`
`Listing of Claims
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A setting support system for setting an operational parameter that
`
`stipulates an operation of mounting an electronic component onto a substrate by a component
`
`mounting apparatus, wherein the component mounting apparatus is configured to unload an th_e
`
`electronic component from a component supply unit including a tape feeder that supplies a
`
`carrier tape holding the electronic component and to transfer the electronic component to a th_e
`
`substrate for mounting the electronic component to the substrate, the setting support system
`
`comprising:
`
`a controller of the component mounting apparatus that includes an input unit into which a
`
`setting value of a component parameter that includes at least one of component information
`
`relating to the electronic component and tape information relating to the carrier tape, and a
`
`setting value of an operational parameter relating to anth_e operation of mounting the electronic
`
`component onto the substrate by the component mounting apparatus, which is linked to the
`
`component parameter, are input;
`
`a storage configured to store a correlation table linking the component parameter to the
`
`operational parameter; and
`
`a creation processor that creates a rule table from the setting value of the component
`
`parameter and the setting value of the operational parameter which are input into to the input
`
`unit, and from the correlation table that is stored in the storage;
`
`wherein the component mounting apparatus is configured to perform anth_e operation of
`
`mounting an electronic component onto a substrate by the component mounting apparatus based
`
`on the rule table created by the creation processor;
`
`wherein the component information is information regarding polarity of the electronic
`
`component, a polarity mark, a mark position, a component type, and price.

`
`2. (Currently Amended) The setting support system of claim 1,
`
`wherein the component parameter is a parameter that has no direct relationship to the
`
`operation of mounting an electronic component onto a substrate by the component mounting
`
`apparatus.
`
`3. (Previously presented) The setting support system of claim 1, further comprising:
`
`the controller of the component mounting apparatus includes a setting unit that sets the
`
`setting value of the operational parameter which is linked to the setting value of the component
`
`parameter that is input into the input unit; and
`
`a display unit that displays the operational parameter,
`
`wherein the setting unit sets the setting value of the operational parameter that is linked to
`
`the component parameter, based on the component parameter that is input into the input unit and
`
`the created rule table, and
`
`wherein the display unit displays the setting value of the operational parameter that is set
`
`by the setting unit.
`
`4. (Original) The setting support system of claim 1,
`
`wherein the component mounting apparatus further includes a mounting head including a
`
`suction nozzle configure to unload the electronic component from the carrier tape,
`
`wherein the component information is price information of the electronic component,
`
`wherein the carrier tape includes a joint portion that joins the carrier tape to another
`
`carrier tape, and
`
`wherein the operational parameter includes a value of at least one of the number of times
`
`that a suction operation by the suction nozzle or a recognition operation of the electronic
`
`component is re-performed, an operation setting for re-performing the suction operation by the
`
`suction nozzle or the recognition operation, and a feeding operation setting which relates to an
`
`operation when the joint portion is fed.

`
`5. (Original) The setting support system of claim 1,
`
`wherein the tape information includes at least one among a tape width of the carrier tape,
`
`a feeding interval of the carrier tape, and color or material information related to characteristics
`
`in image recognition of the carrier tape,
`
`wherein the component mounting apparatus includes a mounting head including a suction
`
`nozzle configure to unload the electronic component from the carrier tape,
`
`wherein the carrier tape includes a pocket accommodating the electronic component
`
`therein and a cover tape that covers the pocket, and
`
`wherein the operational parameter includes a value of at least one of automatic teaching
`
`use setting that stipulates presence or absence of performing of automatic teaching that
`
`automatically sets a position of suction of the electronic component by the suction nozzle, using
`
`image recognition, an automatic teaching performing timing setting that sets a timing at which
`
`the automatic teaching is performed, a feeding speed setting that sets a feeding speed of the
`
`carrier tape, and a carrier tape in-advance feeding setting that, in advance, feeds, to a component
`
`unloading position, the pocket after the cover tape is removed from the carrier tape.
`
`6. (Previously presented) The setting support system of claim 3,
`
`wherein the rule table links each of one or more setting values of the component
`
`parameter to respective one of one or more setting values of the operational parameter, and
`
`wherein the setting unit of the controller sets, based on the rule table, a setting value out
`
`of the one or more setting values of the component parameter which is set most frequently, and a
`
`setting value out of the one or more setting values of the operational parameter as an initial value
`
`of the component parameter and an initial value of the operational parameter, respectively.
`
`7. (Currently amended) The setting support system of claim 3,
`
`wherein the rule table includes one or more individual rule tables, and each of the one or
`
`more individual rule tables links respective one of one or more setting values of the component
`
`parameter to respective one of one or more setting values of the operational parameter,
`
`wherein the storage stores the one or more individual rule tables and one or more patterns
`
`each specifying respective one of the one or more individual rule tables, and
`
`

`
`an individual rule table out of the one or more individual rule tables which is set by the setting
`
`unit of the controller.
`
`8. (Previously presented) The setting support system of claim 3, further comprising:

`
`report.
