[0011] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are all comprehensive or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, component arrangement and connection forms, steps, and order of steps shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, among the components in the following embodiments, components that are not described in the independent claims will be described as optional components.

[0012] In addition, each figure is a schematic diagram in which emphasis, omission, or adjustment of the ratio is appropriately performed in order to illustrate the present invention, and is not necessarily a strict illustration, and may differ from the actual shape, positional relationship, and ratio. In addition, in each figure, the same reference numerals are given to substantially the same configurations, and duplicated explanations may be omitted or simplified.

[0013] (Embodiment) The management system according to the present embodiment will be described below.

[0014] [Management system configuration] First, the configuration of a management system according to an embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of the management system according to the embodiment.

[0015] 1, a management system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a management server 10 and a communications terminal 30. The management system 100 is a system that manages lighting fixtures 50. The management system 100 may further include a management terminal 70.

[0016] The management server 10 is a server having a database in which information about the lighting fixtures 50 is registered. The database registers information about a plurality of lighting fixtures 50 installed in, for example, a predetermined area. The predetermined area is, for example, an area in which lighting fixtures 50 that are subject to management by a local government, a company, an organization, or the like are installed.

[0017] The communications terminal 30 transmits various types of information, such as identification information about the lighting fixture 50, to the management server 10. The information about the lighting fixture 50 transmitted from the communications terminal 30 is registered in a database of the management server 10. The communications terminal 30 may also receive information from the management server 10. The communications terminal 30 communicates with the management server 10 via a wide area communications network 90, such as the Internet. The communications terminal 30 is used by users, such as an inspector who performs a pre-construction survey of the lighting fixture 50, an installer who performs construction, an inspector who performs an inspection, and a repairman who performs repairs. The communications terminal 30 is, for example, a portable information terminal, such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

[0018] The lighting fixture 50 is, for example, an outdoor lighting fixture installed in an outdoor space, such as a road, a park, a parking lot, a beach, a riverbank, a forest road, the premises of an apartment complex, or the premises of a factory. This allows the management system 100 to manage outdoor lighting fixtures that are exposed to wind and rain outdoors and are therefore likely to deteriorate or be damaged. Outdoor lighting fixtures are, for example, street lights, road lights, security lights, or tunnel lights. This allows the management system 100 to manage street lights, road lights, security lights, or tunnel lights that are in high need of regular inspection.

[0019] Street lights are lighting fixtures installed in places where design is particularly important, such as around buildings, sidewalks, plazas, and parks. Road lights are lighting fixtures installed on roads with relatively high traffic volumes (expressways or general roads) to improve safety and smoothness of road traffic. Crime prevention lights are lighting fixtures installed mainly on relatively narrow residential roads in residential areas, etc., for the purpose of preventing crimes and not interfering with traffic. Tunnel lights are lighting fixtures installed in tunnels to improve safety and smoothness of road traffic.

[0020] Furthermore, the lighting fixture 50 is supported by a pole 60 erected from a ground 61 such as a road, and irradiates light from above the ground 61 toward the ground 61. The pole 60 is a columnar structure that supports the lighting fixture 50, and is, for example, a pole for installing lighting fixtures or a utility pole. The lighting fixture 50 may be a lighting fixture installed indoors.

[0021] In addition, in the management system 100, an identified unit 51 corresponding to the lighting fixture 50 is provided. The identified unit 51 is provided in the lighting fixture 50 itself or in the vicinity of the lighting fixture 50. The identified unit 51 is provided, for example, on the housing of the lighting fixture 50 and on the surface of the pole 60. The number of identified units 51 corresponding to the lighting fixture 50 is not particularly limited. At least one identified unit 51 may be provided for one lighting fixture 50, and may be provided on either the housing of the lighting fixture 50 or the pole 60. In addition, the identified unit 51 may be provided in a location other than the housing of the lighting fixture 50 and the pole 60 (for example, a wall near the location where the lighting fixture 50 is provided) as long as the user of the communication terminal 30 can recognize that the identified unit 51 corresponds to the lighting fixture 50. In addition, if an opening for work is provided in the pole 60, the identified unit 51 may be provided, for example, on the back side of a door installed to close the opening.

[0022] The identified section 51 is, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark). This allows the identified section 51, which has a small area, to hold a large amount of information. The identified section 51 holds identification information related to the identification of the lighting fixture 50. The identification information includes, for example, a unique identifier such as a fixture identification number or a manufacturing specific number corresponding to the lighting fixture 50. This allows the management system 100 to uniquely identify the lighting fixture 50 and manage the lighting fixtures 50 in a distinguished manner simply by acquiring the identification information, even when managing a plurality of lighting fixtures 50. The identification information may include information indicating at least one of the product number and lot number of the lighting fixture 50. The identified section 51 may be a code or marker capable of holding identification information, and may be a one-dimensional code or the like.

[0023] The management terminal 70 is a terminal device for accessing information registered in the database of the management server 10. The management terminal 70 communicates with the management server 10, for example, via a wide area communication network 90. ​​The management terminal 70 may also communicate with the management server via a local network. The management terminal 70 is used to refer to information related to the lighting fixtures 50. The management terminal 70 is, for example, a personal computer, but may also be a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

[0024] Next, a detailed description will be given of each component of the management system 100. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the management system 100 according to this embodiment.

[0025] [Management Server] First, a description will be given of the configuration of the management server 10. As shown in FIG.

[0026] The communication unit 11 is a communication module (communication circuit) for the management server 10 to communicate with the communication terminal 30, the management terminal 70, etc. via the wide area communication network 90. ​​The communication unit 11 is, for example, a wired communication circuit for performing wired communication, but may also be a wireless communication circuit for performing wireless communication. There is no particular limitation on the communication standard used for communication performed by the communication unit 11.

[0027] The information processing unit 12 processes information relating to the management of the lighting fixtures 50. The information processing unit 12 is realized by, for example, a microcomputer, but may also be realized by a processor. The information processing unit 12 has a registration unit 14 and an information output unit 15.

[0028] Registration unit 14 acquires information about lighting fixtures 50 transmitted from communications terminal 30 via communications unit 11, and registers (in other words, stores) the acquired information in management information database 16.

[0029] The information output unit 15 outputs information about the lighting fixtures 50 registered in the management information database 16 to the communication terminal 30, the management terminal 70, etc. using the communication unit 11. The information output unit 15 outputs, for example, display information for displaying the positions of the lighting fixtures 50 on a map together with information about the lighting fixtures 50 registered in the management information database 16. The display information includes information about the lighting fixtures 50 including at least installation position information indicating the positions where the lighting fixtures 50 are installed.

[0030] The storage unit 13 is a storage device having a management information database 16, which is an example of a database. The storage unit 13 may further have an illumination information database 17 and a user information database 18. The storage unit 13 also stores a control program executed by the information processing unit 12. The storage unit 13 is realized by, for example, a hard disc drive (HDD) or the like. The storage unit 13 may also be realized by a semiconductor memory.

[0031] The management information database 16 is a database in which information about lighting fixtures 50 is registered. Information about lighting fixtures 50 transmitted from communications terminal 30 is registered in the management information database 16. For example, identification information relating to the identification of lighting fixtures 50 and installation location information indicating the location where lighting fixtures 50 are installed are linked and registered in the management information database 16. Note that information about lighting fixtures 50 other than the information transmitted from communications terminal 30 may also be registered in the management information database 16. For example, information about lighting fixtures 50 entered into management terminal 70 may be registered in the management information database 16.

[0032] The lighting information database 17 is a database used to refer to information related to the lighting fixtures 50. The lighting information database 17 stores, for example, a unique serial number, a manufacturer, a product number, a lot number, a light source type, and power consumption of the lighting fixtures 50 in association with each other.

[0033] User information database 18 is a database used to refer to information about a user who uses communication terminal 30. User information database 18 stores, for example, a user's ID (e.g., a login ID in communication terminal 30), the user's company, the user's name, the user's contact information, and the like, in association with each other. The users are, for example, inspectors who conduct pre-construction inspections of lighting fixtures 50, constructors who perform construction, inspectors who perform inspections, and repairers who perform repairs.

[0034] Here, the management items of information registered in the management information database 16 will be described. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the management items of information registered in the management information database 16. The management items shown in Fig. 3 will be described below. The item numbers shown in Fig. 3 are numbers used for explanation, and it is not necessary for each management item in the management information database 16 to be assigned a management number.

[0035] The management number (item number 1 in the drawing) is, for example, a number given to lighting fixtures 50 registered in management information database 16, and is, for example, a sequential number given in the order of registration.

[0036] The manufacturing unique number (item number 2 in the drawing) is an example of an identifier included in the identification information held by identified unit 51, and is a unique number corresponding to lighting fixture 50. Note that the manufacturing unique number may also serve as the management number, that is, the manufacturing unique number may be the management number.

[0037] The manufacturer, product number, lot number, light source type, and power consumption (item numbers 3 to 7 in the figure) are product information of lighting fixture 50. The manufacturer, product number, lot number, light source type, and power consumption are identified and registered from the unique manufacturing number transmitted from communication terminal 30, for example, by referring to lighting information database 17. The product number and lot number may be included in the identification information held by identified unit 51.

[0045] The investigation company, the investigator's name, and the investigation contact information (item numbers 18 to 20 in the figure) are user information related to the user who operates the communication terminal 30 when the investigator is the user. The investigation company, the investigator's name, and the investigation contact information may be included in the information transmitted from the communication terminal 30, or may be identified by the registration unit 14 based on the login ID transmitted from the communication terminal 30 by referring to the user information database 18.

[0046] The utility pole status (item number 21 in the figure) is information indicating the inspection results of the pole 60 when the pole 60 is a utility pole. The utility pole status includes, for example, information regarding the results of a tapping test of the utility pole and the results of a visual inspection of the appearance (e.g., deterioration and corrosion status of the utility pole) based on the judgment category. The utility pole status is included, for example, in input information input by a user to the communication terminal 30. Note that the pole 60 may be something other than a utility pole, and information indicating the status of the pole 60 may be registered instead of the utility pole status.

[0047] The road condition (item number 22 in the figure) is information indicating the condition of the ground of the road when the ground 61 on which the pole 60 is installed is a road. The road condition is included in the input information inputted to the communication terminal 30 by the user, for example.

[0048] The lighting situation (item number 23 in the figure) is information indicating the inspection results of lighting device 50.

The repair history is included, for example, in input information input by the user to communications terminal 30.

[0050] The before-construction image (item number 25 in the drawing) is an image relating to a planned installation location of lighting fixture 50. The before-construction image is, for example, an image relating to an existing lighting fixture when the existing lighting fixture is to be replaced with lighting fixture 50. The before-construction image includes, for example, a close-up image of the existing lighting fixture, a distant image of the existing lighting fixture, and an image of the utility pole number of pole 60.

[0051] The current status image (item number 26 in the drawing) is an image related to the lighting fixture 50. The current status image includes, for example, a close-up image of the lighting fixture 50, a distant image of the lighting fixture 50, and an image of the utility pole number of the pole 60.

[0052] The management information database 16 does not need to include all of the information on the management items shown in Fig. 3, and may include only some of the information on the management items shown in Fig. 3, or may include information on management items not shown in Fig. 3. Furthermore, the information included in the management items shown in Fig. 3 may be divided into two or more management items and registered.

[0053] [Communication terminal] The communication terminal 30 will be described with reference to Fig. 2 again. As shown in Fig. 2, the communication terminal 30 has a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, an operation reception unit 33, a display unit 34, a position measurement unit 35, an image capture unit 36, and a storage unit 37. The communication terminal 30 is realized by installing an application program in a general-purpose information terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal owned by a user, but may also be a dedicated communication terminal.

[0054] The communication unit 31 is a communication module (communication circuit) for the communication terminal 30 to communicate with the management server 10 and the like via the wide area communication network 90. ​​The communication unit 31 is, for example, a wireless communication circuit for performing wireless communication, but may also be a wired communication circuit for performing wired communication. There is no particular limitation on the communication standard used for communication performed by the communication unit 31.

[0055] The control unit 32 performs, for example, various information processes related to the operation of the communication terminal 30. The control unit 32 is realized, for example, by a microcomputer, but may be realized by a processor. The control unit 32 has an identification information acquisition unit 40, a position information acquisition unit 41, a user information acquisition unit 42, an input information acquisition unit 43, an image acquisition unit 44, and a transmission unit 45.

[0056] The identification information acquisition unit 40 acquires identification information regarding the identification of the lighting fixture 50 from the identified unit 51, for example, by using the photographing unit 36 ​​to read the non-identified unit 51, thereby acquiring the identification information without the user having to directly manually input characters.

[0057] The location information acquisition unit 41 acquires installation location information indicating the location where the lighting fixture 50 is installed, for example, by using the location measurement unit 35 or from the management server 10, thereby acquiring the installation location information without the user having to manually input characters.

[0058] The user information acquisition unit 42 acquires user information relating to the user who operates the communication terminal 30 from the storage unit 37, for example, thereby acquiring the user information without the user directly manually inputting characters.

[0059] The input information acquiring unit 43 acquires, for example, input information input by a user through an operation of the operation accepting unit 33. The input information includes, for example, at least one of pole information on the pole 60, road information on a road near the lighting fixture 50, inspection information on an inspection of the lighting fixture 50, and repair information indicating repair details of the lighting fixture 50.

[0060] The image acquisition unit 44 acquires an image of the lighting fixture 50 using, for example, the photographing unit 36 ​​.

[0061] The transmission unit 45, for example, uses the communication unit 31 to link the information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 40, the position information acquisition unit 41, the user information acquisition unit 42, the input information acquisition unit 43 and the image acquisition unit 44 and transmits the information to the management server 10.

[0062] The operation reception unit 33 is a user interface device that receives operations from a user. For example, the operation reception unit 33 receives operations such as input of information from a user. The operation reception unit 33 is realized by, for example, a touch panel and hardware buttons.

[0063] The display unit 34 displays an image under the control of the control unit 32. The display unit 34 is realized by a display panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel.

[0064] The position measurement unit 35 measures the position of the communication terminal 30 based on the control of the control unit 32, and acquires information indicating the position of the communication terminal 30. For example, the position measurement unit 35 receives a GPS (Global Positioning System) signal, and acquires GPS information indicating the position of the communication terminal 30 measured based on the received GPS signal. Specifically, the position measurement unit 35 is realized by, for example, a GPS antenna and a GPS receiver. Note that the information acquired by the position measurement unit 35 is not limited to GPS information, and may be, for example, GNSS information measured using a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), which is a system including GPS. The GPS information is used for, for example, installation position information. That is, the installation position information is information based on the GPS information. This allows the use of a general-purpose GPS antenna and GPS receiver, and therefore the installation position information can be easily acquired.

[0065] The photographing unit 36 ​​photographs the object under the control of the control unit 32, thereby acquiring an image (photograph) showing the object. The acquired image (photograph) is stored in the storage unit 37. The photographing unit 36 ​​is, for example, a camera including an image sensor such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), a driving circuit, a lens, and the like.

[0066] The storage unit 37 is a storage device that stores control programs such as application programs executed by the control unit 32. The storage unit 37 may also store user information related to a user who operates the communication terminal 30. The storage unit 37 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory.

[0067] [Administrative terminal] Next, a description will be given of the configuration of the management terminal 70. The management terminal 70 has a communication unit 71, a control unit 72, an operation reception unit 73, a storage unit 74, and a display unit 75.

[0068] The communication unit 71 is a communication module (communication circuit) for the management terminal 70 to communicate with the management server 10 and the like via the wide area communication network 90. ​​The communication unit 71 is, for example, a wired communication circuit for performing wired communication, but may also be a wireless communication circuit for performing wireless communication. There is no particular limitation on the communication standard used for communication performed by the communication unit 71.

[0069] The control unit 72 performs various information processes related to the operation of the management terminal 70. The control unit 72 is realized by, for example, a microcomputer, but may also be realized by a processor.

[0070] The operation reception unit 73 is a user interface device that receives operations from a user and is realized by, for example, a touch panel, a keyboard, and a mouse.

[0071] The storage unit 74 is a storage device that stores the control program executed by the control unit 72. The storage unit 74 is realized by, for example, a HDD, etc. The storage unit 74 may also be realized by a semiconductor memory.

[0072] The display unit 75 displays an image under the control of the control unit 72. The display unit 75 is realized by a display panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel.

[0073] For example, when the management terminal 70 acquires the display information output from the management server 10, the display unit 75 displays the positions of the lighting fixtures 50 and information about the lighting fixtures 50 on the map under the control of the control unit 72 based on the map information of the area in which the lighting fixtures 50 are installed and the display information. The map information may be stored in the storage unit 74 or may be acquired from an external server or the like. FIG. 4 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 75 of the management terminal 70. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 75 displays an object indicating the position indicated by the installation position information of the lighting fixtures 50 and information about the lighting fixtures 50. For example, when the user of the management terminal 70 selects an object corresponding to the lighting fixture 50 about which the user wants to check information, information about the selected lighting fixture 50 is displayed. Note that when the communication terminal 30 acquires the display information and the map information, the display unit 34 may display a screen similar to that of the display unit 75 under the control of the control unit 32.

[0074] The management server 10 and / or the communication terminal 30 may also function as the management terminal 70. In other words, each component of the management terminal 70 may be included in the management server 10 and / or the communication terminal 30.

[0075] [Operation of the management system] Next, the operation of the management system 100 will be described.

[0076] In conventional management of lighting fixtures 50, the user must manually input all information about lighting fixtures 50 into a database or the like, which requires a huge amount of work and may lead to input errors. In contrast, management system 100 can easily register information about lighting fixtures 50 in a database, and can efficiently manage lighting fixtures 50. An example of the operation of such management system 100 will be described below.

[0077] (1) Example 1 First, a description will be given of operation example 1 of the management system 100. Fig. 5 is a sequence diagram of operation example 1 of the management system 100. Operation example 1 is an operation example when registering information about a lighting fixture 50 that is newly installed.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 5, first, after an application program for using the management system 100 is executed by a user, the operation acceptance unit 33 of the communication terminal 30 accepts a login operation for using the management system 100 from the user (S11). For example, the user inputs a login ID and a password using the operation acceptance unit 33. The input login ID is stored, for example, in the storage unit 37. The login ID and password are approval information for the user to use an application of the management system 100, and for example, the correspondence between the login ID and the password is held in the storage unit 13 of the management server 10 or the storage unit 37 of the communication terminal 30. When the user inputs the associated login ID and password, the login is approved and the subsequent processes are executed.

[0079] Next, the user information acquisition unit 42 acquires user information related to the user who operates the communication terminal 30 (S12). The user information is, for example, the login ID of the user who operates the communication terminal 30. The user information acquisition unit 42 acquires, for example, the login ID that the user performed the login operation for in step S11 as user information from the storage unit 37. In addition, when the storage unit 37 holds user information related to the user who operates the communication terminal 30 other than the login ID, the user information other than the login ID stored in the storage unit 37 may be acquired. The storage unit 37 stores, for example, the login ID, and at least one of the user's company, user name, and user contact information associated with the login ID. The user's company, user name, and user contact information are registered by the user at the time of initial setting of the application program for using the management system 100, for example, and are stored in the storage unit 37 in association with the login ID. The user information acquisition unit 42 acquires, for example, the user's company, user name, user contact information, etc. associated with the login ID.

[0080] Next, the identification information acquisition unit 40 acquires identification information related to the identification of the lighting fixture 50 from the identified part 51 corresponding to the lighting fixture 50 (S13). The identification information acquisition unit 40 acquires the identification information held by the identified part 51, for example, by analyzing the image of the identified part 51 photographed by the photographing unit 36 ​​by the user's operation. The identified part 51 is provided in advance on the housing of the lighting fixture 50 to be installed, for example, by printing or by attaching a printed matter on which the identified part 51 is printed. Also, for example, the lighting fixture 50 to be installed is packaged with a printed matter on which the same identified part 51 as the identified part 51 provided on the lighting fixture 50 is printed, and the user attaches the printed matter to the pole 60. The identification information acquisition unit 40 acquires the identification information from the identified part 51 provided in this manner.

[0081] Next, the position information acquisition unit 41 acquires installation position information indicating the position where the lighting device 50 is to be installed (S14). For example, the position information acquisition unit 41 acquires information indicating the position of the communication terminal 30 measured by the position measurement unit 35 when the image capture unit 36 ​​captures the identified unit 51 (for example, information such as longitude and latitude included in the GPS information acquired by the position measurement unit 35) as the installation position information. The position information acquisition unit 41 may also acquire information on the displayed position as the installation position information by displaying the position of the communication terminal 30 measured by the position measurement unit 35 on the display unit 34 and accepting an input from the user indicating that the displayed position is the position where the lighting device 50 is to be installed. In this case, the communication terminal 30 may accept an operation from the user to adjust the position displayed on the map.

[0082] Next, the input information acquisition unit 43 acquires input information input from the user via the operation acceptance unit 33 (S15). The input information includes, for example, pole information about the pole 60 and road information about the road near the lighting fixture 50.

[0083] Next, the image acquisition unit 44 acquires a current state image of the lighting fixture 50 (S16). The image acquisition unit 44 acquires at least one current state image of the lighting fixture 50 captured by the imaging unit 36 ​​by, for example, a user's operation. The at least one current state image acquired by the image acquisition unit 44 includes, for example, at least one of a close-up image of the lighting fixture 50, a distant image of the lighting fixture 50, and an image of the utility pole number of the pole 60, and may include all of these images.

[0084] Next, the transmission unit 45 links the identification information, installation position information, input information, user information, and current status image acquired in steps S12 to S16 as information about the lighting fixture 50, and transmits the linked information to the management server 10 using the communication unit 31 (S17). For example, the operation reception unit 33 receives an operation from the user instructing to transmit the acquired information about the lighting fixture 50 to the management server 10, so that the transmission unit 45 transmits the acquired information about the lighting fixture 50 to the management server 10. At this time, the transmission unit 45 may transmit information indicating the date of transmission together with the above information. In this way, among the information about the lighting fixture 50 transmitted in step S17, information other than the input information is information that has been acquired without the user manually inputting characters or the like. Therefore, the user's work man-hours are reduced, improving work efficiency and reducing input errors by the user.

[0085] Next, registration unit 14 of management server 10 acquires the information about lighting fixture 50 transmitted in step S17 via communication unit 11, and registers the acquired information in management information database 16 (S18). Registration unit 14 links the acquired identification information, installation location information, input information, user information, and current status image, and registers them in management information database 16. Registration unit 14 may also register the date on which information was acquired from communication terminal 30 as the installation date, linked to the information acquired from communication terminal 30, and register it in management information database 16. Registration unit 14 may also refer to lighting information database 17 to acquire at least one of information on product number, manufacturer, light source type, manufacturing date, and power consumption associated with the identifier included in the acquired identification information, and register it in management information database 16 linked to the information acquired from communication terminal 30. Furthermore, the registration unit 14 may refer to the user information database 18 to acquire at least one piece of information among the user's company, the user's name, and the user's contact information associated with the login ID included in the acquired user information, and may register the information in the management information database 16 in association with the information acquired from the communication terminal 30. Note that the storage unit 13 may not have the lighting information database 17 and the user information database 18. In this case, the registration unit 14 may refer to the lighting information database 17 and the user information database 18 stored in an external server or the like.

[0086] In this manner, in this operation example, management server 10 acquires the linked installation plan information, input information, user information, and current status images, and can easily link and register information about these lighting fixtures 50 in management information database 16. Thus, management system 100 can efficiently manage lighting fixtures 50.

[0087] In the above operation example 1, the case where information on a newly installed lighting fixture 50 is registered has been described, but information on an existing lighting fixture 50 may also be registered. In this case, for example, a user can attach a printed matter on which an identifiable portion 51 corresponding to an existing lighting fixture 50 is printed to a pole 60 or the like, so that the identifiable portion 51 is provided near the lighting fixture 50, and the above process can be performed.

[0088] Furthermore, in step S17, the transmission unit 45 may at least link the identification information and the installation location information and transmit them to the management server 10. In this case, at least one of steps S12, S15, and S16 may not be performed.

[0089] (2) Example 2 Next, a second operation example of management system 100 will be described. Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram of the second operation example of management system 100. The second operation example is an operation example in the case where information obtained when a location where lighting fixture 50 is to be installed is surveyed in advance is registered. In the second operation example, the location where lighting fixture 50 is to be installed is a location where an existing lighting fixture supported by pole 60 is installed, and a process for updating the existing lighting fixture to lighting fixture 50 will be described.

[0090] 6, first, the operation reception unit 33 of the communication terminal 30 receives a login operation from a user to use the management system 100 (S21). Next, the user information acquisition unit 42 acquires user information about the user who operates the communication terminal 30 (S22). In steps S21 and S22, the same processes as those in steps S11 and S12 described above are performed.

[0091] Next, location information acquirer 41 acquires planned installation information indicating the planned locations of lighting device 50 (S23). For example, location information acquirer 41 causes display 34 to display the location of communications terminal 30 measured by position measurement unit 35, and acquires information on the displayed location as planned installation information by accepting input from the user indicating that the displayed location is the planned location of lighting device 50. In this case, communications terminal 30 may accept an operation from the user to adjust the location displayed on the map.

[0092] Next, the input information acquisition unit 43 acquires input information input by the user via the operation reception unit 33 (S24). The input information includes, for example, pole information about the pole 60 supporting the existing lighting fixture and road information about the road near the existing lighting fixture. When the pole 60 is a utility pole, the pole information is, for example, the utility pole status. Furthermore, the road information is, for example, the road status. In this way, the input information including the pole information or road information allows the management system 100 to manage information about the surroundings of the foundation for installing the lighting fixture 50.

[0093] Next, the image acquisition unit 44 acquires a pre-installation image of the lighting fixture 50 (S25). The image acquisition unit 44 acquires at least one pre-installation image of the lighting fixture 50 captured by the photographing unit 36 ​​by, for example, a user operation. The at least one pre-installation image acquired by the image acquisition unit 44 includes, for example, at least one of a close-up image of the existing lighting fixture, a distant image of the existing lighting fixture, and an image of the utility pole number of the pole 60, and may include all of these images.

[0094] Next, the transmission unit 45 links the installation plan information, the input information, the user information, and the before-construction image acquired in steps S22 to S25 as information about the lighting fixture 50, and transmits the linked information to the management server 10 using the communication unit 31 (S26). At this time, the transmission unit 45 may transmit information indicating the date of transmission together with the above information.

[0095] Next, the registration unit 14 of the management server 10 acquires the information about the lighting fixtures 50 transmitted in step S26 via the communication unit 11, and registers the acquired information in the management information database 16 (S27). The registration unit 14 links the acquired installation plan information, input information, user information, and pre-construction images, and registers them in the management information database 16. The registration unit 14 may also register in the management information database 16 the date on which the information was acquired from the communication terminal 30 as the investigation date, and link it to the information acquired from the communication terminal 30.

[0096] In the above-mentioned operation example 2, the case where the location where the lighting fixture 50 is to be installed is a location where an existing lighting fixture is installed has been described. However, the location where the lighting fixture 50 is to be installed does not necessarily have to have an existing lighting fixture installed.

[0097] Furthermore, in step S26, the transmission unit 45 may transmit at least the installation plan information to the management server 10. In this case, at least one of step S22, step S24, and step S25 may not be performed.

[0098] (3) Example 3 Next, an operation example 3 of the management system 100 will be described. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram of the operation example 3 of the management system 100. The operation example 3 is an operation example in the case of registering information about the lighting fixture 50 installed in the place surveyed in the above-mentioned operation example 2. That is, in the operation example 3, the management information database 16 holds information about the lighting fixture 50 registered in the operation example 2. In addition, in the operation example 3, the communication terminal 30 is used by a builder who is a different user from the investigator who is the user in the operation example 2. Therefore, the communication terminal 30 used in the operation example 3 is a communication terminal 30 different from the communication terminal 30 used in the operation example 2. That is, the management system 100 may include a plurality of communication terminals 30. Note that, when the investigator and the builder are the same, the communication terminal 30 used in the operation example 3 may be the same as the communication terminal 30 used in the operation example 2.

[0099] 7, first, the operation reception unit 33 of the communication terminal 30 receives a login operation from a user to use the management system 100 (S31). Next, the user information acquisition unit 42 acquires user information about the user who operates the communication terminal 30 (S32). In steps S31 and S32, the same processes as those in steps S11 and S12 described above are performed.

[0100] Next, when the operation reception unit 33 receives an operation from the user to call up the installation schedule information from the management server 10, the position information acquisition unit 41 transmits an installation schedule information request signal to the management server 10 using the communication unit 31 to request the management server 10 to transmit the installation schedule information (S33). The management server 10 receives the transmitted installation schedule information request. In step S33, the position information acquisition unit 41 may transmit information indicating the position of the communication terminal 30 measured by the position measurement unit 35 to the management server 10 together with the installation schedule information request.

[0101] Next, the information output unit 15 of the management server 10 transmits the installation plan information registered in the management information database 16 to the communication terminal 30 using the communication unit 11 (S34). The installation plan information registered in the management information database 16 is, for example, the installation plan information registered in the second operation example. The communication terminal 30 receives the transmitted installation plan information. When the installation plan information of a plurality of lighting fixtures 50 is registered in the management information database 16, the information output unit 15 transmits, for example, all of the installation plan information. Furthermore, when information indicating the position of the communication terminal 30 is transmitted together with the installation plan information request, the information output unit 15 may transmit, from among the plurality of pieces of installation plan information, the installation plan information indicating that the lighting fixtures 50 are located within a predetermined distance from the position.

[0102] Next, the location information acquisition unit 41 acquires the installation plan information transmitted from the management server 10 as the installation location information of the lighting device 50 (S35). In step S35, for example, the location information acquisition unit 41 first acquires map information of the planned installation area of ​​the lighting device 50, and causes the display unit 34 to display a map including an object indicating the position indicated by the received installation plan information based on the map information and the installation plan information. The location information acquisition unit 41 acquires, for example, map information of an area within a predetermined distance from the position of the communication terminal 30 measured by the position measurement unit 35 as map information of the planned installation area of ​​the lighting device 50. The map information may be stored in the storage unit 37, or may be acquired from an external server or the like using the communication unit 31. FIG. 8 is an example of a screen indicating the planned installation position displayed on the display unit 34 of the communication terminal 30. FIG. 8 shows a screen when multiple pieces of installation plan information are transmitted in step S34. The operation reception unit 33 receives, for example, an operation from the user to select the position where the lighting device 50 is to be installed from the object indicating the planned installation position on the displayed map. Position information acquirer 41 acquires, as installation position information of lighting device 50, planned installation information indicating a planned installation position selected by the user from the multiple planned installation positions displayed on display unit 34. In addition, in step S35, position information acquirer 41 may acquire, as installation position information, planned installation information indicating a position that is closest to the position of communications terminal 30 measured by position measurement unit 35 from the multiple planned installation positions.

[0103] 7 again, next, identification information acquirer 40 acquires identification information relating to the identification of lighting device 50 from identified unit 51 corresponding to lighting device 50 (S36). In step S36, the same process as in step S13 is performed.

[0104] Next, the input information acquisition unit 43 acquires input information input by the user via the operation acceptance unit 33 (S37). The image acquisition unit 44 acquires a current status image of the lighting fixture 50 (S38). The transmission unit 45 links the identification information, installation position information, input information, user information, and current status image acquired in steps S32, S35, S36, S37, and S38 as information related to the lighting fixture 50, and transmits the linked information to the management server 10 using the communication unit 31 (S39). At this time, the transmission unit 45 may also transmit information indicating the date of transmission linked to the above information. In steps S37 to S39, the same processes as those in steps S15 to S17 described above are performed.

[0105] Next, the registration unit 14 of the management server 10 acquires the information about the lighting fixture 50 transmitted in step S39 via the communication unit 11, and registers the acquired information in the management information database 16 (S40). The registration unit 14 links the acquired installation location information with information registered in the management information database 16 in association with the installation schedule information that matches the acquired installation location information, and registers the information in the management information database 16. That is, the registration unit 14 adds the information about the lighting fixture 50 transmitted in step S39 so as to be linked with the information about the lighting fixture 50 already registered in the management information database 16, and registers the information in the management information database 16. As a result, the information about the lighting fixture 50 at the time of the inspection acquired in the second operation example and the information about the lighting fixture 50 at the time of construction acquired in the third operation example are linked and registered in the management information database 16. Therefore, the management system 100 can easily manage the information about the inspection before construction of the lighting fixture 50 and the information about the construction of the lighting fixture 50 by linking them together. Such an effect can be obtained even if the communication terminal 30 used in the third operation example is a communication terminal 30 different from the communication terminal 30 used in the second operation example. Therefore, even when a plurality of users are involved in managing lighting fixtures 50, lighting fixtures 50 can be managed efficiently.

[0106] In step S40, the same process as in step S18 described above is carried out, except that the acquired information about the lighting fixture 50 is registered in association with information already registered in the management information database 16.

[0107] In step S39, the transmission unit 45 may at least link the identification information and the installation location information and transmit them to the management server 10. In this case, at least one of step S32, step S37, and step S38 may not be performed.

[0108] Furthermore, instead of the information about the lighting fixture 50 registered in the second operational example, information about the lighting fixture 50 at the time of the inspection, which is entered via the management terminal 70 or the like, may be registered in the management information database 16.

[0109] (4) Example 4 Next, an operation example 4 of management system 100 will be described. Fig. 9 is a sequence diagram of operation example 4 of management system 100. Operation example 4 is an operation example in the case where information related to inspection or repair of lighting fixture 50 is registered as information related to lighting fixture 50. In operation example 4, the information about lighting fixture 50 has already been registered in management information database 16 by, for example, at least one of operation examples 1 and 3.

[0110] 9, first, operation acceptance unit 33 of communications terminal 30 accepts a login operation from a user to use management system 100 (S51). Next, user information acquisition unit 42 acquires user information related to the user operating communications terminal 30 (S52). Next, identification information acquisition unit 40 acquires identification information related to the identification of lighting fixture 50 from identified unit 51 corresponding to lighting fixture 50 (S53). In steps S51 to S53, the same processes as those in steps S11 to S13 described above are performed.

[0111] Next, the input information acquiring unit 43 acquires input information input by the user via the operation accepting unit 33 (S54). When the user inspects the lighting fixture 50, the input information includes inspection information related to the inspection of the lighting fixture 50 indicating, for example, a judgment of the brightness of the lighting fixture 50, a judgment of the appearance of the lighting fixture 50, a result of a tapping test of the pole 60, or a judgment of the appearance of the pole 60. When the user repairs the lighting fixture 50, the input information includes, for example, repair information indicating the repair content of the lighting fixture 50.

[0112] Next, the image acquisition unit 44 acquires an image of the current state of the lighting fixture 50 (S55). In step S55, the same process as in step S16 is performed.

[0113] Next, the transmitter 45 links the identification information, input information, user information, and current status image acquired in steps S52 to S55 as information about the lighting fixture 50, and transmits the linked information to the management server 10 using the communication unit 31 (S56). At this time, the transmitter 45 may transmit information indicating the date of transmission together with the above information.

[0114] Next, the registration unit 14 of the management server 10 acquires the information about the lighting fixture 50 transmitted in step S56 via the communication unit 11, and registers the acquired information in the management information database 16 (S57). The registration unit 14 links the acquired information about the lighting fixture 50 to information that is registered in the management information database 16 and linked to identification information that matches the acquired identification information, and registers the information in the management information database 16. In other words, the registration unit 14 adds the information about the lighting fixture 50 transmitted in step S56 so as to be linked to the information about the lighting fixture 50 already registered in the management information database 16, and registers the information in the management information database 16. As a result, the information about the repair or inspection of the lighting fixture 50 is registered in the management information database 16 while being linked to the information already registered in the management information database 16.

[0115] In step S56, the transmission unit 45 may at least link the identification information and the input information and transmit them to the management server 10. In this case, at least one of step S52 and step S55 may not be performed.

[0116] [Effects, etc.] As described above, management system 100 includes management server 10 having management information database 16 in which information related to lighting fixtures 50 is registered, and communications terminal 30. Communications terminal 30 includes identification information acquisition unit 40 that acquires identification information relating to the identification of lighting fixture 50 from identified unit 51 corresponding to lighting fixture 50, position information acquisition unit 41 that acquires installation position information indicating the position where lighting fixture 50 is installed, and transmission unit 45 that links the identification information with the installation position information as information related to lighting fixture 50 and transmits the linked information to management server 10.

[0117] This allows the identification information acquirer 40 of communications terminal 30 to acquire the identification information of lighting fixture 50 from identified unit 51 without the user having to manually input the identification information of lighting fixture 50. The acquired identification information and the installation location information are then linked together and transmitted to management server 10. This allows management server 10 to easily register the identification information and the installation location information as information related to lighting fixture 50 in management information database 16, linking them together. This allows management system 100 to efficiently manage lighting fixtures 50.

[0118] Furthermore, for example, communications terminal 30 further includes a user information acquisition unit 42 that acquires user information about a user operating communications terminal 30. Transmitter 45 transmits to management server 10 the identification information, the installation location information, and the user information as information about lighting fixture 50 in association with each other.

[0119] As a result, the user information, the identification information, and the installation location information are linked together and transmitted to the management server 10, so that the user information can also be linked to the identification information and the installation location information and registered in the management information database 16 as information related to the lighting fixture 50. Therefore, the management system 100 can manage information about users who investigate, install, inspect, etc. the lighting fixtures 50, and can therefore efficiently manage the lighting fixtures 50.

[0120] Furthermore, for example, lighting fixture 50 is an outdoor lighting fixture.

[0121] This allows the management system 100 to manage outdoor lighting fixtures that are likely to deteriorate or be damaged because they are exposed to the elements outdoors.

[0122] For example, the outdoor lighting fixture is a street light, a road light, a security light, or a tunnel light. This allows the management system 100 to manage street lights, road lights, security lights, or tunnel lights that require regular inspection.

[0123] Also, for example, the identification information includes a unique identifier corresponding to the lighting fixture 50.

[0124] This allows management system 100 to obtain identification information that can uniquely identify each lighting fixture 50. Therefore, even when managing multiple lighting fixtures 50, each lighting fixture 50 can be distinguished and managed simply by obtaining the identification information.

[0125] For example, communications terminal 30 further includes an input information acquisition unit 43 that acquires input information input by a user. Transmitter 45 associates the identification information, installation location information, and input information as information related to lighting fixture 50 and transmits the information to management server 10.

[0126] As a result, the input information, identification information, and installation location information are linked together and transmitted to management server 10, so that user information can also be linked to the identification information and installation location information and registered in management information database 16 as information related to lighting fixtures 50. Thus, management system 100 can manage additional information, etc., input by users when conducting surveys, construction, inspections, etc.

[0127] Also, for example, lighting fixture 50 is supported on pole 60. The input information includes pole information regarding pole 60.

[0128] As a result, simply by the communications terminal 30 transmitting information about the lighting fixture 50 to the management server 10, pole information about the pole 60 supporting the lighting fixture 50 can also be registered in the management information database.

[0129] Also, for example, the location information acquisition unit 41 acquires from the management server 10, as installation location information, the planned installation information registered in the management information database 16 as information indicating the planned installation location of the lighting fixture 50 before the lighting fixture 50 is installed.

[0130] This allows the planned installation information registered in advance in management information database 16 to be used as the installation location information. In addition, because the installation location information and the planned installation information are the same, management server 10 can easily link information about lighting fixtures 50 that has already been registered in management information database 16 with information about lighting fixtures 50 that has been newly acquired by communications terminal 30.

[0131] Also, for example, the installation schedule information is information transmitted to the management server 10 from a communication terminal 30 different from the communication terminal 30.

[0132] This allows the installation plan information transmitted from different communication terminals 30 to be used as installation position information.

[0133] In addition, for example, the management system 100 further includes a display unit 34 and a display unit 75 that display the positions of the lighting fixtures 50 indicated by the installation position information on a map together with information about the lighting fixtures 50 registered in the management information database 16.

[0134] This allows the positions of the lighting fixtures 50 to be displayed on the map together with information about the lighting fixtures 50, making it easy for the user to grasp the location and information about the lighting fixtures 50.

[0135] Moreover, for example, the identified part 51 is a two-dimensional code.

[0136] This makes it possible for a large amount of information to be stored even in the identified portion 51 having a small area.

[0137] Also, for example, the installation location information is information based on GPS information.

[0138] This allows the use of a general-purpose GPS antenna and GPS receiver, making it easy to obtain installation location information.

[0139] In addition, the processing method executed by communications terminal 30 to manage lighting fixture 50 includes an identification information acquisition step (S13) of acquiring identification information relating to the identification of lighting fixture 50 from identified unit 51 corresponding to lighting fixture 50, a location information acquisition step (S14) of acquiring installation location information indicating the location where lighting fixture 50 is installed, and a transmission step (S17) of linking the identification information and the installation location information as information related to lighting fixture 50 and transmitting them to management server 10.

[0140] Even with this control method, in communications terminal 30, identification information acquirer 40 can acquire the identification information of lighting device 50 from identified unit 51 without the user having to manually input the identification information of lighting device 50. The acquired identification information and the installation location information are then linked together and transmitted to management server 10. This allows management server 10 to easily register the identification information and the installation location information as information related to lighting device 50 in management information database 16, linking them together. Therefore, the control method executed by communications terminal 30 can efficiently manage lighting device 50.

[0141] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0142] For example, the management server 10, the communication terminal 30, and the management terminal 70 do not need to have all of the components described in the above embodiments, and may be composed of only the components required to perform the desired operation.

[0143] Also, for example, the communication method between the devices in the above embodiment is not particularly limited. In addition, a relay device (not shown) may be involved in the communication between the devices. In addition, the information transmission path described in the above embodiment is not limited to the transmission path shown in the sequence diagram.

[0144] In the above embodiment, the processes executed by a specific processing unit may be executed by another processing unit. The order of multiple processes may be changed, or multiple processes may be executed in parallel.
