Abstract

Provided is an analyzing device control system including an analyzing system and a control computer for controlling the analyzing device, the system having an improved visibility and operability of a user interface for remotely operating or monitoring the control computer from an external terminal through a data communication network. The control computer PC 1 includes: a size acquirer for obtaining the size of a display screen of an external terminal 4 connected to the control PC 1 via the Internet IN; a terminal-suited execution screen creator for creating data of a terminal-suited execution screen to be used for remotely operating the control PC 1 from the external terminal 4; a screen transmitter for sending the terminal-suited execution screen data to the external terminal 4; and a remote control executer for receiving information relating to an operation on the external terminal 4 and for performing the control of an analyzing device based on this information.

Claims

1. An analyzing device controlling system including a control computer having a controller for controlling an analyzing device and a system screen for showing an execution screen data of the controller, the control computer further comprising:

a) a size acquirer for acquiring, from a terminal screen of an external terminal connected through a data communication network, a size of the terminal screen;

b) a terminal-suited execution screen creator for creating a terminal-suited execution screen data suited for the size of the terminal screen;

c) a screen transmitter for transmitting the terminal-suited execution screen data through the data communication network to the external terminal; and

d) a remote control executer for making the controller perform a control of the analyzing device based on information concerning an operation on the external terminal received through the data communication network.

2. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the terminal-suited execution screen data is selected from a plurality of previously created screen templates.

3. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the terminal-suited execution screen data is created every time the control computer is connected to the external terminal.

4. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of different terminal-suited execution screen data are prepared for a same size of the terminal screen, and the terminal-suited execution screen data to be sent to the external terminal is switched in response to a switch request from the external terminal.

5. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the terminal-suited execution screen is provided with an input element for allowing users to enter a character or figure by selecting a choice item on the screen by a clicking or touching operation.

6. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the control computer further comprises a display changer for allowing users to change an arrangement of operation buttons and kinds of analysis-related information on the terminal-suited execution screen.

7. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein an operation of logging in to the analyzing device controlling system is required when an initial connection between the control computer and the external terminal is established.

8. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the connection between the control computer and the external terminal is achieved by means of a remote desktop function.

9. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the control computer is incorporated in the analyzing device.

10. The analyzing device controlling system according to claim 1, wherein the external terminal or a functional unit corresponding to the external terminal is built in or mounted on the analyzing device.
