Description

This relates to an inspection support system that provides support for simple computer-based inspections.

When a computer is shipped, it is inspected at the computer assembly factory to ensure that it functions properly before being shipped to the market. Therefore, as a rule, defective products that do not function properly are not shipped to the market. This operation inspection is also carried out on keyboards, dead pixels on display devices (monitors), speakers, etc.

For example, a keyboard might check whether input is detected correctly when a button is pressed; for a display device, whether there are dead pixels; and for a speaker, whether sound is output correctly.

An example of a conventional technique for inspecting keyboards is shown in Patent Document 1 below, an example of a conventional technique for inspecting display devices is shown in Patent Document 2 below, and an example of a conventional technique for inspecting speakers is shown in Patent Document 3 below.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 53-54417 JP 2008-304228 A Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-311579

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

On the other hand, there are cases where defects are overlooked during factory inspections. Also, even if the computer was shipped properly, for some reason (such as during transportation to the store), the keyboard, display device, or speakers used with the computer may not function properly when delivered to the purchaser.

In particular, when it comes to dead dots in display devices, manufacturers may not consider dead dots below a certain number to be manufacturing defects due to the characteristics of the product. However, even if the number of dead dots is below what the manufacturer considers to be a manufacturing defect, computer purchasers may not like dead dots and may request an exchange from the retailer. In response to such requests, the retailer may exchange the computer as part of its customer service.

However, retailers do not usually have the specialized inspection capabilities or equipment that manufacturers use when products are shipped from the factory, and so do not generally inspect keyboards, displays, or speakers. Therefore, when situations like the one above arise, retailers will become aware of them through complaints from purchasers and deal with them on a case-by-case basis, but the mere existence of complaints is not desirable for retailers in the first place.

Therefore, there is a need for a support system that allows retailers to carry out simple inspections.

In view of the above problems, the present inventor has developed an inspection support system that provides support for simple computer-based inspections.

A first invention is an inspection support system that supports the inspection of a computer after it has been shipped from a factory to the market , the inspection support system having an input signal detection processing unit that detects a signal corresponding to an input at an input device of the computer, a dot drop processing unit that displays all or a part of the computer's display device in a color used at least in the subpixels, and a sound output processing unit that changes the left and right sound balance and outputs sound from the computer's sound output device based on the sound balance.

By using the inspection support system of the present invention, simple inspections of computers can be performed at retail stores and other locations after they have been shipped from the factory. In particular, simple inspections can be performed all at once on the input device, display device, and sound output device of a computer after it has been shipped, without using dedicated inspection equipment.

In the above-mentioned invention, the examination support system has a display processing unit that displays an examination screen including a display area of a virtual input device, and the display processing unit can be configured as an examination support system that can save a part or all of the examination screen in an image format.

It would be preferable to be able to save the test results in image format so that they can be kept as a record.

A third invention is an inspection support system that supports the inspection of a computer after it has been shipped from a factory to a market , the inspection support system having an input signal detection processing unit that detects a signal corresponding to an input at an input device of the computer, a dot drop processing unit that displays all or a part of the display device of the computer in a color used at least in subpixels, a sound output processing unit that changes the left and right sound balance and outputs sound from the sound output device of the computer based on the sound balance, and a display processing unit that displays an inspection screen including a display area of a virtual input device, wherein the display processing unit is capable of saving a part or all of the inspection screen in image format, and displays a date or date and/or an inspector input field on the inspection screen, and when an operation to save a part or all of the inspection screen in image format is accepted, the inspection support system saves specific information of the inspector entered in the date or date and/or inspector input field together with a part or all of the inspection screen in image format .

The date, time, and specific information about the inspector can be determined from the meta information of the image file, but this can easily be altered. For this reason, it is preferable to be able to save the data in image format.

The inspection support system of the first invention can realize simple inspection of a computer to be inspected by loading and executing the program of the present invention into the computer to be inspected. That is, the inspection support program causes the computer to function after being shipped from a factory to the market as an input signal detection processing unit that detects a signal corresponding to an input at an input device of the computer, a dot dropout processing unit that displays all or a part of the display device of the computer in at least a color used in a subpixel, and a sound output processing unit that changes the sound balance between the left and right and outputs sound from a sound output device of the computer according to the sound balance.
The inspection support system of the third invention can realize a simple inspection of a computer to be inspected by loading and executing the program of the present invention into the computer to be inspected. That is, the inspection support program causes the computer to function as an input signal detection processing unit that detects a signal corresponding to an input at an input device of the computer after being shipped from a factory to the market , a dot drop processing unit that displays all or a part of the display device of the computer in a color used at least in subpixels, a sound output processing unit that changes the sound balance between the left and right and outputs sound from the sound output device of the computer according to the sound balance, and a display processing unit that displays an inspection screen including a display area of a virtual input device, the display processing unit being capable of saving a part or all of the inspection screen in an image format, displaying a date or date and/or an inspector input field on the inspection screen, and, upon receiving an operation to save a part or all of the inspection screen in an image format, saving specific information of the inspector entered in the date or date and/or inspector input field together with a part or all of the inspection screen in an image format.

By using the inspection support system of the present invention, simple inspection of computers can be performed without using specialized equipment.

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

The inspection support system 1 of the present invention is realized by loading a program that realizes the functions of each processing unit of the present invention into the computer 2. The computer 2 in this case is the computer 2 that is the subject of the inspection. The computer 2 has a calculation device 70 such as a CPU that executes the calculation processing of the program, a storage device 71 such as a RAM or a hard disk that stores information, a display device 72 such as a display, an input device 73 such as a keyboard that inputs information, a communication device 74 that communicates the processing results of the calculation device 70 and the information stored in the storage device 71, and a sound output device 75 such as a speaker. In addition, when the computer 2 has a touch panel display, the display device 72 and the input device 73 may be configured integrally. The computer 2 may be, for example, a desktop computer, a laptop computer (notebook computer), or a tablet computer.

A touch panel display is a device that combines the functions of a display device 72 and an input device 73 in that input can be made directly on the display using a specified input device (such as a touch panel pen) or a finger.

The functions of each means in the test support system 1 of the present invention are only logically distinct, and may be physically or practically in the same area.

In the inspection support system 1, a program for realizing the inspection support system 1 of the present invention (inspection support program) is read into the computer 2 to be inspected after it has been shipped from the factory to the market, and installation is performed in a predetermined manner. An OS is already installed in this computer 2, and the above-mentioned inspection support program is installed as an application program that functions on the OS. In this way, the inspection support system 1 can be realized in the computer 2 to be inspected.

The test support system 1 has a display processing unit 20, an input signal detection processing unit 21, a dot dropout processing unit 22, and a sound output processing unit 23.

The display processing unit 20 receives a predetermined operation in the computer 2 and displays the inspection screen 100 shown in FIG. 4 on the display device 72. 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. Note that while FIG. 4 shows the case where the inspection screen 100 is one window, it may be composed of multiple windows.

The input signal detection processing unit 21 monitors and detects the input signal output when a key on the keyboard, which is the input device 73 of the computer 2, is pressed. The input signal output when a key on the keyboard is pressed varies depending on the 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, causing the display processing unit 20 to perform a predetermined display change process to indicate that a key has been pressed, such as inverting the display of the key. For example, when the keyboard key "A" is pressed, "A" is displayed inverted in the keyboard display area 101 of the test screen 100. This is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5.

As keys on the keyboard are pressed one by one, the input signal detection processing unit 21 recognizes the key corresponding to the detected input signal and passes information about the recognized key to the display processing unit 20, causing the display processing unit 20 to change the display of the recognized key. This is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 6. In this way, when a key on the keyboard of the input device 73 is pressed, if it is operating normally, the display of the key in the keyboard display area 101 of the examination screen 100 is changed, allowing the examiner to easily recognize that the key is operating normally.

In addition, there are also keys of the same type that are present multiple times in different positions, such as the shift key, Alt key, return key (enter key), etc. Even in this case, since the input signal output from the key itself is detected, it is possible to identify and recognize which key has been pressed, and display this on the test screen 100. This is shown in Figure 7.

The input signal detection processing unit 21 preferably monitors and detects input signals output by pressing keys on the keyboard, which is the input device 73 of the computer 2, while the window of the examination screen 100 is active, recognizes the key corresponding to the detected input signal, and changes the display of that key. The detection of input signals is not limited to when the window of the examination screen 100 is active, but may also be performed when the window of the examination screen 100 is inactive, and the display of the recognized key may be changed only while the window is active.

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

When the dot dropout processing section 22 determines that the color of the dot dropout checker display area 102 has been selected on the inspection screen 100 displayed by the display processing section 20, it displays the entirety or part of the display device 72 in the selected color. In the dot dropout checker display area 102, in addition to the three primary colors (red (R), green (G), and blue (B)) (each color used in a subpixel) used in a dot (one pixel), black (K) may also be selected. By performing this for at least the three primary colors and visually checking it, the inspector can visually check whether there is a dot dropout. Note that by accepting a predetermined operation, for example, the selection of the escape key, the dot dropout processing section 22 returns the display of the display device 72 to its original state. Note that a dot dropout is an event in which a pixel constituting the display device 72 does not light up or is always lit up.

When the sound output processing unit 23 selects that the sound checker display area 103 has been selected on the examination screen 100 displayed by the display processing unit 20, the sound output processing unit 23 changes the sound balance of the sound output device 75 such as a speaker in accordance with the selection, and outputs a specified sound with the changed sound balance. For example, when the "left speaker" is selected, the sound balance is changed so that sound is output only from the "left speaker" in the speaker settings managed by the OS of the computer 2, and a specified sound is output. The examiner listens to the output sound to check the sound output from the sound output device 75 such as a speaker. Note that by receiving a specified operation, such as a mouse click of the input device 73, the sound output processing unit 23 stops outputting sound and returns the sound balance to the standard state (before the change).

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

Similarly, when "left and right speakers" are selected, the sound balance is changed in the speaker settings managed by the OS of computer 2 so that 50% of the sound is output from the "left and right speakers," and a specified sound is output; by receiving a specified operation, the sound output is stopped and the sound balance is returned to the standard state (before the change).

Next, an example of the processing process of the test support system 1 of the present invention will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 2.

When a simple operational test of a computer 2 shipped from a factory and sold at a retail store is to be performed using the test assistance system 1 of the present invention, the test assistance program is installed in the computer 2 to be tested using a predetermined method. The program is then started by performing a predetermined operation (S100), and the display processing unit 20 displays the test screen 100 on the display device 72 (S110).

After the inspection screen 100 is displayed, the inspector accepts a specified operational input (S120) and performs an operation inspection of an input device 73 such as a keyboard, a dead pixel inspection of a display device 72, a sound output inspection of a sound output device 75 such as a speaker, etc.

When inspecting the operation of an 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, which is detected by the input signal detection processing unit 21 (S130) and recognizes which key was pressed. When the input signal detection processing unit 21 recognizes the pressed key, it passes the information to the display processing unit 20, which changes the display by, for example, inverting the display of the key in the keyboard display area 101 on the inspection screen 100 (S140). When the keys to be inspected, preferably all the keys on the input device 73 such as a keyboard, are pressed, the display of all the keys in the keyboard display area 101 on the inspection screen 100 is inverted, so the inspector can recognize that all the keys are operating normally.

When inspecting the display device 72 for missing dots, the color to be inspected is selected in the missing dot checker display area 102 on the inspection screen 100, and the missing dot processing unit 22 accepts the color selection and displays all or part of the display device 72 in the selected color (S150).

For example, when "R" is selected, the dot dropout processing unit 22 causes the entire display device 72 to be displayed in "red," allowing the inspector to visually check for dot dropouts in "red" pixels. Similarly, when the inspector selects "G" or "B," the dot dropout processing unit 22 causes the entire display device 72 to be displayed in "green" and "blue," allowing the inspector to visually check for dot dropouts in "green" and "blue" pixels. Furthermore, when the inspector selects "K," the inspector visually checks whether "black" is displayed normally with all "red," "green," and "blue" pixels hidden.

By performing the above process, the inspector can inspect the display device 72 of the computer 2 for missing dots.

Furthermore, when performing a sound output test on a sound output device 75 such as a speaker, when the speaker from which sound is to be output is selected in the sound checker display area 103 on the test screen 100, the sound output processing unit 23 changes the sound balance in the speaker settings managed by the OS in accordance with the selection (S160), and outputs a specified sound with the changed sound balance (S170).

When "left speaker" is selected, the sound balance is changed in the speaker settings managed by the OS so that sound is output only from the "left speaker", and a specified sound is output. The inspector listens to the output sound to confirm that sound is being output normally from the left speaker. When "right speaker" is selected, the sound balance is changed in the speaker settings managed by the OS so that sound is output only from the "right speaker", and a specified sound is output. The inspector listens to the output sound to confirm that sound is being output normally from the right speaker. When "left and right speakers" are selected, the sound balance is changed in the speaker settings managed by the OS so that sound is output 50% each from the "left and right speakers", and a specified sound is output. The inspector listens to the output sound to confirm that sound is being output normally from the right speaker.

By carrying out the above process, the inspector can carry out a sound output inspection of the sound output device 75, such as a speaker, of the computer 2.

The input signal detection processing unit 21 of the inspection support system 1 of the present invention may obtain related information, such as identification information for identifying the model of the keyboard or computer 2 and identification information for identifying the manufacturer, from the system information managed by the OS, so that it can inspect the operation of special keys unique to that model or manufacturer. In this case, by storing the model or manufacturer of the keyboard or computer 2 and information on the input signals output from the keys of the keyboard of that model or manufacturer, particularly the input signals of the special keys, it is possible to handle unique special keys that do not exist on standard keyboards. In addition, the correspondence between related information such as the model and manufacturer of the keyboard or computer 2 and the input signals of the special keys may be obtained by downloading it from a specified website, etc.

Furthermore, when the display processing unit 20 acquires identification information for identifying the above-mentioned keyboard or the type of computer 2, the display processing unit 20 may perform display according to the corresponding keyboard arrangement in the keyboard display area 101 on the examination screen based on the acquired identification information. In this case, by associating the identification information for identifying the type of keyboard or the computer 2 with the keyboard arrangement, this can be performed in the keyboard display area 101 of the examination screen 100.

The input device 73 may be a keyboard or a mouse.

Although a speaker has been described as the sound output device 75, it can also be implemented with earphones, headphones, etc.

Furthermore, in the inspection assistance system 1 of the present invention, if the keyboard, dead dots, and sound output are all completed normally, when information indicating this is entered on the inspection screen 100, the inspection assistance program may be executed to be automatically uninstalled. For example, if all keys in the keyboard display area 101 are displayed inverted, a normal completion is entered in an input area provided in the dead dot checker display area 102 indicating that there are no dead dots, and a normal completion is entered in an input area provided in the sound checker display area 103 indicating that the sound output alignment is normal, when this is detected, the inspection assistance program may be executed to be automatically uninstalled.

The inspection support system 1 of the present invention runs on an OS, so it can process any model or manufacturer of computer 2.

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

In this case, the display processing unit 20 in the examination support system 1 of the present invention may not initially display the numeric keypad, function keys and/or special keys in the keyboard display area 101 of the examination screen 100, and when the input signal detection processing unit 21 detects an input on the numeric keypad, function key and/or special key, it may display the numeric keypad, function key and/or special key on which the input was made in the numeric keypad display area 104, function key display area 105 and/or special key display area 106. In this case, it is preferable to display the numeric keypad, function key and/or special key on which the input was made in the numeric keypad display area 104, function key display area 105 and/or special key display area 106 in an inverted state.

An example of the examination screen 100 before any input is made from the numeric keypad, function keys, and/or special keys is shown in FIG. 8. An example of the examination screen 100 when any input is made from the numeric keypad and function keys is shown in FIG. 9, and an example of the examination screen 100 when any input is made from special keys is shown in FIG. 10.

Function keys are keys that have some operation assigned to them in advance, such as print screen, scroll lock, pause, insert, home, end, page up, and page scroll. Most function keys are present on standard keyboards.

Special keys are a type of function key, but they do not exist on standard keyboards, and are keys to which manufacturers assign their own functions. They are often provided especially on notebook computers (laptop computers). 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 the sound.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the test results may be saved. In this case, a button (save test results button) 107 for saving the test results is provided on the test screen 100, and when the button is selected, the test screen 100 is captured and saved in image format. In this case, it is preferable to capture the keyboard display area 101 on the test screen 100 and save it in image format, rather than capturing the test screen 100 as is. An example of the test screen 100 equipped with the save test results button 107 is shown in FIG. 11. Also, an example of an image 200 of the test screen 100 saved when the save test results button 107 is selected is shown in FIG. 12. FIG. 12 shows a case where input testing has been performed on all keys (when all keys are displayed inverted in the keyboard display area 101). Therefore, when the save test results button 107 is selected, if input testing has not been performed on all keys, the keys on which input testing has been performed are displayed inverted, and the keys on which input testing has not been performed are displayed normally or are not displayed. FIG. 13 shows a schematic diagram of the image 200 of the test results 100 in this case.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the date the test was performed and the name of the tester who performed the test may be input. An example of the test screen 100 in this case is shown in FIG. 14. In this case, the date of the test is displayed in a date display field 108 on the test screen 100 by extracting date information from a calendar or the like managed by the computer 2 by the test support system 1. In addition, an input field 109 for information identifying the tester (such as a name or a code indicating the tester) is provided on the test screen 100, and input is accepted in this input field 109. For example, suppose "Yamada Taro" is input in the input field 109.

When information identifying the inspector is entered in the inspector's input field 109, and the save inspection result button 107 is selected, the keyboard display area 101 of the inspection screen 100, and the information identifying the inspector entered in the date display field 108 and input field 109 are captured and saved in image format. An example of an image 200 of the saved inspection screen 100 is shown in FIG. 15.

In the image 200 of the examination screen 100 shown in FIG. 15, the date the examination was performed and information identifying the person in charge of the examination are also saved in image format. This makes it more difficult to tamper with than when the date, the user name of the computer 2, etc. are saved as meta information in the image file when the examination results screen is simply saved in image format. This ensures the authenticity of the examination results.

In addition to the date, the date and time may be saved in image format in the image 200 by extracting date and time information from a clock built into the computer 2 and displaying the date and time on the examination screen 100. The date is identified by reading information such as a calendar managed by the computer 2, and the time is identified by reading time information from a clock built into the computer 2, and the date and time are displayed in the date and time display field 110 of the examination screen 100. An example of the examination screen 100 in this case is shown in FIG. 16. When the examination result save button 107 on the examination screen 100 is selected, the keyboard display area 101 of the examination screen 100, and information identifying the examiner entered in the date and time display field 110 and input field 109 are captured and saved in image format. An example of an image 200 of the saved examination screen 100 is shown in FIG. 17.

As another embodiment of the present invention, multiple keyboard formats may be switchable by tab 111 or the like. Japanese keyboards, English keyboards, and Mac keyboards have different key arrangements. Therefore, by making these switchable by tab 111 or the like on the examination screen 100, an examination can be performed in the keyboard display area 101 with an appropriate key arrangement. FIG. 18 shows an example of the examination screen 100 when the Japanese keyboard is selected on tab 111, FIG. 19 shows an example of the examination screen 100 when the English keyboard is selected on tab 111, and FIG. 20 shows an example of the examination screen 100 when the Mac keyboard is selected on tab 111.

The present invention can be modified in design as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. The processes are merely examples, and the processes can be executed in a different order. Furthermore, the screen display can also be modified as appropriate. Also, it is not necessary to provide all the functions, and it is also acceptable to provide only some of the functions.

By using the inspection support system 1 of the present invention, simple inspection of the computer 2 can be performed without using specialized equipment.
