Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a server and an inspection work support system. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, management systems that digitize and manage information have been used. Patent Document 1 describes a management system that utilizes 3D scanning measurement data as current status data in the maintenance and management of various structures such as road structures, and describes an electronic ledger system for structure management that creates and displays various drawings of the entire structure and each part and other management information based on 3D data measured by 3D scanning of the structure and other management data.

[0003] Meanwhile, various inspection tasks also use management systems that digitize and manage information. Inspection tasks for inspection targets involve a manager who manages the inspection tasks and workers who inspect the targets at the inspection site. The manager manages the inspection tasks by checking the electronic forms containing the inspection results in the office. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-146614 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Since managers generally do not visit the inspection site of the inspection object, they do not have much knowledge about the inspection object, and it is difficult for them to get an image of the inspection site just by looking at the electronic form in which the inspection results of the inspection object are entered.For this reason, when a manager looks at the electronic form in which the inspection results of the inspection object are entered and thinks there is an abnormality or problem, he or she first looks for information that will give him or her an image of the inspection object.

[0006] In this case, the manager has to search for information that will give an image of the inspection target from documents that contain the details of the inspection target, which is time-consuming. For this reason, there is a need for technology that can quickly obtain information to get an image of the inspection target based on electronic forms that contain the inspection results of the inspection target.

[0007] However, the technology of the electronic ledger system for managing structures described in Patent Document 1 cannot meet the demands of inspection work such as those described above.

[0008] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above, and aims to provide a server that can reduce the user's workload and quickly provide information about inspection targets. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objectives, the server disclosed herein includes an inspection result table creation unit that creates an inspection result table into which information on the inspection results of the inspection object is input, and a link processing unit that associates the inspection result table with additional information, which is information indicating details of the inspection object, and creates a linked inspection result table in which a link to the additional information is attached. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to reduce the user's effort and quickly provide information about the inspection target. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The server and the inspection work support system according to the embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0013] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of an inspection work support system according to a first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the inspection work support system 1 according to the first embodiment includes a server 2, a management terminal device 3, and a mobile terminal device 4, and supports inspection work for an inspection target 7 such as a facility or equipment. The inspection target 7 is a facility or equipment. Examples of the facility include a building, a water purification plant, a drainage pumping station, a plant, or a factory. Examples of the equipment include, but are not limited to, a generator, an air conditioner, or a pump.

[0014] The server 2, the plurality of management terminal devices 3, and the mobile terminal device 4 are communicably connected via a network 5. The network 5 includes, for example, a WAN (Wide Area Network) such as the Internet, a mobile communication network, and the like.

[0015] The server 2 is an inspection work support server that supports inspection work for an inspection target 7, and is a server constructed in a cloud environment 6. The cloud environment 6 includes computer resources provided in a cloud service platform. The cloud service platform is provided by a cloud service provider and includes, for example, PaaS (Platform as a Service). Because the server 2 is constructed in the cloud environment 6, it is sometimes called a cloud server.

[0016] The management terminal device 3 is, for example, a terminal device such as a tablet PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a desktop PC, or a smartphone. The portable terminal device 4 is, for example, a portable terminal device such as a tablet PC or a smartphone. The management terminal device 3 is used by a user U1. The portable terminal device 4 is used by a user U2. The user U1 is, for example, a manager who manages inspection work. The user U2 is a worker who inspects the inspection target 7.

[0017] The configuration of the inspection work support system 1 will be described in more detail below. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a server according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the server 2 includes a server communication unit 10, a server storage unit 11, a server processing unit 12, and a server control unit 13. Information can be exchanged between the above-described components of the server 2.

[0018] The server communication unit 10 is connected to the network 5 and communicates with the management terminal device 3 and the mobile terminal device 4 via the network 5. The server communication unit 10 also communicates with systems external to the inspection work support system 1.

[0019] The server storage unit 11 stores various types of information used to control the server 2, such as information acquired from outside the server 2 and information created inside the server 2. The server storage unit 11 stores information related to inspection work, such as information on an inspection form 21, information on an input screen 22, data on inspection results 23, information on an inspection result table 24, and inspection work progress information 25. The server storage unit 11 also stores information related to support for inspection work, such as map data 26 and combined display data 27. The inspection results 23, the inspection result table 24, the inspection work progress information 25, and the combined display data 27 are updated each time an inspection of an inspection target 7 is performed.

[0020] The inspection form 21 is an inspection sheet used when the user U2 performs inspection work on the inspection object 7. The inspection form 21 is an electronic form created as an electronic document. Multiple inspection forms 21 are provided for one inspection object 7.

[0021] The server processing unit 12 includes a form registration processing unit 31, an input screen generating unit 32, an information output unit 33, an inspection information acquiring unit 34, an inspection result table creating unit 35, a map data acquiring unit 36, and a combined display data creating unit 37. Information can be exchanged between the above-mentioned components of the server processing unit 12.

[0022] For example, when the report registration processing unit 31 receives a report registration request transmitted from the management terminal device 3 via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, it stores information about the inspection report 21 included in the report registration request in the server storage unit 11. The report registration request is information requesting registration of the inspection report 21 in the server 2, and includes information about the inspection report 21 to be registered in the server 2.

[0023] The input screen generation unit 32 generates information for an input screen 22 of the inspection results for the inspection form 21 that has been newly stored in the server memory unit 11 by the form registration processing unit 31, and stores the information for the generated input screen 22 in the server memory unit 11.

[0024] The information output unit 33 outputs various information to the management terminal device 3 or the mobile terminal device 4. When the information output unit 33 receives an input screen transmission request transmitted from the mobile terminal device 4 and requesting transmission of an input screen via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, the information output unit 33 transmits information of the input screen 22 stored in the server storage unit 11 to the mobile terminal device 4 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5. When the information output unit 33 receives a merged display data transmission request transmitted from the management terminal device 3 or the mobile terminal device 4 via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, the information output unit 33 acquires merged display data 27 corresponding to the merged display data transmission request from the server storage unit 11 and transmits it to the mobile terminal device 4 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5.

[0025] The inspection information acquisition unit 34 acquires inspection information, which is information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7, transmitted from the mobile terminal device 4 via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10. The information related to the inspection work includes the inspection result 23 of the inspection object 7.

[0026] The inspection result table creation unit 35 creates an inspection result table 24 in which information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7 is entered into the inspection form 21, based on information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7 acquired by the inspection information acquisition unit 34. Specifically, the inspection result table creation unit 35 creates data for the inspection result table 24 in which information on the inspection result of the inspection object 7 is entered into the inspection form 21 for the inspection object 7 acquired by the inspection information acquisition unit 34. The inspection result table 24 is an electronic form created as an electronic document.

[0027] The map data acquisition unit 36 ​​acquires map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located, and stores the acquired map data in the server storage unit 11. Information on the inspection form 21 and the input screen 22 of the inspection form 21 is linked to information on the address of the inspection target 7 for which the inspection form 21 and the input screen 22 of the inspection form 21 are used. The map data acquisition unit 36 ​​can acquire map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located, based on the address of the inspection target 7 linked to the inspection form 21.

[0028] The map data is map data of the area around the inspection target 7, which describes a route to the inspection target 7, such as information on roads around the inspection target 7 and information on railways around the inspection target 7. The map data may be map data acquired from a geographic information system (GIS) external to the server 2, for example. Note that the map data is not limited to map data acquired from a GIS. The map data acquisition unit 36 ​​may acquire map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located from the map data 26 stored in advance in the server storage unit 11, or may acquire map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located from an external map system, such as a GIS, external to the server 2.

[0029] The merged display data creation unit 37 creates merged display data 27 for the inspection target 7. The merged display data 27 is display data for displaying information related to the inspection work for the inspection target 7, which is acquired from the mobile terminal device 4 and represented by numerical data, together with map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located.

[0030] The combined display data 27 is display data for displaying information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 and a map of the area where the inspection target 7 is located together on a single screen. The combined display data creation unit 37 creates the combined display data 27 using the information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 and map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located. In the first embodiment, the information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 is the inspection work progress information 25. The combined display data 27 displays a combined display map that displays information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 and a map of the area where the inspection target 7 is located together on a single screen.

[0031] The inspection work progress information 25 is information that indicates the progress of the inspection work of the inspection object 7. The inspection work progress information 25 is the ratio of the number of inspection forms 21 for which the inspection results 23 have been uploaded to the server 2 as the inspection work has been completed to the number of multiple inspection forms 21 assigned to the inspection object 7. The merged display data creation unit 37 calculates the inspection work progress information 25 for each inspection object 7 based on the number of inspection forms 21 used in the inspection work of the inspection object 7 and the number of inspection forms 21 for which the inspection work has been completed. An inspection form 21 for which the inspection work has been completed is an inspection form 21 for which the inspection results 23 have been uploaded to the server 2 as the inspection work for all inspection items has been completed, out of the multiple inspection forms 21 assigned to the inspection object 7.

[0032] For example, if the number of inspection forms 21 used in the inspection work of the inspection object 7 is seven and the number of inspection forms 21 for which the inspection work of the inspection object 7 has been completed is five, the merged display data creation unit 37 calculates the progress information 25 of the inspection work as "5 / 7 = 71%".

[0033] The merged display data creation unit 37 determines, among the multiple inspection forms 21 for the inspection object 7 stored in the server memory unit 11, which inspection forms 21 for which inspection work for the inspection object 7 has been completed and which inspection forms 21 for which inspection work for the inspection object 7 has not been completed, based on the inspection forms 21 stored in the server memory unit 11 and the inspection results 23 of the inspection forms 21.

[0034] On the combined display screen displayed using the combined display data 27, the inspection work progress information 25 is displayed as numerical data. The inspection work progress information 25 is displayed as numerical data, for example, as a percentage. The inspection work progress information 25 is also displayed supplementarily, for example, as a graph.

[0035] Furthermore, the combined display data creation unit 37 can create combined display data 27 including the inspection target 7 and one or more other inspection targets 7 located in the vicinity of the inspection target 7. In this case, the combined display data creation unit 37 creates combined display data 27 for displaying, together on a single screen, information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7, map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located, and information related to the inspection work of the other inspection targets 7 located in the vicinity of the inspection target 7. The information related to the inspection work of the other inspection targets 7 has been calculated in the past and stored in the server storage unit 11.

[0036] There is no limit to the number of other inspection targets 7. In addition, the other inspection targets 7 to be included in the merged display data 27 may be determined in advance for each inspection target 7 and stored in the merged display data creation unit 37, or may be specified for the merged display data creation unit 37 from the management terminal device 3 or the mobile terminal device 4.

[0037] The server control unit 13 controls the entire server 2. The server 2 stores server support application software in the server storage unit 11, which is application software for executing the functions of each component of the server 2 described above to execute the functions of the inspection work support system 1. The server support application software includes a server support program that causes a computer to execute the functions of each component of the server 2 described above.

The inspection form 21 shown in Fig. 5 is an inspection form in which the inspection target 7 is Factory A, and includes a first display column 521 and a second display column 522.

[0061] The first display field 521 displays the inspection form 21 for Factory A. The inspection form 21 shown in FIG. 5 includes a management number 211 for an inspection item to be performed in the inspection work for Factory A, and multiple inspection items 212, such as full entry, meter reading, fire extinguisher inspection, simple patrol inspection, 5S activity checklist, shipping inspection (visual inspection), and shipping inspection (protective continuity test). The first display field 521 also displays the progress of multiple detailed inspection items included in each inspection item 212 using numerical data and bar graphs. The first display field 521 also has a start button 213 corresponding to each inspection item. When the start button 213 is selected, an inspection result input screen 22 for inputting the inspection results for the inspection item 212 corresponding to the start button 213 is displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52.

[0062] The second display field 522 displays the progress information 25 of the inspection work at Factory A. The progress information 25 of the inspection work is displayed in percentage and in graph form.

[0063] Next, an example of the input screen 22 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an input screen for inspection results in the inspection work support system according to the first embodiment. The input screen 22 shown in FIG. 6 includes an input box 221 for input items regarding the inspection date, weather, room temperature, person in charge, worker, and inspection results. The input box 221 is an input field in which the worker who performed the inspection work inputs the inspection results. In the example of the input screen 22 shown in FIG. 6, the inspection results input are "good", which indicates that the inspection results are good, or "bad", which indicates that the inspection results are not good.

[0064] 6 includes a first display field 222 and a second display field 223 as display fields for inspection items. The first display field 222 displays major inspection items such as an external inspection and an internal inspection that are carried out in inspection work. The second display field 223 displays minor inspection items, which are detailed inspection items for the inspection item displayed in the first display field 222. In the example of the input screen 22 shown in FIG. 6, minor items such as "presence or absence of abnormalities such as corrosion, damage, overheating, discoloration, soiling, cracks, rust, etc. on the box, battery case, and each part" are displayed in response to the major item of "external inspection."

[0065] In the first embodiment, the inspection data, which is data of the inspection result 23, is a numerical value or a pass / fail judgment result obtained in the inspection work, which is input on the input screen 22 of the inspection form 21. That is, the inspection data is a numerical value or a judgment result obtained in the inspection work of the inspection object 7 for the items set as inspection items in the inspection form 21. The inspection data is a numerical value or a judgment result obtained in the inspection work of the inspection object 7, among the input contents in the input frame 221 of the input screen 22 shown in FIG. 6. Moreover, the inspection data is the input contents on the input screen 22 shown in FIG. 7, which will be described later.

[0066] Next, another example of the input screen 22 will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of the input screen for inspection results in the inspection work support system according to the first embodiment. The input screen 22 shown in FIG. 7 includes an input frame 224 for inspection results. The input frame 224 is an input field in which the worker who performed the inspection work inputs the inspection results, and the inspection results for each inspection item, such as internal inspection 1, internal inspection 2, internal inspection 3, internal inspection 4, internal inspection 5, measurement item 1, etc., are input. In the example of the input screen 22 shown in FIG. 7, the inspection results are input as "good" indicating that the inspection result is good, or "bad" indicating that the inspection result is not good, and the numerical values ​​of the measurement data measured during the inspection. In this case, a display screen separate from the input screen 22 is provided for displaying detailed content of the inspection items performed in the inspection work.

[0067] Next, the inspection result table 24 will be explained. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an inspection result table in the inspection work support system, displayed on the management terminal display unit of the management terminal device according to the first embodiment. In the inspection result table 24 shown in FIG. 8, various information regarding the inspection results for each management item, such as the inspection date, inspection device ID (Identification), inspection target facility ID, facility name, equipment name, equipment name, inspector name, template name used, pass / fail judgment, status, data creator, last updater, and last update date and time, can be input. The inspection result table 24 can be viewed on the management terminal device 3 and the mobile terminal device 4. The inspection result table 24 can also be viewed on other terminal devices via an internet browser.

[0068] Next, the processing by the server processing unit 12 of the server 2 will be explained using a flowchart. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure in the server processing unit of the server provided in the inspection work support system according to the first embodiment. The following processing is performed for each inspection object 7. Below, the processing in the server processing unit 12 for one inspection object 7 that is the subject of inspection work will be explained. Furthermore, the following processing is performed when the inspection form 21 for the inspection object 7 that is the subject of inspection work is registered in the server 2.

[0069] First, in step S110, the information output unit 33 determines whether or not an input screen transmission request has been received from the mobile terminal device 4. If it is determined that an input screen transmission request has been received (step S110: Yes), the process proceeds to step S120. If it is determined that an input screen transmission request has not been received (step S110: No), the process returns to step S110.

[0070] In step S120, the information output unit 33 transmits the information of the input screen 22 of the inspection form 21 corresponding to the input screen transmission request to the mobile terminal device 4 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S130.

[0071] In step S130, the inspection information acquisition unit 34 determines whether or not the inspection information transmitted from the mobile terminal device 4 has been received. If it is determined that the inspection information has been received (step S130: Yes), the process proceeds to step S140. If it is determined that the inspection information has not been received (step S130: No), the process proceeds to step S150.

[0072] In step S140, the inspection result table creation unit 35 creates the inspection result table 24 for the inspection target 7 corresponding to the inspection information, based on the inspection result information included in the received inspection information and the inspection slip 21 corresponding to the inspection information. Then, the process proceeds to step S150.

[0073] In step S150, the merged display data creation unit 37 updates the inspection work progress information 25, which is information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 corresponding to the received inspection information. The merged display data creation unit 37 calculates the inspection work progress information 25 for the inspection target 7 based on the number of inspection forms 21 used in the inspection work of the inspection target 7 corresponding to the received inspection information and the number of inspection forms 21 for which inspection work for the inspection target 7 has been completed. The merged display data creation unit 37 stores the calculated inspection work progress information 25 in the server storage unit 11 and updates the inspection work progress information 25. Note that when the first inspection work for the inspection target 7 is performed, the inspection work progress information 25 is stored and registered in the server storage unit 11. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S160. Note that the order of steps S140 and S150 does not matter.

[0074] In step S160, the map data acquisition unit 36 ​​acquires map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located. The map data acquisition unit 36 ​​acquires map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located from the map data 26 stored in the server storage unit 11. Alternatively, the map data acquisition unit 36 ​​acquires map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located from an external map system such as a GIS external to the server 2. Then, the process proceeds to step S170.

[0075] In step S170, the combined display data creation unit 37 uses the updated inspection work progress information 25 and the map data acquired by the map data acquisition unit 36 ​​to create combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. The combined display data creation unit 37 stores the created combined display data 27 in the server storage unit 11, and updates the combined display data 27. Then, the process proceeds to step S180.

[0076] In step S180, the information output unit 33 determines whether a combined display data transmission request has been received from the mobile terminal device 4, requesting combined display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. If it is determined that a combined display data transmission request has been received (step S180: Yes), the process proceeds to step S190. If it is determined that a combined display data transmission request has not been received (step S180: No), the process proceeds to step S200.

[0077] In step S190, the information output unit 33 transmits the combined display data 27, which includes the inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7, for the inspection target 7 corresponding to the combined display data transmission request, to the mobile terminal device 4 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5. Then, the process proceeds to step S200.

[0078] In step S200, the server processing unit 12 determines whether it is time to end the operation. For example, the server processing unit 12 determines that it is time to end the operation when it determines that the power supply (not shown) of the server 2 has been turned off or when it determines that an operation to end the operation has been performed on an input unit (not shown) of the server 2.

[0079] If it is determined that it is time to end the operation (step S200: Yes), the series of processes ends. If it is determined that it is not time to end the operation (step S200: No), the process returns to step S110.

[0080] Note that steps S180 and S190 do not have to be performed immediately after steps S110 to S170 are performed, and may be performed at any timing.

[0081] Furthermore, in the above description, the case where the combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25 is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 4 has been described, but the combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25 may also be transmitted to the management terminal device 3. In this case, in steps S180 and S190, the mobile terminal device 4 is replaced by the management terminal device 3 and processing is performed.

[0082] Next, processing by the mobile terminal processing unit 53 of the mobile terminal device 4 will be described using a flowchart. Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure in the mobile terminal processing unit of the mobile terminal device provided in the inspection work support system according to the first embodiment. The following processing is performed for each inspection target 7. Below, processing by the mobile terminal processing unit 53 of the mobile terminal device 4 for one inspection target 7 that is the subject of inspection work will be described.

[0083] First, in step S310, the inspection form information acquisition unit 56 of the mobile terminal device 4 determines whether or not the user U2 has operated the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51 to request an input screen to acquire information on the input screen 22. Specifically, when the user U2 operates the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51 to acquire information on the inspection form 21 for the inspection target 7, the information on the inspection form 21 for the inspection target 7 is acquired from the server 2, and a top page (not shown) of the inspection form 21 is displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4. When the user U2 inputs the inspection results for the inspection target 7, the user U2 operates the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51 to request an input screen on the top page to acquire information on the input screen 22 of the inspection form 21.

[0084] If it is determined that an input screen request operation has been performed (step S310: Yes), the process proceeds to step S320. If it is determined that an input screen request operation has not been performed (step S310: No), the process proceeds to step S380.

[0085] In step S320, the inspection form information acquisition unit 56 transmits an input screen request to the server 2 and acquires information on the input screen 22 from the server 2. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S330.

[0086] In step S330, the mobile terminal display output processing unit 57 displays the input screen 22 on the mobile terminal display unit 52 based on the acquired information on the input screen 22. After that, the process proceeds to step S340.

[0087] In step S340, the input processing unit 58 determines whether or not an inspection information input operation has been performed by the user U2 on the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51. If it is determined that an inspection information input operation has been performed (step S340: Yes), the process proceeds to step S350. If it is determined that an inspection information input operation has not been performed (step S340: No), the process proceeds to step S360.

[0088] In step S350, the input processing unit 58 executes an inspection information input process, which is a process for inputting inspection information into the input screen 22. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S360.

[0089] In step S360, input processing unit 58 determines whether input of inspection information into input screen 22 is complete. If it is determined that input of inspection information into input screen 22 is complete (step S360: Yes), the process proceeds to step S370. If it is determined that input of inspection information into input screen 22 is not complete (step S360: No), the process returns to step S340.

[0090] In step S370, the inspection information transmission unit 59 links the inspection information entered on the input screen 22 with the inspection form 21 and the information on the input screen 22, and transmits the information to the server 2 via the mobile terminal communication unit 50 and the network 5. Then, the process proceeds to step S380.

[0091] In step S380, the mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60 determines whether or not a merged display data transmission request operation has been performed by the user U2 on the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51, instructing the acquisition of merged display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. If it is determined that a merged display data transmission request operation has been performed (step S380: Yes), the process proceeds to step S390. If it is determined that a merged display data transmission request operation has not been performed (step S380: No), the process proceeds to step S410.

[0092] In step S390, the mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60 transmits a merged display data transmission request to the server 2, requesting merged display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7, and acquires the merged display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 from the server 2. The mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60 stores the acquired merged display data 27 in the mobile terminal storage unit 54. Then, the process proceeds to step S400.

[0093] In step S400, the mobile terminal display output processing unit 57 outputs the combined display data 27, which is acquired from the server 2 and includes the inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7, to the mobile terminal display unit 52, and displays the combined display data 27 on the mobile terminal display unit 52. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S410.

[0094] In step S410, the mobile terminal processing unit 53 determines whether or not it is time to end the operation. For example, the mobile terminal processing unit 53 determines that it is time to end the operation when it determines that the power (not shown) of the mobile terminal device 4 has been turned off or when it determines that an operation to end the operation has been performed on the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51 of the mobile terminal device 4.

[0095] If it is determined that it is time to end the operation (step S410: Yes), the series of processes ends. If it is determined that it is not time to end the operation (step S410: No), the process returns to step S310.

[0096] Although the above description shows a case where the merged display data 27 is displayed on the mobile terminal device 4, there is no limitation on the terminal device that displays the merged display data 27. In other words, other terminal devices such as the management terminal device 3 can also obtain the merged display data 27 from the server 2 and display the merged display data 27.

[0097] Note that steps S380 to S400 do not have to be performed immediately after steps S310 to S370 are performed, and may be performed at any timing.

[0098] Furthermore, although the above description has been given of the case where the mobile terminal device 4 acquires and displays the combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25, the combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25 may also be acquired and displayed by the management terminal device 3. In this case, in steps S380 to S400, the mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60, the mobile terminal display output processing unit 57, and the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 3 are replaced by the management terminal merged display data acquisition unit 48, the management terminal display output processing unit 47, and the management terminal display unit 42 of the management terminal device 3, and processing is performed in the management terminal device 3.

[0099] Next, an example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of inspection target 7 in the first embodiment will be described. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data including inspection work progress information in the inspection work support system according to the first embodiment.

[0100] The combined display map 71 shown in FIG. 11 has inspection work progress information 25 superimposed on a map 72, which is a map of the area where Dams A, B, C, D, E, and F are located, as information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7. That is, the combined display map 71 displays the map 72 and the inspection work progress information 25 together. Therefore, by displaying the combined display map 71 on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the map 72 and the inspection work progress information 25 are displayed together on the mobile terminal display unit 52. In the combined display map 71 shown in FIG. 11, the inspection work progress information 25 for Dams C, E, and F is superimposed on the map 72. The inspection work progress information 25 is displayed in percentage and as a graph.

[0101] By looking at the combined display map 71 displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, user U2 can confirm the inspection work progress information 25 in percentage and graphical representation. By looking at the inspection work progress information 25 displayed as a percentage, user U2 can instantly and accurately understand the inspection work progress information 25 for the inspection target 7. Furthermore, by looking at the inspection work progress information 25 displayed as a graphical representation, user U2 can instantly and intuitively understand the inspection work progress information 25 for the inspection target 7. Note that the display of the inspection work progress information 25 on the combined display map 71 may be only displayed as a percentage. In this case, user U2 can also instantly and intuitively understand the inspection work progress information 25 for the inspection target 7.

[0102] The merged display map 71 shows multiple inspection targets 7 and progress information 25 of the inspection work for the multiple inspection targets 7 on a map 72. As a result, the merged display map 71 can support the future inspection process of user U2, who is the worker performing the inspection work. That is, by looking at the merged display map 71, user U2 can know the locations of the multiple inspection targets 7 and the progress status of the inspection work for the multiple inspection targets 7. Therefore, user U2 can plan the future inspection work process for the multiple inspection targets 7 based on the locations of the multiple inspection targets 7 and the progress status of the inspection work for the multiple inspection targets 7, taking into account travel time, the time required for the inspection work, and the like.

[0103] For example, by looking at the combined display map 71, user U2 can plan the schedule for future inspection work, such as "The progress information 25 of the inspection work at nearby Dam C is 71%, and the inspection work will soon be finished, so let's go to Dam C after the inspection work at Dam E is finished," or "The progress information 25 of the inspection work at Dam E is 22%, and it is a little behind schedule, and the inspection of Dam C is progressing faster than planned today, so let's inspect Dam C after Dam E and then go home."

[0104] Next, a description will be given of another example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of inspection target 7. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing another example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data including inspection work progress information in the inspection work support system according to the first embodiment.

[0105] The merged display map 71a shown in FIG. 12 has an information display area 73 adjacent to the map 72, where the inspection work progress information 25 is displayed. The merged display map 71a shown in FIG. 12 displays the inspection work progress information 25 in the information display area 73 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. That is, the merged display map 71a displays the map 72 and the inspection work progress information 25 together. Therefore, by displaying the merged display map 71a on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the map 72 and the inspection work progress information 25 are displayed together on the mobile terminal display unit 52. In the merged display map 71a shown in FIG. 12, the inspection work progress information 25 for Dam C, Dam E, and Dam F is displayed in the information display area 73.

[0106] The merged display map 71a shown in FIG. 12 also provides the same effects as the merged display map 71 shown in FIG.

[0107] That is, the inspection work support system 1 according to the first embodiment achieves the above-mentioned effects by simultaneously displaying a map 72, which is a map of the area in which the inspection target 7 is located, and progress information 25 of the inspection work on the inspection target 7, on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4.

[0108] According to the server 2 of the above-described first embodiment, a server is realized that is capable of communicating with a terminal device and assists in the inspection of inspection objects, and that is equipped with a merged display data creation unit that creates merged display data for displaying information related to the inspection work of the inspection objects, which is obtained from the terminal device and represented as numerical data, together with map data of the area where the inspection objects are located.

[0109] As described above, in the inspection work support system 1 according to the first embodiment, the server 2 creates combined display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. Then, the mobile terminal device 4 acquires the combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25, and displays the combined display data 27 on the mobile terminal display unit 52. That is, the mobile terminal device 4 displays on the mobile terminal display unit 52 a combined display map displayed by the combined display data 27 including the inspection work progress information 25 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. Then, the inspection work progress information 25 is displayed as numerical data.

[0110] The user U2 can check the inspection work progress information 25 in the form of numerical data by looking at the combined display map displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4. By looking at the inspection work progress information 25 displayed in the form of numerical data, the user U2 can immediately and accurately understand the inspection work progress information 25 for the inspection target 7.

[0111] This allows the inspection work support system 1 to support the future inspection process of user U2, who is a worker performing the inspection work. That is, by looking at the combined display map, user U2 can know the locations of multiple inspection targets 7 and the progress of the inspection work for the multiple inspection targets 7. Therefore, user U2 can plan the future inspection work process for the multiple inspection targets 7 based on the locations of the multiple inspection targets 7 and the progress of the inspection work for the multiple inspection targets 7, taking into account travel time and the time required for the inspection work.

[0112] As described above, the inspection work support system 1 according to the first embodiment has the effect of providing a server that can display inspection work progress information 25, which is information related to the inspection work, so that the user can immediately and accurately understand the information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7.

[0113] Embodiment 2 In the second embodiment, a description will be given of other functions of the above-mentioned inspection work support system 1. In the first embodiment, a description has been given of a case where merged display data 27 including inspection work progress information 25 is created as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. In the second embodiment, a description will be given of a case where merged display data 27 including inspection result data, which is data on the inspection results 23 of the inspection work, is created as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7.

[0114] In the second embodiment, the information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 is the inspection results 23 of the inspection work. In the second embodiment, the merged display data creation unit 37 creates merged display data 27 including the data of the inspection results 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. The merged display data creation unit 37 creates the merged display data 27 including the data of the inspection results 23 of the inspection work, using the data of the inspection results 23 of the inspection work of the inspection target 7 and map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located.

[0115] Next, processing by the server processing unit 12 of the server 2 in the second embodiment will be explained using a flowchart. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure in the server processing unit of the server of the inspection work support system in the second embodiment. Below, a flow that differs from the flowchart in FIG. 9 will be explained. The following processing is performed for each inspection object 7. Below, processing by the server processing unit 12 for one inspection object 7 that is the subject of inspection work will be explained. Furthermore, the following processing is performed when the inspection form 21 for the inspection object 7 that is the subject of inspection work is registered in the server 2.

[0116] First, steps S110 to S140 are performed in the same manner as in Fig. 9 of the first embodiment, and then the process proceeds to step S510.

[0117] In step S510, the inspection information acquisition unit 34 updates the data of the inspection result 23 stored in the server storage unit 11 based on the received inspection information. When the first inspection work is performed on the inspection target 7, the received inspection information is stored in the server storage unit 11 and the data of the inspection result 23 is registered in the server storage unit 11. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S160. The order of steps S140 and S510 does not matter.

[0118] In step S160, the map data acquisition unit 36 ​​acquires map data of the area where the inspection object 7 is located. After that, the process proceeds to step S520.

[0119] In step S520, the combined display data creation unit 37 uses the data of the updated inspection result 23 and the map data acquired by the map data acquisition unit 36 ​​to create combined display data 27 including the data of the inspection result 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7. The combined display data creation unit 37 stores the created combined display data 27 in the server storage unit 11 and updates the combined display data 27. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S530.

[0120] In step S530, the information output unit 33 determines whether a combined display data transmission request has been received from the mobile terminal device 4, requesting combined display data 27 including inspection result data of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. If it is determined that a combined display data transmission request has been received (step S530: Yes), the process proceeds to step S540. If it is determined that a combined display data transmission request has not been received (step S530: No), the process proceeds to step S200.

[0121] In step S540, the information output unit 33 transmits the merged display data 27, which includes inspection result data of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7 for the inspection object 7 corresponding to the merged display data transmission request, to the mobile terminal device 4 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5. Then, the process proceeds to step S200.

[0122] Note that steps S530 and S540 do not have to be performed immediately after steps S110 to S520 are performed, and may be performed at any timing.

[0123] Furthermore, in the above description, the case where the combined display data 27 including the inspection result data of the inspection work is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 4 has been described, but the combined display data 27 including the inspection result data of the inspection work may also be transmitted to the management terminal device 3. In this case, in steps S530 and S540, the mobile terminal device 4 is replaced by the management terminal device 3 and processing is performed.

[0124] Next, processing by the mobile terminal processing unit 53 of the mobile terminal device 4 in the second embodiment will be described using a flowchart. Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure in the mobile terminal processing unit of the mobile terminal device of the inspection work support system in the second embodiment. Below, a flow different from the flowchart in Fig. 10 will be described. The following processing is performed for each inspection target 7. Below, processing by the mobile terminal processing unit 53 of the mobile terminal device 4 for one inspection target 7 that is the subject of inspection work will be described.

[0125] First, steps S310 to S370 are performed in the same manner as in Fig. 10 of the first embodiment, and then the process proceeds to step S610.

[0126] In step S610, the mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60 determines whether or not the user U2 has operated the mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51 to request transmission of merged display data, which instructs acquisition of merged display data 27 including inspection result data of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. If it is determined that a merged display data transmission request operation has been performed (step S610: Yes), the process proceeds to step S620. If it is determined that a merged display data transmission request operation has not been performed (step S610: No), the process proceeds to step S410.

[0127] In step S620, the mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60 transmits a merged display data transmission request to the server 2, requesting merged display data 27 including inspection result data of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7, and acquires the merged display data 27 including the inspection result data of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7 from the server 2. The mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60 stores the acquired merged display data 27 in the mobile terminal storage unit 54. Then, the process proceeds to step S630.

[0128] In step S630, the mobile terminal display output processing unit 57 outputs the combined display data 27, which is acquired from the server 2 and includes the inspection result data of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7, to the mobile terminal display unit 52, and displays the combined display data 27 on the mobile terminal display unit 52. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S410.

[0129] Note that steps S610 to S630 do not have to be performed immediately after steps S310 to S370 are performed, and may be performed at any timing.

[0130] Furthermore, in the above description, the case has been described where the mobile terminal device 4 acquires and displays the combined display data 27 including the inspection result data of the inspection work, but the combined display data 27 including the inspection result data of the inspection work may also be acquired and displayed by the management terminal device 3. In this case, in steps S610 to S630, the mobile terminal merged display data acquisition unit 60, the mobile terminal display output processing unit 57, and the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4 are replaced by the management terminal merged display data acquisition unit 48, the management terminal display output processing unit 47, and the management terminal display unit 42 of the management terminal device 3, and processing is performed in the management terminal device 3.

[0131] Next, an example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data 27 including inspection results 23 of inspection work as information related to inspection work of inspection target 7 in embodiment 2 will be described. Fig. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data including inspection results of inspection work in embodiment 2.

[0132] The merged display map 75 shown in FIG. 15 superimposes inspection results 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of inspection object 7 on map 72, which is a map of the area where Dams A, B, C, D, E, and F are located. That is, the merged display map 75 displays both map 72 and inspection results 23 of the inspection work. Therefore, by displaying the merged display map 75 on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the map 72 and inspection results 23 of the inspection work are displayed together on the mobile terminal display unit 52. The merged display map 75 shown in FIG. 15 superimposes the measured values ​​of the radio wave intensity at inspection object 7 on map 72 as inspection results 23 of the inspection work for Dams C, D, E, and F. The inspection results 23 of the inspection work are displayed using numerical data and character data.

[0133] The user U2 can check the inspection results 23 of the inspection work in text data by looking at the combined display map 75 displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4. This allows the user U2 to intuitively and immediately understand the inspection results 23 of the inspection work of the inspection target 7.

[0134] The merged display map 75 displays multiple inspection targets 7 and inspection results 23 of the inspection work for the multiple inspection targets 7 on a map 72. The merged display map 75 thus helps the user U2 analyze the occurrence of a fault or malfunction of the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain. That is, by viewing the merged display map 75 displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the user U2 can easily understand the details of the fault or malfunction of the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain, i.e., the fault or malfunction corresponding to the terrain information. As a result, by viewing the merged display map 75 displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the user U2 can shorten the time required to take measures to address the fault or malfunction of the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain.

[0135] For example, by looking at the merged display map 75, user U2 can immediately and accurately understand that the radio wave strength of dam D, which is next to dam E, which has a radio wave strength of 15 dB, is 4 dB, and that the radio wave strength of dam C, which is next to dam D, is rapidly decreasing. In this case, user U2 can predict that there is an obstacle to radio waves between dam D and dam E, for example, and can focus fault detection on the area between dam D and dam E. In this way, the merged display map 75 contributes to identifying the cause of a fault or malfunction in fault detection during the inspection of inspection target 7.

[0136] Next, we will explain another example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data 27 including inspection results 23 of inspection work as information related to the inspection work of inspection target 7. Fig. 16 is a diagram showing another example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data including inspection results of inspection work in embodiment 2.

[0137] The merged display map 75a shown in FIG. 16 has an information display area 73 adjacent to the map 72, where the inspection results 23 of the inspection work are displayed. The merged display map 75a shown in FIG. 16 displays the inspection results 23 of the inspection work in the information display area 73 as information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7. That is, the merged display map 75a displays the map 72 and the inspection results 23 of the inspection work together. Therefore, by displaying the merged display map 75a on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the map 72 and the inspection results 23 of the inspection work are displayed together on the mobile terminal display unit 52. The merged display map 75a shown in FIG. 16 superimposes the measured values ​​of the radio wave intensity at the inspection object 7 on the map 72 as the inspection results 23 of the inspection work for Dam C, Dam D, Dam E, and Dam F. The inspection results 23 of the inspection work are displayed using numerical data and character data.

[0138] Next, an example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data 27 including both inspection work progress information 25 and inspection results 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of inspection target 7 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a merged display map displayed by merged display data including inspection work progress information and inspection results of the inspection work in the second embodiment. In the merged display map 76 shown in FIG. 17, the inspection work progress information 25 is superimposed on the map 72, and the inspection results 23 of the inspection work are superimposed on the map 72. In other words, the merged display map 76 shown in FIG. 17 is a map that combines the merged display map 71 shown in FIG. 11 and the merged display map 75 shown in FIG. 15.

[0139] The merged display map 76 shown in FIG. 17 provides the same effects as the merged display map 71 shown in FIG. 11 and the same effects as the merged display map 75 shown in FIG.

[0140] Furthermore, a combined display map may be created in which both the inspection work progress information 25 and the inspection work inspection results 23 are displayed in the information display area 73 as information related to the inspection work. A combined display map having such a configuration can also achieve the same effects as the combined display map 71 shown in Fig. 11 and the combined display map 75 shown in Fig. 15.

[0141] As described above, in the second embodiment, the server 2 of the inspection work support system 1 creates combined display data 27 including the inspection results 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. Then, the mobile terminal device 4 acquires the combined display data 27 including the inspection results 23 of the inspection work, and displays the combined display data 27 on the mobile terminal display unit 52. That is, the mobile terminal device 4 displays on the mobile terminal display unit 52 a combined display map displayed by the combined display data 27 including the inspection results 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection target 7. Then, the inspection results 23 of the inspection work are displayed using numerical data and character data.

[0142] By looking at the merged display map displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the user U2 can easily understand the details of the obstacle to the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain or the malfunction of the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain, i.e., the obstacle corresponding to the terrain information or the malfunction corresponding to the terrain information. As a result, by looking at the merged display map displayed on the mobile terminal display unit 52 of the mobile terminal device 4, the user U2 can shorten the time required to take measures against the obstacle to the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain or the malfunction of the inspection target 7 caused by the terrain.

[0143] Therefore, in embodiment 2, the inspection work support system 1 can contribute to fault analysis in the inspection work of the inspection object 7 by having the server 2 display merged display data 27 including the inspection results 23 of the inspection work as information related to the inspection work of the inspection object 7.

[0144] For example, if the progress of the inspection work is simply displayed on the map as "abnormal" or "no abnormality", specific numerical data of the inspection results 23 of the inspection work will not be displayed, making it difficult to detect obstacles according to the topographical information, such as when there is an obstacle between adjacent inspection targets 7.

[0145] Embodiment 3 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an inspection work support system according to the third embodiment. The inspection work support system 1a according to the third embodiment includes a server 2a, a management terminal device 3a, and a mobile terminal device 4a.

[0146] The inspection work support system 1a has the functions and effects of the above-mentioned embodiments 1 and 2. The inspection work support system 1a further has a function of linking the inspection result table with the attached information of the inspection object 7, and transitioning from a screen displaying the inspection result table to a screen displaying the attached information of the inspection object 7.

[0147] 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a server according to the third embodiment. In addition to the configuration of the server 2 according to the first embodiment, the server 2a includes an attached information registration unit 81 and a link processing unit 82 in the server processing unit 12. The server 2a also stores attached information 83 and a linked inspection result table 84 in the server storage unit 11.

[0148] When the accessory information registration unit 81 receives an accessory information registration request sent from the management terminal device 3a via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, it stores and registers the accessory information 83 of the inspection object 7 included in the accessory information registration request in the server memory unit 11.

[0149] The attached information registration request is information requesting registration of attached information 83 of the inspection object 7 in the server 2a, and includes the attached information 83 to be registered in the server 2a.

[0150] The attached information 83 is information indicating details of the inspection target 7, and includes map data of the area where the inspection target 7 is located, and a three-dimensional image of the inspection target 7. The attached information 83 is linked to unique identification information for identifying the inspection target 7 corresponding to the attached information 83, i.e., identification information of the inspection target 7 corresponding to the attached information 83.

[0151] The inspection form 21 includes identification information for the inspection form, which is unique information for identifying the inspection form 21. The inspection form 21 is also assigned unique identification information for identifying the inspection object 7 corresponding to the inspection form 21, i.e., identification information for the inspection object 7 for which inspection is performed using the inspection form 21. The identification information for the inspection object 7 is, for example, a facility ID, which is unique identification information for identifying the facility that is the inspection object 7, or an equipment ID, which is unique identification information for identifying the equipment that is the inspection object 7.

[0152] The attached information registration unit 81 stores the attached information 83 of the inspection target 7 included in the attached information registration request in the server storage unit 11, linking it to the identification information of the inspection form 21 for the inspection target 7 corresponding to the attached information 83 and the identification information of the inspection target 7. The attached information registration unit 81 also creates URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information for the attached information 83 stored in the server storage unit 11, links it to the attached information 83, and stores it together with the attached information 83 in the server storage unit 11. The URL of the attached information 83 is the address of the attached information 83 stored in the server storage unit 11 on the inspection work support system 1a.

[0153] The link processing unit 82 links the attached information 83 registered in the server storage unit 11 with the inspection result table 24 to create a linked inspection result table 84. That is, the link processing unit 82 associates the attached information 83, which is information indicating details of the inspection object 7, with the inspection result table 24, into which information on the inspection results of the inspection object 7 has been input, to create a linked inspection result table 84 with a link to the attached information 83. The linked inspection result table 84 is assigned unique identification information for identifying the linked inspection result table 84, identification information of the inspection form 21 corresponding to the linked inspection result table 84, and identification information of the inspection object 7 for which inspection is performed using the inspection form 21 corresponding to the linked inspection result table 84. That is, the link processing unit 82 functions as a linked inspection result table creation unit, which is a functional unit that creates the linked inspection result table 84.

[0154] The linked inspection result table 84 is an inspection result table in which the inspection result table 24 and the attached information 83 are associated with each other and a link to the attached information 83 is provided.

[0155] Furthermore, when the link processing unit 82 receives a linked inspection result table transmission request transmitted from the management terminal device 3a via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, it transmits URL information linked to the inspection target 7 corresponding to the linked inspection result table transmission request and the linked inspection result table 84 to the management terminal device 3a via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5. The link processing unit 82 acquires attached information 83 corresponding to the linked inspection result table transmission request from the server storage unit 11 based on the identification information of the inspection form of the linked inspection result table 84 linked to the linked inspection result table transmission request, the identification information of the inspection form 21 corresponding to the linked inspection result table 84, and the identification information of the inspection target 7 to be inspected using the inspection form 21 corresponding to the linked inspection result table 84, and transmits the attached information 83 to the management terminal device 3a.

[0156] 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a management terminal device according to the third embodiment. The management terminal device 3a includes an attached information transmitting unit 91, a linked inspection result table acquiring unit 92, and an attached information acquiring unit 93 in the management terminal processing unit 43 in addition to the configuration of the management terminal device 3 according to the first embodiment.

[0157] When data of the attached information 83 is input to the management terminal information acquisition unit 41 based on an operation of the management terminal information acquisition unit 41 by user U1, the attached information transmission unit 91 transmits the data of the attached information 83 input to the management terminal information acquisition unit 41 to the server 2a via the management terminal communication unit 40 and the network 5.

[0158] When a linked inspection result table transmission request operation that instructs the acquisition of a linked inspection result table 84 is performed as an operation by user U1 on the management terminal information acquisition unit 41, the linked inspection result table acquisition unit 92 transmits the linked inspection result table transmission request to the information output unit 33 of the server 2a and acquires the linked inspection result table 84 from the server 2a. When the information output unit 33 of the server 2a receives the linked inspection result table transmission request transmitted from the linked inspection result table acquisition unit 92 via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, it transmits the data of the linked inspection result table 84 stored in the server storage unit 11 to the management terminal device 3 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5.

[0159] When user U1 operates the management terminal information acquisition unit 41 to request transmission of attached information, the attached information acquisition unit 93 transmits an attached information transmission request to the information output unit 33 of the server 2a and acquires attached information 83 from the server 2a. Specifically, the attached information acquisition unit 93 transmits an attached information transmission request to the information output unit 33 of the server 2a, requesting transmission of attached information 83, which is information linked to a selected portion in the linked inspection result table 84 displayed on the management terminal display unit 42, to acquire the attached information 83 from the server 2a. The selected portion in the linked inspection result table 84 displayed on the management terminal display unit 42 corresponds to an attached information transmission request button, which will be described later. When the information output unit 33 of the server 2a receives the attached information transmission request, which is transmitted from the attached information acquisition unit 93 and requests transmission of attached information 83, which is information linked to the linked inspection result table 84, via the network 5 and the server communication unit 10, the information output unit 33 of the server 2a transmits the attached information 83 stored in the server storage unit 11 to the management terminal device 3 via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5.

[0160] 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a mobile terminal device according to the third embodiment. The mobile terminal device 4a includes a linked inspection result table acquiring unit 61 and an attached information acquiring unit 62 in a mobile terminal processing unit 53 in addition to the configuration of the mobile terminal device 4 according to the first embodiment.

[0161] When a linked inspection result table transmission request operation is performed as an operation by user U2 on mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51, linked inspection result table acquisition unit 61 transmits the linked inspection result table transmission request to information output unit 33 of server 2a and acquires linked inspection result table 84 from server 2a. When information output unit 33 of server 2a receives the linked inspection result table transmission request transmitted from linked inspection result table acquisition unit 61 via network 5 and server communication unit 10, it transmits data of linked inspection result table 84 stored in server storage unit 11 to mobile terminal device 4 via server communication unit 10 and network 5.

[0162] When a request to send attached information is made as an operation by user U2 to mobile terminal information acquisition unit 51, attached information acquisition unit 62 sends an attached information transmission request to information output unit 33 of server 2a and acquires attached information 83 from server 2a.

[0163] Next, an example of the linked inspection result table 84 will be described. Fig. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the linked inspection result table displayed on the management terminal display unit of the management terminal device according to the third embodiment. The linked inspection result table 84 shown in Fig. 22 has a link display unit 811 added to the inspection result table 24 shown in Fig. 8.

[0164] The link display section 811 displays a map button 812 and a 3D image button 813. The map button 812 and the 3D image button 813 are attached information transmission request buttons that are buttons for performing an attached information transmission request operation, which is an operation by the user to request the transmission of attached information 83 of the inspection object 7. The map button 812 is a button for requesting the transmission of map data, which is the attached information 83. The 3D image button 813 is a button for requesting the transmission of 3D image data, which is the attached information 83. When the map button 812 is operated, the attached information acquisition unit 93 of the management terminal device 3a sends an attached information transmission request to the server 2a to acquire map data, which is the attached information 83. When the 3D image button 813 is operated, the attached information acquisition unit 93 of the management terminal device 3a sends an attached information transmission request to the server 2a to acquire 3D image data, which is the attached information 83.

[0165] Next, a process for registering the attached information 83 and a process for creating the linked inspection result table 84 by the server processing unit 12 of the server 2a will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure in the server processing unit of the server provided in the inspection work support system according to the third embodiment. The following process is performed for each inspection object 7. Below, the process in the server processing unit 12 for the attached information 83 of one inspection object 7 that is the subject of inspection work will be described. Furthermore, the following process is performed when the inspection form 21 for the inspection object 7 that is the subject of inspection work has been registered in the server 2a and the inspection result table 24 has been created.

[0166] First, in step S710, the attached information registration unit 81 determines whether an attached information registration request transmitted from the management terminal device 3a has been received. If it is determined that an attached information registration request has been received (step S710: Yes), the process proceeds to step S720. If it is determined that an attached information registration request has not been received (step S710: No), the process returns to step S710.

[0167] In step S720, the attached information registration unit 81 stores and registers the attached information 83 of the inspection target 7 included in the attached information registration request in the server storage unit 11. The attached information registration unit 81 links the attached information 83 of the inspection target 7 included in the attached information registration request to the URL of the attached information 83, the identification information of the inspection form 21 for the inspection target 7 corresponding to the attached information 83, and the identification information of the inspection target 7, and stores the linked information in the server storage unit 11. Then, the process proceeds to step S730.

[0168] In step S730, the link processing unit 82 associates and links the attached information 83 registered in the server storage unit 11 with the inspection result table 24 of the inspection object 7 corresponding to the attached information 83, thereby creating a linked inspection result table 84. The link processing unit 82 obtains from the server storage unit 11 the inspection result table 24 of the inspection object 7 corresponding to the attached information 83 and uses it.

[0169] The timing at which the attached information 83 is registered is not limited to the above timing, and the attached information 83 may be registered at any time after the inspection form 21 is registered in the server 2a.

[0170] Next, the process of registering the attached information 83 and the process of creating the linked inspection result table 84 by the server processing unit 12 of the server 2a will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure in the server processing unit of the server provided in the inspection work support system according to the third embodiment. The following process is performed for each linked inspection result table 84. The following process is performed after the linked inspection result table 84 is created.

[0171] First, in step S810, the link processing unit 82 determines whether or not an attached information transmission request transmitted from the management terminal device 3a has been received. If it is determined that an attached information transmission request has been received (step S810: Yes), the process proceeds to step S820. If it is determined that an attached information transmission request has not been received (step S810: No), the process returns to step S810.

[0172] In step S820, the information output unit 33 transmits the attached information 83 corresponding to the URL included in the attached information transmission request to the management terminal device 3a via the server communication unit 10 and the network 5. Then, the process proceeds to step S200. The information output unit 33 acquires the attached information 83 corresponding to the attached information transmission request from the server storage unit 11 based on the URL included in the attached information transmission request, the identification information of the inspection form of the linked inspection result table 84, the identification information of the inspection form 21 corresponding to the linked inspection result table 84, and the identification information of the inspection target 7 to be inspected using the inspection form 21 corresponding to the linked inspection result table 84, and transmits the acquired information to the management terminal device 3a. Then, the process proceeds to step S200. The information output unit 33 can acquire the attached information 83 corresponding to the attached information transmission request from the server storage unit 11 based on at least the URL included in the attached information transmission request.

[0173] Next, the processing by the management terminal processing unit 43 of the management terminal device 3a will be explained using a flowchart. Fig. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure in the management terminal processing unit of the management terminal device provided in the inspection work support system according to the third embodiment. The following processing is performed for each linked inspection result table 84. In the following, the linked inspection result table 84 is acquired from the server 2a by the linked inspection result table acquisition unit 92 in the management terminal device 3a, and is displayed on the management terminal display unit 42 of the management terminal device 3a.

[0174] First, in step S910, the attached information acquisition unit 93 of the management terminal device 3a determines whether or not the user U1 has operated the management terminal information acquisition unit 41 to request transmission of attached information, instructing the acquisition of attached information 83 of the inspection target 7.

[0175] If it is determined that an operation to request transmission of attached information has been performed (step S910: Yes), the process proceeds to step S920. If it is determined that an operation to request transmission of attached information has not been performed (step S910: No), the process returns to step S910.

[0176] In step S920, the attached information acquisition unit 93 transmits an attached information transmission request to the server 2a and acquires the attached information 83 of the inspection object 7 from the server 2a. Then, the process proceeds to step S930.

[0177] In step S930, the management terminal display output processing unit 47 displays the attached information 83 on the management terminal display unit 42 based on the acquired information of the attached information 83. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S410.

[0178] Although the above describes the case where the attached information 83 is displayed on the management terminal device 3a, the attached information 83 can also be displayed on the mobile terminal device 4a in the same manner as above by using the linked inspection result table acquisition unit 61 and the attached information acquisition unit 62.

[0179] The person who views the inspection results on the inspection result table 24 is basically user U1 in the management office. User U1 does not generally go to the inspection site of inspection object 7, so it is difficult for user U1 to get an image of the inspection site and inspection object 7 just by looking at the inspection form 21 or inspection result table 24. It is particularly difficult for unskilled user U1 with little management experience to get an image of the inspection site and inspection object 7.

[0180] Therefore, in the third embodiment, a link to the attached information 83 is attached to the linked inspection result table 84. That is, the inspection work support system 1a is configured to provide a map button 812 and a 3D image button 813, which are buttons for performing an attached information transmission request operation, which is an operation for the user to request the transmission of the attached information 83 of the inspection target 7, in the link display section 811 of the linked inspection result table 84, so that the attached information 83 of the inspection target 7 can be easily acquired from the server 2a. This allows the management terminal device 3a to immediately shift the display screen of the management terminal display section 42 from the linked inspection result table 84 to the display screen of the attached information 83.

[0181] This makes it easier for user U1 to obtain an image of the inspection site and the inspection target 7 from the display screen of the attached information 83. Furthermore, when user U1 looks at the inspection results in the linked inspection result table 84 and thinks there is an abnormality or problem, he or she can reduce the effort of searching for the location of the corresponding inspection target 7 and an image of the actual inspection target 7.

[0182] Fig. 26 is a diagram showing an example of a map that is attached information in the inspection work support system according to the third embodiment. By looking at the map 101 shown in Fig. 26, the user U1 can easily understand how to get to the inspection equipment of the inspection target 7.

[0183] Fig. 27 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a three-dimensional image that is attached information in the inspection work support system according to the third embodiment. User U1 can deepen his / her understanding of the inspection object 7 by viewing the three-dimensional image 103 displayed on the display screen 102 shown in Fig. 27. In addition, the display screen 102 is provided with an information display unit 104 that displays information about the inspection object 7 for which the three-dimensional image 103 is displayed. User U1 can deepen his / her understanding of the inspection object 7 by viewing the information displayed on the information display unit 104.

[0184] By displaying a three-dimensional image of the inspection object 7 as the additional information 83 on the management terminal display unit 42 of the management terminal device 3a, it is possible to convey a better image of the inspection object 7 to the user U1 than when a two-dimensional image of the inspection object 7 is used as the additional information 83.

[0185] According to the server 2a of the above-mentioned third embodiment, a server is realized that includes an inspection result table creation unit that creates an inspection result table into which information on the inspection results of the inspection object is input, and a link processing unit that associates the inspection result table with attached information, which is information indicating details of the inspection object, and creates a linked inspection result table in which a link to the attached information is attached.

[0186] As described above, in the inspection work support system 1a according to the third embodiment, a link to the attached information 83 is attached to the linked inspection result table 84.
