Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] [Embodiment 1] Various types of construction work, such as construction work, repair work, and demolition work, are being carried out. Construction work includes building construction for buildings and civil engineering construction for structures other than buildings. Building construction includes various types of work such as steel reinforcement work, concrete work, electrical work, plumbing work, finishing work, and roofing work.

[0010] For example, work to improve transportation networks and power distribution networks contributes to realizing high-quality, reliable, sustainable, and disaster-resistant infrastructure that can be used cheaply and fairly by all people, promoting economic development and well-being that emphasizes affordability and fairness, and enabling the use of stable and modern energy at low cost. Work to improve communication networks contributes to enabling everyone to use the Internet at low cost.

[0011] Work to improve water supply and sewerage systems contributes to enabling everyone to access safe water at low cost and to enabling everyone to use toilets. Work to build housing contributes to enabling all people to live in adequate and safe homes at low cost.

[0012] Extending the lifespan of existing buildings and the like through repair work contributes to preventing or reducing waste generation and significantly reducing the amount of waste generated through recycling and reuse. Appropriate demolition work also contributes to preventing or reducing waste generation and significantly reducing the amount of waste generated through recycling and reuse.

[0013] Thus, various types of work are essential for achieving the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), which are the "goals to be achieved by 2030 for humanity to continue living on this planet."

[0014] In any construction work, accidents may occur due to changes in weather conditions, human errors, accidental events, etc. If an accident occurs, human losses, financial losses, and delays in the construction period associated therewith may occur, which may impede the achievement of the SDGs. Therefore, it is desirable to prevent the occurrence of accidents.

[0015] To prevent accidents, various activities are carried out at each construction site to predict the possibility of accidents and take preventive measures. In this embodiment, the activities using the accident prevention card 411 (see Fig. 3) will be described.

[0016] Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the usage method of the accident prevention card 411. The accident prevention card 411 is a card that summarizes the outline of accidents that may occur during construction, images indicating the accidents, and matters to be pointed out for accident prevention, one item per page. A specific example of the accident prevention card 411 will be described later. A plurality of accident prevention cards 411 are recorded in the accident prevention card DB41 on the server 30 (see Fig. 2). The details of the accident prevention card DB41 will also be described later.

[0017] Before starting construction, a process schedule describing the overall plan of the construction is created. The on-site agent checks the process schedule and the actual progress of the construction, and makes corrections to the process schedule and creates a dangerous work contact list 61 (see Fig. 10) for the most recent construction as needed. Here, the dangerous work contact list 61 means a detailed plan for work that is particularly dangerous among the processes. If there is no work that is particularly dangerous, the on-site agent does not have to create the dangerous work contact list 61. The work of creating the dangerous work contact list 61 is an example of the document creation work related to construction.

[0018] The on-site agent uses an information processing device 20 (see Fig. 2), such as a general-purpose personal computer, for checking and correcting the process schedule and creating the dangerous work contact list 61. When creating the dangerous work contact document, the on-site agent searches the accident prevention card DB41, refers to the relevant accident prevention card 411, and prevents overlooking accidents that may occur.

[0019] The on-site agent conveys to the person in charge of the work the communication regarding the work processes to be carried out and the created Hazardous Work Communication Form 61 by utilizing, for example, the communication function of a process management program (omitted in the illustration) or communication means such as general-purpose email. Here, the person in charge of the work is the person responsible for each subdivided construction work at the construction site. At a large-scale construction site, since multiple construction works are carried out in parallel, a person in charge of work is appointed for each construction work. At a small-scale construction site, the on-site agent may also serve as the person in charge of the work.

[0020] The person in charge of the work uses an information processing device 20 that is routinely used, such as a smartphone, to confirm the communication regarding the work processes to be carried out the next day and the Hazardous Work Communication Form 61 created by the on-site agent. The person in charge of the work creates a work instruction sheet 62 (see FIG. 12) that specifically instructs each person in charge of the work about the work content for the next day. The work instruction sheet 62 is created by handwriting, for example, using a prescribed form. The person in charge of the work may also create the work instruction sheet 62 using an information processing device 20 such as a smartphone or a personal computer. The work of creating the work instruction sheet 62 is an example of document creation work related to the construction.

[0021] When creating a hazardous work communication document, the person in charge of the work searches the accident prevention card DB41, refers to the relevant accident prevention card 411, and prevents overlooking possible accidents. Note that the on-site agent may instruct the person in charge of the work to definitely refer to the accident prevention card 411.

[0022] The person in charge of the work selects the accident prevention card 411 to be used in regular meetings such as morning meetings. On the day of the construction work, multiple meetings such as an overall meeting and meetings divided by each construction site in charge are held at the construction site, and information sharing and confirmation of precautions are carried out.

[0023] The person in charge of work shall inform the participants of the work items for the day and the items described in the Dangerous Work Contact Form 61 at the meeting of the team for which the person is in charge. The person in charge of work shall display the pre-selected accident prevention card 411 on, for example, the display unit 26 (see Fig. 2) of a smartphone. While showing the accident prevention card 411 to the participants, the person in charge of work shall give a warning to prevent similar accidents from occurring.

[0024] Since the accident prevention card 411 includes an image indicating an accident and an item for pointing and naming, each person in charge of work can understand the key points in a short time and reflect them in subsequent construction work. If questions or comments are made by the person in charge of work, the person in charge of work shall operate the information processing device 20 to select an appropriate accident prevention card 411 from the accident prevention card DB 41 and display it on the display unit 26, and give additional explanations to the person in charge of work. The person in charge of work may display the disaster case screen 54 (see Fig. 7) described later on the display unit 26 and explain specific cases.

[0025] Since the person in charge of work can select an appropriate accident prevention card 411 from the accident prevention card DB 41 even during a meeting at the construction site, effective warnings can be given in a short time to prevent accidents.

[0026] An accident prevention card application, which is application software used to search the accident prevention card DB 41, is installed in the information processing devices 20 used by the on-site agent and the person in charge of work respectively. The accident prevention card application preferably has a so-called bookmark function of storing the accident prevention card 411 selected by the user and quickly displaying the same accident prevention card 411 later.

[0027] More preferably, the accident prevention card application has a so-called offline display function of storing the accident prevention card 411 selected by the user in the auxiliary storage device 33 (see Fig. 2) of the information processing device 20 so that it can be displayed even in a place where it cannot be connected to the network.

[0028] The function of the accident prevention card application may be provided as a so-called web application that does not require installation on the information processing device 20. The user can use the function of the accident prevention card application by starting a browser and accessing a specified URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

[0029] In the following description, the case where users such as on-site agents and work supervisors use the information processing device 20 on which the accident prevention card application has been installed will be described as an example. Since authentication processes such as input of ID (Identifier) and password when starting the accident prevention card application are generally used conventionally, the description thereof will be omitted.

[0030] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration of the information processing system 10. The information processing system 10 includes a server 30 and a plurality of information processing devices 20 connected via a network.

[0031] The server 30 includes a control unit 31, a main storage device 32, an auxiliary storage device 33, a communication unit 34, and a bus. The control unit 31 is an arithmetic control device that executes the program of the present embodiment. One or more CPUs (Central Processing Unit), GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit), or multi-core CPUs, etc. are used for the control unit 31. The control unit 31 is connected to each hardware part constituting the server 30 via a bus.

[0032] The main storage device 32 is a storage device such as SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), or flash memory. Information necessary during the processing performed by the control unit 31 and the program being executed by the control unit 31 are temporarily stored in the main storage device 32.

[0033] The auxiliary storage device 33 is a storage device such as an SRAM, a flash memory, a hard disk, or a magnetic tape. In the auxiliary storage device 33, an accident prevention card DB41, a process schedule DB42, a program to be executed by the control unit 31, and various data necessary for the execution of the program are stored.

[0034] The accident prevention card DB41 and the process schedule DB42 may be stored in an external large-capacity storage device connected to the server 30. Copies of the accident prevention card DB41 and the process schedule DB42 are stored in individual auxiliary storage devices 23, and synchronization with the accident prevention card DB41 and the process schedule DB42 stored in the auxiliary storage device 33 may be performed as appropriate. Since DB synchronization via a network has been conventionally performed, the description thereof is omitted. The communication unit 34 is an interface for performing communication between the server 30 and the network.

[0035] The server 30 is, for example, a mainframe computer or a virtual machine operating on a mainframe computer. The server 30 may be configured by a combination of a plurality of personal computers performing distributed processing, or a cloud computing system and a terminal device. The server 30 may be a general-purpose personal computer, a tablet, or a smartphone, etc.

[0036] The information processing apparatus 20 includes a control unit 21, a main storage device 22, an auxiliary storage device 23, a communication unit 24, an input unit 25, a display unit 26, and a bus. The control unit 21 is an arithmetic control device that executes the program of the present embodiment. One or more CPUs, GPUs, or multi-core CPUs, etc. are used for the control unit 21. The control unit 21 is connected to each hardware part constituting the information processing apparatus 20 via a bus.

[0037] The main storage device 22 is a storage device such as an SRAM, a DRAM, or a flash memory. In the main storage device 22, information necessary during the processing performed by the control unit 21 and the program being executed by the control unit 21 are temporarily stored.

[0038] The auxiliary storage device 23 is a storage device such as an SRAM, a flash memory, a hard disk, or a magnetic tape. Programs to be executed by the control unit 21 and various data necessary for the execution of the programs are stored in the auxiliary storage device 23. The communication unit 24 is an interface for performing communication between the information processing device 20 and a network.

[0039] The display unit 26 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL (electro-luminescence) panel. The input unit 25 is, for example, a touch sensor and is laminated with the display unit 26 to form a touch panel. The input unit 25 may be a keyboard, a mouse, or a trackball. When the information processing device 20 is capable of receiving voice input, the input unit 25 may be a microphone and the display unit 26 may be a speaker.

[0040] The information processing device 20 is an information device such as a personal computer, a tablet, or a smartphone used by a field agent, a work supervisor, etc. The information processing device 20 may be a so-called client-type terminal device used in a state connected to the server 30. The display unit 26 may be a large-screen display for digital signage arranged at a construction site and may be set to display a screen based on an instruction from the control unit 21.

[0041] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the record layout of the accident prevention card DB41. The accident prevention card DB41 has a card ID field, a card field, a classification field, and a case field.

[0042] The card ID field records the card ID uniquely assigned to each accident prevention card 411. The card field records the accident prevention card 411. The accident prevention card 411 is recorded in the form of, for example, a PDF (Portable Document Format) file with character information or an HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) file. The accident prevention card 411 may also be recorded in the file storage format of the application software used to create the accident prevention card 411, such as word processing software or presentation software.

[0043] The accident prevention card 411 may also be recorded in the form of an image file such as PNG (Portable Network Graphics) or JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). When the accident prevention card 411 is recorded in image format, it is desirable for the accident prevention card DB41 to have a field for recording the text displayed on each accident prevention card 411.

[0044] The classification field records the classification assigned to each accident prevention card 411. The case field records the case ID assigned to an actually occurred case similar to the accident described in each accident prevention card 411. The "-" in the case field means that there is no similar case.

[0045] Each case is summarized in a disaster case sheet described later. The disaster case sheet is recorded in a disaster case DB with the case ID associated, and the illustration is omitted. Note that the disaster case sheet itself may be recorded in the accident prevention card DB41 instead of the case ID.

[0046] The accident prevention card 411 recorded on the card field will be described. At the top of the accident prevention card 411, the type of accident is displayed in prominent characters such as "Falling / Tripping". On the second line of the accident prevention card 411, an accident summary 412 is displayed, which briefly summarizes the accident content and the damage situation, such as "Falling / Tripping from a stepladder severely" and "Falling severely through the opening shoring material (board)".

[0047] In the left area of the accident prevention card 411, an accident image 413 that clearly shows the situation of the accident with illustrations or the like is displayed. The accident image 413 may be a short video recorded in, for example, GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) animation format or MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group) format.

[0048] In the right area of the accident prevention card 411, a finger-pointing designation item 414 surrounded by a thick frame is displayed. Below the finger-pointing designation item 414, an illustration representing finger-pointing and the characters "Finger-pointing designation!!!" are displayed, emphasizing that the matters displayed in the finger-pointing designation item 414 must be finger-pointed and designated at the site.

[0049] At the bottom of the accident prevention card 411, a text that impresses the importance of accident prevention with strong expressions, such as "You won't fall, right!!!", or "Who is the person in charge of the work!!!", is displayed. In the lower right corner of the accident prevention card 411, the card ID assigned to the accident prevention card 411 is recorded.

[0050] On the accident prevention card 411 of "A02", the number of the work procedure manual corresponding to the work, "Work procedure manual I-3", is displayed below the card ID. Since there is no work procedure manual corresponding to the work on the accident prevention card 411 of "A04", the number of the work procedure manual is not described.

[0051] Figure 4 is an example of the main menu screen 51. The main menu screen 51 is the screen that the control unit 21 first displays on the display unit 26 when the accident prevention card application is launched. In the central part of the main menu screen 51, a keyword search button 511 and a work classification search button 512 are arranged. A help button 518 and an end button 519 are arranged in the upper right part of the main menu screen 51.

[0052] When the user searches for the accident prevention card 411 using a keyword, the user selects the keyword search button 511. When the user searches for the accident prevention card 411 using the work classification, the user selects the work classification search button 512. When the user ends the accident prevention card application, the user selects the end button 519. When the control unit 21 accepts the selection of the end button 519, the control unit 21 ends the accident prevention card application.

[0053] When the user wants to check the usage method of the accident prevention card application, the user selects the help button 518. When the control unit 21 accepts the selection of the help button 518, the control unit 21 displays a help screen (not shown in the figure).

[0054] Figure 5 is an example of the keyword search screen 52. When the control unit 21 accepts the selection of the keyword search button 511 on the main menu screen 51 described with reference to Figure 4, the control unit 21 displays the keyword search screen 52.

[0055] In the upper right part of the keyword search screen 52, a return button 558 is arranged. In the upper left part of the keyword search screen 52, a keyword field 521 is arranged. At the right end of the keyword field 521, a delete button 522 is arranged. Below the keyword field 521, an accident prevention card field 551 is arranged in a horizontal row. In the accident prevention card field 551, the accident prevention cards 411 extracted from the accident prevention card DB 41 based on the keyword input in the keyword field 521 are displayed. Below each accident prevention card field 551, the same text as the accident summary 412 described with reference to Figure 3 is displayed in an easy-to-read font size.

[0056] Below the accident summary 412, a disaster case column 552 is displayed. Details of the disaster case column 552 will be described later. A horizontal scroll bar 553 is displayed at the bottom of the keyword search screen 52. Arrows are displayed at both ends of the horizontal scroll bar 553, and a knob is displayed between the two arrows. When the number of accident prevention cards 411 extracted based on the keyword is large, the knob is short, and when it is small, the knob is long.

[0057] When the control unit 21 receives an operation by the user to move the knob left or right, the control unit 21 scrolls the lower area of the accident prevention card column 551 left and right. When the input unit 25 and the display unit 26 constitute a touch panel, when the user moves the finger that touched the lower area of the accident prevention card column 551 left and right, the control unit 21 also scrolls the lower area of the accident prevention card column 551 left and right.

[0058] When the control unit 21 receives a selection of the return button 558 by the user, the control unit 21 returns to the main menu screen 51 described with reference to FIG. 4.

[0059] The user inputs a keyword to be searched in the keyword column 521. When the user wants to delete the keyword already input in the keyword column 521, the user selects the delete button 522. When the control unit 21 receives the selection of the delete button 522, the control unit 21 returns the keyword column 521 to the uninput state. The keyword input in the keyword column 521 is an example of search information for searching the accident prevention card 411.

[0060] The control unit 21 performs so-called instant search, which extracts the accident prevention card 411 including the keyword input in the keyword column 521 from the accident prevention card DB 41 at any time and displays it in real time in the accident prevention card column 551. The control unit 21 extracts the case ID from the case field of the record in which the currently displayed accident prevention card 411 is recorded.

[0061] Incidentally, the control unit 21 may perform a so-called similarity search in which it obtains synonyms of the keyword entered in the keyword field 521 from a thesaurus (illustration omitted), and extracts accident prevention cards 411 that include the keyword or synonyms from the accident prevention card DB 41. The control unit 21 may perform a so-called fuzzy search that allows for variations in the notation of the keyword entered in the keyword field 521.

[0062] The control unit 21 extracts a disaster case sheet corresponding to the case ID from a case DB (illustration omitted), and displays a thumbnail in the disaster case field 552. The control unit 21 extracts words indicating the degree of disaster such as "severe" or "minor" from the disaster case sheet, and displays them above the thumbnail, such as "Disaster case · Severe".

[0063] In the present embodiment, the control unit 21 displays thumbnails of up to two disaster case fields 552 below each accident prevention card field 551. When three or more disaster case sheets are extracted, the control unit 21 randomly selects, for example, the disaster case sheets to be displayed. Incidentally, the control unit 21 may arrange one or fewer or three or more disaster case fields 552 below the accident prevention card field 551.

[0064] FIG. 6 is an example of a work classification search screen 53. When the control unit 21 receives a selection of the work classification search button 512 on the main menu screen 51 described with reference to FIG. 4, the control unit 21 displays the work classification search screen 53.

[0065] A return button 558 is displayed in the upper right part of the work classification search screen 53. A classification selection field 531 is arranged below the title part of the work classification search screen 53. A plurality of buttons indicating work classifications are lined up in the classification selection field 531. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the buttons lined up in the classification selection field 531 are in the form of radio buttons that accept the selection of only one button. The classification selection field 531 may be in the form of check boxes that accept the selection of a plurality of buttons. Information regarding the button selected in the classification selection field 531 is an example of search information for searching the accident prevention card 411.

[0066] Below the classification selection column 531, an accident prevention card column 551 is arranged horizontally in a row. In the accident prevention card column 551, accident prevention cards 411 extracted from the accident prevention card DB41 based on the work classification selected in the classification selection column 531 are displayed. Below each accident prevention card column 551, the same text as the accident outline 412 described using FIG. 3 is displayed in a font size that is easy to read. Note that as exemplified in the rightmost accident prevention card column 551, when there are multiple revisions, that is, revised versions, in the accident prevention card columns 551 of the same item, the revision number may be added after the same text as the accident outline 412.

[0067] Below the same text as the accident outline 412, a disaster case column 552 is displayed. A horizontal scroll bar 553 is displayed below the disaster case column 552. Since the disaster case column 552, the horizontal scroll bar 553, and the return button 558 are the same as those of the keyword search screen 52 described using FIG. 5, the description is omitted.

[0068] FIGS. 7 and 8 are examples of the disaster case screen 54. When the control unit 21 receives a selection of the disaster case column 552 on the keyword search screen 52 described using FIG. 5 or the work classification search screen 53 described using FIG. 6, the control unit 21 displays a disaster case screen 54 that enlarges and displays the disaster case sheet thumbnail displayed in the selected disaster case column 552.

[0069] The disaster case sheet is surrounded by a rounded rectangle frame. Above the frame, the type of disaster such as "falling" is arranged. In the first row inside the frame, the outline of the accident and the damage situation are briefly described, such as "Walking on the ceiling panel, falling from the opening! [Severe]". In the second row, the specific injury status is specifically described.

[0070] In the approximate left half of the disaster case sheet, "Occurrence Situation", "Disaster Cause", "Measures to Prevent Recurrence", and "Related Laws and Regulations" are each enclosed in a rounded rectangle and described. In the approximate right half of the disaster case sheet, diagrams, photographs, etc. that explain the situation of the accident are arranged. At the lower right of the disaster case sheet, the case ID is described like "H24-9".

[0071] Note that on the keyword search screen 52, the work classification search screen 53, and the disaster case screen 54, help buttons 518 and end buttons 519 may also be arranged in the same way as on the main menu screen 51.

[0072] The usage method of the accident prevention card application will be explained. Users such as on-site agents and work supervisors operate the input unit 25 to instruct the activation of the accident prevention card application. The control unit 21 activates the accident prevention card application and displays the main menu screen 51 on the display unit 26.

[0073] The user selects the keyword search button 511 or the work classification search button 512 according to the search method to be used. The case where the user selects the keyword search button 511 will be explained. The control unit 21 displays the keyword search screen 52 on the display unit 26. The user inputs a keyword in the keyword field 521. The control unit 21 transmits the input keyword to the server 30 at any time.

[0074] The control unit 31 performs a full-text search of the card fields of the accident prevention card DB 41 using the received keyword as a key, and extracts records in which the keyword is included in the accident prevention card 411. The control unit 31 transmits the accident prevention card 411 recorded in the card field of the extracted record to the information processing device 20.

[0075] The control unit 31 searches the disaster case DB using the case ID recorded in the case field of the extracted record as a key, and extracts the disaster case sheet. The control unit 31 transmits the extracted disaster case sheet to the information processing device 20.

[0076] The control unit 21 displays the received accident prevention card 411 in the accident prevention card column 551 and displays the disaster case sheet in the disaster case column 552. Here, the control unit 21 arranges the accident prevention cards 411 in order from left to right, for example, in the order received from the server 30. The control unit 21 may arrange the accident prevention cards 411 in the order of the number of times the keyword is detected.

[0077] The control unit 21 may arrange the accident prevention cards 411 so that, for example, the accident prevention cards 411 not selected by the user within the past few days are on the right side. The control unit 21 may not display the accident prevention cards 411 selected by the user within the past few days, for example, on the display unit 26. An information processing system 10 can be provided that allows the user to easily notice the accident prevention cards 411 that they have not selected recently.

[0078] When the user is adding characters to the keyword column 521, the control unit 31 may omit the search of the disaster case DB and repeatedly perform a narrowed-down search of the accident prevention card DB 41. By omitting the search of the disaster case DB while the user is continuing to input to the keyword column 521, an information processing system 10 with a smooth response to instance search can be realized.

[0079] The user browses the extracted accident prevention cards 411 while performing a horizontal scroll. The accident prevention card application may have a so-called bookmark function of recording the selected accident prevention card 411 when it receives a specific operation such as a double click or a long tap on the accident prevention card column 551.

[0080] When receiving the user's selection of the disaster case column 552, the control unit 21 displays the disaster case sheet corresponding to the selected disaster case column 552 on the disaster case screen 54. When receiving a specific operation such as a double click or a swipe, for example, the control unit 21 redisplay the keyword search screen 52.

[0081] Users such as on-site agents and work supervisors can understand the actual cases that occurred in the past by viewing the disaster case sheets associated with the accident prevention card 411. By understanding specific cases, a risk operation contact form 61 or a work instruction sheet 62 including effective accident prevention measures can be created. Also, by raising awareness and providing explanations to the workers in charge after understanding specific cases, the persuasiveness can be enhanced and a highly effective accident prevention meeting can be conducted.

[0082] Similarly, when the control unit 21 receives the selection of the accident prevention card column 551 by the user, the control unit 21 may display the accident prevention card 411 corresponding to the selected accident prevention card column 551 in full screen.

[0083] When the control unit 21 receives the selection of the return button 558 by the user, the control unit 21 displays the main menu screen 51 on the display unit 26.

[0084] The case where the user selects the work classification search button 512 will be described. The control unit 21 displays the work classification search screen 53 on the display unit 26. The user selects the classification to search from the classification selection column 531. The control unit 21 transmits the selected classification to the server 30 as needed.

[0085] The control unit 31 searches the classification field of the accident prevention card DB 41 using the received classification as a key and extracts records. The control unit 31 transmits the accident prevention card 411 recorded in the card field of the extracted records to the information processing device 20. Since the subsequent processing is the same as the case where the keyword search button 511 is selected on the main menu screen 51, the description is omitted.

[0086] Figure 9 is a flowchart for explaining the processing flow of the program. When the control unit 21 receives an instruction to start the accident prevention card application, the control unit 21 starts the program described using Figure 9.

[0087] The control unit 21 displays the main menu screen 51 described with reference to FIG. 4 on the display unit 26 (step S601). The control unit 21 determines whether it has received a selection of the keyword search button 511 or the work classification search button 512 (step S602).

[0088] If it is determined that the selection of the keyword search button 511 has been received (keyword in step S602), the control unit 21 displays the keyword search screen 52 on the display unit 26 (step S603). The control unit 21 receives an input of a keyword into the keyword field 521 (step S604). The control unit 21 transmits the received keyword to the server 30 (step S605).

[0089] The control unit 31 performs a full-text search of the card fields of the accident prevention card DB 41 using the received keyword as a key, and extracts records in which the keyword is included in the accident prevention card 411. The control unit 31 transmits the accident prevention card 411 recorded in the card field of the extracted record to the information processing apparatus 20. The control unit 21 receives the accident prevention card 411 (step S606).

[0090] The control unit 31 searches the disaster case DB using the case ID recorded in the case field of the extracted record as a key, and extracts the disaster case sheet. The control unit 31 transmits the extracted disaster case sheet to the information processing apparatus 20. The control unit 21 receives the disaster case sheet (step S607). The control unit 21 displays the received accident prevention card 411 in the accident prevention card field 551. The control unit 21 displays the received disaster case sheet in the disaster case field 552 (step S608).

[0091] The control unit 21 determines whether to end the acceptance of input to the keyword field 521 (step S609). For example, when the user performs an operation other than keyword input to the keyword field 521 and selection of the delete button 522, the control unit 21 determines to end the acceptance of input to the keyword field 521. If it is determined not to end the acceptance of input to the keyword field 521 (NO in step S609), the control unit 21 returns to step S604.

[0092] When it is determined that the selection of the work classification search button 512 has been received (work classification in step S602), the control unit 21 displays the work classification search screen 53 on the display unit 26 (step S613). The control unit 21 accepts the selection of the button arranged in the classification selection field 531 (step S614). The control unit 21 transmits the classification corresponding to the selected button to the server 30 (step S615).

[0093] The control unit 31 searches the classification field of the accident prevention card DB 41 using the received classification as a key and extracts records. The control unit 31 transmits the accident prevention card 411 recorded in the card field of the extracted record to the information processing apparatus 20. The control unit 21 receives the accident prevention card 411 (step S616).

[0094] The control unit 31 searches the disaster case DB using the case ID recorded in the case field of the extracted record as a key and extracts the disaster case sheet. The control unit 31 transmits the extracted disaster case sheet to the information processing apparatus 20. The control unit 21 receives the disaster case sheet (step S617). The control unit 21 displays the received accident prevention card 411 in the accident prevention card field 551. The control unit 21 displays the received disaster case sheet in the disaster case field 552 (step S618).

[0095] The control unit 21 determines whether to end the acceptance of selection of the classification selection field 531 (step S619). For example, when the user performs an operation other than selection of the button arranged in the classification selection field 531, the control unit 21 determines to end the acceptance of selection of the classification selection field 531.

[0096] When it is determined that the acceptance of the input to the keyword field 521 has ended (YES in step S609), or when it is determined that the acceptance of the selection in the classification selection field 531 has ended (YES in step S619), the control unit 21 determines whether the selection of the disaster case field 552 has been accepted (step S620). When it is determined that the acceptance of the selection in the disaster case field 552 has not ended (NO in step S619), the control unit 21 returns to step S614.

[0097] When it is determined that the selection of the disaster case field 552 has been accepted (YES in step S620), the control unit 21 displays the disaster case sheet corresponding to the selected disaster case field 552 on the disaster case screen 54 (step S621). For example, when a specific operation such as a double click or a swipe is accepted, the control unit 21 returns to the screen that was being displayed before the selection of the disaster case field 552 was accepted.

[0098] When it is determined that the selection of the disaster case field 552 has not been accepted (NO in step S620), or after the end of step S621, the control unit 21 determines whether to end the process (step S622). For example, when the user does not perform a predetermined time operation, when the end button 519 is selected, or when an end instruction is given using the right click menu or the like, the control unit 21 determines to end the process.

[0099] When it is determined not to end the process (NO in step S622), the control unit 21 returns to step S620. When it is determined to end the process (YES in step S622), the control unit 21 ends the process. Although the description of the flowchart is omitted, when it is determined that the selection of the help button 518 has been accepted, the control unit 21 displays a help screen on the display unit 26.

[0100] Figure 10 is an example of a screen during the creation of the dangerous work contact form 61. The on-site agent displays on the left side of the display unit 26 the screen of document creation software such as spreadsheet software or word processing software used for creating the dangerous work contact form 61, and displays on the right side of the screen the screen of the accident prevention card application.

[0101] On the screen of the document creation software, a horizontal scroll bar 553 and a vertical scroll bar 554 are displayed. On the screen of the accident prevention card application, a horizontal scroll bar 553 is displayed. While creating the dangerous work contact form 61, the on-site agent appropriately refers to the accident prevention card application to confirm the work that requires attention.

[0102] According to this embodiment, an information processing system 10 can be provided that allows construction-related personnel to refer to the accident prevention card 411 on various occasions, such as when creating the dangerous work contact form 61, when creating the work instruction sheet 62, and during meetings. By repeatedly referring to the accident prevention card 411, the user can master the matters necessary for accident prevention.

[0103] Since the accident prevention card 411 can be searched for and displayed during meetings held at the site, such as morning meetings, the user can show the accident prevention card 411 to work personnel such as subcontractors and grand subcontractors, and reliably convey the precautions for accident prevention. For example, when the user discovers a work personnel who has not ensured sufficient safety, the user can use the accident prevention card application of this embodiment to extract the appropriate accident prevention card 411 and disaster case sheets and provide them to the safety managers of each work, so as to also utilize it for the guidance of the safety managers to the work personnel.

[0104] [Embodiment 2] This embodiment relates to an information processing system 10 that automatically displays the relevant accident prevention card 411 during the creation of documents such as the dangerous work contact form 61. Descriptions of the parts common to Embodiment 1 are omitted.

[0105] FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the processing flow of the program according to Embodiment 2. In the present embodiment, the user activates both document creation software for creating a document such as the hazardous work contact form 61 illustrated in FIG. 10 and the accident prevention card application according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 11.

[0106] The control unit 21 acquires the document being created by the user from the document creation software (step S641). The control unit 21 extracts keywords from the acquired document (step S642). The extracted keywords are examples of keywords extracted from the progress of the document creation work related to the construction work.

[0107] Specifically, for example, the control unit 21 extracts a word that matches the keyword list recorded in the auxiliary storage device 23 in advance from the document being created. The control unit 21 may perform morphological analysis on the document being created and extract words. The control unit 21 transmits the extracted keywords to the server 30 (step S643).

[0108] The control unit 31 performs a full-text search of the card fields of the accident prevention card DB 41 using the received keywords as keys, and extracts records in which the accident prevention card 411 contains the keywords. The control unit 31 transmits the accident prevention card 411 recorded in the card field of the extracted record to the information processing device 20. The control unit 21 receives the accident prevention card 411 (step S644).

[0109] The control unit 31 searches the disaster case DB using the case ID recorded in the case field of the extracted record as a key, and extracts a disaster case sheet. The control unit 31 transmits the extracted disaster case sheet to the information processing device 20. The control unit 21 receives the disaster case sheet (step S645).

[0110] The control unit 21 displays the received accident prevention card 411 and the disaster case sheet in the same layout as the keyword search screen 52 described using FIG. 5 for example (step S646). The control unit 21 determines whether to end the process (step S647). For example, when the user finishes creating a document, the control unit 21 determines to end the process.

[0111] When it is determined not to end the process (NO in step S647), the control unit 21 returns to step S641. When it is determined to end the process (YES in step S647), the control unit 21 ends the process.

[0112] According to the present embodiment, an information processing system 10 can be realized in which a highly relevant accident prevention card 411 is automatically displayed during the creation of a document such as the dangerous work contact list 61. Since the user does not need to input keywords himself / herself, the document creation work can be performed efficiently.

[0113] Note that the control unit 21 may acquire the description regarding the process scheduled for a specific date from the process schedule describing the schedule of the entire construction, and transmit the accident prevention card 411 extracted from the accident prevention card DB 41 based on the acquired keywords to the on-site agent or the like. For example, an information processing system 10 that notifies an appropriate accident prevention card 411 can be provided before the on-site agent starts creating the dangerous work contact list 61.

[0114] [Embodiment 3] This embodiment relates to an information processing system 10 that creates a work instruction sheet 62 to which a bar code enabling the browsing of an accident prevention card 411 is attached. The description of the parts common to Embodiment 1 will be omitted.

[0115] FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the usage method of the accident prevention card 411 according to Embodiment 3. The process until the worker creates the work instruction sheet 62 and selects the accident prevention card 411 to be used in regular meetings such as morning meetings is the same as that of Embodiment 1 described with reference to FIG. 1, so the description is omitted. However, in this embodiment, the worker uses an information processing device 20 such as a smartphone or a personal computer to create the work instruction sheet 62.

[0116] The worker prints the work instruction sheet 62. The work instruction sheet 62 is provided with a barcode 621 used when viewing the accident prevention card 411 selected by the worker. The barcode 621 is, for example, a two-dimensional barcode or a one-dimensional barcode.

[0117] The worker copies the work instruction sheet 62, for example, the number of workers in charge of the work, and distributes it at the meeting. The worker may print the work instruction sheet 62 on a larger sheet of paper and show it to the workers in charge during the meeting. The worker in charge takes a picture of the barcode 621 with his / her smartphone or the like and views the accident prevention card 411. The worker confirms that each worker in charge is looking at the accident prevention card 411 and gives a warning about the work.

[0118] According to this embodiment, the worker in charge can view the accident prevention card 411 using his / her own smartphone or the like. The worker in charge can re-check the contents of the accident prevention card 411 using the smartphone immediately before the actual work and then start the work. Therefore, the information processing system 10 that can more effectively prevent accidents can be provided.

[0119] [Embodiment 4] This embodiment relates to an information processing system 10 that distributes the work instruction sheet 62 and the accident prevention card 411 to each worker in charge. The description of the parts common to Embodiment 3 is omitted.

[0120] FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a method of using the accident prevention card 411 according to the fourth embodiment. The process up to the step where the work supervisor creates the work instruction sheet 62 and selects the accident prevention card 411 to be used in a regular meeting such as a morning meeting is the same as that of the third embodiment described with reference to FIG. 12, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

[0121] On the morning of the construction work day, the control unit 21 distributes the work instruction sheet 62 and the accident prevention card 411 selected by the work supervisor to each worker via an arbitrary communication tool such as email or SNS (Social Networking Service). The distribution target may be the file of the document itself or a link for accessing the document.

[0122] The worker browses the work instruction sheet 62 and the accident prevention card 411 in advance using a smartphone or the like. Then, the worker participates in a meeting such as a morning meeting.

[0123] According to the present embodiment, since the worker can confirm the work instruction sheet 62 and the accident prevention card 411 in advance, the information processing system 10 that can efficiently hold a meeting can be provided. For example, even at a site where an operator of heavy machinery performs work by remote operation from home or the like, the information processing system 10 that can reliably share information regarding the work instruction sheet 62 and the accident prevention card 411 can be provided.

[0124] [Embodiment 5] The present embodiment relates to an information processing system 10 that causes an AI (Artificial Intelligence) to create a draft of a speech to be given by a site supervisor or the like at a meeting such as a morning meeting. The description of the parts common to the first embodiment is omitted.

[0125] FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a method of using the accident prevention card 411 according to Embodiment 5. The process up to the step where the work supervisor creates the work instruction sheet 62 and selects the accident prevention card 411 to be used in a regular meeting such as a morning meeting is the same as that of Embodiment 3 described with reference to FIG. 12, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

[0126] The control unit 21 receives an instruction regarding a prompt to be input to the generation AI system from the work operator. The control unit 21 transmits the prompt to the generation AI system via the network.

[0127] The prompt includes information such as the progress status of the construction, an explanation of the processes scheduled for the day, the work instruction sheet 62, the selected accident prevention card 411, and the profile of each work operator, and an instruction regarding the draft to be output. The profile of the work operator includes, for example, the number of years of experience, past accidents involved, qualifications held, and the work scheduled to be in charge of on the day.

[0128] The instruction regarding the draft to be output is, for example, "a one-minute conversation to liven up the atmosphere at the morning meeting in a conversational style", or "a list of the key points of a two-minute explanation in which the items described on the accident prevention card are arranged according to the work schedule for the day", etc.

[0129] The generation AI system creates a draft based on the input information and transmits it to the information processing apparatus 20 via the network. The control unit 21 displays the received draft on the display unit 26. The work supervisor uses the draft to draw the attention of the work operators at the meeting.

[0130] According to the present embodiment, even a work supervisor who is prone to nervousness when speaking in front of people or a work supervisor with little experience can smoothly conduct the meeting using the draft created by the generation AI system. Therefore, an information processing system 10 can be provided that can appropriately convey information to the work operators in an orderly manner and prevent accidents.

[0131] [Embodiment 6] FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration of the information processing system 10 according to Embodiment 6.

Further, the control unit 31 may read out the program 97 stored in a semiconductor memory 98 such as a flash memory mounted in the server computer 90. Furthermore, the control unit 31 may download the program 97 from a server computer (not shown) connected via the communication unit 34 and a network (not shown) and store it in the auxiliary storage device 33.

[0134] The program 97 is installed as a control program of the server computer 90, loaded into the main storage device 32, and executed. The control unit 31 transmits, to each information processing device 20 via the network, the part of the program 97 that is executed by the control unit 21. The transmitted program is installed as a control program of the information processing device 20, loaded into the control unit 21, and executed. Thus, the information processing system 10 described in Embodiment 1 is realized.

[0135] The program 97 may be downloaded from a server computer (not shown) connected via the network and installed as a control program of the information processing device 20.

[0136] The program is an example of a program product. A computer program can be deployed to be executed on a single computer, or placed at one site, or distributed across multiple sites and executed on multiple computers interconnected by a communication network.
