[0012] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 6. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an inspection support system 100. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an inspection support device 200. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of target identification information 241. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of image information 242. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of display by the screen display unit 220. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the inspection support device 200.

[0013] In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, an inspection support system 100 having an inspection support device 200 capable of performing inspection support (for example, inspection support) of firefighting equipment and the like will be described. As will be described later, when acquiring image data, the inspection support device 200 makes it possible to identify an inspection target corresponding to the acquired image data by associating the image data with target identification information, which is identification information indicating an inspection target, based on target identification information 241. Then, the inspection support device 200 transmits the image data to a server device 300 in a state in which it is possible to identify an inspection target corresponding to the acquired image data.

[0014] Fig. 1 shows a configuration example of an inspection support system 100. Referring to Fig. 1, the inspection support system 100 includes, for example, an inspection support device 200 and a server device 300. As shown in Fig. 1, the inspection support device 200 and the server device 300 can be connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via wired or wireless communication.

[0015] The inspection support device 200 is an information processing device capable of providing support for the inspection of firefighting equipment, etc. For example, the inspection support device 200 is a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet. The inspection support device 200 is owned by a person at the site to be inspected (for example, a building owner or a fire prevention manager) and is operated by the person at the site.

[0016] Fig. 2 shows a configuration example of the inspection support device 200. Referring to Fig. 2, the inspection support device 200 has, as main components, for example, a camera 210, a screen display unit 220, a communication I / F unit 230, a storage unit 240, and a calculation processing unit 250. The inspection support device 200 is also configured to be able to acquire location information. For example, the inspection support device 200 may acquire location information using any means, such as acquiring location information using a GPS function or a beacon signal.

[0017] The camera 210 acquires image data in response to the operation of a person operating the inspection support device 200. For example, the camera 210 can acquire image data of an inspection target such as a fire extinguisher, a fire hydrant, or a sprinkler in response to the operation of the person operating the inspection support device 200.

[0018] The screen display unit 220 is composed of a screen display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The screen display unit 220 can display various information stored in the storage unit 240 on the screen in response to an instruction from the arithmetic processing unit 250. The screen display unit 220 may be a display with a touch panel.

[0019] The communication I / F unit 230 is made up of a data communication circuit and performs data communication with an external device such as a server device 300 connected via a communication line.

[0020] The storage unit 240 is a storage device such as a hard disk or a memory. The storage unit 240 stores processing information and a program 243 required for various processes in the arithmetic processing unit 250. The program 243 is read into the arithmetic processing unit 250 and executed to realize various processing units. The program 243 is read in advance from an external device or a recording medium via a data input / output function such as the communication I / F unit 230, and is stored in the storage unit 240. Main information stored in the storage unit 240 includes, for example, target identification information 241, image information 242, and the like.

[0021] The target identification information 241 indicates information for identifying an inspection target. For example, the target identification information 241 is acquired in advance from the server device 300 or the like and stored in the storage unit 240.

[0022] FIG. 3 shows an example of information included in the target identification information 241. Referring to FIG. 3, the target identification information 241 includes target identification information that is previously assigned to each inspection target, such as a fire extinguisher, a fire hydrant, and a sprinkler. Referring to FIG. 3, the target identification information 241 includes information for identifying the inspection target. For example, the information for identifying the inspection target includes at least one of shooting order information and target position information. Here, the shooting order information is information indicating the order in which image data is acquired. Furthermore, the target position information is information indicating the position of the inspection target. The target position information may be GPS information or the like, or may be information indicating a relative position from a wireless relay device or the like. The target position information may include information indicating a predetermined place name, such as "in front of the west toilet on the first floor" or "inside the AAA room."

[0023] The target identification information 241 may include information other than the above-mentioned examples. For example, the target identification information 241 may include information indicating a classification to which the inspection target belongs, such as "fire extinguishing equipment" or "alarm equipment," and information indicating the name of the inspection target, such as "fire extinguisher" or "fire hydrant." The target identification information 241 may also include information other than the above-mentioned examples that can identify the inspection target, in addition to or instead of the shooting order information and the target position information. For example, the target identification information 241 may include past inspection image data, which is image data acquired during a past inspection (or feature amounts extracted from the past inspection image data), and the like.

[0024] Image information 242 indicates image data acquired by camera 210. For example, image information 242 is updated in accordance with the result of association performed by association unit 252 in response to acquisition of image data by camera 210.

[0025] Fig. 4 shows an example of the image information 242. Referring to Fig. 4, the image information 242 includes image data and object identification information. Here, the object identification information indicates identification information that is given in advance to each inspection object such as a fire extinguisher, a fire hydrant, a sprinkler, etc. The object identification information may be the same as the information included in the object identification information 241.

[0026] Note that the image information 242 may include information other than the above examples. For example, the image information 242 may include information for identifying the inspection target used when performing the association.

[0027] The arithmetic processing unit 250 has an arithmetic device such as a CPU and its peripheral circuits. The arithmetic processing unit 250 reads and executes a program 243 from the storage unit 240, thereby implementing various processing units by making the above hardware and the program 243 work together. Major processing units implemented by the arithmetic processing unit 250 include, for example, an image data acquisition unit 251, an association unit 252, a transmission unit 253, and a deletion unit 254.

[0028] The image data acquisition unit 251 acquires image data by, for example, transmitting necessary instructions to the camera 210 in response to an operation of a person operating the inspection support device 200. The image data acquisition unit 251 may acquire information indicating the date and time when the image data was acquired and information indicating the position where the image data was acquired, in addition to acquiring the image data.

[0029] The associating unit 252 associates image data with object identification information corresponding to the image data, based on the object identification information 241. For example, the associating unit 252 performs the association when the image data acquisition unit 251 acquires the image data. The associating unit 252 may perform the association at a timing other than the above-mentioned examples.

[0030] For example, the associating unit 252 can associate the object identification information based on the acquisition order of the image data. For example, the associating unit 252 identifies the object identification information according to the acquisition order of the image data by referring to the object identification information 241. Then, the associating unit 252 associates the identified object identification information with the image data.

[0031] Furthermore, the association unit 252 can associate the target identification information based on information indicating the position where the image data was acquired. For example, the association unit 252 refers to the target identification information 241 to identify target position information whose difference from the position where the image data was acquired is within a predetermined threshold, and identifies target identification information associated with the identified target position information. Then, the association unit 252 associates the identified target identification information with the image data. Note that, when there are multiple pieces of target position information whose difference is within the predetermined threshold, the association unit 252 may identify the target position information using any means, such as identifying the target position information whose difference is the smallest.

[0032] For example, as described above, the associating unit 252 associates the target identification information with the image data by performing processing according to the information included in the target identification information 241. Therefore, depending on the information included in the target identification information 241, the associating unit 252 may perform association by processing other than the above example. For example, when past inspection image data is included in the target identification information 241, the associating unit 252 may identify the target identification information by searching for image data acquired in the past that is similar to the image data acquired by the image data acquisition unit 251. Note that the method of searching for image data may be realized using any means.

[0033] The transmission unit 253 transmits the image information 242 to the server device 300. The transmission unit 253 may transmit data in which the image data and the target identification information are associated with each other to the server device 300 every time new data is stored in the image information 242, or may transmit all the data included in the image information 242 to the server device 300 in response to an operation by a person operating the inspection support device 200, etc.

[0034] The deletion unit 254 deletes data included in the image information 242. For example, the deletion unit 254 deletes data in response to data transmission by the transmission unit 253. The deletion unit 254 can delete the transmitted data from the storage unit 240 every time the transmission unit 253 transmits data in which image data and object identification information are associated with each other.

[0035] Note that the deletion unit 254 may delete the target identification information 241 in addition to the image information 242. For example, every time the deletion unit 254 deletes data that associates image data with target identification information, it can delete the corresponding information included in the target identification information 241. The deletion unit 254 may be configured to delete the target identification information 241 at a predetermined timing, such as after all transmissions of the inspection targets have been completed.

[0036] The above is an example of the configuration of the inspection support device 200.

[0037] At least a part of the target identification information 241 stored in the memory unit 240 and the functions realized by the calculation processing unit 250 may be realized on the inspection support device 200, for example, by the inspection support device 200 reading a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or a QR code (registered trademark) transmitted from the server device 300 using a message transmission means such as SMS (Short Message Service).

[0038] Furthermore, the inspection support device 200 may be configured to display information according to the result of the association by the association unit 252 on the screen display unit 220 or the like so that the person operating the inspection support device 200 can confirm and store the information. For example, FIG. 5 shows an example of display by the screen display unit 220. Referring to FIG. 5, the screen display unit 220 can display on a screen the image data included in the image information 242 and the information included in the target identification information 241 corresponding to the target identification information associated with the image data. The screen display unit 220 may display on a screen information other than the above-mentioned examples.

[0039] The server device 300 is an information processing device that manages image data, etc. The server device 300 has, for example, a calculation device such as a CPU and a storage device, and can realize each process described later by the calculation device executing a program stored in the storage device. The server device 300 is installed in a location away from the site to be inspected, such as a fire station, and is operated by fire department personnel, etc.

[0040] For example, the storage device of the server device 300 stores target identification information corresponding to a plurality of sites. The server device 300 can transmit target identification information corresponding to a site where the inspection support device 200 performs inspection support to the inspection support device 200. The server device 300 may be configured to transmit to the inspection support device 200 a program for implementing the association unit 252, the transmission unit 253, the deletion unit 254, and the like in the inspection support device 200. For example, the server device 300 may transmit a two-dimensional code such as a URL or a QR code (registered trademark) to the inspection support device 200 using an existing message transmission means such as SMS, thereby enabling the inspection support device 200 to realize each of the above functions. For example, the server device 300 may transmit the above information in response to an operation by an inspector performing an inspection.

[0041] Furthermore, the server device 300 receives data in which the image data and the object identification information are associated with each other from the inspection support device 200. Then, the server device 300 can store the received data in a storage device.

[0042] The above is an example of the configuration of the inspection support system 100. Next, an example of the operation of the inspection support device 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0043] 6, the image data acquisition unit 251 acquires image data in response to an operation of the person operating the inspection support device 200 (step S101).

[0044] The associating unit 252 associates the image data with the object identification information corresponding to the image data (step S102) based on the object identification information 241. For example, the associating unit 252 performs the association when the image data acquisition unit 251 acquires the image data.

[0045] The transmitting unit 253 transmits data in which the image data included in the image information 242 is associated with the object identification information to the server device 300 (step S103).

[0046] The deletion unit 254 deletes data included in the image information 242 (step S104). For example, the deletion unit 254 deletes the transmitted data from the storage unit 240 every time the transmission unit 253 transmits data.

[0047] The above is an example of the operation of the inspection support device 200.

[0048] In this way, the inspection support device 200 has the association unit 252 and the transmission unit 253. With this configuration, the transmission unit 253 can transmit data in which the image data and the object identification information are associated with each other to the server device 300. As a result, the server device 300 can easily identify the inspection object corresponding to the image data. This allows fire department personnel to inspect firefighting equipment and the like without actually going to the site, thereby reducing the effort required for inspection.

[0049] In this embodiment, the case where the matching is performed in the inspection support device 200 has been exemplified. However, the matching may be performed in the server device 300. For example, the inspection support device 200 may be configured to match image data with information for identifying an inspection target, such as shooting order information and target position information, and transmit the matched image data to the server device 300. The server device 300 may also be configured to identify target identification information based on information for identifying an inspection target. In this way, the inspection support device 200 may transmit image data so that an inspection target corresponding to the image data can be identified by a method other than the matching exemplified in this embodiment.

[0050] Furthermore, the inspection support device 200 may be configured to transmit video data, which is time-series image data, to the server device 300 in addition to the image data described in this embodiment.

[0051] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 7 to 13. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an inspection support system 400. Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an inspection support device 500. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of discrimination information. Figs. 10 and 11 are diagrams showing display examples of the screen display unit 520. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the inspection support device 500. Fig. 13 shows an example of guidance based on map information.

[0052] In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, similarly to the first embodiment, an inspection support system 400 having an inspection support device 500 capable of supporting the inspection of firefighting equipment and the like will be described. As will be described later, when the inspection support device 500 acquires image data, it associates the image data with object identification information and checks whether the acquired image data satisfies a predetermined condition. Then, the inspection support device 500 stores the image data that satisfies the condition. On the other hand, the inspection support device 500 deletes the image data that does not satisfy the condition.

[0053] Fig. 7 shows a configuration example of the inspection support system 400. Referring to Fig. 7, the inspection support system 400 has, for example, an inspection support device 500 and a server device 600. As shown in Fig. 7, the inspection support device 500 and the server device 600 can be connected so as to be able to communicate with each other via wired or wireless communication.

[0054] The inspection support device 500 is an information processing device capable of providing support for the inspection of firefighting equipment, etc. For example, the inspection support device 500 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet, similar to the inspection support device 200 described in the first embodiment. The inspection support device 500 is possessed by a person (e.g., a building owner or a fire prevention manager) at the site to be inspected, and is operated by the person at the site.

[0055] Fig. 8 shows a configuration example of the inspection support device 500. Referring to Fig. 8, the inspection support device 500 has, as main components, for example, a camera 510, a screen display unit 520, a communication I / F unit 530, a storage unit 540, and a calculation processing unit 550. Furthermore, the inspection support device 500 is configured to be able to acquire position information.

[0056] Camera 510, screen display section 520, and communication I / F section 530 have the same configurations as camera 210, screen display section 220, and communication I / F section 230 described in the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described.

[0057] The storage unit 540 is a storage device such as a hard disk or a memory. The storage unit 540 stores processing information and a program 545 required for various processes in the arithmetic processing unit 550. The program 545 is read into the arithmetic processing unit 550 and executed to realize various processing units. The program 545 is read in advance from an external device or a recording medium via a data input / output function such as the communication I / F unit 530, and is stored in the storage unit 540. Main information stored in the storage unit 540 includes, for example, target identification information 541, image information 542, discrimination information 543, and reference information 544.

[0058] The target identification information 541 indicates information for identifying an inspection target. The target identification information 541 is, for example, acquired in advance from the server device 600 or the like and stored in the storage unit 540. The target identification information 541 may be, for example, information similar to the target identification information 241 described in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the target identification information 541 includes target position information.

[0059] Image information 542 indicates image data captured by camera 510. Image information 542 is updated, for example, as a result of processing by storage unit 556. Image information 542 may be, for example, information similar to image information 542 described in the first embodiment.

[0060] The discrimination information 543 is information for discriminating whether the image data indicates a correct object to be inspected. For example, the discrimination information 543 is acquired in advance from the server device 600 or the like and stored in the storage unit 540.

[0061] FIG. 9 shows an example of the discrimination information 543. Referring to FIG. 9, the discrimination information 543 includes, for example, object identification information and discrimination information. Here, the object identification information indicates identification information previously assigned to each inspection object such as a fire extinguisher, a fire hydrant, or a sprinkler. The object identification information may be the same as the information included in the object identification information 541 or the image information 542. Furthermore, the discrimination information is information for discriminating whether or not the image data indicates a correct object as an inspection object. The discrimination information is, for example, image data indicating a correct inspection object or a feature amount extracted from the image data.

[0062] The reference information 544 is information indicating the state of the image data serving as a reference. For example, the reference information 544 is obtained in advance from the server device 600 or the like and stored in the storage unit 540.

[0063] The reference information 544 includes, for example, a value indicating the brightness of the image, etc. The reference information 544 may include information indicating the state of the image data other than the above examples.

[0064] The arithmetic processing unit 550 has an arithmetic device such as a CPU and its peripheral circuits. The arithmetic processing unit 550 reads and executes a program 545 from the storage unit 540, thereby implementing various processing units by making the above hardware and the program 545 work together. Major processing units implemented by the arithmetic processing unit 550 include, for example, an image data acquisition unit 551, a correspondence unit 552, a position determination unit 553, an object discrimination unit 554, a correction unit 555, a storage unit 556, a transmission unit 557, and a deletion unit 558.

[0065] The image data acquisition unit 551 acquires image data by, for example, transmitting necessary instructions to the camera 510 in response to an operation of a person operating the inspection support device 500. The image data acquisition unit 551 may acquire information indicating the date and time when the image data was acquired and information indicating the position where the image data was acquired, in addition to acquiring the image data.

[0066] In this embodiment, the image data acquisition unit 551 can be configured to acquire image data only when the position determination unit 553 (described later) determines that a condition is satisfied. The image data acquisition unit 551 may be configured to acquire image data regardless of the result of the determination by the position determination unit 553.

[0067] The associating unit 552 associates image data with object identification information corresponding to the image data, based on the object identification information 541. For example, the associating unit 552 performs the association when the image data acquisition unit 551 acquires the image data. The association process by the associating unit 552 may be similar to that of the associating unit 252 described in the first embodiment.

[0068] The position determination unit 553 determines, based on the position information, whether or not a person at the site having the inspection support device 500 is in a position that satisfies a condition.

[0069] For example, the position determination unit 553 checks whether or not target position information within a predetermined range from the position where the on-site person having the inspection support device 500 indicated by the position information is present in the target identification information 541. If target position information within a predetermined range from the position where the on-site person is present is present, the position determination unit 553 determines that the condition is satisfied. In this case, for example, image data can be acquired by the image data acquisition unit 551. On the other hand, if there is no target position information within a predetermined range from the position where the on-site person is present, the position determination unit 553 determines that the condition is not satisfied.

[0070] In this way, the position determination section 553 performs determination based on the position information and the target identification information 541. Note that the predetermined range may be set arbitrarily.

[0071] The position determination unit 553 may be configured to perform the above-mentioned confirmation and guidance based on the position information. For example, when the condition is not satisfied, the position determination unit 553 identifies the target position information that is closest to the position indicated by the position information among the target position information included in the target identification information 541. Then, the position determination unit 553 can display information indicating the direction when moving from the position indicated by the position information to the position indicated by the identified target position information on the screen display unit 520. When the target identification information 541 includes shooting order information, the position determination unit 553 may display information indicating the direction when moving from the position indicated by the position information to the position indicated by the target position information that is the shooting order on the screen display unit 520.

[0072] Fig. 10 shows an example of a display on the screen display unit 520 according to a determination made by the position determination unit 553. For example, as shown in Fig. 10, the position determination unit 553 can display information according to a determination result on the screen display unit 520. For example, the position determination unit 553 can display information indicating that the position is different, an arrow indicating the direction to travel to the position indicated by the target position information, and the like on the screen display unit 520. The position determination unit 553 may display on the screen display unit 520 a display according to a determination result other than that exemplified in Fig. 10.

[0073] The position determination unit 553 may be configured to check whether or not there is target position information within a predetermined range from the position where the image data is acquired when the image data acquisition unit 551 acquires the image data, instead of making a determination based on the position information and the target identification information 541. In other words, the determination by the position determination unit 553 may be made after the association by the association unit 552.

[0074] The object discrimination unit 554 discriminates, based on the discrimination information 543, whether or not the image data indicates a correct object to be inspected.

[0075] For example, the object discrimination unit 554 refers to the discrimination information 543 to acquire discrimination information corresponding to the object identification information associated with the image data. Then, the object discrimination unit 554 uses any method, such as pattern matching or comparing the closeness of features, to check whether it is possible to determine that the image data and the discrimination information match (or are similar). If it is possible to determine that the image data and the discrimination information match, the object discrimination unit 554 determines that the image data indicates a correct object as an inspection object. On the other hand, if it is not possible to determine that the image data and the discrimination information match, the object discrimination unit 554 determines that the image data does not indicate a correct object as an inspection object. In this case, as will be described later, the image data can be deleted by the deletion unit 558 without transmission by the transmission unit 557.

[0076] Fig. 11 shows an example of a display on the screen display unit 520 according to the determination by the object determination unit 554. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, the object determination unit 554 can display information according to the determination result on the screen display unit 520. For example, the object determination unit 554 can display information indicating that the correct object to be inspected has not been displayed, information indicating the correct name of the inspection object, etc. on the screen display unit 520. The object determination unit 554 may display on the screen display unit 520 a display according to the determination result other than the example shown in Fig. 11.

[0077] The object discrimination unit 554 may be configured to perform discrimination processing before acquiring image data. For example, the object discrimination unit 554 can specify object identification information and discrimination information corresponding to the inspection object to be photographed next based on the photographing order information. Therefore, the object discrimination unit 554 may be configured to check whether it is possible to determine that the inspection object to be photographed (the inspection object on the screen) and the discrimination information match.

[0078] The correction unit 555 checks whether the state of the image data satisfies the conditions based on the reference information 544. Then, the correction unit 555 corrects the image data if the conditions are not satisfied.

[0079] For example, when the state of the image data, such as brightness, satisfies the value indicated by reference information 544, correction unit 555 determines that the condition is satisfied. On the other hand, when the state of the image data, such as brightness, does not satisfy the value indicated by reference information 544, correction unit 555 determines that the condition is not satisfied. In this case, correction unit 555 corrects the state of the image data, such as brightness, to a predetermined value such as the value indicated by reference information 544. In this way, correction unit 555 checks whether the state of the image data satisfies the condition, and if the condition is not satisfied, corrects the image data so that the condition is satisfied.

[0080] It should be noted that the confirmation of conditions by the object determining unit 554 and the confirmation of conditions by the correcting unit 555 may be performed in any order, or may be performed in parallel.

[0081] The storage unit 556 stores the image data in the memory unit 540 based on the results of processing by the position determination unit 553, the object determination unit 554, the correction unit 555, and the like.

[0082] For example, the storage unit 556 stores image data that the object determination unit 554, the correction unit 555, or the like has determined to satisfy the conditions and object identification information associated with the image data in the memory unit 540 as image information 542. On the other hand, the storage unit 556 does not store image data that does not satisfy the conditions in the memory unit 540.

[0083] The transmission unit 557 transmits the image information 542 to the server device 600. The transmission unit 557 may transmit data in which the image data and the target identification information are associated with each other to the server device 300 every time new data is stored in the image information 542, or may transmit all the data included in the image information 542 to the server device 600 in response to an operation by a person operating the inspection support device 500, etc.

[0084] As described above, the storage unit 556 stores image data that the object determination unit 554 or the like has determined to satisfy the conditions in the memory unit 540 as image information 542. Therefore, the transmission unit 557 can transmit image data that satisfies the conditions to the server device 600.

[0085] The deletion unit 558 deletes data included in the image information 542. For example, the deletion unit 558 deletes data in response to data transmission by the transmission unit 557. The deletion unit 558 can delete the transmitted data from the storage unit 540 every time the transmission unit 557 transmits data. The deletion unit 558 can also delete image data when the object discrimination unit 554 determines that it is not possible to determine that the image data and the discrimination information match. The deletion unit 558 may delete the object identification information 541 in addition to the image information 542, similar to the deletion unit 254 described in the first embodiment.

[0086] The above is an example of the configuration of the inspection support device 500.

[0087] The server device 600 is an information processing device that manages image data, etc. The configuration of the server device 600 may be similar to that of the server device 300 described in the first embodiment.

[0088] The above is an example of the configuration of the inspection support system 400. Next, an example of the operation of the inspection support device 500 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0089] 12, the position determination unit 553 determines whether or not a person at the site who has the inspection support device 500 is in a position that satisfies a condition based on the position information (step S201). If the condition is not satisfied (step S201, No), the position determination unit 553 continues the determination.

[0090] When the position determination unit 553 determines that the condition is satisfied (Yes in step S201), the image data acquisition unit 551 acquires image data in response to the operation of the person operating the inspection support device 500 (step S202).

[0091] The associating unit 552 associates the image data with the object identification information corresponding to the image data based on the object identification information 541 (step S203). For example, the associating unit 252 performs the association when the image data acquisition unit 251 acquires the image data.

[0092] The object discriminating unit 554 discriminates whether or not the image data indicates a correct object to be inspected based on the discrimination information 543 (step S204).

[0093] If the object discriminating unit 554 determines that the object is not correct (step S204, No), the deleting unit 558 can delete the image data (step S209). On the other hand, if the object discriminating unit 554 determines that the object is correct (step S204, Yes), the correcting unit 555 checks whether the state of the image data satisfies the condition based on the reference information 544 (step S205). If the condition is not satisfied, the correcting unit 555 determines that correction is necessary (step S205, Yes) and corrects the image data (step S206).

[0094] After step S206, or if the condition is met (i.e., if correction is not required) (step S205, No), the storage unit 556 stores the image data and the object identification information associated with the image data in the memory unit 540 as image information 542 (step S207).

[0095] The transmitting unit 557 transmits data in which the image data included in the image information 542 is associated with the object identification information to the server device 600 (step S208).

[0096] The deletion unit 558 deletes data included in the image information 542 (step S209). For example, the deletion unit 558 deletes the transmitted data from the storage unit 540 every time the transmission unit 557 transmits data.

[0097] The above is an example of the operation of the inspection support device 500.

[0098] In this way, the inspection support device 500 is configured to transmit image data that satisfies the conditions of the position, feature amount, state, etc., to the server device 600. With this configuration, it is possible to transmit image data that indicates an appropriate inspection target to the server device 600. This makes it possible to more appropriately reduce the effort required for inspection.

[0099] In addition, in the case of this embodiment, various modified examples can be adopted as in the first embodiment. At least a part of the configuration of the inspection support device 500 may be realized in the server device 600.

[0100] Furthermore, the inspection support device 500 may be configured to store, for example, map information, information indicating an inspection route, and the like in advance, and provide guidance based on location information and map information, etc. For example, as shown in Fig. 13, the inspection support device 500 may be configured to be capable of displaying map information, information indicating the installation positions of inspection targets, information indicating the inspection order of inspection targets, and the like on the screen display unit 520. In this manner, the inspection support device 500 may be configured to provide inspection support other than that exemplified in this embodiment.

[0101] [Third embodiment] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 14 and Fig. 15. In the third embodiment of the present invention, an overview of the configuration of an inspection support device 700, which is an information processing device, will be described.

[0102] Fig. 14 shows an example of a hardware configuration of the inspection support device 700. Referring to Fig. 14, the inspection support device 700 has, as an example, the following hardware configuration. ·CPU (Central Processing Unit) 701 (computing unit) ·ROM (Read Only Memory) 702 (storage device) RAM (Random Access Memory) 703 (storage device) · Programs 704 loaded into RAM 703 A storage device 705 for storing a group of programs 704 A drive device 706 for reading and writing data from a recording medium 710 outside the information processing device A communication interface 707 for connecting to a communication network 711 outside the information processing device Input / output interface 708 for inputting and outputting data Bus 709 connecting each component

[0103] 15. The program group 704 is stored in advance in, for example, the storage device 705 or the ROM 702, and the CPU 701 loads the program group 704 into the RAM 703 or the like and executes it, so that the inspection support device 700 can realize the functions of an acquisition unit 721 and a transmission unit 722 shown in FIG. 15. The program group 704 is stored in advance in, for example, the storage device 705 or the ROM 702, and the CPU 701 loads the program group 704 into, for example, the RAM 703 and executes it as necessary. The program group 704 may be supplied to the CPU 701 via the communication network 711, or may be stored in advance in the recording medium 710, and the drive device 706 may read out the program and supply it to the CPU 701.

[0104] 14 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the inspection support device 700. The hardware configuration of the inspection support device 700 is not limited to the above-mentioned case. For example, the inspection support device 700 may be configured with a part of the above-mentioned configuration, such as not having the drive device 706.

[0105] The acquisition unit 721 acquires image data showing an inspection target. The transmission unit 722 transmits the image data to an external device in a state in which the inspection target corresponding to the image data acquired by the acquisition unit 721 can be identified.

[0106] In this way, the inspection support device 700 has a transmission unit 721. With this configuration, the transmission unit 721 can transmit image data to an external device in a state in which an inspection target corresponding to the image data can be identified. As a result, the external device can easily identify an inspection target corresponding to the image data. This allows fire department personnel to inspect firefighting equipment and the like without actually going to the site, thereby reducing the effort required for inspection.

[0107] The information processing device such as the inspection support device 700 described above can be realized by incorporating a predetermined program into the information processing device. Specifically, the program according to another embodiment of the present invention is a program for realizing a process in which the inspection support device for firefighting equipment acquires image data showing an inspection target, and transmits the image data to an external device in a state in which the inspection target corresponding to the acquired image data can be identified.

[0108] In addition, the inspection support method executed by the above-mentioned information processing device is such that the fire protection equipment inspection support device acquires image data indicating the inspection target and transmits the image data to an external device in a state in which the inspection target corresponding to the acquired image data can be identified.

[0109] Even if the invention is a program (or a recording medium) or an inspection support method having the above-mentioned configuration, it has the same actions and effects as the above-mentioned cases, and therefore can achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention.
