like. For example, when the use of the spectacle device on the work screen has been completed, the configuration for controlling the presence or absence of the display of the work screen so that the operator can recognize the presence or absence of the completion is as follows. The structure which does not display is mentioned.

  For example, when the work screen as described above is used, the setting unit selects one of the plurality of spectacle devices based on the work screen for at least one spectacle device selected by the selection unit from the plurality of work screens displayed on the display. One spectacle device may be set.

  For example, as a configuration for selecting from a plurality of work screens by a selection unit, there is a configuration in which an operator selects a work screen by scrolling a display. In this case, for example, the operator performs a scroll operation so that the work screen of the spectacle device that the operator wants to use is displayed on the display. Further, for example, as a configuration for selecting from a plurality of work screens by a selection unit, there is a configuration for selecting a work screen by selecting a work screen of an eyeglass device that the operator wants to use from a plurality of work screens displayed as thumbnails. Can be mentioned. In addition, for example, as a configuration in which the selection unit selects from a plurality of work screens, a signal output from the spectacle device is received, and the work screen for the received spectacle device is displayed so that the operator can select. A configuration is mentioned. In this case, for example, the display control unit detects the distance between the terminal device and the plurality of spectacle devices by the distance detection unit, and selects the work screen of the spectacle device according to the distance between the terminal device and the spectacle device. Display (for example, a work screen of the eyeglass device in which the distance between the terminal device and the eyeglass device is equal to or less than a preset distance is displayed). The operator selects a work screen of a device to be used from the displayed work screens. As described above, the spectacle device used by the operator can be set while checking the work screen of each spectacle device, so that the device to be used can be easily recognized. In addition, since a work screen corresponding to each of a plurality of spectacle devices can be confirmed, it is possible to easily grasp an apparatus that has not completed measurement, setting, or the like in eyeglass production.

  For example, the storage means may store a plurality of work screens for a plurality of spectacle devices used in the process until the production of spectacles. That is, each work screen for the spectacle device for performing at least two or more steps (at least two steps out of all spectacles production steps) when producing spectacles is stored as one spectacle production data. Yes. Then, for example, the setting means selects at least one eyeglass device that assists the operation among the plurality of eyeglass devices based on the work screen selected by the selection means from the plurality of work screens stored in the storage means. You may make it set. As described above, since the work screens of a plurality of spectacle devices used for producing spectacles are stored together, even an operator unfamiliar with spectacle production needs to use it when producing spectacles. A certain device can be easily recognized. This makes it possible to produce glasses smoothly.

  For example, the storage unit stores a plurality of work screens and an order between the plurality of work screens set so that the use order of the plurality of spectacle devices is the order used when producing the spectacles. May be. Then, for example, the display control means may display a plurality of work screens on the display screen in the set order. For example, in a configuration in which a plurality of work screens are displayed on the display screen in the set order, when the operator performs a scroll operation on the display screen, the work screens are scrolled in the order of the eyeglass production process. Can be mentioned. Further, for example, a configuration in which a plurality of work screens are displayed on a display screen in a set order includes a configuration in which a plurality of work screens are displayed in a list in the order of eyeglass production steps. In this case, for example, the operator may select a work screen of a desired process from a plurality of work screens displayed in a list. The display control means may enlarge the selected work screen on the display. In this way, the work screen is displayed according to the work sequence when producing eyeglasses, so even an operator unfamiliar with eyeglass production can easily grasp the series of flows when producing eyeglasses. be able to.

  In the configuration in which a plurality of work screens as described above are displayed on the display screen in a set order, the control means is a work process in which the work on the work screen for the spectacle device is not completed in the eyeglass production process. The transmission of the operation signal to the spectacle device from the work screen for the spectacle device used in a later work process may be restricted. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a series of work steps from being erroneously advanced when producing eyeglasses. As a result, the production of glasses can be performed smoothly. Further, even an operator unfamiliar with eyeglass production can easily produce eyeglasses by operating the eyeglass device according to the work screen displayed on the display.

  For example, the terminal device may include a changing unit that changes the work screen. For example, a plurality of work screens stored in the storage means can be changed to any combination of work screens. For example, a configuration in which a plurality of work screens can be changed to an arbitrary combination includes a configuration in which an operator can arbitrarily add or delete work screens. In addition, for example, as a configuration in which a plurality of work screens can be changed to an arbitrary combination, a function of the spectacle device (for example, when the cup mounting device has a lens meter function and a cup mounting function) is read, The control unit may be configured to change the combination of work screens. With such a configuration, it is possible to assist only spectacle equipment, and a desired spectacle production process can be set.

<Device selection function>
For example, the terminal device may select a spectacle device to be used when there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type in a common work process. In this case, for example, the terminal device may be a terminal device for assisting the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices used for producing eyeglasses. For example, it may be a terminal device that assists the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices used to perform the same process in the process of producing glasses. Further, for example, it may be a terminal device that assists the operation of a plurality of different types of spectacle devices that are used to perform different processes in the process of producing glasses.

  In this case, for example, the terminal device includes a communication unit, an acquisition unit (for example, the control unit 70), a setting unit, and a control unit. Note that the same type of spectacle device is not limited to spectacle devices having completely the same configuration (glass device of the same model). For example, what is necessary is just the spectacles apparatus provided with the function for implementing at least the same process. For example, it may be a spectacle device having a different version, or may be a spectacle device in which a part of the configuration is added or deleted.

  In this case, for example, the communication means communicates with a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type used for performing a common process in the process of producing glasses. Of course, it may be configured to communicate with a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type and a plurality of spectacle devices of different types.

  For example, the acquisition unit acquires standby information of a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type. For example, the setting unit sets one spectacle device from a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type as the spectacle device that assists the operation based on the standby information of the acquisition unit. For example, the standby information is information indicating whether or not the spectacle device is in a standby state. That is, the standby information is information indicating whether or not the spectacle device is in a usable state. For example, in the standby state, it indicates that the spectacle device can be used immediately. Further, for example, when not in the standby state, it indicates that the spectacle device is not in a state where it can be used immediately. For example, as a case where the eyeglass device is not usable, there are a case where the eyeglass device is in use, a case where the eyeglass device is turned off, a case where the eyeglass device is broken, and the like.

  For example, as a configuration for acquiring standby information, the acquisition unit acquires standby information by receiving standby information transmitted from a spectacle device. For example, the configuration for acquiring standby information includes a configuration for acquiring standby information by communicating with a spectacle device from a terminal device. More specifically, for example, the acquisition unit acquires the information on the standby state by transmitting a signal for confirming the standby state from the terminal device to each of the plurality of spectacle devices and receiving a reply signal from the spectacle device. You may do it. Further, for example, as a configuration for acquiring the standby information, the spectacle device is connected to the terminal device based on a preset condition (for example, the terminal device and each spectacle device are equal to or less than a preset distance). The standby information is transmitted toward the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the signal transmitted from the eyeglass device to acquire the standby state. Further, for example, as a configuration for acquiring standby information, there is a configuration in which a standby state is acquired by a terminal device receiving a signal transmitted from a spectacle device at a constant time or at a fixed timing. More specifically, for example, as the acquisition unit, each of the plurality of spectacle devices transmits (transmits) a signal indicating whether or not each of the plurality of spectacle devices is in a standby state from the plurality of spectacle devices at a constant timing. The standby information may be acquired depending on whether or not the transmitted signal can be received by the terminal device (for example, when the terminal device is in the standby state, the terminal device transmits the signal at a constant timing or at a fixed timing. For example, a configuration in which a standby state is established when a message is received).

  For example, the setting unit sets at least one spectacle device from a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type as the spectacle device that assists the operation based on the standby information of the acquisition unit. Note that one spectacle device may be set as the spectacle device to be set, or two or more spectacle devices may be set. For example, as a configuration for setting at least one spectacle device from a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type, a configuration in which the setting unit sets a spectacle device in a standby state as a spectacle device for assisting operation based on standby information. Can be mentioned. When a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type are in a standby state, the operation is assisted in a preset order (for example, the order in which the spectacle devices are registered, the order of new versions of the spectacle devices, etc.). You may make it set spectacles equipment. Also, for example, as a configuration for setting one spectacle device from a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type, the spectacle device in a standby state is displayed on the display, and the operator operates the operation means to select the setting. There is a configuration in which the means sets the selected spectacle device as a spectacle device that assists the operation.

  For example, the control means transmits the operation signal input in the terminal device to the eyeglass device set by the setting means by the communication means. In addition, for example, the control unit receives an input signal input in the eyeglass device set by the setting unit by the communication unit.

  As described above, when there are a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type, the eyeglasses that can be used from the plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type by selecting the eyeglass device to be used from the plurality of eyeglass devices from the standby state. Equipment can be easily selected. Thus, the spectacle device can be used smoothly.

  Note that, for example, in a plurality of steps for producing eyeglasses, at least one eyeglass device may be set when at least one step includes a plurality of eyeglass devices. In this case, for example, the terminal device assists the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices used to perform the same process and a plurality of different types of spectacle apparatuses used to perform different processes in the process of producing glasses. Is a terminal device. For example, the communication unit communicates with a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type and a plurality of spectacle devices of different types. For example, when there are a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type in at least one of the work steps (each step) at the time of producing eyeglasses, the acquisition unit stores standby information of the same type of eyeglass devices. To get. Thus, when there are a plurality of spectacle devices in any one of the work steps for producing spectacles, it is possible to easily select spectacle devices that can be used in each work step. Can do. As a result, the production of glasses can be performed smoothly.

  For example, as a configuration for acquiring information on whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type, a determination unit that determines whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices in each step for producing spectacles. The structure to provide is mentioned. In this case, for example, the determination unit may determine by receiving the number of signals transmitted from the eyeglass device for each step in each step. For example, as a configuration for acquiring information on whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type, a configuration in which spectacle devices held by an operator are registered (set) in advance is cited.

  When there are a plurality of spectacle devices in each step, standby information is acquired in each step, and one spectacle device is set in each step. For example, the acquisition means detects whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type in each work process when producing spectacles, and the operation detected that there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type. In the process, standby information of a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type is acquired. For example, the setting unit sets one spectacle device as a spectacle device that assists the operation in each work process when producing spectacles, based on the standby information of the acquisition unit. In this way, since the spectacle equipment to be used is set in each work process for producing spectacles, the operation of each spectacle equipment can be assisted with one terminal device, and each work process can be carried out smoothly. It is possible to go. This makes it possible to produce glasses more smoothly.

  The display control means may display a work screen for assisting the operation of the eyeglass device set by the setting means on the display screen of the terminal device. Thus, by displaying the work screen, it is possible to assist the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices in one terminal device, and the spectacle devices can be used smoothly.

<Handling function of eyeglass production process>
For example, the terminal device may be provided with a configuration capable of taking over in the middle of the eyeglass production process. In this case, for example, the terminal device assists the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices used for performing different processes in the process of producing spectacles. For example, the terminal device includes display control means and communication means.
In this case, for example, the display control means may use a plurality of work screens for assisting an operator's operation for each of the plurality of spectacle devices, and an order of use of the plurality of spectacle devices used when producing the spectacles. The work screen is called from the storage means storing the order between the plurality of work screens set in the above and displayed on the display of the terminal device.

  In this case, for example, when the communication means receives a switching signal for switching the terminal device for assisting the operation of the plurality of eyeglass devices to another terminal device, the work screen displayed on the display until the switching signal is received The work data obtained through the operation of the operator at is transmitted to another terminal device, and the work data transmitted from another terminal device is received.

  For example, the configuration for inputting the switching signal includes a configuration in which the switching signal is transmitted from the switching means provided in the terminal device. In this case, for example, the operator operates a changeover switch for inputting a changeover signal provided in the terminal device (for example, a configuration provided as a part of the terminal device, a configuration displayed on the display of the terminal device). Accordingly, a switching signal may be input. For example, the switching signal may be input when the distance between the first terminal device (this terminal device) and the second terminal device (another terminal device) becomes a preset distance. Further, for example, the configuration for inputting the switching signal includes a configuration in which the switching signal is transmitted from a switching unit provided in another device (for example, eyeglass device, PC, etc.) different from the terminal device. In this case, for example, the switching signal may be input by the operator selecting a switching switch provided in another device.

  For example, the display control unit displays a work screen based on the work data on the display when the work data transmitted from another terminal device is received by the communication unit. By adopting such a configuration, even when handing over work to a different operator in the middle of the eyeglass production work process, it is possible to easily grasp the work process that has been taken over, so the work process can be performed smoothly. Can take over. In addition, it is possible to easily grasp from which work process the operator who has taken over the work process should resume the work. As a result, it is possible to suppress the problem of resuming the work in the wrong work process, and it is possible to carry out the work well.

  For example, the work data obtained through the operation of the operator on the work screen displayed on the display until the switching signal is received is information on the completion of the operation of the operator on the plurality of work screens for each of the plurality of spectacle devices. The structure containing is mentioned. In this case, for example, when the display control unit receives the work data transmitted from another terminal device by the communication unit, the work screen in which the operation is completed among the plurality of work screens based on the work data. The work screen of the subsequent process is displayed on the display. For example, the subsequent step may be a step subsequent to the step corresponding to the work screen for which the operation has been completed in a series of steps of eyeglass production. Further, for example, the subsequent process may be a process after the process corresponding to the work screen for which the operation has been completed in a series of processes for producing glasses. In this way, by displaying the work screen from the process after the completed process, it is possible to easily grasp up to which work process the work has been completed when taking over the work, Thus, it is possible to prevent the operation process that has already been completed from being performed again. This makes it possible to produce glasses smoothly.

  Further, for example, the work data obtained through the operator's operation on the work screen displayed on the display until the switching signal is received is the operator's operation on the work screen for one spectacle device among the plurality of work screens. A configuration including information in the middle of an operation can be mentioned. In this case, for example, when the display control unit receives work data transmitted from another terminal device by the communication unit, the display controller displays a state during operation of the work screen for one spectacle device based on the work data. indicate. In this way, even when taking over while assisting the spectacle device in one step, it is possible to easily take over to another operator. For example, the next operator does not need to start the operation of the eyeglass device from the beginning, and can make eyeglasses smoothly.

  Furthermore, a measuring means (for example, the control unit 70) may be provided in the terminal device. For example, the measuring unit measures the time elapsed from the start timing of the operation by the operator on the work screen displayed on the display of the terminal device. For example, the display control means displays the elapsed time measured by the measuring means on the display. In this way, an operator who takes over to a different operator and an operator who takes over the work from the middle of the eyeglass production work process can check the time since the start of eyeglass production. For example, it is possible to grasp a delay or the like, and for example, it is possible to take a subsequent response in consideration of the time until the completion of eyeglass production, such as preferentially working to recover the delay.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, the control unit 70 serves as a setting unit, a control unit, a display control unit, an acquisition unit, and a measurement unit, but is not limited thereto. For example, different control units may be used for the setting unit, the control unit, the display control unit, the acquisition unit, and the measurement unit.

  A plurality of eyeglass devices may be operated using a plurality of terminal devices. For example, the same eyeglass device may be associated with a plurality of terminal devices. In such a case, the terminal device that has acquired the operation authority first operates the eyeglass device, and the terminal device that has acquired the operation authority later cannot be operated until the operation of the terminal device that has acquired the operation authority first ends. May be.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the apparatus described in this embodiment. For example, terminal control software (program) that performs the functions of the above-described embodiments is supplied to a system or apparatus via a network or various storage media. A control device (for example, a CPU) of the system or device can read and execute the program.

Hereinafter, the terminal device according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a spectacle production system according to the present disclosure. For example, the information processing terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a terminal device) 10 of this embodiment assists the operation of a plurality of eyeglass devices 1 used for producing eyeglasses. More specifically, for example, the terminal device 10 assists the operation of a plurality of eyeglass devices 1 used for performing different processes in the process of producing eyeglasses, for example (see FIG. 1). In addition, for example, the operation of a plurality of eyeglass devices 5a to 5c of the same type used for performing a common process in the process of producing glasses may be assisted (see FIG. 9).

  For example, the spectacle lens processing system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a plurality of spectacle devices 11 and an information processing terminal device (hereinafter, sometimes abbreviated as a terminal device) 10. For example, in the present embodiment, the plurality of spectacle devices 11 include a lens meter 2, a cup attachment device (blocker) 3, a subjective optometry device 4, and a lens processing device (lens edger) 5. Of course, the plurality of spectacle devices 11 are not limited to the spectacle devices. For example, a spectacle frame shape measurement device (tracer), an objective optometry device (eye refractive power measurement device), or the like may be used. Further, for example, the plurality of spectacle devices 11 may be at least two or more spectacle devices. In the present embodiment, the tracer is configured integrally with the blocker 3.

  For example, the lens meter 2, the blocker 3, the subjective optometry apparatus 4, the lens edger 5, and the terminal apparatus 10 may be connected to each other via a communication network. The communication network may be wired or wireless, for example. For example, the eyeglass lens processing system 1 may include a shared server. For example, the shared server may include a control unit and a memory. For example, in the case of a configuration having a shared server, a plurality of spectacle devices 11 and the terminal device 10 may be connected via the shared server. In this case, for example, various data (various programs described later, initial values, work screens, order between work screens, measurement results of a plurality of spectacle devices 11, etc.) may be stored in the memory of the shared server. .

  For example, the lens meter 2 is a device for measuring optical characteristics of a spectacle lens, an optical center of the spectacle lens, and the like. For example, the lens meter 2 includes a measurement optical system (for example, a Shack-Hartmann optical system) 6 and measures at least one of the optical characteristics of the spectacle lens and the optical center of the spectacle lens. Further, the lens meter 2 may be provided with a marking mechanism 7 and may mark the optical center measured by the measuring optical system 6. Of course, the configuration of the lens meter 2 is not limited to the above configuration. Different measurement optical systems may be used.

  For example, the blocker 3 is a device that attaches a cup to a spectacle lens. This cup is used as a jig for holding the spectacle lens by the lens edger 5. For example, the blocker 3 attaches the cup to the spectacle lens with reference to the mark point provided at the optical center of the spectacle lens by the lens meter 2. The blocker 3 includes, for example, a camera 8 and may automatically detect the mark point and attach the cup, or the user may attach the cup according to the position of the mark point on the scale. In the present embodiment, the blocker 3 is provided with a tracer. Of course, a separate tracer may be provided, or another spectacle device (for example, a lens edger) may be provided. For example, a tracer (not shown) is a device for measuring the target lens shape of an eyeglass frame. For example, a tracer (not shown) may place a measuring element (not shown) along the rim of the spectacle frame and measure the lens shape of the spectacle frame based on the trajectory of the measuring element. For example, in this embodiment, the target lens data is acquired by the tracer before the cup is attached to the spectacle lens by the blocker.

  For example, the subjective optometry apparatus 4 is an apparatus for measuring the visual function of both eyes of the subject. For example, the subjective optometry apparatus 4 includes at least one of an optotype presenting unit 13 and a refractor 15 that present an optotype to the subject. The target luminous flux from the target presentation unit 13 is presented to the subject, and the subject is inspected by confirming the presented target through the examination window of the refractor 15. Done. Note that the subjective optometry apparatus may be a subjective optometry apparatus in which an optical member such as an optical element provided in the refractor 15 is disposed inside the target presentation.

  For example, a lens edger (hereinafter abbreviated as an edger) 5 is an apparatus for processing the peripheral edge of a spectacle lens into a lens shape of a spectacle frame. The edger 5 includes a processing tool (for example, a grindstone and a cutter), and processes the peripheral edge of the spectacle lens based on the lens shape data of the spectacle frame acquired by a tracer (not shown).

  For example, in the present embodiment, the terminal device 10 operates a plurality of spectacle devices 11. Of course, the terminal device 11 may simply be configured to display a screen (observation screen) being operated by an operator of the plurality of spectacle devices 1. For example, the terminal device 10 is connected to be able to communicate with a plurality of eyeglass devices 11. For example, the terminal device 10 is connected to the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 by at least one of wireless and wired. Note that the terminal device 10 may be, for example, a tablet PC, a notebook PC, a smartphone, a desktop PC, or the like.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the terminal device 10 according to the present disclosure. For example, the terminal device 10 includes a control unit 70, a communication unit 77, an operation unit 76, a display unit (display) 75, and the like. The control unit 70 is realized by, for example, a general CPU (Central Processing Unit) 71, a ROM 72, a RAM 73, and the like. The CPU 71 of the control unit 70 controls the entire terminal device. The ROM 72 stores various programs for controlling the operation of the terminal device 10, initial values, and the like. The RAM 73 temporarily stores various information. The control unit 70 may be configured by a plurality of control units (that is, a plurality of processors).

  For example, a storage unit (memory) 74, a display unit 75, an operation unit 76, a communication unit 77, and the like are electrically connected to the control unit 70. The storage unit 74 is a non-transitory storage medium that can retain stored contents even when power supply is interrupted. For example, a hard disk drive, a flash ROM, a removable USB memory, or the like can be used as the storage unit 74. For example, the storage unit 74 stores a plurality of work screens that assist an operator's operation on each of a plurality of spectacle devices. More specifically, for example, a plurality of work screens and an order between a plurality of work screens set so that a use order of a plurality of spectacle devices is an order used when producing glasses are stored. . Of course, the storage unit 74 may be configured to store only a plurality of work screens.

  For example, the communication unit 77 communicates with a plurality of spectacle devices 11, for example. For example, the communication unit 77 may perform transmission / reception of radio waves and the like with each spectacle device 1. For example, the communication unit 77 may communicate with the eyeglass device 1 by wireless LAN, infrared communication, WiFi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like. Internet lines may be used. Of course, the communication unit 77 may communicate with each spectacle device 1 through a wired connection such as a USB cable or a LAN cable.

  For example, the display unit 75 displays, for example, a work screen corresponding to each ophthalmic apparatus 1 and a measurement result received from each spectacle device 1. A display of a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”) may be used. A plurality of displays may be used in combination. The display unit 75 may have a touch panel function. The display unit 75 may be a display mounted on the apparatus main body or a display connected to the main body. A display of a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”) may be used. A plurality of displays may be used in combination. The display unit 75 may be a touch panel. Note that when the display unit 75 is a touch panel, the display unit 75 functions as the operation unit 76. In the present embodiment, the display unit 75 is used as the operation unit.

  The operation unit 76 receives various operation instructions from the examiner. The operation unit 76 outputs an operation signal corresponding to the input operation instruction to the control unit 70. For the operation unit 76, for example, at least one of user interfaces such as a touch panel, a mouse, a joystick, and a keyboard may be used. In the present embodiment, the display unit 75 is a touch panel, and the display unit 75 also functions as the operation unit 76.

<Connection between terminal device and eyeglass device>
For example, the eyeglass devices 11 connected to the terminal device 10 each include a communication unit (for example, a communication unit). For example, the lens meter 2 includes a communication unit 15. For example, the blocker 3 includes a communication unit 16. For example, the subjective optometry apparatus 4 includes a communication unit 18 of the optotype presenting unit 13 and a communication unit 19 of the refractor 15. For example, the edger 5 includes a communication unit 17. For example, the communication unit 77 of the terminal device 10 and the communication units 15 to 19 of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 transmit and receive signals. That is, the terminal device 10 transmits an operation signal input in the terminal device 10 to the spectacle device 11. For example, the terminal device 10 receives an input signal input in the eyeglass device 11. Therefore, the operator does not need to perform operations beside each spectacle device 11, and only has to confirm the states and measurement results of the plurality of ophthalmic devices 11 from a remote location using the terminal device 10.

<Work screen display>
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen of the display unit 75. For example, the display screen 75 is displayed on the display unit 75. For example, the display screen 20 may be a work screen (for example, an operation screen or an observation screen) displayed on the display unit of each spectacle device 11. In this case, a work screen of one spectacle device may be displayed, or a plurality of work screens of a plurality of spectacle devices 11 may be displayed. Moreover, the structure by which the some work screen is set with respect to one spectacles apparatus may be sufficient. In addition, for example, the display screen 20 may include an image, a shape, a name, and the like reminiscent of each eyeglass device 11, or a combination thereof.

  For example, in this embodiment, a description will be given by taking as an example a configuration in which a plurality of work screens of a plurality of spectacle devices 11 are displayed on the display screen 20. More specifically, for example, in the present embodiment, a description will be given by taking as an example a configuration in which a plurality of operation areas 21 of a work screen corresponding to a plurality of spectacle devices 11 are displayed on the display screen 20. For example, the control unit 70 displays the operation areas of the work screens corresponding to the different spectacle devices 11 side by side on the display unit 75.

  For example, the operation areas 21a to 21d are displayed in the order of upper left (upper left on the page), upper right, lower right, and lower left so that a plurality of spectacle devices 11 are used in the spectacle production process. That is, the operation areas 21a to 21d are displayed so that the order of use of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 is the order used when producing spectacles. Of course, it is not limited to the above configuration as long as it is displayed so that the operator can recognize the order of the eyeglass production steps. In the present embodiment, the operation areas 21a to 21d are exemplified as a configuration that is displayed so that the use order of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 is the order used when producing the spectacles. It is not limited to. The operation areas 21a to 21d may be configured such that the order of use of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 is not displayed in the order used when producing spectacles. For example, all the operation areas of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 may not be displayed in a list.

  For example, the operation area 21 a is an operation area indicating a first work screen 22 a that assists the operator's operation on the subjective optometry apparatus 4. For example, the operation area 21b is an operation area showing a second work screen 22b that assists the operator's operation on the lens meter 2. For example, the operation area 21c is an operation area showing a third work screen 22c that assists the operator's operation on the blocker 3. For example, the operation area 21d is an operation area indicating a fourth work screen 22d that assists the operator's operation on the edger 5.

  For example, the arrow mark 23 is a mark for indicating the order of the eyeglass production process. By proceeding with the operation of the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 in the order of the arrow marks 23, each process of eyeglass production can be performed in order.

  For example, the operator confirms the states and measurement results of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 by using the operation area 21 displayed on the display unit 75. In addition, when a specific operation input is performed by the operator on the operation area 21 displayed on the display unit 75, one spectacle device is selected from a plurality of spectacle devices 11 according to the process as the spectacle device for assisting the operation. To set. Of course, the configuration for setting one spectacle device from the plurality of spectacle devices 11 according to the process as the spectacle device for assisting the operation is not limited to this. For example, the configuration in which one spectacle device is set from the plurality of spectacle devices 11 according to the process may be a configuration in which an input signal transmitted from the plurality of spectacle devices is received. Further, for example, the configuration may be such that the spectacle devices are set in order according to the order of the spectacle production process.

<Control action>
The operation of the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 using the terminal device 10 as described above will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. For example, the operator uses the terminal device 10 to check the state of the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 and perform measurement support.

  The operator may make a setting (for example, pairing) that associates the terminal device 10 with the plurality of ophthalmic devices 11 before using the plurality of eyeglass devices 11. For example, the control unit 70 may receive radio waves output from the plurality of spectacle devices 11 and store the information (for example, identification signals) in the storage unit 74. Thereby, the control unit 70 can identify radio waves from the plurality of spectacle devices 11.

  For example, the control unit 70 calls the display screen 20 (see FIG. 3) on which a plurality of operation areas 21 corresponding to the plurality of spectacle devices 11 are displayed from the storage unit 74 and displays the display screen 20 on the display unit 75. For example, the operator selects an operation region corresponding to the spectacle device to be used from among the operation regions 21 corresponding to the plurality of spectacle devices 11. For example, the operator selects the operation region 21 of the eyeglass device used by the operator from the display screen 20 by touching the display unit 75. For example, when the operation area 21 is touched by the operator, the display unit 75 detects the touch operation and transmits an operation signal to the control unit 70. For example, the control unit 70 receives an operation signal from the display unit 75.

  The combination of work screens displayed on the display screen stored in the storage unit 74 can be arbitrarily changed. For example, a spectacle device to be used may be selected in advance by the operator, and a work screen corresponding to the selected spectacle device may be stored. Moreover, the signal from the some spectacles apparatus 11 may be received, and the work screen about the received spectacles apparatus may be memorize | stored.

  In the present embodiment, a display screen on which a plurality of operation areas 21 related to a plurality of work screens is displayed is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the work screen of one spectacle device may be displayed on the display screen 20, and the spectacle device to be used may be selected by switching the work screen. In this case, for example, when the operator operates the work screen of a predetermined spectacle device displayed on the display unit 75 (for example, scroll operation, drag operation, etc.), the control unit 70 changes to the work screen for the next spectacle device. You may make it switch. More specifically, for example, the first work screen 22a for the subjective inspection apparatus 4 is displayed as a display screen, and when the operator operates the first work screen 22a, the second work screen 22b for the lens meter 2 is displayed. It will be displayed as a screen. Here, for example, when the operator displays a desired work screen on the display unit 75 and selects a setting switch (not shown), the control unit 70 sets the spectacle device that uses the spectacle device corresponding to the work screen. May be. For example, the operator may display a desired work screen on the display unit 75, and the control unit 70 may be set as a spectacle device that uses a spectacle device corresponding to the displayed work screen.

  For example, the control unit 70 sets one spectacle device from a plurality of spectacle devices according to the process as the spectacle device that assists the operation of the spectacle device corresponding to the selected operation region (S2). For example, the control unit 70 starts control of the subjective optometry apparatus 4 when the operation region 21a is selected.

  For example, the control unit 70 transmits an activation signal to the subjective optometry apparatus 4 (the communication unit 18 of the visual target presenting unit 13 and the communication unit 19 of the refractor 15) by the communication unit 77. For example, when a control unit (not shown) of the subjective optometry apparatus 4 (the target presentation unit 13 and the refractor 15) receives an activation signal from the terminal device 10, the work screen 22a of the subjective optometry apparatus 4 is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 10. A command signal is transmitted so as to be displayed at 75. When receiving the command signal from the control unit of the subjective optometry apparatus 4, the control unit 70 of the terminal device 10 calls the work screen 22a from the storage unit 74 and displays it on the display unit 75 (S3) (see FIG. 5). Of course, each of the plurality of spectacle devices 11 may be provided with a storage unit and a work screen may be stored. In this case, work screen data is transmitted from the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 to the terminal device 10. In addition, a server (including a storage unit) is separately provided, and a signal is transmitted from at least one of the terminal device 10 and the plurality of spectacle devices 11 to the server, and data on the work screen is transmitted from the server to the terminal device 10. It is good also as a structure transmitted.

  For example, the operator confirms the work screen 22a of the subjective optometry apparatus 4 on the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10 and performs an operation. For example, the control unit 70 operates the subjective optometry apparatus 4 by performing an operation input on the work screen 22a (S5). In this case, for example, the work screen 22a is used as an operation screen. For example, the control unit 70 transmits the operation signal input in the terminal device 10 to the subjective optometry apparatus 4 by the communication unit 77. For example, the operator performs a drag operation, a pinch operation, or the like on the work screen 22a, thereby changing the target displayed on the target display unit 13, or changing the optical element installed in the inspection window of the refractor 15. Is done.

  For example, the operator controls the operation of the subjective optometry apparatus 4 by operating the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10 and performs an examination. When the inspection is completed, the operator selects an inspection completion switch without a diagram. When a test completion switch (not shown) is selected, the control unit 70 stores the measurement result measured by the subjective test in the storage unit 74 (S6). Of course, the measurement results obtained by the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 may be transmitted and stored in a storage unit such as another device.

  Next, the control unit 70 again displays the display screen 20 on which a plurality of operation areas 21 of the work screen corresponding to the plurality of spectacle devices 11 are displayed on the display unit 75 (see FIG. 3). The control unit 70 may display the measurement result stored in the storage unit 74 in a part of the corresponding operation area 21 (for example, the operation area 21a in the case of the subjective optometry apparatus 4). .

  Next, when the operator selects the operation area 21b of the work screen 22b of the lens meter 2 used in the next process of eyeglass production, the control unit 70 displays the work screen 22b of the lens meter 2 on the display unit 75. Display (see FIG. 6). Of course, the control unit 70 may automatically display the work screen of the eyeglass device used in the next step in the eyeglass production step.

  For example, when the work screen 22b is displayed, the operator confirms the operation during the operation of the lens meter 2 on the work screen 22b and performs measurement. In this case, for example, the work screen 22b is used as an observation screen. For example, the control unit 70 receives an input signal input in the lens meter 2 by the communication unit 77. For example, the operator performs an operation such as measurement of a spectacle lens in the lens meter 2 while confirming the work screen 22b. For example, the control unit 70 periodically transmits information during operation input in real time in the lens meter 2 as an input signal to the terminal device 10 from the lens meter 2. For example, the information during operation includes an alignment screen of the optical center of the spectacle lens with respect to the measurement optical system of the lens meter 2. In the lens meter 2, the input information may be transmitted to the terminal device 10 when various inputs are made by the operator. By performing such control, a real-time work screen 22 b is displayed on the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10.

  For example, when the measurement by the lens meter 2 is completed, the operator selects a measurement completion switch without a diagram. When a measurement completion switch (not shown) is selected, the control unit 70 causes the storage unit 74 to store the measurement result measured by the lens meter 2.

  Next, the control unit 70 again displays the display screen 20 on which a plurality of operation areas 21 of the work screen corresponding to the plurality of spectacle devices 11 are displayed on the display unit 75 (see FIG. 3). When the operator selects the operation area 21c of the work screen 22c of the blocker 3 used in the next step of eyeglass production, the control unit 70 displays the work screen 22c of the blocker 3 on the display unit 75 (FIG. 7).

  For example, the shape of the spectacle frame is measured by a tracer (not shown) provided in the blocker 3, and the lens shape data of the spectacle frame is acquired. For example, the acquired target lens shape data is displayed on the work screen 22c. For example, the operator confirms the work screen 22c of the blocker 3 on the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10 and performs operations such as setting various parameters. Further, for example, the operator confirms the operation during the operation in the blocker 3 on the work screen 22c of the blocker 3, and makes an adjustment for attaching the cup. In this case, for example, the work screen 22c is used as an operation screen and an observation screen. For example, the control unit 70 transmits an operation signal input in the terminal device 10 to the blocker 3 by the communication unit 77. Note that information acquired in a previous process of the blocker 3 (for example, measurement results in the subjective optometry apparatus 4 and the lens meter 2) may be automatically input to the blocker 3. Of course, the information acquired in the previous process may be input by the operator.

  For example, the operation of the blocker 3 is controlled on the work screen 22c based on information input by various parameters on the work screen 22c. Further, the operator installs the spectacle lens in the blocker 3 while confirming the work screen 22c. For example, when a blocking switch (not shown) is operated by the operator, the blocker 3 performs control to attach the cup to the spectacle lens.

  For example, when the attachment of the cup is completed, the control unit 70 receives a completion signal transmitted from the blocker 3 toward the terminal device 10. For example, when receiving the completion signal, the control unit 70 causes the blocker 3 to store information such as various parameters set in the storage unit 74.

  Next, the control unit 70 again displays the display screen 20 on which a plurality of operation areas 21 of the work screen corresponding to the plurality of spectacle devices 11 are displayed on the display unit 75 (see FIG. 3). When the operator selects the operation area 21d of the work screen 22d of the edger 5 used in the next process of eyeglass production, the control unit 70 displays the work screen 22d of the edger 5 on the display unit 75 (FIG. 8).

  For example, when the work screen 22d is displayed, the operator confirms the work screen 22d on the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10, and sets various parameters (for example, the material setting of the spectacle lens, the finish processing shape setting), and the like. Perform the operation. In this case, for example, the work screen 22b is used as an operation screen. For example, the operation of the edger 5 is controlled on the work screen 22d on the work screen 22d based on information input by various parameters, target lens data, and the like. For example, the operator holds the spectacle lens between the lens chuck shafts of the edger 5. Next, when the operator operates the work screen 22d and operates a processing start switch (not shown), the peripheral processing of the spectacle lens is performed.

  As described above, for example, the operator repeats the apparatus using the terminal apparatus 10 as described above to perform the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG. As a result, the measurement results can be obtained by the plurality of spectacle devices 11 used in the spectacle production process, and the spectacles can be produced.

  Thus, the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices can be assisted by one terminal device, and the production of spectacles can be performed efficiently. In addition, since a plurality of ophthalmic devices 11 can be operated with one terminal device 10, the operator does not necessarily have to be near the spectacle device with respect to all spectacle devices, and can operate and observe from a remote location. .

  In addition, for example, since the operator can set the eyeglass device used while checking the work screen of each eyeglass device, the device to be used can be easily recognized. In addition, for example, since a work screen corresponding to each of a plurality of eyeglass devices can be confirmed, it is possible to easily grasp an apparatus that has not completed measurement, setting, or the like in eyeglass production. In addition, for example, since the work screens of a plurality of spectacle devices used for producing spectacles are stored together, even an operator unfamiliar with spectacle production needs to use it when producing spectacles. A certain device can be easily recognized. This makes it possible to produce glasses smoothly.

  In this embodiment, depending on whether or not the use of the eyeglass device for the work screen has already been completed, the display mode of the work screen, the reception status of the operation on the work screen, the presence or absence of the display of the work screen, etc. You may make it change. In addition, the structure which determines based on whether the measurement result is memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 74 about the presence or absence of the completion of operation using the spectacles apparatus in a work process is mentioned, for example.

  For example, when the use of the eyeglass device on the work screen has been completed, the display form of the work screen is changed so that the operator can recognize the completion. For example, the change of the display form includes a configuration for changing the color of the display screen (for example, a configuration for displaying the display screen in gray), a configuration for displaying a mark (sign) on the display screen, a configuration for changing the display size, and the like. It is done. As an example, for example, when the measurement by the subjective optometry apparatus 4 is completed, there is a configuration in which the operation area 21a (see FIG. 3) is displayed in gray.

  Further, for example, when the use of the eyeglass device on the work screen has been completed, the reception state of the operation on the work screen is changed so that the operator can recognize the completion or not. For example, examples of the configuration for changing the reception state include a configuration for prohibiting input to the work screen by the operator and a configuration for restricting part of the input to the work screen by the operator. More specifically, for example, in the eyeglass production process, the control unit 70 applies to an eyeglass device used in a work process after a work process in which work (for example, a measurement operation) on the work screen for the eyeglass equipment is not completed. You may make it restrict | limit transmission of the operation signal to the spectacles apparatus from a work screen. As an example, for example, when the operation by the lens meter 2 is not completed, the operation by the work screen 22c of the blocker 3 and the work screen 22d of the edger 5 may be prohibited. Note that the restriction may be released when a predetermined operation is performed by the operator.

  Further, for example, when the use of the spectacle device on the work screen has been completed, the configuration for controlling the display of the work screen so that the operator can recognize the presence or absence of the completion is used. A configuration in which the work screen of the device is not displayed is mentioned. As an example, for example, when the measurement by the subjective optometry apparatus 4 has been completed, there is a configuration in which the operation area 21a (see FIG. 3) is not displayed.

  As described above, by providing a configuration for performing change control depending on whether or not the use of the eyeglass device for the work screen is completed, a series of work steps may be erroneously advanced when producing eyeglasses. Can be suppressed. As a result, the production of glasses can be performed smoothly. Further, even an operator unfamiliar with eyeglass production can easily produce eyeglasses by operating the eyeglass device according to the work screen displayed on the display.

  In the present embodiment, when a spectacle device to be used is set, only the work screen of one spectacle device is displayed, and the configuration for operating the spectacle device has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, a plurality of spectacle devices for performing different processes may be selected, and a plurality of work screens for the selected spectacle devices may be displayed on the same screen.

  In the present embodiment, the terminal device 10 may update various settings or software of the plurality of eyeglass devices 11. For example, the control unit 70 may download setting information, update software, and the like of each spectacle device 11 through the Internet line and transmit the setting information to the plurality of spectacle devices 11. The plurality of spectacle devices 11 may update various settings, software, and the like by an update program received from the terminal device 10.

  In this embodiment, for example, an arbitrary image may be displayed as a background image together with the operation area 21 and the like. For example, the control unit 70 may superimpose the operation region 21 on a layout image on which a room wall, a partition, a desk, and the like are drawn. Thereby, the operator can easily grasp the correspondence between the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 displayed on the display unit 75 and the plurality of eyeglass devices 11 in the room where the eyeglass production process is performed. Of course, the control unit 70 may superimpose the operation area 21 on an image captured by a camera (not shown) provided in the terminal device 10.

  Note that the plurality of spectacle devices 11 may include a notification unit. For example, the notification unit may indicate to the operator that the operation will be performed from now on, or may notify the operator of operations, operation errors, occurrences of abnormalities, and the like in the plurality of spectacle devices 11. For example, a display lamp, an audio output unit, or the like may be used as the notification unit. Further, for example, the notification unit may notify the order of the eyeglass work process. In this case, for example, a configuration in which the spectacle device used in the display lamp is notified, a configuration in which guidance is provided by an audio output unit, or the like may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the terminal device 10 may transfer data of a plurality of spectacle devices 11 to an electronic medical record, a filing system, or the like, or may cooperate with each other.

<Selection operation from the same type of eyeglass device>
In the present embodiment, a configuration may be provided in which, when there are a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type in a common step among the steps of producing eyeglasses, the eyeglass device to be used is selected. Hereinafter, a configuration for selecting a spectacle device to be used when there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type in a common process will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a spectacle system in which a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type are present in a spectacle lens processing step. In this embodiment, a case where there are a plurality of edgers 5 will be described as an example. Of course, the technology of the present disclosure can also be applied to other eyeglass devices.

  In the present embodiment, the same type of spectacle device is not limited to spectacle devices having completely the same configuration (the same type of spectacle device). What is necessary is just the spectacles apparatus provided with the function for implementing at least the same process. For example, it may be a spectacle device having a different version, or may be a spectacle device in which a part of the configuration is added or deleted.

  The eyeglass lens processing system 100 illustrated in FIG. 9 includes, for example, a first edger 5a, a second edger 5b, a third edger 5c, and a terminal device 10. In the present embodiment, a configuration including three edgers will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The technology of the present disclosure can be applied as long as the configuration includes a plurality of edgers.

  For example, when there are three edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c in the spectacle lens processing step, the operator selects an edger to be used in the processing step from among the three edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c. At this time, for example, the control unit 70 acquires each edger 5a, 5b, 5c. For example, the control unit 70 displays the standby information acquired for each edger 5a, 5b, 5c on the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10.

  For example, as a configuration for acquiring standby information, the control unit 70 acquires standby information by receiving standby information transmitted from the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c. More specifically, as a configuration for acquiring standby information, for example, the standby information may be acquired by communicating from the terminal device 10 to each edger 5a, 5b, 5c. In this case, for example, the control unit 70 causes the communication unit 77 to transmit a standby information acquisition signal for transmitting the standby information from each of the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c toward the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c. It may be. Each edger 5a, 5b, 5c (communication part of each edger) transmits standby information toward the terminal device 10 when receiving the standby information acquisition signal. The control unit 70 receives the standby information transmitted from each edger 5a, 5b, 5c by the communication unit 77. In addition, as a structure which transmits a standby information acquisition signal from the terminal device 10, it is good also as a structure which transmits a standby information acquisition signal by operation of the terminal device 10 by an operator, for example, and it is good also as preset conditions (for example, terminal The standby information acquisition signal may be automatically transmitted on the basis of the distance between the apparatus 10 and each spectacle device being equal to or less than a preset distance, or the standby information acquisition signal may be transmitted constantly or at a fixed timing. It is good also as a structure which transmits. Of course, the conditions can be set by the operator under arbitrary conditions.

  In more detail, as a configuration for acquiring the standby information, for example, the standby information may be acquired by communicating with each terminal device 10 from each edger 5a, 5b, 5c. In this case, for example, each edger 5a, 5b, 5c (control unit not shown for each edger) has a preset condition (for example, the distance between the terminal device 10 and each spectacle device is equal to or less than a preset distance). Based on the above, the standby information may be transmitted to the terminal device 10 by the communication unit of each edger. Further, for example, each edger 5a, 5b, 5c may transmit standby information from the communication unit of each edger 5a, 5b, 5c at all times or at a constant timing. The control unit 70 receives the standby information transmitted from each edger 5a, 5b, 5c by the communication unit 77. At this time, in the terminal device 10, the control unit 70 may display the display unit 75 so as to allow the operator to select whether or not to allow reception of standby information.

  For example, the control unit 70 displays information indicating whether or not each edger 5a, 5b, 5c can be used as standby information. For example, in the standby state, it indicates that each edger 5a, 5b, 5c can be used immediately. Further, for example, when not in a standby state, it indicates that each edger 5a, 5b, 5c is not in a state where it can be used immediately. For example, when each edger 5a, 5b, 5c is not in a usable state, each edger 5a, 5b, 5c is already in use, each edger 5a, 5b, 5c is powered off, When edger 5a, 5b, 5c is out of order, etc. are mentioned. For example, the standby information is acquired by a control unit (not shown) of each edger 5a, 5b, 5c. For example, the control unit (not shown) of each edger 5a, 5b, 5c is based on whether or not the edger is driven. get.

  In this embodiment, the case where the standby information is transmitted from each edger 5a, 5b, 5c is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The terminal device 10 may be configured to acquire standby information. For example, when the terminal device 10 cannot receive the standby information from the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c (for example, when the edger is turned off), the edger 5a, 5b, and 5c. May not be usable, and the determined information may be handled as standby information.

  For example, the control unit 70 displays the standby information in each of the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c on the display unit 75 using the standby information from each of the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c. The operator selects the edger to be used by confirming the standby information. When the edger is selected by the operator, the control unit 70 sets the selected edger as a spectacle device that assists the operation. Note that at least one or more spectacle devices can be set as the spectacle device to be set. In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the edger that assists the operation is set by the operation of the operator is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 70 may be configured to set one spectacle device from each of the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c as the edger that assists the operation based on the standby information. As an example, for example, the control unit 70 may set an edger that automatically assists the operation among the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c based on the standby information.

  In this embodiment, when two or more of the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c are in a standby state (a state in which they can be used immediately), the control unit 70 is set in advance. An eyeglass device that assists the operation may be set based on the condition. As an example, for example, a configuration in which the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c are set in the registered order may be used. Further, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which the order of new versions of the edgers 5a, 5b, and 5c is set (for example, when the first edger 5a is the latest version, the first edger 5a has priority). .

  As described above, when there are a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type, the eyeglasses that can be used from the plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type by selecting the eyeglass device to be used from the plurality of eyeglass devices from the standby state. Equipment can be easily selected. Thus, the spectacle device can be used smoothly.

  In the present embodiment, the case where a plurality of eyeglass devices exist in one step has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when there are a plurality of spectacle devices in a plurality of steps (two or more steps) for producing spectacles, at least one spectacle device is set in each step in which a plurality of spectacle devices exist. It may be. More specifically, for example, a configuration may be provided that detects information on whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type in each step. Then, when there are a plurality of eyeglass devices, the above-described standby information may be acquired and the selection may be controlled. For example, as a configuration for detecting whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices, there is a configuration in which determination means for determining whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices is provided in each step for producing spectacles. It is done. In this case, for example, the determination unit (for example, the control unit 70) may determine the number of signals transmitted from the eyeglass device for each process by receiving the number of signals in each process. Further, for example, a configuration for detecting information on whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type includes a configuration for acquiring in advance registration (setting) information of spectacle devices held by an operator. Thus, when there are a plurality of spectacle devices in any one of the work steps for producing spectacles, it is possible to easily select spectacle devices that can be used in each work step. Can do. As a result, the production of glasses can be performed smoothly.

  This will be described in more detail. For example, when there are a plurality of eyeglass devices in each of the eyeglass production steps, standby information is acquired in each step, and at least one eyeglass device is set in each step. For example, the control unit 70 detects whether or not there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type in each work process when producing spectacles, and detects that there are a plurality of spectacle devices of the same type. In the work process, standby information of a plurality of eyeglass devices of the same type is acquired. For example, based on the standby information, the control unit 70 sets at least one spectacle device as a spectacle device that assists the operation in each work process when producing spectacles. In this way, since the spectacle equipment to be used is set in each work process for producing spectacles, the operation of each spectacle equipment can be assisted with one terminal device, and each work process can be carried out smoothly. It is possible to go. This makes it possible to produce glasses more smoothly.

  For example, the control unit 70 displays a work screen that assists the operation of the set spectacle device on the screen of the display unit 75 of the terminal device 10. Thus, by displaying the work screen, it is possible to assist the operation of a plurality of spectacle devices in one terminal device 10, and the spectacle devices can be used smoothly.

<Work process handover function>
In the present embodiment, for example, a configuration may be provided in which the terminal device 10 can take over during the eyeglass production process. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a handover operation between terminal devices.

  For example, a case where work data is transferred from the terminal device 10a held by the operator A to the terminal device 10b held by the operator B will be described as an example. For example, before taking over, a plurality of spectacle devices are used by the operator A and a process of producing spectacles is performed. For example, the operator A uses a plurality of spectacle devices using the terminal device 10a to perform a spectacle production process. For example, the control unit 70a of the terminal device 10a calls the work screen from the storage unit 74a in which the order between the plurality of work screens and the plurality of work screens is stored, and displays the work screen on the display unit 75a of the terminal device 10a. The operator A performs an operation using a plurality of spectacle devices using a plurality of work screens for the plurality of spectacle devices.

  FIG. 10 shows a state in which the operator A has completed the measurement by the subjective optometry apparatus 4, for example. For example, the operation areas 21a to 21d are displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 10a used by the operator A. For example, since the measurement on the work screen 22b of the subjective optometry apparatus 4 has been completed, the operation area 21a (work screen 22a) is displayed with the measurement completed (in this embodiment, hatched). . That is, as the work by the operator A, only the measurement process by the subjective optometry apparatus 4 is completed.

  Here, for example, when handing over to the operator B, work data is transmitted from the terminal device 10a to the terminal device 10b. Of course, the configuration may be such that the work data is transmitted to the terminal device 10b via another device (for example, eyeglass device, server, PC, etc.).

  For example, the operator A selects a terminal changeover switch (takeover switch) (not shown) of the terminal device 10a. When a terminal switching switch (not shown) is selected, the switching means (for example, the control unit 70a) transmits (transmits) a switching signal for switching the terminal device for assisting the operation of the plurality of eyeglass devices to another terminal device. . When receiving the switching signal, the control unit 70a uses the communication unit 77 to transmit the work data obtained through the operator's operation on the work screen displayed on the display unit 75a until the switching signal is received, to the terminal device 10b. Send to. For example, the work data obtained through the operation of the operator on the work screen displayed on the display until the switching signal is received is information on the completion of the operation of the operator on the plurality of work screens for each of the plurality of spectacle devices. Is included.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the control unit 70a of the terminal device 10a is also used for transmitting and receiving the switching signal has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a switching signal transmission / reception unit may be provided separately. In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the switching signal is transmitted when the terminal switching switch is operated by the operator is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the switching signal may be transmitted when the distance between the terminal device 10a and the terminal device 10b becomes a preset distance. Further, for example, a configuration for transmitting a switching signal includes a configuration in which a terminal switching switch provided in another device (for example, a spectacle device, a server, a PC, etc.) different from the terminal device 10a is used. In this case, for example, the switching signal may be transmitted when the operator selects a change-over switch provided in another device.

  For example, when the control unit 70b of the terminal device 10b receives work data transmitted from the terminal device 10a by the communication unit 77b, the control unit 70b displays a work screen based on the work data on the display unit 75b. More specifically, for example, the control unit 70b calls the work screen from the storage unit 74b in which the order between the plurality of work screens and the plurality of work screens is stored. The control unit 70b reflects the work data received from the terminal device 10a on the called work screen and updates the work screen. The control unit 70b displays the updated work screen on the display unit 75b. In the present embodiment, as a configuration for taking over the screen, a configuration in which the work screen received from the terminal device 10a is reflected on the work screen called from the storage unit 74b and the work screen is updated is taken as an example. Although described, it is not limited to this. For example, the terminal device 10b may store the work data received from the terminal device 10a in the storage unit 74b and display the received work data on the display unit 75b.

  For example, a display screen having a work screen similar to that of the display unit 75a of the terminal device 10a is displayed on the display unit 75b of the terminal device 10b. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the display screen 20b of the terminal apparatus 10b before the handover process is performed is changed to a display screen similar to the display screen 20a of the terminal apparatus 10a after the handover process. For example, the operation area 21a of the display screen 20b is changed to a display state of measurement completion. That is, the operation area 21a of the terminal device 10b is hatched and the work screen 22a is displayed with the measurement result input. In addition, the storage unit 74b of the terminal device 20b uses the work screen 22a of the operation area 21a of the terminal device 10b for the measurement result measured by the subjective inspection device 4 by using the work screen 22a of the terminal device 10a. Thus, the measurement result measured by the subjective optometry apparatus 4 is stored.

  The operator B confirms the updated display screen 20b of the terminal device 10b and takes over the work in the eyeglass production process. By adopting such a configuration, even when handing over work to a different operator in the middle of the eyeglass production work process, it is possible to easily grasp the work process that has been taken over, so the work process can be performed smoothly. Can take over. In addition, it is possible to easily grasp from which work process the operator who has taken over the work process should resume the work. As a result, it is possible to suppress the problem of resuming the work in the wrong work process, and it is possible to carry out the work well.

  In the present embodiment, after the takeover, the display screen 20b on which the work screen of each process is displayed is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a work screen for a process of resuming work after taking over may be displayed. In this case, for example, a work screen 22b for using the lens meter 2 may be displayed. This will be described in more detail. For example, when the control unit 70b receives work data transmitted from the terminal device 10a by the communication unit 77b, based on the work data, the control unit 70b includes a plurality of work screens after the work screen for which the operation has been completed. The process work screen is displayed on the display unit 75b. For example, in the present embodiment, the control unit 70b displays the work screen 22b of the process after the work screen 22a for which the operation has been completed on the display unit 75b. In the present embodiment, as an example of a subsequent process, a configuration in which the work screen 22b of the next process after the process corresponding to the work screen 22a for which the operation has been completed is displayed in the series of eyeglass production processes will be described. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the subsequent steps are steps after the step corresponding to the work screen for which the operation has been completed in a series of steps of eyeglass production (for example, a step using the work screen 22c, a step using the work screen 22d, etc.). Also good. In this way, by displaying the work screen from the process after the completed process, it is possible to easily grasp up to which work process the work has been completed when taking over the work, Thus, it is possible to prevent the operation process that has already been completed from being performed again. This makes it possible to produce glasses smoothly.

  In the present embodiment, after the takeover, the display screen 20b on which the work screen of each process is displayed is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a work screen on which work has been completed may be displayed. In this case, for example, a work screen 22a for using the subjective optometry apparatus 4 may be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the work data includes information on the completion of the operation of the operator on the plurality of work screens for each of the plurality of spectacle devices has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the work data may be configured to include information during the operation of the operator on the work screen for one spectacle device among the plurality of work screens. For example, the information in the middle of operation includes measurement results measured until the middle of operation, a work screen in operation, and the like. In this case, for example, when the control unit 70b receives the work data transmitted from the terminal device 10a by the communication unit 77b, the display unit displays a state during operation of the work screen for one spectacle device based on the work data. 75b. Of course, in the display screen 20b having a plurality of work screens, a state in the middle of an operation may be displayed with respect to a work screen in the middle of the operation among the plurality of work screens. In this way, even when taking over while assisting the spectacle device in one step, it is possible to easily take over to another operator. For example, the next operator does not need to start the operation of the eyeglass device from the beginning, and can make eyeglasses smoothly.

  In addition, in a present Example, you may provide the structure which measures the time which passed since the start timing of operation by the operator of the work screen displayed on the display part 75a of the terminal device 10a in the terminal device 10a. For example, the control unit 70a measures the time elapsed from the start timing of the operation by the operator on the work screen displayed on the display of the terminal device. For example, the control unit 70a displays the measured elapsed time on the display unit 75a. In this way, an operator who takes over to a different operator and an operator who takes over the work from the middle of the eyeglass production work process can check the time since the start of eyeglass production. For example, it is possible to grasp a delay or the like, and for example, it is possible to take a subsequent response in consideration of the time until the completion of eyeglass production, such as preferentially working to recover the delay.
