Machine tool, input assistance method for machine tool, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A machine tool comprising:

• a display configured to display:
• a plurality of steps simultaneously on a display screen in which setting-information based on which the machine tool is configured to be controlled to machine a workpiece so as to make a product is input;
• and
• a setting interface on the display screen via which a selected information corresponding to a setting step is to be input, the setting step being selected from the plurality of steps;
• a processor configured to determine whether inputting the selected information has been completed;
• the display being configured to display step status information on the display screen with the display of the plurality of steps, the step status information indicating that inputting the selected information has been completed when inputting the selected information is determined to have been completed;
• and
• the display being configured to display graphical user interface parts arranged at respective locations on the display screen with the step status information and the plurality of steps, the respective locations being substantially fixed regardless of which of the plurality of steps is selected as the setting step, the graphical user interface parts selectively representing a call interface via which the setting interface is called without representing a call interface via which another setting interface than the setting interface is called, another selected information corresponding to another step than the setting step being set via the another setting interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute processing comprising:

• displaying a plurality of steps simultaneously on a display screen in which setting-information based on which a machine tool is configured to be controlled to machine a workpiece so as to make a product is input;
• selecting, among the plurality of steps, a setting step in which a selected information is to be input, the selected information of the plurality of steps constituting the setting-information;
• displaying a setting interface on the display screen via which the selected information is input;
• determining whether inputting the selected information has been completed;
• displaying step status information on the display screen with the display of the plurality of steps, the step status information indicating that inputting the selected information has been completed when inputting the selected information is determined to have been completed;
• and
• displaying graphical user interface parts arranged at respective locations on the display screen with the step status information and the plurality of steps, the respective locations being substantially fixed regardless of which of the plurality of steps is selected as the setting step, the graphical user interface parts selectively representing a call interface via which the setting interface is called without representing a call interface via which another setting interface than the setting interface is called, another selected information corresponding to another step than the setting step being set via the another setting interface.

An input assistance method for a machine tool, the method comprising:

• displaying a plurality of steps simultaneously on a display screen in which setting-information based on which the machine tool is configured to be controlled to machine a workpiece so as to make a product is input;
• selecting, among the plurality of steps, a setting step in which a selected information is to be input, the selected information of the plurality of steps constituting the setting-information;
• displaying a setting interface on the display screen via which the selected information is input;
• determining whether inputting the selected information has been completed;
• displaying step status information on the display screen with the display of the plurality of steps, the step status information indicating that inputting the selected information has been completed when inputting the selected information is determined to have been completed;
• and
• displaying graphical user interface parts arranged at respective locations on the display screen with the step status information and the plurality of steps, the respective locations being substantially fixed regardless of which of the plurality of steps is selected as the setting step, the graphical user interface parts selectively representing a call interface via which the setting interface is called without representing a call interface via which another setting interface than the setting interface is called, another selected information corresponding to another step than the setting step being set via the another setting interface.
