As a result, the second selection state is selected in the selection means 5. Note that the selection state may be such that the second driver is selected by sliding the slider 50 in the direction of the USB terminal 41 as shown in FIG. 2(B), or the second driver may be selected as shown in FIG. 2(C). The first driver may be selected by sliding the slider 50 in the direction of the dedicated terminal 42.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the information processing system 1. As shown in FIG.
The processing device 3 includes a processing means 30 for processing measurement information from the measurement device 2, as shown in FIG. The processing device 3 also includes a first driver 6 that converts measurement information into a text format and receives it, and a second driver 7 that converts and receives measurement information in a format different from that of the first driver 6. .
The first driver 6 is a driver that inputs measurement information as text data through HID communication, for example. The user selects the first driver 6 when he/she wants to input measurement information as text data.
The second driver 7 is a driver of a type that uses measurement information to a high degree in a communication method different from HID communication, such as installing a dedicated program in the processing device 3 and analyzing the measurement results with a predetermined application. The user selects the second driver 7 when he/she wants to make advanced use of the measurement information in a dedicated program.

The processing means 30 includes a connection detection section 31, a selection state determination section 32, and a switching section 33.
The connection detection unit 31 detects whether or not the connection means 4 is connected. Specifically, the connection detection unit 31 detects whether the processing device 3 and the USB terminal 41 are connected, and the measuring device 2 and the dedicated terminal 42 are connected.
The selection state determination unit 32 determines which selection state the selection means 5 is in, the first selection state or the second selection state. Further, the selection state determination section 32 determines the selection state of the selection means 5 when the connection of the connection means 4 is detected by the connection detection section 31 .

When the selection state is determined by the selection state determination section 32, the switching section 33 switches the driver used in the processing device 3 to the first driver 6 and the second driver 7 based on the determined selection state.

Specifically, the switching unit 33 switches to the first driver 6 when it is determined to be the first selection state based on the selection state determined by the selection state determination unit 32, and switches to the first driver 6 when the selection state is determined to be the first selection state. When it is determined that this is the case, the second driver 7 is used.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a method of switching to either the first driver or the second driver in the processing device of the information processing system. Hereinafter, a method of switching to either the first driver or the second driver will be explained based on FIG. 4.
First, the user selects a desired driver by sliding the slider 50 of the selection means 5 with a finger (see FIG. 2). At this time, when the user slides the slider 50 toward the USB terminal 41 and selects the first driver 6 (see FIG. 2(B)), the selection means 5 enters the first selection state. Further, when the user slides the slider 50 in the direction of the dedicated terminal 42 and selects the second driver 7 (see FIG. 2(C)), the selection means 5 enters the second selection state. Next, the user connects the USB terminal 41 to the processing device 3 with the measuring device 2 and the dedicated terminal 42 connected. Note that the user may connect the dedicated terminal 42 to the measuring device 2 while the USB terminal 41 and the processing device 3 are connected.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the connection detection unit 31 executes a connection detection step of detecting whether or not the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 are connected by the connection means 4 (step ST01). When the connection detection unit 31 detects the connection between the measuring instrument 2 and the processing device 3 (YES in step ST01), the selection state determination unit 32 determines whether the selection state of the selection means 5 is the first selection state or the second selection state. A selection state acquisition step is executed to obtain the selection state of the selection state or the selection state of the selected state (step ST02). If the connection detection unit 31 does not detect the connection between the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 (NO in step ST01), the connection detection unit 31 repeatedly performs the connection detection process (step ST01).

Based on the selection state acquired in the selection state acquisition step (step ST02), the selection state determination unit 32 determines whether the selection state is the first selection state (step ST03). When the selection state determining unit 32 determines that the selection state is the first selection state (YES in step ST03), the switching unit 33 switches the driver in the processing device 3 to the first driver 6. A switching process is executed to (step ST04).

Furthermore, if the selection state determination section 32 determines that the selection state is not the first selection state (NO at step ST03) based on the selection state acquired in the selection state acquisition step (step ST02), the switching section 33 executes a second driver switching step of switching the driver in the processing device 3 to the second driver 7 (step ST05). Through these steps, the information processing system 1 switches the processing device 3 to either the first driver or the second driver. Note that if the selection state determination unit 32 determines that the selection state is neither the first selection state nor the second selection state, for example, a warning display is displayed on a display means (not shown) included in the processing device 3 to indicate that there is an error. It may be displayed to the user.

According to this embodiment, the following actions and effects can be achieved.
(1) The connection means 4 of the information processing system 1 includes a selection means 5 that is operated by the user to select a selection state, and the processing means 30 selects a selection state when the selection state is determined by the selection state determination unit 32. A switching section 33 is provided that switches to the first driver 6 or the second driver 7 based on the selection state determined by the state determining section 32. The user can easily select the drivers 6 and 7 to use by operating the selection means 5, and the processing means 30 can switch between the drivers 6 and 7 based on the selection. Therefore, the information processing system 1 allows the user to select a plurality of drivers 6, 7, and can easily switch between the plurality of drivers 6, 7 based on the selection.
(2) Since the connection means 4 includes a selection means 5 which is operated by the user to select one of the first selection state and the second selection state, the connection means 4 has a plurality of drivers 6, 7. can be easily selected.

(3) Since the selection means 5 is a mechanical switch operated by the user, the user can easily select the drivers 6 and 7 to be used by operating the mechanical switch.
(4) The processing means 30 can recognize when the connecting means 4 is connected by being provided with the connection detecting section 31 that detects whether the connecting means 4 is connected. Further, the selection state determination section 32 determines the selection state of the selection means 5 at the timing when the connection means 4 is connected, so that the drivers 6 and 7 can be switched at an appropriate timing, improving usability. can be done.

[Second embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on FIGS. 5 to 7. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the parts that have already been described, and the description thereof will be omitted.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a connecting means 4A of an information processing system 1A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 5(A) is a diagram before pressing the button 50A of the selecting means 5A in the connecting means 4A, and FIG. 5(B) is a diagram before pressing the button 50A of the selecting means 5A in the connecting means 4A. This is a diagram showing the

In the first embodiment, the connection means 4 is a USB terminal 41 that connects to the processing device 3, a dedicated terminal 42 that connects to the measuring instrument 2, and a transmission/reception cable that connects the USB terminal 41 and the dedicated terminal 42 by wire. The selection means 5 is a mechanical switch operated by the user, and includes a slider 50 provided near the USB terminal 41.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the connection means 4A in the information processing system 1A includes a USB terminal 41A that does not have a slider 50, unlike the first embodiment, and a selection means 5A, and the measuring device 2 A dedicated terminal 42A that connects to the USB terminal 41A and a connecting portion 43 that is a transmission/reception cable that connects the USB terminal 41A and the dedicated terminal 42A by wire as in the first embodiment. The selection means 5A is different from the first embodiment in that it includes a button 50A which is a push-button switch of a mechanical switch that selects one of the first selection state and the second selection state depending on whether or not it is pressed. different from.

The button 50A is provided on the dedicated terminal 42A of the connecting means 4A, and when pressed by the user from the state shown in FIG. 5(A) to the state shown in FIG. 5(B), the first driver 6 and the second driver 7, or outputs measurement information to the processing device 3. Note that the button 50A does not need to be provided on the dedicated terminal 42A, and may be provided at any position as long as it can be operated by the user. Further, the connection section 43 may connect the USB terminal 41A and the dedicated terminal 42A wirelessly instead of using a wired transmission/reception cable.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the information processing system 1A.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the button 50A of the selection means 5A is pressed, the selection state determination unit 32A of the processing means 30A connects the measuring instrument 2 and the dedicated terminal 42A, and connects the USB terminal 41A and the processing device 3. When the connection detection unit 31 detects, it is determined that the selected state is one of the first selection state and the second selection state selected by the selection means 5A. In addition, the selection state determination unit 32A determines that the connection detection unit 31 detects the connection between the measuring device 2 and the dedicated terminal 42A and the connection between the USB terminal 41A and the processing device 3 when the button 50A of the selection means 5A is not pressed. At this time, it is determined that the selected state is the other one of the first selection state and the second selection state selected by the selection means 5A. In these points, the selection state determining section 32A of the processing means 30A differs from the first embodiment.

Further, the connection means 4A is triggered by the user pressing the button 50A of the selection means 5A after the switching unit 33 switches to either the first driver 6 or the second driver 7. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it includes an output means 8 for outputting measurement information to the processing means 30A. Specifically, the output means 8 is a push-button switch button 50A that is the same as the selection means 5A (see FIG. 5), and when the switching unit 33 switches between the drivers 6 and 7, the output is output from the selection means 5A. The function switches to means 8.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a method of switching to either the first driver or the second driver in the processing device 3 of the information processing system 1A. Hereinafter, a method of switching to either the first driver 6 or the second driver 7 will be explained based on FIG. 7.
First, the user selects a desired driver using the button 50A of the selection means 5A (see FIG. 5). At this time, if the user selects the first driver 6 by connecting the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 using the connecting means 4A while pressing the button 50A (see FIG. 5(B)), the selecting means 5A selects the first driver 6. 1 is selected. Furthermore, when the user selects the second driver 7 by connecting the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 using the connecting means 4A without pressing the button 50A (see FIG. 5(A)), the selecting means 5A 2 is selected. Therefore, the user selects whether or not to press the button 50A so as to obtain the desired driver, and connects the USB terminal 41A to the processing device 3 with the measuring instrument 2 and the dedicated terminal 42A connected. Note that the user may connect the dedicated terminal 42A to the measuring device 2 while the USB terminal 41A and the processing device 3 are connected.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the connection detecting section 31 executes a connection detecting step of detecting whether or not the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 are connected by the connecting means 4A (step ST11). When the connection between the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 is detected (YES in step ST11), the selection state determination unit 32A determines whether the selection state of the selection means 5A is the first selection state or the second selection state. A selection state acquisition step for determining whether the selected state is selected or not is executed (step ST12). Specifically, when the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 are connected by the connecting means 4A while the button 50A is pressed, the first selection state is obtained, and when the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 are connected by the connecting means 4A without the button 50A being pressed. 2 and processing device 3 are connected, a second selection state is acquired. If the connection between the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 is not detected (NO in step ST11), the connection detection unit 31 repeatedly performs the connection detection process (step ST11).

Based on the selection state acquired in the selection state acquisition step (step ST12), the selection state determination unit 32A determines whether the selection state is the first selection state (step ST13). When the selection state determining unit 32A determines that the selection state is the first selection state (YES in step ST13), the switching unit 33 switches the driver in the processing device 3 to the first driver 6. A switching process is executed to (step ST14).

Further, when the selection state determination unit 32A determines that the selection state is not the first selection state (NO in step ST13) based on the selection state acquired in the selection state acquisition step (step ST12), the switching unit 33 executes a second driver switching step of switching the driver in the processing device 3 to the second driver 7 (step ST15).

After the switching step of step ST14 or step ST15 is executed, the output means 8 determines whether or not the button 50A used as the selection means 5A has been pressed (step ST16). When it is determined that the button 50A has been pressed (YES in step ST16), the output means 8 executes a measurement information output step of outputting measurement information to the processing device 3 (step ST17). When it is determined that the button 50A is not pressed (NO in step ST16), or after the measurement information output step (step ST17) is executed, the output means 8 repeats the determination until the button 50A is pressed. is executed (step ST16).

Through these steps, the information processing system 1A switches the processing device 3 to either the first driver 6 or the second driver 7, and the output means 8 is the same as the selection means 5A. Measurement information is output based on whether or not the button 50A of the push button switch is operated.
Note that if the selection state determination unit 32A determines that the selection state is neither the first selection state nor the second selection state, or if the measurement information is not normally output in steps ST16 and ST17, for example, the A warning display may be displayed on the display means to indicate to the user that there is an error.

In the second embodiment as well, in addition to the same actions and effects as (1) to (4) in the first embodiment, the following actions and effects can also be achieved.
(5) The selection means 5A is a push-button switch, and when the selection means 5A is pressed and connected to the processing device 3, the switching section 33 selects the selection state based on the selection state determined by the selection state determination section 32. When switching to either the first driver 6 or the second driver 7 and the selection means 5A is not pressed and connected to the processing device 3, the switching unit 33 selects the selection state determined by the selection state determination unit 32. Based on this, the driver switches to either the first driver 6 or the second driver 7. Therefore, the information processing system 1A can easily select the drivers 6, 7 and switch to the driver 6, 7 desired by the user using the selection means 5A having a simple mechanism.
(6) The connection means 4A can use the selection means 5A as the output means 8 after the switching unit 33 switches to the driver 6 or 7 desired by the user selected by the selection means 5A. Therefore, in the information processing system 1A, the connecting means 4A can serve as both the selection means 5A and the output means 8, so that cost reduction can be achieved.

[Variation of embodiment]
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the present invention includes modifications, improvements, etc. within a range that can achieve the object of the present invention.
For example, in each of the embodiments described above, the measuring device 2 is a caliper, but other measuring devices such as a micrometer, an indicator, a height gauge, a hole test, etc. may be used. In short, the measuring device may be of any type as long as it can measure the measurement target and output measurement information.
In the first embodiment, the second driver 7 is a driver that uses measurement information in a sophisticated manner, but what would happen if it could convert and accept measurement information in a format different from that of the first driver? It may be a driver. Further, in each of the embodiments described above, the processing device 3 includes two drivers, the first driver 6 and the second driver 7, and the information processing systems 1 and 1A switch between the drivers 6 and 7. The device may include three or more drivers, and the information processing system may switch between three or more drivers.

In the second embodiment, the first selection state is achieved by connecting the connecting means 4A to the processing device 3 while pressing the button 50A of the selecting means 5A, and the connecting means 4A is processed without pressing the button 50A of the selecting means 5A. By connecting to the device 3, the second selection state is entered, but by connecting the connection means 4A to the processing device 3 while pressing the button 50A of the selection means 5A, the second selection state is entered, and when the button 50A of the selection means 5A is pressed, the second selection state is entered. The first selection state may be entered by connecting the connecting means 4A to the processing device 3 without pressing 50A. In short, any selection state may be selected depending on whether or not the button 50A of the selection means 5A is pressed.
Further, in the first embodiment, the slider 50 of the selection means 5 is a slide type switch, and in the second embodiment, the button 50A of the selection means 5A is a push button type switch, and both are mechanical switches. Although the selection means is a switch, it does not have to be a mechanical switch, and may be a switch that can be selected by voice input, for example. In short, it is sufficient that the selection means can be operated by the user to select one of the first selection state and the second selection state.

In each of the embodiments described above, the processing means 30 and 30A were provided with the connection detection section 31 for detecting whether or not the connection means 4 and 4A were connected, but the processing means 30 and 30A do not need to be provided with the connection detection section. In this case, for example, the selection means 5, 5A may be operated in a state where the measuring device 2 and the processing device 3 are connected by the connection means 4, 4A, and the processing means is in the selected state of the selection means 5, 5A. Based on this, it may be possible to switch to either the first driver or the second driver during the measurement. In short, the processing means includes a selection state determination section that determines the selection state of the selection means, and when the selection state determination section determines the selection state, the processing means determines the first selection state based on the selection state determined by the selection state determination section. It is only necessary to include a switching unit that switches to the first driver when it is determined that the driver is in the selected state, and switches to the second driver when it is determined that the driver is in the second selected state.
In the second embodiment, the selection means 5A functions as the output means 8 after switching between the drivers 6 and 7 by the switching unit 33, but the output means does not have to serve as the selection means, and other means may be used. may be used as an output means or may not be provided.
