Electric tool system, management system, management method, and non-transitory storage medium
View Patent ↗An electric tool system includes an electric tool and a management system. The electric tool includes a first communications unit that establishes wireless communication. The electric tool is used to do work on a work target. The management system includes a second communications unit that communicates wirelessly with the first communications unit of the electric tool. The management system makes the second communications unit transmit, during a single communication session with the first communications unit, setting information about multiple tasks of the work to the first communications unit.
1. An electric tool system comprising:
an electric tool including a first communications unit configured to establish wireless communication, the electric tool being used to do work on a work target; and
a management system including a second communications unit configured to communicate wirelessly with the first communications unit of the electric tool, wherein:
the management system is configured to make the second communications unit transmit, during a single communication session with the first communications unit, setting information about multiple tasks of the work to the first communications unit,
the setting information includes multiple pieces of work-by-work information respectively corresponding to the multiple tasks of the work,
each of the multiple pieces of work-by-work information includes information about specific details of a corresponding task of the multiple tasks of the work, and
the electric tool is configured to perform the multiple tasks of the work based on the setting information.
2. The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the work includes batch work requiring unitary work having predetermined specific details to be performed continuously multiple times, and
the setting information includes: batch work information about the specific details of the unitary work; and number of times information about the number of times the unitary work is required to be performed continuously.
3. The electric tool system of claim 2 , wherein
the management system is configured to make the second communications unit transmit the setting information every time the work is done using the electric tool.
4. The electric tool system of claim 2 , wherein
the electric tool is configured to, every time the electric tool has done a single task of the work on the work target, make the first communications unit transmit work information, indicating that the single task of the work has been done, to the second communications unit.
5. The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the management system is configured to make the second communications unit transmit the setting information every time the work is done using the electric tool.
6. The electric tool system of claim 5 , wherein
the setting information includes: a first piece of setting information going to be transmitted by the management system during a current communication session; and a second piece of setting information to be transmitted by the management system during a next communication session, and
the management system is configured to make the second communications unit transmit, during the current communication session, transmission data including the first piece of setting information and at least a part of the second piece of setting information.
7. The electric tool system of claim 6 , wherein
the electric tool is configured to, every time the electric tool has done a single task of the work on the work target, make the first communications unit transmit work information, indicating that the single task of the work has been done, to the second communications unit.
8. The electric tool system of claim 5 , wherein
the electric tool is configured to, every time the electric tool has done a single task of the work on the work target, make the first communications unit transmit work information, indicating that the single task of the work has been done, to the second communications unit.
9. The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein
the electric tool is configured to, every time the electric tool has done a single task of the work on the work target, make the first communications unit transmit work information, indicating that the single task of the work has been done, to the second communications unit.
10. The electric tool system of claim 1 , wherein:
the multiple tasks of the work include a first process performed under first setting information and a second process performed under second setting information different from the first setting information,
the setting information includes the first setting information and the second setting information, both transmitted during the single communication session,
the electric tool is configured to perform the first process and the second process based on the first setting information and the second setting information, respectively, and
the first communications unit of the electric tool receives no setting information between performing the first process and performing the second process.
11. A management system comprising:
a communications unit configured to communicate wirelessly with a communications unit included in an electric tool, the electric tool being used to do work on a work target; and
a control unit configured to make the communications unit of the management system transmit, during a single communication session with the communications unit of the electric tool, setting information about multiple tasks of the work, wherein:
the setting information includes multiple pieces of work-by-work information respectively corresponding to the multiple tasks of the work,
each of the multiple pieces of work-by-work information includes information about specific details of a corresponding task of the multiple tasks of the work, and
the electric tool is configured to perform the multiple tasks of the work based on the setting information.
12. A management method for managing work to be done on a work target by an electric tool, the electric tool including a communications unit configured to establish wireless communication, the management method including:
establishing the wireless communication with the communications unit, wherein:
the wireless communication includes transmitting, during a single communication session with the communications unit, setting information about multiple tasks of the work to the communications unit,
the setting information includes multiple pieces of work-by-work information respectively corresponding to the multiple tasks of the work,
each of the multiple pieces of work-by-work information includes information about specific details of a corresponding task of the multiple tasks of the work, and
the electric tool is configured to perform the multiple tasks of the work based on the setting information.
13. A non-transitory storage medium storing thereon a program, the program being designed to cause a computer system to perform the management method of claim 8 .
