Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire process information indicating a plurality of processes of manufacturing a product by a worker using a device, acquire terminal information in which the worker in each of the plurality of processes is associated with a terminal carried by the worker, acquire at least one of a status indicating a state of any of a plurality of the devices or a status indicating a state of any of the plurality of processes, specify the worker who uses a device related to the acquired status by using the process information, and provide a notification of the acquired status to the terminal associated with the specified worker in the terminal information.

Claims (58)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

acquire process information indicating a plurality of processes of manufacturing a product by a worker using a device,

acquire terminal information in which the worker in each of the plurality of processes is associated with a terminal carried by the worker,

acquire at least one of a status indicating a state of any of a plurality of the devices or a status indicating a state of any of the plurality of processes,

specify the worker who uses a device related to the acquired status by using the process information, and

provide a notification of the acquired status to the terminal associated with the specified worker in the terminal information.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the process information includes schedule information indicating a schedule of any of the plurality of processes in which the worker performs work, and

wherein the processor is configured to specify the worker who uses the device related to the status currently or in the future by using the schedule information.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to not provide the notification to the terminal associated in the terminal information with a worker who does not use the device related to the status currently or in the future.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

acquire identification information of the device which is detected by the terminal and is used by the worker who carries the terminal, and

specify the worker who uses the device in a case where the device related to the status is the device indicated in the identification information.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to acquire the status of the device via a network in a case where the device is connected to the information processing apparatus via the network.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to acquire the status of the device via a network in a case where the device is connected to the information processing apparatus via the network.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to acquire the status of the device via a network in a case where the device is connected to the information processing apparatus via the network.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to acquire the status of the device via a network in a case where the device is connected to the information processing apparatus via the network.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide a notification of the acquired status to a terminal detected by the device.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide a notification of the acquired status to a terminal detected by the device.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide a notification of the acquired status to a terminal detected by the device.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to update the process information indicating the process in which the device is used according to a change in the device related to the acquired status.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide a notification of the status of the process to the worker in the process indicated by the updated process information.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide the notification in a mode according to a degree of the update of the process information.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide the notification in a mode according to a degree of importance of the product manufactured by using the device related to the status.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where there is no worker who uses the device related to the acquired status, provide the notification to all workers in a mode different from a case where the worker exists.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where a plurality of workers use the device related to the status, provide a notification that there is another worker who uses the device to each of the plurality of workers.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the terminal is a wearable terminal which is worn on a head of the worker.

19 . An information processing system comprising:

a terminal that includes a processor; and

an information processing apparatus that includes a processor,

wherein at least one of the processors is configured to

acquire process information indicating a plurality of processes of manufacturing a product by a worker using a device,

acquire terminal information in which the worker in each of the plurality of processes is associated with a terminal carried by the worker,

acquire at least one of a status indicating a state of any of a plurality of the devices or a status indicating a state of any of the plurality of processes,

specify the worker who uses a device related to the acquired status by using the process information, and

provide a notification of the acquired status to the terminal associated with the specified worker in the terminal information.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer having a processor to execute a process, the process comprising:

acquiring process information indicating a plurality of processes of manufacturing a product by a worker using a device, acquiring terminal information in which the worker in each of the plurality of processes is associated with a terminal carried by the worker,

acquiring at least one of a status indicating a state of any of a plurality of the devices or a status indicating a state of any of the plurality of processes,

specifying the worker who uses a device related to the acquired status by using the process information, and

providing a notification of the acquired status to the terminal associated with the specified worker in the terminal information.
