Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a photo management ledger creation system, a photo management ledger creation method, and a program for controlling a photo management ledger creation system for creating a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction work.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, in pipeline construction work, recording of the work achievements according to the progress of the work is required. The recording of the work achievements includes photos for recording the work situation. Such photos are managed by a management ledger or the like because they are necessary according to the progress of the work.

[0003] The management of photos as described above is often performed manually. Therefore, improvement in the efficiency of the work related to photo management is required. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a construction management ledger automatic creation system that can improve the efficiency of the photographing work of the construction situation at the construction site and can also improve the efficiency of the work of creating a construction management ledger including a construction situation image with a blackboard.

[0004] In the construction management ledger automatic creation system of Patent Document 1, an operator at the construction site acquires a construction situation image with an electronic blackboard by a portable communication terminal, and associates the construction situation image with an electronic blackboard and the character data described on the electronic blackboard with the identification data of each construction work and transmits them to a Web server. The Web server records these data in a database. The construction management ledger creation terminal in the office receives the corresponding construction situation image with an electronic blackboard and the character data described on the electronic blackboard from the Web server, and automatically creates a construction management ledger including the construction situation image with an electronic blackboard.

Summary of the Invention

[0006] As described above, a large number of photographs are taken during pipeline construction, depending on the nature and progress of the work. Furthermore, multiple photographs may be taken during the same stage of the process. Therefore, the number of photographs to be included in the aforementioned management ledger is quite large, making photograph management cumbersome. Additionally, the aforementioned management ledger requires photographs to be listed in a predetermined order. Consequently, the task of listing a large number of photographs in the management ledger in the prescribed order requires considerable effort.

[0007] While the automatic construction management ledger creation system described in Patent Document 1 can automatically create a management ledger using construction status images with an electronic blackboard and text data written on the electronic blackboard, it is difficult to place a large number of photos in the management ledger in a predetermined order or to rearrange the photos on the management ledger.

[0008] Therefore, in pipeline construction, there is a need for a device that can efficiently manage photographic data used to record the progress of the construction work.

[0009] The objective of this invention is to realize a photo management ledger creation system that can efficiently manage photographic data used to record the status of pipeline construction work. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] A photo management ledger creation system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a performance acquisition terminal and a management server, and is a photo management ledger creation system that creates a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction. The management server comprises a construction plan information acquisition unit that acquires construction plan information, which is information relating to the construction plan of the pipeline that is the subject of the pipeline construction; a photo management information generation unit that generates photo management information for managing photo data related to the pipeline construction by linking the construction plan information acquired by the construction plan information acquisition unit to management items; and a photo management information editing unit that sorts the photo management information generated by the photo management information generation unit based on the management items. (First configuration).

[0011] This allows construction plan information to be linked to management items, generating photo management information for managing photographic data related to pipeline construction, and sorting the photo management information based on the management items. Therefore, a large amount of photographic data can be easily organized and managed using the photo management information. Consequently, the task of organizing photographs, which was previously done manually by workers, can be automated by the system, thereby improving the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0012] In the first configuration described above, the performance acquisition terminal includes a photo management information acquisition unit that acquires the photo management information from the management server, a photo data acquisition unit that acquires the photo data corresponding to the photo management information acquired by the photo management information acquisition unit, and a data output unit that outputs the photo data acquired by the photo data acquisition unit together with the photo management information to the management server. The management server has a performance photo information generation unit that generates performance photo information using the photo data and photo management information output from the performance acquisition terminal (second configuration).

[0013] This allows the management server to link the photo data acquired by the performance acquisition terminal with the photo management information to generate performance photo information. Therefore, a large amount of the aforementioned photo data can be organized and managed in conjunction with the aforementioned photo management information. Thus, the efficiency of pipeline construction work can be improved.

[0014] In the second configuration described above, the management server further includes a performance photo information editing unit that sorts the multiple performance photo information generated by the performance photo information generation unit based on the management items (third configuration).

[0015] This allows multiple photographic data to be acquired during a single stage of pipeline construction, generating multiple pieces of actual photographic data. These multiple pieces of actual photographic data can then be sorted based on management criteria. Therefore, large amounts of photographic data can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, this improves the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0016] In the third configuration described above, the management item includes at least one of the measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time (fourth configuration).

[0017] This allows for the sorting and management of photographic management information or actual photographic information by at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0018] In the fourth configuration described above, the actual photograph information editing unit rearranges the multiple actual photograph information generated by the actual photograph information generation unit in the order of measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time (fifth configuration).

[0019] This allows multiple pieces of actual work photograph information to be sorted first by measurement point location, then by work item, and finally by type of work and time of work. Therefore, the multiple pieces of actual work photograph information can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, the efficiency of pipeline construction work can be improved. Moreover, by sorting the multiple pieces of actual work photograph information as described above, management can be carried out in a manner that is in line with the actual work of pipeline construction.

[0020] In the third configuration, the performance photo information editing unit rearranges a plurality of pieces of performance photo information in which all items of the management items are the same according to the time when the photo data is acquired by the photo data acquisition unit (sixth configuration).

[0021] Thereby, a plurality of pieces of performance photo information in which all items of the management items are the same can be rearranged according to the time when the photo data is acquired. Therefore, the plurality of pieces of performance photo information can be easily sorted and managed. Thus, the work efficiency of pipeline construction can be realized.

[0022] In the third configuration, the performance photo information editing unit can change the order of a plurality of pieces of performance photo information generated by the performance photo information generation unit in an arbitrary order (seventh configuration).

[0023] Thereby, the order of a plurality of pieces of performance photo information can be changed in an arbitrary order. Therefore, the order of the plurality of pieces of performance photo information can be changed according to the progress status of pipeline construction or the like. Thus, the work efficiency of pipeline construction can be realized.

[0024] In the third configuration, the performance photo information editing unit generates performance photo information separately from the plurality of pieces of performance photo information generated by the performance photo information generation unit, and can replace the generated performance photo information with a part of the plurality of pieces of performance photo information or insert the generated performance photo information in a predetermined order with respect to the plurality of pieces of performance photo information (eighth configuration).

[0025] Thereby, after generating a plurality of pieces of performance photo information by the performance photo information generation unit, new performance photo information can be generated and replaced with a part of the plurality of pieces of performance photo information or inserted in a predetermined order with respect to the plurality of pieces of performance photo information. Therefore, performance photo information can be added according to the progress status of pipeline construction or the like. Thus, the work efficiency of pipeline construction can be realized.

[0026] In the third configuration, the management server further includes a performance photo information output unit that outputs the selected performance photo information among the plurality of performance photo information arranged by the performance photo information editing unit (the ninth configuration).

[0027] Thereby, it is possible to output the selected performance photo information among the plurality of performance photo information arranged by the photo management information editing unit. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of pipeline construction.

[0028] A method for creating a photo management ledger according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method for creating a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction using a photo management ledger creation system including a performance acquisition terminal and a management server. The method for creating the photo management ledger includes a construction plan information acquisition step in which the management server acquires construction plan information that is information related to the construction plan of a pipeline that is the target of the pipeline construction, and a photo management information generation step in which the management server associates the construction plan information acquired in the construction plan information acquisition step with management items and generates photo management information for managing photo data related to the pipeline construction, and a photo management information editing step in which the management server arranges the photo management information generated in the photo management information generation step based on the management items (the first method).

[0029] Thereby, it is possible to generate photo management information for managing photo data related to pipeline construction by associating construction plan information with management items, and to arrange the photo management information based on the management items. Therefore, a large amount of the photo data can be easily sorted and managed by the photo management information. Therefore, since the operation of manually sorting photos by an operator in the past can be automatically performed, the work efficiency of pipeline construction can be improved.

[0030] In the first method described above, the photo management ledger creation method includes: a photo management information acquisition step in which the performance acquisition terminal acquires the photo management information from the management server; a photo data acquisition step in which the performance acquisition terminal acquires the photo data corresponding to the photo management information acquired in the photo management information acquisition step; a photo data output step in which the performance acquisition terminal outputs the photo data acquired in the photo data acquisition step together with the photo management information to the management server; and a performance photo information generation step in which the management server generates performance photo information using the photo data and photo management information output from the performance acquisition terminal (second method).

[0031] This allows the management server to link the photo data acquired by the performance acquisition terminal with the photo management information to generate performance photo information. Therefore, a large amount of the aforementioned photo data can be organized and managed in conjunction with the photo management information. Consequently, this can improve the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0032] In the second method described above, the photo management ledger creation method further includes a performance photo information editing step of sorting the multiple performance photo information generated in the performance photo information generation step based on the management items (third method).

[0033] This allows multiple photographic data to be acquired during a single stage of pipeline construction, generating multiple pieces of actual photographic data. These multiple pieces of actual photographic data can then be sorted based on management criteria. Therefore, large amounts of photographic data can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, this improves the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0034] In the third method described above, the control item includes at least one of the measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time (fourth method).

[0035] This allows for the sorting and management of photographic management information or actual photographic information by at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of pipeline construction work. Moreover, by sorting the photographic management information or actual photographic information as described above, management can be carried out in accordance with the actual work of pipeline construction.

[0036] A program for controlling a photo management ledger creation system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a program for controlling a photo management ledger creation system that creates a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction, comprising a performance acquisition terminal and a management server. The program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system causes the management server to acquire construction plan information, which is information relating to the construction plan of the pipeline that is the subject of the pipeline construction, to link the acquired construction plan information to management items, to generate photo management information for managing photo data related to the pipeline construction, and to sort the generated photo management information based on the management items (first program).

[0037] This allows for the generation of photo management information for managing photographic data related to pipeline construction, linking construction plan information to management items, and sorting based on those management items. Therefore, a large amount of photographic data can be easily organized and managed using this photo management information. Consequently, the task of organizing photographs, which was previously done manually by workers, can be automated by the system, thereby improving the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0038] In the first program, the program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system causes the performance acquisition terminal to acquire the photo management information from the management server, to acquire the photo data corresponding to the acquired photo management information, to output the acquired photo data together with the photo management information to the management server, and to cause the management server to generate performance photo information using the photo data and photo management information output from the performance acquisition terminal (second program).

[0039] This allows the management server to link the photo data acquired by the performance acquisition terminal with the photo management information to generate performance photo information. Therefore, a large amount of the aforementioned photo data can be organized and managed in conjunction with the aforementioned photo management information. Thus, the efficiency of pipeline construction work can be improved.

[0040] In the second program, the program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system causes the management server to sort the generated multiple actual photo information based on the management items (third program).

[0041] This allows multiple photographic data to be acquired during a single stage of pipeline construction, generating multiple pieces of actual photographic data. These multiple pieces of actual photographic data can then be sorted based on management criteria. Therefore, large amounts of photographic data can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, this improves the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0042] In the third program, the management item includes at least one of the measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time (fourth program).

[0043] This allows for the sorting and management of photographic management information or actual photographic information by at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of pipeline construction work. Moreover, by sorting the photographic management information or actual photographic information as described above, management can be carried out in accordance with the actual work of pipeline construction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0045] This allows for easy organization and management of large amounts of photographic data using the aforementioned photographic management information.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0047] The following describes each embodiment with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of those parts will not be repeated. Note that the dimensions of the components in each drawing do not faithfully represent the dimensions of the actual components or the dimensional ratios of each component.

[0048] [Embodiment 1] (Photo management ledger creation system) Figure 1 is a functional block diagram showing the schematic configuration of a photo management ledger creation system 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The photo management ledger creation system 1 is a system that automatically creates a photo management ledger for managing photo data P1 related to pipeline construction work such as water pipes. The pipeline construction work refers to work involving the burial of pipes, etc. underground. The pipeline construction work includes not only work involving the new burial of pipes, etc. underground, but also work involving the replacement of pipes, etc. that are already buried underground. The pipes, etc. include not only pipes, but also components necessary to constitute a pipeline, such as valves.

[0049] The photo management ledger creation system 1 comprises a performance acquisition terminal 10 and a management server 20. The performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 20 are capable of sending and receiving data. The performance acquisition terminal 10 acquires photo data P1 and transmits it to the management server 20. The management server 20 generates and manages performance photo information D2 based on the photo data P1 and photo management information D1. Photo management information D1 is generated by the management server 20 from construction plan information. The construction plan information includes process information and measurement point location information for managed construction work. The performance photo information D2 is the data that constitutes the photo management ledger described above.

[0050] (Devices that have achieved results) The performance acquisition terminal 10 is configured to send and receive data with the management server 20 and to acquire photographic data related to pipeline construction. The performance acquisition terminal 10 may be, for example, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet, or an imaging device such as a camera, or a computing device such as a computer. In other words, the configuration of the performance acquisition terminal 10 may be any configuration as long as it is capable of sending and receiving data with the management server 20 and to acquire photographic data related to pipeline construction.

[0051] The performance acquisition terminal 10 may be a work terminal owned by a pipeline construction contractor or a terminal owned by a water utility. The performance acquisition terminal 10 can access the management server 20 using an ID owned by the construction contractor or water utility.

[0052] The performance acquisition terminal 10 includes a terminal-side communication unit 11, a photo data acquisition unit 12, and a control unit 13. The performance acquisition terminal 10 may also have a storage unit capable of storing the photo data P1 acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12.

[0053] The terminal-side communication unit 11 has a configuration that enables it to send and receive data with the management server 20. The terminal-side communication unit 11 may be, for example, a wireless communication device having an antenna, or a wired communication device to which a communication cable can be connected. The terminal-side communication unit 11 outputs data received from the management server 20 to the control unit 13, and transmits data output from the control unit 13 to the management server 20.

[0054] The photo data acquisition unit 12 acquires photo data P1 related to pipeline construction. The photo data acquisition unit 12 may acquire photo data P1 from an imaging device such as a camera, or it may be an imaging unit such as a camera unit integrated with the performance acquisition terminal 10. In other words, the configuration of the photo data acquisition unit 12 can be any configuration as long as it is capable of acquiring photo data P1.

[0055] The photo data acquisition unit 12 acquires photo data P1 corresponding to the photo management information D1 acquired by the photo management information acquisition unit 14 of the control unit 13 (described later). In other words, the photo data P1 acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12 is determined by the photo management information D1. The acquisition of photo data P1 of pipeline construction by the photo data acquisition unit 12 may be performed, for example, by the operation of a worker, or it may be performed automatically by the control unit 13, etc.

[0056] The control unit 13 acquires photo management information D1 from the management server 20, and causes the photo data acquisition unit 12 to acquire photo data P1 corresponding to the photo management information D1, and outputs the acquired photo data P1 to the management server 20. Specifically, the control unit 13 has a photo management information acquisition unit 14 and a data output unit 15. The control unit 13 may also instruct the control unit 30 of the management server 20 to edit the photo management information D1 in response to an input operation unit (not shown).

[0057] The photo management information acquisition unit 14 acquires photo management information D1 from the management server 20 via the terminal-side communication unit 11. Photo management information D1 is information generated by the management server 20 based on construction plan information in order to manage photo data P1, as will be described in detail later. Photo management information D1 includes information related to the construction plan, such as measurement point locations, items, and types of work. In addition, photo management information D1 also includes information about the photo data associated with photo management information D1 (for example, the timing of photo data acquisition, image content, etc.).

[0058] The control unit 13 causes the photo data acquisition unit 12 to acquire photo data P1 corresponding to the photo management information D1 acquired by the photo management information acquisition unit 14. That is, the control unit 13 generates a photo data acquisition signal and outputs it to the photo data acquisition unit 12.

[0059] The data output unit 15 outputs the photo data P1 acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12, along with the corresponding photo management information D1, to the management server 20 via the terminal-side communication unit 11. As a result, the photo data P1 is transmitted to the management server 20 together with the photo management information D1.

[0060] The data output unit 15 may output the photo data P1 acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12 one by one to the management server 20, or it may output multiple photo data P1 together to the management server 20.

[0061] (Management Server) The management server 20 manages photo data P1 and photo management information D1. Specifically, the management server 20 generates photo management information D1 based on construction plan information and sorts the photo management information D1 based on management items. Furthermore, the management server 20 generates and outputs actual photo information D2 using the photo management information D1 and the photo data P1 transmitted from the actual acquisition terminal 10.

[0062] Specifically, the management server 20 includes a server-side communication unit 21, a control unit 30, and a storage unit 40.

[0063] The server-side communication unit 21 has a configuration that allows it to send and receive data with the performance acquisition terminal 10. The server-side communication unit 21 may be, for example, a wireless communication device with an antenna, or a wired communication device to which a communication cable can be connected. The server-side communication unit 21 outputs the data received from the performance acquisition terminal 10 to the control unit 30, and transmits the data output from the control unit 30 to the performance acquisition terminal 10.

[0064] The control unit 30 performs calculations for managing the photo data P1 and photo management information D1. The control unit 30 may be implemented by an arithmetic processing unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit). The storage unit 40 stores the program necessary for the calculations of the control unit 30, as well as the data obtained by the calculations of the control unit 30. The storage unit 40 may be implemented by a storage device such as a volatile or non-volatile RAM (Read Only Memory) or ROM (Random Access Memory). The storage unit 40 may be implemented by an internal or external storage device or removable media. Specifically, the storage unit 40 may be a cache memory and a main memory. Furthermore, specifically, the storage unit 40 may be an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD (Solid State Drive) or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

[0065] The control unit 30 includes a construction plan information acquisition unit 31, a photo management information generation unit 32, a photo management information editing unit 33, and a performance photo information generation unit 34.

[0066] The construction plan information acquisition unit 31 acquires construction plan information from a management device (not shown) that creates and manages construction plan information. The construction plan information includes information on at least one of the following: work schedule, work instructions, work order sheets, quantity calculations of materials such as water pipes used in the construction, estimates and delivery date plans for the materials, and inventory management and procurement plans for the materials. The construction plan is created according to conditions such as design information, type of construction, specifications and number of heavy machines to be used, transportation time, working time, number of workers, and construction environment. The construction environment refers to the environment of the place where the water pipe construction is to be carried out, such as the time of day when construction is possible, road traffic volume, type of nearby buildings (commercial, residential, etc.), weather, and season.

[0067] The photo management information generation unit 32 generates photo management information D1 based on the construction plan information acquired by the construction plan information acquisition unit 31. As previously described, the photo management information D1 includes information related to the construction plan, such as measurement points, items, and types of work. The photo management information D1 also includes information about the photo data P1 linked to the photo management information D1 (for example, the timing of photo data acquisition, image content, etc.). Figure 3 shows an example of photo management information D1. As shown in Figure 3, the photo management information D1 includes construction information d1a, which includes some of the information from the construction plan, and linking information d1b, which links the corresponding photo data P1. The arrangement of the construction information d1a and the linking information d1b may be in any order.

[0068] The photo management information generation unit 32 generates multiple photo management information D1 categorized by measurement point location, work item, work type, etc., based on the construction plan information. Each of the multiple photo management information D1 has information that can be linked to the corresponding photo data P1. This information is such that photo data can be linked according to measurement point location, work item, work type, etc. The photo management information D1 includes not only information such as measurement point location, work item, and work type, but also design information obtained from the construction plan information.

[0069] The photo management information D1 generated by the photo management information generation unit 32 is output from the control unit 30 and stored in the storage unit 40.

[0070] Figure 2 shows an example of measurement point locations in a management construction project. The construction plan information includes information on measurement point locations as shown in Figure 2. Note that the measurement point locations are the same as the management locations in the construction plan information. The management locations are set at predetermined intervals M from the starting point L1 to the ending point L2 of the construction section TP in the pipeline PL. In Figure 2, the management locations are shown as A0 (starting point L1) to A9 (ending point L2).

[0071] The aforementioned work items include items for which photographs are taken, such as before construction begins, after completion, construction status, safety management, materials used, quality control, and progress management.

[0072] The aforementioned types of work include various types of work in pipeline construction, such as pipe laying, valve and plug installation, temporary works, quality control, temporary equipment, material inspection, safety facilities, and water supply pipe switching work.

[0073] The photo management information editing unit 33 edits multiple photo management information D1 stored in the storage unit 40. The photo management information editing unit 33 rearranges the multiple photo management information D1 based on management items. The management items include at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work (hereinafter also referred to as work type), and work time. The photo management information editing unit 33 rearranges the multiple photo management information D1 by each item in the order of measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. By rearranging the photo management information D1 in this way, photo management can be performed in accordance with the actual work of pipeline construction. The photo management information editing unit 33 may rearrange all of the photo management information D1 as described above, or it may rearrange some of the selected photo management information D1 as described above.

[0074] Figures 4 and 5 schematically show an example of a rearranged state of multiple photo management information D1. In Figures 4 and 5, an example of the construction status at the same measurement point location is shown arranged in order of work type. In this way, the photo management information editing unit 33 arranges multiple photo management information D1 in order. In the example shown in Figure 4, the photo management information editing unit 33 arranges multiple photo management information D1 in the order of top left, bottom left, top right, and bottom right, corresponding to the order of work type. In the example shown in Figure 5, the photo management information editing unit 33 arranges multiple photo management information D1 in the order of top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right, corresponding to the order of work type, so that the pre-construction and post-completion photo management information D1 are side by side. Note that the pre-construction and post-completion photo management information D1 may be configured so that two photo management information D1 on the left and right sides constitute one set.

[0075] The photo management information editing unit 33 may delete some of the multiple photo management information D1s, or it may add other photo management information D1s to multiple photo management information D1s. When photo management information D1s are added later, it is preferable to flag the added photo management information D1s so that they can be distinguished from the photo management information D1s created based on the construction plan information. This allows for more reliable checking of the contents of the added photo management information D1s. In addition, even when deleting or adding photo management information D1s, the photo management information editing unit 33 rearranges the multiple photo management information D1s based on the management items.

[0076] The photo management information editing unit 33 may change the order of the multiple photo management information D1 generated by the photo management information generation unit 32 to any order.

[0077] The performance photo information generation unit 34 generates performance photo information D2 by associating the photo data P1 acquired from the performance acquisition terminal 10 with the plurality of photo management information D1 stored in the storage unit 40. The performance photo information D2 generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34 is stored in the storage unit 40. The performance photo information generation unit 34 may also generate performance photo information D2 based on the photo management information D1 and photo data P1 respectively acquired from the performance acquisition terminal 10.

[0078] Figure 6 shows an example of the actual photo information D2. As shown in Figure 6, the actual photo information D2 includes the construction information d1a of the photo management information D1 and the photo data P1 linked to the linking information d1b. Note that if there is no photo data, the photo data section of the actual photo information D2 will be blank (no photo).

[0079] Based on the above, the photo management ledger creation system 1 comprises a performance acquisition terminal 10 and a management server 20, and is a system for creating a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction work. The management server 20 comprises a construction plan information acquisition unit 31 that acquires construction plan information, which is information related to the construction plan of pipeline PL that is the target of the pipeline construction work; a photo management information generation unit 32 that links the construction plan information acquired by the construction plan information acquisition unit 31 to management items and generates photo management information D1 for managing photo data P1 related to the pipeline construction work; and a photo management information editing unit 33 that sorts the photo management information D1 generated by the photo management information generation unit 32 based on the management items.

[0080] This allows construction plan information to be linked to management items, generating photo management information D1 for managing photo data P1 related to pipeline construction, and sorting the photo management information D1 based on the management items. Therefore, a large amount of photo data P1 can be easily organized and managed using the photo management information D1. Consequently, the task of organizing photos, which was previously done manually by workers, can be automated by the system, thereby improving the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0081] Furthermore, the performance acquisition terminal 10 includes a photo management information acquisition unit 14 that acquires photo management information D1 from the management server 20, a photo data acquisition unit 12 that acquires photo data P1 corresponding to the photo management information D1 acquired by the photo management information acquisition unit 14, and a data output unit 15 that outputs the photo data P1 acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12 together with the photo management information D1 to the management server 20. The management server 20 has a performance photo information generation unit 34 that generates performance photo information D2 using the photo data P1 and photo management information D1 output from the performance acquisition terminal 10.

[0082] This allows the management server 20 to link the photo data P1 acquired by the performance acquisition terminal 10 with the photo management information D1 to generate performance photo information D2. Therefore, a large amount of photo data P1 can be organized and managed in conjunction with the photo management information D1. Thus, the efficiency of pipeline construction work can be improved.

[0083] (How to create a photo management ledger) Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating the method for creating a photo management ledger using the photo management ledger creation system 1 having the configuration described above. The photo management ledger creation method will be explained below using Figure 7.

[0084] As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, first, when the flow starts (START), the construction plan information acquisition unit 31 of the management server 20 of the photo management ledger creation system 1 acquires construction plan information from a management device (not shown) (step SA1). Subsequently, the photo management information generation unit 32 of the management server 20 generates photo management information D1 based on the acquired construction plan information (step SA2).

[0085] The photo management information editing unit 33 of the management server 20 edits the multiple photo management information D1 generated by the photo management information generation unit 32 (step SA3). Specifically, the photo management information editing unit 33 sorts the multiple photo management information D1 based on management items. The management items include at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work (hereinafter also referred to as work type), and work time. The photo management information editing unit 33 sorts the multiple photo management information D1 by each item in the order of measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time.

[0086] The photo management information acquisition unit 14 of the performance acquisition terminal 10 acquires photo management information D1 corresponding to the work details of the pipeline construction from the management server 20 via the terminal-side communication unit 11 (step SA4). Subsequently, the photo data acquisition unit 12 of the performance acquisition terminal 10 acquires photo data P1 corresponding to the photo management information D1 (step SA5).

[0087] The data output unit 15 of the performance acquisition terminal 10 outputs the acquired photo data P1, along with the corresponding photo management information D1, to the management server 20 via the terminal-side communication unit 11 (step SA6). The performance photo information generation unit 34 of the management server 20 generates performance photo information D2 by associating the photo data P1 obtained from the performance acquisition terminal 10 with the corresponding photo management information D1 (step SA7). After that, this flow ends (END).

[0088] Here, step SA1 corresponds to the construction plan information acquisition step, step SA2 corresponds to the photo management information generation step, step SA3 corresponds to the photo management information editing step, step SA4 corresponds to the photo management information acquisition step, step SA5 corresponds to the photo data acquisition step, step SA6 corresponds to the photo data output step, and step SA7 corresponds to the actual perspective information generation step.

[0089] This allows the management server 20 to edit the multiple generated photo management information D1. Furthermore, the management server 20 can generate actual photo information D2 using the photo management information D1 and the photo data P1 acquired by the actual acquisition terminal 10.

[0090] Based on the above, the photo management ledger creation method is a method for creating a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction using a photo management ledger creation system 1 having a performance acquisition terminal 10 and a management server 20. The photo management ledger creation method includes: a construction plan information acquisition step SA1 in which the management server 20 acquires construction plan information, which is information relating to the construction plan of the pipeline PL that is the target of the pipeline construction; a photo management information generation step SA2 in which the management server 20 links the construction plan information acquired in the construction plan information acquisition step SA1 to management items and generates photo management information D1 for managing photo data P1 related to the pipeline construction; and a photo management information editing step SA3 in which the management server 20 rearranges the photo management information D1 generated in the photo management information generation step SA2 based on the management items.

[0091] This allows construction plan information to be linked to management items, generating photo management information D1 for managing photographic data P1 related to pipeline construction, and sorting the photo management information D1 based on the management items. Therefore, a large amount of photographic data P1 can be easily organized and managed using the photo management information D1. Consequently, the task of organizing photographs, which was previously done manually by workers, can be automated, thereby improving the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0092] Furthermore, the photo management ledger creation method includes: a photo management information acquisition step SA4 in which the performance acquisition terminal 10 acquires photo management information D1 from the management server 20; a photo data acquisition step SA5 in which the performance acquisition terminal 10 acquires photo data P1 corresponding to the photo management information D1 acquired in the photo management information acquisition step SA4; a photo data output step SA6 in which the performance acquisition terminal 10 outputs the photo data P1 acquired in the photo data acquisition step SA5 together with the photo management information D1 to the management server 20; and a performance photo information generation step SA7 in which the management server 20 generates performance photo information D2 using the photo data P1 and photo management information D1 output from the performance acquisition terminal 10.

[0093] This allows the management server 20 to link the photo data P1 acquired by the performance acquisition terminal 10 with the photo management information D1 to generate performance photo information D2. Therefore, a large amount of photo data P1 can be organized and managed in conjunction with the photo management information D1. Consequently, the efficiency of pipeline construction work can be improved.

[0094] (Program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system) The program in this embodiment (the program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system) is any program that causes the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 20, which constitute the photo management ledger creation system 1, to execute steps SA1 to SA4 shown in Figure 7. By executing this program on the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 20, the photo management ledger creation system 1 and the photo management ledger creation method in this embodiment can be realized. In this case, the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 20 may be general-purpose computers or dedicated computers. The computer, for example, is equipped with a CPU, and the CPU (Central Processing Unit) performs calculation processing.

[0095] Based on the above, the photo management ledger creation system control program is a program for controlling a photo management ledger creation system 1 that creates a photo management ledger related to pipeline construction, and comprises a performance acquisition terminal 10 and a management server 20. The photo management ledger creation system control program causes the management server 20 to acquire construction plan information, which is information related to the construction plan of the pipeline PL that is the target of the pipeline construction, to link the acquired construction plan information to management items, to generate photo management information D1 for managing photo data P1 related to the pipeline construction, and to sort the generated photo management information D1 based on the management items.

[0096] This allows construction plan information to be linked to management items, generating photo management information D1 for managing photo data P1 related to pipeline construction, and sorting the photo management information D1 based on the management items. Therefore, a large amount of photo data P1 can be easily organized and managed using the photo management information D1. Consequently, the task of organizing photos, which was previously done manually by workers, can be automated by the system, thereby improving the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0097] Furthermore, the program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system may be a program that causes the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 20, which constitute the photo management ledger creation system 1, to execute steps SA5 to SA7 shown in Figure 7.

[0098] In other words, the program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system causes the performance acquisition terminal 10 to acquire photo management information D1 from the management server 20, to acquire photo data P1 corresponding to the acquired photo management information D1, to output the acquired photo data P1 together with the photo management information D1 to the management server 20, and to cause the management server 20 to generate performance photo information D2 using the photo data P1 and photo management information D1 output from the performance acquisition terminal 10.

[0099] This allows the management server 20 to link the photo data P1 acquired by the performance acquisition terminal 10 with the photo management information D1, thereby generating performance photo information D2. Therefore, a large amount of photo data P1 can be organized and managed in conjunction with the photo management information D1. This enables improved work efficiency in pipeline construction.

[0100] [Embodiment 2] Figure 8 is a functional block diagram showing the schematic configuration of the photo management ledger creation system 100 according to Embodiment 2. The photo management ledger creation system 100 of this embodiment differs from the photo management ledger creation system 1 of Embodiment 1 in that it has a performance photo information editing unit 135 and a performance photo information output unit 136. In the following, only the parts that differ from Embodiment 1 will be denoted by reference numerals and described, and the parts that are the same as Embodiment 1 will not be described.

[0101] The photo management ledger creation system 100 includes a performance acquisition terminal 10 and a management server 120. The management server 120 includes a control unit 130 and a storage unit 40. The control unit 130 includes a construction plan information acquisition unit 31, a photo management information generation unit 32, a photo management information editing unit 33, a performance photo information generation unit 34, a performance photo information editing unit 135, and a performance photo information output unit 136.

[0102] The actual photograph information editing unit 135 edits the actual photograph information D2 generated by the actual photograph information generation unit 34 and stored in the storage unit 40. The actual photograph information editing unit 135 sorts the multiple actual photograph information D2 based on management items. The management items include at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work (hereinafter also referred to as work type), and work time. The actual photograph information editing unit 135 sorts the multiple actual photograph information D2 by each item in the order of measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. By sorting the actual photograph information D2 in this way, photographic management can be performed in accordance with the actual work of pipeline construction. The actual photograph information editing unit 135 may sort all of the actual photograph information D2 as described above, or it may sort some of the selected actual photograph information D2 as described above.

[0103] The performance photo information editing unit 135 may sort multiple performance photo information D2, each having the same management items, according to the time the photo data P1 was acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12 of the performance acquisition terminal 10. This allows multiple performance photo information D2, each having the same management items, to be sorted according to the time the photo data P1 was acquired. Therefore, multiple performance photo information D2 can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, the work efficiency of pipeline construction can be improved.

[0104] The performance photo information editing unit 135 may change the order of the multiple performance photo information D2 generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34. This allows the order of multiple performance photo information D2 to be changed arbitrarily. Therefore, the order of multiple performance photo information D2 can be changed according to the progress of the pipeline construction, etc. Thus, the work efficiency of the pipeline construction can be improved.

[0105] The performance photo information editing unit 135 may generate performance photo information D2 separately from the multiple performance photo information D2 generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34, and may replace some of the multiple performance photo information D2 with the generated performance photo information D2 or insert it into the multiple performance photo information D2 in a predetermined order.

[0106] This allows the performance photo information generation unit 34 to generate multiple performance photo information D2s, then generate new performance photo information D2s, replace some of the multiple performance photo information D2s with the generated performance photo information D2s, or insert the generated performance photo information D2s into the multiple performance photo information D2s in a predetermined order. Therefore, the performance photo information D2s can be replaced or added according to the progress of the pipeline construction work. Consequently, the efficiency of pipeline construction work can be improved.

[0107] The actual photograph information output unit 136 outputs at least a portion of the multiple actual photograph information D2 edited by the actual photograph information editing unit 135. The actual photograph information output unit 136 may, for example, output selected actual photograph information D2 from among the multiple actual photograph information D2 sorted by the actual photograph information editing unit 135. This makes it possible to output selected actual photograph information D2 from among the multiple actual photograph information D2 sorted by the actual photograph information editing unit 135. Thus, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of pipeline construction.

[0108] The actual photo information D2 output from the actual photo information output unit 136 may have a predetermined file format that constitutes part of the photo management ledger. Furthermore, the actual photo information D2 output from the actual photo information output unit 136 may be displayed on a display device (not shown), printed on a printing medium such as paper by a printing device (not shown), or transmitted to the actual acquisition terminal 10 via the server-side communication unit 21 and displayed on the display unit of the actual acquisition terminal 10.

[0109] The control unit 13 of the performance acquisition terminal 10 may, in response to an input operation to an input operation unit (not shown), instruct the control unit 30 of the management server 20 to edit the photo management information D1 and the performance photo information D2, or to instruct it to output the performance photo information D2.

[0110] (How to create a photo management ledger) Figure 9 is a flowchart showing the method for creating a photo management ledger performed by the photo management ledger creation system 100 having the configuration described above. The method for creating a photo management ledger according to this embodiment will be explained below with reference to Figure 9.

[0111] As shown in Figure 9, when the flow starts (START), the photo management ledger creation system 100 performs the operations from step SA1 to SA7, similar to the photo management ledger creation system 1 of Embodiment 1. Note that steps SA1 to SA7 in Figure 9 are the same as the photo management ledger creation method performed by the photo management ledger creation system 1 of Embodiment 1. Therefore, the explanation of steps SA1 to SA7 in Figure 9 is omitted.

[0112] In step SA7, the performance photo information generation unit 34 of the management server 20 generates performance photo information D2. In step SB8, the performance photo information editing unit 135 edits the generated performance photo information D2. For example, the performance photo information editing unit 135 rearranges multiple performance photo information D2s based on management items.

[0113] The performance photo information editing unit 135 may rearrange multiple performance photo information D2s, each with the same management item, according to the time when the photo data P1 was acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12 of the performance acquisition terminal 10. The performance photo information editing unit 135 may change the order of the multiple performance photo information D2s generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34. The performance photo information editing unit 135 may generate performance photo information D2s separately from the multiple performance photo information D2s generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34, and replace some of the multiple performance photo information D2s with the generated performance photo information D2s, or insert them into the multiple performance photo information D2s in a predetermined order.

[0114] The actual photo information output unit 136 outputs at least a portion of the multiple actual photo information D2 edited by the actual photo information editing unit 135 (step SB9). The actual photo information D2 output from the actual photo information output unit 136 may have a predetermined file format that constitutes part of the photo management ledger. The actual photo information D2 output from the actual photo information output unit 136 may, for example, be displayed on a display device, printed on a printing medium such as paper by a printing device, or transmitted to the actual acquisition terminal 10 via the server-side communication unit 21 and displayed on the display unit of the actual acquisition terminal 10. After this, this flow ends (END).

[0115] Here, step SB8 corresponds to the performance photo information editing step.

[0116] The photo management ledger creation method of this embodiment further includes a photo editing step SB8 which rearranges a plurality of actual photo information D2 generated in the actual photo information generation step SA7 of Embodiment 1 based on management items.

[0117] This allows multiple photographic data P1 to be acquired during a single stage of pipeline construction, generating multiple actual photographic information D2. These D2 data can then be sorted based on management criteria. Therefore, a large amount of photographic data P1 can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, this improves the efficiency of pipeline construction work.

[0118] (Program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system) The program in this embodiment (program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system) is any program that causes the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 120, which constitute the photo management ledger creation system 100, to execute steps SA1 to SA7, SB8, and SB9 shown in Figure 9. By executing this program on the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 120, the photo management ledger creation system 100 and the photo management ledger creation method in this embodiment can be realized. In this case, the performance acquisition terminal 10 and the management server 120 may be general-purpose computers or dedicated computers. The computer, for example, is equipped with a CPU, and the CPU (Central Processing Unit) performs calculation processing.

[0119] Based on the above, the program for controlling the photo management ledger creation system causes the management server 120 to sort the generated multiple actual photo information D2 based on management items. This allows the multiple actual photo information D2 to be sorted based on management items, for example, when multiple photo data P1 are acquired in one process of pipeline construction and multiple actual photo information D2 are generated. Therefore, a large amount of photo data P1 can be easily organized and managed. Consequently, the work efficiency of pipeline construction can be improved.

[0120] [Other embodiments] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments described above are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is possible to carry out the invention by appropriately modifying the embodiments described above without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0121] In each of the above embodiments, the photo management ledger creation system 1,100 automatically creates a photo management ledger for managing photographic data related to pipeline construction, such as water pipes. However, the photo management ledger creation system may also automatically create a photo management ledger for managing photographic data related to construction in piping, including sewer pipes, gas pipes, underground pipes, agricultural water pipes, etc. The photo management ledger creation system may also automatically create a photo management ledger for managing photographic data related to construction of polyethylene pipes, not just iron pipes.

[0122] Although not specifically described in the above embodiments, the management server 20 may be implemented by one or more computer devices.

[0123] In each of the above embodiments, the photo management ledger creation system 1,100 includes a management server 20 and one performance acquisition terminal 10 that can communicate with the management server 20. However, the photo management ledger creation system may have multiple performance acquisition terminals that can communicate with the management server. In this case, each performance acquisition terminal has the functions described in each of the above embodiments. If one of the multiple performance acquisition terminals instructs the management server to edit photo management information or performance photo information, the operation of the other performance acquisition terminals is restricted so that they cannot instruct the management server to edit photo management information or performance photo information. Even in this case, the other performance acquisition terminals can view the photo management information and performance photo information on the management server.

[0124] In each of the above embodiments, the management server 20 generates performance photo information using the photo data P1 acquired by the performance acquisition terminal 10. However, the management server may also create photo data in which electronic blackboard information is embedded. The electronic blackboard information is generated, for example, based on construction plan information. The electronic blackboard information includes information such as measurement point location, information about the subject to be photographed, design information, work items, type of work, and work date and time.

[0125] Furthermore, the management server may generate performance photo information using photo data acquired by devices other than the performance acquisition terminal. In addition, the management server may generate performance photo information using photo data stored in the storage unit 40.

[0126] In each of the embodiments described above, the control unit 13 of the performance acquisition terminal 10 may display at least a portion of the photo management information D1 on the screen of the performance acquisition terminal 10 or the imaging device when the photo data acquisition unit 12 acquires photo data. An example of displaying at least a portion of the photo management information D1 on the screen is shown in Figure 10. This allows the operator to appropriately acquire photo data corresponding to the photo management information D1 when performing the operation to acquire photo data using the photo data acquisition unit 12. The photo management information D1 may or may not be embedded in the photo data acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12.

[0127] In each of the embodiments described above, the management items used for sorting the photo management information or actual photo information include at least one of the following: measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. However, the management items may also include items other than measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time.

[0128] In each of the embodiments described above, the management servers 20 and 120 sort the photo management information or actual photo information by measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time. However, the management server may sort the photo management information or the actual photo information prioritizing one of the measurement point location, work item, type of work, and work time, or it may sort the items by an order different from the order described above.

[0129] In each of the above embodiments, the management servers 20 and 120 sort the photo management information or the actual photo information according to the time when the photo data P1 was acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 12, if all the management items in the photo management information or the actual photo information are the same. However, the management server may sort the photo management information or the actual photo information by an item other than the time.

[0130] In the above embodiment 1, the control unit 30 of the management server 20 of the photo management ledger creation system 1 includes a construction plan information acquisition unit 31, a photo management information generation unit 32, a photo management information editing unit 33, and a performance photo information generation unit 34. However, the control unit of the management server does not necessarily have to include a performance photo information generation unit.

[0131] In Embodiment 1, the control unit 30 of the management server 20 generates and edits photo management information D1 and generates actual photo information D2. In Embodiment 2, the control unit 130 of the management server 120 generates and edits photo management information D1 and generates and edits actual photo information D2. The generation and editing of photo management information and the generation and editing of actual photo information may also be performed by the control unit of the management server through operation of the operation terminal.

[0132] Figure 11 is a functional block diagram showing the schematic configuration of a photo management ledger creation system 200, which has an operation terminal 210 that causes the control unit 30 of the management server 20 to generate and edit photo management information D1 and generate actual photo information D2.

[0133] The operating terminal 210 includes a terminal-side communication unit 211, an input operation unit 212, and a control unit 213. The operating terminal 210 may be, for example, a computer or other processing unit, or a mobile device such as a mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet. The operating terminal 210 may have any configuration as long as it is capable of inputting operations to the control unit 30 of the management server 20 to generate and edit photo management information D1 and generate actual photo information D2.

[0134] The terminal-side communication unit 211 has a configuration that enables it to send and receive data with the management server 20. The terminal-side communication unit 211 may be, for example, a wireless communication device having an antenna, or a wired communication device to which a communication cable can be connected. The terminal-side communication unit 211 outputs data received from the management server 20 to the control unit 213, and transmits data output from the control unit 213 to the management server 20.

[0135] The input operation unit 212 is configured to receive input for operations to the control unit 30 of the management server 20. The input operation unit 212 may be, for example, an input device such as a keyboard or mouse, a screen input device such as a touch panel on a display screen, or a voice input device. The input operation unit 212 may have any configuration as long as it is configured to receive input for operations to the control unit 30 of the management server 20.

[0136] The control unit 213 generates an operation signal to operate the control unit 30 of the management server 20 based on an input operation to the input operation unit 212, and also causes the terminal-side communication unit 211 to transmit the operation signal to the management server 20. The control unit 213 has an operation signal generation unit 214. The operation signal generation unit 214 generates the operation signal based on an input operation to the input operation unit 212 and outputs it to the terminal-side communication unit 211.

[0137] Furthermore, the performance acquisition terminal 10 may also have the functions of the operation terminal 210 as described above. This allows the control unit 30 of the management server 20 to generate and edit photo management information D1 and generate performance photo information D2 by operating the performance acquisition terminal 10.

[0138] Furthermore, although not specifically shown in the figures, the operating terminal 210 may be configured to capture photographic data. In this case, the control unit 213 of the operating terminal 210 can transmit the captured photographic data to the control unit 30 of the management server 20 via the terminal-side communication unit 211.

[0139] Furthermore, although not specifically shown in the figures, the operation terminal 210 may be used to edit and output the actual photograph information D2 by the control unit 130 in Embodiment 2.

[0140] The photo management ledger creation system 200 may have multiple operating terminals 210. In this case, if one of the operating terminals instructs the management server to edit photo management information or actual photo information, the operation of the other operating terminals is restricted so that they cannot instruct the management server to edit photo management information or actual photo information. Even in this case, the other operating terminals and the actual photo acquisition terminal can view the photo management information and actual photo information on the management server.

[0141] In the above embodiment 2, the control unit 130 of the management server 120 of the photo management ledger creation system 100 includes a construction plan information acquisition unit 31, a photo management information generation unit 32, a photo management information editing unit 33, a performance photo information generation unit 34, a performance photo information editing unit 135, and a performance photo information output unit 136. However, the control unit of the management server does not necessarily have to have a performance photo information output unit.

[0142] In the above embodiment 2, the performance photo information editing unit 135 can rearrange the multiple performance photo information D2 generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34 into any order. However, the performance photo information editing unit does not need to be able to rearrange the multiple performance photo information into any order. In this case, the performance photo information editing unit rearranges the multiple performance photo information according to predetermined rules (for example, arranging them according to management items).

[0143] In the above embodiment 2, the performance photo information editing unit 135 generates performance photo information D2 separately from the multiple performance photo information D2 generated by the performance photo information generation unit 34, and can replace some of the multiple performance photo information D2 with the generated performance photo information D2 or insert it into the multiple performance photo information D2 in a predetermined order. However, the performance photo information editing unit does not have to have such a function. [Industrial applicability]

[0144] This invention can be used in photo management ledger creation systems and the like for creating photo management ledgers related to pipeline construction work. [Explanation of Symbols]
