Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a software configuration method and usage method in an information processing system, and in particular, the present invention relates to a software configuration method and usage method in an information processing system. The present invention relates to the configuration of an information processing system that outputs information and how to use the same, and relates to an information processing system that allows the user of the system to easily perform desired data processing and obtain output results simply by indicating the output specifications.

[Conventional technology]

CT M (Computer Integrated
Manufac-turing) and F A (Fact
Automation of production systems using advanced computers is popular. Therefore, there is a high need for a production control system that supports planning and control in manufacturing activities, and its importance is increasing. However, many conventional production management systems require the user to specify the input data set required for calculation and parameters to control the flow of data processing.
These data and parameter pairs are specified (input) correctly.
Data processing is performed only after the As described above, since conventional production management systems merely mechanically process data input by users, users have been required to be familiar with the operation of the entire system in order to use the information processing system.

For information on how to construct and operate information processing systems that have traditionally been carried out in offices, see Transactions of the Information Processing Society of Japan, Vol.
, 25. No. 6, pp. 909-919 (19
48) Discussed in ``Construction of office information system by model adaptation'' by Uota et al.

This method analyzes information processing operations in offices,
The part where information processing passage can be widely used for various target operations (
models) and parts for use in specific tasks (adapters)
Divide into. When creating an actual operational system using this, the operator selects the model required for the target business, and constructs an information processing procedure by combining it with an adapter specific to that business. In this way, this technology has the advantage of being able to easily create a variety of information processing procedures by combining various accumulated models and adapters. However, when an operator uses this, it is assumed that the operator is familiar with this mechanism and can construct the system as necessary, so unless the operator knows how to operate the system, he or she will not be able to obtain the necessary output information. That problem has not been resolved.

In this way, users of information processing systems not only have knowledge about the work they are in charge of (for example, production management), but also have knowledge about determining processing contents, selecting programs to use, preparing input data (creating, editing), and processing procedures. Knowledge is required to operate information processing systems, such as making decisions. This knowledge includes, for example, knowledge about computer hardware and how to operate it, software languages and programming methods using them, database structures and their operating languages and operating methods. For this reason, information processing system operators acquire the knowledge necessary to operate the information processing system by reading the instruction manual or operation manual for the target system, or by hearing from the system designer or the person in charge of operating the system. , it is necessary to understand and be familiar with it in advance.

Furthermore, regardless of information processing for production management, information processing systems are used to accurately and quickly carry out the intended tasks, and users of information processing systems can change the processing content and output as necessary. It must be possible to obtain the necessary information (output) by freely changing the external specifications of information processing, such as the format. Moreover, in this case, it is necessary for the person in charge who is the user of the information processing system to be able to operate it using only the knowledge of the business in which they specialize.6However, with conventional information processing systems, it is not possible to do the following. This hinders the improvement of usage efficiency, and this is a factor that hinders the accurate and efficient promotion of target operations.

(1) Users can specify external specifications for any information processing required to perform the target business.

(2) Every time the user changes external specifications, the system reconfigures the software (processing procedures) in accordance with the change in processing content.

(3) When executing the configured processing procedure, the system also stores and stores intermediate data (intermediate data) used to prepare necessary input data and obtain output results.

(4) When reconfiguring a processing procedure and executing a process, the process is displayed to the user, and requests for changes to the reconfigured processing procedure are accepted from the user as necessary.

(5) When reconfiguring processing procedures and displaying the progress of their execution, processing procedures are arranged in the order of closest to the external specifications (output specifications) specified by the user (worker), according to the trial process of the person in charge of the business. Display.

Furthermore, when accepting or accepting changes to a specific processing procedure, it is possible to change the processing procedure from a processing procedure that is close to the processing for output clothing.

In this way, conventional systems rely on computers, their software technology, or calculation methods (algorithms).
Users who are not experts in the system are familiar with the problem of poor operability, that is, poor man-machine interface between the system and its users.

To address these problems, a menu guidance method has been widely adopted as a user interface method aimed at improving the operability of information processing systems. In this method, a user's request is accepted indirectly by selecting the processing procedure or input data required by the user from a plurality of menus (options) shown by the information processing system. However, this method requires the user to understand the input data and the details of its processing, and in production control systems that perform complex processing, there is a problem that data may be destroyed due to incorrect processing.

Note that this type of method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-28692.
No. 1 is mentioned.

On the other hand, in the configuration of an information processing system, tabular data in a file is input, such as information processing for production management, and less complex calculations such as aggregation and set operations are performed.
There is a computer software description language for configuring an information processing system (conversion processing procedure for tabular data) that returns output data as a processing result to a file in tabular format (for example, GE's MIMS). However, M
IMS lacks flexibility because users cannot freely change the contents of commands, which are the basic description format for conversion processing procedures for tabular data.

Further, there is a database search (operation) language as an information processing means similar to the table conversion function. However, in database search (operation) languages, it is necessary to set initial values (initialization function), which are often used in describing information processing procedures in production management, to define internal variables, to assign operations to internal variables, and to perform aggregation processing. It is not possible to describe the important logic of information processing, such as handling of fractions (post-processing).

In addition, by using the form format that production management personnel use on a daily basis, we can directly accept external specifications for information processing (output element specifications) requested by users, and based on these external specifications. As a method for configuring information processing procedures,
There is No.-57023. With this method, the user can specify the desired output specifications using a fill-in-the-blank table format, eliminating the need to specify the selection of input data or processing procedures.

This method accepts requests regarding the item configuration of output elements, item attributes, and calculation conditions as output specifications. Another feature is that processing specifications (executable procedures) are determined based on the received request. However, this method does not provide a means for determining whether the processing procedure determined by the system is what the user intended. For this reason, if the user wants to change the production schedule based on certain criteria, such as maximizing economic efficiency, it will be necessary to partially change the processing procedures configured by the system. There is a problem in that it is not possible to change the processing procedure determined by the system because information regarding it cannot be obtained.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Computer software designers configure information processing systems and use them for various tasks (e.g. production management).
When used by a person in charge of tasks, following the steps below will clarify the division of duties and improve work efficiency.

(1) The software designer determines the external specifications of the software (that is, what item configuration is required for output) in accordance with the user's desired information processing requirements.

(2) Design necessary functions and data structures based on external specifications.

(3) Based on the functions and data structure, perform a general design of the entire software, analyze the software for modules, and perform detailed design of the modules.

(6) Next, determine the content of the information processing necessary to solve the problem and the specifications for outputting the results. 6(7) Select the program to be used based on the determination of the processing content and output specifications.

(8) Understand the contents of the program to be used and prepare the necessary data.

(9) Parameters for controlling the flow of data processing (information processing procedures) (for example, when planning a production schedule, prioritize the completion time of the work, or prioritize the operation rate of equipment) control data that specifies whether to do so)
Determine.

(10) Execute information processing according to the determined procedure.

(11) Interpret the output element that is the result of information processing and check whether the output according to the desired specifications has been correctly produced.

(12) If the output of the desired specifications is not correctly obtained, the user operates the information processing system again from step (6), and repeats the operation until the desired output result is obtained. As described above, software designers design and configure software based on external specifications (output element specifications), and users similarly design and configure software using external specifications (output element specifications). Use it as a clue and operate it.

However, in order to carry out each task according to the above procedure, users of information processing systems (generally, non-experts in information processing systems) must perform tasks that they are specialized in (for example, In addition to knowledge regarding production management),
Knowledge for operating information processing systems is required, such as determining processing content, selecting programs to use, input data standards (creation, editing), and determining processing procedures. This knowledge includes, for example, knowledge about computer hardware and how to operate it, software languages and programming methods using them, database structures and their operating languages and operating methods.

For this reason, information processing system operators acquire the knowledge necessary to operate the information processing system by reading the instruction manual or operation manual for the target system, or by hearing from the system designer or the person in charge of operating the system. , it is necessary to understand and be familiar with it in advance. However, for those in charge who have no prior knowledge of computer software technology, it takes a great deal of effort to acquire the knowledge, and it is important to solve this problem.

Furthermore, regardless of information processing for production management, information processing systems are used to accurately and quickly carry out the intended tasks, and users of information processing systems can change the processing content and output as necessary. It must be possible to obtain the necessary information (output table) by freely changing the external specifications of information processing, such as the format. Furthermore, in this case, it is necessary for the person in charge who is the user of the information processing system to be able to operate it using only the knowledge of the business in which he or she specializes.

However, conventional information processing systems are unable to do the following, which hinders the improvement of information processing system usage efficiency, and this becomes a factor that prevents the accurate and efficient promotion of target operations. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem.

(1) Users can specify external specifications for any information processing required to perform the target business.

(2) Every time the user changes external specifications, the system reconfigures the software (processing procedures) in accordance with the change in processing content.

(3) When executing the configured processing procedure, the system also stores and stores intermediate data (intermediate data) used to prepare necessary input data and obtain output results.

(4) When reconfiguring a processing procedure and executing a process, the process is displayed to the user, and requests for changes to the reconfigured processing procedure are accepted from the user as necessary.

(5) When reconfiguring processing procedures and displaying the progress of their execution, processing procedures are arranged in the order of closest to the external specifications (output specifications) specified by the user (worker), according to the trial process of the person in charge of the business. Display.

Furthermore, when accepting or accepting changes to a specific processing procedure, it is possible to change the processing procedure from a processing procedure that is close to the processing of the output table.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the problems of the prior art described above,
It is possible to generate detailed processing procedures based only on the external specifications of information processing requested by users, and when generating processing procedures, it is possible to reflect the user's trial process,
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying information processing results that also enables reuse of intermediate results of information processing, and an apparatus for implementing the method.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides an information processing system suitable for performing calculations on input data in a tabular format and outputting the calculation results as data in a tabular format. a means for receiving the required specifications in a form (means for accepting required specifications), a means for displaying the results of data processing based on the external specifications in a form (processing result display means), and a configuration of an output table when defining the external specifications. By providing a means for displaying options regarding items (table name, table item name, arrangement of item names, item unit name) (means for displaying table constituent items), the user (operator) of the system can To easily specify external specifications of desired output.

Furthermore, when executing processing based on external specifications regarding data processing received from the operator, the configuration items of the input/output table regarding the basic processing unit of tabular data, the content of input/output processing (processing logic), and the processing process means for displaying at least one of the intermediate results (processing content display means); means for displaying the output table, tabular input/output data used to obtain the output table, and the relationship between the input and output; By providing a processing process display means), it is easy for the system user (operator) to simply indicate the external specifications of the output garment, and the information processing that meets the purpose is performed correctly and the desired processing result is obtained. so that it can be confirmed.

Furthermore, based on the external specifications regarding data processing received from the operator, the output data, each tabular input data used to obtain it, the input/output relationship, the constituent items of each input table, and the tabular data When displaying at least one piece of information regarding the content (processing logic) of basic input/output processing, all processing logic names whose external specifications of the output clothes are the same but whose internal processing is partially different are displayed. Alternatively, by providing a means for displaying at least one of the processing procedures (processing logic option display means), it is possible to obtain information regarding the information processing contents of the entire system without the help of an operating manual or system experts. This makes it easy to understand how to operate the system and to easily create multiple alternatives with different evaluation criteria.

[Effect]

The means for receiving the required specifications is to accept a request (external specification) regarding the contents of tabular data processing from the operator of the information processing system using the means for displaying the constituent items of the table, and to display the received contents in the tabular data processing procedure. Transfer to execution section.

The tabular data processing procedure execution unit executes data processing based on the external specifications and transfers the processing results to display means.

The processing result display means displays the configuration items of the output of the request, the input/output relationships of each tabular data used to obtain the output of the request, the configuration items of each input table, and the basic input of the tabular data. Displays the content of output processing and the output data of the execution results of information processing. This allows the system user (operator) to correctly process information that meets the purpose simply by indicating the output specifications, and also to check whether the necessary output has been made to the appropriate storage device and the content of the information processing. Can be confirmed.

Furthermore, the processing content display means and the processing process display means display a series of information regarding the output clothes received from the operator based on the constituent items of the input/output table and the name of the basic turnout process. Display the details of the processing procedure. This allows the operator to input fragmentary information such as the names of the constituent items in the input/output table or the names of basic people processing processes, and then the entire system can be compiled without the help of an operating manual or system experts. Information about the content of information processing is displayed, allowing you to understand how to operate the system.

Furthermore, the processing logic option display means accepts changes and corrections from the user regarding the content of basic input/output processing of tabular data, and executes the information processing based on the changed processing content. Accordingly, a plurality of processing results having the same output garment specifications requested by the operator but having different degrees of satisfaction with the evaluation criteria are displayed on the processing result display means.

This allows the user of the information processing system to easily create multiple alternatives.

C Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the processing specification display shadow information processing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the concept behind inventing the processing specification display shadow information processing system according to the present invention will be explained.

FIG. 3 is a diagram describing an example of the information processing process in production management suitable for application of the processing specification display shadow information processing system according to the present invention, and FIG. A conceptual diagram of an output table, FIG. 5 is a diagram explaining the description format of the table conversion command generated by the information processing method of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a diagram explaining the operating procedure of the information processing system and the specialized knowledge necessary for it. It is.

First, if there is a person who uses a specific information processing system for the purpose of information processing related to some kind of work (for example, planning a production schedule), and the user is not familiar with the information processing mechanism of the system, A system that is considered to be the easiest for the user to operate is one in which the user (operator) simply requests external specifications for information processing (required specifications for output) from the system, and the input necessary for the output is I thought that data and processing procedures are configured (determined), the processing procedures are executed, and the processing results are output. In such a system, users can define external specifications for information processing based solely on their knowledge of the work they are responsible for, and by inputting these into the system, they can obtain various information needed to carry out their work. Processing can be performed accurately, quickly, and easily.

Therefore, we decompose the series of processing procedures of the target information processing system into processes (basic processing units) whose basic units are input data, their processing procedures, and the output data obtained as a result of the processing, and Information on how to combine processing units is stored in the storage device, and processing requests for specific output garments from the operator (external specifications) are stored in the storage device.
Depending on its external specifications, starting from the output garment,
By connecting these processing units one after another,
You can search for the processing procedures necessary to output the external specifications and all the input data necessary for that series of processing.
This allows the user (operator) to simply request external specifications for information processing (required specifications for output) from the system, and the system determines the input data and processing procedures necessary for the output, and processes the information. We thought that it would be possible to perform this and show the results. In the following, information regarding this basic method of combining processing units will be referred to as configuration knowledge of information processing procedures.

Next, in order to explain the object to which the information processing method based on the above-mentioned idea is applied, a model will be created using the information processing description method shown in FIG. The method for describing the model shown in Figure 3 was developed when inventing the present invention, and it is possible to describe information processing by representing the processing procedure from input to output in an information processing system using a connection relationship in the form of a book. This is a suitable description method for understanding the operation of the entire system when the system designer configures the system and when the user operates the system. As shown in Figure 3 as an example, in information processing in a production management system,
Reads the data in the file in a table-like format like a ledger (the table described by the rectangle at the base of the arrow), performs the necessary calculations (the processing procedure described by the circle at the joining point of two or more arrows), such as exporting the results to a tabular file (a table written in rectangles at the end of the arrow).
The focus is on tabular data processing.

In conventional production management systems, such data processing processes are packaged into programs as standardized processing procedures for each output garment. When using (operating) such conventional software,
It is necessary to follow the steps shown in Figure 6.

(1) The user of the system (program) confirms the target information processing problem (for example, planning a production schedule).

(2) Determine the details of the information processing necessary to solve the above problem and the specifications for outputting the results.

(3) Select the program to be used based on the processing content and output specifications.

(4) Understand the contents of the program to be used and prepare the necessary data.

(5) Parameters to control the flow of data processing (information processing procedures) (for example, when planning a production schedule, prioritize the completion time of the work, or prioritize the operation rate of equipment) control data that specifies whether to do so)
Determine.

(6) Execute information processing according to the determined procedure.

(7) Interpret the output garment that is the result of information processing and check whether the output with the desired specifications was correctly obtained.

(8) If the output of the desired specifications is not correctly obtained, the user operates the information processing system again from step (2), and repeats the operation until the desired output result is obtained.

As described above, in conventional systems, in order to obtain the information processing output desired by the user, in addition to the knowledge of the work that the user is in charge of (e.g. production management), the decision of the processing content, the use of information, etc. Knowledge to operate information processing systems is required, such as program selection, input data quasi-1 (creation and editing), and determining processing procedures. This knowledge includes, for example, knowledge about computer hardware and how to operate it, software languages and programming methods using them, database structures and their operating languages and operating methods. For this reason, information processing system operators acquire the knowledge necessary to operate the information processing system by reading the instruction manual or operation manual for the target system, or by hearing from the system designer or the person in charge of operating the system. , it is necessary to understand and be familiar with it in advance.

Furthermore, regardless of the information processing involved in production management, information processing systems are used to carry out the intended work accurately and quickly, and users of the information processing system can change the processing content and output format as necessary. The system must be able to obtain the necessary information (output) by freely changing the external specifications for information processing. Furthermore, in this case, it is necessary for the person in charge who is the user of the information processing system to be able to operate it using only the knowledge of the business in which he or she specializes.

As shown in Figure 3, the information used for production planning, control, and management includes a production planning sheet that shows product production volume and completion time, and a parts structure that shows the quantities of materials and parts needed to make a product. There is information such as tables and standard schedules showing the number of working days for processing and assembling products and parts.

Those in charge of production management use this tabular information (hereinafter referred to as tabular data or simply tables) to calculate production start times in order to produce products by their respective completion times. The results of the calculations are output as tabular data, similar to the information used. In this way, most of the information processing procedures for production management are based on the process of inputting tabular data, converting it, and outputting tabular data. Hereinafter, the data processing process centered on the input/output of tabular data will be referred to as tabular conversion.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is thought that by configuring the information processing system using the means described below, it is possible to provide a system with the best operability for users. That is, (1) the user can specify external specifications for any information processing required to perform the target business.

(2) Every time the user changes external specifications, the system reconfigures the software (processing procedures) in accordance with the change in processing content.

(3) When executing the configured processing procedure, the system also stores and stores intermediate data (intermediate data) used to prepare necessary input data and obtain output results.

(4) When reconfiguring a processing procedure and executing a process, the process is displayed to the user, and requests for changes to the reconfigured processing procedure are accepted from the user as necessary.

(5) When reconfiguring processing procedures and displaying the progress of their execution, processing procedures are arranged in the order of closest to the external specifications (output specifications) specified by the user (worker), according to the trial process of the person in charge of the business. Display.

Furthermore, when accepting or accepting changes to a specific processing procedure, it is possible to change the processing procedure closest to that of the output garment.

First, a description language for an information processing system suitable for table conversion will be explained.

Most information processing procedures for production management are based on table conversion (processing) in which tabular data is input, converted, and output as tabular data. Therefore, in the information processing method according to the present invention, the information processing process is expressed by the basic processing shown below.

(1) The processing progress from the software's turnout data and input to output is regarded as a table transition process, and this is called a table conversion process.

(2) The basics of table conversion are intra-table operations that represent operations between items within one table, and inter-table joins that represent join operations between multiple tables, and all processing procedures of the software are performed using the above table. Expressed as a combination of transformations.

When software is expressed as a combination of the above table conversions, the input data, its processing procedure, and the output data as a result of one basic table conversion form a book-shaped connection relationship as shown in Figure 3. . The leaves of the tree contain input data, the branches of the tree contain processing procedures, and the trunk of the tree contains intermediate results.
Output data can be associated with each root of the tree. The intermediate results (intermediate tables) that make up the trunk of the tree represent the processing procedures before that table, and represent the external specifications of the input data to the processing procedures.

Figure 4 shows a part of the table conversion shown in Figure 3 in the order in which the output table is obtained from the input table, with arrows pointing from top to bottom, an input/output table represented by a rectangle, and a processing procedure represented by an ellipse. (
This shows the procedure of information processing expressed as a connection (table conversion).

To explain further, FIG. 4 shows a parts requirement table 405 that includes information such as what types of parts and when to start making them when creating the parts necessary to make a certain product.
This shows how the table is converted when creating . In order to obtain a parts requirement list, a standard schedule 401 representing the period required for manufacturing (assembling) the product is required as input data.
, a production planning table 402 that shows the required number and required timing (delivery date) of the product, and a parts composition table 403 that shows the types and required numbers (number of components) of all parts required to manufacture one unit of the product. is required, and the procedure for converting each table to obtain a lot list and parts requirement list is shown. On this occasion,
The lot table, which shows how much production (production unit or lot size) each product is to be produced, uses the standard schedule and production planning table as input data, and the start date calculation 406 is performed. This figure shows what can be obtained by performing quantity/delivery date calculation 407 using the lot table and parts bill as input data.

Details of the calculations (table conversion) for each of these tables can be found in A L F, a table conversion command description language developed by Hitachi, Ltd.

The relational database language SQR (Structured
It has specifications based on the Query Language) and consists of the following two types of command groups that are easy to understand even for production management personnel who are not computer experts.

(1) Basic commands: Basic commands that describe the logic of production management software.

(See Figure 15) 37 types such as UPDATE (2) Management commands: Commands that convert functions standardly used in production management into components.

(See Figure 16) EXPLODE, etc. 34 types By combining these commands, the number of information processing procedures that can be described as table conversion, such as production management, is significantly reduced compared to conventional languages (C0BOL, FORTRAN). It can be created in a few man-hours (in the application example, the number of steps is 1/15).

The above is an example of a software description language (table conversion description language) used for configuring an information processing system (table conversion system) to which the information processing method of the present invention is applied.

Next, we will explain how the information processing process of production management constructed using this table conversion description language is broken down into basic processing units, how to combine them, and how to store them in a computer.

When actually implementing production control at a product manufacturing factory, the information required by the person in charge of production control can be expressed in a table format. Therefore, the information processing process in production management can be expressed as repeated conversions from tabular data to tabular data. Therefore, by utilizing this, one conversion from tabular data to tabular data is regarded as a basic processing unit in information processing for production management. Below, we will explain how to express and store these processing units so that they can be recombined as needed.

At 0, the results of the information processing or the contents of the information processing transferred from the processing procedure editing/assembling section 10 and the table conversion command execution section 20 are displayed on the display 95. The information processing procedure configuration information storage unit 70 stores information (information processing procedure configuration information) used when editing and assembling the information processing procedure of the requested specifications received from the user. The common database 80 stores the table conversion commands edited and assembled by the processing procedure editing/assembly unit 10 and the input data necessary for their execution, as well as the output data of information processing results and the progress of the information processing (table conversion history), and Stores table conversion commands used for editing and assembling processing procedures. To explain in more detail, the processing procedure editing/assembling unit 10 performs the table conversion process (processing procedure) required for output based on the external specifications received from the user, for example, in accordance with the description format shown in FIG. In addition to converting to a column of table conversion command, disk 8
Store the table conversion command string in 0.

In FIG. 7, 550 is the basic processing unit of the information processing process in an example of an information processing system that handles production management configured as repeated conversion from tabular data to tabular data (hereinafter referred to as a table). This is what is shown. Reference numeral 600 shows data information for storing this basic processing unit in the external memory of the computer along with a combination method. In this way, the table name 610 obtained by one conversion, the procedure name 620 of this conversion, the name 630 of the input table used for this conversion, the item names 640 that make up the table obtained by conversion, and each item are calculated. The information consisting of the arithmetic expression 650 for calculating the
Let me remember it. The information in the information storage section consisting of such elements is hereinafter referred to as knowledge, and the collection of knowledge is referred to as a knowledge base. Further, tables that cannot be created by any conversion are stored in advance in the tabular data storage unit 801 of the common database 80 of the information processing system as basic data for input. In this basic input data, the knowledge conversion base 620, input table 6301, and arithmetic expression 660 shown in FIG. 8 are left blank.

A more specific example of knowledge expression using this method will be explained based on an example of an actual production management system. 9 in Figure 9
01 to 905 indicate table conversion knowledge regarding the production planning table, standard schedule table, lot table, parts composition table, and parts requirement table that appear in the table conversion explained in FIG.

Next, we will explain the procedure for determining the input data and processing procedure necessary to obtain the requested output, using information regarding the output requested by the operator of the information processing system as a clue, as shown in FIGS. Figure 37, Figure 38, Figure 39,
This will be explained in more detail using FIGS. 40, 41, and 43.

FIG. 2 is a software configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the output specification example information processing method according to the present invention, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing configuration items of the information in FIG. 7, and FIG. 37 is an information processing diagram according to the present invention. Figure 38 is a diagram explaining the format for accepting information processing request specifications from users in the system, Figure 38 is a diagram explaining the detailed configuration of the screen interface, Figure 39 is a diagram explaining the detailed configuration of the input interface, Figure 40 Figure 41 is a diagram explaining the detailed configuration of the processing procedure editing/assembling unit, Figure 41 is a diagram explaining the detailed configuration of the information storage unit of the information processing procedure, and Figure 42 is a diagram explaining the detailed configuration of the common database. In the example shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that the operator of the information processing system has made a request in advance to obtain an output of a parts requirement list. This request is entered via the input interface 60 using a keyboard or mouse 90. The information storage unit 701 (table conversion knowledge base) which is the basic unit of processing in the configuration information storage unit 70 of the information processing procedure includes 901
Parts requirement table, loft table, parts composition table shown in 905,
Knowledge of table conversion including five tables, production planning table and standard schedule table, has been accumulated.

Here, when the operator requests the output of a parts requirement list, the information processing system searches the knowledge base 701, finds knowledge 905 regarding the parts requirement list, and deciphers its contents.

As a result, it can be seen that the parts requirement table can be obtained by performing a table conversion of required quantity development on the input lot list and parts composition table. Next, the system finds knowledge 903 and 904 regarding the lot list and parts bill by searching the knowledge base 701 and deciphers its contents. Among these, based on the knowledge regarding the bill of materials, since nothing is entered in the input table or conversion base, it can be seen that this table is master data stored in the common database. In addition, knowledge about lot sheets shows that lot sheets can be obtained by converting the production planning sheet and standard schedule table into tables for calculating start dates. Furthermore, knowledge of production planning sheets and standard schedules 90
By searching for 1.902 and decoding it, it can be seen that the production planning table and standard schedule are mask data stored in a common database.

As a result of the above, the parts requirements list requested by the operator is obtained by converting the production planning table and the standard schedule table into tables for calculating the start date, and converting the production planning table and the standard schedule table into tables to calculate the start date. After conversion, the names of the output clothing items will be Lot, Part, Quantity, Delivery Date, Starting Mill, and Level, and the unit names of each item will be No Unit Name, No Unit Name, Piece, Day, Day, etc.
It can be seen that results are output that appear to have no unit name.

In this way, the system uses the requested representation name as a clue to search for knowledge about that table from the knowledge base, discover it, decipher and memorize its contents, and repeats this process until all input tables are stored in a common database. When we reach the master data that is stored in the master data (the knowledge input table, conversion name, and calculation expression are empty), the series of operations ends, and as a result, the master data By sequentially performing the transformations that have appeared in the data up to that point, contrary to the search type, it is possible to generate the input data and processing procedures necessary to obtain the output requested by the operator.

Next, means for accepting requests from the operator and responding thereto will be explained using FIGS. 10 to 37.

Figures 10, 11, and 12 are flowcharts of the process of generating information processing procedures for production management by table conversion;
Figure 3 is a diagram explaining the process of formulating an alternative plan in information processing, Figure 14 is a diagram explaining the trial and error process involved in the process of formulating an alternative plan in information processing, and Figures 17 to 35 are diagrams explaining the process of formulating an alternative plan in information processing. Fig. 36 is an explanatory diagram of a screen displaying processing procedures, processing contents, processing results, and contents of interaction responses with users of this system in an information processing system based on an information processing method, and Fig. 36 shows items in an information processing system according to the present invention. FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating a format for accepting request specifications for information processing from a user in an information processing system according to the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 37, the system requests the operator for the name of the table that he wishes to output through the CRT display (step 100). If the name of this table is prepared as knowledge in the knowledge base (1,
80), determine the input data and processing procedures necessary to obtain the table using the mechanism described above (190 to 26).
0). If knowledge regarding the name of the requested table is not available, the system requests the operator for the names of the items that constitute the table desired to be output (130). Then, it is searched whether the knowledge base has knowledge regarding tables with item names that include these item names (140 to 1).
50). If any, input data and processing procedures necessary to obtain this table are determined (180-260). If the requested item name does not exist, an attempt is made to synthesize the requested item name using several combinations of item names in the knowledge of the table prepared in advance (170). If synthesis is possible, input data and processing procedures for obtaining the table are determined (180-260). If synthesis is not possible, the system indicates to the operator that the requested information cannot be output (240).

As explained above, according to the information processing procedure generation device according to the present invention, the operator can simply request information about the output required from the system, even if the operator is not familiar with the information processing mechanism of the system. The system then automatically determines the necessary input data and its processing procedure.

By the way, in the information processing of production management, as shown in FIG. It is often the case that you want to obtain an output table (output table). This is the case, for example, when creating several alternative plans with different economically appropriate evaluation criteria in production management, as shown in FIG. Economic evaluation criteria include, for example, when creating a production schedule, which criteria should be used: maximum operating rate, standardization of workload, or minimum delivery delay. A method for implementing the conversion process determination procedure in such a case will be described. When creating several alternatives with different evaluation criteria, the contents of the table transformation (name of the table transformation) according to the evaluation criteria.
are different. Therefore, in the column of table conversion names in the table conversion knowledge that can create several alternatives with different economic evaluation criteria, a plurality of conversion names are written in correspondence with the contents of the table conversion. As shown in the flowchart in Figure 11, when a system user requests an output table obtained by a certain table conversion, if multiple conversion names are entered in the conversion knowledge of that table (300). Selects the names of all table conversion processes and the prerequisites for those processes (menu)
Display (320), prompt the user to make a selection (320)
. If only one conversion name or no conversion name is entered, or if no selection is made from the menu (350), a conversion process based on predetermined table conversion knowledge is selected. If there is only one conversion name or if no selection is made from the menu, the first conversion name may be selected.

Furthermore, in information processing for production management, it is often necessary for the user to change the contents of the conversion process determined by the system or selected by the user as described above. For example, this may include changing optimization guidelines regarding economic evaluation criteria, and more specifically, whether to maximize or minimize the operating rate when creating the aforementioned production schedule. This becomes a problem because maximizing the operating rate improves the time efficiency of the equipment, but the amount of work in progress within the production shop generally tends to increase.
Minimizing utilization generally speeds up production, but
This becomes a problem because the time efficiency of the equipment decreases.
The optimization guidelines are changed. A method for implementing the conversion process determination procedure in such a case will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 12. First, the system displays whether or not there is a change request in the table conversion processing procedure display section of the input/output table on the screen interface (400). If there is no change request, the system executes the table conversion procedure (command) that is displayed. The process is executed as is (500-460), and the result of the process is displayed on the input/output table display section (503).

If there is a request to change the optimization guideline, the content of the request input from the keyboard is deciphered (410), and it is determined whether or not the table conversion command is directly changed (420). When directly changing a table conversion command, import the changed contents from the keyboard (4, 70), display the contents, execute the process of the conversion command, and display the results (4, 70).
500-460).

If the table conversion command is not a direct change, a display is displayed so that the user can select whether or not the optimization index and optimization guideline are to be changed (430). If the optimization index and optimization guideline are changed, the input/output relationship change input section of the table (60
2) Read the search expression and edit it into a table conversion command (480-490), display its contents, execute the process of the conversion command, and display the result (50)
0-460).

If the optimization index and optimization guideline are not changed, refer to table conversion knowledge and select the command corresponding to the index and guideline from the table conversion command storage section of the common database using the table conversion name as a clue.440 ), and use that command as a table conversion command to obtain the output of the request.450
), displays its contents, executes the processing of the conversion command, and displays the results (500 to 460).

As explained above, according to the information processing system to which the output specification example information processing method according to the present invention is applied, the system user can obtain the required output clothes without having to be familiar with the information processing mechanism of the system. If specifications (external specifications) regarding configuration items are indicated, the system can assemble commands for table conversion processing based on the external specifications, and furthermore, it is possible to change and modify the contents of the assembled table conversion processing through dialogue with the user. At the same time, master data in the common database is input, conversion processing is executed, and the data is displayed on a CRT display via a screen interface.

Means for editing and assembling the table conversion described above, displaying the contents of the conversion process, and displaying the execution results of the conversion process will be explained with reference to FIGS. 17 to 36.

The system displays the screen shown in FIG. 17 on the CRT display in order to interact with the user and accept external specifications requested by the user. Reference numeral 171 is a screen for accepting requests regarding external specifications from the user, ie, the item configuration of the output garment, as shown in FIG. 37 as an example. The name of the output garment related to the table conversion process, which is stored in the knowledge base as knowledge, is read in advance and displayed as an option selectable with the mouse on the screen 172. This display may be displayed in a scrollable manner. If you need an expression name that is not listed in the options, select option 174 with the mouse and select
Enter the table name in the table name column of 71 and enter it in 172.
Display in addition to the options.

The knowledge base is searched using the table name input from 171 as a clue, and the item structure of the table and the contents of the table conversion process related to a series of table conversions to obtain the output clothes using the above-mentioned procedure are explained in the 18th section.
It is displayed on the edit/assembly screen 181 shown in the figure. Here, the configuration items to be displayed are item names such as table name 181, part name 182, planned quantity 183, and unit of item such as piece 184.

When changing these configuration items, the option 186 regarding addition of item/unit fields is selected with the mouse, and the screen is displayed to allow changes and corrections to be made. When changing configuration items, all item names and unit names related to table conversion stored in the knowledge base are searched and displayed as options, as shown in screens 191 and 201 in Figures 19 and 20. do.

If the required item or unit is not available in the options, select option 1.
92 or 202, input a necessary item name or unit name, and display the screen so that it can be added to options 191 or 201 and stored.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 21, the screen is set so that the configuration items 211 related to the external specifications, the names 213 and 214 of the necessary input tables, and the conversion processing procedure 212, which have been edited and assembled according to the steps described above, become clear. indicate. here,
When displaying step 212 of the conversion process, starting from the table related to the external specifications, which is the final output, the input table (displayed as a rectangle) and its table conversion process (displayed as a round shape) are displayed. Display the steps on the screen so that they are clear. In addition, the structure of the common database can be made clear by displaying tables stored in the common database (in the example in the figure, the bill of materials) in different colors from other intermediate result tables (in the example in the figure, the lot table, etc.). Display it on the screen so that it appears.

Furthermore, an option 216 for displaying details of each table conversion content (table conversion command) and an option 215 for inputting more detailed table conversion processing conditions are displayed on the screen. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22, by selecting the option 221 with the mouse, a detailed table conversion command (222) corresponding to the table conversion process name (POI in the example shown) displayed in a circle (224) is displayed. By doing so, a screen is displayed that allows the user to confirm details of whether or not the conversion process requested by the user is being performed correctly.

Starting from the related table, the input table (represented as a rectangle) and its table conversion process (represented as a circle) are displayed on the screen so that the processing procedure is made clear. In addition, the structure of the common database can be made clear by displaying tables stored in the common database (in the example in the figure, the bill of materials) in different colors from other intermediate result tables (in the example in the figure, the lot table, etc.). Display it on the screen so that it appears.

Furthermore, an option 216 for displaying details of each table conversion content (table conversion command) and an option 215 for inputting more detailed table conversion processing conditions are displayed on the screen. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22, by selecting the option 221 with the mouse, a detailed table conversion command (222) corresponding to the table conversion process name (POI in the example shown) displayed in a circle (224) is displayed. By doing so, a screen is displayed that allows the user to confirm details of whether or not the conversion process requested by the user is being performed correctly.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 23, option 2 shown in FIG.
By selecting the mouse at 23, table conversion commands such as 233 are executed in the order from the lower right to the upper left as displayed at 232, and the result (231) is displayed, thereby executing the table conversion process of the request. The mechanism and results will be displayed on the screen so that you can confirm them.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24, option 2 shown in FIG.
By selecting 15 with the mouse, an interactive screen is displayed on which the processing of table conversion commands such as 233 can be instructed in more detail.

In the example shown in the figure, when calculating the parts requirement list, lot N
Regarding o, the number is ``6'' or more, the part name is 'IC' or °° capacitor, and the delivery date is between February 8, 1988 and before March 10, 1988. By enabling instructions to perform calculations on things, the system displays a screen that allows editing, assembling, and table conversion commands to be easily and accurately changed and corrected. As shown, the system uses the formula (2
51a, 251b) and how to use symbols (261a, 2
61b), the screen is displayed so that accurate changes and corrections can be made. Furthermore, by displaying the above-mentioned change/correction results and the execution results of the commands, a screen display is performed that allows the user to confirm details of whether or not the conversion process requested by the user is being performed correctly.

Furthermore, as shown in the example shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 34, when there are multiple table conversion commands related to calculation of the planned order file table and calculation of the parts request table, the user can select the process correctly and execute the process. All selectable table conversion commands are displayed on the screen as options (291, 332). In the example of FIG. 29, it is displayed that table conversion commands (291) corresponding to four economic evaluation indicators can be selected, and the selection results are as shown in 301 of FIG.
A screen display is performed so that it is easy to see what kind of optimization will be performed for which item among the items in the table. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 31 and 32, when the table conversion command for the parts requirement table that becomes the input table is displayed when calculating this planned order file table, the third
In order to confirm that the four table conversion commands can be selected as shown in Figure 3 (332), there is a screen display (311, 321) that can display the table conversion contents for any output table that appears during the table conversion. ), and by selecting option 332 as shown at 342 in FIG.
In the example in Figure 3, the table conversion command named Fixed Period Method was selected), and in connection with that process, the process to obtain the lot table indicates that calculations based on the Fixed Period Method are performed, as shown in 342. Display it on the screen for confirmation.

Furthermore, during table conversion, data attributes (units, value display formats) regarding items with the same name in the input table and the output table may differ from each other. The automatic data attribute conversion means in such a case will be explained using FIG. 36.

Whether or not the unit names related to the items in the conversion destination (output table) are different from the unit names related to the items in the conversion source (input table) can be determined by following the editing and assembly of the table conversion procedure described above.

Therefore, the conversion formula shown in Figure 36 is prepared in advance in the knowledge base (
705), and if the unit name for the conversion destination (output table) item and the unit name for the conversion source (input table) item are different, use the respective unit names as clues to create the necessary conversion formula. You can edit, assemble, and execute table conversion commands based on this, and display the results according to the unit name of the conversion destination.

Furthermore, the output result data obtained by the procedure explained above can be processed accurately by allowing the system user to know what conversion processing command was used and when. In order to prevent database destruction, information about the table conversion process and its execution time is stored along with the output data of the processing results when storing it in the common database.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the system user (operator) can correctly perform information processing that meets the purpose simply by indicating the output specifications, making it possible for non-information processing experts to effectively utilize the system. do. Furthermore, a means is provided for accepting the configuration items of the input/output table and the name of the basic traffic processing from the operator of the information processing system, and a means for displaying the contents of a series of information processing procedures related to the received output table. This allows the operator to input fragmentary information about the names of constituent items in the input/output table or the names of basic people processing processes, and obtain information about the entire system without the help of an operating manual or system experts. Information about the content of the process can be obtained, which can significantly speed up understanding of how the system operates. Furthermore, a plurality of alternatives can be easily obtained, although the specifications of the output table requested by the operator are the same, but the satisfaction level of the evaluation criteria for the information processing results is different.

Furthermore, there is an effect that the time required for processing information regarding the output table requested by the operator can be shortened.
