The functional configuration of the information processing system 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2.

[0016] 2, the earphone 30a has a built-in microphone 31 and a built-in speaker 32 provided corresponding to the communication device 20a. Although not shown in the figure, the earphone 30b has a built-in microphone 31 and a built-in speaker 32 provided corresponding to the communication device 20b, and the earphone 30c has a built-in microphone 31 and a built-in speaker 32 provided corresponding to the communication device 20c. In this way, the information processing system 10 includes a plurality of microphones 31 provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and a plurality of speakers 32 provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c. The microphones 31 and speakers 32 corresponding to each of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c are built into the earphones corresponding to the communication devices.

[0017] The microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to each of the communication devices 20a to 20c are worn by the worker who wears the communication device. That is, the microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device 20a are worn by the worker 1a, the microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device 20b are worn by the worker 1b, and the microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device 20c are worn by the worker 1c. The microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device 20a are worn by the worker 1a by the earphone 30a being worn by the worker 1a. The microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device 20b are worn by the worker 1b by the earphone 30b being worn by the worker 1b. The microphone 31 and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device 20c are worn by the worker 1c by the earphone 30c being worn by the worker 1c.

[0018] Camera 40a is provided with a lamp 41 provided in correspondence with communication device 20a. Although not shown, camera 40b is provided with a lamp 41 provided in correspondence with communication device 20b, and camera 40c is provided with a lamp 41 provided in correspondence with communication device 20c. In this manner, information processing system 10 is provided with a plurality of lamps 41 provided in correspondence with a plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c.

[0019] The lamps 41 corresponding to each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c are worn by the worker wearing the communication device. That is, the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20a is worn by the worker 1a, the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20b is worn by the worker 1b, and the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20c is worn by the worker 1c. The lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20a is worn by the worker 1a because the worker 1a wears the camera 40a. The lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20b is worn by the worker 1b because the worker 1b wears the camera 40b. The lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20c is worn by the worker 1c because the worker 1c wears the camera 40c.

[0020] The communication device 20a has a reception unit 21, application software 22, an acquisition unit 23, a display unit 24, a communication unit 25, a storage unit 26, and a control unit 27. Although not shown in the figure, the communication device 20b also has the reception unit 21, application software 22, an acquisition unit 23, a display unit 24, a communication unit 25, a storage unit 26, and a control unit 27. The communication device 20c also has the reception unit 21, application software 22, an acquisition unit 23, a display unit 24, a communication unit 25, a storage unit 26, and a control unit 27. It is sufficient that at least one of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c has the reception unit 21 and the application software 22.

[0021] The reception unit 21 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c receives a decision operation for deciding a group name of a group for making a call. For example, the decision operation is an input operation for inputting a site name of a site where work is to be performed using the information processing system 10. The work is installation work of temporary scaffolding, exterior wall construction, large-scale repair work, etc. The site name is the address of the site, the building name of a building to be constructed at the site, or the building name of a building already constructed at the site. The building name is XX Building, XX Tower, XX Building (North Side), etc. The decision operation is a selection operation for selecting on a map the site where work is to be performed using the information processing system 10. For example, the reception unit 21 is realized by a touch panel, a hardware button, or the like.

[0022] The application software 22 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c creates a URL for joining the group, including the group name determined based on the decision operation accepted by the acceptance unit 21 of the communication device. That is, the application software 22 of the communication device 20a creates a URL for joining the group, including the group name determined based on the decision operation accepted by the acceptance unit 21 of the communication device 20a, the application software 22 of the communication device 20b creates a URL for joining the group, including the group name determined based on the decision operation accepted by the acceptance unit 21 of the communication device 20b, and the application software 22 of the communication device 20c creates a URL for joining the group, including the group name determined based on the decision operation accepted by the acceptance unit 21 of the communication device 20c. The application software 22 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c is pre-installed in the communication device.

[0023] For example, when the determination operation is an input operation, application software 22 creates a URL with the site name entered by the input operation accepted by acceptance unit 21 as the group name. When the site name is entered in kanji, hiragana, and / or katakana, application software 22 creates a URL including kanji, hiragana, and / or katakana.

[0024] Furthermore, when the determination operation is a selection operation, application software 22 generates a URL with the site name of the site selected by the selection operation accepted by acceptance unit 21 as the group name. For example, a map includes information indicating an address and a building name, and application software 22 generates a URL with the address of the site selected on the map or the name of a building constructed at the site as the site name, and the site name as the group name.

[0025] The acquisition unit 23 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c acquires height information related to the height at which the camera corresponding to the communication device is located. That is, the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20a acquires height information related to the height at which the camera 40a is located, the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20b acquires height information related to the height at which the camera 40b is located, and the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20c acquires height information related to the height at which the camera 40c is located. For example, the height information indicates the height from the ground. Also, the height information indicates the height corresponding to which floor of the building.

[0026] For example, the height information of each of the multiple cameras 40a to 40c is input by a worker wearing a communication device corresponding to the camera. That is, the height information of camera 40a is input by worker 1a, the height information of camera 40b is input by worker 1b, and the height information of camera 40c is input by worker 1c. For example, worker 1a works at a height equivalent to the first floor of a building, so inputs "first floor" as the height information of camera 40a. Worker 1b works at a height equivalent to the second floor of a building, so inputs "second floor" as the height information of camera 40b. Worker 1c works at a height equivalent to the third floor of a building, so inputs "third floor" as the height information of camera 40c.

[0027] In this case, the acquisition unit 23 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c acquires the height information input by the worker wearing the communication device. That is, the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20a acquires the height information input by the worker 1a, the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20b acquires the height information input by the worker 1b, and the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20c acquires the height information input by the worker 1c.

[0028] In addition, the heights of the multiple cameras 40a to 40c may be measured by a sensor or the like, and the acquisition unit 23 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c may acquire height information indicating the height measured by the sensor or the like as height information of the camera corresponding to that communication device.

[0029] The display unit 24 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c displays an image. The image may be a still image or a moving image. For example, the display unit 24 is realized by a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, a plasma display, or the like.

[0030] Each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c acquires an image taken by a camera corresponding to the communication device, and the display unit 24 of the communication device displays the image. That is, communication device 20a acquires an image taken by camera 40a, and the display unit 24 of communication device 20a displays the image. Communication device 20b acquires an image taken by camera 40b, and the display unit 24 of communication device 20b displays the image. Communication device 20c acquires an image taken by camera 40c, and the display unit 24 of communication device 20c displays the image.

[0031] Furthermore, each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c acquires an image taken by a camera corresponding to a communication device other than the communication device, and the display unit 24 of the communication device displays the image. That is, communication device 20a acquires an image taken by cameras 40b and 40c, and the display unit 24 of communication device 20a displays the image. Furthermore, communication device 20b acquires an image taken by cameras 40a and 40c, and the display unit 24 of communication device 20b displays the image. Furthermore, communication device 20c acquires an image taken by cameras 40a and 40b, and the display unit 24 of communication device 20c displays the image.

[0032] The communication unit 25 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c is a communication module for the communication device to wirelessly communicate with other communication devices, earphones corresponding to the communication devices, cameras corresponding to the communication devices, and motion sensors corresponding to the communication devices. That is, the communication unit 25 of the communication device 20a is a communication module for the communication device 20a to wirelessly communicate with other communication devices 20b and 20c, earphones 30a, camera 40a, motion sensor 60a, and the like. The communication unit 25 of the communication device 20b is a communication module for the communication device 20b to wirelessly communicate with other communication devices 20a and 20c, earphones 30b, camera 40b, motion sensor 60b, and the like. The communication unit 25 of the communication device 20c is a communication module for the communication device 20c to wirelessly communicate with other communication devices 20a and 20b, earphones 30c, camera 40c, motion sensor 60c, and the like. For example, the communication unit 25 performs wireless communication by short-range wireless communication or the like. Each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c may be connected by wire to an earphone corresponding to the communication device, a camera corresponding to the communication device, a human presence sensor corresponding to the communication device, and the like, and may communicate with these by wire.

[0033] The storage unit 26 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c stores various information. Specifically, the storage unit 26 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c stores a URL created by the application software 22, altitude information, and the like. For example, the storage unit 26 is realized by a memory or the like. The control unit 27 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c performs various controls. For example, the control unit 27 is realized by a processor or the like.

[0034] The control unit 27 of each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device when the motion sensor corresponding to the communication device detects a person. That is, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20a turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20a when the motion sensor 60a detects a person, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20b turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20b when the motion sensor 60b detects a person, and the control unit 27 of the communication device 20c turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20c when the motion sensor 60c detects a person.

[0035] Each of the control units 27 of the communication devices 20a to 20c turns off the camera corresponding to the communication device when the motion sensor corresponding to the communication device detects a person. That is, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20a turns off the camera 40a when the motion sensor 60a detects a person, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20b turns off the camera 40b when the motion sensor 60b detects a person, and the control unit 27 of the communication device 20c turns off the camera 40c when the motion sensor 60c detects a person.

[0036] The control unit 27 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c turns off the camera corresponding to the communication device when the camera is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height based on the height information acquired by the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device. That is, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20a turns off the camera 40a when the camera 40a is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height based on the height information acquired by the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20a. The control unit 27 of the communication device 20b turns off the camera 40b when the camera 40b is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height based on the height information acquired by the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20b. The control unit 27 of the communication device 20c turns off the camera 40c when the camera 40c is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height based on the height information acquired by the acquisition unit 23 of the communication device 20c.

[0037] For example, the predetermined height is a height equivalent to the second floor of a building. In this case, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20a turns on the camera 40a instead of turning it off if the height at which the camera 40a is located is equivalent to the first floor of a building. The control unit 27 of the communication device 20b turns off the camera 40b if the height at which the camera 40b is located is equivalent to the second floor of a building. The control unit 27 of the communication device 20c turns off the camera 40c if the height at which the camera 40c is located is equivalent to the third floor of a building.

[0038] Each of the control units 27 of the communication devices 20a to 20c may perform either one of turning off the camera corresponding to the communication device when the motion sensor corresponding to the communication device detects a person, or turning off the camera corresponding to the communication device when the camera is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height, or may perform both. For example, whether to perform either one or both is determined by the workers 1a to 1c, etc.

[0039] The control unit 27 of each of the communication devices 20a to 20c turns on the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device when the camera corresponding to the communication device is off. That is, the control unit 27 of the communication device 20a turns on the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20a when the camera 40a is off. The control unit 27 of the communication device 20b turns on the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20b when the camera 40b is off. The control unit 27 of the communication device 20c turns on the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20c when the camera 40c is off.

[0040] When multiple communication devices 20a to 20c access a URL created by the application software 22 and participate in a group, the voice input to each of the multiple microphones 31 is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices via the communication device corresponding to the microphone 31, and is output from the speaker corresponding to the other communication device. That is, the voice input to the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20a is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices 20b and 20c via the communication device 20a, and is output from the speaker 32 corresponding to the other communication devices 20b and 20c. The voice input to the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20b is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices 20a and 20c via the communication device 20b, and is output from the speaker 32 corresponding to the other communication devices 20a and 20c. The voice input to the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20c is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices 20a and 20b via the communication device 20c ...b. In this way, the voice input to each of the multiple microphones 31 is transmitted to another communication device via the communication device corresponding to that microphone 31 by the application software 22 and output from the speaker corresponding to that other communication device, so that the multiple workers 1a to 1c can talk to each other using the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c. Note that when a microphone 31 is off, no voice is input to that microphone 31.

[0041] When multiple communication devices 20a to 20c join a group by accessing a URL created by the application software 22, images taken by each of the multiple cameras 40a to 40c are transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices via the communication devices corresponding to the cameras, and are displayed on the display units 24 of the other communication devices. That is, an image taken by the camera 40a is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices 20b and 20c via the communication device 20a, and is displayed on the display units 24 of the other communication devices 20b and 20c. An image taken by the camera 40b is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices 20a and 20c via the communication device 20b, and is displayed on the display units 24 of the other communication devices 20a and 20c. An image taken by the camera 40c is transmitted by the application software 22 to the other communication devices 20a and 20b via the communication device 20c ...b. In this way, images captured by each of the multiple cameras 40a-40c are transmitted by application software 22 to another communication device via a communication device corresponding to that camera and are displayed on display unit 24 of that other communication device, so that multiple workers 1a-1c can transmit and receive images using multiple communication devices 20a-20c. Note that when each of the multiple cameras 40a-40c is off, that camera does not capture images.

[0042] In this way, there is no need to use wireless devices such as transceivers because the application software 22 can transmit and receive voices and images between the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c. This makes it easy to introduce, keeps costs down, and prevents the antennas of the wireless devices from interfering with work.

Note that, although a case where communication device 20a creates a URL will be described below, communication device 20b or communication device 20c may create a URL.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 3, the communication device 20a (reception unit 21) receives a decision operation for deciding a group name for a group for making a call (step S1). For example, as shown in Fig. 4, a screen for inputting a group name is displayed on the touch panel 28 of the communication device 20a, and the worker 1a inputs a group name (here, "XX Building") using the touch panel 28 and touches the "Create" icon. Here, the touch panel 28 corresponds to the reception unit 21.

[0045] Returning to Fig. 3, communication device 20a (application software 22) creates a URL for joining the group, including the group name determined based on the determination operation accepted by acceptance unit 21 (step S2). For example, as shown in Fig. 5, application software 22 creates a URL including the group name (here, "XX Building"), and the URL created by application software 22 is displayed on touch panel 28 of communication device 20a.

[0046] 3, the communication device 20a (communication unit 25) transmits the URL created by the application software 22 to the other communication device 20b (step S3). For example, the worker 1a copies the URL displayed on the touch panel 28 of the communication device 20a, and transmits the copied URL from the communication device 20a to the communication device 20b by email or the like.

[0047] The communication device 20a (communication unit 25) transmits the URL created by the application software 22 to the other communication device 20c (step S4). For example, the worker 1a copies the URL displayed on the touch panel 28 of the communication device 20a, and transmits the copied URL from the communication device 20a to the communication device 20c by email or the like.

[0048] The communication device 20a accesses the URL created by the application software 22 and joins the group (step S5). For example, when the worker 1a touches the URL displayed on the touch panel 28 of the communication device 20a, the communication device 20a accesses the URL, a "join" icon is displayed on the touch panel 28 of the communication device 20a, and when the worker 1a touches the "join" icon, the communication device 20a joins the group.

[0049] The communication device 20b accesses the URL created by the application software 22 and joins the group (step S6). For example, when the worker 1b touches the URL displayed on the touch panel of the communication device 20b, the communication device 20b accesses the URL, a "join" icon is displayed on the touch panel of the communication device 20b, and when the worker 1b touches the "join" icon, the communication device 20b joins the group.

[0050] The communication device 20c accesses the URL created by the application software 22 and joins the group (step S7). For example, when the worker 1c touches the URL displayed on the touch panel of the communication device 20c, the communication device 20c accesses the URL, a "join" icon is displayed on the touch panel of the communication device 20c, and when the worker 1c touches the "join" icon, the communication device 20c joins the group.

[0051] The application software 22 puts the communication devices 20a-20c into a call-enabled state (step S8). Specifically, the application software 22 transmits the voice input to each of the microphones 31 to the other communication devices via the communication devices corresponding to the microphones 31, and the voice is output from the speakers corresponding to the other communication devices. The application software 22 also transmits the images captured by the cameras 40a-40c to the other communication devices via the communication devices corresponding to the cameras, and the images are displayed on the display units 24 of the other communication devices.

[0052] Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing another example of the information processing method by the information processing system 10 in Fig. 1. With reference to Fig. 6, the other example of the information processing method by the information processing system 10 will be described.

[0053] 6, the communication device 20a (control unit 27) determines whether the human sensor 60a has detected a person (step S11). For example, the communication unit 25 continues to acquire the detection result of the human sensor 60a, and the control unit 27 determines whether the human sensor 60a has detected a person based on the detection result acquired by the communication unit 25.

[0054] When the human presence sensor 60a has not detected a person (No in step S11), the communication device 20a (control unit 27) again determines whether or not the human presence sensor 60a has detected a person (step S11).

[0055] When the human sensor 60a detects a person (Yes in step S11), the communication device 20a (control unit 27) turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20a (step S12), turns off the camera 40a (step S13), and turns on the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20a (step S14). For example, the control unit 27 transmits a control signal to turn off the microphone 31 via the communication unit 25 to turn off the microphone 31, transmits a control signal to turn off the camera 40a via the communication unit 25 to turn off the camera 40a, and transmits a control signal to turn on the lamp 41 via the communication unit 25 to turn on the lamp 41.

[0056] Similarly, when the motion sensor 60b detects a person, the communication device 20b turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20b, turns off the camera 40b, and lights up the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20b. Similarly, when the motion sensor 60c detects a person, the communication device 20c turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device 20c, turns off the camera 40c, and lights up the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20c.

[0057] Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing yet another example of the information processing method by the information processing system 10 in Fig. 1. With reference to Fig. 7, the still another example of the information processing method by the information processing system 10 will be described.

[0058] 7, the communication device 20a (acquisition unit 23) acquires height information regarding the height at which the camera 40a is located (step S21). For example, the worker 1a uses the communication device 20a to input height information indicating that the height at which the camera 40a is located is equivalent to the first floor, and the acquisition unit 23 acquires the input height information.

[0059] The communication device 20a (control unit 27) determines whether the camera 40a is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height (step S22). For example, the predetermined height is a height equivalent to the second floor of a building, and the control unit 27 determines whether the camera 40a is located at a height equal to or higher than a height equivalent to the second floor of a building.

[0060] If the camera 40a is not located at a height equal to or higher than the predetermined height (No in step S22), the communication device 20a (control unit 27) ends the process without turning off the camera 40a. For example, if the height information indicates that the height at which the camera 40a is located is equivalent to the first floor, the control unit 27 keeps the camera 40a on instead of turning it off.

[0061] If the camera 40a is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height (Yes in step S22), the communication device 20a (control unit 27) turns off the camera 40a (step S23) and lights up the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20a (step S24). For example, if the height information indicates that the height at which the camera 40a is located is equivalent to the second floor, the control unit 27 turns off the camera 40a. For example, the control unit 27 transmits a control signal to turn off the camera 40a via the communication unit 25 to turn off the camera 40a, and transmits a control signal to turn on the lamp 41 via the communication unit 25 to turn on the lamp 41.

[0062] Similarly, when the camera 40b of the communication device 20b is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height, the camera 40b is turned off and the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20b is turned on. Similarly, when the camera 40c of the communication device 20c is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height, the camera 40c is turned off and the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device 20c is turned on.

[0063] As described above, the information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, a plurality of microphones 31 provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and a plurality of speakers 32 provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and at least one of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c has a reception unit 21 that receives a decision operation for determining a group name of a group for making a call, and application software 22 that creates a URL for joining the group, including the group name determined based on the decision operation received by the reception unit 21, and when the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c access the URL and join the group, the voice input to each of the plurality of microphones 31 is transmitted by the application software 22 to another communication device via the communication device corresponding to the microphone 31, and is output from the speaker 32 corresponding to the other communication device.

[0064] According to this, a URL for joining a group for making a call can be created that includes the group name determined based on the determination operation received by the reception unit 21, making it easier to find the URL of the group one wishes to join, and preventing one from joining a group other than the one one wishes to join.

[0065] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of earphones 30a to 30c corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and a microphone 31 and a speaker 32 corresponding to each of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c are built into the earphones corresponding to the communication devices.

[0066] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of human presence sensors 60a to 60c provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and each of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c has a control unit 27 that turns off the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device when the human presence sensor corresponding to the communication device detects a person.

[0067] This makes it possible to prevent the voices of people detected by each of the multiple human presence sensors 60a to 60c from being input to the microphone 31, thereby preventing the voices from being output from the speaker 32 corresponding to a communication device other than the communication device corresponding to the human presence sensor.

[0068] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of cameras 40a to 40c provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, each of which has a display unit 24 for displaying images. When the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c access a URL and join a group, images captured by each of the plurality of cameras 40a to 40c are transmitted by application software 22 to other communication devices via the communication device corresponding to the camera, and are displayed on the display unit 24 of the other communication devices. According to this, images captured by each of the multiple cameras 40a to 40c can be transmitted to communication devices other than the communication device corresponding to that camera.

[0069] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of human presence sensors 60a to 60c provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and each of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c has a control unit 27 that turns off the camera corresponding to the communication device when the human presence sensor corresponding to the communication device detects a person.

[0070] This makes it possible to prevent the person detected by each of the multiple human presence sensors 60a to 60c from being photographed, and therefore to prevent the person from being displayed on communication devices other than the communication device corresponding to the human presence sensor.

[0071] Furthermore, in the information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c has an acquisition unit 23 that acquires height information regarding the height at which the camera corresponding to the communication device is located, and a control unit 27 that turns off the camera when the camera is located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height based on the height information acquired by the acquisition unit 23.

[0072] This makes it possible to prevent an image captured by one of the cameras 40a to 40c located at a height equal to or higher than a predetermined height from being displayed on a communication device other than the communication device corresponding to that camera.

[0073] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of lamps 41 corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and each of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c has a control unit 27 that turns on the lamp 41 corresponding to the communication device when the camera corresponding to the communication device is off. According to this, when each of the multiple cameras 40a to 40c is off, it can be easily recognized that the camera is off.

[0074] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a plurality of mobile batteries 50a to 50c provided corresponding to the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c, and each of the plurality of communication devices 20a to 20c is charged by the mobile battery corresponding to the communication device. This allows each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c to be easily charged.

[0075] Furthermore, in the information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the decision operation is an input operation for inputting the site name of the site where work is performed using the information processing system 10, and the application software 22 creates a URL with the site name input by the input operation accepted by the reception unit 21 as the group name.

[0076] This allows the site name to be included in the URL, making it easier to find the URL of the group you want to join, and further reducing the risk of joining a group other than the one you want to join.

[0077] Furthermore, in the information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the decision operation is a selection operation for selecting on a map a site where work will be performed using the information processing system 10, and the application software 22 generates a URL with the site name of the site selected by the selection operation accepted by the acceptance unit 21 as the group name.

[0078] This allows the site name to be easily included in the URL, making it easier to find the URL of the group you want to join, and further reducing the risk of joining a group other than the one you want to join.

[0079] In addition, the information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used when performing work to set up temporary scaffolding, exterior wall construction, or large-scale repair work, and each of the multiple communication devices 20a to 20c, the microphone 31 corresponding to the communication device, and the speaker 32 corresponding to the communication device are worn by a worker performing the work to set up temporary scaffolding, exterior wall construction, or large-scale repair work.
