Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a construction work information browsing and management system that enables on-site materials to be displayed, browsed, and downloaded at a construction site by reading a QR code (registered trademark) with a mobile terminal.

Background Art

[0002] At the site of new construction or renovation work in construction, there are multiple documents required at the construction site, such as new entrant education materials, safety materials, general temporary design plans, construction drawings, plan drawings, inspection sheets, entry / exit records, etc. These documents are important construction information at the construction site, related to site safety, construction design, construction progress, inspection, etc. Craftsmen and management personnel on site always need to understand the latest information. At the construction site, cross curtains and safety posters are used on scaffolds, temporary enclosures, window glasses, etc. to display construction information and safety information.

[0003] These construction work information is often delivered to the subcontracting company in the form of documents. Regardless of the date and time, when the on-site documents arrive, the work of sorting and classifying the documents also increases, which is a heavy burden as a task before going out to the site. Furthermore, it is possible to forget the material documents of construction work information on the day of on-site work, resulting in either retrieving the documents or proceeding with the work without the information of the documents, which is a very dangerous and inefficient information transmission method for the craftsmen on site. In recent years, from the perspective of risk management, health status management represented by heat stroke at the construction site has also emphasized heat stroke information and health management information.

[0004] In the above technical field, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology related to an electronic document output system and method using a QR code.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-109688 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] In the field of construction, there is a need for new methods of communication that can replace paper documents, particularly for conveying information regarding on-site safety and construction design.

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new information transmission function that solves the above-mentioned problems, and to provide integrated system technology that enables user registration, authentication, document viewing records and entry / exit records, issuance of QR codes (registered trademark), display and download of construction site information and safety information, such as document files, image data, and video data, a list of viewed documents, and document history for each site, using a web server, cloud server, and various terminal devices. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To address the aforementioned challenges, we provide a safe and 24 / 7 accessibility management system for construction project information, which allows users to access and download information related to site safety and construction design documents and other materials by scanning QR codes using mobile devices such as smartphones at construction sites. Information regarding the viewing of documents and other materials is managed through a system that integrates web servers, cloud servers, and various terminals. The various terminals are portable information terminals operated by the construction information management company and the viewers. Confidential information such as viewed documents, viewing records, entry / exit records, and user registration information is stored and managed on a cloud server. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to this invention, it is possible to access all kinds of construction information with just a single communication terminal such as a smartphone, and to instantly upload information materials using the internet. This system and method contribute to a new method of communication that replaces paper documents as a way to transmit information related to on-site safety and construction design. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] Design example of a QR code sign according to the present invention [Figure 4] Example of QR code sign installation at a construction site entrance. [Figure 5] Example of a QR code sign being installed alongside a construction business license. [Figure 6] Examples of freestanding QR code signs [Figure 7] Example of a tabletop QR code sign [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] The following describes a building construction information viewing and management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. <First Embodiment> Figure 1 is an overall network configuration diagram of a building construction information viewing and management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the construction information viewing and management system includes, for example, a construction site worker terminal 10, an information provider terminal 20, a web server 30 and a cloud server DB 40, and a QR code 50 for on-site display. The construction site worker terminal 10 is a user terminal for viewing and using construction information and safety information at a construction site. The information provider terminal 20 is a terminal used by information providers to upload information materials to the web server 30 and to manage the status of information transmission, such as viewing records and entry / exit records. The WEB server 30 is a server equipped with system programs such as user registration and QR code issuance. The cloud server DB40 is a server equipped with a database for accumulating user registration information, browsing information, and document confidential information. The on-site posting QR code 50 can read construction information and safety information at the construction site by printing and monitor-displaying it on on-site bulletin boards, etc.

[0012] Figure 2 shows the system diagram of the registration, QR code reading, and document display of the present invention. User registration is performed by the construction site worker terminal 10. After the user registration is completed, the construction information and safety information at the site can be browsed and downloaded by reading the on-site posting QR code 50 with the construction site worker terminal 10. Figure 3 shows an example diagram of the QR code signboard of the present invention. Figure 4 shows an example of installing the QR code signboard at the entrance of the construction site. On the perimeter wall of the construction site, there are boards for posting safety information such as new entrant education and disaster consultation meetings, and bulletin boards for posting construction information and progress information. A QR code is printed on the bulletin board and posted. Figure 5 shows an example of installing the QR code signboard in parallel with the construction industry permit. Figure 6 shows an example of a self-standing QR code signboard. Figure 7 shows an example of a desktop QR code signboard. All the designs and shapes in this case are just one example and are not limited to this example diagram.

[0013] Although QR codes are used, when the confidentiality of information documents is high, the security function can be enhanced by combining QR codes with two-factor authentication. For example, a one-time password can be issued after reading the QR code, and the information can be displayed by inputting the one-time password.

[0014] The construction site worker terminal 10 and the information provider terminal 20 may be smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. The web server and cloud server DB40 are implemented by servers operated by the operator of the construction information viewing and management system.

[0015] The web server 30 is accessed via the network from the construction site worker terminal 10 and the information provider terminal 20.

[0016] The web server 30 accesses the cloud server DB 40 and retrieves information from the cloud server DB 40 in response to display requests from the construction site worker terminal 10 and the information provider terminal 20.

[0017] User registration information, browsing records, entry / exit records, and health management data are automatically written to the cloud server DB40, and data management is handled by the information provider. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that allows users to input their health checks upon entering the work site or during breaks. In addition, when uploading documents about heatstroke, it is possible to individually add functions that allow users to check who viewed the documents, the likelihood of heatstroke, and other health management reports. By adding these functions, it is expected that the likelihood of preventing disasters will increase.

[0018] The following explanation is based on commonly used terminology. The terminal should preferably be a mobile device, and can be a smartphone, PC, or any other device. The terminal should be equipped with means (functions) for sending and receiving construction information and safety information from the construction site, such as document files, image data, and video data. [Industrial applicability]

[0019] This invention is designed to facilitate the transmission and dissemination of construction and safety information at construction sites, including viewing records and entry / exit records, with the aim of preventing accidents at work sites and ensuring adherence to schedules and project completion. However, it may also be applicable in fields such as medicine and education as a method for monitoring life and growth. [Explanation of symbols]
