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:

a document extracting device; and

a portable information terminal, whereby

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,

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 extracts the extraction target from the document information; and

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

wherein the extraction target identifier comprises;

a document information identifier that identifies a document associated with the serial information; and

an extracted portion identifier that identifies a portion of the identified document regarding the industrial machine that is associated with the serial information as an extraction target and

wherein the extractor extracts the extraction target from the document information and transmitting the extraction target to the portable information terminal.

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 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 serial information.

3. The display control system according to claim 1,

the document extracting device further comprises an error code obtainer that obtains an error code of the industrial machine, and

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 serial information and the obtained error code.

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

5. A display control method comprising:

obtaining identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine by a portable information terminal;

identifying, based on the obtained identification information, serial information which is assigned uniquely to the industrial machine by the portable information terminal;

transmitting the serial information to from the portable information terminal to a document extracting device;

identifying as an extraction target a portion of document information accumulated in advance, based on the serial information by the document extracting device;

extracting the extraction target from the piece of the document information by the document extracting device; and

displaying what is extracted by the portable information terminal,

wherein, in identifying the portion of document information;

identifying a document associated with the serial information; and

identifying a portion of the identified document regarding the industrial machine that is associated with the serial information as an extraction target; and

wherein, in extracting the extraction target, extracting the extraction target from the document information and transmitting the extraction target to the portable information terminal.

6. A document extracting device, comprising:

a serial information receiver that receives a serial information assigned to an industrial machine from a 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 extracts the extraction target from the document information,

wherein the extraction target identifier comprises;

a document information identifier that identifies a document associated with the serial information; and

an extracted portion identifier that identifies a portion of the identified document regarding the industrial machine that is associated with the serial information as an extraction target; and

wherein the extractor extracts the extraction target from the document information and transmitting the extraction target to the portable information terminal.

7. 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 an extraction target that is extracted by the document extracting device based on the serial information,

wherein the extraction target is a portion regarding the industrial machine that is associated with the serial information of a document associated with the serial information extracted from document information accumulated in advance by the document extracting device, and

wherein the extraction target is transmitted from the document extracting device.

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

a serial information receiver that receives a serial information assigned to an industrial machine from a 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 extracts the extraction target from the document information,

wherein the extraction target identifier comprises;

a document information identifier that identifies a document associated with the serial information; and

an extracted portion identifier that identifies a portion of the identified document regarding the industrial machine that is associated with the serial information as an extraction target; and

wherein the extractor extracts the extraction target from the document information and transmitting the extraction target to the portable information terminal.

9. 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 an extraction target that is extracted by the document extracting device based on the serial information,

wherein the extraction target is a portion regarding the industrial machine that is associated with the serial information of a document associated with the serial information extracted from document information accumulated in advance by the document extracting device, and

wherein the extraction target is transmitted from the document extracting device.
