Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an operator to check the contents of data by observing only an original while listening voice by converting optional data contents of a specified memory area into voice, generating the voice and controlling the speed change and temporary stop operation of the voice output. CONSTITUTION:An access routine (a) to a data base 2 on a work station is started from a CPU 1 and the value of the data is stored in a table of a memory in accordance with a certain reference (e.g. coordinate order). A voice output device 4 connected to an engineering work station converts data (d) obtained from the memory 3 into a voice (d) in accordance with a control instruction (b) obtained from the CPU 1 to output the voice. The control instruction (b) outputted from the CPU 1 to the device 4 includes instructions controlling the output speed change and temporary stop operation and the output mode of the device 4 is changed in accordance with the control instruction.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an engineering workstation;
Especially regarding checking the data registered there.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when manually inputting data such as circuit diagrams and time charts onto an engineering workstation, an operator looks at a draft manuscript, inputs it, and then compares and checks the plot diagram of the registered data with the manuscript. Workstations generally have a function to check the quality of input input, but this is limited to logical items such as connection checks.

[Problems that the invention attempts to solve]

To check whether the 1st section of text on the Fi1 circuit diagram, the change point on the time chart, etc. have been input correctly according to the manuscript on the conventional engineering workstation mentioned above, it is necessary to check both the manuscript and the plot diagram or CRT display. This visual check is very time consuming. Furthermore, 0 and 0, 1 and 5, etc.
Incorrectly inputting similar characters is easy to miss by visual inspection, and in the case of time charts, it is difficult to follow both time axes and terminal axes without missing a beat, and the TAT of input work is difficult.
! This is one of the bottlenecks for shrinkage.

In contrast to the above-mentioned conventional engineering workstation, the present invention is an original technology that allows you to listen to and check the value of the audio output data while looking at the original by connecting all the work stage sensors and audio output devices. It has a certain content.

[Means for solving problems]

The engineering workstation 7 of the present invention has a voice output device, and the voice output device has a function of controlling output speed change and time/stop operation according to control commands from a central control device. have. Here, the database access routine loads the values of attributes required by the operator into the memory on the work stage in a fixed order (for example, coordinate order). According to control instructions from the processor, the audio output device accesses data on the memory and outputs it as audio.

The operator only visually follows the document, checks whether the audio output matches the output value, and makes adjustments by giving speed change or stop commands from the central controller to the audio output device as necessary. Check the data on work stage 1.

〔Example〕 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the present invention.

l is the central control unit for the engineering workstation. An access routine af is activated from 1 to the database 2 on the work stage, and the data is directly stored in a table on the memory 3 according to a certain criterion (for example, coordinate order). The audio output device 4 connected to the engineering workstation 7 outputs the data Cf from the memory 3 instead of the audio d in accordance with the control command from the central control device 1. The control commands from 1 to 4 include those for controlling the output speed change and -time stop operation, and the output mode of 4 is changed in accordance with the control commands.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the thioberator can be outputted by connecting an audio output device to the engineering workstation 7th class and giving it a function to output the spoofed data in the memory as a voice based on the control command. Voice 1: While listening, you will be able to check the data content by looking only at the manuscript. There is no need to compare the original and the plot diagram or CB and T display as in the past, so the time required for checking is shortened.
Characters that are easily misunderstood by visual checking can be read out from the database, which has the effect of increasing the probability of detecting incorrect input. Since it is possible to change the speed of audio output and control operations such as -time stop, it is also possible to perform parallel processing in which the database is corrected at the same time as erroneous input is detected.
