Abstract

An identification information obtaining unit obtains identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine. An extraction target identifying unit identifies as an extraction target a portion of the document information accumulated in advance, based on the identification information. An extracting unit extracts the extraction target from the document information. A display unit displays what is extracted by the extracting unit.

Claims

1. A display control system, comprising:

an identification information obtainer that obtains identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine;

an extraction target identifier that identifies as an extraction target a portion of document information accumulated in advance, based on the identification information;

an extractor that extracts the extracting target from the document information; and

a display that displays what is extracted by the extractor.

2. The display control system according to claim 1, wherein the extraction target identifier identifies, as an extraction target, out of the document information, a portion that contains a description about software installed in the industrial machine that is associated with the identification information.

3. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the extraction target identifier comprises:

a document information identifier that identifies, based on the identification information, apiece of the document information that is a manual for the industrial machine associated with the identification information; and

an extracted portion identifier that identifies, as an extraction target, out of the identified piece of the document information that is the manual, a portion that contains a description about software installed in the industrial machine that is associated with the identification information.

4. The display control system according to claim 3, wherein the extracted portion identifier that identifies a function of the software installed in the industrial machine based on the identification information, and identifies as an extraction target a portion of the manual that contains a description about the function.

5. The display control system according to claim 1, wherein the extraction target identifier identifies, as an extraction target, out of the document information, a portion that is identified based on registration information, which is registered by a user of the industrial machine and which is stored in a storage in association of the identification information.

6. The display control system according to claim 1, further comprising:

an error code obtainer that obtains an error code of the industrial machine,

wherein the extraction target identifier identifies, as an extraction target, out of the document information, a portion that is identified based on a combination of the identification information and the obtained error code.

7. The display control system according to claim 1, wherein the identification information obtainer obtains the identification information which comprises serial information uniquely assigned to the industrial machine.

8. The display control system according to claim 1, wherein the identification information obtainer obtains the identification information in a form of an image.

9. A display control system, comprising:

a document extracting device; and

a portable information terminal, wherein

the portable information terminal comprises;

an identification information obtainer that obtains identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine;

a serial information identifier that identifies, based on the obtained identification information, serial information which is assigned uniquely to the industrial machine; and

a serial information transmitter that transmits the serial information to the document extracting device, and wherein

the document extracting device comprises;

a serial information receiver that receives the serial information from the portable information terminal;

an extraction target identifier that identifies as an extraction target a portion of document information accumulated in advance, based on the serial information; and

an extractor that identifies the extraction target from the document information and transmits the extraction target to the portable information terminal; and

wherein

the portable information terminal further comprises a display that displays what is extracted by the extractor.

10. A display control method comprising:

obtaining identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine;

identifying as an extraction target a portion of document information accumulated in advance, based on the identification information;

extracting the extracting target from the piece of the document information; and

displaying what is extracted.

11. A document extracting device, comprising:

an extraction target identifier that identifies, as an extraction target, in response to obtainment of identification information assigned to an industrial machine, a portion of document information accumulated in advance, based on the identification information; and

an extractor that extracts the extracting target from the document information.

12. A portable information terminal, comprising:

an identification information obtainer that obtains identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine;

a serial information identifier that identifies, based on the obtained identification information, serial information which is assigned uniquely to the industrial machine;

a serial information transmitter that transmits the serial information to a document extracting device; and

a display that displays a portion of document information accumulated in advance that is extracted by the document extracting device based on the serial information.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium having stored thereon a program, the program causing a computer to function as:

an extraction target identifier that identifies, as an extraction target, in response to obtainment of identification information assigned to an industrial machine, a portion of document information accumulated in advance, based on the identification information; and

an extractor that extracts the extracting target from the document information.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium having stored thereon a program, the program for causing a computer to function as a portable information terminal comprising a display, the program causing the computer to function as:

an identification information obtainer that obtains identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine;

a serial information identifier that identifies, based on the obtained identification information, serial information which is assigned uniquely to the industrial machine;

a serial information transmitter that transmits the serial information to a document extracting device; and

a display processor that displays on the display a portion of document information accumulated in advance that is extracted by the document extracting device based on the serial information.
