Information management system, server, information management method, and storage medium

A server connected to one or a plurality of first terminals via a network, for classifying and storing various types of machining technology information of a machine tool, wherein the server

• discloses a first information classified as a machining result of the machining technology information;
• accepts, from each of the first terminals, a request for the disclosed first information;
• and
• provides each of the first terminals with a second information classified as a machining condition of the machining technology information in response to the accepted request, the second information being associated with the first information,
• at least one of the first user terminals controls a machining tool in accordance with the second information, and
• the machining technology information includes the number of requests accepted by the server.

An information management method executed in an information management system including a server for classifying and storing various types of machining technology information of a machine tool and one or a plurality of first terminals connected to the server via a network, wherein the server executes:

• information disclosure for disclosing a first information classified as machining result of the machining technology information;
• request acceptance for accepting from each of the first terminals a request for the first information disclosed in the information disclosure;
• and
• second information provision for providing each of the first terminals with a second information classified as a machining condition of the machining technology information in response to the request accepted in the request acceptance, the second information being associated with the first information,
• each of the first terminals executes:
• request transmission for transmitting the request for the first information disclosed in the information disclosure;
• second information acquisition for acquiring the second information provided in the second information provision in response to the request, the second information being associated with the first information;
• and
• machining tool control for controlling a machining tool in accordance with the second information, and
• the machining technology information includes the number of requests accepted by the server.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for a computer including a server connected to one or a plurality of first terminals via a network, the server classifying and storing various types of machining technology information of a machine tool, the program making the computer achieve:

• an information disclosure function for disclosing a first information classified as a machining result of the machining technology information;
• a request acceptance function for accepting from each of the first terminals a request for the first information disclosed by the information disclosure function;
• and
• a second information provision function for providing each of the first terminals with a second information classified as a machining condition of the machining technology information in response to the request accepted by the request acceptance function, the second information being associated with the first information, wherein
• at least one of the first user terminals controls a machining tool in accordance with the second information, and
• the machining technology information includes the number of requests accepted by the server.
