[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a transaction system that provides a multi-piece substrate in which a plurality of piece parts are included in one substrate from a provider to a provider , and an information processing apparatus that is used in the transaction system .
[0002]
[Prior art]
As the wiring board, there is a multi-piece board in which a plurality of piece parts are included in one board. In general, a multi-piece board includes a frame part for holding each piece part and handling it as a whole board in addition to a piece part that incorporates a circuit or the like and is actually incorporated into a final product. Conventionally, it has been common to manufacture each piece part and the entire frame part integrally and provide them to the supplier.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional method for providing a multi-piece substrate has the following problems. That is, the frame part of the multi-piece substrate is not the final product. Since such a part was manufactured integrally, the utilization efficiency of raw materials was bad. This also meant that the frame part became a large amount of waste at the supplier. In addition, when the plate thickness is reduced, the strength of the entire multi-piece substrate is lowered, and there is a problem that warpage and twisting are likely to occur. In addition, depending on the specifications of the piece part itself and variations in the overall shape of the frame part, it has been necessary to design a process for a very large variety of multi-piece substrates.
[0004]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art. That is, the problem is to provide an information processing device and transaction system that can efficiently use raw materials, set the overall strength regardless of the thickness of the piece, and meet various demands with minimal manufacturing variations. There is.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The information processing apparatus according to solve this problem the present invention made for the purpose includes a plurality of piece parts, a provider of the information processing apparatus to provide a multi-piece substrate and a frame portion for holding them, provided Component storage means for storing information of the frame part and piece part and the combination thereof originally held, and the frame part and piece part that can be provided by the provider, and combinations thereof are displayed based on the information of the component storage means. An order that provides an inventory screen providing means for providing an inventory screen to an information processing apparatus of a provider and an order screen that gives an opportunity to order a combination of multi-piece substrates displayed on the inventory screen to the information processor of the provider And a screen providing means. In the information processing apparatus of the present invention, it is only necessary to have an inventory for each of the frame part and the piece part, and it is not necessary to have an inventory for the entire multi-piece substrate. Further, the combination of the frame portion and the piece portion only needs to be physically combined, and can be easily handled even with a new combination.
[0006]
When implementing this method of providing a multi-piece substrate, a network technology is used to display a combination of a frame part and a piece part that can be provided to the provider on the display screen of the provider, and many combinations are displayed. An opportunity to order a piece substrate may be given to the provider, and the combination of multi-piece substrates may be provided to the provider in accordance with the order from the provider. In this way, the supplier can easily place an order while confirming the combination of the frame part and piece part available on his screen. For this purpose, it is desirable to provide a database that records the possibility of combining the frame part and the piece part, and a database that records the availability of each provision destination.
[0007]
Here, it is desirable to give an opportunity for ordering a multi-piece board to the supplier after displaying the number of empty frame portions that can be provided to the supplier on the display screen of the supplier. The “free number” of the frame part is the number of stocks of the frame part on the provider side. In other words, when accepting a new order from a provider, an order can be immediately received if it is within the range of available numbers. On the other hand, some measures are required for the quantity exceeding the vacant quantity. The delivery time will be extra. Of course, this is a great concern from the perspective of the provider. In other words, by presenting together the information on the number of vacancies, it is possible to indicate to the provider the range where orders can be easily received.
[0008]
Here, an opportunity to instruct that the frame portion that can be provided to the provider should be additionally manufactured may be given to the provider. If there are not enough free space, the shortage can be compensated by such means.
[0009]
In the method for providing a multi-piece board according to another aspect of the present invention, the remaining frame part obtained by removing the piece part from the multi-piece board at the providing destination is collected at the provider, and the collected frame part is reused. The new multi-piece substrate to be supplied to the supplier. Further, as described above, if a combination of a frame part and a piece part that can be provided is presented to the supplier and an order is placed, the efficiency of order reception is also realized.
[0010]
That is, in this method, an empty frame part generated at the supplier is collected by the supplier and reused as a frame part of a newly manufactured multi-piece substrate. As a result, the frame part can be used repeatedly without making it waste. Here, the reuse may be performed by using the collected frame part as it is and attaching a new piece part to the vacant land from which the piece part has been removed. And a multi-piece substrate method.
[0011]
In this case, when presenting a frame part and piece part that can be provided and combinations thereof to the provider, the number of unrecovered frame parts provided to the provider is displayed on the display screen of the provider. It is desirable. In particular, when the above-described number of empty spaces is insufficient, the number of empty spaces increases correspondingly if the frame portion existing on the provider side is collected by the provider. Therefore, by presenting the number of uncollected items to the provider, it is possible to encourage the provider to take measures that enable early collection.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present embodiment, a multi-piece board is provided to an assembly manufacturer (ordering manufacturer, hereinafter referred to as “customer”) in a remote location by a board manufacturer (order-receiving manufacturer, hereinafter referred to as “provider”). The providing method according to the present invention is applied to an electronic transaction system to be sold.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 1, the system according to the present embodiment includes a PC terminal 4 of an assembly manufacturer 1 as a customer and a PC terminal 5 of a board manufacturer 2 as a provider. Both PC terminals 4 and 5 are connected by a public line 3. The assembly manufacturer 1 can order a multi-piece substrate from the substrate manufacturer 2 using the PC terminal 4. The board manufacturer 2 grasps the order received using the PC terminal 5 and manufactures a multi-piece board. There may be multiple assembly manufacturers.
[0014]
Next, the operation of this system will be described. The customer PC terminal 4 and the provider PC terminal 5 are commercially available ordinary personal computers. The provider prepares various screen data to be displayed on the customer's PC terminal 4 or the own PC terminal 5. Then, information on the frame parts and piece parts of the multi-piece board possessed by the board manufacturer 2 or the order status is held in advance in a database or the like. The PC terminal 4 can display a display screen for ordering by accessing the PC terminal 5. Then, based on the displayed information, the person in charge of the assembly maker 1 inputs the necessary number of frames and pieces of the board and transmits them to the board manufacturer 2. This is an order. Next, the PC terminal 5 that has received the data adds it to its own order database, and transmits to the PC terminal 4 that the order has been received. This completes an order for a multi-piece substrate.
[0015]
A multi-piece substrate is a substrate in which a single frame includes a plurality of pieces. FIG. 2 is an external view of a multi-piece substrate. In the case of FIG. 2, four pieces 7 are included in one frame 6. Usually, all the pieces contained in one frame are of the same kind. However, it does not prevent the inclusion of different kinds of pieces.
[0016]
Next, a method for ordering a multi-piece substrate will be described based on a specific display screen. The screen described below is displayed on the customer's PC terminal 4. First, FIG. 3 is a top screen that is displayed when an order for a multi-piece substrate is made to the substrate manufacturer 2. Here, it is selected whether or not there is user registration, that is, whether or not the provider is authenticated as a customer. If there is user registration, click the “Registered User” button with the mouse. If there is no user registration, click the “New User” button. When the “registered user” button is clicked, a password input screen (FIG. 4) is displayed, and when the “new user” button is clicked, a user registration screen (FIG. 11) is displayed. As a selection method, in addition to clicking with a mouse, a button may be pressed if the PC has a touch panel function. When placing an order from a foreign country, click the location where the text “English page” is displayed with an underline. As a result, the following display screens shown in FIGS. 3 to 15 are displayed in English, and can be used by a personal computer that cannot display Japanese or a user who does not understand Japanese.
[0017]
Next, the display screen after the “registered user” button is clicked in FIG. 3 will be described. First, the user ID and password are requested for user identification. FIG. 4 is a screen for inputting a user ID and a password. On this screen, it is also possible to select whether the display on the inventory status display screen described later is displayed with the frame part name (FIG. 5) or the product name (FIG. 9). After inputting the user ID and password and selecting the display on the inventory status display screen, click the location where the text “Proceed” is displayed with an underline. When the “forward” character is clicked, the entered user ID and password are transmitted to the providing PC terminal 5. Then, the providing PC terminal 5 that has received the data collates the information in its own database. If it is a registered user ID and password, the customer's inventory status display screen (FIG. 5 or FIG. 9) is displayed on the customer's PC terminal 4. If the user ID and password are not registered as a result of collation, the user ID and password are requested again (FIG. 4).
[0018]
Next, the inventory status display screen will be described. FIG. 5 is an inventory status display screen when “select by frame” is selected on the screen of FIG. On the inventory status display screen, frame names registered in advance for the user are listed. Then, for each frame name, the number of undelivered orders received (our work in progress), the number of stocks on the assembly manufacturer 1 side (delivery not yet returned), and the number of stocks on the board manufacturer 2 side (number of empty frames) are displayed. . Thereby, the assembly manufacturer 1 can grasp the stock status of the frames at the board manufacturer, and can be used as a reference when placing an order. For example, when a new order is placed, an order can be received immediately if it is within the range of available frames. On the other hand, if the number of empty frames is exceeded, some measure is necessary. In addition, if there is an unreturned delivered item, an empty frame can be secured by returning it.
[0019]
Further, by double-clicking the place where the frame name is displayed together with the underline, the detailed screen for the frame name (FIG. 6) is displayed. In this screen, product names in which the selected frame name “frame #” is used are listed. The same items as in FIG. 5, the number of undelivered orders received (our work in progress), the number of stocks on the assembly manufacturer 1 side (undelivered delivered), and the number of stocks on the board manufacturer 2 side (number of empty frames) Display for each product name. As a result, the assembly manufacturer 1 can grasp the order status of each product for the frame, and can perform more detailed examination.
[0020]
Next, double-clicking the part where the product name is displayed with an underline on the frame detail screen (FIG. 6) displays the estimate screen (FIG. 7). On this screen, the quantity, delivery date, and price that can be ordered are displayed based on the frame name and product name. The price depends on the delivery date, and the shorter the delivery date, the higher the price. On this screen, the inventory manager of the assembly manufacturer 1 inputs the quantity required for ordering. When you have completed the required input, click where the “Order” text is displayed with an underscore. If you want to create an additional frame, click the location where the text “This frame property” is displayed with an underline to display the frame property screen and place an additional order for the frame. This completes the ordering work.
[0021]
There are three possible measures that can be taken when the number of empty frames is insufficient in this embodiment. First, the first measure is to return an unreturned frame. The number of unreturned frames can be confirmed on the above-described inventory status display screen (FIGS. 5 and 9). For example, among the delivered non-returned parts in FIG. The second measure is to use a substitute for the frame. In this case, a list of other frames on which the selected product can be mounted is displayed, and another frame is selected from the list. FIG. 8 is a screen that displays a list of frames that can be currently provided. This screen displays a list of frames that can be used as substitutes. There are two types of frames displayed here: a frame used in common for all customers and a frame used exclusively for the customer. The assembly manufacturer 1 can examine the size, shape, number of pieces, material, and thickness of the displayed frame and select a substitute frame. At that time, if you double-click the place where the frame name is displayed with an underline, you will be taken to the detailed specification screen. On the screen, it is possible to operate whether the selected frame is used as it is or modified. If it is modified, the modified frame can be newly registered. Also, by clicking on the place where the text “Create New” is displayed with an underline, you can move to a screen for creating and registering a completely new frame. Here, “new registration” refers to requesting the provider to create a new frame. The third measure is to order additional production of the frame. The ordering method can be performed on the frame property screen as described above.
[0022]
Next, returning to FIG. 4, the inventory status display screen (FIG. 9) when “select by product” is selected will be described. The difference from the inventory status display screen (FIG. 5) when “select by frame” is selected is that product names registered in advance for the user are listed. For each product name, the number of undelivered orders received (our work in progress), the number of stocks on the assembly manufacturer 1 side (delivery not returned), and the number of stocks on the board manufacturer 2 side (number of empty frames) are displayed. However, this is the same as FIG. As a result, the assembly manufacturer 1 can grasp the stock status of each product of the board manufacturer and can be used as a reference when placing an order. Also, by double-clicking on the part where the characters “From frame name” are displayed with an underline, it is possible to switch to the inventory status display screen (FIG. 5) for each frame name. Conversely, it is also possible to switch to FIG. 9 by double-clicking the portion where the characters “From Product Name” in FIG. 5 are displayed together with the underline.
[0023]
Further, by double-clicking the product name, a detailed screen (FIG. 10) for the product name is displayed. In this screen, the frame names used by the selected product name “pro #” are listed. Then, the same items as in FIG. 9, the number of undelivered orders received (our work in progress), the number of stocks on the assembly manufacturer 1 side (not returned after delivery), and the number of stocks on the board manufacturer 2 side (number of empty frames) Display for each product name. As a result, the assembly manufacturer 1 can grasp the order status of each product for the frame, and can perform more detailed examination. Furthermore, when the frame name is double-clicked, an estimate screen (FIG. 7) is displayed. Hereinafter, an order can be placed according to FIG.
[0024]
Next, returning to FIG. 3, the display screen (FIG. 11) after the “new user” button is clicked will be described. FIG. 11 shows a screen for inputting information necessary for user registration. Information necessary for user registration is information essential for online trade such as a company name, department name, location, person in charge, and trading account. When you have entered all the information, click where the “forward” character is displayed with an underline. Thus, all the operations for user registration are completed, and the input information is transmitted to the PC terminal 5 as the provider. When the work is finished, the customer's PC terminal 4 displays the confirmation screen of FIG.
[0025]
The provider who received the information registers new user information in its own database as soon as it is authenticated. When the registration work is completed, the fact, the user ID, and the password are notified in writing. Thereby, at the next access, it becomes possible to place an order for the board with the registered user ID and password.
[0026]
Next, order management at the board manufacturer will be described. The screen described below is displayed on the PC terminal 5 as the provider. First, a frame product order and manufacturing status list screen (FIGS. 13, 14, and 15) for confirming the entire order status is displayed. This screen has items for displaying the user ID, product name, frame name, number of devices in progress, delivery date, number of uncollected frames, number of free frames, and progress for each lot ID (identifier attached to each order). Yes. The display order is determined by the registration number of the lot ID. However, the items can be rearranged by clicking the portion where the characters of each item are displayed together with the underline. As a result, the display order can be changed to the order of items focused on by the administrator, and the order status can be easily grasped. Moreover, the command screen of the lot can be displayed by clicking the portion where the characters of each lot ID are displayed together with the underline. The command screen here is a screen having an e-mail function for informing a supplier or manufacturing site of progress or the like.
[0027]
As described above in detail, in the electronic transaction system for selling the multi-piece substrate according to the present embodiment, the combination of the frame part and the piece part that can be provided to the customer using the public line 3 is provided. The information is displayed on the display screen of the customer's PC terminal 4. Then, the assembly manufacturer 1 that is the customer orders the multi-piece board of the displayed combination, and the board manufacturer 2 that is the provider supplies the multi-piece board of the combination in accordance with the order from the customer. We are going to provide it first. As a result, the provider need only have inventory for each of the frame portion and the piece portion, and does not need to have inventory for the entire multi-piece substrate.
[0028]
Also, by displaying the number of empty frames, it is possible to indicate to the customer the range in which orders can be easily received. Here, an opportunity is given to instruct that the frame part that can be provided to the customer should be additionally manufactured. For this reason, when the number of empty frames is insufficient, the shortage can be compensated. In addition, a list of substitutes for the frame part is displayed at the customer. As a result, the customer can be encouraged to take measures that enable early delivery. In addition, the number of unrecovered frame portions provided to the customer is displayed on the display screen of the customer. If the above-mentioned empty number is insufficient, the empty number will increase if the frame part that has not been collected on the customer side is collected to the provider. As a result, it is possible to encourage the customer to take measures that can be collected early.
[0029]
Note that this embodiment is merely an example, and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention can naturally be improved and modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof. For example, screen data to be displayed on the customer's PC terminal 4 can be installed as an application in the customer's PC terminal 4 instead of being held in the provider's PC terminal 5, and an order can be received through the application. . Also, unauthorized access can be prohibited by a known security technology such as a firewall.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the raw material can be used efficiently, the overall strength can be set regardless of the thickness of the piece portion, and the information processing apparatus can meet various demands with the minimum manufacturing variation. And a trading system can be provided.
