Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to, for example, a pipeline engineering business support system, a pipeline engineering business support server, a pipeline engineering business support system control method, and a program for controlling a pipeline engineering business support system that support engineering and maintenance management related to pipelines including water supply pipes and the like. Background Art

[0002] Generally, pipeline engineering operations include multiple processes such as surveying, planning and design, construction work, and maintenance management. Since various processes are required in each process, a scheme for coordinating these processes has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a sewer laying design support system that comprehensively links a series of data processing processes from data input to sewer planning and design, construction work, and post-laying management to make the business more efficient and labor-saving.

[0003] In the sewer laying design support system, numerical values, calculation conditions, and drawing and tabulation conditions processed in sewer laying design are preset. When setting sewer planning data that three-dimensionally represents the sewer laying route based on current situation map data and the position data of existing buried objects, it is verified that the set flow rate calculated based on the numerical values and calculation conditions is within the allowable range. Based on the verified sewer planning data, a planning drawing and a planning calculation sheet are created according to the drawing and tabulation conditions. In addition, in the sewer laying design support system, when the set flow rate is not within the allowable range, it is indicated that the sewer planning data should be reset. After completion of construction, the planning drawing is readjusted to sewer facility data that can be linked with the GIS system.

[0007] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0008] The sewer laying design support system of the above Patent Document 1 supports the creation of planning drawings and various documents. Thereby, the creation of planning drawings and various documents can be effectively carried out.

[0009] However, in engineering operations such as pipeline engineering operations, the specifications of the computing terminals used in planning and design, maintenance management, etc. are different for each engineering operation. For example, the performance of the computing terminals is different, or the programs operating on the computing terminals are different. In addition, since multiple engineering contractors undertake each process of the engineering operation, various data are created and managed separately in each process. Therefore, various computing processes in each process are complicated.

[0010] In contrast, in recent engineering operations, there is the following expectation: regardless of the differences in the specifications of the computing terminals as described above or the engineering contractors, in various operations including the creation of planning diagrams or documents, the computing processes of the computing terminals are efficiently performed to achieve the overall efficiency of the engineering operation.

[0011] An object of the present invention is to implement a pipeline engineering operation support system that can efficiently perform the computing processes of computing terminals and achieve the efficiency of operations in each process in pipeline engineering operations.

[0012] Technical means for solving the problem

[0013] A pipeline engineering operation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to support engineering operations related to pipelines. The pipeline engineering operation support system includes: a support server; and a computing terminal, which is assigned ID information, can perform computing processes, and can communicate with the support server. The support server includes: a storage unit that stores attribute data related to the pipeline engineering operation in association with the ID information of the computing terminal; a data processing unit that reads out the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit when the ID information is received from the computing terminal; and a data output unit that outputs the attribute data read out by the data processing unit to the computing terminal (first structure).

[0014] According to the above structure, it is possible to centrally manage the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the entity as the business owner, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering operation through the support server. Therefore, when performing computing processes for each process corresponding to at least one of the entity, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering operation through the computing terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0015] Therefore, the computing processes of the computing terminal can be efficiently performed in each process. Thus, in pipeline engineering operations, the efficiency of operations in each process can be achieved. Moreover, according to the above structure, input errors generated when an operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0016] In addition, the pipeline engineering business includes pipeline engineering for projects such as laying or renewing pipelines, and pipeline maintenance management for maintaining and managing pipelines. Additionally, the ID information is data that can identify at least one of the business entity, pipeline engineering contractor, and pipeline engineering business.

[0017] In the first structure, the support server further has a program control unit that generates a control signal for controlling the operation terminal to execute an operation program according to a request from the operation terminal. The data output unit outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit and the control signal to the operation terminal (second structure).

[0018] Thereby, it is possible to control the operation terminal to execute the operation program through the support server, and at this time, it is possible to output the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal, that is, the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, pipeline engineering contractor, and pipeline engineering business, to the operation terminal. Therefore, it is possible to use the attribute data centrally managed by the support server to efficiently perform the operation processing of the operation program in the operation terminal.

[0019] Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the operation processing of the operation terminal in each process. Thereby, in the pipeline engineering business, it is possible to achieve the efficiency improvement of the operations in each process.

[0020] In the first structure, the support server further has a map display data generation unit that generates map display data for causing the operation terminal to display a map based on map data. The data output unit combines the attribute data read by the data processing unit and the map display data generated by the map display data generation unit, and outputs them to the operation terminal (third structure).

[0021] Thereby, when causing the operation terminal to display map data, it is possible to combine the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal and the map data, and output them to the operation terminal. Therefore, the operation terminal can combine the map display data and the attribute data and perform operation processing. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the operation processing of the operation terminal.

[0022] In the third structure, the water supply pipeline engineering business support system further has a pipeline state detection unit for obtaining the state of the pipeline. The support server further has an analysis processing unit that performs analysis related to the pipeline based on the state of the pipeline obtained by the pipeline state detection unit. The data output unit combines the attribute data read by the data processing unit, the analysis result based on the analysis processing unit, and the map display data generated by the map display data generation unit, and outputs them to the operation terminal (fourth structure).

[0023] Accordingly, the support server can combine the analysis result obtained from the acquisition result of the pipeline state with the attribute data associated with the ID information of the arithmetic terminal and the map display data, and output the combination to the arithmetic terminal.

[0024] Therefore, in maintenance management and the like, the arithmetic terminal can combine the map display data, the attribute data, and the analysis result for arithmetic processing. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal can be performed efficiently.

[0025] In the second structure, the support server stores the attribute data used in the arithmetic program when the arithmetic terminal executes the arithmetic program in association with the ID information of the arithmetic terminal in the storage unit (fifth structure).

[0026] Accordingly, the support server can accumulate a large amount of attribute data according to the arithmetic terminal executing the arithmetic program. Therefore, the arithmetic accuracy can be further improved, and the arithmetic processing can be performed more efficiently.

[0027] In the first structure, the attribute data includes data other than the data related to the characteristics of the pipeline (sixth structure).

[0028] Accordingly, the support server can output data other than the data related to the characteristics of the pipeline to the arithmetic terminal according to the ID information of the arithmetic terminal. Therefore, in the pipeline engineering business, arithmetic processing with high accuracy can be performed using information other than the characteristics of the pipeline.

[0029] The data related to the characteristics of the pipeline refers to data such as the material and size of the pipe constituting the pipeline, and data related to the specifications or performance of the pipe such as hydraulic data.

[0030] In any one of the first to sixth structures, the attribute data includes: enterprise-specific data including information related to the identification ID of the water supply enterprise; and master data associated with the enterprise-specific data (seventh structure).

[0031] Accordingly, the enterprise-specific data including the information related to the identification ID of the water supply enterprise can be associated with the master data and managed as attribute data.

[0032] In the sixth structure, the attribute data includes at least one of position data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data (eighth structure).

[0033] Accordingly, the support server can output at least one of the location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data to the computing terminal based on the ID information of the computing terminal. Therefore, in engineering operations related to pipelines, at least one of the location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data can be used to perform computing processes with high precision.

[0034] In the second structure, the computing program creates at least one of the pipeline design, construction plan, and submission document (ninth structure).

[0035] By operating the computing terminal, at least one of the pipeline design, construction plan, and submission document can be created through the computing program controlled and executed by the support server. Therefore, pipeline engineering operations can be carried out efficiently.

[0036] In the second structure, the computing program creates an update plan for maintenance management of the pipeline (tenth structure).

[0037] By operating the computing terminal, an update plan for maintenance management of the pipeline can be created through the computing program controlled and executed by the support server. Therefore, pipeline engineering operations can be carried out efficiently.

[0038] A pipeline engineering operation support server according to an embodiment of the present invention is a server for supporting engineering operations related to pipelines. The pipeline engineering operation support server includes: a communication unit capable of communicating with a computing terminal assigned with ID information; a storage unit that stores attribute data related to the pipeline engineering operation in association with the ID information of the computing terminal; a data processing unit that reads out the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit when the ID information is received from the computing terminal; and a data output unit that outputs the attribute data read out by the data processing unit to the computing terminal (eleventh structure).

[0039] Accordingly, centralized management of attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity as the business owner, pipeline engineering contractor, and pipeline engineering operations can be achieved through the support server. Therefore, when performing computing processes for each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, pipeline engineering contractor, and pipeline engineering operations through the computing terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0040] Therefore, the computing process of the computing terminal can be carried out efficiently in each process. Thus, in pipeline engineering operations, the efficiency of operations in each process can be realized. Moreover, according to the above structure, input errors generated when an operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0041] In the eleventh structure, the pipeline engineering business support server further includes a program control unit that generates a control signal for controlling the operation terminal to execute an operation program according to a request from the operation terminal. The data output unit combines the attribute data read by the data processing unit and the control signal, and outputs the combination to the operation terminal (twelfth structure).

[0042] Thereby, it is possible to control the operation terminal to execute an operation program through the support server. At this time, it is possible to output the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal, that is, the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering business, to the operation terminal. Therefore, it is possible to use the attribute data centrally managed by the support server to efficiently perform the operation processing of the operation program by the operation terminal.

[0043] Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the operation processing of the operation terminal in each process. Thereby, in the pipeline engineering business, it is possible to achieve the efficiency improvement of the operations in each process.

[0044] In the eleventh structure, the pipeline engineering business support server further includes a map display data generation unit that generates map display data for causing the operation terminal to display a map based on map data. The data output unit combines the attribute data read by the data processing unit into the map display data generated by the map display data generation unit, and outputs the combination to the operation terminal (thirteenth structure).

[0045] Thereby, when performing map display in maintenance management, it is possible to output the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal to the operation terminal. Therefore, in maintenance management and the like, the operation terminal can combine the map display data and the attribute data and perform operation processing. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the operation processing of the operation terminal.

[0046] A pipeline engineering business support system control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method for controlling a pipeline engineering business support system that includes an operation terminal and a support server and supports engineering operations related to pipelines. The pipeline engineering business support system control method includes: an ID information sending step in which the operation terminal sends the ID information assigned to the operation terminal to the support server; an attribute data reading step in which the support server reads, according to the received ID information, attribute data related to the pipeline engineering business stored in a storage unit of the support server in association with the ID information; and an attribute data sending step in which the support server sends the attribute data to the operation terminal (first method).

[0047] According to the above method, the support server can centrally manage the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity as the business owner, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering business. Therefore, when performing arithmetic processing on each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering business through the arithmetic terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0048] Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal can be efficiently performed in each process. Thus, in the pipeline engineering business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be achieved. Moreover, according to the above structure, input errors generated when the operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0049] In the first method, the pipeline engineering business support system control method further has a program control step, in which the support server generates a control signal for controlling the arithmetic terminal to execute an arithmetic program according to a request from the arithmetic terminal. In the ID information sending step, the arithmetic terminal sends a request signal for requesting to execute the arithmetic program together with the ID information to the support server. In the attribute data sending step, the support server combines the attribute data read out in the attribute data reading step and the control signal generated in the program control step, and sends them to the arithmetic terminal (second method).

[0050] Thus, the support server can control the arithmetic terminal to execute the arithmetic program, and at this time, the attribute data associated with the ID information of the arithmetic terminal, that is, the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering business, can be output to the arithmetic terminal. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic program can be efficiently performed by the arithmetic terminal using the attribute data centrally managed by the support server.

[0051] Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal can be efficiently performed in each process. Thus, in the pipeline engineering business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be achieved.

[0052] In the first method, the pipeline engineering business support system control method further has a map display data generation step, in which the support server generates map display data for causing the arithmetic terminal to display a map based on map data. In the attribute data sending step, the support server combines the attribute data read out in the attribute data reading step and the map display data generated in the map display data generation step, and sends them to the arithmetic terminal (third method).

[0053] Thus, when the operation terminal displays a map, the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal can be output to the operation terminal. Therefore, the operation terminal can combine the map display data and the attribute data and perform arithmetic processing. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the operation terminal can be efficiently performed.

[0054] A program for controlling a pipeline engineering business support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a program for controlling a pipeline engineering business support system that has an operation terminal and a support server and supports engineering operations related to pipelines. The program for controlling the pipeline engineering business support system causes the support server to execute the following processes: a reception process of receiving, from the operation terminal, ID information assigned to the operation terminal; an attribute data reading process of reading, based on the received ID information, attribute data related to the pipeline engineering business stored in a storage unit of the support server in association with the ID information; and an attribute data sending process of sending the attribute data to the operation terminal (first program).

[0055] According to the above structure, the support server can centrally manage the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity as the business owner, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering business. Therefore, when arithmetic processing of each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline engineering contractor, and the pipeline engineering business is performed by the operation terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0056] Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the operation terminal can be efficiently performed in each process. Thus, in the pipeline engineering business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be achieved. Moreover, according to the above structure, input errors generated when an operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0057] In the first program, the program for controlling the pipeline engineering business support system causes the support server to further execute a program control process of generating a control signal for controlling the operation terminal to execute an arithmetic program according to a request from the operation terminal. In the reception process, the support server receives a request signal for requesting execution of the arithmetic program sent from the operation terminal together with the ID information. In the attribute data sending process, the support server sends the attribute data read out by the attribute data reading process and the control signal generated by the program control process to the operation terminal (second program).

[0058] Thus, it is possible to control the computing terminal to execute the computing program through the support server, and at this time, it is possible to output the attribute data associated with the ID information of the computing terminal, that is, the attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline engineering business, to the computing terminal. Therefore, it is possible to use the attribute data centrally managed by the support server to efficiently perform the computing process of the computing program by the computing terminal.

[0059] Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the computing process of the computing terminal in each process. Thus, in the pipeline engineering business, it is possible to achieve the high efficiency of the operations in each process.

[0060] In the first program, the control program for the water supply pipe engineering business support system causes the support server to further execute a map display data generation process. The map display data generation process generates map display data for causing the computing terminal to display a map based on map data. In the attribute data sending process, the support server combines the attribute data read out by the attribute data reading process and the map display data generated by the map display data generation process, and sends them to the computing terminal (third program).

[0061] Thus, when causing the computing terminal to display a map, it is possible to output the attribute data associated with the ID information of the computing terminal to the computing terminal. Therefore, the computing terminal can combine the map display data and the attribute data and perform a computing process. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the computing process of the computing terminal.

[0062] Advantages of the Invention

[0063] A pipeline engineering business support system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a support server; and a computing terminal assigned with ID information, capable of performing a computing process and capable of communicating with the support server. The support server includes: a storage unit that stores attribute data related to the pipeline engineering business in association with the ID information of the computing terminal; a data processing unit that reads out the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit when receiving the ID information from the computing terminal; and a data output unit that outputs the attribute data read out by the data processing unit to the computing terminal.

[0064] Thus, when performing the computing process of each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline engineering business through the computing terminal and the support server, it is possible to use the attribute data centrally managed by the support server. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the computing process of the computing terminal in each process. Thus, in the pipeline engineering business, it is possible to achieve the high efficiency of the operations in each process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In addition, the dimensions of the structural members in each figure do not faithfully represent the actual dimensions of the structural members and the dimensional ratios of the structural members, etc.

[0081] [Embodiment 1]

[0082] (Tap Water Pipe Construction Business Support System)

[0083] Figure 1 It is a functional block diagram showing the schematic structure of the tap water pipe construction business support system 1 (pipe construction business support system) according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the engineering business related to the pipeline of the tap water pipe (tap water pipe construction business), the tap water pipe construction business support system 1 efficiently performs the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal 3, so as to efficiently perform processing in each of the subsequent processes. That is, the tap water pipe construction business support system 1 is a system that supports the tap water pipe construction business.

[0084] The tap water pipe construction business support system 1 includes a support server 2 (pipe construction business support server) and an arithmetic terminal 3. The support server 2 and the arithmetic terminal 3 are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

[0085] The arithmetic terminal 3 can be constituted by, for example, a computer device or a mobile terminal. As long as the arithmetic terminal 3 has a structure capable of communicating with the support server 2 and performing arithmetic processing together with the arithmetic terminal, it can have any structure. The arithmetic terminal 3 can have a display unit or can be configured to output display data to another display unit.

[0086] The arithmetic terminal 3 has an ID information storage unit 31 that stores inherent ID information. The ID information storage unit 31 is constituted by a storage device such as a hard disk or a memory, for example. The ID information is information capable of identifying at least one of each tap water utility (utility), each tap water pipe contractor (pipe contractor), and each tap water pipe construction business (pipe construction business). The ID information can be, for example, information such as a different identification number for each tap water utility, information such as an identification number assigned to each arithmetic terminal, information such as a different identification number for each tap water pipe contractor, or information such as an identification number assigned to each tap water pipe construction business.

[0087] In addition, the water supply utility is the proprietor of the water supply business. The water pipe contractor is a contractor that undertakes the water pipe project business from the water supply utility and conducts the water pipe project business. The water pipe project business is an engineering business related to water pipes carried out by the water supply utility. The water pipe project business includes: the water pipe project for laying or renewing water pipes, etc., and the water pipe maintenance management for maintaining and managing water pipes.

[0088] The operation terminal 3 is configured to be able to send the ID information to the support server 2. In addition, when the operation terminal 3 is communicably connected to the support server 2, it can send the ID information to the support server 2. When entrusting the support server 2 with processing, it can send the ID information to the support server 2, and it can also send the ID information to the support server 2 according to a request from the support server 2.

[0089] In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where there is one operation terminal 3 relative to the support server 2 is described, but it may also be configured such that a plurality of operation terminals are communicable with the support server 2.

[0090] The support server 2 is composed of, for example, a computer device. The support server 2 can perform arithmetic processing, store attribute data corresponding to at least one of the water supply utility, the water pipe contractor, and the water pipe project business, and send the attribute data to the operation terminal 3 according to the ID information sent from the operation terminal 3.

[0091] In addition, the attribute data includes: information related to the specifications of the water pipe, such as the material and size of the water pipe, position data related to the location where the water pipe project is carried out, hydraulic data (water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity), geological data, terrain data, environmental data, vibration data, traffic data, information related to the water supply utility that manages the water pipe, the water pipe contractor that conducts the water pipe project, and other water pipe project business-related information, etc. The attribute data preferably includes data other than the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe. The attribute data particularly preferably includes at least one of position data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data. The attribute data may also include data obtained through arithmetic processing by the support server 2 or the operation terminal 3. In addition, the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe refers to data related to the specifications or performance of the water pipe, such as the material and size of the water pipe, and hydraulic data.

[0092] In addition, the attribute data has, for example: enterprise-specific data including information related to the identification ID of the water supply enterprise; and master data associated with the enterprise-specific data. The master data includes: water pipe data containing information related to the specifications of the water pipe, such as the material and size of the water pipe; template data related to the forms of documents submitted to the water supply enterprise; location data related to the location where the water pipe project is carried out; hydraulic data (water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity); geological data; topographical data; environmental data; vibration data; and traffic data, etc. The master data is used for the creation of the construction plan described later.

[0093] Specifically, the support server 2 has a communication unit 20, a storage unit 21, a data processing unit 22, and a data output unit 23.

[0094] The communication unit 20 communicates with the computing terminal 3 via an Internet line or the like. The communication unit 20 can, for example, input a signal from the computing terminal 3 and output a signal to the computing terminal 3. That is, the communication unit 20 is configured to be able to receive and transmit signals from the computing terminal 3. The communication unit 20 is configured to be able to communicate with the computing terminal 3 using wired or wireless means.

[0095] The storage unit 21 stores the attribute data related to the water pipe project business in association with the ID information that can identify at least one of the water supply enterprise, the water pipe contractor, and the water pipe project business. The storage unit 21 is, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk or a memory. The storage unit 21 can pre-store the attribute data or store the attribute data obtained by the processing within the support server 2. Thereby, it is possible to centrally manage the attribute data related to the water pipe project business of each water supply enterprise within the support server 2. That is, it is possible to centrally manage the enterprise-specific data and the master data in association within the support server 2.

[0096] Based on the ID information received from the computing terminal 3, the data processing unit 22 reads out the attribute data associated with the ID information from the attribute data stored in the storage unit 21. Specifically, the data processing unit 22 reads out the enterprise-specific data associated with the ID information and reads out the master data associated with the enterprise-specific data. The data processing unit 22 outputs the attribute data including the read enterprise-specific data and the master data to the data output unit 23.

[0097] The data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit 22 to the computing terminal 3 via the communication unit 20.

[0098] As described above, the water pipe construction business support system 1 of the present embodiment supports construction operations related to water pipes. The water pipe construction business support system 1 includes: a support server 2; and an arithmetic terminal 3, which is assigned ID information, can perform arithmetic processing, and can communicate with the support server 2. The support server 2 includes: a storage unit 21 that stores attribute data related to the water pipe construction business in association with the ID information of the arithmetic terminal 3; a data processing unit 22 that reads out the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit 21 when the ID information is received from the arithmetic terminal 3; and a data output unit 23 that outputs the attribute data read out by the data processing unit 22 to the arithmetic terminal 3.

[0099] In addition, the support server 2 of the present embodiment is a server for supporting construction operations related to water pipes. The support server 2 includes: a communication unit 20 that can communicate with an arithmetic terminal 3 assigned with ID information; a storage unit 21 that stores attribute data related to the water pipe construction business in association with the ID information of the arithmetic terminal 3; a data processing unit 22 that reads out the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit 21 when the ID information is received from the arithmetic terminal 3; and a data output unit 23 that outputs the attribute data read out by the data processing unit 22 to the arithmetic terminal 3.

[0100] According to the above structure, the support server 2 can centrally manage the attribute data related to the water pipe construction business of each water supply business entity. Therefore, when the arithmetic terminal 3 and the support server 2 perform arithmetic processing on each process corresponding to at least one of the water supply business entity as the business owner, the water pipe construction contractor, and the water pipe construction business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used.

[0101] Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal can be efficiently performed in each process of the water pipe construction business. As a result, in the water pipe construction business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be realized. Moreover, according to the above structure, input errors generated when an operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0102] In addition, in the structure of the present embodiment, when the data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data to the arithmetic terminal 3, the support server 2 may also send data or programs required by the arithmetic terminal 3 to the arithmetic terminal 3. As a result, the data or programs centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used, and the arithmetic processing can be efficiently performed in the arithmetic terminal 3.

[0103] (Water Pipe Construction Business Support System Control Method)

[0104] Figure 2 This is a flowchart showing the control method of the water pipe engineering business support system (pipe line engineering business support system) carried out by the water pipe engineering business support system 1 with the above structure. Hereinafter, Figure 2 the control method of the water pipe engineering business support system will be described.

[0105] First, the operation terminal 3 of the water pipe engineering business support system 1 sends the ID information assigned to the operation terminal 3 to the support server 2 (step S1). The support server 2 receives the ID information sent from the operation terminal 3 through the communication unit 20.

[0106] Next, the data processing unit 22 of the support server 2 reads out the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business of each water supply business entity stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 2 in association with the received ID information according to the received ID information (step S2). The attribute data includes the above-mentioned entity-specific data and the master data associated with the entity-specific data. The attribute data read out by the data processing unit 22 is output to the operation terminal 3 through the communication unit 20 by the data output unit 23 (step S3).

[0107] Here, step S1 in which the operation terminal 3 sends the ID information to the support server 2 corresponds to the ID information sending step. Step S2 in which the data processing unit 22 reads out the attribute data from the storage unit 21 according to the ID information corresponds to the attribute data reading step. Step S3 in which the data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data to the operation terminal 3 through the communication unit 20 corresponds to the attribute data sending step.

[0108] As described above, the control method of the water pipe engineering business support system in this embodiment is a method for controlling the water pipe engineering business support system 1 having an operation terminal 3 and a support server 2 and supporting the engineering business related to water pipes. The control method of the water pipe engineering business support system has: an ID information sending step in which the operation terminal 3 sends the ID information assigned to the operation terminal 3 to the support server 2; an attribute data reading step in which the support server reads out the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business stored in the storage unit of the support server in association with the received ID information according to the received ID information; and an attribute data sending step in which the support server sends the attribute data to the operation terminal.

[0109] Through the above method, the support server 2 can centrally manage the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business of each water supply business entity. Therefore, when the computing terminal 3 and the support server 2 perform computing processing on each process corresponding to at least one of the water supply business entity as the business owner, the water pipe engineering contractor, and the water pipe engineering business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used.

[0110] Therefore, the computing processing of the computing terminal can be efficiently performed in each process of the water pipe engineering business. Thus, in the water pipe engineering business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be achieved. Moreover, through the above method, input errors generated when the operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0111] (Program for Controlling Water Pipe Engineering Business Support System)

[0112] The program (program for controlling the water pipe engineering business support system) in the embodiment of the present invention only needs to make the support server 2, which is a part of the water pipe engineering business support system 1, execute Figure 2 the program of steps S1 to S3 shown. By the support server 2 executing this program, the water pipe engineering business support system 1 and the water pipe engineering business support system control method in the present embodiment can be realized. In this case, the support server 2 can be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer. For example, the computer is equipped with a CPU, and the CPU (Central Processing Unit) performs computing processing.

[0113] The program for controlling the water pipe engineering business support system in the present embodiment is a program for controlling the water pipe engineering business support system 1 that has a computing terminal 3 and a support server 2 and supports the engineering business related to water pipes. The program for controlling the water pipe engineering business support system makes the support server 2 perform the following processing: a reception process of receiving ID information assigned to the computing terminal 3 from the computing terminal 3; an attribute data reading process of reading, according to the received ID information, the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 2 in association with the ID information; an attribute data sending process of sending the attribute data to the computing terminal 3. The attribute data includes the above-mentioned business entity-specific data and the master data associated with the business entity-specific data.

[0114] By the above method, the support server 2 can centrally manage the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business of each water supply business entity. Therefore, when the computing terminal 3 and the support server 2 perform computing processing for each process corresponding to at least one of the water supply business entity as the business owner, the water pipe engineering contractor, and the water pipe engineering business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used.

[0115] Therefore, the computing processing of the computing terminal can be efficiently performed in each process of the water pipe engineering business. Thus, in the water pipe engineering business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be achieved. Moreover, through the above structure, input errors generated when the operator manually inputs the attribute data can be prevented.

[0116] In addition, in the present embodiment, the attribute data includes data other than the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe. Thus, the support server 2 can output data other than the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe to the computing terminal 3 according to the ID information of the computing terminal 3. Therefore, in the water pipe engineering business, computing processing can be performed with high precision using information other than the characteristics of the water pipe. In addition, the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe refers to data such as the material, size, etc. of the water pipe, and hydraulic data, etc., which are related to the specifications or performance of the water pipe.

[0117] The attribute data includes at least one of position data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data. Thus, the support server 2 can output at least one of position data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data to the computing terminal 3 according to the ID information of the computing terminal 3. Therefore, in the water pipe engineering business, computing processing can be performed with high precision using at least one of position data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and terrain data.

[0118] [Embodiment 2]

[0119] In Figure 3 a functional block diagram showing the schematic structure of the water pipe engineering business support system 100 according to Embodiment 2 is shown. The difference between the water pipe engineering business support system 100 according to Embodiment 2 and the water pipe engineering business support system 1 according to Embodiment 1 is that, in addition to the attribute data, the support server 102 also sends a control signal of the program to the computing terminal 103. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as in Embodiment 1 and the description thereof is omitted, and only the parts different from Embodiment 1 are described.

[0120] As Figure 3As shown, the water pipe engineering business support system 100 includes a support server 102 and an arithmetic terminal 103. The support server 102 and the arithmetic terminal 103 are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

[0121] The arithmetic terminal 103 has the same structure as the arithmetic terminal 3 of the first embodiment, except that it has a program processing unit 132. The program processing unit 132 controls the processing of programs used in the arithmetic processing executed by the arithmetic terminal 103. The program processing unit 132 notifies information related to data or programs required in the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal 103, etc. as a request signal to the program control unit 124 of the support server 102. At this time, the ID information sent from the arithmetic terminal 103 to the support server 102 is also sent to the program control unit 124.

[0122] In addition, the program requested for permission to use from the arithmetic terminal 103 to the support server 102 according to the request signal is an arithmetic program. This arithmetic program includes an extension program for extending the program functions processed in the arithmetic terminal 103. This extension program can be stored in the program processing unit 132, or can be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the arithmetic terminal 103. Additionally, the extension program can be stored in the storage unit 21 described later of the support server 102, and when the control signal described later is generated by the program control unit 124, the arithmetic terminal 103 can use it in arithmetic processing.

[0123] The support server 102 has the same structure as the support server 2 of the first embodiment, except that it has a program control unit 124. The program control unit 124 generates a control signal for controlling the program processing of the arithmetic terminal 103 according to the request signal output from the program processing unit 132 of the arithmetic terminal 103. At this time, the program control unit 124 determines whether to permit the request in the request signal based on the ID information sent from the arithmetic terminal 103, and generates the control signal based on the determination result. Thus, since the control signal is generated according to the ID information of the arithmetic terminal 103, the programs that can be arithmetically processed in the arithmetic terminal 103 can be controlled according to the ID information of the arithmetic terminal 103. In addition, the program control unit 124 can determine whether to permit the request in the request signal based on preset rules, or can also determine whether to permit the request in the request signal based on the contract form of the water pipe engineering business, etc.

[0124] The control signal generated by the program control unit 124 is output to the data output unit 23.

[0125] The data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data and the control signal obtained by the data processing unit 22 from the storage unit 21 to the arithmetic terminal 103 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In addition, the data output unit 23 may output the attribute data and the control signal to the arithmetic terminal 103 at different timings, or may output the attribute data and the control signal to the arithmetic terminal 103 in combination.

[0126] Thereby, it is possible to control the arithmetic terminal 103 to execute the arithmetic program by the support server 102, and at this time, the attribute data associated with the ID information of the arithmetic terminal 103, that is, the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business of each water supply business entity, can be output to the arithmetic terminal 103. Therefore, it is possible to use the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102 and efficiently perform the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic program by the arithmetic terminal 103.

[0127] Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic terminal in each process of the water pipe engineering described later in the water pipe engineering business. Thereby, in the water pipe engineering business, it is possible to realize the efficiency improvement of the operations in each process.

[0128] Figure 4 It is a flowchart showing the control method of the water pipe engineering business support system according to the present embodiment.

[0129] As Figure 4 shown, in the present embodiment, the arithmetic terminal 103 sends a request signal for requesting the execution of the arithmetic program together with the ID information to the support server 102 (step S11). In the same manner as in step S2 of the first embodiment, the data processing unit 22 of the support server 102 reads out the attribute data related to the water pipe engineering business stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 102 in association with the received ID information (step S12).

[0130] Next, the support server 102 generates a control signal for controlling the arithmetic terminal 103 to execute the arithmetic program according to the request signal from the arithmetic terminal 103 (step S13). This step corresponds to the program control step.

[0131] Then, the support server 102 combines the attribute data read out in step S12 and the control signal generated in step S13, and sends them to the arithmetic terminal 103 via the communication unit 20 (step S14).

[0132] As described above, in addition to the method of the first embodiment, the control method of the water pipe engineering business support system of the present embodiment further includes a program control step in which the support server 102 generates a control signal for controlling the operation terminal 103 to execute an operation program according to a request from the operation terminal 103. In the ID information sending step (step S11), the operation terminal 103 sends a request signal for requesting the execution of the operation program together with the ID information to the support server 102. In the attribute data sending step (step S14), the support server 102 sends the attribute data read out in the attribute data reading step (step S12) and the control signal generated in the program control step to the operation terminal 103.

[0133] In addition to the processing performed by the program of the first embodiment, the program for controlling the water pipe engineering business support system of the present embodiment causes the support server 102 to execute a program control process for generating a control signal for controlling the operation terminal 103 to execute an operation program according to a request from the operation terminal 103. In the reception process, the support server 102 is caused to receive a request signal for requesting the execution of the operation program sent from the operation terminal 103 together with the ID information. In the attribute data sending process, the support server 102 sends the attribute data read out by the attribute data reading process and the control signal generated by the program control process to the operation terminal 103.

[0134] By the above method or program, it is possible to control the operation terminal 103 to execute an operation program through the support server 102, and at this time, it is possible to output the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal 103, that is, the attribute data of each water supply business entity, to the operation terminal 103. Therefore, it is possible to use the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102, and the operation terminal 103 can efficiently perform arithmetic processing using the operation program.

[0135] Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the arithmetic processing of the operation terminal 103 in each process. Thus, in the water pipe engineering business, it is possible to achieve the efficiency improvement of the operations in each process.

[0136] (Water pipe engineering)

[0137] Next, the process of water pipe engineering in the water pipe engineering business will be described using the Figure 5 flow shown. In addition, in the water pipe engineering business, it includes the water pipe engineering described above and the water pipe maintenance management described later.

[0138] In the present embodiment, the water pipe project refers to the project of installing water pipes and the like in an installation site such as underground. The water pipe project includes not only the project of newly installing water pipes and the like, but also the project of updating old water pipes and the like to new water pipes. In addition, in the following description, the water pipes and the like include not only water pipes, but also components related to the pipeline of the water pipes, such as valves.

[0139] As Figure 5 shown, the water pipe project includes procedures such as survey, design, construction planning, construction, inspection, and completion.

[0140] First, in the water pipe project, an underground survey and the like of the installation site of the water pipe are carried out (the survey in step SA1). This survey includes not only the survey of the installation site of the water pipe, but also the collection of such data when there is data related to the water pipe (including data related to the specifications of the water pipe, data related to the underground, aboveground, and other buried objects at the installation site of the water pipe).

[0141] The survey results obtained through the above survey are stored in the storage unit of the support server 102 in association with the ID information that can identify the water pipe project of each water utility as attribute data.

[0142] In the above survey, the survey results can also be displayed on a map in association with two-dimensional or three-dimensional map data.

[0143] Next, based on the above survey results, the pipeline and the like are designed (the design in step SA2). In this design, for example, the pipeline is designed through the operation terminal 103, and the specifications of the water pipes to be used are determined. Thus, the types, materials, and quantities of the water pipes used in the water pipe project are calculated.

[0144] When the pipeline is designed by the operation terminal 103, the operation terminal 103 sends the ID information and the request signal used by the operation program to the support server 102. Thereby, the data output unit 23 of the support server 102 outputs the attribute data corresponding to the ID information read from the storage unit 21 by the data processing unit 22 and the control signal generated by the program control unit 124 according to the request signal to the operation terminal 103. The attribute data includes the above-mentioned enterprise-specific data and the master data associated with the enterprise-specific data.

[0145] The operation terminal 103 can execute the operation programs required for the designed operation processing by using the control signals sent from the support server 102. In addition, the operation programs can be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the operation terminal 103, or can be stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 102, and the operation terminal 103 can access them by using the control signals. The operation programs are, for example, extended functions of CAD, extended functions of pipeline design, earthwork quantity calculation systems, etc.

[0146] The operation terminal 103 uses the attribute data sent from the support server 102 and performs operation processing according to the necessary programs. Thus, the operation terminal 103 can perform the design of pipelines and the like. The information obtained from the design of pipelines and the like is stored in the storage unit of the support server 102 in association with the ID information as attribute data. In addition, the support server 102 creates design drawings and the like by using the information obtained from the design of pipelines and the like.

[0147] Next, based on the design information obtained from the result of the design, the construction plan is created (the construction plan in step SA3). Specifically, the operation terminal 103 draws up the construction process and creates the construction plan based on the design information and the attribute data output from the support server 102. The construction plan is created according to conditions such as the design information, the type of project, the specifications and number of heavy machinery of the specifications, the transportation time, the operation time, the operation personnel, the project environment, etc. The construction plan includes at least one of an operation process table, an operation instruction book, the calculation of the quantity of materials such as water pipes used in the project, the planning of the quotation and delivery period of the materials, the inventory management and procurement planning of the materials. The project environment refers to the environment of the place where the water pipe project can be carried out, such as the time period of the project, the traffic volume of the road, the type of nearby buildings (commercial, residential, etc.), the weather, the season, etc. The design information also includes information on the designed pipeline (hereinafter referred to as the design pipeline).

[0148] For example, the operation terminal 103 can also use an extended program permitted for use by the program control unit 124 of the support server 102 according to a request signal to create the construction plan.

[0149] In addition, by inputting conditions to the operation terminal 103, the support server 102 can also create the construction plan based on the design information and the attribute data.

[0150] The information obtained in the construction plan (hereinafter referred to as construction plan information) is stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 102 in association with the ID information. In the support server 102, based on the construction plan information, submission books such as construction plan drawings for submission to the water utility are created.

[0151] Next, based on the construction planning information, the water pipe project is carried out at the construction site (the construction in step SA4). The support server 102 causes an information corresponding to the operation process to be displayed on a mobile terminal (not shown) or the like based on the construction planning information. For example, the operation content or the like may be displayed on a mobile terminal at the construction site based on the construction planning information. Thus, at the construction site, the water pipe project is carried out based on the construction planning information. In addition, the support server 102 may automatically operate and control operation machinery or the like at the construction site based on the construction planning information and the design information.

[0152] At the construction site, various inspections such as dimensional inspection and construction inspection are carried out according to the operation process. In addition, at the construction site, in order to manage the operation process, the actual result management of whether the operation is completed is also carried out. The results of these inspections and actual result management are sent as construction actual result information from an actual result acquisition terminal such as a mobile terminal to the support server 102. In addition, the inspection result may also be automatically sent from a measuring device or operation machinery to the support server 102, or may be input by an operator to the actual result acquisition terminal and sent to the support server 102.

[0153] The construction planning information is associated with the construction actual result information obtained at the construction site in the support server 102. At this time, the construction planning information and the construction actual result information are associated with each other by being associated with the management position in the pipeline of the water pipe.

[0154] Next, based on the construction planning information and the construction actual result information obtained at the construction site, as-built drawings or the like are created (the as-built in step SA5). The support server 102 creates submission documents such as a completed form management table, an electronic blackboard, and a photo management ledger based on the construction planning information and the construction actual result information.

[0155] An example of the structure of the support server 102 used in the water pipe project as described above will be described below.

[0156] In addition to the structures described above, the support server 102 further includes a construction planning information generation unit 125, a construction planning information output unit 126, a construction actual result information acquisition unit 127, and a submission document creation unit 128. Figure 6 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the structure of the support server 102 used in the water pipe project as described above. In addition, in Figure 6 only the structures required in the following description are shown in the support server 102, and the structures shown in Figure 3 are omitted from the illustration.

[0157] The construction plan information generation unit 125 generates construction plan information based on the design information and the attribute data. Specifically, the construction plan information generation unit 125 reads the attribute data from the storage unit 21 for each specified section of the design pipeline included in the design information, and generates construction plan information. Thus, the construction plan information is generated for each of the specified sections.

[0158] The specified section is, for example, a section included in one drawing data in the design pipeline. Hereinafter, the drawing data related to the specified section in the design pipeline is referred to as section drawing data. The design pipeline includes at least one section drawing data. In addition, as long as the specified section is a specified section predetermined in the design pipeline, it may also be a section other than the section included in the one drawing data.

[0159] The section drawing data includes construction section data related to at least one construction section. The construction section data is data for each construction section in the section drawing data. The construction section is a unit for managing the water supply pipe project. Among a plurality of construction sections, for example, the water supply pipe contractors may be different, the construction schedules may overlap, and as will be described later, different performance acquisition terminals for acquiring construction performance information may be assigned.

[0160] The construction section data includes work scope data related to at least one work scope. The work scope data is data for each work scope in the construction section data. The work scope is the smallest unit for managing the water supply pipe project. The work scope may be determined based on the construction schedule or may be determined according to the work content. For example, the work scope may be the work scope for one day when creating the construction plan information, or may be the work scope determined when creating the design information or the construction plan information.

[0161] Figure 7 An example is shown in which three section drawing data DD11, DD12, and DD13 are included in the design information as the section drawing data. Figure 7 An example of the section drawing data DD11 is shown. The section drawing data DD11 includes construction section data related to two construction sections K1 and K2. The construction section K1 includes three work scopes K11, K12, and K13. The construction section K2 includes two work scopes K21 and K22. In addition, in Figure 7 AA0 to AA5 represent management positions, T1 represents the starting point of the design pipeline TP, and T2 represents the end point of the design pipeline TP.

[0162] The construction plan information generation unit 125 generates the construction plan information for each work scope using the design information and the attribute data. Specifically, the construction plan information generation unit 125 uses the information related to the designed pipeline included in the design information and the master data (such as water pipe data, hydraulic data, terrain data, environmental data, etc.) included in the attribute data to generate the construction plan information. The construction plan information is generated in association with the work scope. The construction plan information associated with the work scope is also associated with the construction section including the work scope. In addition, the construction plan information associated with the work scope is also associated with the sectional drawing data including the data related to the work scope and the construction section. Furthermore, the sectional drawing data is associated with the enterprise-specific data of the attribute data. Thus, the sectional drawing data can be managed in association with the water supply enterprise.

[0163] Figure 8 FIG. is a diagram schematically showing the construction plan information generated by the construction plan information generation unit 125. The construction plan information is generated by the construction plan information generation unit 125 for each sectional drawing data DD11, DD12, DD13. As Figure 8 shown, for example, the construction plan information generated based on the sectional drawing data DD11 includes the construction plan information generated based on the construction sections K1, K2. The construction plan information generated based on the construction section K1 includes the construction plan information generated based on the work scopes K11, K12, K13. The construction plan information generated based on the construction section K2 includes the construction plan information generated based on the work scopes K21, K22.

[0164] The construction plan information generated by the construction plan information generation unit 125 is stored in the storage unit 21. At this time, the construction plan information can be stored in the storage unit 21 for each sectional drawing data, can be stored in the storage unit 21 for each construction section, or can be stored in the storage unit 21 for each work scope. In addition, Figure 6 An example of storing the construction plan information in the storage unit 21 for each sectional drawing data is shown.

[0165] The construction plan information output unit 126 outputs the construction plan information generated by the construction plan information generation unit 125 and stored in the storage unit 21 to the performance acquisition terminal 104 described later. Specifically, the construction plan information output unit 125 reads out the construction plan information associated with the work scope from the storage unit 21 and outputs the read construction plan information to the performance acquisition terminal 104 via the communication unit 20.

[0166] The actual result acquisition terminal 104 acquires the construction actual result information of the water pipe project based on the construction plan information acquired from the support server 102 as described above. Specifically, the actual result acquisition terminal 104 acquires the construction actual result information corresponding to the construction plan information associated with the operation range according to the input of the operator or the output from a detection device such as a sensor. The actual result acquisition terminal 104 is, for example, a movable terminal such as a mobile terminal or an arithmetic terminal. The actual result acquisition terminal 104 may also be constituted by the arithmetic terminal 103. Although not particularly illustrated, the actual result acquisition terminal 104 has a communication unit, a storage unit, a control unit, and a touch panel unit.

[0167] The communication unit is a network interface for connecting and communicating with a wireless network or a wired network based on a mobile phone communication network or a wireless communication standard, etc. The storage unit stores programs executed in the control unit described later and various data including data used in the programs. The storage unit is, for example, a storage device such as a memory.

[0168] The control unit executes various functions in the actual result acquisition terminal 104 by executing programs. The touch panel unit accepts touch input by the user to the actual result acquisition terminal 104. On the other hand, it displays various screens to the user. The actual result acquisition terminal 104 executes various processes based on the operation content accepted in the touch panel unit. In addition, the actual result acquisition terminal 104 sends the operation content accepted in the touch panel unit to the support server 102.

[0169] The actual result acquisition terminal 104 acquires the construction plan information associated with the operation range from the support server 102. On the other hand, after acquiring the construction actual result information corresponding to the construction plan information and associated with the operation range, it outputs the construction actual result information to the support server 102.

[0170] The construction actual result information acquisition unit 127 acquires, via the communication unit 20, the construction actual result information acquired by the actual result acquisition terminal 104 and associated with the operation range. The construction actual result information acquisition unit 127 stores the construction actual result information acquired from the actual result acquisition terminal 104 in the storage unit 21.

[0171] The storage unit 21 stores the business entity-specific data and master data included in the attribute data, the construction plan information, and the construction actual result information. The storage unit 21 stores the construction plan information and the construction actual result information in association with the operation range respectively.

[0172] The construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information based on the construction actual result information stored in the storage unit 21. For example, when the construction actual result in the construction actual result information is earlier or later than the scheduled one planned in the construction plan information, the construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information using the construction actual result information. In this case, the construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information using the construction actual result information stored in the storage unit 21 and associated with the work scope.

[0173] As described above, in the water pipe project, by managing the construction plan information and the construction actual result information respectively in association with the work scope, when the construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information using the construction actual result information, it can be processed easily and quickly. That is, since the water pipe project can be planned and managed for each work scope, it is possible to easily perform planning changes, arithmetic processing, etc. according to the work scope.

[0174] The submission document creation unit 128 creates submission documents such as a completion form management table, an electronic blackboard, and a photo management ledger using the construction plan information and the construction actual result information stored in the storage unit 21 in association with the work scope. In addition, the submission document creation unit 128 may also create the submission document using at least one of the construction plan information and the construction actual result information associated with the project section.

[0175] As described above, in the water pipe project, the support server 102 centrally manages the attribute data related to the water pipe project business of each water supply business entity. When the arithmetic processing terminal 103 and the support server 102 perform arithmetic processing of each process corresponding to at least one of the water supply business entity as the business owner, the water pipe contractor, and the water pipe project business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102 can be used.

[0176] Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic processing terminal 103 can be efficiently performed in each process. Thus, in the water pipe project, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be realized.

[0177] Moreover, in this embodiment, the support server 102 has a program control unit 124, and the program control unit 124 generates a control signal for controlling the execution of the arithmetic program of the arithmetic processing terminal 103 according to a request signal from the arithmetic processing terminal 103. The data output unit 23 of the support server 102 outputs the attribute data and the control signal read by the data processing unit 22 to the arithmetic processing terminal 103.

[0178] Accordingly, the support server 102 controls the computing terminal 103 to execute the computing program, and at this time, the attribute data associated with the ID information of the computing terminal 103, that is, the attribute data corresponding to the water pipe project, can be output to the computing terminal 103. Therefore, the computing terminal 103 can efficiently perform the computing process of the computing program by using the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102.

[0179] Moreover, in the present embodiment, the support server 102 stores the attribute data used in the computing program when the computing terminal 103 executes the extension program in the storage unit 21 in association with the ID information of the computing terminal 103.

[0180] Accordingly, the support server 102 can accumulate a plurality of attribute data according to the execution of the computing program of the computing terminal 103. Therefore, the computing accuracy can be improved, and the computing process can be performed more efficiently.

[0181] The computing program creates at least one of the design, construction plan, and submission document of the pipeline. By operating the computing terminal 103, at least one of the design, construction plan, and submission document of the pipeline can be created through the computing program controlled and executed by the support server 102. Therefore, the water pipe project can be efficiently carried out.

[0182] [Embodiment 3]

[0183] In Figure 9 FIG. shows a functional block diagram showing the schematic structure of the water pipe project service support system 200 according to Embodiment 3. The difference between the water pipe project service support system 200 according to Embodiment 3 and the water pipe project service support system 1 according to Embodiment 1 is that the support server 202 sends not only the attribute data but also the map display data to the computing terminal 203. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those in Embodiment 1 and the description thereof is omitted, and only the parts different from those in Embodiment 1 are described.

[0184] As Figure 9 shown, the water pipe project service support system 200 includes a support server 202 and a computing terminal 203. The support server 202 and the computing terminal 203 are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

[0185] The operation terminal 203 has the same structure as the operation terminal 3 of Embodiment 1, except that it has a map data processing unit 232. The map data processing unit 232 performs data processing based on the combination of the attribute data and the map display data output from the support server 202, enabling the map display of the attribute data. In addition, the map data processing unit 232 can perform data processing to map-display data other than the attribute data sent from the support server 202 (such as the design information of the pipeline of the water supply pipe, measurement data, analysis data, etc.).

[0186] The support server 202 has the same structure as the support server 2 of Embodiment 1, except that it has a map display data generation unit 224. The map display data generation unit 224 generates map display data including the information required for map display. The map display data generated by the map display data generation unit 224 includes data associated with position coordinates or a map, enabling the map display of the attribute data read by the data processing unit 22. In addition, the data associated with the map includes, for example, data of a topographic map showing roads and houses, etc.

[0187] The map display data generated by the map display data generation unit 224 is output to the data output unit 23.

[0188] The data output unit 23 combines the attribute data obtained by the data processing unit 22 from the storage unit 21 with the map display data as in Embodiment 1 and outputs it to the operation terminal 203.

[0189] Thus, the attribute data can be centrally managed by the support server 202, and the operation terminal 203 can map-display the attribute data as Figure 10 shown. Figure 10 is a diagram schematically showing an example of map-displaying the attribute data M1 to M3. In Figure 10 , the attribute data M1 to M3 are displayed in the dialog box, but for example, the attribute data of the selected part can also be displayed by the selection of the operator of the operation terminal 203.

[0190] According to the structure of this embodiment, information can be easily map-displayed in the operation terminal 203, and the operator of the operation terminal 203 can perform visual processing based on the map-displayed information. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the operation terminal 203 can be efficiently performed in each process of the water supply pipe construction business. Thus, in the water supply pipe construction business, the efficiency of the operations in each process can be realized.

[0191] Figure 11 is a flowchart showing the control method of the water supply pipe construction business support system of this embodiment.

[0192] AsFigure 11 As shown, in the present embodiment, similar to steps S1 and S2 of Embodiment 1, the operation terminal 203 sends the ID information to the support server 202 (step S21), and the data processing unit 22 of the support server 202 reads out the attribute data related to the water pipe construction business stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202 in association with the received ID information according to the received ID information (step S22).

[0193] Next, the support server 202 generates map display data for causing the operation terminal 203 to display a map based on the map data (step S23). This step corresponds to the map display data generation step.

[0194] Then, the data output unit 23 of the support server 202 combines the attribute data read out in step S22 with the map display data generated in step S23, and sends it to the operation terminal 203 via the communication unit 20 (step S24).

[0195] In addition, the generation of the map display data in step S23 can be performed before steps S21 and S22, or can be performed simultaneously with at least one of steps S21 and S22.

[0196] As described above, in addition to the method of Embodiment 1, the control method of the water pipe construction business support system of the present embodiment further has a map display data generation step in which the support server 202 generates map display data for causing the operation terminal 203 to display a map based on the map data. In the attribute data sending step (step S24), the support server 202 combines the attribute data read out in the attribute data reading step (step S22) with the map display data generated in the map display data generation step (step S23) and sends it to the operation terminal 203.

[0197] In addition to the processing performed by the program of Embodiment 1, the program for controlling the water pipe construction business support system of the present embodiment further causes the support server 202 to execute map display data generation processing for generating map display data for causing the operation terminal 203 to display a map based on the map data. In the attribute data sending process, the support server 202 combines the attribute data read out by the attribute data reading process with the map display data generated by the map display data generation process and sends it to the operation terminal 203.

[0198] By the above method or program, when causing the operation terminal 203 to perform map display, the attribute data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal 203 can be output to the operation terminal 203. Therefore, the operation terminal 203 can combine the map display data and the attribute data to perform arithmetic processing. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the operation terminal 203 can be performed efficiently.

[0199] In this embodiment, the data output from the support server 202 in combination with the map display data is not limited to attribute data. For example, it can also be data such as the survey results, design information, construction plan, and construction information described in Embodiment 2. In addition, the support server 202 can also combine the measurement data of maintenance management described later with the map display data and send it to the arithmetic terminal 203.

[0200] (Water pipe maintenance management)

[0201] Use Figure 12 The process shown is used to explain each process in the maintenance management of water pipes, etc. in the water pipe engineering business (hereinafter referred to as water pipe maintenance management).

[0202] In this embodiment, the water pipe maintenance management refers to at least one of the status monitoring, inspection, diagnosis, repair, and renewal planning of water pipes, etc. provided underground, etc. The maintenance management can also include a plurality of the status monitoring, inspection, diagnosis, repair, and renewal planning of water pipes, etc.

[0203] As Figure 12 shown, the water pipe maintenance management includes, for example, the processes of status monitoring, inspection, diagnosis, repair, and renewal planning.

[0204] First, in the status monitoring, sensors, etc. provided on water pipes, etc. are used to monitor the status of the water pipes, etc. (status monitoring in step SB1), and the monitoring results are integrated into the support server 202. The sensors can be provided, for example, on valves. The monitoring results include, for example, measurement results such as water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity, vibration, residual chlorine concentration, and turbidity.

[0205] The monitoring results are stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202 in association with the ID information for identifying at least one of the water supply business entity, water pipe contractor, and water pipe engineering business. Therefore, the monitoring results are centrally managed by the support server 202.

[0206] The monitoring results can be combined with the map display data and sent to the arithmetic terminal 203. Thus, in the arithmetic terminal 203, the monitoring results can be displayed on the map. Therefore, the monitor can easily grasp the monitoring results through the arithmetic terminal 203.

[0207] Furthermore, by controlling pumps or valves, etc. according to the monitoring results, it is possible to achieve the optimization of water utilization such as the adjustment of the optimal water pressure in the pipeline, the adjustment of the water purification plan and the water supply plan, and the optimization of the residual chlorine concentration.

[0208] Next, based on the monitoring results, inspections of water pipes, etc. are carried out (the inspections in step SB2). For example, inspections of valves, etc. and leak inspections of pipelines are carried out. The inspections of valves, etc. and the leak inspections can also be carried out remotely.

[0209] The inspection results of water pipes, etc. are stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202 in association with the ID information. Therefore, the monitoring results are centrally managed by the support server 202.

[0210] The inspection results can also be combined with the map display data and sent to the computing terminal 203. Thus, in the computing terminal 203, the inspection results can be displayed on the map. Therefore, the monitor can easily grasp the inspection results through the computing terminal 203.

[0211] Next, the support server 202 uses the inspection results for diagnosis (the diagnosis in step SB3). The diagnosis includes, for example, at least one of aging diagnosis, tolerance diagnosis for natural disasters, hydraulic and water quality calculations, and comprehensive evaluations corresponding to the importance of these. The aging diagnosis can also, for example, predict the leak accident rate, etc. by adding map information such as topographic maps, geological maps, river maps, soil maps, precipitation maps, etc. to the leak data and pipeline data through machine learning.

[0212] The results of the diagnosis are stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202 in association with the ID information. Therefore, the monitoring results are centrally managed by the support server 202.

[0213] The results of the diagnosis can also be combined with the map display data and sent to the computing terminal 203. Thus, in the computing terminal 203, the results of the diagnosis can be displayed on the map. Therefore, at least one of the water supply utility as the business owner and the water pipe contractor who undertakes water pipe projects can easily grasp the results of the diagnosis through the computing terminal 203.

[0214] Next, based on the results of the diagnosis, repairs are carried out if necessary (the repairs in step SB4). In the repairs, maintenance or renovation of water pipes, valves, etc. is carried out.

[0215] The data related to the repairs is stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202 in association with the ID information. Therefore, the data related to the repairs is centrally managed by the support server 202.

[0216] The data related to the repair can also be combined with the map display data and sent to the operation terminal 203. Thus, in the operation terminal 203, the data related to the repair can be displayed on the map. Therefore, the monitor can easily grasp the data related to the repair through the operation terminal 203.

[0217] Next, based on the result of the diagnosis, an update plan (update plan in step SB5) is created if necessary. In the creation of the update plan, based on at least one of the degree of aging obtained from the diagnosis, the diagnosis of resistance to natural disasters, the calculation of water power and water quality, and the comprehensive evaluation corresponding to the importance thereof, the update order is judged, and the result is used to create the update plan.

[0218] The data related to the update plan is stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202 in association with the ID information. Therefore, the data related to the update plan is centrally managed by the support server 202.

[0219] The data related to the update plan can also be combined with the map display data and sent to the operation terminal 203. Thus, in the operation terminal 203, the data related to the update plan can be displayed on the map. Therefore, the monitor can easily grasp the data related to the update plan through the operation terminal 203.

[0220] In addition, even in the creation of the update plan, as in the case of the water pipe project described above, based on the request signal sent from the operation terminal, the support server generates a control signal for program control and outputs it to the operation terminal. Thus, the operation terminal can create the update plan using necessary extension programs and the like.

[0221] Although not particularly illustrated, in this embodiment, as in Embodiment 2, the support server can also control the operation terminal to use the operation program. In this case, the operation terminal can also perform the processing of each process in the maintenance management of the above water pipe by performing the arithmetic processing of the operation program. For example, the creation of the update plan in the maintenance management of the water pipe can also be performed by an operation program that performs arithmetic processing by the operation terminal. By operating the operation terminal, the operation program controlled and executed by the support server can be used to create the update plan in the maintenance management of the water pipe. Therefore, the water pipe project business can be efficiently carried out.

[0222] In addition, each process such as status monitoring, inspection, and diagnosis in the maintenance management of the water pipe can also be performed by an operation program that performs arithmetic processing by the operation terminal.

[0223] [Embodiment 4]

[0224] InFigure 13 A functional block diagram showing the schematic structure of the water pipe construction business support system 300 according to Embodiment 4 is shown. The difference between the water pipe construction business support system 300 according to Embodiment 4 and the water pipe construction business support system 200 according to Embodiment 3 is that the support server 302 sends the analysis result data to the operation terminal 203 in addition to the attribute data and the map display data. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those in Embodiment 3 and the description thereof is omitted, and only the parts different from those in Embodiment 3 are described.

[0225] As Figure 13 shown, the water pipe construction business support system 300 includes a support server 302, an operation terminal 203, and a water pipe state detection unit 303 (pipe line state detection unit). The support server 302 and the operation terminal 203 are configured to be able to communicate with each other. The water pipe state detection unit 303 detects the state of a water pipe or the like and sends the detection result to the support server 302. The water pipe state detection unit 303 is, for example, a sensor.

[0226] The support server 302 has the same structure as the support server 202 according to Embodiment 3 except that it has a measurement data acquisition unit 325 and an analysis processing unit 326. The measurement data acquisition unit 325 acquires information related to the state of devices such as water pipes and valves from the water pipe state detection unit 303 that detects the state of the water pipes and valves. The information related to the state of the water pipes and valves includes, for example, measurement results such as water pressure, flow direction, flow rate, vibration, leakage sound, residual chlorine concentration, and turbidity.

[0227] The analysis processing unit 326 performs an analysis based on the information acquired by the measurement data acquisition unit 325. Specifically, the analysis processing unit 326 performs an analysis including at least one of aging diagnosis, resistance diagnosis to natural disasters, hydraulic and water quality calculations, and comprehensive evaluation corresponding to the importance thereof, and outputs the analysis result as analysis result data.

[0228] The analysis result data generated by the analysis processing unit 326 is output to the data output unit 23.

[0229] The data output unit 23 combines the attribute data acquired by the data processing unit 22 from the storage unit 21 in the same manner as in Embodiment 1, the map display data generated by the map display data generation unit 224 in the same manner as in Embodiment 3, and also combines the analysis result data, and outputs them to the operation terminal 203.

[0230] Thus, the attribute data can be centrally managed by the support server 302, and the attribute data can be displayed on a map by the computing terminal 203. In addition, the parsing result data can also be displayed on a map by the computing terminal 203.

[0231] Figure 14 FIG. is a diagram schematically showing an example of map display of attribute data M1 to M3 and parsing result data P1 to P3. In Figure 14 this, the attribute data M1 to M3 and the parsing result data P1 to P3 are displayed in a dialog box. In Figure 14 the mapping shown, the part where the parsing result data is greater than the threshold value can be represented by a thick line, or the color of the part can be changed. In addition, in Figure 14 the map shown, the parsing result can also be represented by regions. In addition, map display can also be performed only on one of the attribute data and the parsing result data.

[0232] According to the structure of the present embodiment, in the computing terminal 203, the information displayed on the map can be easily displayed, and the operator of the computing terminal 203 can perform visual processing based on the information displayed on the map. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the computing terminal 203 can be efficiently performed in each process of the water pipe construction work. Thus, in the water pipe construction work, the efficiency of the work in each process can be realized.

[0233] Figure 15 FIG. is a flowchart showing a control method of the water pipe construction work support system according to the present embodiment.

[0234] As Figure 15 shown, in the present embodiment, similarly to steps S1 and S2 of Embodiment 1, the computing terminal 203 sends ID information to the support server 302 (step S31), and the data processing unit 22 of the support server 302 reads, according to the received ID information, the attribute data related to the water pipe construction work stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 302 in association with the ID information (step S32).

[0235] Next, similarly to step S23 of Embodiment 3, the support server 302 generates map display data for causing the computing terminal 203 to display a map based on the map data (step S33).

[0236] Next, the measurement data acquisition unit 325 of the support server 302 acquires information related to the states of devices such as water pipes and valves from the water pipe state detection unit 303 (step S34). In the next step S35, the analysis processing unit 326 of the support server 302 analyzes based on the information acquired by the measurement data acquisition unit 325 to generate analysis result data (step S35).

[0237] Then, the data output unit 23 of the support server 302 combines the attribute data read out in step S32, the map display data generated in step S33, and the analysis result data generated in step S35, and sends them to the arithmetic terminal 203 via the communication unit 20 (step S36).

[0238] In addition, the acquisition of information related to the states of water pipes and the like in step S34 and the generation of analysis result data in step S35 can be performed before steps S32 and S33, or can be performed simultaneously with at least one of steps S32 and S33.

[0239] As described above, the control method of the water pipe engineering service support system according to the present embodiment, in addition to the method of Embodiment 3, further has: a water pipe state acquisition step in which the support server 302 acquires the state of the water pipe (step S34); an analysis result data generation step in which the support server 302 analyzes the acquired state of the water pipe to generate analysis result data related to the water pipe (step S35). In the attribute data sending step (step S36), the support server 302 combines the attribute data read out in the attribute data reading step (step S32), the analysis result data generated in the analysis result data generation step (step S35), and the map display data generated in the map display data generation step (step S33), and sends them to the arithmetic terminal 203.

[0240] The program for controlling the water pipe engineering service support system according to the present embodiment, in addition to the processing performed by the program of Embodiment 3, further causes the support server 302 to execute: a water pipe state acquisition process for acquiring the state of the water pipe; and an analysis result data generation process for analyzing the acquired state of the water pipe to generate analysis result data. In the data sending process, the support server 302 combines the attribute data read out by the attribute data reading process, the analysis result data generated by the analysis result data generation process, and the map display data generated by the map display data generation process, and sends them to the arithmetic terminal 203.

[0241] Through the above methods or procedures, when the operation terminal 203 displays a map, the attribute data and analysis result data associated with the ID information of the operation terminal 203 can be output to the operation terminal 203. Therefore, the operation terminal 203 can combine the map display data, the attribute data, and the analysis result data for arithmetic processing. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the operation terminal 203 can be efficiently performed.
