Information processing device and system displaying information in time-series order on chips in regions of image captured inside machine tool

An information processing device, comprising:

• a mesh division unit that divides at least part of first and second images captured at different times of a target area for detecting chips generated from a workpiece, into a plurality of mesh regions, the images each being an inside image of a machine tool;
• and
• an information processing unit that performs processing to associate (a) information on a first chip corresponding to a specific mesh region among the plurality of the mesh regions corresponding to the first image, (b) information on a second chip corresponding to the specific mesh region among the plurality of the mesh regions corresponding to the second image, (c) a first time related to the first image, and (d) a second time related to the second image;
• the information processing device including a display unit that displays a predetermined image, wherein
• the information on chips includes a determined value related to an amount of accumulated chips in a mesh region group composed of a plurality of the mesh regions associated with time, and
• the display unit displays, in time-series order, the determined value corresponding to the mesh region group.

An information processing system, comprising:

• a liquid ejection unit that ejects a liquid so as to move chips generated from a workpiece;
• an imaging unit that captures an image inside a machine tool, including a region where the workpiece is machined;
• a display unit that displays an inside image captured by the imaging unit;
• and
• a detection unit that detects an input signal directed to a predetermined position in the inside image displayed on the display unit, wherein
• the display unit displays, in time-series order, information on chips in a corresponding mesh region corresponding to the predetermined position among a plurality of mesh regions formed by dividing the inside image in predetermined sizes, based on the input signal.
