(Configuration of Kitting System 100 and Server 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of the kitting system 100 and the server 1.
The kitting system 100 cooperates with the server 1 and simultaneously performs the same operation input to the plurality of slave terminals 42 (information terminals of the present invention) to simultaneously kit the plurality of slave terminals 42. Kitting refers to the setup work of the slave terminal 42 performed before delivery to the user. Kitting includes installing an application program on the slave terminal 42, setting each item of the slave terminal 42, and acquiring an account of a service provided by each company from each slave terminal 42.

The server 1 (kitting support system of the present invention, computer) cooperates with the kitting system 100 and is connected to each slave terminal 42 having a communication function.

The server 1 simultaneously delivers individual setting information 52 (FIG. 4) to each slave terminal 42 with respect to the same setting item. As a result, each slave terminal 42 simultaneously displays a web page 91 (FIG. 12 (A): kitting support screen of the present invention) including individual setting information 52 for the same setting item. The kitting system 100 copies the setting information 52 displayed on the web page 91 and pastes the kitting operation input to be pasted on the screen 82 (FIG. 12 (B): input screen of the present invention) displayed by the slave terminal 42 for each slave. Perform at the terminal 42 at the same time.

Thereby, in the present embodiment, in the kitting system 100 that simultaneously and simultaneously inputs the same operation to the plurality of slave terminals 42, it is possible to input different setting information 52 for each slave terminal 42 for the same setting item. ..

The kitting system 100 includes a teaching unit 2, an automatic setting unit 3, a master terminal 41, a slave terminal 42, and a PC 5 (Personal Computer). The teaching unit 2 and the automatic setting unit 3 are connected to the server 1 so as to be able to communicate with each other by wire or wirelessly. The server 1, the master terminal 41, and the slave terminal 42 are connected to the Internet.

The master terminal 41 and the slave terminal 42 are smartphones and tablet terminals, and are the same. The terminal mounted on the teaching unit 2 is referred to as a master terminal 41, and the terminal mounted on the automatic setting unit 3 is referred to as a slave terminal 42.

The master terminal 41 includes a touch panel 411 operated by an operator so that a plurality of slave terminals 42 can simultaneously perform the same operation input.

For example, 10 slave terminals 42 are installed in the automatic setting unit 3, and each of them includes a touch panel 421 operated by the automatic setting unit 3. Hereinafter, the master terminal 41 and the slave terminal 42 may be referred to as terminals 41 and 42.

The teaching unit 2 can move three-dimensionally according to the operation of the operator, and records the operation input information using the touch pen 21 on the touch panel 411 of the master terminal 41. The operation input information includes the three-dimensional position information of the touch pen 21 with respect to the touch panel 411.

The teaching unit 2 guides the touch pen 21 to slide and move in the three-axis directions with respect to the master terminal 41, and acquires operation input information (displacement amount for each time from the home position) of the touch pen 21. The three-axis directions are the X, Y, and Z-axis directions that are orthogonal to each other. The X and Y directions are along the horizontal direction, and the Z axis direction is the vertical direction.

The operator can move the touch pen 21 in the triaxial direction by grasping the grip 282 (FIG. 17) provided in the vicinity of the touch pen 21. The operator taps, long-tap, or swipes the touch panel 411 of the master terminal 41 with the touch pen 21 to input an operation to the master terminal 41 and perform kitting of the master terminal 41.

Here, the PC 5 transmits to the server 1 a setting file 50 in which different setting information 52 is recorded for each of the terminals 41 and 42 for a plurality of setting items. The master terminal 41 receives the operation input of the operator and sequentially requests the server 1 for the setting information 52 of each setting item (information acquisition request of the present invention). The server 1 sequentially distributes the setting information 52 of each setting item to the master terminal 41 based on the setting file 50.

The master terminal 41 sequentially displays the setting information 52 on the web page 91. The operator kits the master terminal 41 using the setting information 52 that is sequentially displayed. For example, the operator performs an operation input to the master terminal 41 to copy the setting information 52 (FIG. 12 (A)) and paste it on the screen 82 (FIG. 12 (B)). The teaching unit 2 records the operation input information by the operator using the touch pen 21 and transmits it to the server 1. The server 1 transmits the operation input information to the automatic setting unit 3. The server 1 may make an appropriate correction to the operation input information received from the teaching unit 2, such as a correction for removing a portion where the operator's operation time is free.

The automatic setting unit 3 automatically mounts a plurality of slave terminals 42 and automatically sends a plurality of touch pens 31 for inputting operations to the touch panel 421 of each slave terminal 42 based on the operation input information received from the server 1. Move three-dimensionally. The server 1 may collectively send a series of operation input information to the automatic setting unit 3, or may sequentially transmit the operation input information.

The automatic setting unit 3 includes a touch pen 31 provided for each slave terminal 42. The automatic setting unit 3 can control the movement of the plurality of touch pens 31 in the three-dimensional direction, and moves the plurality of touch pens 31 in the same direction at the same time. The server 1 transmits the operation input information of the touch pen 31 that reproduces the operation input of the touch pen 21 in the teaching unit 2 to each slave terminal 42 to the automatic setting unit 3.

The automatic setting unit 3 automatically and simultaneously performs operation input by the touch pen 31 to each slave terminal 42 based on the received operation input information. As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the automatic setting unit 3 sends an operation input to the master terminal 41 to copy the setting information 52 in the web page 91 and paste it on the screen 82 to each slave terminal 42. It is reproduced by the touch pen 31.

At this time, the server 1 sequentially distributes the setting information 52 of each setting item to each slave terminal 42 as in the case of kitting to the master terminal 41. Further, the server 1 simultaneously delivers the setting information 52 of the same setting item to each slave terminal 42. As a result, the automatic setting unit 3 can set the setting items on each slave terminal 42 while using the setting information 52 on the web page 91, and can complete the kitting of each slave terminal 42 at the same time.

Here, the setting information 52 of the web page 91 can be set in the setting file 50 to be unique to each slave terminal 42 or common to each slave terminal 42. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if a common operation input using the touch pen 31 is performed on each slave terminal 42 by the automatic setting unit 3, each slave terminal 42 can be set separately. Further, in the present embodiment, by setting the setting information 52 to be common to each slave terminal 42, the setting common to each slave terminal 42 is made by the common operation input to each slave terminal 42 by the automatic setting unit 3. It is possible to do.

(Effect of kitting according to this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, since a plurality of slave terminals 42 are kitted at the same time, the lead time until the introduction of the terminals 41 and 42 can be shortened.

In the present embodiment, the kitting work involved by the operator is only for the master terminal 41, and the slave terminal 42 is kitted by the automatic setting unit 3 to minimize the manual work. Therefore, in the present embodiment, mistakes due to manual operation input can be suppressed, and even when kitting is performed on a large number of slave terminals 42, kitting can be performed efficiently and accurately.

In the present embodiment, the server 1 distributes the unique text setting information 521 to the slave terminal 42, so that the same operation input of copying and pasting the text setting information 521 is performed to each slave terminal 42 by the touch pen 31. Also, different text setting information 521 can be input for the same setting item for each slave terminal 42.

In the present embodiment, the server 1 distributes the common text setting information 521 to the slave terminals 42, and the touch pen 31 performs the same operation input of copying and pasting the text setting information 521 to each slave terminal 42. It is possible to input the setting of the text setting information 521 common to each slave terminal 42 for the same setting item.

In the present embodiment, the setting information 52, the explanation 53 of the setting procedure, and the title 54 are displayed at a fixed position in the web page 91. Therefore, the operator can intuitively understand that the setting information 52 should be tapped at the time of kitting, and that the explanation 53 of the setting procedure and the title 54 are referred to. In this embodiment, the Next button 911 is also displayed at a fixed position on the web page 91. Therefore, in the present embodiment, where it is necessary to repeatedly tap the setting information 52 and then tap the button 911 at the time of kitting, the operation input can be facilitated.

The kitting method of Patent Document 1 is applied to an information terminal such as a smartphone having a mode for performing an operation corresponding to key information. In this mode, key information corresponding to each touch gesture, such as key information corresponding to an up flick or a down flick, or key information corresponding to a double tap, is set. In the method of Patent Document 1, a series of key information corresponding to a series of touch gestures when kitting each information terminal is generated, and the series of key information is stored in the PC. The information terminal is set to a mode in which an operation corresponding to the key information is performed in advance before the start of kitting. In this method, each information terminal is kitted by sequentially transmitting a series of key information from a PC to each information terminal and causing the terminal to sequentially perform an operation corresponding to the series of key information. However, the method of Patent Document 1 is applied to an OS information terminal having a mode that performs an operation corresponding to the key information, and cannot be applied to an OS information terminal that does not have the mode.

In the kitting method of the present embodiment, the server 1 sequentially distributes the setting information 52 in the setting file 50 to each slave terminal 42, and each slave terminal 42 displays the setting information 52 to be distributed, and the setting information. The setting items are sequentially completed using 52. Therefore, the kitting method of the present embodiment can be implemented regardless of the model and OS of the terminals 41 and 42, and is versatile.

(Verification method)
As described above, the kitting system 100 of the present embodiment simultaneously and simultaneously performs the same operation input to the plurality of slave terminals 42 (information terminals of the present invention) that receive the same operation input. Includes a master terminal 41 (representative information terminal of the present invention) operated by an operator to perform the operation.

The server 1 controls the distribution of the unique text setting information 521 and the distribution control of the common text setting information 521 to the master terminal 41 individually or together with the plurality of slave terminals 42 through the web page 91. .. Here, when the server 1 for the master terminal 41 and the server 1 for the plurality of slave terminals 42 are the same, it means that the distribution control is performed together, and the server 1 for the master terminal 41 and the server 1 for the plurality of slave terminals 42 are separate. If it is, it means that the distribution is controlled individually. Similarly, the server 1 controls the distribution of the unique text setting information 521 and the distribution control of the common text setting information 521 through the web page 91 to the plurality of slave terminals 42.

The kitting system 100 inputs the unique text setting information 521 to the terminals 41 and 42 through the web page 91. The terminals 41 and 42 will store one or more unique setting information (uniquely input text setting information 521) through the kitting operation input.

Unlike the above-mentioned kitting operation input, the kitting system 100 performs a common kitting setting operation common to the terminals 41 and 42, that is, a common kitting setting operation for copying and pasting common text setting information 521 to the terminals 41 and 42. Do. The master terminal 41 stores one or a plurality of first common setting information (text setting information 521 common to the terminals 41 and 42) through the common kitting setting operation. Further, the plurality of slave terminals 42 store the second common setting information (the input text setting information 521 common to the terminals 41 and 42) corresponding to the first common setting information, respectively.

After the completion of such a kitting process, the server 1 performs a verification process (verification process with regular data) as to whether the kitting to the slave terminal 42 (and the master terminal 41) has been performed normally. Hereinafter, the verification process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The internal setting information acquisition unit 110 of the server 1 acquires the terminal setting information extracted from the terminals 41 and 42, and stores the terminal setting information in the storage unit 103 for each individual identification number 51 of the terminals 41 and 42 (S501). .. The terminal setting information includes the unique setting information and the first and second common setting information.

The master data generation unit 113 of the server 1 verifies (verifies) the unique setting information and the first common setting information extracted from the master terminal 41 with the corresponding values in the setting file 50. At this time, when the master data generation unit 113 determines that the master terminal 41 is not set as specified in the setting file 50, the operator manually sets the master terminal 41 with respect to the error-specific setting information or the first common setting information. Make regular settings for.

When the master data generation unit 113 determines that the master terminal 41 is set according to the regulation of the setting file 50, the master data generation unit 113 of the slave terminal 42 is based on the terminal setting information extracted from the master terminal 41 in which the regular setting is made. Generate verify master data for verify (step S502). The verify master data includes the first common setting information of the master terminal 41 related to the common setting of the terminals 41 and 42.

The first verification unit 111 of the server 1 verifies the unique setting information extracted from each slave terminal 42 and the corresponding value in the setting file 50 (step S503). When the first verification unit 111 determines that the unique setting information of the slave terminal 42 is not set according to the value of the setting file 50, the operator manually sets the slave terminal 42 in a regular manner with respect to the unique setting information.

The second verification unit 112 of the server 1 has a second common setting information extracted from each slave terminal 42 and a corresponding value (first common setting information) in the verify master data generated from the terminal setting information of the master terminal 41. ) And (step S504). When the second verification unit 112 determines that the second common setting information of the slave terminal 42 is not set according to the value of the setting file 50 (first common setting information), the operator manually refers to the second common setting information. Make regular settings for the slave terminal 42.

(Effect of verification method)
In the present embodiment, since the unique setting information stored in each slave terminal 42 is verified with the setting file 50, the unique setting information of each slave terminal 42 can be automatically checked. In the present embodiment, the second common setting information stored in each slave terminal 42 is verified with the second common setting information (value in the verify master data) stored in the master terminal 41, so that each slave terminal 42 The second common setting information can also be checked automatically. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the check of the setting contents of the master terminal 41 that has been kitted can be automated, the setting contents can be checked by kitting at a lower cost than the case where the setting contents are manually checked.

(Modification example)
In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the terminals 41 and 42 asynchronously communicate with the server 1 to update the setting information 52 and the like in the web page 91 instead of the entire web page 91. However, the terminals 41 and 42 may sequentially communicate with the server 1 and update the setting information 52 sequentially by updating the entire web page 91 for each setting item. In this case, it is not necessary to effectively set the script for asynchronously communicating with the server 1 for the terminals 41 and 42.

Hereinafter, the processing at the time of kitting when the server 1 distributes the setting information 52 by causing the terminals 41 and 42 to update the entire web page 91 will be briefly described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a series of web pages 91.
In the case of this example, the web page creation unit 102 creates a web page 91 for displaying setting information for each terminal 41 and 42 and for each setting item based on the setting file 50 (step S1021). The storage unit 103 stores the web page 91 (step S1022).

The web page 91 of this example is different from the web page 91 of the embodiment in that each web page 91 includes setting information 52 of the setting item, description 53 of the setting procedure, title 54, and progress bar 55.

As shown in FIG. 21, the web page creation unit 102 corresponds to the link destination of the next button 911 to the terminals 41 and 42 when creating the web page 91 of a certain setting item for the terminals 41 and 42. It is set in the URL of the web page 91 of the next setting item of the certain setting item.

When the web page 91 is generated, the web page creation unit 102 sets the link destination of the back button 912 to the URL of the web page 91 of the previous setting item. As described above, a series of web pages 91 for each setting item for the terminals 41 and 42 are linked in a string by the next button 911 and the back button 912. As a result, when kitting the master terminal 41, the operator can cause the terminals 41 and 42 to open the web page 91 of the next setting item by pressing the next button 911 each time the setting item is completed. it can.

When the distribution control unit 105 receives the individual identification number 51 from the master terminal 41, the distribution control unit 105 distributes the first web page 91 for displaying the setting information to the master terminal 41 (step S105A). The first web page 91 includes setting information 52 and the like of the first setting item (explanation 53 of the setting procedure, title 54, progress bar 55). After that, the distribution control unit 105 stores the storage unit 105 every time the master terminal 41 presses the Next button 911 to transmit a request (information acquisition request of the present invention) on the web page 91 of the next setting item (step S207A). A web page 91 including setting information 52 and the like of the next setting item is extracted from 103 and transmitted to the master terminal 41 (step S106A).

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the processing of the server 1 and the slave terminal 42 at the time of kitting the slave terminal 42.
Similarly, at the time of kitting the slave terminal 42, when the distribution control unit 105 receives the individual identification number 51 from each slave terminal 42, the distribution control unit 105 distributes the first web page 91 for displaying the setting information to each slave terminal 42. (Step S302A). After that, each time the slave terminal 42 presses the Next button 911 to transmit the request (information acquisition request of the present invention) of the web page 91 of the next setting item, the distribution control unit 105 stores the storage. A web page 91 including each slave terminal 42 and setting information 52 corresponding to the next setting item is extracted from the unit 103 and transmitted to each slave terminal 42 (step S303A).

In the above-described embodiment and modification, the server 1 displays one setting information 52 on one web page 91 for displaying setting information, but a plurality of setting information 52 is displayed on one web page 91. (For example, text setting information 521 and URL 523, or a plurality of text setting information 521) may be displayed. In this case, the automatic setting unit 3 sequentially copies and pastes a plurality of text setting information 521 and the like in one web page 91 to the slave terminal 42, or copies and pastes the text setting information 521, and then URL 523. Is tapped to cause the slave terminal 42 to acquire the destination file indicated by the URL 523.

In the above embodiment, each slave terminal 42 reproduces the touch operation on the touch panels 411 and 421 when the operator is kitting the master terminal 41, so that each slave terminal 42 receives the same operation input as the master terminal 41. .. However, the operation input to the terminals 41 and 42 does not have to be performed by the touch operation to the touch panels 411 and 421. When the terminals 41 and 42 include an OS having a mode for performing an operation corresponding to the key information, the operation input may be performed by sending the key information to the terminals 41 and 42.

In the present specification, the touch gesture for the touch panels 411 and 423 includes tap, double tap, drag, flick, pinch, swipe, and long tap. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the contact points with respect to the touch panels 411 and 423 touch the touch panel with a single touch pen. However, the automatic setting unit 3 may touch two areas of the touch panel at the same time by, for example, two touch units, or may perform pinch-out or pinch-in as a touch gesture.
