Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the cable progress information system, the control method for the cable progress information system (hereinafter also simply referred to as the control method), and the control program for cable progress information (hereinafter also simply referred to as the control program) relating to this disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 12. Below, we will first explain the cables and conduits that are managed by the cable progress information system.

[0012] [Configuration of cables and conduits] As shown in Figure 1, for example, cable 100 is used as a corded cable 110 by attaching a tag 105 to which a cable cord 106 is printed. In this embodiment, multiple corded cables 110 (cables 100) are used. For example, cable 100 has a core wire 101 and an insulating sheath 102. The core wire 101 is formed by twisting together multiple conductive strands. The insulating coating 102 is made of an electrically insulating material and covers the outer surface of the core wire 101. Both ends of the core wire 101 in the longitudinal direction protrude beyond the insulating coating 102. Cable 100 may be cut from a roll of cable. However, cable 100 is not limited to this, and may also be, for example, an information communication line (e.g., a LAN cable) or a power cable.

[0013] The cable code 106 is a barcode, including, for example, a two-dimensional barcode (e.g., QR code®), a one-dimensional barcode, etc. The cable code 106 includes cable information that identifies a cable ID (IDentification) that can identify each of the multiple cables 100. The cable IDs identified by the cable information contained in the cable code 106 of the multiple corded cables 110 are different from each other. The tag 105 is attached to the first longitudinal end of the insulating sheath 102 of the cable 100. Alternatively, the tag 105 may be attached to both longitudinal ends of the insulating sheath 102 of the cable 100. Alternatively, the tag 105 may not be used, and the cable cord 106 may be printed on the insulating sheath 102 of the cable 100. Furthermore, an RFID tag (IC tag) may be used instead of the cable cord 106. In the following, the corded cable 110 will also be referred to as cable 100.

[0014] Cable 100 is laid by performing the following steps (1) to (3) in order. (1) Commencement of the laying work of multiple cables 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as (1) commencement of laying work). Specifically, a cable is cut from a roll, and the insulation coating is stripped from both ends in the longitudinal direction to form a cable 100. A tag 105 is then attached to the cable 100 and placed between terminal block 115 and terminal block 120, as shown in Figure 1. Note that (1) commencement of laying work may include at least one of the commencement of laying work for multiple cables 100 and the completion of laying work for multiple cables 100.

[0015] (2) Completion of the installation of the conduit for cable 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as (2) Completion of installation work). As shown in Figure 2, the conduit 125 is a component for protecting the cable 100. The conduit 125 is formed in a tubular shape from metal, resin, or the like. Alternatively, a tag 105 with the cable cord 106 printed on it may be attached to the conduit 125. (2) When the installation is complete, specifically, the cable 100 is passed through the conduit 125, and both ends of the core wire 101 are made to protrude from the conduit 125. (3) Completion of the wiring work at both ends of cable 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as (3) Completion of wiring work). Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the first end of the core wire 101 of cable 100 is connected to terminal 116 of terminal block 115, and the second end of the core wire 101 of cable 100 is connected to terminal 121 of terminal block 120.

[0016] [Configuration of the Cable Progress Information System] Next, I will explain the cable progress information system. The cable progress information system handles progress information (multiple progress information) related to the work (1) to (3) for each of the multiple cables 100. The progress information shows the progress of the laying of each of the multiple cables 100. The progress information indicates at least one of the following for each of the multiple cables 100: (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work for each of the multiple cables 100, and (3) completion of connection work for each of the multiple cables 100. (3) Completion of the wiring work may be defined as completion of the wiring work at at least one end of the cable 100, or completion of the wiring work at only one end of the cable 100.

[0017] As shown in Figure 4, for example, the cable progress information system 1 includes a data server (computer) 10, a processing server (computer) 15, and multiple mobile terminals 35. Note that only one mobile terminal 35 is shown in Figure 4. The data server 10 constitutes a so-called cloud and is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory, etc. The data server 10 functions as a storage unit. The data server 10 is capable of wireless communication.

[0018] The processing server 15 comprises a main unit 16 and a display unit 26. As shown in Figure 5, the display unit 26 is a liquid crystal display or the like. An image is displayed on the display surface 26a of the display unit 26. The main unit 16 functionally comprises a memory control means 18, an output means 19, a display control means 20, a notification means 21, a wireless communication unit 22, and a main unit storage unit 23. The memory control means 18, the output means 19, the display control means 20, the notification means 21, the wireless communication unit 22, and the main unit storage unit 23 are connected to each other by a bus 24.

[0019] The memory control means 18, output means 19, display control means 20, notification means 21, and wireless communication unit 22 are composed of a CPU, memory, etc. The main storage unit 23 is composed of memory. The memory control means 18 associates multiple cable IDs with multiple progress information and stores them in the data server (storage unit) 10. Here, an example of the cable ID and progress information stored in the data server 10 is shown in Figure 6.

[0020] For example, for cable 100, whose cable ID is "1", the cable ID and progress information are stored in record format. Note that in Table 1, "Progress Information," "(1) Commencement of Laying Work," and "Start" (i.e., the top three rows) are actually stored in a single-line record format, but are shown on separate lines for the sake of explanation. Note that the fields for each task described below in each record are initially pre-filled with the value "0" (though this is not shown in the diagram). Therefore, when the first weighting coefficient, described later, is entered into these fields, the values ​​of the fields will increase.

[0021] (1) Regarding the commencement of laying work, for example, when the "start" work is completed, "0.5(W)" will be entered in this "start" field. 1,1 The first weighting coefficient of ) is entered. For example, the "start" operation is (1) the operation of starting the laying work, which is to "cut out the rolled cable and attach the tag 105 to the cable 100 which is made by stripping the insulation coating from both ends in the longitudinal direction." (1) Regarding the commencement of laying work, for example, when the "completion" work is completed, enter "0.5(W)" in this "completion" field. 1,2 The first weighting coefficient of ) is entered. For example, the "completion" task is the task of "placing cable 100 between terminal block 115 and terminal block 120" in (1) commencement of laying work. (W 1,1 +W 1,2 The value of ) is set to 1. That is, W 1,i The sum of ΣW over a natural number i. 1,i It becomes 1. (1) The commencement of laying work consists of two tasks.

[0022] (2) Regarding the completion of the installation work, for example, when the work of "start" is completed, the first weighting coefficient of "0.5 (W 2,1 )" is entered into the field of "start". For example, the work of "start" is the work of "arranging the wire conduit 125 along the cable 100" in (2) when the installation work is completed. (2) Regarding the completion of the installation work, for example, when the work of "end" is completed, the first weighting coefficient of "0.5 (W 2,2 )" is entered into the field of "end". For example, the work of "end" is the work of "passing the cable 100 through the wire conduit 125" in (2) when the installation work is completed. Note that the value of (W 2,1 + W 2,2 ) is set to be 1. That is, the sum of W 2,i for i, ΣW 2,i is 1. The completion of (2) installation work consists of two operations.

[0023] (3) Regarding the completion of the wiring work, for example, when the work of "one end" is completed, the first weighting coefficient of "0.5 (W 3,1 )" is entered into the field of "one end". For example, the work of "one end" is the work of "connecting the first end of the core wire 101 of the cable 100 to the terminal 116" in (3) when the wiring work is completed. (3) Regarding the completion of the wiring work, for example, when the work of "the other end" is completed, the first weighting coefficient of "0.5 (W 3,2 )" is entered into the field of "the other end". For example, the work of "the other end" is the work of "connecting the second end of the core wire 101 of the cable 100 to the terminal 121" in (3) when the wiring work is completed. Note that the value of (W 3,1 + W 3,2 ) is set to be 1. That is, the sum of W 3,i for i, ΣW 3,i is 1. The completion of (3) wiring work consists of two operations.

[0024] Similar to cable 100, which has cable ID "1", cable IDs "2", "3", and so on, are also stored in record format for cables 100 with cable IDs "2", "3", and so on.

[0025] The data server 10 also stores second weighting coefficients λ1, λ2, and λ3 corresponding to the difficulty level of the following tasks: (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work, and (3) completion of wiring work. For example, the second weighting coefficient λ1 is the second weighting coefficient for (1) commencement of laying work. The second weighting coefficients λ2 and λ3 are the second weighting coefficients for (2) completion of installation work and (3) completion of wiring work. For example, if the work becomes more difficult in the order of (1) starting the laying work, (3) completing the wiring work, and (2) completing the installation work, then the ratio would be set as "λ1 < λ3 < λ2". For example, the second weighting coefficients λ1, λ2, and λ3 are weighted by the ratio of the time it takes for one worker on average to complete each of the above tasks (1) to (3) that corresponds to a score of "1".

[0026] The output means 19 converts each of the multiple progress information items stored in the data server 10 into a score (points) and outputs it. The score here may be a numerical value, a graph, or something else. For example, if the number of multiple cables 100 is N, the score S1 can be calculated from equation (1). S1=N(λ1ΣW 1,i +λ2ΣW 2,i +λ3ΣW 3,i ) ··(1)

[0027] (1) The commencement of laying work may consist of one operation or three or more operations. (2) The completion of installation work and (3) the completion of wiring work are the same as (1) the commencement of laying work. Figure 6 shows a status table created by the memory control means 18 by associating multiple cable IDs with multiple progress information. The memory control means 18 stores the status table in the data server 10.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5, the display control means 20 is connected to the display unit 26. The display control means 20 causes the score, etc., to be displayed on the display surface 26a of the display unit 26. For example, the notification means 21 provides notification on the display surface 26a of the display unit 26. The notification means may also provide notification by sound or other means. The wireless communication unit 22 communicates wirelessly with the data server 10. The main storage unit 23 stores the control program 23a, etc. The control program 23a causes the processing server 15 (cable progress information system 1) to function as a storage control means 18, an output means 19, and a display control means 20. The control program 23a is a program for the cable progress information system 1.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the mobile terminal 35 functionally includes a display input unit 36, a reading unit 37, a wireless communication unit 38, and a control unit (not shown). The display input unit 36 ​​accepts input from the operator and displays it. The reading unit 37 reads the cable code 106 of the cable 100. If an RFID tag is used instead of the cable code 106, the reading unit 37 may be an IC reader. The wireless communication unit 38 communicates wirelessly with the data server 10. The control unit identifies the cable ID, which is cable information, from the read cable code 106. Along with the cable ID, the control unit sends inputs from the worker regarding the completion of the work, namely (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work, and (3) completion of wiring work, to the data server 10.

[0030] Specifically, the control unit sends the cable ID along with the completion of the following tasks to the data server 10: (1) Start of laying work, (1) End of start of laying work, (2) Start of completion of installation work, (2) End of completion of installation work, (3) Completion of one end of wiring work, and (3) Completion of the other end of wiring work.

[0031] [Operation of the Cable Progress Information System] The following describes an example of applying the cable progress information system 1 to a building with multiple floors (levels). Let's explain using the example where worker 1, holding a mobile terminal 35, lays cables 100 on the first floor of a building, and worker 2, holding a different mobile terminal 35, lays cables 100 on the second floor of the building. That is, for worker 1, the area information indicating the area where each of the multiple cables 100 is laid is, for example, "first floor." For worker 2, the area information indicating the area where each of the multiple cables 100 is laid is, for example, "second floor." Worker 1 proceeds to lay cables 100 with cable IDs "1" and "2" on the first floor of the building. Worker 2 proceeds to lay cables 100 with cable IDs "3" and "4" on the second floor of the building. Furthermore, the number of workers using the cable progress information system 1 is not limited to two; it may be three or more.

[0032] Here, an example of an area table created for worker 1 is shown in Figure 7. The area table is a table that associates multiple cable IDs with multiple area information entries that indicate the area in which each of the multiple cables 100 is laid. Similarly, an example of an area table created for worker 2 is shown in Figure 8.

[0033] The memory control means 18 causes these area tables to be stored in the data server 10.

[0034] For example, worker 1 completes the (1) start of laying work on the first floor of the building and reads the cable code 106 of cable 100 with the reader 37 of the mobile terminal 35. Suppose the cable ID at this time is "1". Worker 1 operates the display input unit 36 ​​of the mobile terminal 35 to input the completion of the (1) start of laying work. The control unit of the mobile terminal 35 then transmits the cable ID and the information that "(1) the start of laying work has been completed" to the data server 10. Then, the "(1) Start of laying work" field for cable ID "1" in the status table is entered with a first weighting coefficient of "0.5". Similarly, after each task is completed, worker 1 reads the cable cord 106 of cable 100 with the reader 37 of the mobile terminal 35 and inputs the corresponding task completion.

[0035] Worker 2 completes the (1) Start of installation work on the second floor of the building and reads the cable code 106 of cable 100 with the reader 37 of the mobile terminal 35. Assume the cable ID at this time is "3". Worker 2 operates the display input unit 36 ​​of the mobile terminal 35 to input the completion of the (1) Start of installation work. The control unit of the mobile terminal 35 then transmits the cable ID and the information that "(1) Start of installation work has been completed" to the data server 10. Then, the "(1) Start of installation work" field for cable ID "3" in the status table is entered with a first weighting coefficient of "0.5". Similarly, after each task is completed, worker 2 reads the cable cord 106 of cable 100 with the reader 37 of the mobile terminal 35 and inputs the completion of the corresponding task.

[0036] When the work performed by worker 1 and worker 2 for a predetermined period (e.g., during the day) is completed, the status table and each area table are sent from data server 10 to processing server 15, for example, at night each day. The processing server 15 associates the status table and each area table based on the cable ID to create the integrated table shown in Figure 9.

[0037] The integrated table is created by inserting the area information from the area tables shown in Figures 7 and 8 into the corresponding cable IDs in the records of the table shown in Figure 6. Note that the integration table does not need to be created.

[0038] The progress information may include first progress information indicating at least one of (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work, and (3) completion of wiring work, and second progress information indicating at least one of (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work, and (3) completion of wiring work that is different from the first progress information. Specifically, for example, the first progress information may be (1) commencement of laying work and the second progress information may be (2) completion of installation work.

[0039] The first weighting value used by the output means 19 to convert the first progress information into a first score (score) and the second weighting value used by the output means 19 to convert the second progress information into a second score (score) may be different from each other. The first weighting value and the second weighting value may be equal to each other. In other words, the score includes a first score output by the output means 19 after converting the first progress information, and a second score output by the output means 19 after converting the second progress information. Specifically, for example, the score includes a first score output by the output means 19 after converting (1) the commencement of laying work, and a second score output by the output means 19 after converting (2) the completion of installation work.

[0040] Specifically, for example, the second weighting coefficient λ1 used by the output means 19 to convert (1) commencement of laying work into a first score and the second weighting coefficient λ2 used by the output means 19 to convert (2) completion of installation work into a second score (score) may be different. For example, the first score S2 can be calculated using equation (2), and the second score S3 can be calculated using equation (3). S2=N(λ1ΣW 1,i ) ··(2) S3 = N(λ²ΣW) 2,i ) ··(3)

[0041] For example, when calculating the first score, only the second weighting coefficient λ1 is affected, and the second weighting coefficients λ2 and λ3 are not. Therefore, the first score S2 may be calculated using equation (2a) without considering the effect of the second weighting coefficient λ1. Similarly, the second score S3 may be calculated using equation (3a). S2 = N(ΣW) 1,i ) ··(2a) S3 = N(ΣW) 2,i ) ··(3a)

[0042] The memory control means 18 may store the first progress information and the first weighting value in the data server 10 in association with each other, and may also store the second progress information and the second weighting value in the data server 10 in association with each other. Specifically, for example, the memory control means 18 may store (1) the commencement of laying work and the value of the second weighting coefficient λ1 in association with each other in the data server 10, and (2) the completion of installation work and the second weighting coefficient λ2 in association with each other in the data server 10. The value of the first weight is determined based on at least one of the second weighting coefficients λ1, λ2, and λ3. The value of the second weight is determined based on at least one of the second weighting coefficients λ1, λ2, and λ3 that is different from the second weighting coefficients λ1, λ2, and λ3 used for the first weight.

[0043] Furthermore, the output means 19 may convert each of the multiple progress information (first progress information and second progress information) stored in the data server 10 into a score and output it, based on the information stored in the data server 10. Specifically, for example, the output means 19 may convert each of (1) commencement of laying work and (2) completion of installation work, stored in the data server 10, into a first score and a second score and output them, based on the information stored in the data server 10.

[0044] In this case, the display control means 20 may display the first score and the second score on the display unit 26. Specifically, for example, the display control means 20 may display (1) the first score related to the commencement of laying work and (2) the second score related to the completion of installation work on the display unit 26. An example of the displayed result is shown in Figure 10. In this case, the display area R1 on the display surface 26a of the display unit 26 where the first score is displayed and the display area R2 on the display surface 26a of the display unit 26 may be different from each other. In Figure 10, the first score is displayed as a variable for the date in the left window on the left side of the display surface 26a. The second score is displayed as a variable for the date in the right window on the right side of the display surface 26a.

[0045] Furthermore, the window displaying the first score and the window displaying the second score may overlap in a direction perpendicular to the display surface 26a. Even in this case, the display areas of the two windows can be made different by switching the active window displayed on the display surface 26a from among the multiple windows. The display area for the first score and the display area for the second score may be the same.

[0046] During work performed by worker 1, etc., notification means 21 may provide the following notification: In the following, we assume that progress information includes (2) first progress information indicating the completion of installation work, and (3) second progress information indicating the completion of wiring work. The notification means 21 may, based on the first progress information and the second progress information stored in the data server 10, notify the cable 100 of which of the multiple cables 100 has not yet completed the corresponding (2) installation work (installation work) and has already completed the corresponding (3) wiring work (wiring work). For example, with respect to cable 100 with cable ID "3", if (2) installation work has not been completed, but (3) wiring work has been completed, this notification can be made, for example, as shown in Figure 11, by adding color or hatching to the field R6 corresponding to (2) installation work completed and (3) wiring work completed in the status table displayed on the display surface 26a of the display unit 26.

[0047] In this case, the notification means 21 may also notify, based on the first progress information and the second progress information stored in the data server 10, whether the corresponding (2) installation work (installation work of the conduit 125) has been completed for any of the multiple cables 100 for which the corresponding (3) connection work (connection work) has not been completed.

[0048] [Control method for cable progress information system] As shown in Figure 12, the control method S10 of this embodiment comprises a memory control step S11 and an output step S12. The memory control step S11 associates multiple cable IDs and multiple progress information and stores them in the data server 10. Output step S12 converts each of the multiple progress information items to be stored in the data server 10 into a score and outputs it. By performing the above steps, all steps of the control method S10 are completed.

[0049] [Effects of this embodiment] As described above, in the cable progress information system 1 of this embodiment, the storage control means 18 associates the cable ID with a plurality of progress information indicating the progress of the laying of each of the plurality of cables and stores them in the data server 10. This progress information indicates at least one of the following: (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work, and (3) completion of wiring work. Furthermore, since the output means 19 converts each of the multiple progress information items stored in the data server 10 into a score and outputs it, the multiple progress information items become easier to understand as numerical values. Therefore, the progress of laying cable 100 can be managed more precisely.

[0050] The progress information includes first progress information and second progress information. This allows the progress information to be shown using first progress information and second progress information that is different from first progress information. Therefore, the progress of laying cable 100 can be grasped separately using first progress information and second progress information. The first weighting value and the second weighting value are different. Therefore, for example, by making the first weighting value, which represents the difficulty of the work corresponding to the first progress information, and the second weighting value, which represents the difficulty of the work corresponding to the second progress information, different, the progress of laying the cable 100 can be managed more appropriately for the worker, taking into account the difficulty of the work.

[0051] The memory control means 18 may store the first progress information and the first weighting value in the data server 10 in association with each other, and may also store the second progress information and the second weighting value in the data server 10 in association with each other. In this case, the output means 19 may further convert each of the multiple progress information (first progress information and second progress information) stored in the data server 10 into a score and output it, based on the information stored in the data server 10. In this case, for example, progress information obtained by the worker can be converted into a score and output, taking into account the difficulty of the task to make it more appropriate for the worker.

[0052] The score includes a first score and a second score, and the display area R1 where the first score is displayed and the display area R2 where the second score is displayed may be different. In this case, the user of the cable progress information system 1 can view the first and second scores simultaneously, and the user can grasp both scores corresponding to the progress information at the same time.

[0053] The notification means 21 may notify of a cable 100 among several cables 100 that has not yet completed the corresponding (2) installation work and has already completed the corresponding (3) wiring work, based on the first progress information and second progress information stored in the data server 10. Once (3) the wiring work is completed for a certain cable 100, it becomes impossible to complete (2) the installation work for that cable 100. In this disclosure, the cable 100 for which the (3) wiring work has been completed before the completion of (2) the installation work can be notified by the notification means 21 and made known to the user.

[0054] The notification means 21 may notify, based on the first progress information and the second progress information stored in the data server 10, of the multiple cables 100, which have not yet completed the corresponding (2) installation work (installation work) and which have completed the corresponding (3) wiring work (wiring work). If (3) the completion of the wiring work is completed for a certain cable 100, then (2) the completion of the installation work for that cable 100 becomes impossible. By notifying via the notification means 21 whether or not the (2) installation work has been completed for a cable 100 among multiple cables 100 for which the corresponding (3) wiring work has not been completed, it is possible to prevent the (3) wiring work from being completed before the (2) installation work is completed. This makes it easier for the user to understand that the reason why the (3) wiring work has not been completed is because the (2) installation work has not been completed.

[0055] The memory control means 18 causes the status table and multiple area tables to be stored in the data server 10. Therefore, for example, multiple area tables created by dividing workers by area can be integrated based on the cable ID that is common to the status table and area tables. Thus, it is possible to have an area table for each worker.

[0056] Furthermore, in the control method S10 of this embodiment, in the memory control step S11, the cable ID and multiple progress information indicating the progress of the laying of each of the multiple cables are associated and stored in the data server 10. This progress information indicates at least one of the following: (1) commencement of laying work, (2) completion of installation work, and (3) completion of wiring work. Furthermore, in output step S12, each of the multiple progress information items stored in the data server 10 is converted into a score and output, making it easier to understand the multiple progress information items as numerical values. Therefore, the progress of laying cable 100 can be managed more precisely.

[0057] Furthermore, in the control program 23a of this embodiment, the memory control means 18 associates the cable ID with multiple progress information indicating the progress of the laying of each of the multiple cables and stores them in the data server 10. Furthermore, since the output means 19 converts each of the multiple progress information items stored in the data server 10 into a score and outputs it, the multiple progress information items become easier to understand as numerical values. Therefore, the progress of laying cable 100 can be managed more precisely.

[0058] Although one embodiment of this disclosure has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment and includes modifications, combinations, deletions, etc. of the configuration that do not depart from the gist of this disclosure. For example, in the above embodiment, the storage control means 18 does not need to store the status table and the multiple area tables in the data server 10.

[0059] The processing server 15 does not necessarily have to include at least one of the display control means 20, the notification means 21, and the display unit 26. In the cable progress information system 1, the data server 10 and the processing server 15 may be configured as a single unit.

[0060] (Note) (1) Aspect 1 of the present disclosure is a cable progress information system comprising: a storage control means for storing in a storage unit a plurality of cable IDs that can identify each of a plurality of cables and a plurality of progress information indicating the progress of the laying of each of the plurality of cables in association with each of the plurality of cables; and an output means for converting each of the plurality of progress information stored in the storage unit into a score and outputting it, wherein the progress information indicates at least one of the following: commencement of laying work for each of the plurality of cables, completion of installation work on conduits for each of the plurality of cables, and completion of connection work at at least one end of each of the plurality of cables.

[0061] In this disclosure, the memory control means stores in the memory unit a cable ID and a plurality of progress information indicating the progress of the laying of each of the plurality of cables in association with each other. This progress information indicates at least one of the different operations in cable laying, namely the commencement of cable laying work, the completion of conduit installation work, and the completion of cable connection work. Furthermore, since the output means converts each of the multiple progress information items stored in the memory unit into a score and outputs it, the multiple progress information items become easier to understand as numerical values. Therefore, the progress of cable laying can be managed more precisely.

[0062] (2) Aspect 2 of the Disclosure may be the cable progress information system described in (1), wherein the progress information includes first progress information indicating at least one of the progress information and second progress information indicating at least one of the progress information different from the first progress information. This disclosure allows progress information to be shown using first progress information and second progress information that is different from the first progress information. Therefore, the progress of cable laying can be understood separately using first progress information and second progress information.

[0063] (3) Aspect 3 of the present disclosure may be the cable progress information system described in (2), wherein the first weighting value used by the output means to convert the first progress information and the second weighting value used by the output means to convert the second progress information are different. This disclosure allows for the management of cable laying progress in a more appropriate manner for workers, taking into account the difficulty of the work, by differentiating, for example, the first weighting value representing the difficulty of the work corresponding to the first progress information and the second weighting value representing the difficulty of the work corresponding to the second progress information.

[0064] (4) Aspect 4 of the present disclosure may be the cable progress information system described in (3), wherein the memory control means stores the first progress information and the first weighting value in association with each other in the memory unit, and stores the second progress information and the second weighting value in association with each other in the memory unit, and the output means converts each of the plurality of progress information to be stored in the memory unit into the score and outputs it based on the information stored in the memory unit. This disclosure, for example, allows for the conversion of progress information obtained more appropriately for the worker, taking into account the difficulty of the task, into a score and outputting it.

This disclosure allows users of the cable progress information system to view the first and second scores simultaneously, enabling them to grasp both scores corresponding to the progress information at the same time.

[0066] (6) Aspect 6 of the present disclosure further includes a notification means, wherein the progress information includes first progress information indicating the completion of the installation work on the conduit for each of the plurality of cables, and second progress information indicating the completion of the wiring work for each of the plurality of cables, and the notification means notifies of the cables among the plurality of cables for which the corresponding installation work has not been completed and the corresponding wiring work has been completed, the cable progress information system according to any one of (1) to (5). Once the wiring work is completed for a particular cable, it becomes impossible to install conduit around that cable. This disclosure allows for notification via a notification mechanism to inform users of cables for which the wiring work has been completed before the installation of conduit.

[0067] (7) Aspect 7 of the present disclosure further includes a notification means, wherein the progress information includes first progress information indicating the completion of the installation work on the conduit for each of the plurality of cables, and second progress information indicating the completion of the wiring work for each of the plurality of cables, and the notification means notifies whether the installation work on the conduit corresponding to the cable for which the corresponding wiring work has not been completed has been completed among the plurality of cables, based on the first progress information and the second progress information stored in the storage unit, the cable progress information system according to any one of (1) to (6). Once the wiring work is completed for a particular cable, it becomes impossible to install conduit around that cable. This disclosure prevents the wiring work from being completed before the conduit installation work by notifying, through a notification mechanism, whether or not the conduit installation work for a cable whose wiring work has not yet been completed has been completed. This makes it easier for the user to understand that the reason the wiring work is not completed is because the installation work has not been completed.

[0068] (8) Embodiment 8 of the present disclosure is a cable progress information system according to any one of (1) to (7), wherein the storage control means stores in the storage unit a status table relating the plurality of cable IDs and the plurality of progress information, and stores in the storage unit an area table relating the plurality of cable IDs and a plurality of area information indicating the area in which each of the plurality of cables is laid. This disclosure allows for the integration of multiple area tables, created by dividing workers by area, based on a cable ID common to both the status table and the area tables. Therefore, it is permissible to have an area table for each worker.

[0069] (9) Aspect 9 of the present disclosure is a control method for a cable progress information system, comprising: a storage control step of storing in a storage unit a plurality of cable IDs that can identify each of a plurality of cables and a plurality of progress information indicating the progress of the laying of each of the plurality of cables in association with each of the plurality of cables; and an output step of converting each of the plurality of progress information stored in the storage unit into a score and outputting it, wherein the progress information indicates at least one of the commencement of the laying work for each of the plurality of cables, the completion of the installation work of the conduit for each of the plurality of cables, and the completion of the wiring work at at least one end of each of the plurality of cables.
