Keyboards, display devices, and speakers used in computers are inspected using dedicated inspection functions and inspection devices, as shown in the above patent documents. Therefore, the possibility of initial defects in keyboards, display devices, and speakers used in computers already on the market is low.

On the other hand, it cannot necessarily be said that there are defects that are overlooked in inspections at the time of shipment from the factory. In addition, there are cases where the keyboard, display device, or speaker used in the computer does not work properly when it is delivered to the purchaser for some reason, such as during transportation to the store, even though it was normal at the time of shipment.

In particular, with regard to missing dots in display devices, there are cases where manufacturers do not treat missing dots below a certain number as an initial defect due to product characteristics. However, even if the number of missing dots is less than the number of dots that the manufacturer does not consider as an initial defect, the purchaser of the computer may not like the missing dots and may request replacement from the store. In response to such a request for replacement, the store may provide replacement as part of customer service.

However, because dealers do not have the dedicated inspection functions and inspection equipment that manufacturers use at the time of shipment from the factory, it is common for keyboards, display devices, and speakers to not be inspected. . Therefore, in the event of a situation like the one above, the dealer will be aware of the situation based on complaints from the purchaser, and will respond accordingly. .

Therefore, there is a demand for a support system that allows even dealers to perform simple inspections.

An example of the overall configuration of the examination support system 1 of the present invention is schematically shown in the block diagram of FIG. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of an example of the hardware configuration of the computer 2 used in the examination support system 1 of the present invention.

The examination support system 1 of the present invention is implemented by reading a program that implements the functions of each processing unit of the present invention into the computer 2 . The computer 2 at this time is the computer 2 to be inspected. The computer 2 includes an arithmetic device 70 such as a CPU for executing arithmetic processing of programs, a storage device 71 such as a RAM or hard disk for storing information, a display device 72 such as a display, and an input device such as a keyboard for inputting information. It has a device 73, a communication device 74 for communicating processing results of the arithmetic device 70 and information stored in the storage device 71, and a sound output device 75 such as a speaker. If the computer 2 has a touch panel display, the display device 72 and the input device 73 may be integrated. The computer 2 is, for example, a desktop computer, a laptop computer (notebook computer), or a tablet computer.

The touch panel display is a device in which the functions of the display device 72 and the input device 73 are integrated in that input can be performed directly on the display using a predetermined input device (such as a pen for touch panel) or a finger.

Each means in the examination support system 1 of the present invention is only logically distinguished in its function, and may physically or practically form the same area.

In the inspection support system 1, a program (inspection support program) for realizing the inspection support system 1 of the present invention is read into the computer 2 to be inspected after being shipped from the factory to the market, and installed by a predetermined method. I do. An OS is already installed in this computer 2, and the above-described examination support program is installed as an application program that functions on the OS. As a result, the inspection support system 1 can be realized in the computer 2 to be inspected.

The examination support system 1 has a display processing section 20 , an input signal detection processing section 21 , a missing dot processing section 22 and a sound output processing section 23 .

The display processing unit 20 displays an inspection screen 100 shown in FIG. The inspection screen 100 has a keyboard display area 101 that virtually represents a standard keyboard, a dot dropout checker display area 102 for dot dropout inspection, and a sound checker display area 103 for sound output inspection. Although FIG. 4 shows the case where the inspection screen 100 is one window, it may be composed of a plurality of windows.

The input signal detection processing unit 21 monitors and detects an input signal that is output when a key of the keyboard, which is the input device 73 of the computer 2, is pressed. An input signal output by pressing a key of the keyboard differs depending on each key. Therefore, by monitoring and detecting the output of the input signal, it is possible to recognize which key on the keyboard, which is the input device 73, has been pressed.

The input signal detection processing unit 21 recognizes the key corresponding to the detected input signal, and passes the information of the recognized key to the display processing unit 20, thereby indicating that the key has been pressed in the display processing unit 20. Predetermined display change processing, such as key reversal display, is performed. For example, when the keyboard "A" is pressed, "A" is highlighted in the keyboard display area 101 of the inspection screen 100. FIG. FIG. 5 schematically shows this.

Then, by successively pressing keys on the keyboard, the input signal detection processing unit 21 recognizes the key corresponding to the detected input signal, and passes the information of the recognized key to the display processing unit 20. The display processing unit 20 is caused to change the display of the recognized key. FIG. 6 schematically shows this. In this way, by pressing a key on the keyboard of the input device 73, if it is operating normally, the display of the key in the keyboard display area 101 of the inspection screen 100 is changed. Normal operation of the key can be easily recognized.

In addition, there are keys such as the shift key, the Alt key, and the return key (enter key) that are located at different positions even if they are of the same type. Even in this case, since the input signal itself output from the key itself is detected, it is possible to identify and recognize which position of the key was pressed and display it on the inspection screen 100 . FIG. 7 shows this.

Note that the input signal detection processing unit 21 monitors and detects an input signal output by pressing a key on the keyboard, which is the input device 73 of the computer 2, while the window of the inspection screen 100 is active. Then, it is preferable to recognize the key corresponding to the detected input signal and change the display of the key. The detection of the input signal is performed not only while the window of the inspection screen 100 is active, but also while the window of the inspection screen 100 is inactive. You may make it limit and carry out.

Furthermore, even while the window of the inspection screen 100 is inactive, an input signal output by pressing a key on the keyboard, which is the input device 73 of the computer 2, is monitored and detected in the background, A key corresponding to the detected input signal may be recognized and the display of the key may be changed.

When the missing dot processing unit 22 determines that the color of the missing dot checker display area 102 has been selected in the inspection screen 100 displayed by the display processing unit 20, the entire or part of the display device 72 is displayed in the selected color. to display. In the missing dot checker display area 102, black (K) can be selected in addition to the three primary colors (red (R), green (G), and blue (B)) used for dots (one pixel) (each color used for sub-pixels). may This process is performed for at least the three primary colors, and the inspector can visually confirm whether or not there is dot dropout. By accepting a predetermined operation, such as selection of the escape key, the missing dot processor 22 restores the display on the display device 72 to its original state. Note that the missing dot is an event such as a pixel that constitutes the display device 72 does not light up or stays in a lighted state all the time.

When the sound output processing unit 23 selects that the sound checker display area 103 is selected on the inspection screen 100 displayed by the display processing unit 20, the sound balance of the sound output device 75 such as a speaker is adjusted according to the selection. A predetermined sound is output according to the changed sound balance. For example, when the "left speaker" is selected, for example, in the speaker setting managed by the OS of the computer 2, the sound balance is changed so that the sound is output only from the "left speaker", and a predetermined sound is output. The sound output from the sound output device 75 such as a speaker is confirmed by the inspector listening to the output sound. By accepting a predetermined operation, such as a mouse click on the input device 73, the sound output processing unit 23 stops outputting sound and restores the sound balance to the standard state (before change).

Further, when the "right speaker" is selected, for example, in the speaker settings managed by the OS of the computer 2, the sound balance is changed so that the sound is output only from the "right speaker", a predetermined sound is output, By receiving a predetermined operation, the sound output is stopped and the sound balance is returned to the standard state (before change).

Similarly, by selecting the "left and right speakers", for example, in the speaker settings managed by the OS of the computer 2, the sound balance is changed so that the sound is output by 50% from the "left and right speakers", and the predetermined sound is output and a predetermined operation is received, the sound output is stopped and the sound balance is returned to the standard state (before change).

Next, an example of the processing process of the examination support system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG.

For the computer 2 shipped from the factory and sold at the store, when performing a simple operation inspection of the computer 2 by the inspection support system 1 of the present invention, the inspection support program is installed in the computer 2 to be inspected by a predetermined method. install. Then, it is activated by performing a predetermined operation (S100), and the display processing unit 20 causes the display device 72 to display the inspection screen 100 (S110).

After the inspection screen 100 is displayed, by receiving a predetermined operation input (S120), operation inspection of the input device 73 such as a keyboard, missing dot inspection of the display device 72, sound output inspection of the sound output device 75 such as a speaker, etc. can be performed. ，The inspector performs.

When inspecting the operation of the input device 73 such as a keyboard, a key on the keyboard of the computer 2 is pressed. When a key is pressed, the keyboard outputs an input signal corresponding to the pressed key, so the input signal detection processing unit 21 detects it (S130) and recognizes which key has been pressed. When the input signal detection processing unit 21 recognizes the pressed key, the input signal detection processing unit 21 transfers the information to the display processing unit 20, and changes the display by, for example, inverting the display of the key in the keyboard display area 101 on the inspection screen 100. (S140). Then, when a key to be inspected, preferably all keys on the input device 73 such as a keyboard, are pressed, all keys displayed in the keyboard display area 101 on the inspection screen 100 are highlighted, so that all keys are normal. The inspector can recognize that the

Further, when performing dot dropout inspection of the display device 72, when a color to be inspected is selected in the dot dropout checker display area 102 on the inspection screen 100, the dot dropout processing unit 22 accepts the selection of the color, and displays the display device 72. is displayed in the selected color (S150).

For example, when "R" is selected, the missing dot processing unit 22 causes the entire display device 72 to display in "red" so that the inspector can visually check for missing dots in the "red" pixels. . Similarly, when the person in charge of inspection selects "G" or "B", the missing dot processing unit 22 causes the entire display device 72 to display "green" or "blue". , and the inspector visually checks for missing dots in pixels in “blue”. In addition, by selecting "K", the inspector visually checks whether "black" is normally displayed while all "red", "green", and "blue" pixels are hidden. do in

With the above processing, the person in charge of inspection can inspect the missing dots of the display device 72 of the computer 2 .

Furthermore, when performing a sound output inspection of the sound output device 75 such as a speaker, when a speaker for sound output is selected in the sound checker display area 103 on the inspection screen 100, the sound output processing unit 23 responds to the selection by the OS changes the sound balance in the speaker settings managed by (S160), and outputs a predetermined sound with the changed sound balance (S170).

When the "left speaker" is selected, the sound balance is changed so that the sound is output only from the "left speaker" in the speaker settings managed by the OS, and a predetermined sound is output. The inspector listens to the output sound to check whether the sound is being output normally from the left speaker. Also, when the "right speaker" is selected, the sound balance is changed in the speaker settings managed by the OS so that the sound is output only from the "right speaker", and a predetermined sound is output. The inspector listens to the output sound to check whether the sound is being output normally from the right speaker. Furthermore, by selecting the "left and right speakers", the sound balance is changed so that the sound is output by 50% from the "left and right speakers" in the speaker settings managed by the OS, and a predetermined sound is output. The inspector listens to the output sound to check whether the sound is being output normally from the right speaker.

With the above processing, the person in charge of inspection can inspect the sound output of the sound output device 75 such as the speaker of the computer 2 .

The input signal detection processing unit 21 of the examination support system 1 of the present invention acquires related information such as identification information for identifying the model of the keyboard and computer 2 and identification information for identifying the manufacturer from the system information managed by the OS. By doing so, it may be possible to check the operation of special keys unique to the model or manufacturer. In this case, by storing the model and manufacturer of the keyboard and the computer 2, and the information of the input signal output from the keys of the keyboard of the model and manufacturer, especially the input signal of the special key, it is possible to use the standard keyboard. can also support unique special keys that do not exist. Also, the correspondence relationship between related information such as the model and manufacturer of the keyboard and computer 2 and the input signal of the special key may be downloaded from a predetermined website or the like.

Furthermore, when the display processing unit 20 acquires identification information for identifying the above-mentioned keyboard or the type of the computer 2, the display processing unit 20 displays a keyboard according to the layout of the corresponding keyboard on the inspection screen based on the acquired identification information. The display area 101 may be used. In this case, it is possible to perform this in the keyboard display area 101 of the inspection screen 100 by associating the identification information for identifying the model of the keyboard and the computer 2 with the layout of the keyboard.

The input device 73 may be a keyboard, a mouse, or the like.

As the sound output device 75, the case of a speaker has been described, but earphones, headphones, etc. can also be used in the same way.

Furthermore, in the inspection support system 1 of the present invention, when all of the keyboard, missing dots, and sound output are completed normally, inputting information indicating that on the inspection screen 100 automatically cancels the inspection support program. You can run it to install. For example, all the keys in the keyboard display area 101 are highlighted, the input area indicating that there is no missing dot provided in the missing dot checker display area 102 is normally completed, and the sound checker display area 103 is provided. When the completion is normally input to the input area indicating that the balance of the sound output is normal, the inspection support program may be automatically uninstalled upon detection.

Since the examination support system 1 of the present invention operates on the OS, it can process any computer 2 of any model and any manufacturer.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the numeric keypad, function keys and/or special keys may not be displayed in the keyboard display area 101 initially. In the case of a notebook computer, the numeric keypad and function keys may not be present on the computer 2 keyboard. Also, depending on the type of keyboard, there may be special keys that do not exist on the standard layout keyboard.

In this case, the display processing unit 20 in the examination support system 1 of the present invention initially does not display the ten keys, function keys and/or special keys in the keyboard display area 101 of the examination screen 100, and displays the ten keys, function keys and /or when a special key is input and detected by the input signal detection processing unit 21, the corresponding input is made in the numeric key display area 104, the function key display area 105 and/or the special key display area 106. A numeric keypad, function keys and/or special keys may be displayed. In this case, the numeric keys, function keys and/or special keys that have been input are preferably displayed in the numeric key display area 104, the function key display area 105 and/or the special key display area 106 in reversed display.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the inspection screen 100 before the numeric keypad, function keys and/or special keys are entered. FIG. 9 shows an example of the inspection screen 100 when input is made using the numeric keypad and function keys, and FIG. 10 shows an example of the inspection screen 100 when input is made using the special keys.

Note that the function keys are print screen, scroll lock, pause, insert, home, end, page up, page scroll, etc., and mean keys to which certain operations are assigned in advance. Many of the function keys are present on standard keyboards.

A special key is a kind of function key, but it does not exist on a standard keyboard, and is a key to which the manufacturer assigns a unique function. In particular, it is often provided in the case of a notebook computer (laptop computer). For example, there are keys such as "MediaPlayPause" to play/pause media, "AudioVolumeDown" to lower the volume, "AudioVolumeUp" to raise the volume, and "AudioVolumeMute" to mute.

As another embodiment of the present invention, inspection results may be saved. In this case, a button (inspection result save button) 107 for saving the inspection result is provided on the inspection screen 100, and when the button is selected, the inspection screen 100 is captured and saved in an image format. At this time, instead of capturing the inspection screen 100 as it is, it is preferable to capture the keyboard display area 101 in the inspection screen 100 and save it in an image format. FIG. 11 shows an example of an inspection screen 100 having an inspection result save button 107 . FIG. 12 shows an example of an image 200 of the inspection screen 100 saved by selecting the save inspection result button 107 . FIG. 12 shows a case in which input checking has been performed for all keys (all keys are highlighted in the keyboard display area 101). Therefore, when the inspection result save button 107 is selected, if the input inspection of all keys is not performed, the keys for which the input inspection has been performed are displayed in reverse video, and the keys that have not been performed are displayed normally or Do not show. FIG. 13 schematically shows an image 200 of the inspection result 100 in this case.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the date when the inspection was performed and the person in charge of the inspection who performed the inspection may be entered. An example of the inspection screen 100 in this case is shown in FIG. In this case, the date of the inspection is displayed in the date display field 108 of the inspection screen 100 by extracting date information such as a calendar managed by the computer 2 of the inspection support system 1 . In addition, an input field 109 for specifying information (name, code indicating the person in charge of inspection, etc.) for specifying the person in charge of inspection is provided on the inspection screen 100, and input is accepted in the input field 109. FIG. For example, assume that "Taro Yamada" is entered in the input field 109 .
