Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a processing device for outputting inspection work instructions and inputting inspection work results through voice input/output in the process of inspecting equipment, equipment, etc.

(Prior Art) In conventional inspection work, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, inspection work instructions are printed out from a computer 1 on a work instruction table 2, and the worker takes the output instruction sheet 2 to a measurement location. After performing visual inspection and meter measurement work 3 and entering the inspection result data in the inspection result entry table 4, the inspection result data can be entered into the computer 1 using the VDT (video display) device 5, or as shown in Fig. 4. After entering the results in result entry table 4, ○C
There is a method of transcribing the results on an R (optical reading device) paper 6, calculating them using the OCR device 7, and inputting them into the calculator 1.As shown in FIG. A method is known in which the data is punched into the card 8 and then inputted into the computer 1 using the CR (card reading) device 9. However, the above method has the following problems.

1) Even if there is an artificial omission in inspection work by the inspection personnel (cutting corners, forgetting to do something, etc.), it will not be known if it is filled out later in the collective entry form, and there will be no record of the results at the work site.

2) The work load when inputting performance data (record entry, transcription, data input, etc.) becomes large, and time is wasted on data input, which reduces the time required for inspection work, which is the original work, and makes it impossible to perform sufficient inspection work. do not have.

3) In order to carry out the work, the worker must carry a work instruction sheet with him, making both his hands useless and making it difficult to ensure safety.

4) Running costs are high as input/output media such as ledgers, OCR paper, paper cards, etc. are required.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention was developed as a result of careful consideration of the problems of conventional methods, such as carrying around books and other documents, and input/output to a computer using paper or cards as input media. The device can be used to directly input and output inspection work instructions and results to a computer.Furthermore, if you want to carry around ledgers, a portable cassette tape recorder can be equipped with this function to provide inspection work instructions and record data. We have devised a device that performs this process.

(Summary of the Invention) The device of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a computer for outputting inspection work instruction code data or inputting inspection work performance code data, and converting the instruction code data into instruction voice data; An inspection consisting of an audio input/output device that converts actual performance audio data into the aforementioned actual performance code data, a portable cassette tape recorder that records instruction audio data of the audio input/output device, and actual audio data of inspection work. It is located in the processing device for work instructions and performance data.

(Structure and operation of the invention) Hereinafter, the apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in FIG.

An audio input/output device 10 for converting code data into audio data and audio data into code data is connected to the computer l, and a cassette tape recorder 11 capable of recording audio data is further connected to the audio input/output device 10. The device is configured. This cassette tape recorder 11 is portable once connected, and has a headset microphone and earphones 12.
It is equipped with Next, the operation of the present invention having such a configuration will be described. When there is equipment to be inspected, the inspection person first requests the computer 1 to output a work instruction using the VDT device 5 or the like. Scheduled work instruction code data is input from the computer 1 to the voice input/output device 10,
The instruction code data is converted into instruction voice data. The converted instruction voice data is sent to the cassette tape recorder 11.
The work instructions will be recorded as voice guidance on the instruction cassette. The inspection person plays the recorded tape, confirms the inspection route, disconnects the recorded cassette tape recorder 11 from the audio input/output device 10, carries it to the location where inspection work is to be carried out, and leaves it there while carrying it. - Visually inspect the equipment and measure meter values while listening to voice inspection instructions through the headset microphone and earphone 12, and record the work results on a cassette tape recorder through the headset microphone and the earphone 12. Record directly to 11 actual utility cents. After completing the inspection work, the inspection person takes the cassette tape recorder 11 home, connects it to the audio input/output device 10 again, and connects it to the VDT device 5.
A request is made to the audio input/output device 1'0 to capture actual audio data.

The audio input/output device 10 takes in audio data from the performance cassette of the cassette tape recorder 11 and converts the audio data into performance code data. The converted performance code data is input to the computer 1 and edited and collected. The performance code data collected by the computer 1 is stored in a performance file (magnetic disk device 13, etc.), and the data is outputted as a ledger from the printer device 14 as needed.
Alternatively, it is displayed on the VDT device 5.

Incidentally, the cassette of the cassette tape recorder 11 may be configured so that instruction data and performance data are played back and recorded in one cassette. Furthermore, instead of the headset microphone and earphone for data input/output of the cassette tape recorder 11, it is also possible to use a throat microphone and earphone, or an ear microphone and earphone.

(Example) Inspection of electrical equipment connected to a rolling line was carried out using the method of the present invention. A computer 1 is installed in the computer center, and includes an audio input/output device 10 and a cassette tape recorder 11.
and VDT device 5 were placed in the factory side office. First, V
The DT device 5 requests the computer 1 to output work instruction code data, and the code data output from the computer 1 is taken into the audio input/output device 10, converted to audio instruction data, and then sent to the cassette tape recorder 11 as the instruction audio data. It was recorded as. An example of this instruction tape is shown in FIG. 2(a). The items listed in the audio data section are input to the tape as audio data. The inspection man is in case 7.
Place this recorded instruction cassette and the unrecorded performance cassette into the table recorder 11, carry it with you, go to the inspection area of the electrical equipment in the rolling mill, and play the instruction cassette while carrying it. Then, in response to voice instructions while listening through earphones, visually inspect the equipment and measure meters, and record the measurement results as audio data on a performance cassette through a microphone.

An example of the recorded performance tape is shown in Figure 2 (b). The items listed in the audio data section are audio data input by the inspection personnel. Carrying the cassette tape recorder 11 into which this audio data has been input, bring it back from the factory to the office, immediately connect it to the audio input/output device IO, import the data, convert the audio data into code data, and further, After inputting the data into the computer, editing and collecting the data on the computer 1, storing it in the performance file, and outputting the ledger or displaying it on the VDT device 5,
We were able to complete the inspection work and data processing in a short time without missing any inspection work.

Speech recognition technology is steadily progressing, and it may eventually be possible to recognize completely unspecified people and unspecified words, but at present,
Further, in consideration of making the device more compact and inexpensive, it is preferable to register the voiceprint of the inspection person and store it on a magnetic disk 13 or a floppy disk (not shown) connected to the audio input/output device 10. In this case, prior to voice input, the inspection person reads his/her own voiceprint from the magnetic disk or the like to the voice input/output device, and the voice input/output device uses the read voiceprint to recognize the input voice.

It is a good idea to also register words to be recognized.In the example device, 1
It was possible to register 500R words (0.2 seconds/word) to 75 words (4 seconds/word), with an average of 500 words (0.6 seconds/word).

The correspondence between the instruction items and the result data can be established, for example, by creating a data array as shown in FIG. That is, there is play between each inspection item on the instruction tape, and during the blank time caused by this play, the inspection person vocalizes the inspection results for the preceding inspection items, which are recorded on the cassette b4. Since playback is performed for cassettes a and b,
The output of cassette b following the output of the inspection item of cassette I□a is the inspection result for the inspection item. The keywords KEYI and KEY are displayed at the top of each inspection item and inspection result.
2. It is easy and reliable to record the information and make correspondence using these keywords.

In addition, if the input voice indicating the inspection result cannot be deciphered on the system side, ■ Play the tape and retry the part that cannot be deciphered - ■ Confirm that the inspection person was unable to decipher it due to alarms, displays, etc. The inspection person then plays the cassette tape and listens to the contents himself.
It is conceivable to use a method such as inputting the voice to the voice input/output device using a microphone connected to the voice input/output device.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention having the above-described configuration and operation has the following effects.

1) Since inspection work is carried out according to voice guidance, there is no possibility of human omission of inspection work, inspection routes and order can be established, and work can be standardized.

2) Data entry speed is faster, making it easier to enter results, post,
