Abstract

A display device for an injection molding machine includes a display part capable of displaying a predetermined screen image and capable of displaying a candidate for a next screen image to transition to as a display candidate. The display device for the injection molding machine includes an operation information acquisition part configured to acquire, as operation information, operations performed related to a predetermined screen image being displayed, a totalizing part configured to totalize the operations related to the predetermined screen image being displayed on the basis of the acquired operation information, a display candidate determination part configured to determine the candidate for the screen image to be the display candidate on the basis of a totalized result, and a display control part configured to display not only the predetermined screen image but also the determined display candidate on the display part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device for an injection molding machine comprising a display part capable of displaying a predetermined screen image and capable of displaying a candidate for a next screen image to transition to as a display candidate, the display device for the injection molding machine comprising a processor and a memory, the processor configured to:
acquire, as operation information, operations performed related to a predetermined screen image being displayed;
totalize the operations related to the predetermined screen image being displayed on the basis of the acquired operation information;
perform weighting, with respect to the totalized acquired operation information, based on a predetermined coefficient;
determine the candidate for the screen image to be the display candidate on the basis of the weighting; and
display not only the predetermined screen image but also the determined display candidate based on one or more of the totalizing and the weighting.

2. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the processor
totalizes the operations related to the predetermined screen image being displayed on the basis of at least one of a number of times of the input operations related to the predetermined screen image, a number of times of the input operations related to the predetermined screen image per a fixed time, a display time of the predetermined screen image, and a number of times of display of the predetermined screen image within a predetermined time, as the operation information.

3. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the processor
performs the weighting with respect to the respective numbers of times and the display time included in the operation information, and further totalizes the operations related to the predetermined screen image being displayed on the basis of a result of the weighting.

4. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the processor
totalizes the operations related to the predetermined screen image being displayed on the basis of the predetermined screen image and a number of times of a combination of the next screen image transitioned to and the original predetermined screen image, as the operation information.

5. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to
acquire an operation state of the injection molding machine, and
determine the candidate for the screen image to be the display candidate on the basis of the acquired operation state.

6. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
identify an operator operating the injection molding machine, and
determine a display candidate for each operator identified by the identification part.

7. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the determined display candidates are displayed in a list form or in a strip form.

8. The display device for the injection molding machine according to claim 1 , wherein the processor
determines a next transition destination on the basis of the totalized result and a history of totalized results, and further determines the candidate for the screen image to be the determined transition destination as the display candidate.
