FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating the overall configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 functions as a platform 10, a base 20, a service providing unit 30, and the like.

The platform 10 is connected to the edge interpreter 200 of each company via a telecommunication line such as the Internet. The edge interpreter 200 is connected to design equipment, production equipment, monitoring equipment, etc. of each company via a telecommunication line such as an intranet. Design-related data, actual production-related data, and the like obtained from these design devices, production equipment, monitor devices, and the like are converted into a data format according to a standard profile in the edge interpreter 200 and transmitted to the platform 10. The platform 10 transmits data to the substrate 20.

The platform 20 functions as a standard profile API unit 21, a profile database 22, an authentication authority management unit 23, a matching management unit 24, a service menu management unit 25, and the like. The board 20 is connected to the terminal 300 via a telecommunication line such as the Internet.

The standard profile API unit 21 stores the data received from the platform 10 in the profile database 22. As a result, data is accumulated in the standard profile stored in the profile database 22.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a part of a standard profile. A standard profile is a collection of objects in which data is stored. The standard profile, as an example, contains one or more standardized data models for manufacturing planning and scheduling. As illustrated in FIG. 2, each data model contains one or more objects. As an example, a standard profile compliant with PSLX3.0 can be used. For example, the "production plan" data model includes objects such as "production plan" and "inventory plan". The "Schedule" data model includes objects such as "Daily Material Planning". Data is accumulated in each object.

The objects may be independent of each other or may be associated with each other. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the association of each object. As an example, FIG. 3 is an excerpt of the "equipment" data model. As illustrated in FIG. 3, an ID is set for each object. For example, "equipment monitor ID" and "equipment ID" are set in the "equipment monitor" object. An "equipment ID" is set in the "equipment" object. An "operating status ID" and an "equipment monitor ID" are set in the "operating status" object. An "operation instruction ID" and an "equipment ID" are set in the "operation instruction" object. An "operation history ID" and an "equipment monitor ID" are set in the "operation history" object. An "operation result ID" and an "operation instruction ID" are set in the "operation result" object. An "operation record ID" and an "equipment monitor ID" are set in the "operation record" object. In this way, each object is associated with an ID.

The authentication authority management unit 23 performs an authentication process using the information input by the user using the input device 301 of the terminal 300. If the authentication is successful, the user can log in.

The service menu management unit 25 outputs an instruction to display the service menu to the display device 302 of the terminal 300. The display device 302 displays the service menu according to the instruction from the service menu management unit 25.

FIG. 4 is an image diagram of the service menu. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the user can refer to each object included in the standard profile. If no service is selected from the service menu, the data item will not be expanded. When any service is selected from the service menu, the data items for the selected service are expanded and displayed. In the example of FIG. 4, the "DashBoard" service is selected and the "production planning" data model and the "allocation" data model are deployed. In addition, the "Daily Production Planning" and "Actual" objects of the "Production Planning" data model are expanded. In addition, the "Daily Actual" data item of the "Daily Production Planning" object is expanded, and the "Production Actual" data item, "Item Volume" data item, and "Item Yield" data item of the "Actual" object are expanded. There is. In addition, the presence or absence of data is displayed by graying out, blinking, or the like. Thereby, it is possible to visually confirm the presence or absence of data accumulation.

When the user selects a service from the service menu and makes a contract, the user is permitted to use the service provided by the service providing unit 30. For example, visualization results and analysis results of accumulated data can be used. For example, in the "manufacturing status visualization" service, the operating time, setup time, and play (stop) time of each equipment can be visualized on a Gantt chart from the log information of the start, completion, and setup of each equipment.

However, if the service menu includes a large number of selectable menus, it takes time and effort for the user to find and select the necessary service. In addition, in such a procedure, it is not possible to know whether or not an appropriate service has been selected for the user until the contract is made. In some cases, there is a risk of subscribing to unnecessary services. Therefore, the information processing device 100 according to the present embodiment has a configuration capable of recommending a service effective for the user. The details will be described below.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the details of the operation of the information processing apparatus 100. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the authentication authority management unit 23 performs an authentication process using information such as an ID and a password entered by the user using the input device 301 (step S1). For example, if the information registered in advance and the information input by the user using the input device 301 match, the authentication process is successful. If the authentication process is successful, the user can log in.

In the authentication process, the authentication authority management unit 23 acquires the role information of the user. The role information is identification information of a user's role. For example, the role information is the affiliation, job title, etc. in each company, and specifically, the role of a worker at a manufacturing site, a manager at a manufacturing site, a manager, or the like. A plurality of users may be grouped by one role (for example, a worker at a manufacturing site). Further, the workers at the manufacturing site may be divided into a plurality of roles such as a first group and a second group. Each user may be assigned to a different role. If the user has a plurality of roles, the user may be assigned a plurality of roles.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a role table in which each user and a role are associated with each other. As illustrated in FIG. 6, each user has one or more roles associated with it. This role table is stored in the authentication authority management unit 23. For example, if the user 1 succeeds in the authentication process, the authentication authority management unit 23 acquires the role of "manufacturing site" for the user 1. Alternatively, if the user 2 succeeds in the authentication process, the authentication authority management unit 23 acquires the two roles of "manager" and "manufacturing site" for the user 2.

Next, the matching management unit 24 acquires a service for which the user who succeeded in the authentication process in step S1 has not yet contracted (step S2). FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a contract information table in which each user is associated with contracted and uncontracted services. As illustrated in FIG. 7, each service is associated with each user and stores whether each service is contracted or uncontracted. The contract information table is stored in the matching management unit 24.

Next, the matching management unit 24 searches for a service that matches the role acquired in step S1 among the uncontracted services, and passes it to the service menu management unit 25 (step S3). FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a matching information table in which each role information is associated with a service to be recommended. As illustrated in FIG. 8, a service to be recommended is associated with each role information. For example, for the role of "manufacturing site", services of "image recognition learning" and "visualization of manufacturing status" are associated.

For example, the objects required for the "equipment operation monitor" are "process", "equipment", "operation history", and "equipment failure". The item required for the "process" is the "process name". The item required for "equipment" is "equipment name". The items required for "operation history" are "start, end". The items required for "equipment failure" are "start, end". A service called "Dashboard" is associated with the role of "management". The objects required for "Dashboard" are "production plan" and "operation history". The items required for "production planning" are "sales and production". The object required for "operation history" is "operation status".

The matching management unit 24 may exclude services for which data is not accumulated in the object from the search target. In this case, a service that can be used immediately can be recommended to the user.

The service menu management unit 25 outputs to the display device 302 an instruction for displaying the information for recommending the service passed from the matching management unit 24 to the user in the display device 302 in step S3. As a result, the display device 302 displays the service recommended to the user (step S4). For example, the service menu management unit 25 rearranges the uncontracted services, and outputs an instruction to the display device 302 so that the service passed from the matching management unit 24 in step S3 becomes the highest level. Alternatively, the service menu management unit 25 instructs the display device 302 to display information that the user can visually grasp, such as blinking the service passed from the matching management unit 24 in step S3. Output to 302. FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating an uncontracted service. FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating services sorted at the top for the role “manufacturing site”. FIG. 9C is a diagram illustrating services sorted at the top for the role of “manager”. In addition, in FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C, a service other than the service passed from the matching management unit 24 in step S3 may be displayed.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram for explaining the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 100. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the information processing device 100 includes a CPU 101, a RAM 102, a storage device 103, an interface 104, and the like. Each of these devices is connected by a bus or the like. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101 is a central processing unit. The CPU 101 includes one or more cores. The RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 is a volatile memory that temporarily stores a program executed by the CPU 101, data processed by the CPU 101, and the like. The storage device 103 is a non-volatile storage device. As the storage device 103, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory), a solid state drive (SSD) such as a flash memory, a hard disk driven by a hard disk drive, or the like can be used. The interface 104 is an interface with a telecommunication line or the like. Each part of the information processing apparatus 100 is realized by the CPU 101 executing the program stored in the storage apparatus 103. Alternatively, each part of the information processing apparatus 100 may be hardware such as a dedicated circuit.

According to this embodiment, among the uncontracted services, the service corresponding to the role information of the user is displayed on the display device 302 and recommended to the user. Thereby, it is possible to recommend a service that is effective for the user. For example, by changing the order of uncontracted services, it becomes possible to visually grasp the services to be recommended. In addition, by recommending a service in which data is stored in an object, it becomes possible to recommend a service that can be used immediately.

In the above embodiment, the authentication authority management unit 23 functions as an example of the role information acquisition unit that acquires the role information of the user. The matching management unit 24 refers to the relationship between the role information of the user and the service stored in advance, and is included in a plurality of services using one or more objects included in the profile, and the use by the user is not permitted. Among the services, it functions as an example of the service acquisition unit that acquires the service according to the role information.
