1-3. Configuration of Information Processing Device FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 1. The information processing device 1 has a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The information processing device 1 may have a display unit for displaying an image and an operation unit for receiving an operation.

Further, the storage unit 12 stores the relationship DB 121, the change RB 122, and the history DB 123. The storage unit 12 may store the competition table 124.

The relationship DB 121 is a database that stores relationships between a plurality of parts constituting the above-mentioned product. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining a product composed of a plurality of parts. For example, the product "J01" shown in FIG. 4 has a part "P10" including a part "P01", a part "P02", a part "P03", a part "P04", and a part "P05". Further, it has a component "P06".

The above-mentioned parts "P01" to "P04" are mounted on the part "P05", and these are integrated to form the part "P10". For example, the component "P01" is a sensor, the component "P04" is a cable, and the component "P05" is a substrate.

Since the component "P01" and the component "P04" are both mounted on the component "P05", the load of the component "P01" and the component "P04" is applied to the component "P05", respectively. That is, the relationship between the component "P01" and the component "P05" is that the component "P01" is "supported" by the component "P05". The relationship between the component "P04" and the component "P05" is also such that the component "P04" is "supported" by the component "P05".

The component "P06" is a frame, on which the component "P05" is mounted. Therefore, the load of the component "P05" is applied to the component "P06". That is, the component "P05" is "supported" by the component "P06".

The relationship DB 121 adds identification information to this "supported" relationship and stores the relationship between the parts.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship DB 121. The relationship DB 121 has a product list 1211 and a relationship list 1212. The product list 1211 is a list for storing the identification information of the products handled by the relation DB 121. The relationship list 1212 is a list that stores the relationships of a plurality of parts constituting the product for each product identification information stored in the product list 1211. The relationship list 1212 is provided with three columns, "main part", "subordinate part", and "relationship".

The product list 1211 shown in FIG. 5 stores "J01" and "J02" as product identification information. The relationship list 1212 associated with the product "J01" stores the relationships between the plurality of parts constituting the product. The relationship list 1212 stores, for example, the relationship between the main component “P01” and the slave component “P05” as “R02”. This relationship "R02" is the identification information indicating the above-mentioned "supported" relationship. That is, in this case, the relation DB 121 stores that the main component "P01" is "supported" by the slave component "P05" in the product "J01".

Further, the component "P10" includes the component "P01" to the component "P05" as constituent elements. That is, any component from the component "P01" to the component "P05" is included in the component "P10". This "included" relationship is indicated by the identification information "R04" in the relationship DB 121 shown in FIG. Therefore, in the relationship list 1212 associated with the product "J01", for example, the relationship "R04" is stored in association with the pair of the main component "P01" and the slave component "P10".

The relationship shown in the relationship DB 121 is not limited to the relationship related to gravity such as "supporting" and "supported" and the inclusion relationship such as "included" and "included", and is related to other characteristics. May be good. The relationship shown in the relationship DB 121 may be related to electromagnetics such as "supplying power", "insulating", and "forming a magnetic field", and may be "conveying paper", "sending air", and "sucking". It may be related to the movement or heat transfer of an object such as "heating" and "cooling".

Further, the relationship shown in the relationship DB 121 may be predetermined to indicate that the main component and the slave component are the same component. For example, in FIG. 5, the relationship “R00” is identification information indicating that the main component and the slave component are the same component. Further, the relational DB 121 may have a plurality of slave parts.

The change RB 122 is a rule base that stores the rules of change that occur in the slave parts due to changes to the main parts in the relationship for each relationship between the parts. That is, the change RB 122 stores predetermined rules regarding the relationship between the main component and the slave component, the change to the main component, and the change that occurs in the slave component.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the change RB 122. The change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6 includes a “change” indicating a change to the main part, a “relationship” indicating the relationship between the main part and the slave part, and a “change” indicating the change caused in the slave part due to the above-mentioned change. There are two columns.

For example, in the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6, when the relationship between the main component and the slave component is indicated by the identification information "R02", the change indicated by the identification information "T01" is made to the main component. It is stored in the slave component that the change indicated by the identification information "T03" occurs.

For example, "T01" means a change of "thinning", and "T03" means a change of "lightening". The "thickening process" is a process of reducing (thinning) only the thickness without changing the material, length and width of the part.

Therefore, in this case, in the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6, when the main part is "supported" by the slave part, that is, in the relationship of "R02", the main part is "thinned", that is, "T01". It is remembered that when the change is made, the slave part undergoes a change of "lightening", that is, "T03".

Further, for example, "T02" means a change of "attaching a weight", and a change "T04" means a change of "becoming heavier". "Attaching a weight" means increasing the weight of the part by attaching the weight to the part.

When the "relationship" in the change RB 122 indicates the relationship between the main part and the plurality of slave parts in the relationship DB 121, the change corresponding to each of the plurality of slave parts is described in the "change" column. May be.

In the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6, the change “T04” that occurs in the slave component is stored for the set of the change “T02” for the main component and the relationship “R02” between the main component and the slave component. Therefore, this means that "mounting a weight" on a main part that is "supported" by a slave part makes the slave part "heavy".

The history DB 123 is a database that stores information indicating changes to parts (first information) received from the terminal 2 operated by the designer and information indicating changes caused to other parts due to the changes (third information). Is. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the history DB 123. The history DB 123 has a change list 1231 and a change list 1232.

The change list 1231 shows the product, the parts that make up the product, the designer in charge of designing the part, the defects that occur in the part, and the changes that the designer makes to the part. The identification information that identifies each of the above is stored in association with the information on the date and time when the designer registered the change.

For example, in the change list 1231 of the history DB 123 shown in FIG. 7, the designer "U01" changes the date and time "D01" to the defect "T11" occurring in the part "P06" of the product "J01". It is remembered that "T02" was applied. The defect "T11" means, for example, the generation of vibration.

The above-mentioned change list 1231 contains identification information for identifying a defect occurring in a part, but if the information indicating a change to the part is included, the information regarding the defect is not included. May be good.

The change list 1232 stores the change of any part caused by the change of the part made at that date and time in association with the "date and time" described in the change list 1231. For example, the change "T02" to the component "P06" made on the date and time "D01" described above solves the problem "T11" that "vibration occurs" in the frame component "P06", so that the component "P06" can be solved. It shows that the change "T02" of "attaching the weight" was applied to "".

When the information processing apparatus 1 receives the information about the change of the above-mentioned date and time "D01" from the designer "U01", the date and time "D01", the designer "U01", and the date and time "D01" are displayed in the change list 1231 of the history DB 123 shown in FIG. Store each of the product "J01", the part "P06", the defect "T11", and the change "T02".

Next, the information processing apparatus 1 refers to the relationship DB 121 shown in FIG. 5, and refers to the relationship "R00" indicating the relationship between the main component "P06" and the slave component "P06", that is, the relationship that they are the same component. Is read. Then, when the information processing apparatus 1 makes a change "T02" to the main component with reference to the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6, the change "T04" that occurs in the slave component having the relationship "R00" with the main component is changed. Read that.

After that, in the history DB 123, the information processing apparatus 1 shows the change list 1232 corresponding to the above-mentioned date and time "D01", the part "P06" indicating the slave part with respect to the changed main part, and the change "T04" indicating the change caused by the part "P06". "Written. This means that when the change "T02" of "attaching a weight" is applied to the part "P06", the change "T04" of "becoming heavier" occurs in the part "P06" itself. As a result, based on the information received from the terminal 2 operated by the designer "U01", the changes in the parts and the changes caused by the changes are stored in the history DB 123.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the competition table 124. The competition table 124 stores that two changes (first change and second change) are in a competing relationship for a common component. "Two changes compete" means that they are conflicting changes, and when one holds, the other does not.

For example, in the competition table 124 shown in FIG. 8, the first change “T04” and the second change “T03” are associated with each other. This means that the first change "T04" which means "become heavier" competes with the second change "T03" which means "become lighter".

1-4. Functional Configuration of Information Processing Device FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the information processing device 1. The control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 9 functions as a reception unit 111, an acquisition unit 112, a generation unit 113, and a presentation unit 114 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 12 shown in FIG. do.

The acquisition unit 112 acquires information (second information) indicating the relationship between a plurality of parts constituting the product. For example, the designer transmits information on parts constituting the product, such as a design drawing or an assembly drawing of the product, together with identification information of the product he / she is designing from the terminal 2 shown in FIG. 1 to the information processing apparatus 1. ..

When the communication unit 13 of the information processing device 1 receives this information, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 generates, for example, a relationship list 1212 indicating the relationship between the parts constituting the product indicated by this information, that is, the second information. do. Then, the control unit 11 associates the generated second information with the above-mentioned product identification information and stores it in the relationship DB 121 of the storage unit 12.

The acquisition unit 112 acquires the above-mentioned second information from the relation DB 121 when the generation unit 113 described later generates the third information. The acquisition unit 112 may have the functions of generating and storing the second information described above.

The reception unit 111 receives information (first information) indicating a change to the first part among a plurality of parts constituting the product. The designer operates, for example, the operation unit 25 of the terminal 2 to transmit the above-mentioned first information to the information processing apparatus 1. When the communication unit 13 of the information processing device 1 receives this first information, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 receives this and functions as the reception unit 111 described above.

When the reception unit 111 receives the above-mentioned first information, the generation unit 113 specifies the "change to the first component" indicated by the received first information. Next, the generation unit 113 identifies the second component having a relationship with the identified first component with reference to the second information acquired by the acquisition unit 112.

Then, the generation unit 113 generates the third information indicating the change caused in the second component by the change with respect to the first component with reference to the change RB 122 indicating the determined rule. The generated third information is associated with the received first information and stored in the history DB 123.

That is, the generation unit 113 generates the third information indicating the change caused in the second component having the relationship shown in the second information by the change with respect to the first component according to the determined rule.

In the history DB 123 illustrated in FIG. 7, each record stored in the change list 1231 is an example of the first information indicating a change for the first component, and the change list 1232 is an example of the change for the first component. It is an example of the third information which shows the change which occurs in the 2nd part which has a relation with the 1st part.

The presentation unit 114 transmits the third information generated by the generation unit 113 to the terminal 2 via, for example, the communication unit 13, and presents the information using the display unit 24 of the terminal 2.

Here, the presentation unit 114 may refer to the competition table 124 and present to that effect when the changes indicated by the third information generated by the generation unit 113 conflict with each other. Further, the presenting unit 114 may present the above-mentioned third information in a manner different from the case where the changes occurring in the parts constituting the product compete with each other and the changes do not compete with each other.

The control unit 21 of the terminal 2 that has received the third information from the presentation unit 114 realized by the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 may function as a presentation unit that presents the third information.

1-5. Operation of Information Processing Device FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing a flow of operation of the information processing device 1. The control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 1 acquires the second information from the related DB 121 (step S101), and receives the first information indicating the change for the first component from the terminal 2 (step S102).

The control unit 11 refers to the change RB 122 (step S103) and generates a third information indicating the change that occurs in the second component due to the change to the first component (step S104).

The control unit 11 associates the generated third information with the first information received from the terminal 2 and stores it in the history DB 123 (step S105). Then, the control unit 11 refers to the competition table 124 and determines whether or not there is a competing pair in each of the changes indicated by the generated third information (step S106).

When it is determined that there is no pair competing for the change indicated by the third information (step S106; NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S102 and continues accepting the first information.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a pair that conflicts with the change indicated by the third information (step S106; YES), the control unit 11 extracts, for example, the conflicting pair (step S107), and the extracted set is used as a terminal. It is presented by the display unit 24 of 2 (step S108).

For example, in the history DB 123 shown in FIG. 7, after the change of the above-mentioned date and time “D01” and the change list 1232 associated with the change are stored, the reception unit 111 sets the date and time “D02” to the designer “U02”. Receives the first information that the change "T01" has been applied to the part "P01" of the product "J01" in order to solve the defect "T12", and the control unit 11 corresponds to this first information. Generate third information.

Here, the defect "T12" means, for example, "to interfere with other parts". Specifically, the defect "T12" means that the component "P01" which is a sensor is thick and therefore interferes with the attachment of the component "P04" which is a cable. In response to this defect, the designer "U02" decides to make a change "T01" meaning "thickening process" to the part "P01", and provides the first information indicating the content of this change to the terminal 2. To the information processing device 1.

The control unit 11 identifies the change "T01" and the component "P01" that is the target of the change from the received first information, and refers to the relation DB 121 shown in FIG. 5, and refers to the component "T01" which is the first component. The second component having a relationship with "P01" is extracted. Here, the control unit 11 specifies, for example, the component "P05" having the component "P01" relationship "R02" as the second component, and further, the component "P06" having the component "P05" and the relationship "R02" is also the second component. 2 Specify as a part. That is, the control unit 11 specifies, in addition to the parts directly related to the parts to be changed, if the parts are not directly related but are indirectly related. The relationship "R02" means a relationship in which the main component is "supported" by the slave component, as described above.

Then, the control unit 11 refers to the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6 to identify the changes that occur in the extracted second component, the component “P05” and the component “P06”, and generate the third information. It is stored in the change RB 122 that when the change "T01" is made to the main part, the change "T03" occurs in the slave part having the relationship "R02" with the main part. This means that when the main part is "thinned", the secondary parts that "support" the main part become "lighter".

Therefore, the control unit 11 generates a change list 1232 showing the change "T03" that occurs in the component "P05" and the change "T03" that occurs in the component "P06", and records this in association with the date and time "D02". Store in DB123.

Then, the control unit 11 refers to the conflict table 124 and determines whether or not there is a conflict list 1232 stored in the history DB 123. The history DB 123 already stores the component "P06" and the change list 1232 showing that the change "T04" occurs in the component "P06" in association with the date and time "D01". Here, when the change list 1232 corresponding to the above-mentioned date and time "D02" is generated, it is shown in the change list 1232 that the change "T03" occurs in the component "P06".

The competition table 124 shown in FIG. 8 shows that, as described above, the first change “T04” meaning “heavier” competes with the second change “T03” meaning “lighter”. Has been done. Therefore, in the above-mentioned history DB 123, the change "T04" stored for the common component "P06" and the change "T03" conflict with each other, and the control unit 11 informs the terminal 2 that they conflict with each other. Present this by telling.

By these operations, the information processing system 9 makes the designer understand the change caused in the second component due to the change made in the first component. In addition, when trying to make a change to the first part that he is in charge of, the designer asks whether the change caused by the change in the second part conflicts with the change caused by the change made so far. You will be informed.

When designing a product consisting of multiple parts, if some measures are taken against the defects of the parts that the designer is in charge of, other parts are often affected. However, it is difficult for the designer to remember all the effects. It is difficult to grasp all of these effects even when one designer is in charge of all parts, and when multiple designers cooperate in designing. Often impossible.

In particular, even if the parts are not directly related, if they are indirectly related, changing one part may cause a chain of changes in the related parts and affect the other part. , It is difficult for the designer to grasp all of these.

In the information processing system 9 in the above-described embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 presents to the designer the changes that occur in the second component due to the changes to the first component, so that the designer presents the changes that occur in the second component to the designer. Understand the changes.

Further, in the information processing system 9 in the above-described embodiment, when the change caused in the second component conflicts due to the change in the first component, the information processing apparatus 1 presents the change to the designer. It is easy for one to notice the competition for changes that occur in the second component.

2. 2. Modification Example The above is the description of the embodiment, but the content of this embodiment can be modified as follows. Further, the following modification examples may be combined.

2-1. Modification 1
In the above-described embodiment, the storage unit 12 stores the competition table 124, but the competition table 124 may not be stored. In this case, the presentation unit 114 may present the third information generated by the generation unit 113. Further, the control unit 11 does not have to perform steps S106 and S107 shown in FIG. Even in this case, the designer grasps the change caused by the change by the presentation by the information processing apparatus 1.

2-2. Modification 2
In the above-described embodiment, the presentation unit 114 presents the third information generated by the generation unit 113 using the display unit 24 of the terminal 2, but information other than the third information may be presented.

For example, the presenting unit 114 may present a candidate for change for resolving the defect based on the information of the defect occurring in any of the parts. In this case, the control unit 11 may function as the selection unit 115 shown by the broken line in FIG.

When the reception unit 111 receives the information (fourth information) indicating a defect occurring in the component, the selection unit 115 receives the fourth information and the fourth information based on the change RB 122 indicating the determined rule. Select candidates for changes to the part to eliminate the defects shown in.

When the reception unit 111 receives the fourth information, the selection unit 115 identifies the defect shown in the fourth information, and refers to the conflict table 124 to identify the change that conflicts with this defect. For example, if the defect of the part is "heavier", the selection unit 115 is stored in the competition table 124 as competing with the change "T04" of "heavier", and the change "lighter". T03 "is specified.

Then, the selection unit 115 refers to the change RB 122 to specify the change for causing the specified change “T03” in the above-mentioned component. In the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6, the change "T01", the relationship "R02", and the change "R03" are associated with each other. Therefore, in order to cause the change "R03" in the above-mentioned part, it is a candidate to apply the change "T01" to the main part having the relation "R02" with the part when the part is a slave part. Can be mentioned.

The selection unit 115 identifies a component having a relationship with the defective component by referring to the relationship DB 121. For example, if the part in which the defect of "becoming heavy" is the part "P06", the part "supported" by the part "P06", that is, any part having the relationship "R02" is "reduced". "Meat processing", that is, making the change "T01" is a candidate for measures to solve this problem.

The selection unit 115 identifies, for example, the component "P05" as a component "supported" by the component "P06". Therefore, the change "T01" of "thinning" the part "P05" is selected as a candidate for solving the defect. In this case, the presentation unit 114 may present the candidate selected by the selection unit 115.

In addition, the selection unit 115 may select only the candidate for change for the defective part itself. In this case, since the defective part and the part to be changed are the same parts, the selection unit 115 does not have to refer to the related DB 121. That is, the selection unit 115 may select the above-mentioned change candidate by referring to the data stored in the change RB 122 that includes the relationship “R00”.

For example, in the change RB 122 shown in FIG. 6, the change “T01”, the relationship “R00”, and the change “R03” are associated with each other. Therefore, the selection unit 115 may select the change "T01" of "thinning" for the part "P06" having the problem of "becoming heavy" as a candidate.

2-3. Modification 3
In the above-described embodiment, the generation unit 113 refers to the change RB 122 in which the determined rule is shown, and generates the third information indicating the change caused in the second component due to the change in the first component. However, the importance of this change may be specified for each change that occurs in the second component. In this case, the storage unit 12 may store the importance table 125 shown by the broken line in FIG.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the importance table 125. FIG. 11A shows an importance table 125 in which the importance is determined for each part. FIG. 11B shows an importance table 125 in which the importance is determined for each change. FIG. 11 (c) shows an importance table 125 in which the importance is determined for each defect.

When the generation unit 113 generates the third information indicating the change caused in the second component due to the change with respect to the first component, the first component and the second component described above are referred to with reference to the importance table 125 shown in FIG. , Changes to the first component, changes that occur in the second component, defects that occur in the first component, and the like may be specified. When there are a plurality of importance to be specified, the generation unit 113 may specify the importance corresponding to the third information by performing a predetermined operation such as summing them.

In this case, the presentation unit 114 may present the third information according to the importance specified by the generation unit 113. For example, the presentation unit 114 may sort and present the third information in descending order of importance, or may compare each importance with a threshold value and present the third information for those exceeding this threshold value. good.
