INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056098 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that is used in the manufacturing process of molded products. It includes several units and a calculation unit to calculate a difference between processing parameter maps.

  • The information processing apparatus acquires shape data of a mold used for forming a molded product.
  • It also acquires the mold release direction, which is the direction in which the molded product is separated from the mold.
  • The apparatus acquires a processing parameter, which is a parameter used for processing the surface of the mold.
  • Based on the shape data, mold release direction, and processing parameter, the calculation unit calculates the difference between multiple processing parameter maps.
  • The notification unit then notifies information about the difference to the user.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Manufacturing industry: This technology can be used in various manufacturing industries that involve molding processes, such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. It can help optimize the processing parameters for molds, leading to improved product quality and efficiency.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Optimization of processing parameters: By calculating the difference between processing parameter maps, this technology helps identify areas on the mold's surface that require specific processing parameters. This allows for more precise and efficient processing, reducing defects and improving overall product quality.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved product quality: By optimizing the processing parameters based on the shape data and mold release direction, this technology can help reduce defects and improve the quality of molded products.
  • Increased efficiency: By identifying the areas on the mold's surface that require specific processing parameters, this technology can help streamline the manufacturing process and improve overall efficiency.
  • Cost savings: By reducing defects and improving efficiency, this technology can help reduce manufacturing costs and increase profitability.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes a shape data acquisition unit configured to acquire shape data indicating a three-dimensional shape of a mold for forming a molded product, a mold release direction acquisition unit configured to acquire a mold release direction in separating the molded product from the mold, a processing parameter acquisition unit configured to acquire a processing parameter for processing to be applied to a surface of the mold, a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the shape data, the mold release direction and the processing parameter, a difference between a plurality of processing parameter maps each indicating a correspondence between a position on the surface of the mold and the processing parameter, and a notification unit configured to notify information about the difference.
