JPH05257554A - System for postponing end time of automatic operation - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To change the system end time only with user's operation by not only updating a file with a desired end time given by an extension request but also setting the desired end time to an automatic operation system at the time of the need for extension of automatic operation. CONSTITUTION:When operation is started, an end time control part utility 2 is started after the start of the automatic operation system, and the system end time for normal operation is registered in an end time management file 1, and an end time setting command to the automatic operation system 3 is issued by the end time. When the end time is to be postponed, the utility 2 is started by an end time extension request, and the desired end time is given as a parameter. The utility 2 compares the end time registered in the file 1 with the end time given as the parameter. If it is necessary to postpone the end time, the file 1 is updated with the end time given as the parameter, and the command is issued to the automatic operation system 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for extending the operation end time during automatic unmanned operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an operator or a user inputs a control command for an automatic operation system from a center console during manned operation to extend the end time of device operation during automatic operation.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional automatic operation end time extension method is a method that can be executed only by a person who knows the control command of the automatic operation system during manned operation of the system. Some have the drawback that they cannot be executed.

[0004]

According to the present invention, an automatic driving system for controlling the end time of automatic operation, a file for storing the operation end time, and an operation end time at the start of automatic operation are registered in the file. When it is necessary to extend the automatic driving when the automatic operation system is set and the end time extension request is received, the file is updated at the desired end time given by the end time extension request and the desired end time is updated. And a utility for setting the automatic driving system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is an end time management file, 2 is a utility for referring to, updating and issuing control commands for the end time management file, and 3 is an automatic operation system.

The operation of this embodiment is shown in FIG. The automatic operation system 3 is started by the start-up of the operation device, and the automatic operation system 3 controls the operation end of the device.

To start the operation, as shown in part A of FIG. 2, the utility 2 is started after the automatic operation system is started, the system end time at the time of normal operation is registered in the file 1, and at the same time, the automatic operation is started according to the end time. System 3
Issue the end time setting command for.

To extend the end time, as shown in part B in FIG. 2, the utility 2 is activated by the end time extension request, and the desired end time is given as a parameter. The utility 2 compares the end time registered in the end time management file 1 with the end time given as a parameter, and if it determines that time extension is required, the utility 2 uses the end time given as the parameter Updates and issues commands to the automatic driving system 3.

If it is judged that the time extension is unnecessary, the fact is displayed and the utility 2 ends without updating the end time management file 1 and issuing a command to the automatic driving system 3.

[0011]

As described above, the present invention has an effect that the system end time can be changed (extended) only by the operation of the user even during unmanned operation.
