(Step S200) The server communication unit 310 receives the container-related information transmitted by the liquid material discharge device 100 from the network 400. The server communication control unit 302 transmits the container-related information received by the server communication unit 310 to the server control unit 301.

(Step S210) The server control unit 301 updates the record of the container database 3031 when it is necessary to update it based on the received container-related information.

For example, when the "status" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "shipped" for the container of the received container-related information, the "equipment used" and "container storage unit" of the corresponding record of the container database 3031 are For example, it is "unused". Therefore, the "device used" of the corresponding record is updated with the device identification number of the received container-related information. Further, the "container storage unit" of the corresponding record is updated based on the information of the container storage unit 120 in which the container 500 included in the received container-related information is stored. Furthermore, the "status" of the corresponding record is updated to "in use". By processing in this way, it is not necessary to control which liquid material discharge device 100 the container 500 is used for at the time of shipment, and the container 500 and the liquid material discharge device 100 can be associated with each other later. .. Further, if the user (user) of the liquid material discharge device 100 is known, it is possible to determine which user (user) is using the container 500.

(Step S220) The server control unit 301 instructs the liquid material discharge device 100 to perform a predetermined process based on the received container-related information. Further, if necessary, the server control unit 301 instructs the information processing terminal 200 to perform a predetermined process based on the received container-related information. Specifically, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction that defines the instruction content for a predetermined process, and instructs the liquid material discharge device 100 or the information processing terminal 200 to operate the operation instruction via the server communication unit 310. To send.

An example of an operation instruction created by the server control unit 301 will be described.

(Example 1) Replacement of container For the container of the received container-related information, the "status" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "no remaining amount", and the device identification number and the container storage unit of the received container-related information. If the information in is the same as the "equipment used" or "container storage unit" of the corresponding record in the container database 3031, it is determined that the remaining amount is exhausted as a result of using the container 500. Then, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for causing the liquid material discharge device 100 to replace the corresponding container 500, and an operation instruction for causing the information processing terminal 200 to display a display prompting the replacement of the container.

(Example 2) Warning of incorrect insertion of empty container For the container of the received container-related information, the "status" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "no remaining amount", and the device identification number of the received container-related information. If the information in the container storage unit is different from the “equipment used” or “container storage unit” in the corresponding record of the container database 3031, it is determined that the container 500 in which the liquid material is empty has been erroneously inserted. Then, the server control unit 301 causes the liquid material discharge device 100 to re-exchange the corresponding container 500, and causes the information processing terminal 200 to warn of erroneous insertion and display an operation prompting to replace the container. , To create.

(Example 3) Exchange due to expiration date When the "expiration date" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 has passed the date and time of operation for the container of the received container-related information, the server control unit 301 uses the liquid material discharge device. An operation instruction for exchanging the corresponding container 500 to 100 and an operation instruction for causing the information processing terminal 200 to warn the expiration of the expiration date and to display a prompt to exchange the container are created.

(Example 4) Warning of erroneous insertion into a container storage portion different from a predetermined container storage portion The liquid material discharge device 100 uses a rotary table 110. The container to be stored in the container storage unit 120 of the rotary table 110 is determined by the liquid body group. Therefore, if the "container storage unit" of the received container-related information is different from the "container storage unit" corresponding to the liquid material group of the "liquid material type" of the received container-related information, it is different from the predetermined container storage unit. Judge that it is erroneously inserted into the container storage section. Then, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for causing the liquid material discharge device 100 to exchange the position of the corresponding container 500 and notify that the product is not a corresponding product. In addition, the server control unit 301 creates an operation instruction for causing the information processing terminal 200 to warn of erroneous insertion into a different position and to display a display prompting the exchange of the position of the container.

(Step S150) The device control unit 141 controls the communication control unit 142 and receives an operation instruction from the server device 300 via the communication unit 180.

(Step S160) The device control unit 141 controls the liquid material discharge device 100 based on the received operation instruction.

(Step S300) The information processing terminal 200 performs processing based on the received operation instruction.

In the above description, the liquid material discharge device 100 receives the operation instruction from the server device 300 and performs the processing based on the received operation instruction. However, the liquid material discharge device 100 performs the processing. You may.

For example, after reading the information of the RFID tag 550 in step S120, processing may be performed in step S160 based on the information.

A specific processing example will be explained. It is assumed that the recorded information of the RFID tag 550 includes the "remaining amount" and the "expiration date".

(Example 5) Replacement of container When the "remaining amount" recorded on the RFID tag 550 is "0", the device control unit 141 operates the liquid material discharge device 100 so as to replace the corresponding container 500. ..

(Example 6) Replacement due to expiration date When the "expiration date" recorded on the RFID tag 550 has passed the date and time of operation, the device control unit 141 discharges the liquid material so as to replace the corresponding container 500. The device 100 is operated.

(Example 7) Warning of erroneous insertion into a container storage portion different from a predetermined container storage portion The liquid material discharge device 100 uses a rotary table 110. The container to be stored in the container storage unit 120 of the rotary table 110 is determined by the liquid body group. Therefore, if the container storage unit 120 that stores the container 500 in which the RFID tag 550 is read is different from the container storage unit corresponding to the liquid material group of the "liquid material type" of the RFID tag 550, the predetermined container storage unit It is judged that the container is erroneously inserted into a container storage unit different from the above. Then, the device control unit 141 operates the liquid material discharge device 100 so as to exchange the position of the corresponding container 500, and notifies that the product is not a corresponding product.
