Description

分析システムの管理方法及び分析システムAnalysis system management method and analysis system
　本発明は、対象となる物質の組成、性質、構造等を分析する各種の装置や、対象となる物質の組成、性質、構造、状態等を定性的、定量的に測定する各種の装置（以下、これらを単に分析装置と総称する。）、及び、それらに接続され、それらを制御したりそれらで分析、測定を行うことにより得られたデータを解析するためのコンピュータ（ワークステーション）を含むシステム（以下、これらを単に分析システムとも呼ぶ。）を管理する技術に関する。 The present invention provides various devices for analyzing the composition, properties, structure, etc. of a target substance, and various devices for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring the composition, properties, structure, state, etc. of a target substance (hereinafter referred to as , And these are simply referred to as analysis devices.), And a system including a computer (workstation) connected to them and controlling data obtained by analyzing them and performing analysis and measurement with them. (Hereinafter, these are also simply referred to as analysis systems).
　分析装置の動作が複雑となり、また、得られるデータの量が膨大となるに従い、分析装置自身ではなく、それらに接続されたコンピュータ（ワークステーション）で分析や測定の条件を細かく設定し、設定された条件に基づく分析装置の動作（分析・測定動作）を制御し、そして、それにより得られたデータを解析して人間に分かりやすい形にすることが一般的となってきている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 As the operation of the analyzer becomes complex and the amount of data obtained becomes enormous, the analysis and measurement conditions are set and set in detail by the computer (workstation) connected to them, not the analyzer itself. It has become common to control the operation (analysis / measurement operation) of the analyzer based on the conditions and analyze the data obtained thereby to make it easier for humans to understand (for example, patents) Reference 1).
　そのようなワークステーションを含む分析システムで例えば多数の試料の分析を行う場合、試料の特定や分析順序の指定、各試料に対する詳細な分析条件の設定等は、キーボードやマウス等の入力機器が充実し、画面が見やすいワークステーションで行うのが便利である。また、分析装置で得られた分析データは順次ワークステーションに送られ、そこに蓄積されるが、一連の分析が終了した時点でそうして得られた膨大なデータを解析するにも、入力機器・出力機器が充実し、画面が見やすく、そしてソフトが充実したワークステーションを用いるのが便利である。 For example, when analyzing a large number of samples with an analysis system including such a workstation, input devices such as a keyboard and mouse are available for specifying samples, specifying the analysis order, and setting detailed analysis conditions for each sample. However, it is convenient to do it on a workstation where the screen is easy to see. In addition, the analysis data obtained by the analyzer is sequentially sent to the workstation and stored there. However, when a series of analyzes are completed, the input device can be used to analyze the enormous amount of data thus obtained. -It is convenient to use a workstation with a variety of output devices, easy-to-read screens, and software.
特許第4501498号公報Japanese Patent No. 4501498
　前記の通り、分析装置に関する各種の管理作業のうち、詳細な分析条件の設定や詳細なデータ解析等はワークステーションで行うのが望ましいものの、一旦設定した分析条件の軽微な変更や複数の試料のうちの一部の分析順序の変更、或いは分析の開始という単純な指示等は、むしろ分析装置の近くで試料を見ながら行いたいことも多い。また、多数の試料について一連の分析を行う場合、一連の分析時間は長時間に亘るが、その間、作業者がずっと分析装置やワークステーションの側に居ることはできない。分析が終了する時刻が予め分かっている場合であっても、その時刻の前に予めそれらのところに行くよりも、分析装置等から分析の終了を知らせてもらい、それからそれらの前に行くようにした方が、作業者の全体的な作業効率が高くなる。 As described above, among various management tasks related to the analyzer, it is desirable to set detailed analysis conditions and detailed data analysis on the workstation, but it is possible to make minor changes to the analysis conditions once set or to change multiple samples. Often, a simple instruction such as changing a part of the analysis sequence or starting the analysis is rather performed while looking at the sample near the analyzer. In addition, when a series of analyzes are performed on a large number of samples, the series of analysis times takes a long time, but during that time, the worker cannot stay on the side of the analyzer or workstation. Even if you know the time when the analysis ends in advance, rather than go to those places in advance before that time, let the analyzer know the end of the analysis, and then go before them This increases the overall work efficiency of the worker.
　そのような理由から、近年では、作業者が携帯することのできるスマートフォンやタブレット、腕時計型端末等の携帯情報端末を、無線LANやインターネット経由でワークステーションに接続し、当該携帯情報端末からワークステーションを経由して分析装置を管理したいという要望も多くなってきている。特に、ワークステーションが複数の分析装置を管理している場合には、ワークステーションでの作業が重複することが多くなるが、複数の作業者が、それぞれが保有する携帯情報端末で、それぞれが担当する分析装置に関する管理作業を行うようにすれば、ワークステーションでの作業の重複を避けることができ、分析装置の利用効率及び作業者の作業効率が向上するという利点もある。 For these reasons, in recent years, portable information terminals such as smartphones, tablets, and wristwatch-type terminals that can be carried by workers are connected to a workstation via a wireless LAN or the Internet. There is also a growing demand for managing analyzers via the Internet. In particular, when a workstation manages multiple analyzers, the work on the workstation often overlaps, but multiple workers are responsible for each of the personal digital assistants that they own. If the management work related to the analyzer is performed, duplication of work at the workstation can be avoided, and there is an advantage that the utilization efficiency of the analyzer and the work efficiency of the worker are improved.
　ところで近年、とりわけ食品、医薬品、医療用具等に関連する研究施設ではＧＬＰ（Good Laboratory Practice）やＧＭＰ（Good Manufacturing Practice）等の製造管理及び品質管理の基準（ガイドライン）に対応することが求められている。これらの基準に対応するためには、分析システム等の管理状態を所定のレベル以上に保っておくことの他、分析システム等を操作したり分析データを取り扱う者に関する記録（ログ）を残しておくことが必須とされる。そのため、作業者がワークステーションでの作業を開始する際には所定の認証作業を行う必要があり、ワークステーションに接続された携帯情報端末で作業を行う場合も同様の認証作業が必要となる。認証作業は、一般に、無関係の者が容易に侵入することができないよう、多数桁の英数文字を入力する等の煩雑な操作が要求される。しかしながら、そのような煩雑な操作を携帯情報端末で行うのは難しい。 By the way, in recent years, research facilities related to food, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, etc., are required to comply with manufacturing management and quality control standards (guidelines) such as GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). Yes. In order to comply with these standards, in addition to maintaining the management state of the analysis system etc. at a predetermined level or more, a record (log) relating to the person who operates the analysis system or handles the analysis data is left. It is essential. For this reason, when the worker starts work on the workstation, it is necessary to perform a predetermined authentication work, and the same authentication work is also required when working on a portable information terminal connected to the workstation. The authentication work generally requires a complicated operation such as inputting a multi-digit alphanumeric character so that an unrelated person cannot easily enter. However, it is difficult to perform such complicated operations on the portable information terminal.

First authentication>
When analyzing the sample with the analysis system 100, the operator first turns on the power of the analysis apparatus 1 and sets the sample at a predetermined position in the analysis apparatus 1. Thereafter, the worker goes to the management apparatus 2 and turns on the management apparatus 2. When the management apparatus 2 is turned on, the management program 200 is started up, and the operator performs management work of the analysis system 100 from the management apparatus 2 (including creation of analysis conditions, control of the analysis apparatus 1, analysis of analysis data, etc. Work). However, in order for an operator to perform management work using the management device 2, authentication (first authentication) must be received from the management device 2. The flow of processing relating to this authentication will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the flow of the processing. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a screen (screen requesting input of authentication information) 230 displayed on the management apparatus 2. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the paper 8 on which the imaging authentication information is printed.
　まず、第１認証部２０１が、図５に例示される画面２３０をモニタ２３に表示させて、作業者に認証情報の入力を要求する（ステップＳ１）。「認証情報」とは、作業者が管理装置２を利用するために必要とされる情報であり、例えば管理装置２の管理者が、管理装置２の使用を許可する者に対して予め発行している。発行された認証情報は、記憶部２５に登録される。認証情報は、具体的には例えば、ＩＤ（識別情報）とパスワードの組み合わせからなり、ＩＤおよびパスワードの各々は、例えば、多数桁の記号（例えば、英数文字）の羅列である。 First, the first authentication unit 201 displays the screen 230 illustrated in FIG. 5 on the monitor 23 and requests the worker to input authentication information (step S1). “Authentication information” is information required for an operator to use the management apparatus 2, and is issued in advance by a manager of the management apparatus 2 to a person who permits the use of the management apparatus 2, for example. ing. The issued authentication information is registered in the storage unit 25. Specifically, the authentication information includes, for example, a combination of an ID (identification information) and a password, and each of the ID and password is, for example, an enumeration of multi-digit symbols (for example, alphanumeric characters).
　作業者が入力部２４を介して認証情報（具体的には、ＩＤおよびパスワード）を入力すると（ステップＳ２でＹＥＳ）、第１認証部２０１は当該入力を受け付ける。そして、当該入力された認証情報が、記憶部２５に登録されている情報（登録情報）と一致するか否かを判断する（ステップＳ３）。 When the worker inputs authentication information (specifically, ID and password) via the input unit 24 (YES in step S2), the first authentication unit 201 receives the input. Then, it is determined whether or not the input authentication information matches the information (registration information) registered in the storage unit 25 (step S3).
　入力された認証情報が登録情報と一致すると判断した場合（ステップＳ３でＹＥＳ）、第１認証部２０１は、当該作業者を認証して（第１認証）、当該作業者に管理装置２の利用（具体的には、管理装置２を利用した管理作業）を許可する（ログイン）（ステップＳ４）。作業者が認証されると、モニタ２３には、例えば、管理作業に係る各種の入力操作を受け付けるための画面が表示され、作業者は当該画面から各種の管理作業を行うことができるようになる。作業者が管理装置２を利用して行った管理作業は、その全てが、当該作業者の認証情報と対応付けて記録され、操作ログとして記憶部２５に蓄積される。 When it is determined that the input authentication information matches the registration information (YES in step S3), the first authentication unit 201 authenticates the worker (first authentication) and uses the management device 2 to the worker. (Specifically, management work using the management device 2) is permitted (login) (step S4). When the worker is authenticated, for example, a screen for receiving various input operations related to the management work is displayed on the monitor 23, and the worker can perform various management work from the screen. . All management work performed by the worker using the management device 2 is recorded in association with the authentication information of the worker, and is stored in the storage unit 25 as an operation log.
　ステップＳ４で認証された作業者は、例えば、管理装置２を利用してメソッドファイルを作成することができる。「メソッドファイル」とは、分析条件等をまとめたファイルであり、分析システム１００では、作業者が指定したメソッドファイルにしたがって、試料の分析および解析が行われることになる。つまり、１個のメソッドファイルにしたがって行われる分析および解析の一連の処理は、分析システム１００における１個のタスクに対応する。ただし、作業者は、必ずしも、メソッドファイルを一から作成する必要はなく、過去に作成されたメソッドファイルを選択してそれをそのまま使用してもよいし、過去に作成されたメソッドファイルの一部を修正して使用してもよい。管理装置２の入力部２４は、キーボードやマウス等を含んで構成されるため、これらを利用することによって、メソッドファイルの作成、選択、修正等を容易に行える。 The worker who is authenticated in step S4 can create a method file by using the management device 2, for example. A “method file” is a file that summarizes analysis conditions and the like. In the analysis system 100, analysis and analysis of a sample are performed according to a method file designated by an operator. That is, a series of processes of analysis and analysis performed according to one method file corresponds to one task in the analysis system 100. However, the operator does not necessarily need to create a method file from scratch. A method file created in the past can be selected and used as it is, or a part of a method file created in the past can be used. You may modify and use. Since the input unit 24 of the management apparatus 2 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, the method file can be easily created, selected, modified, and the like by using these.
　ステップＳ４で作業者の認証がなされると、続いて、認証情報変換部２０２が、当該認証された作業者の認証情報を、携帯情報端末３での扱いが容易な形態（具体的には、画像）に変換する（ステップＳ５）。上述したとおり、この実施形態では、認証情報はＩＤとパスワードを含み、これらはいずれも多数桁の記号の羅列の形態となっているところ、認証情報変換部２０２は、ＩＤを例えばバーコード（図示の例では、二次元バーコード）８１に変換し、パスワードを、予め定められたアルゴリズムを用いて例えば図形８２に変換する。各変換によって得られた画像は、作業者の認証に関する情報を含むことになる。なお、各変換に係るアルゴリズムにおいては、例えば、作業者が第１認証を受けた日時等が加味されることが好ましい。つまり、同じ認証情報であっても、第１認証を受けた日時等が異なれば、異なる画像に変換されることが好ましい。 When the worker is authenticated in step S4, the authentication information conversion unit 202 subsequently handles the authenticated worker authentication information in a form that can be easily handled by the portable information terminal 3 (specifically, Image) (step S5). As described above, in this embodiment, the authentication information includes an ID and a password, both of which are in the form of a multi-digit symbol list, and the authentication information conversion unit 202 converts the ID into, for example, a barcode (illustrated). In this example, the password is converted into a two-dimensional barcode 81, and the password is converted into, for example, a figure 82 using a predetermined algorithm. The image obtained by each conversion includes information related to worker authentication. In addition, in the algorithm which concerns on each conversion, it is preferable to consider the date etc. when the operator received 1st authentication, for example. That is, even if the authentication information is the same, if the date and time when the first authentication is received is different, it is preferable that the authentication information is converted into a different image.
　続いて、認証情報出力部２０３が、認証情報変換部２０２によって画像に変換された認証情報（以下、画像化認証情報ともいう）を、出力する（ステップＳ６）。画像化認証情報を出力する態様はどのようなものであってもよいが、ここでは、管理装置２と接続されたプリンタ（図示省略）で、紙等の媒体に画像化認証情報を印刷させることによって、画像化認証情報を出力する。図６には、画像化認証情報（すなわち、ＩＤを示すバーコード８１、および、パスワードを示す図形８２）が印刷された紙８が例示されている。
　後に明らかになるように、作業者は、画像化認証情報が印刷された紙８を使って第２認証を受けて、携帯情報端末３から管理作業を行うことができる。ただし、作業者が第２認証を受けることができるのは、当該作業者が管理装置２にログインしている間に限られる。したがって、作業者は、管理装置２にログインしてそこから必要な管理作業を行った後は、管理装置２にログインしたままの状態で、この紙８を持って管理装置２の側から離れて、必要なタイミングで第２認証を受けて、管理装置２から離れた場所で携帯情報端末３から各種の管理作業を行えばよい。 Subsequently, the authentication information output unit 203 outputs the authentication information (hereinafter also referred to as imaging authentication information) converted into an image by the authentication information conversion unit 202 (step S6). The imaging authentication information may be output in any manner, but here, the imaging authentication information is printed on a medium such as paper by a printer (not shown) connected to the management apparatus 2. To output imaging authentication information. FIG. 6 illustrates the paper 8 on which the imaging authentication information (that is, the barcode 81 indicating the ID and the graphic 82 indicating the password) is printed.
As will be apparent later, the operator can perform management work from the portable information terminal 3 by receiving the second authentication using the paper 8 on which the imaging authentication information is printed. However, the worker can receive the second authentication only while the worker is logged in to the management apparatus 2. Therefore, after logging in to the management device 2 and performing the necessary management work from there, the worker leaves the management device 2 with the paper 8 while logged in to the management device 2. The second authentication may be received at a necessary timing, and various management operations may be performed from the portable information terminal 3 at a location away from the management device 2.
　＜３．第２認証＞
　管理装置２からこれを利用するための認証（第１認証）を受けた作業者が、携帯情報端末３を介して管理装置２を利用して管理作業を行うためには、そのための認証（第２認証）を改めて受けなければならない。この認証に係る処理の流れについて、図６～図８を参照しながら説明する。図７は、当該処理の流れを示す図である。図８は、携帯情報端末３に表示される画面（画像化認証情報の入力を要求する画面）３３０の構成例を示す図である。 <3. Second authentication>
In order for a worker who has received authentication (first authentication) to use this from the management device 2 to perform management work using the management device 2 via the portable information terminal 3, the authentication (first authentication) 2 certification) must be received again. The flow of processing related to this authentication will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the flow of the processing. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a screen (screen requesting input of imaging authentication information) 330 displayed on the portable information terminal 3.
　作業者は、携帯情報端末３を介して管理装置２を利用して管理作業を行いたい場合、携帯情報端末３のブラウザを立ち上げて、ブラウザから管理装置２（具体的には、管理装置２が保持しているホームページ）にアクセスする（ステップＳ１１）。ただし、分析システム１００が複数の分析装置１を含む場合、管理装置２は各分析装置１に対応するホームページ（アドレス）を別個に保持しており、作業者はブラウザから、自身が管理対象とする分析装置１に対応するホームページにアクセスする。 When the worker wants to perform management work using the management device 2 via the portable information terminal 3, the worker starts up the browser of the portable information terminal 3 and starts the management device 2 (specifically, the management device 2 from the browser). Is accessed (step S11). However, when the analysis system 100 includes a plurality of analysis apparatuses 1, the management apparatus 2 separately holds a home page (address) corresponding to each analysis apparatus 1, and the operator himself / herself is a management target from the browser. The homepage corresponding to the analyzer 1 is accessed.
　携帯情報端末３が管理装置２のホームページにアクセスすると（ステップＳ１２でＹＥＳ）、管理装置２は、当該携帯情報端末３に認証情報を要求する（ステップＳ１３）。具体的には、携帯端末画面３３に、図８に例示されるウェブ画面３３０を表示させて、携帯情報端末３の作業者に画像化認証情報の入力を要求する。 When the mobile information terminal 3 accesses the home page of the management device 2 (YES in step S12), the management device 2 requests authentication information from the mobile information terminal 3 (step S13). Specifically, the web screen 330 illustrated in FIG. 8 is displayed on the mobile terminal screen 33, and the operator of the mobile information terminal 3 is requested to input imaging authentication information.
　上述したとおり、第１認証を受けた作業者に対しては、画像化認証情報が印刷された紙８が発行されている。そこで、当該作業者は、携帯情報端末３のカメラ３５で、紙８に印刷されたバーコード８１を読み取る（撮像する）。これによって、当該バーコード８１が携帯情報端末３に入力される。さらに、作業者は、紙８に印刷された図形８２を見ながら、画面３３０上の図形入力領域３３１内において、当該図形８２と同じ形を指でなぞる。これによって、当該図形８２が携帯情報端末３にタッチパネル入力される。 As described above, the paper 8 on which the imaging authentication information is printed is issued to the worker who has received the first authentication. Therefore, the worker reads (captures) the barcode 81 printed on the paper 8 with the camera 35 of the portable information terminal 3. As a result, the barcode 81 is input to the portable information terminal 3. Further, the operator traces the same shape as that of the figure 82 in the figure input area 331 on the screen 330 while looking at the figure 82 printed on the paper 8. Thereby, the figure 82 is touch-panel input to the portable information terminal 3.
　画像化認証情報が入力されると（ステップＳ１４でＹＥＳ）、携帯情報端末３は、当該入力された画像化認証情報から認証情報を特定する（ステップＳ１５）。具体的には、携帯情報端末３は、バーコード８１を解析してそこからＩＤを読み出すとともに、図形８２からこの変換元となったパスワードを特定する。上述したとおり、この実施形態では、ＩＤおよびパスワードの各々は、例えば、多数桁の記号の羅列である。認証情報が特定されると、携帯情報端末３は、当該特定した認証情報を管理装置２に送信する（ステップＳ１６）。 When the imaging authentication information is input (YES in step S14), the portable information terminal 3 specifies the authentication information from the input imaging authentication information (step S15). Specifically, the portable information terminal 3 analyzes the barcode 81 and reads the ID from the barcode 81 and identifies the password that is the conversion source from the graphic 82. As described above, in this embodiment, each of the ID and the password is, for example, an enumeration of multi-digit symbols. When the authentication information is specified, the portable information terminal 3 transmits the specified authentication information to the management device 2 (step S16).
　認証情報を受信すると（ステップＳ１７でＹＥＳ）、管理装置２の第２認証部２０４は、受信した認証情報（具体的には、ＩＤおよびパスワード）が登録情報と一致するか否かを判断し、さらに、当該認証情報に係る作業者が管理装置２にログイン中であるか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１８）。 When the authentication information is received (YES in step S17), the second authentication unit 204 of the management device 2 determines whether or not the received authentication information (specifically, ID and password) matches the registration information, Further, it is determined whether or not the worker related to the authentication information is logging in to the management apparatus 2 (step S18).
　認証情報が登録情報と一致し、かつ、当該認証情報に係る作業者が管理装置２にログイン中であると判断した場合（ステップＳ１８でＹＥＳ）、第２認証部２０４は、当該作業者を認証して（第２認証）、当該作業者に、携帯情報端末３を介した管理装置２の利用を許可する（ステップＳ１９）。 When it is determined that the authentication information matches the registration information and the worker related to the authentication information is logged in to the management apparatus 2 (YES in step S18), the second authentication unit 204 authenticates the worker. Then (second authentication), the worker is permitted to use the management device 2 via the portable information terminal 3 (step S19).
　作業者が認証されると、携帯端末画面３３に、例えば、管理作業に係る各種の入力操作を受け付けるためのウェブ画面を表示することが許可される（ステップＳ２０）。携帯情報端末３に当該画面が表示されると、作業者は当該画面から各種の管理作業を行うことができるようになる（ステップＳ２１）。すなわち、作業者が携帯情報端末３の当該ウェブ画面から行った各種の操作は、携帯情報端末３にて受け付けられて、管理装置２に送信され、管理装置２での管理作業として反映される。つまり、作業者は、携帯情報端末３から各種の管理作業を行うことができる。作業者が携帯情報端末３を介して行った管理作業も、その全てが、当該作業者の認証情報と対応付けて記録され、操作ログとして管理装置２の記憶部２５に蓄積される。 When the worker is authenticated, the mobile terminal screen 33 is permitted to display, for example, a web screen for receiving various input operations related to the management work (step S20). When the screen is displayed on the portable information terminal 3, the worker can perform various management operations from the screen (step S21). That is, various operations performed by the worker from the web screen of the portable information terminal 3 are received by the portable information terminal 3, transmitted to the management apparatus 2, and reflected as management work in the management apparatus 2. That is, the worker can perform various management operations from the portable information terminal 3. All of the management work performed by the worker via the portable information terminal 3 is recorded in association with the authentication information of the worker and is stored in the storage unit 25 of the management device 2 as an operation log.
　作業者は、例えば、携帯情報端末３からメソッドファイルを修正することができる。また例えば、作業者は、携帯情報端末３からメソッドファイルにて指定されるタスクを分析装置１で実行開始させるための指示を入力することができる。ただし、第２認証を受けた作業者には、特定のメソッドファイル（具体的には、当該作業者が第１認証を受けた後に管理装置２で行った管理作業で対象としていたメソッドファイル）に関する管理作業のみが許可され、他のメソッドファイルに関する管理作業は禁止されることが好ましい。このように携帯情報端末３を介した管理作業の範囲を制限することで、分析システム１００の管理状態の安全レベルを高めることができる。 The worker can modify the method file from the portable information terminal 3, for example. Further, for example, the worker can input an instruction for starting execution of the task specified by the method file from the portable information terminal 3 using the analysis apparatus 1. However, the worker who has received the second authentication has a specific method file (specifically, the method file targeted by the management work performed by the management apparatus 2 after the worker has received the first authentication). It is preferable that only management work is permitted and management work related to other method files is prohibited. Thus, by limiting the scope of management work via the portable information terminal 3, the safety level of the management state of the analysis system 100 can be increased.
　＜４．効果＞
　上記の実施形態によると、管理装置２において作業者の第１認証が行われた後、該作業者の認証に関する情報を含む画像が出力され、出力された画像が携帯情報端末３で読み取られると、その画像に基づいて作業者の第２認証がなされる。第２認証された作業者にはその携帯情報端末３を介した管理装置２の利用が許可され、当該作業者は携帯情報端末３から管理作業を行うことができるようになる。つまり、作業者は、携帯情報端末３から管理作業を行いたい場合に、携帯情報端末３に画像を読み取らせることによって認証に関する情報を簡単かつ確実に入力して第２認証を受けることができる。このように、上記の実施形態に係る分析システム１００では、簡易な方法で確実な認証を行うことが可能となり、携帯情報端末３を使用した管理作業が容易になる。 <4. Effect>
According to the above embodiment, after the first authentication of the worker is performed in the management device 2, an image including information related to the authentication of the worker is output, and the output image is read by the portable information terminal 3. The second authentication of the worker is performed based on the image. The second authenticated worker is allowed to use the management device 2 via the portable information terminal 3, and the worker can perform management work from the portable information terminal 3. That is, when the operator wants to perform management work from the portable information terminal 3, the worker can input the information related to authentication easily and surely and receive the second authentication by causing the portable information terminal 3 to read an image. Thus, in the analysis system 100 according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to perform reliable authentication with a simple method, and management work using the portable information terminal 3 is facilitated.
　また、上記の実施形態によると、第１認証に用いられる認証情報が多数桁の記号の羅列であり、これが画像に変換された上で出力され、当該画像が第２認証に用いられる。この構成によると、一人の作業者について、認証情報を２個発行する必要がないので、認証情報の管理が容易になるとともに安全性が高まる。また、一人の作業者が、管理装置２から行った管理作業のログと、携帯情報端末３を介して行った管理作業のログとを、１個の認証情報で紐付けて一連の操作ログとして残すことができるので、ログ情報の管理も容易になる。 Also, according to the above-described embodiment, the authentication information used for the first authentication is an enumeration of multi-digit symbols, which are output after being converted into an image, and the image is used for the second authentication. According to this configuration, since it is not necessary to issue two pieces of authentication information for one worker, management of the authentication information is facilitated and safety is enhanced. In addition, a single operator associates a log of management work performed from the management device 2 and a log of management work performed via the portable information terminal 3 with a single piece of authentication information as a series of operation logs. Since it can be left, log information can be easily managed.
　また、上記の実施形態によると、作業者は、印刷された紙８を持っておき、携帯情報端末３から管理作業を行いたいときに、紙８に印刷されたバーコード８１を携帯情報端末３で読み取って、第２認証を受けることができる。この構成によると、作業者は、任意のタイミングで第２認証を受けることができる。 Further, according to the above embodiment, when the operator holds the printed paper 8 and wants to perform management work from the portable information terminal 3, the operator prints the barcode 81 printed on the paper 8. And can receive the second authentication. According to this configuration, the worker can receive the second authentication at an arbitrary timing.
　また、上記の実施形態によると、作業者が管理装置２にログインしている間に限り、当該作業者が携帯情報端末３を介して管理装置２を利用することが許可される。したがって、他人が携帯情報端末３を介して管理装置２を不正に利用する危険が低減される。 Further, according to the above embodiment, the worker is permitted to use the management device 2 via the portable information terminal 3 only while the worker is logged in to the management device 2. Therefore, the risk that another person illegally uses the management device 2 via the portable information terminal 3 is reduced.
　＜５．変形例＞
　上記の実施形態において、認証情報変換部２０２は、多数桁の記号の羅列の形態であるＩＤおよびパスワードの各々を、二次元バーコード８１および図形８２に変換していたが、認証情報を画像に変換する態様はこれに限らない。例えば、ＩＤおよびパスワードの一方あるいは両方を、二次元バーコード、一次元バーコード、あるいは図形に変換してもよい。 <5. Modification>
In the above embodiment, the authentication information conversion unit 202 converts each ID and password in the form of a multi-digit symbol sequence into the two-dimensional barcode 81 and the figure 82. However, the authentication information is converted into an image. The mode of conversion is not limited to this. For example, one or both of the ID and password may be converted into a two-dimensional barcode, a one-dimensional barcode, or a graphic.
　上記の実施形態において、画像化認証情報の出力は、紙等の媒体への印刷に限らない。例えば、画像化認証情報は、管理装置２のモニタ２３に表示させることによって出力されてもよい。この場合、作業者は、例えば、画像化認証情報が表示されている画面を直接に携帯情報端末３のカメラ３５で撮像することによって、携帯情報端末３にバーコード８１を読み取らせて（入力して）、第２認証を受けることができる。この構成によると、例えば作業者が管理装置２から離れるまでに当該画像をモニタ２３から消しておくことによって、作業者の認証に関する情報を含む画像が、他人に漏洩する危険が低くなる。
　なお、画像化認証情報の出力は、２以上の態様でなされてもよい。例えば、画像化認証情報を紙等の媒体へ印刷するとともに、管理装置２のモニタ２３に表示させてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the output of the imaging authentication information is not limited to printing on a medium such as paper. For example, the imaging authentication information may be output by being displayed on the monitor 23 of the management apparatus 2. In this case, for example, the operator directly captures (inputs) the barcode 81 on the portable information terminal 3 by directly capturing the screen on which the imaging authentication information is displayed with the camera 35 of the portable information terminal 3. And second authentication can be received. According to this configuration, for example, by erasing the image from the monitor 23 before the worker leaves the management device 2, the risk that an image including information relating to the worker's authentication is leaked to another person is reduced.
Note that the imaging authentication information may be output in two or more modes. For example, the imaging authentication information may be printed on a medium such as paper and displayed on the monitor 23 of the management apparatus 2.
　上記の実施形態では、携帯情報端末３で特定された認証情報が携帯情報端末３から管理装置２に送信され、管理装置２で、認証情報が登録情報と一致するか否かの判断を行っている（図７のステップＳ１６～ステップＳ１９）が、これらの処理の少なくとも一部が携帯情報端末３で行われてもよい。例えば、携帯情報端末３が、特定された認証情報が登録情報と一致するか否かの問い合わせを管理装置２に対して行い、管理装置２からの回答に応じて携帯情報端末３が認証するか否かを判断してもよい。 In the above embodiment, the authentication information specified by the portable information terminal 3 is transmitted from the portable information terminal 3 to the management device 2, and the management device 2 determines whether the authentication information matches the registration information. 7 (step S16 to step S19 in FIG. 7), at least a part of these processes may be performed by the portable information terminal 3. For example, whether the portable information terminal 3 makes an inquiry to the management device 2 as to whether or not the specified authentication information matches the registered information, and whether the portable information terminal 3 authenticates in response to a response from the management device 2 It may be determined whether or not.
　上記の実施形態では、携帯情報端末３が画像化認証情報から認証情報を特定していたが（図７のステップＳ１５）、この処理は管理装置２で行われてもよい。すなわち、携帯情報端末３から管理装置２に画像化認証情報が送信されて、管理装置２が受信した画像化認証情報から認証情報を特定してもよい。 In the above embodiment, the mobile information terminal 3 specifies the authentication information from the imaging authentication information (step S15 in FIG. 7), but this process may be performed by the management device 2. That is, imaging authentication information may be transmitted from the portable information terminal 3 to the management device 2 and the authentication information may be specified from the imaging authentication information received by the management device 2.
　上記の実施形態において、携帯情報端末３から管理装置２に認証情報を送信するにあたって（図７のステップＳ１６）、携帯情報端末３から、分析装置１を経由して、管理装置２に認証情報を送信する構成であってもよい。 In the above embodiment, when transmitting the authentication information from the portable information terminal 3 to the management device 2 (step S16 in FIG. 7), the authentication information is sent from the portable information terminal 3 to the management device 2 via the analysis device 1. The structure which transmits may be sufficient.
　上記の実施形態において、作業者が第２認証を受けた後に、管理装置２から当該作業者の携帯情報端末３に、当該作業者が管理対象としているメソッドファイルに関する各種の情報を送信する構成としてもよい。
　例えば、管理装置２から携帯情報端末３（第２認証を受けた作業者の携帯情報端末３）に、分析装置１や管理装置２における処理の進行状況（当該メソッドファイルに係る処理の進行状況）を送信してもよい。この構成によると、作業者は、定期的に管理装置２（あるいは、分析装置１）のところまで行って、処理の進行状況を確認する必要がなくなる。
　また例えば、分析装置１や管理装置２における処理（当該メソッドファイルに係る処理）の途中で、何らかの異常等が発生した場合に、その旨を管理装置２から当該携帯情報端末３に送信してもよい。この構成によると、分析装置１あるいは管理装置２で発生した異常を、迅速に作業者に知得させることができる。 In the above-described embodiment, after the worker receives the second authentication, the management device 2 transmits various types of information related to the method file managed by the worker to the portable information terminal 3 of the worker. Also good.
For example, the progress of the process in the analysis apparatus 1 or the management apparatus 2 (the progress of the process related to the method file) from the management apparatus 2 to the portable information terminal 3 (the portable information terminal 3 of the worker who has received the second authentication) May be sent. According to this configuration, the operator does not need to periodically go to the management device 2 (or the analysis device 1) to check the progress of the process.
Further, for example, if some abnormality or the like occurs in the middle of the processing (processing related to the method file) in the analysis device 1 or the management device 2, even if this is transmitted from the management device 2 to the portable information terminal 3 Good. According to this configuration, the operator can quickly be made aware of an abnormality that has occurred in the analysis device 1 or the management device 2.
　上記の実施形態において、画像化認証情報の出力（図４のステップＳ６）は、作業者からの指示があった場合にのみ、当該指示に応じて実行されてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the output of the imaging authentication information (step S6 in FIG. 4) may be executed only in response to an instruction from the worker in response to the instruction.
