Information presentation device, information presentation system, and computer-readable recording medium

This disclosure relates to an information presentation device, an information presentation system, and a computer-readable recording medium.

A wide range of services (functions) are provided by control devices that drive and control industrial machinery. Some of these services are essential for the desired processing, while others are recommended for use in conjunction with other services. Devices that provide the information necessary for the desired processing are well known, for example, in Patent Document 1.

Industrial machinery users do not necessarily know the information required to identify the services required to achieve their desired processing (service name, designated drawing number, and other order information). Furthermore, the information required to identify the aforementioned services differs depending on the manufacturer of the industrial machinery or control device.

WO 2006/137120

It is difficult for users to determine whether the services required for the desired processing are available for their own industrial machinery, and if the services are unavailable, it is also difficult for users to immediately determine whether their industrial machinery meets the conditions for service application.
In the field, there is a demand for technology that can present information related to services that users need.

The information presentation device disclosed herein solves the above problem by querying an interactive response device equipped with generative AI using large-scale language models (LLMs) and the like to determine the control device services (functions) required for processing based on processing information such as the desired shape to be processed and unique information that can identify the industrial machinery to be used, determining whether the services obtained as a response can be used with the industrial machinery to be used, and outputting the determination result and application conditions.

One aspect of the present disclosure is an information presentation device comprising: a machine-specific information receiving unit that receives machine-specific information that uniquely identifies an industrial machine and a control device; a processing information receiving unit that receives processing information that includes at least a shape to be processed by the industrial machine and the control device; a prompt creating unit that creates a prompt that includes a service inquiry required to perform the processing indicated by the processing information using the industrial machine and the control device identified by the machine-specific information; a transmitting unit that transmits the prompt to an interactive response device; a receiving unit that receives a response from the interactive response device that includes service identification information that identifies the service; a determining unit that obtains configuration information that includes information related to the configuration of the industrial machine and the control device identified by the machine-specific information, and determines whether the service is available based on the configuration information and the service identification information included in the response; and an output unit that outputs the result of the determination.

[First embodiment]
1 is a schematic hardware configuration diagram showing the main parts of an information display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. The information display device 1 according to this embodiment can be implemented, for example, on a control device that controls industrial machinery. The information display device 1 can also be implemented, for example, on a computer such as a personal computer attached to the control device, a personal computer connected to the control device via a wired or wireless network, a cell computer, a fog computer 6, or a cloud server 7. This embodiment shows an example in which the information display device 1 is implemented on a computer connected to a control device that controls industrial machinery via a network.

The CPU 11 provided in the information presentation device 1 according to this embodiment is a processor that controls the information presentation device 1 as a whole. The CPU 11 reads a system program stored in the ROM 12 via the bus 22 and controls the entire information presentation device 1 in accordance with the system program. The RAM 13 temporarily stores temporary calculation data, display data, and various data acquired from external sources.

The non-volatile memory 14 is composed of, for example, a battery-backed memory (not shown) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), and retains its memory state even when the information presentation device 1 is powered off. The non-volatile memory 14 stores programs and data read from the external device 72 via the interface 15, programs and data input via the input device 71, and programs and data obtained from the control device 3 that controls the industrial machinery 4 or other devices via the network 5. The programs and data stored in the non-volatile memory 14 may be expanded into the RAM 13 when executed/used. In addition, various system programs such as well-known analysis programs are pre-written in the ROM 12.

The interface 15 is an interface for connecting the CPU 11 of the information presentation device 1 to an external device 72 such as a USB device. For example, system programs, setting data, etc. are read from the external device 72. In addition, programs and setting data created or edited within the information presentation device 1 can be stored in external storage means via the external device 72.

The interface 20 is an interface for connecting the CPU 11 of the information presentation device 1 to a wired or wireless network 5. The network 5 may communicate using technologies such as serial communication such as RS-485, Ethernet (registered trademark), optical communication, wireless LAN, Wi-Fi (registered trademark), or Bluetooth (registered trademark). The network 5 is connected to a control device 3 that controls at least one industrial machine 4 to be verified, an interactive response device 2 that responds to inquiries from users, a fog computer 6, a cloud server 7, and other devices, and exchanges data with the information presentation device 1.

Display device 70 displays data read into memory, data obtained as a result of executing programs, etc., output via interface 17. Furthermore, input device 71, which is comprised of at least one input device such as a keyboard, pointing device, voice input device, imaging device, barcode reader, etc., passes commands, data, etc. based on user operations to CPU 11 via interface 18.

The interactive response device 2 is configured as a device that returns a response sentence to a predetermined sentence. The interactive response device 2 is equipped with large-scale language models (LLMs) that have learned response sentences to predetermined sentences. This model can be a well-known model such as a Transformer model. The large-scale language model learns the probability that a given sentence will be a response to the given sentence when input. It also learns the probability that each text will be followed by other texts. By repeating this learning process, the large-scale language model will output a text string with a high probability as a response to a given sentence when input. Depending on how the learning process learns documents that will be responses to the given sentence, the interactive response device 2 can be used for purposes such as dialogue, question and answer session, text summarization, text editing, text translation, text conversion, text modification, text optimization, text interpretation, text detection, recognition, prediction, judgment, code generation, image generation, and comprehensive judgment.

The information presentation device 1 according to the present disclosure is assumed to be connected to an interactive response device 2 via a network 5. This interactive response device 2 has a model that has been trained based on various information publicly available on the Internet, for example. Information publicly available on the Internet includes information related to services available for each control device and industrial machine. This information is published on the Internet by the manufacturers of each control device and industrial machine. If necessary, additional learning (fine tuning) may be performed in advance using, as learning data, manuals and specifications for the industrial machine 4 and control device 3, processing information including at least the respective processing shapes, and information related to services required to realize the processing indicated by the processing information on each industrial machine and control device. By narrowing down the information used for learning, it is possible to prepare an interactive response device 2 that returns responses to inquiries with a certain degree of accuracy. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, a configuration in which the information presentation device 1 and the interactive response device 2 are connected via a network 5 can be considered as a single information presentation system 300.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the functions of the information presentation device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Each function of the information presentation device 1 according to this embodiment is realized by the CPU 11 of the information presentation device 1 shown in FIG. 1 executing a system program and controlling the operation of each part of the information presentation device 1.

The information presentation device 1 of this embodiment includes a machine-specific information receiving unit 100, a processing information receiving unit 110, a prompt creation unit 130, a transmission unit 140, a reception unit 150, a determination unit 160, and an output unit 190. The RAM 13 to non-volatile memory 14 of the information presentation device 1 also include a template storage unit 200, which is an area for pre-storing templates related to prompts, and a configuration information storage unit 210, which pre-stores configuration information that associates machine-specific information with the mechanical configuration of the industrial machine identified by the machine-specific information and the configuration of the control device.

The machine-specific information receiving unit 100 receives machine-specific information that uniquely identifies the industrial machine 4 and control device 3 that are the target of a service-related inquiry. The machine-specific information may be any information that can identify the industrial machine 4 and control device 3 used by the user. For example, it may be a number that combines an MTB (Machine Tool Builder) number that uniquely identifies the manufacturer that manufactured the industrial machine 4, a machine user number that uniquely identifies the user using the industrial machine, a serial number, etc. The machine-specific information may be composed of two pieces of information that can identify the industrial machine 4 and control device 3, respectively. Furthermore, if the industrial machine 4 and control device 3 are integrated, it may be composed of one piece of information that identifies the combination of the industrial machine 4 and control device 3. The machine-specific information receiving unit 100 may display a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for inputting machine-specific information on the display device 70, and may accept direct input of machine-specific information from the user using the input device 71 via the GUI. Alternatively, the input of machine-specific information may be accepted indirectly by displaying a list of the industrial machines 4 and control devices 3 to be managed and allowing the user to select and input. Furthermore, the input of machine-specific information may be accepted by reading one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcodes affixed to or engraved on the industrial machines 4 and control devices 3 using a barcode reader or imaging device (not shown). The machine-specific information accepting unit 100 outputs the accepted machine-specific information to the prompt creating unit 130.

The machining information receiving unit 110 receives machining information that includes at least information indicating the desired machining shape to be machined. The machining information may be information indicating the machining shape input as text, such as eccentric shaft machining, scroll compressor, or inclined surface drilling. The machining information may also be information indicating the machining shape input as audio. Furthermore, for example, CAD data created by CAD, images of products machined by other industrial machinery, or images of hand-drawn drawings may be used as information indicating the machining shape. While it is generally difficult to verbalize the desired machining shape, it is possible to express the machining shape using drawings or images. The machining information receiving unit 110 may display a GUI for inputting machine-specific information on the display device 70 and receive input of the machining shape from the user using the input device 71 via the GUI. Alternatively, the user may be allowed to select and input CAD data or image data indicating the machining shape. The machining information receiving unit 110 outputs the received machining information to the prompt creation unit 130.

The prompt creation unit 130 creates a prompt that can be input to the interactive response device 2 based on the machine-specific information received by the machine-specific information receiving unit 100 and the processing information received by the processing information receiving unit 110. The prompt creation unit 130 may assign prompt identification information that allows the created prompt to be uniquely identified. The prompt creation unit 130 may create a prompt by applying configuration information and processing information identified based on the machine-specific information to a prompt template corresponding to the inquiry information, for example.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of multiple templates stored in the template storage unit 200. In the example of FIG. 3, the template storage unit 200 stores multiple templates 1, 2, .... Each template corresponds to a type of processing information. The prompt creation unit 130 selects a template stored in the template storage unit 200 according to the type of processing information acquired by the processing information receiving unit 110. Then, it creates a prompt using the selected template.

When creating a prompt, the prompt creation unit 130 refers to the configuration information storage unit 210 to obtain the configuration information of the industrial machine 4 and control device 3 identified by the machine-specific information. Figure 4 is an example of configuration information stored in the configuration information storage unit 210. The configuration information associates the machine configuration of the industrial machine 4 identified by the machine-specific information and the configuration of the control device 3 with the machine-specific information. The configuration of the control device 3 may include the model number of the control device 3, the names of services already provided by the control device 3, and the drawing number. The mechanical configuration of the industrial machine 4 may include information such as the model number of the industrial machine 4, the number of control axes, the number of control systems, and the axis configuration of the industrial machine 4. In the example of Figure 4, the model number of the industrial machine with machine-specific information "01-00123-01" is "FANUC aaaa aaaa," the number of control axes is "3," the number of control systems is "1," and the axis configuration is "XZC." The model number of the control device is "FANUC Series yyyy yyyy," and currently provided services include a machine control type designation function (drawing number S838#T), a polar coordinate interpolation function (drawing number J815), and an eccentric turning function (drawing number R082). The model number of the industrial machine with machine-specific information "01-00123-02" is "FANUC bbbb bbbb," with the number of controlled axes being "5," the number of controlled systems being "1," and the axis configuration being "XYZBC." The model number of the control device is "FANUC Series zzzz zzzz," and currently provided services include a machine control type designation function (drawing number S838#M), a cylindrical interpolation function (drawing number J816), and an inclined surface indexing command (drawing number R522). The prompt creation unit 130 references this configuration information when creating a prompt.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a template. In the example of FIG. 5, the template includes information keys for embedding specified information in specified positions in the prompt text. The prompt creation unit 130 creates a prompt by embedding corresponding information in the position of each information key. In the example of FIG. 5, the model number of the industrial machine that is the subject of the query is embedded in the position of the information key "MACHINE_MODEL_NUM". Furthermore, the model number of the control device that is the subject of the query is embedded in the position of the information key "CONTROLLER_MODEL_NUM". Furthermore, a character string indicating the machining shape is embedded in the position of "MACHINING_SHAPE".

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing another example of a template. The example in Figure 6 is a template used when the machining shape included in the machining information is represented by an image file. The prompt creation unit 130 embeds the model number of the industrial machine being queried at the position of the information key "MACHINE_MODEL_NUM". Also, it embeds the model number of the control device being queried at the position of the information key "CONTROLLER_MODEL_NUM". Furthermore, it attaches image data showing the machining shape at the position of "ATTACH_SHAPE_PIC".

Figures 7 and 8 are schematic diagrams showing examples of prompts created based on a template. The prompt in Figure 7 is used to inquire about the services required to perform eccentric shaft machining for the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-01." This prompt is created by embedding the user's desired machining shape, "eccentric shaft machining," and the model number of the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-01," in the template shown in Figure 5, with reference to the configuration information shown in Figure 4.

Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing another example of a prompt created based on a template. The prompt in Figure 8 is used to inquire about the services required to machine the shape shown in a specified image (a capture of the eccentric shaft shape) when using an industrial machine 4 and control device 3 identified by the machine-specific information "01-00123-02." This prompt is created by attaching image data showing the user's desired machining shape to the template shown in Figure 6, and further embedding the model number of the industrial machine and control device corresponding to the machine-specific information "01-00123-02" by referencing the configuration information shown in Figure 4.

Such templates are created in advance to match the format of inquiries to the interactive response device 2. For example, if the interactive response device 2 responds to inquiries in the form of a list of items, it is desirable that the template be for creating a prompt that lists each of the items. Also, if the interactive response device 2 responds to inquiries in the form of natural language, it is desirable that the template be for creating a prompt in the form of natural sentences. It is desirable that each template be created so that it includes information that can be used as a reference when creating responses to anticipated inquiries about services.

The transmission unit 140 transmits each of the prompts created by the prompt creation unit 130 to the interactive response device 2. Upon receiving a prompt from the transmission unit 140, the interactive response device 2 generates a response to the received prompt. The generated response is then transmitted to the information presentation device 1.

The receiving unit 150 receives the response sent from the interactive response device 2. This response includes service identification information generated by the interactive response device 2 that identifies the service required to process the specified machining shape. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a response from the interactive response device 2. The service identification information may include, for example, the name of the service, the service drawing number, the application conditions of the service, and recommended services that are recommended to be used in conjunction with the service. In the example of service identification information in Figure 9, an "eccentric turning function" is indicated as a service required to perform eccentric shaft machining, and the drawing number and application conditions of the eccentric turning function are included in the service identification information. The receiving unit 150 outputs the received response to the determining unit 160.

The judgment unit 160 acquires configuration information, including the mechanical configuration and control device configuration of the industrial machine identified by the machine-specific information, from the configuration information storage unit 210. Then, based on the acquired configuration information and the service identification information included in the response received by the receiving unit 150, it determines whether the service is available. The judgment unit 160 extracts service identification information from the response, for example, using known natural language processing or pattern matching techniques. Then, it compares the extracted service identification information with configuration information, including the mechanical configuration and control device configuration of the industrial machine identified by the machine-specific information, and determines whether the service is available based on the results. For example, consider a case where, with the configuration information of Figure 4 stored, an inquiry is made to the interactive response device 2 as to whether "eccentric shaft machining" can be performed on the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "0100123-01." At this time, it is assumed that the response illustrated in Figure 9 is received from the interactive response device 2 in response to the prompt illustrated in Figure 7. In this case, the control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-01" already provides the eccentric turning function, so the judgment unit 160 determines that the service is available. Meanwhile, consider a case where an inquiry is made to the interactive response device 2 about whether "eccentric shaft machining" can be performed on the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-02." Similarly, assume that the response shown in FIG. 9 is received. In this case, the control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-02" does not provide the eccentric turning function. Therefore, the judgment unit 160 determines that the service is unavailable. The judgment unit 160 outputs the result of this judgment to the output unit 190.

The output unit 190 outputs the result of the determination made by the determination unit 160. The output unit 190 may be configured to display the output on the display device 70. Alternatively, the output may be configured to display the output on a display device (not shown) provided in the control device 3 via the network 5. Furthermore, the output may be transmitted via the network 5 to other computers such as the fog computer 6 or cloud server 7.

If the determination unit 160 determines that a service is unavailable, the output unit 190 may output the determination result together with information about the required service and application conditions contained in the service specification information received by the receiving unit 150.

The information presentation device 1 of this embodiment, which has the above-mentioned configuration, allows users of industrial machinery and control devices to instantly determine whether the services required for the desired processing are available for their industrial machinery and its control devices, and if not, whether their industrial machinery and its control devices meet the conditions for service application.

Second Embodiment
An information display device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below. The information display device 1 according to this embodiment has the same hardware configuration as the information display device 1 according to the first embodiment.

Similar to the information presentation device 1 of the first embodiment, the information presentation device 1 of this embodiment includes a machine-specific information receiving unit 100, a processing information receiving unit 110, a prompt creation unit 130, a transmission unit 140, a reception unit 150, a determination unit 160, and an output unit 190. The RAM 13 to non-volatile memory 14 of the information presentation device 1 also include a template storage unit 200, which is an area that pre-stores templates related to prompts, and a configuration information storage unit 210 that pre-stores configuration information that associates machine-specific information with the mechanical configuration of the industrial machine identified by the machine-specific information and the configuration of the control device.

The machine-specific information receiving unit 100, processing information receiving unit 110, prompt creating unit 130, transmitting unit 140, and receiving unit 150 provided in the information presentation device 1 according to this embodiment have the same functions as those in the first embodiment.

In the same way as the judgment unit 160 in the first embodiment, the judgment unit 160 in this embodiment determines whether the service is available based on the acquired configuration information and the service-specific information included in the response received by the receiving unit 150. If it determines that the service is unavailable, it again refers to the configuration information storage unit 210 to search for industrial machines and control devices that provide the service. For example, when the configuration information in Figure 4 is stored and an inquiry is made as to whether "eccentric shaft machining" can be performed on the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-02," the judgment result is that "eccentric shaft machining" is not possible because the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-02" do not provide the "eccentric turning function." In such a case, the judgment unit 160 further searches the configuration information storage unit 210 for industrial machines and control devices that provide "eccentric turning." It is then determined that the industrial machine and control device with machine-specific information "01-00123-01" provide the "eccentric turning function." The determination unit 160 outputs the result of the determination and the search results from the configuration information storage unit 210 to the output unit 190.

In this embodiment, the output unit 190 outputs the result of the determination made by the determination unit 160. If the determination unit 160 determines that the service is unavailable, the output unit 190 displays the determination result together with the machine-specific information of the industrial machines and control devices for which the service is available.

The information display device 1 of this embodiment, which has the above configuration, provides information on industrial machines and control devices owned by users that can use the service, even if the industrial machines and control devices they inquire about cannot perform the desired processing, allowing the user to immediately identify the industrial machines and control devices that are appropriate for performing the desired processing.

[Third embodiment]
An information display device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below. The information display device 1 according to this embodiment has the same hardware configuration as the information display device 1 according to the first embodiment.

Similar to the information presentation device 1 of the first embodiment, the information presentation device 1 of this embodiment includes a machine-specific information receiving unit 100, a processing information receiving unit 110, a prompt creation unit 130, a transmission unit 140, a reception unit 150, a determination unit 160, and an output unit 190. The RAM 13 to non-volatile memory 14 of the information presentation device 1 also include a template storage unit 200, which is an area that pre-stores templates related to prompts, and a configuration information storage unit 210 that pre-stores configuration information that associates machine-specific information with the mechanical configuration of the industrial machine identified by the machine-specific information and the configuration of the control device.

The machine-specific information receiving unit 100, processing information receiving unit 110, prompt creating unit 130, transmitting unit 140, and receiving unit 150 provided in the information presentation device 1 according to this embodiment have the same functions as those in the first embodiment.

Similar to the determination unit 160 in the first embodiment, the determination unit 160 in this embodiment determines whether the service is available based on the acquired configuration information and the service specification information included in the response received by the receiving unit 150. Furthermore, if the service specification information includes a service that is recommended for use in combination, the determination unit 160 determines whether the service that is recommended for use in combination is also available. The determination result is then output to the output unit 190.

In this embodiment, the output unit 190 outputs the result of the determination made by the determination unit 160. In addition to determining whether a service is available, if there is a service that is recommended for use in combination, the output unit 190 also displays whether the recommended service is available for use in combination.

For example, consider a case where the configuration information illustrated in FIG. 10 is stored in the configuration information storage unit 210. At this time, suppose a user inquires whether "threading of pilot holes drilled in inclined surfaces" can be performed using an industrial machine and control device identified by the machine-specific information "01-00123-04." Then, suppose a response illustrated in FIG. 11 is received from the interactive response device 2. In this case, the control device identified by the machine-specific information "01-00123-04" provides both the rigid tapping function (J828) and the inclined surface indexing command function (R522). Therefore, the judgment unit 160 determines that "threading of pilot holes drilled in inclined surfaces" can be performed using this industrial machine and control device. Furthermore, the service identification information includes information on recommended services to be used in conjunction with each service. It is recommended that the rigid tapping function (J828) be used in conjunction with the smart rigid tapping (J890) service. Additionally, the inclined surface indexing command function (R522) recommends the use of the workpiece placement error compensation function (S993) in conjunction with the service. Because these recommended functions are not provided by the control device identified by the machine-specific information "01-00123-04," the judgment unit 160 instructs the output unit 190 to output these recommended functions to the user as well. The output unit 190 then outputs these recommended services in addition to the fact that "threading of pilot holes drilled in an inclined surface" is available.

The information display device 1 of this embodiment, which has the above-mentioned configuration, allows users of industrial machinery and control devices to instantly determine whether the services required for the desired processing are available for their industrial machinery and control devices, as well as whether services that are recommended for use in conjunction with the devices are available.

[Other embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the information presentation device 1 is shown to have a configuration including the configuration information storage unit 210. However, the configuration information storage unit 210 may be provided on another device, such as the fog computer 6 or the cloud server 7. In this case, the information presentation device refers to the configuration information storage unit 210 via the network 5. With such a configuration, it becomes possible to collectively manage configuration information at a manufacturing site where many industrial machines 4 and control devices 3 are installed.

Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above, the present disclosure is not limited to the individual embodiments described above. Various additions, substitutions, modifications, partial deletions, etc. are possible to these embodiments without departing from the gist of the invention, or without departing from the idea and intent of the present disclosure as derived from the content of the claims and their equivalents.
