Abstract

A viewer for analysis includes: a communication unit for receiving analysis results for each of a plurality of samples, the analysis results being different in type from each other and outputted from a plurality of types of analyzers; a display unit for displaying the analysis results received by the communication unit; a control unit for controlling the display unit; and a first selection means for selecting at least two or more display target samples from the plurality of samples. The display unit includes a display area for displaying the analysis results by the plurality of types of analyzers for each of the at least two or more display target samples; and a list display area for displaying at least two or more display areas in a list, the at least two or more display areas corresponding to the at least two or more display target samples.

Claims (46)

1 . A viewer for analysis, comprising:

a communication interface configured to receive analysis results for each of a plurality of samples, the analysis results being different in type from each other and outputted from a plurality of types of analyzers;

a display configured to display the analysis results received by the communication interface;

a controller configured to control the display; and

a first selection means configured to select at least two display target samples from the plurality of samples,

wherein a display screen of the display includes at least two display areas set corresponding to the at least two display target samples, respectively,

wherein the at least two display areas are displayed side by side in the display screen,

wherein each of the at least two display areas includes a first area that is configured to display the analysis results for a corresponding display target sample by the plurality of types of analyzers with switching the analyzer in accordance with a selection operation by a user in a display format according to the type of the analysis result,

wherein the first area of the each of the at least two display areas simultaneously display the analysis results for the corresponding display target sample of the same type of the analysis result,

wherein the display screen displays icons for accepting the selection operation for each display target sample,

wherein the icons are configured to display types of analyzers that are used for analysis of the at least two display target samples, and

wherein the controller is configured to switch the analyzer and display the analysis results in the first area common to the at least two display target samples upon receipt of the selection operation of the icon for one display target sample out of the at least two display target samples.

2 . The viewer for analysis as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to be capable of acquiring feature amounts and physical property values for each sample,

wherein the viewer for analysis further comprises a second selection means configured to select types of feature amounts and physical properties to be displayed, for the at least two display target samples selected by the first selection means; and

wherein each of the at least two display areas further includes a second area that is configured to display, for the corresponding display target sample, the feature amounts and the physical property values of the types selected by the second selection means.

3 . The viewer for analysis as recited in claim 2 ,

wherein the feature amounts include attribute values of the sample extracted from the analysis results for each sample, and

wherein the physical property values include attribute values of the sample acquired from information other than the analysis results for each sample.

4 . The viewer for analysis as recited in claim 2 ,

wherein the second selection means selects the types of the feature amounts and the physical property values common to the at least two display target samples.

5 . A display system comprising:

the plurality of types of analyzers configured to output a plurality of analysis results different in type from each other; and

the viewer for analysis as recited in claim 1 .

6 . A display method for displaying analysis results by a plurality of types of analyzers on a viewer for analysis, the analysis results being different in type from each other, the display method comprising:

a step of receiving analysis result by the plurality of types of analyzers for each of a plurality of samples; and

a step of displaying the received analysis results on a display screen of the viewer for analysis,

wherein the step of displaying the received analysis results includes:

a step of selecting at least two display target samples from the plurality of samples;

a step of displaying the analysis results by the plurality of types of analyzers in a display area of the display screen, for each of the at least two display target samples with switching the analyzer in accordance with a selection operation by a user in a display format according to the type of the analysis result; and

a step of displaying at least two display areas side by side in the display screen, the at least two display areas corresponding to the at least two display target samples,

wherein the step of displaying the at least two display areas side by side in the display screen includes simultaneously displaying the analysis results for the corresponding display target sample of the same type of the analysis result and

wherein the display method further comprises:

a step of displaying, in the display screen, icons for accepting the selection operation for each display target sample, wherein the icons are configured to display types of analyzers that are used for analysis of the at least two display target samples; and

a step of switching the analyzer and displaying the analysis results in a first area common to the at least two display target samples upon receipt of the selection operation of the icon for one display target sample out of the at least two display target samples.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a display program for displaying analysis results by a plurality of types of analyzers on a viewer for analysis, the analysis results being different in type from each other, the display program makes a computer execute:

a step of receiving analysis results by the plurality of types of analyzers, for each of a plurality of samples; and

a step of displaying the received analysis results on a display screen of the viewer for analysis,

wherein the step of displaying the received analysis results includes:

a step of selecting at least two display target samples from the plurality of samples;

a step of displaying analysis results by the plurality of types of analyzers in a display area of the display screen, for each of the at least two display target samples with switching the analyzer in accordance with a selection operation by a user in a display format according to the type of the analysis result; and

a step of displaying at least two display areas side by side in the display screen, the at least two display areas corresponding to the at least two display target samples,

wherein the step of displaying the at least two display areas side by side in the display screen includes simultaneously displaying the analysis results for the corresponding display target sample of the same type of the analysis result, and

wherein the display program further makes the computer execute;

a step of displaying, in the display screen, icons for accepting the selection operation for each display target sample wherein the icons are configured to display types of analyzers that are used for analysis of the at least two display target samples, and

a step of switching the analyzer and displaying the analysis results in a first area common to the at least two display target samples upon receipt of the selection operation of the icon for one display target sample out of the at least two display target samples.
