Description

System and method for generating plug-in prompts based on material attribute data and plug-in rules

A system and method for prompting the installation location of materials, in particular, a system and method for generating instrumentation prompts based on material attribute data and instrumentation rules.

At present, most of the installation work of computing equipment is to define corresponding installation rules for each computing device. The operator completes the installation of each material in the bill of materials according to the defined installation rules and installation experience. However, this installation method often requires the operator to have sufficient experience, and at the same time, carefully confirm the specifications and installation rules of each material, otherwise it is easy to happen that the material does not meet the installation rules or is installed in an incorrect position.

In order to solve this problem, there are currently auxiliary software that give installation prompts when the operator installs the materials. When the operator installs the material, he can scan the material number of the material to be installed, and the auxiliary software can read the location information of the material based on the scanned material number, and display the read location information, so as to give the operator the corresponding installation Hint, in this way, the auxiliary software can provide direct and effective assistance when the operator installs materials.

But in fact, before the operator installs the material, he needs to set the location information of each material in the material list in the auxiliary software, otherwise the auxiliary software will not be able to give the installation prompt when the operator installs the material. Therefore, the above-mentioned auxiliary software still needs to rely on experienced operators to carefully confirm the installation rules before setting the location information of each material. Once the number of materials in the bill of materials is very large, it will take a lot of time to set the location information of the materials.

In this embodiment, the operator can input the identification data of the hard drive by scanning the code, and the insertion prompt module 190 can obtain the hard drive's assembly location data after obtaining the input identification data of the hard drive, and then according to the hard drive After the installation location data of the hard disk and the template data corresponding to the hard disk generate the hard disk installation prompt, the hard disk installation prompt is displayed through the display.

In this way, the operator can install each material indicated in the material list one by one on the target device according to the plug-in prompt generated by the present invention.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, as shown in the process of "Figure 2B", the assembly location data definition generated by the template definition module 150 according to the location judgment module 130 corresponds to the material indicated by the material number in the bill of materials In the template data (step 250), the template definition module 150 can read the attribute data of the material represented by the material list generated by the list definition module 120 from the attribute data of the material created by the data acquisition module 110, and The identification data of the template data defined by the template definition module 150 is generated according to the read attribute data of the material (step 260). Assume that the identification data of the template data is also used as the name of the template data.

Then, when the template selection module 170 selects the template data corresponding to the materials indicated in the material list according to the material list generated by the list definition module 120 (step 270), the insertion prompt module 190 can determine the module 130 according to the position The generated assembly location data generates an insertion prompt for the material corresponding to the template data defined by the template definition module 150 (step 290). Wherein, the insertion prompt module 190 may also load the base map recorded in the template data defined by the template definition module 150 when the insertion prompt is generated (step 280). In this way, when the plug-in prompt module 190 displays the plug-in prompt, it can also display the base map, so that the operator can more clearly understand the installation location of the material corresponding to the template data.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that the assembly location data of the materials in the bill of materials is generated according to the attribute data of the materials in the bill of materials and the inserting rules, and the material is defined according to the attribute data of the materials.
