Abstract
An alert notification device of a dental processing machine includes a receiver, a first extractor, and a notifier. The receiver receives error information from the dental processing machine. The first extractor extracts from the error information received by the receiver, as first extracted error information, error information that occurred in a predetermined first time. The notifier notifies a management device to be used by a maintenance company to perform maintenance of the dental processing machine, of an alert concerning the first extracted error information.
Claims12
An alert notification system comprising:
- a dental processing machine;
- a management device configured or programmed to be used by a maintenance company to perform maintenance of the dental processing machine;
- and
- an alert notification device including:
- a receiver configured or programmed to receive error information from the dental processing machine;
- a first extractor configured or programmed to extract from the error information received by the receiver, as first extracted error information, error information that occurred in a predetermined first time;
- and
- a notifier configured or programmed to notify the management device of an alert concerning the first extracted error information, the management device being usable by the maintenance company to perform maintenance of the dental processing machine, wherein
- the error information includes an error ID and a device ID;
- the error ID uniquely specifies a type of an error;
- the device ID is an ID uniquely assigned to the dental processing machine;
- the notifier is configured or programmed to notify an email address previously set in the management device of the alert by an email;
- the dental processing machine includes a controller including a dental transmitter configured or programmed to transmit the error information to the alert notification device;
- the first time is a time period from a current time to a previous time and is set by the maintenance company as a time period to determine whether an error occurred in the dental processing machine;
- the dental processing machine includes a spindle configured to cause a processing tool to process a processing target by rotating upon a flow of a current;
- the dental transmitter is configured or programmed to transmit a spindle current value of the current flowing in the spindle to the alert notification device;
- the receiver of the alert notification device is configured or programmed to receive the spindle current value;
- the alert notification device includes a current value determiner configured or programmed to determine whether the spindle current value received by the receiver is larger than a predetermined threshold or not;
- and
- if the current value determiner determines that the spindle current value is larger than the predetermined threshold, the notifier of the alert notification device is configured or programmed to issue an alert concerning the spindle.
