(2) Basic Information One or a plurality of pieces of sample storage information are stored as basic information in the sample storage information storage unit 202 in FIG. The specimen storage information includes information for identifying the specimen storage. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of specimen storage information. FIG. 3 shows examples of two pieces of specimen storage information ST1 and ST2. Each of the sample storage information ST1 and ST2 in FIG. 3 includes a "storage ID (identifier)" as information for identifying the sample storage, and includes "operation start date", "operation end date", and "deviation information". ”, “Performance Verification Information” and “Current Settings”.

"Start date of operation" indicates the date when operation of the specimen storage was started. "Date of end of operation" indicates the date when the operation of the specimen storage was completed. "Current setting" indicates the current set temperature and set humidity of the specimen storage.

The "deviation information" includes "presence or absence of deviation", "deviation timing" and "deviation details". “Existence of deviation” indicates whether the temperature and humidity in the sample storage deviated from the allowable range during operation of the sample storage. "Deviation time" indicates the time when deviation occurs. "Deviation content" indicates the specific contents of the deviation when the deviation occurs. In the sample storage information ST1, the "deviation presence/absence" is "no", so the "deviation timing" and "deviation details" are blank. In the specimen storage information ST2, the "presence or absence of deviation" is "yes", a specific period is indicated as "time of deviation", and specific content of deviation is indicated as "content of deviation".

The "performance confirmation information" includes "execution date", "operating conditions", "test results" and "expiration date". "Date of implementation" indicates the date on which the performance confirmation test was performed. "Operating condition" indicates the set temperature and set humidity in the specimen storage at the time of the performance confirmation test. "Test result" indicates whether or not the actual temperature and actual humidity in the specimen storage during the performance confirmation test were within the allowable range. The "test result" is "pass" if the actual temperature and humidity were within the acceptable range, and the "test result" is "fail" if the actual temperature and humidity were outside the acceptable range. The "expiration date" indicates the period during which the performance of the specimen storage container whose "test result" is "compliant" is guaranteed.

The standard operating procedure storage unit 203 in FIG. 2 stores one or more standard operating procedures as basic information. A standard operating procedure indicates a standard operating procedure for a work item indicating a warehousing operation or a warehousing operation. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a standard operating procedure. FIG. 4 shows a standard operating procedure SOP1 for warehousing work and a standard operating procedure SOP2 for warehousing work.

The worker information storage unit 206 in FIG. 2 stores one or more pieces of worker information as basic information. The worker information is information indicating the competence of one or more workers. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of worker information. FIG. 5 shows an example of two worker information U1 and U2. Each worker information U1, U2 includes, for example, "worker ID", "worker name" and "competence" of the worker for identifying the worker. Competence is the degree of proficiency of the worker in the warehousing work and warehousing work.

(3) Registration and update of basic information For example, the plan creator can input sample storage information and standard operating procedures to be registered in the sample management support apparatus 10 into the first terminal device 20 of FIG. 1 as basic information. can. In this case, the basic information registration unit 101 of the control device 100 shown in FIG. Each of them is stored in the work procedure storage unit 203 . Thereby, the plan creator can register the sample storage information and the standard operating procedure in the sample management support apparatus 10 . In addition, the plan creator can update the sample storage information and standard operating procedures already stored in the sample storage information storage unit 202 and standard operating procedure storage unit 203 .

Here, the basic information registration unit 101 instructs the first terminal device 20 to encode the “storage ID” included in the sample storage information when the sample storage information is registered. In this case, the control unit 21 of the first terminal device 20 encodes the "repository ID" according to the command from the basic information registration unit 101, and the printing device 24 prints the encoded code on a sheet-like medium such as paper. do. At this time, the basic information registration unit 101 preferably instructs the printing operation so that the printing device 24 prints only one code on one sheet-like medium corresponding to one specimen storage. The plan creator attaches a sheet medium printed with a "storage ID" code (hereinafter referred to as "storage code") to the specimen storage identified by the "storage ID".

Further, for example, the approver can input worker information to be registered in the sample management support apparatus 10 as basic information into the first terminal device 20 in FIG. In this case, the basic information registration unit 101 of the control device 100 in FIG. 2 causes the worker information storage unit 206 to store the worker information input to the first terminal device 20 by the approver. Thereby, the approver can register the worker information in the specimen management support apparatus 10 . Also, the approver can update the worker information already stored in the worker information storage unit 206 .

(4) Generation and Modification of Work Plan A planner generates a work plan for a sample when planning an environmental test for the sample. In this case, the planner operates the first terminal device 20 shown in FIG. 1 to input specimen information corresponding to the desired specimen to be subjected to the environmental test. The specimen information includes information for identifying specimens to be stored in the specimen repository. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of specimen information. FIG. 6 shows examples of two pieces of specimen information SP1 and SP2. Each of the specimen information SP1 and SP2 in FIG. 6 includes a "specimen ID" as information for identifying the specimen, and further includes a "specimen name", "lot number" and "quantity".

Also, the plan creator designates one of sample storage information from one or more pieces of sample storage information stored in the sample storage information storage unit 202 by operating the first terminal device 20 . Also, the plan creator designates one of the work items corresponding to one or more standard work procedures stored in the standard work procedure storage unit 203 by operating the first terminal device 20 . Furthermore, the plan creator designates the work execution date by operating the first terminal device 20 .

In this case, the information designation reception unit 102 of the control device 100 in FIG. 2 receives input of specimen information by the planner, and designation of specimen storage information, work items, and scheduled work dates by the planner. The work plan generation unit 103 generates a work plan including the input specimen information, designated specimen storage information, designated work items, and designated work schedule dates. Further, the work plan generation unit 103 causes the work plan storage unit 204 to store the generated work plan. Thus, the work plan is registered in the sample management support apparatus 10. FIG.

At this time, the information designation reception unit 102 causes the sample information storage unit 201 to store the sample information input to the first terminal device 20 by the plan creator. Thereby, the sample information is registered in the sample management support apparatus 10 together with the work plan.

Here, when the work plan is registered, the information designation reception unit 102 instructs the first terminal device 20 to encode the "sample ID" included in the sample information registered together with the work plan. In this case, the control unit 21 of the first terminal device 20 encodes the “specimen ID” into a code such as a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode according to the instruction from the information designation reception unit 102, and the printer 24 encodes The obtained code is printed on a sheet-like medium such as paper. At this time, when there are a plurality of specimens to be stored or to be delivered in the work plan, the information designation reception unit 102 causes the printer 24 to print codes on sheet-like media corresponding to the number of specimens. , preferably commands the printing operation. The plan creator attaches a plurality of sheets of sheet-like media on which a "specimen ID" code (hereinafter referred to as a specimen code) is printed to a plurality of specimens identified by the "specimen ID".

When generating a work plan, the planner must enter specimen information, specify specimen storage information, work items, and scheduled work dates, as well as specify the set temperature and A set humidity can be specified as a storage condition. In this case, the preservation condition reception unit 104 of the control device 100 receives the designation of the preservation condition by the plan creator. The storage conditions in this example are both the set temperature and the set humidity in the environmental test, but the storage condition may be only the set temperature in the environmental test.

When the storage conditions are specified, the driving performance determination unit 105 acquires the storage conditions and the sample storage information specified by the plan creator from the sample storage information storage unit 202 . That is, the driving performance determination unit 105 acquires sample storage information corresponding to the sample storage in which the sample should be stored under the specified storage conditions.

In this case, the driving performance determination unit 105 determines whether or not the “performance confirmation information” included in the acquired sample storage information matches the specified storage conditions. Specifically, the operating performance determination unit 105 determines whether or not the operating conditions at the time of the performance confirmation test performed in the past for the specified specimen storage match the specified storage conditions, and outputs the determination result. It is given to the work plan generation unit 103 .

The work plan generation unit 103 generates the work plan as described above when receiving the determination result that the operating conditions match the storage conditions. On the other hand, the work plan generation unit 103 performs a predetermined process when receiving a determination result that the operating conditions do not match the storage conditions. For example, the work plan generation unit 103 instructs the first terminal device 20 not to generate a work plan or to present a message prompting the plan creator to re-specify the specimen storage container information by image or voice.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a work plan. FIG. 7 shows examples of two work plans OPL1 and OPL2. Each of the work plans OPL1 and OPL2 in FIG. 7 is given a "plan ID" for distinguishing the work plan from other work plans. In addition, in each of the work plans OPL1 and OPL2, a "specimen ID" that is a part of the specified specimen information and a "storage ID" that is a part of the specified specimen storage information, as well as a specified "storage condition ” is included. Further, each of the work plans OPL1 and OPL2 includes "work in warehousing" and "work in warehousing" as a plurality of work items together with the scheduled work dates.

Furthermore, the work plans OPL1 and OPL2 include "incoming amount" and "outgoing amount" as information associated with "incoming work" and "outgoing work". In this way, the planner can also specify the quantity of specimens to be worked on for each work when the work plans OPL1 and OPL2 are generated.

The work plan change unit 108 newly includes deviation information indicating “presence” of “existence of deviation” from one or a plurality of pieces of sample storage information stored in the sample storage information storage unit 202 at a predetermined cycle. It is determined whether or not there is sample storage information that has changed. In addition, when there is sample storage information that newly includes “present” in “presence or absence of deviation”, the work plan change unit 108 determines whether the data stored in the sample storage corresponding to the sample storage information Extract the specimen information of the specimen. Further, the work plan changing unit 108 changes the work plan including the extracted specimen information according to a predetermined method based on the "deviation timing" and "deviation details". The work plan change unit 108 also updates the original work plan stored in the work plan storage unit 204 with the changed work plan.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of changing the work plan. The upper part of FIG. 8 shows the work plan OPL1a before change, and the lower part shows the work plan OPL1b after change. The central portion of FIG. 8 shows the deviation information included in the sample storage information corresponding to the sample storage AAA.

In the work plan OPL1a before the change, "2018/3/20 warehousing work" and "2018/6/20 warehousing work" are scheduled. In this case, the specimen 001 is preserved for three months.

Deviations may occur in specimen repository AAA after work plan OPL1a is generated. The deviation information in FIG. 8 indicates that the internal temperature of the sample storage AAA exceeded the allowable range by 3° C. for four days from May 21, 2018 to May 24, 2018.

In this case, the work plan changing unit 108 in FIG. 2 adds, for example, the period during which the deviation occurred to the retention period of the specimen 001 . As a result, in the work plan OPL1b after the change, as indicated by the thick dotted line in the lower part of FIG. 8, the scheduled work date for the shipping work for the specimen 001 is changed to "June 24, 2018 shipping work".

(5) Generation of Actual Work Procedures In order for workers to actually perform environmental tests, specific work procedures corresponding to work items in the work plan are generated as actual work procedures. The actual work procedure is displayed together with the work plan on the display unit 33 of the second terminal device 30 in FIG. The worker performs the work according to the actual work procedure displayed on the display section 33 .

A method of generating an actual work procedure will be described below. The plan creator designates one or a plurality of work plans stored in the work plan storage unit 204 of FIG. 2 by operating the first terminal device 20 of FIG. Specifically, the plan creator designates a desired work plan by inputting a plan ID corresponding to the desired work plan to the first terminal device 20, for example.

The work plan is designated by the plan designation reception unit 106 of the specimen management support apparatus 10 in response to information input by the plan creator to the first terminal device 20, and the work plan corresponding to the information is presented to the worker. It may be done by

For example, in response to the input of the scheduled work date to the first terminal device 20 by the plan creator, the plan designation reception unit 106 extracts the work plan including the scheduled work date from the work plan storage unit 204, and extracts the extracted work plan. Alternatively, the first terminal device 20 may be instructed to present a list of work plans prepared to the plan creator. Alternatively, in response to the input of the sample ID to the first terminal device 20, the plan designation reception unit 106 extracts the work plan including the sample ID from the work plan storage unit 204, and stores the extracted work plan list. The first terminal device 20 may be instructed to present to the plan creator. Alternatively, in response to input of a work item to the first terminal device 20, the plan designation reception unit 106 extracts a work plan including the work item from the work plan storage unit 204, and stores a list of the extracted work plans. The first terminal device 20 may be instructed to present to the plan creator.

In these cases, the plan creator may designate a work plan by selecting a desired work plan from the list of work plans presented by the first terminal device 20 . In addition, the designation of the work plan by the plan creator may be omitted. In that case, the plan designation reception unit 106 extracts the work plan corresponding to the information input to the first terminal device 20 and extracts the extracted work plan. A work plan may be specified.

As described above, when the work plan is specified by the plan creator, the plan specification receiving unit 106 of the control device 100 receives the specification of the work plan. In addition, the standard operating procedure extraction unit 109 extracts from the standard operating procedure storage unit 203 standard operating procedures corresponding to work items included in the designated work plan. The actual work procedure generation unit 110 integrates sample information, sample storage information, and scheduled work dates included in the specified work plan into the extracted standard work procedure. As a result, a work procedure including specimen information, specimen storage information, and scheduled work dates is generated as an actual work procedure. In the actual work procedure, the sample, the sample storage, and the scheduled work date are specified. Furthermore, the actual work procedure generation unit 110 stores the generated actual work procedure in the actual work procedure storage unit 205 . In this manner, the actual work procedure is registered in the specimen management support apparatus 10. FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an actual work procedure; FIG. 9 shows the standard operating procedure SOP1 of FIG. 4, the work plan OPL1 of FIG. 7, and the actual work procedure AOP1 of the warehousing work generated from the information thereof.

The actual work procedure AOP1 in FIG. 9 includes a work instruction to "confirm the work plan with the worker and the approver." As a result, the worker and the approver confirm the contents of the work plan displayed on the display unit 33 of the second terminal device 30 and, for example, sign an electronic signature as evidence of the confirmation.

Further, the actual work procedure AOP1 includes a work instruction "Confirm the worker." "Confirming the worker" means, for example, the work of the worker reading his/her own worker code with the reading unit 34 of the second terminal device 30 in FIG. A worker code is a code indicating a worker ID given to each worker. The worker ID will be described later.

Further, the actual work procedure AOP1 includes a work instruction "Confirm the sample 001." This allows the operator to easily recognize the specimen to be confirmed. "Confirming the specimen 001" means, for example, the work of reading the specimen code attached to the specimen 001 by the operator.

In the actual work procedure AOP1, "confirm the quantity (50) of specimens 001 to be stocked" means, for example, the work of confirming the number of 50 specimens 001 to be stocked by the operator.

Further, the actual work procedure AOP1 includes a work instruction to "confirm the specimen storage AAA." This allows the operator to easily recognize the specimen storage to be confirmed. "Confirm the specimen storage AAA" means, for example, the work of the worker reading the storage code attached to the specimen storage AAA.

Further, in the actual work procedure AOP1, "Put specimen 001 into specimen storage AAA." It means the work of inputting to the part 32. It should be noted that the above input work may be omitted.

After performing a series of work according to the actual work procedure AOP1 as described above, the worker reports the completion of the series of work to the approver and inputs the approval to the approver into the second terminal device 30. ask you to

Here, information read and input by the second terminal device 30 during work according to the actual work procedure AOP1 is transmitted to the specimen management support apparatus 10 as a work report. In the present embodiment, a plurality of work reports corresponding to a series of work are transmitted to the specimen management support apparatus 10 each time one work is performed. It may be transmitted to the sample management support apparatus 10 .

The validity determination unit 107 in FIG. 2 acquires sample storage information included in the designated work plan when the plan designation reception unit 106 receives the designation of the work plan. In addition, the validity determination unit 107 determines whether or not the "performance confirmation information" included in the acquired specimen storage information matches the specified storage conditions, similarly to the operation of the driving performance determination unit 105. . Furthermore, based on the "performance confirmation information" included in the acquired sample storage information, the validity determination unit 107 determines that the current time is within the guaranteed performance of the sample storage corresponding to the sample storage information. It is determined whether or not.

If the result of determination by the validity determination unit 107 is that the performance confirmation information of the specimen storage information does not conform to the storage conditions included in the work plan, or if the current time is not within the expiration date, the actual work procedure generation unit 110 the specified processing. For example, the actual work procedure generation unit 110 instructs the first terminal device 20 not to generate the actual work procedure or to present a message prompting the performance confirmation test of the specimen storage to the plan creator by image or voice. do.

(6) Performance Management Generation of work performance of workers will be explained. The plan creator designates a target actual work procedure by operating the first terminal device 20 in order to have the worker perform work according to the actual work procedure. Accordingly, the actual work receiving unit 114 of the control device 100 extracts the specified actual work procedure from the actual work procedure storage unit 205 and displays the extracted actual work procedure on the display unit 33. No. 2 terminal device 30 is instructed.

After that, the worker proceeds with the work according to the actual work procedure and operates the operation unit 32 of the second terminal device 30 . As a result, a work report is transmitted from the second terminal device 30 to the sample management support device 10 . In this case, the actual work reception unit 114 of the control device 100 receives the work report. Here, the work report first received by the actual work reception unit 114 after the work by the worker is started is electronic signature information including the worker ID and the approver ID described later.

Next, based on the received work report and the specified actual work procedure, the actual work reception unit 114 determines whether the work actually performed by the worker matches the actual work procedure. In addition, the actual work receiving unit 114 determines whether or not the received work report and the actual work match the actual work procedure (hereinafter referred to as a work determination result) and the actual work reception time (actual work reception date and time). ) are stored in the work result storage unit 207 as work results for each worker. As a result, the work record of the worker is registered or updated in the work record storage unit 207 every time the worker performs the work.

As described above, when a plurality of work reports corresponding to a series of work are collectively transmitted to the specimen management support apparatus 10 when all the work is completed, the plurality of work reports corresponding to the series of work are , is temporarily stored in the control unit 31 of FIG. 1 until a series of operations by the operator is completed. In addition, to the plurality of work reports temporarily stored in the control unit 31, the time when the work report was generated is given as the actual work reception time. In this case, when receiving a plurality of work reports corresponding to a series of work, the actual work receiving unit 114 determines whether each of the received work reports matches the actual work procedure.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of work results, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another example of work results. FIG. 10 shows an example of the work record OA1 of one worker, and FIG. 11 shows an example of the work record OA2 of another worker. 10 and 11, as work results corresponding to the actual work procedure AOP1 of FIG. "Work determination result" and "Actual work acceptance time" are included. In FIGS. 10 and 11, "authorizer ID" is information assigned to each authorizer and is used to distinguish the authorizer from other authorizers.

10 and 11, the "work determination result" is "OK" when the actual work matches the actual work procedure, and the "work determination result" is "OK" when the actual work does not match the actual work procedure. is "NG".

According to the work record OA1 of the worker having the "worker ID" of "W01" (hereinafter referred to as worker W01) shown in FIG. It can be seen that the work was performed accurately according to the work instructions.

On the other hand, according to the work record OA2 of the worker having the "worker ID" of "W02" shown in FIG. It turns out that the wrong work was done for some work orders. Specifically, the operator W02 mistakenly sends the sample code of the sample 003 to the second terminal shown in FIG. After reading by the reading unit 34 of the device 30, it can be seen that the sample code of the sample 001 has been read. Thus, according to the work results stored in the work result storage unit 207, it is possible to easily grasp the accuracy of the work actually performed by each worker.

Furthermore, in the work records OA1 and OA2 in FIGS. 10 and 11, whether or not the approver approves the completion of the work corresponding to the actual work procedure AOP1 in FIG. 9 is added. Specifically, when the approver who receives the work completion report from the worker W01 inputs approval of the report into the operation unit 32 of the second terminal device 30 in FIG. "Approved" is given to the work record as follows. On the other hand, when the approver who received the work completion report from the worker W02 does not input approval of the report into the operation unit 32 of the second terminal device 30 in FIG. "Not Approved" is given to the work results. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, by confirming the work report for the actual work procedure in a list, the approver who received the report can easily judge that the work was performed correctly.

Here, the competence determination unit 115 in FIG. 2 determines the worker information including the worker ID based on the worker ID first received by the actual work reception unit 114 after the work based on the actual work procedure is started. is extracted from the worker information storage unit 206 .

In the above-described actual work procedure, the competence required of the worker may be determined in advance as the required competence from the viewpoint of the price of the target specimen or the handleability of the target specimen storage. In this case, the competence determination unit 115 determines whether the competence indicated by the extracted worker information satisfies the required competence corresponding to the actual work procedure. The competence determination unit 115 performs a predetermined process when determining that the competence of the worker does not satisfy the required competence. For example, the competence determination unit 115 presents a message to the plan creator and the worker by image or voice to stop the work or prompt the worker to change the first terminal device 20 and the second terminal device 30. command to As a result, it is possible to appropriately select workers according to their abilities.

(7) Confirmation of Past Storage State of Specimens The plan creator operates the first terminal device 20 shown in FIG. specified specimen information can be specified. In this case, the specimen selection reception unit 111 receives selection of specimen information. The work extraction unit 112 extracts work results including the selected sample information from the work result storage unit 207 . The deviation information output unit 113 acquires specimen storage information included in the extracted work record. In addition, when the obtained sample storage information includes “presence” of “existence of deviation”, the deviation information output unit 113 outputs the deviation information together with the selected sample information to the first terminal device 20 . Based on the deviation information and the sample information given from the sample management support device 10, the plan creator can determine whether deviation has occurred in the sample storage in which the sample was stored during the past environmental test of the selected sample. It is possible to easily grasp whether or not

At this time, the deviation information output unit 113 may output to the first terminal device 20 only the deviation information during the storage period of the sample among the deviation information of the sample storage in which the selected sample was stored. good. Alternatively, the deviation information output unit 113 may output to the first terminal device 20 the deviation information of all the sample storage cabinets in which the selected sample was stored.

Note that when sample information is selected, the deviation information output unit 113 outputs the selected sample, one or more sample storage containers in which the sample has been stored in the past, deviation information and performance confirmation of each sample storage container. and sample history information may be generated. Further, the deviation information output unit 113 may transmit the generated sample history information to the first terminal device 20 in FIG. 1 or an external device equivalent to the first terminal device 20 . In this case, the plan creator displays the sample history information on the display unit 23 of the first terminal device 20 or the display unit provided in the external device, thereby displaying the selected sample and one or more stored samples. A list of sample storage deviation information and performance confirmation information can be viewed. As a result, the approver can easily grasp the sample storage that has been stored in the past and the presence or absence of any deviation in the sample storage for the selected sample.

[3] Specimen Management Support Program As described above, the CPU configuring the control device 100 executes the specimen management support program stored in the storage device 200 . As a result, the following basic information registration process, work plan generation process, work plan change process, actual work procedure generation process, work result generation process, and sample information output process are performed.

(1) Basic Information Registration Processing FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of basic information registration processing. The basic information registration process is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle. Note that the basic information registration process may be started, for example, when the plan creator instructs the sample management support apparatus 10 in FIG. 1 to start the basic information registration process from the first terminal device 20 in FIG.

When the basic information registration process is started, the basic information registration unit 101 in FIG. 2 determines whether or not sample storage information has been input as basic information (step S10). If the sample storage information is not input, the basic information registration unit 101 proceeds to step S13, which will be described later. On the other hand, when sample storage information is input, the basic information registration unit 101 stores the sample storage information in the sample storage information storage unit 202 (step S11). Further, the basic information registration unit 101 instructs the first terminal device 20 of the plan creator to encode the storage ID included in the sample storage information only once (step S12).

Next, the basic information registration unit 101 determines whether or not a standard operating procedure has been input as basic information (step S13). If the standard operating procedure is not input, the basic information registration unit 101 proceeds to step S15, which will be described later. On the other hand, when the standard operating procedure is input, the basic information registering unit 101 stores the standard operating procedure in the standard operating procedure storage unit 203 (step S14).

Next, the basic information registration unit 101 determines whether worker information has been input as basic information (step S15). If the operator information is not input, the basic information registration unit 101 proceeds to step S17, which will be described later. On the other hand, when worker information is input, the basic information registration unit 101 stores the worker information in the worker information storage unit 206 (step S16).

Next, the basic information registration unit 101 determines whether or not information for updating the basic information has been input (step S17). If the information for updating the basic information is not input, the basic information registration unit 101 ends the basic information registration process. On the other hand, when information for updating the basic information is input, the basic information registration unit 101 registers the sample storage cabinet information storage unit 202, the standard operating procedure storage unit 203, and the operator information storage unit 206 based on the information. The information stored in one of them is updated (step S18), and the basic information registration process ends.

(2) Work Plan Generation Processing FIGS. 13 and 14 are flowcharts showing an example of work plan generation processing. The work plan generation process is started, for example, when a planner instructs the sample management support apparatus 10 in FIG. 1 to start the work plan generation process from the first terminal device 20 in FIG.

When the work plan generation process is started, the information designation reception unit 102 in FIG. 2 determines whether sample information has been input (step S20). If the sample information is not input, the information designation receiving unit 102 repeats the process of step S20 until the sample information is input. On the other hand, when sample information is input, the information designation receiving unit 102 holds the input sample information (step S21).

Next, the storage condition receiving unit 104 determines whether or not a storage condition has been specified (step S22). If the storage condition is not specified, the storage condition receiving unit 104 repeats the process of step S22 until the storage condition is specified. On the other hand, when the storage condition is specified, the information specification receiving unit 102 holds the specified storage condition (step S23).

Next, the information designation reception unit 102 determines whether or not specimen storage information has been designated (step S24). If the sample storage information is not specified, the information specification receiving unit 102 repeats the process of step S24 until the sample storage information is specified. On the other hand, when sample storage information is specified, the information designation receiving unit 102 holds the specified sample storage information (step S25).

Next, the driving performance determination unit 105 determines whether or not the performance confirmation information included in the specified specimen storage information matches the storage conditions specified in step S22 (step S26).

If the performance confirmation information does not meet the specified storage conditions, the driving performance determination unit 105 instructs the first terminal device 20 to present a message prompting the re-specification of the sample storage information to the plan creator by image or voice. (step S27). After that, the information designation reception unit 102 returns to the process of step S24.

On the other hand, if the performance check information meets the specified storage conditions in the process of step S26, the information specification reception unit 102 determines whether or not a work item has been specified (step S28). If the work item is not designated, the information designation receiving unit 102 repeats the process of step S28 until the work item is designated. On the other hand, when the work item is designated, the information designation receiving unit 102 holds the designated work item (step S29).

Next, the information designation reception unit 102 determines whether or not a scheduled work date has been designated (step S30). If the scheduled work date is not specified, the information designation receiving unit 102 repeats the process of step S30 until the scheduled work date is specified. On the other hand, when the scheduled work date is designated, the information designation receiving unit 102 holds the designated scheduled work date (step S31).

Next, the information designation reception unit 102 determines whether or not all designations required for generating the work plan have been completed (step S32). This determination is made by, for example, completing all designations necessary for generating a work plan from the first terminal device 20 by the plan creator operating the operation unit 22 of the first terminal device 20 in FIG. This is done based on whether the signal was accepted or not.

If all of the designations have not been completed, the information designation receiving unit 102 returns to the process of step S28. On the other hand, when all designations are completed, the information designation reception unit 102 gives all the held information to the work plan generation unit 103 . As a result, the work plan generation unit 103 generates a work plan including the specified sample information, the specified sample storage information, the specified storage conditions, the specified work items, and the specified scheduled work dates. (Step S33). Further, the work plan generation unit 103 stores the generated work plan in the work plan storage unit 204 (step S34).

At this time, the information designation receiving unit 102 stores the sample information held in step S21 in the sample information storage unit 201 (step S35). In addition, the information designation receiving unit 102 instructs the first terminal device 20 of the plan creator to encode the sample ID included in the sample information (step S36). In this case, the control unit 21 of the first terminal device 20 encodes the “specimen ID” into a code such as a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode according to the instruction from the information designation reception unit 102, and the printer 24 encodes The obtained code is printed on a sheet-like medium such as paper. At this time, when there are a plurality of specimens to be stored or to be delivered in the work plan, the information designation reception unit 102 causes the printer 24 to print codes on sheet-like media corresponding to the number of specimens. , preferably commands the printing operation. The plan creator attaches a plurality of sheet-like media on which a "specimen ID" code (specimen code) is printed to a plurality of specimens identified by the "specimen ID". This completes the work plan generation process.

In the process of step S26 described above, if the performance confirmation information does not meet the specified storage conditions, the driving performance determination unit 105 may end the work plan generation process instead of the process of step S27. In addition, in the present embodiment, the processes of steps S26 and S27 may not be performed.

(3) Work Plan Change Processing FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of work plan change processing. The work plan generation process is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle. When the work plan change process is started, the work plan change unit 108 changes deviation information indicating "presence" of "deviation" for one or more pieces of sample storage information stored in the sample storage information storage unit 202. It is determined whether or not there is specimen storage information that has been newly included (step S40).

The work plan change unit 108 ends the work plan change process when there is no specimen storage information that newly includes "presence" in "existence of deviation". On the other hand, if there is sample storage information that newly includes "presence" in "presence or absence of deviation", the work plan change unit 108 Information is extracted (step S41).

Next, the work plan change unit 108 changes the work plan including the sample information extracted according to a predetermined method (step S42), and ends the work plan change process.

(4) Actual Work Procedure Generation Processing FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the actual work procedure generation processing. The actual work procedure generation process is started, for example, when the plan creator issues an instruction to start the actual work procedure generation process from the first terminal device 20 in FIG. 1 to the sample management support apparatus 10 in FIG.

When the actual work procedure generation process is started, the plan designation receiving unit 106 in FIG. 2 determines whether or not a work plan has been designated (step S50). When the work plan is not specified, the plan specification receiving unit 106 repeats the process of step S50. On the other hand, when a work plan is designated, the validity determination unit 107 acquires sample storage information and storage conditions included in the designated work plan (step S51).

Next, the validity determination unit 107 determines whether or not the performance confirmation information included in the acquired sample storage information matches the acquired storage conditions (step S52). If the performance confirmation information does not conform to the storage conditions, the validity determination unit 107 performs a predetermined process as a non-conformity process (step S57), and then terminates the actual work procedure generation process. On the other hand, if the performance confirmation information matches the storage conditions, the validity determination unit 107 determines whether or not the performance of the specimen storage is guaranteed at the current time (step S53).

If the current time is not within the validity period, the validity determination unit 107 performs a predetermined process as a non-conforming process (step S57), and then terminates the actual work procedure generation process. On the other hand, if the current time is within the validity period, the standard operating procedure extraction unit 109 extracts the standard operating procedure corresponding to the work items included in the specified work plan from the standard operating procedure storage unit 203 (step S54). Further, the actual work procedure generation unit 110 generates the actual work procedure by integrating the sample information, the sample storage information, and the scheduled work date included in the specified work plan with the extracted standard work procedure (step S55). ). Further, the actual work procedure generation unit 110 stores the generated actual work procedure in the actual work procedure storage unit 205 (step S56), and ends the actual work procedure generation process.

The incompatibility process in step S57 is a process predetermined according to the target sample, the target sample storage, and the contents of the actual work procedure. The non-conformity process in step S57 is, for example, instructing the first terminal device 20 in FIG. It may be a commanded process.

(5) Work Result Generation Processing FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of work result generation processing. The work record generation process is started, for example, when the planner designates the actual work procedure from the first terminal device 20 in FIG. 1 to the sample management support apparatus 10 .

When the work record generation process is started, the actual work reception unit 114 extracts the designated actual work procedure from the actual work procedure storage unit 205, and stores the extracted actual work procedure in the second terminal device 30 of FIG. (step S60).

Next, the actual work receiving unit 114 determines whether or not the worker ID has been received as a work report from the second terminal device 30 (step S61). The actual work reception unit 114 repeats the process of step S61 until the worker ID is received. On the other hand, when the actual work receiving unit 114 receives the worker ID, the competence determining unit 115 extracts worker information corresponding to the worker ID from the worker information storage unit 206 (step S62).

Next, based on the extracted worker information and the designated actual work procedure, the competence determination unit 115 determines whether the worker's competence satisfies the required competence of the designated actual work procedure (step S63). If the worker's competence does not satisfy the required competence, the competence determining unit 115 performs nonconformity processing as predetermined processing (step S69), and then terminates the work result generation processing. On the other hand, when the worker's competence satisfies the required competence, the actual work reception unit 114 determines whether or not a new work report has been received (step S64).

The actual work reception unit 114 repeats the process of step S64 until the work report is received. On the other hand, when receiving the work report, the actual work receiving unit 114 determines whether the work actually performed by the worker matches the actual work procedure based on the received work report and the specified actual work procedure. is determined (step S65).

Next, when the work performed by the worker matches the actual work procedure, the actual work receiving unit 114 stores the received work report as a work result in the work result storage unit 207 (step S66). At this time, the actual work reception unit 114 gives the actual work reception time of step S65 to the work record.

After that, the actual work receiving unit 114 determines whether or not all the work according to the actual work procedure has been completed (step S67). This determination is made based on whether or not a plurality of work reports respectively corresponding to a plurality of work instructions of the designated actual work procedure have been received.

If all the work has not been completed, the actual work receiving unit 114 returns to the process of step S64, and if all the work has been completed, the work result generation process is terminated.

In the above step S65, when the worker's work does not match the actual work procedure, the actual work receiving unit 114 determines whether or not the influence of the erroneous work on the environmental test is minor (step S70). The judgment criteria are determined in advance by the approver according to the target sample, the target sample storage, and the contents of the actual work procedure. For example, with regard to the actual work procedure AOP1 for the warehousing work shown in FIG. No adverse effects are expected. In such a case, it is determined that the influence of the erroneous work is minor. On the other hand, with respect to the actual work procedure AOP1 of the warehousing work shown in FIG. 9, if the work “Confirm specimen 001” is performed and the work “Place specimen 001 in specimen storage AAA” is performed, the specimen is actually stored. Specimens that have been stored in warehouse AAA cannot be grasped. In such a case, it is determined that the effect of the erroneous work is not minor.

In the process of step S70, if it is determined that the effect of the work on the environmental test is not minor, the actual work reception unit 114 proceeds to the nonconformity process of step S69. On the other hand, if it is determined in the processing of step S70 that the effect of the erroneous work on the environmental test is minor, the actual work reception unit 114 stores the received work report as the work performance, as in the processing of step S66. It is stored in the unit 207 (step S71). At this time, the actual work reception unit 114 gives the actual work reception time in either step S65 or S71 to the work record.

Next, the actual work receiving unit 114 instructs the second terminal device 30 to present a message to the worker by image or voice prompting the worker to re-execute the work according to the work instruction (step S72). After that, the actual work receiving unit 114 returns to the process of step S64.

The incompatibility process in step S69 is a process predetermined according to the target sample, the target sample storage, and the contents of the actual work procedure. The non-conformity processing in step S69 includes at least notifying the worker of deviation from the actual work procedure, and processing the deviation of the notified worker from the actual work procedure by a predetermined method. and As other non-conformance processing in step S69, for example, a message to stop the work or to prompt a change of worker is presented to the approver and the worker by image or voice. may be a process of instructing the terminal device 30 of .

(6) Specimen Information Output Processing FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of specimen information output processing. The sample information output process is started, for example, when the plan creator instructs the sample management support apparatus 10 to start the sample information output process from the first terminal device 20 in FIG.

When the sample information output process is started, the sample selection reception unit 111 determines whether or not sample information has been selected (step S80). The specimen selection reception unit 111 repeats the process of step S80 when specimen information is not selected. On the other hand, when sample information is selected, the sample selection reception unit 111 extracts work results including the selected sample information from the work result storage unit 207 (step S81).

Next, the deviation information output unit 113 acquires specimen storage information included in the extracted work record (step S82). Further, the deviation information output unit 113 acquires deviation information included in the acquired specimen storage information (step S83). After that, the deviation information output unit 113 outputs the selected sample information and the acquired deviation information (step S84), and terminates the sample information output process.

[4] Effect of Embodiment In the sample management support system 1 according to the present embodiment, a work plan is generated by specifying sample information, sample storage information, work items, and scheduled work dates by the plan creator. and the generated work plan is stored in the work plan storage unit 204 . By specifying the work plan stored in the work plan storage unit 204, the standard work procedure corresponding to the work items included in the work plan is extracted.
