Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Various forms are utilized at work sites such as construction sites and maintenance sites. However, with the technologies described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is not known which position on the construction drawing a form is associated with, so it is impossible to identify which position on the construction drawing the input value of the form corresponds to the value of the inspection target at that position. For example, a form describing kitchen inspection would allow easy inspection if it is associated with the kitchen location in the construction drawing, but this association has to be performed manually by a person. As a result, the preparation of inspection result reports was inefficient. Accordingly, the present inventors focused on a mechanism for associating a desired form with a predetermined position in a construction drawing.

[0005] In view of these problems, the present invention aims to provide a construction drawing icon placement system, a construction drawing icon placement method, and a program that can improve the efficiency of creating inspection result reports by clearly indicating which location on the construction drawing the input value of the form corresponds to the value of the inspection target. [Means for solving the problem]

Equipped with 、 The input form icon generation unit generates another input form icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing the data of the other input form. The input form icon placement unit places the other input form icon at the location of the object to be inspected in the construction drawing that corresponds to the data of the other input form. We provide an icon placement system for construction drawings.

[0007] According to the present invention, by placing an icon that serves as a shortcut to the input form at a predetermined location on the construction drawing, it becomes clear which location on the construction drawing the input value of the form corresponds to the value to be inspected. As a result, it becomes possible to streamline the process of creating inspection result reports.

[0028] [Device configuration] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the icon placement system 1 for construction drawings. Based on Figure 2, the device configuration of the icon placement system 1 for construction drawings will be described. The construction drawing icon placement system 1 is a system for inspecting buildings and consists of at least an information terminal 10. Furthermore, the construction drawing icon placement system 1 may include, in addition to the information terminal 10, a computer with server functionality, an external system, and other terminals and devices, and the number, types, and functions of these can be designed as appropriate. Also, the information terminal 10 only needs to be connected to the computer, external system, and other terminals and devices via a network such as a public telephone network, enabling data communication.

[0029] The information terminal 10 is the aforementioned terminal device managed by the inspector 2 who inspects the building. The information terminal 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), etc., as a terminal control unit, and a communication unit that includes devices for communicating with other terminals and devices. The information terminal 10 includes a data storage unit, such as a hard disk, semiconductor memory, recording medium, or memory card, as its storage unit. The information terminal 10 includes, as a processing unit, various devices that perform tasks such as receiving predetermined inputs, inputting and outputting various data, and executing various processes; an input form display unit that displays an input form for inputting a report image of a building; a report image display unit that displays a report image of a building; a drawing reception unit that accepts the selection of a construction drawing corresponding to a building; a drawing display unit that displays the accepted construction drawing; a designation reception unit that accepts the designation of a predetermined position within the displayed construction drawing; an input form icon generation unit that generates an input form icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing the data in the input form; a report image icon generation unit that generates a report image icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing the data in the report image; an input form icon placement unit that places the input form icon in a predetermined position; and a report image icon placement unit that places the report image icon in a predetermined position.

[0030] In the information terminal 10, the terminal control unit loads a predetermined program and, in cooperation with the processing unit, implements an input form display module, a data reception module, a reflection module, a report image display module, a drawing reception module, a drawing display module, a specification reception module, an input form icon generation module, an input form icon placement module, an input form icon placement drawing display module, a report image icon generation module, a report image icon placement module, a report image icon placement drawing display module, an input form icon reception module, a report image icon reception module, an input form switching reception module, an input form switching module, a post-input form switching display module, a report image switching reception module, a report image switching module, a post-input image switching display module, an input form data list generation module, an input form data list display module, a report image data list generation module, a report image data list display module, and a transition module.

[0031] The following describes each process performed by the construction drawing icon placement system 1, along with the processes performed by the modules mentioned above. In this specification, each module may perform its processing as a function of its own, or it may perform it through a predetermined application.

[0032] [Input form display process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 3, the input form display process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. This figure is a flowchart of the input form display process performed by the information terminal 10. The input form display process is a detailed description of the input form display process (step S1A) which displays an input form for inputting the building report image. The input form display process is a process relating to the first embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0033] The input form display module displays an input form for inputting the building's report image (step S10). In step S10, the report image is synonymous with the report itself, regardless of whether it is a data format that can be directly entered or an image format that cannot be directly entered. The input form consists of one or more cells into which data can be entered, and data input from inspector 2 is accepted for each cell as appropriate. Each cell in the input form is associated with a cell, column, area, etc., in the report image, and the data received in the input form is reflected in the corresponding cell, column, area, etc., in the report image. The input form display module displays the input form via a predetermined UI. Along with the input form, the input form display module also displays a report image (see Figure 4). The report image is based on a pre-configured template. The report image template includes cells, fields, and areas for inputting data related to the inspection subject, such as the name of inspector 2, the name of the construction site, the names of the witnesses and measurers, the measurement date, the measurement location, the measuring equipment, and the measurement results.

[0034] Referring to Figure 4, the input form displayed by the input form display module will be explained. This figure schematically shows the input form displayed by the input form display module. In this figure, the UI20 used when the input form display module displays the input form is shown. The input form display module displays a report image 21 and an input form 22 for entering data into this report image in UI20. Each cell in input form 22 corresponds to a pre-configured cell, column, area, etc., in the report image. For example, cell 23 in input form 22, which contains the project name, corresponds to column 24 in report image 21. The data entered into each cell of input form 22 (in Figure 4, "Sample Construction Site" is entered in cell 23) is reflected in the corresponding cells, columns, areas, etc., in report image 21 (in Figure 4, "Sample Construction Site" is reflected in column 24).

[0035] Returning to Figure 3, we will continue explaining the process of displaying the input form. The data reception module accepts data entered into the input form (step S11). The data reception module receives input from inspector 2, such as tapping on cells in the input form that inspector 2 desires. The data reception module receives data input from inspector 2 to the received cells via an input device such as a virtual keyboard. The data reception module may accept direct input of arbitrary text from inspector 2, or it may accept input by selecting from one or more pre-prepared options, or by any other method.

[0036] The reflection module reflects the received data into the report image (step S12). The reflection module reflects the data received from inspector 2 into the cells, fields, areas, etc. of the report image that are associated with the cell where the data was received, thereby reflecting the received data into the report image.

[0037] The input form display module displays both the data received in the input form and a report image that reflects this data.

[0038] The above describes the process for displaying the input form.

[0039] [Document image display processing executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 5, the report image display process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. The same figure is a flowchart of the report image display process performed by the information terminal 10. The report image display process is a detailed description of the report image display process (step S1B) that displays a report image of a building. The report image display processing is a process relating to the second embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0040] The report image display module displays the report image of the building (step S20). The report image in step S20 is a report containing all report pages related to the construction, and is in a data format that allows direct input. The report image display module displays the report image via a predetermined UI (see Figure 6). The report image is based on a pre-configured template. The report image template includes cells, fields, and areas for inputting data related to the inspection subject, such as the name of inspector 2, the name of the construction site, the names of the witnesses and measurers, the measurement date, the measurement location, the measuring equipment, and the measurement results.

[0041] Referring to Figure 6, the report image displayed by the report image display module will be explained. This figure schematically shows the report image displayed by the report image display module. In this figure, the UI30 used when the report image display module displays the report image is shown. The report image display module displays the report image 31 in UI30. The data entered into each cell, column, area, etc. of the report image 31 (in Figure 6, "Sample Construction Site" is entered in column 32) is reflected directly in the report image 31 (in Figure 6, "Sample Construction Site" is reflected in column 32).

[0042] Returning to Figure 5, we will continue explaining the process of displaying the report image. The data reception module accepts data input for the report image (step S21). The data reception module receives input from inspector 2, such as tapping on cells, fields, or areas of the form image as desired by inspector 2. The data reception module receives the data input from inspector 2 to the received cells, fields, or areas via an input device such as a virtual keyboard. The data reception module may accept direct input of arbitrary text from inspector 2, or it may accept selection input from one or more pre-prepared options, or it may use any other method.

[0043] The reflection module reflects the received data into the report image (step S22). The reflection module reflects the data received from inspector 2 into the corresponding cells, fields, areas, etc., in the report image, thereby reflecting the received data into the report image.

[0044] The report image display module displays a report image that reflects the received data.

[0045] The above describes the process for displaying the report image.

[0046] [Location specification process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 7, the location specification process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. This figure is a flowchart of the location specification process performed by the information terminal 10. The location specification process consists of a drawing reception process (step S2) which accepts the selection of a construction drawing corresponding to a building, a drawing display process (step S3) which displays the accepted construction drawing, and a specification reception process (step S4) which accepts the specification of a predetermined location within the displayed construction drawing. The position specification process is a process common to both the first and second embodiments of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0047] The drawing reception module accepts the selection of construction drawings corresponding to the building (step S30). The drawing reception module displays a list of construction drawings it has stored via a predetermined UI. This list of construction drawings may consist of strings such as construction drawing identifiers or management numbers, or it may consist of images such as reduced-size versions or thumbnails of the construction drawings. The drawing reception module accepts input from inspector 2, allowing them to select the desired construction drawing from the displayed list and then accepts the selection of the construction drawing corresponding to the building. Inspector 2 selects the construction drawing corresponding to the building by tapping or otherwise selecting the desired construction drawing.

[0048] The drawing display module displays the received construction drawings (step S31). The drawing display module displays the received construction drawings via a predetermined UI.

[0049] The designated reception module accepts the designation of a predetermined location within the displayed construction drawing (step S32). The designated reception module receives input from inspector 2 regarding the location they wish to specify on the displayed construction drawing, and accepts the specification of a predetermined location within the displayed construction drawing (see Figure 8). Inspector 2 specifies the predetermined location within the construction drawing by tapping or other means.

[0050] Referring to Figure 8, the state in which the designation reception module receives a designation for a predetermined location in the construction drawing will be explained. This figure schematically shows the state in which the designation reception module has received a designation for a predetermined location in the construction drawing. In this figure, the construction drawing 40 is displayed. The designated input module receives input, such as taps, from inspector 2 for any point within the construction drawing 40. In the figure, the designated input module is shown having received input from inspector 2 for a predetermined location 41 within the construction drawing 40. Inspector 2 taps or otherwise selects this predetermined location 41 within the construction drawing.

[0051] The above describes the specified processing.

[0052] [Input form icon placement process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 9, the input form icon placement process performed by the information terminal 10 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the input form icon placement process performed by the information terminal 10. The input form icon placement process details the input form icon generation process (step S5A), which generates input form icons that serve as shortcuts for viewing and editing the data in the input form, and the input form icon placement process (step S6A), which places the input form icons in predetermined positions. The input form icon placement process is a process relating to the first embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0053] The input form icon generation module generates an input form icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing the data in the input form (step S40). An input form icon is an icon associated with an input form. The input form to which the input form icon is associated contains the data received through the processing in step S11. The input form icon generation module generates an input form icon, which is displayed by the processing in step S10 and serves as a shortcut icon for viewing and editing the data of the input form that has been received by the processing in step S11. The input form icon generation module generates input form icons based on pre-configured icons or icons set by inspector 2. The method by which the input form icon generation module generates input form icons is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate.

[0054] The input form icon placement module places the input form icons in their designated positions (step S41). The input form icon placement module places the generated input form icons at the predetermined locations specified in step S32 within the construction drawing displayed by step S31 (see Figure 10). The input form icon placement module may place the input form icons on top of the specified locations, or it may place the input form icons in the vicinity of the specified locations.

[0055] Referring to Figure 10, the state in which the input form icon placement module places the input form icons in their predetermined positions will be explained. This figure schematically shows the state in which the input form icon placement module places the input form icons in their predetermined positions within the construction drawing. In this figure, the construction drawing 50 is shown. The input form icon placement module places the input form icon 51 generated in step S40 at the location corresponding to the predetermined location 41 specified in step S32 within the construction drawing 40 displayed in step S31. In the figure, the generated input form icon 51 is placed at the location corresponding to the predetermined location 41 within the construction drawing 50.

[0056] Returning to Figure 9, we will continue explaining the process of arranging the input form icons. The input form icon placement drawing display module displays a construction drawing on which input form icons are placed (step S42). The input form icon layout drawing display module displays the construction drawing 50 shown in Figure 10 via a predetermined UI.

[0057] The above describes the process for arranging the input form icons.

[0058] [Form image icon placement process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 11, the report image icon placement process performed by the information terminal 10 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the report image icon placement process performed by the information terminal 10. The report image icon placement process details the report image icon generation process (step S5B), which generates a report image icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing the data of the report image, and the report image placement process (step S6B), which places the report image icon in a predetermined position. The form image icon placement process is a process relating to a second embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0059] The report image icon generation module generates a report image icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing the data in the report image (step S50). A report image icon is an icon associated with a report image. The report image to which the report image icon is associated contains the data received through the processing in step S21. The report image icon generation module generates a report image icon, which is displayed by the processing in step S20 and serves as a shortcut icon for viewing and editing the data of the report image that was input by the processing in step S21. The report image icon generation module generates report image icons based on pre-configured icons or icons set by inspector 2. The method by which the report image icon generation module generates report image icons is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate.

[0060] The report image icon placement module places the report image icon in the designated location (step S51). The report image icon placement module places the generated report image icon at a predetermined location specified in step S32 within the construction drawing displayed by step S31 (see Figure 12). The report image icon placement module may place the report image icon on top of the specified location, or it may place the report image icon in the vicinity of the specified location. Note that the form image icon may be the same as the input form icon, or it may be a different icon.

[0061] Referring to Figure 12, the state in which the form image icon placement module has placed the form image icon in a predetermined position will be explained. This figure schematically shows the state in which the form image icon placement module has placed the form image icon in a predetermined position within the construction drawing. In this figure, the construction drawing 60 is shown. The report image icon placement module places the report image icon 61 generated in step S50 at the location corresponding to the predetermined location 41 specified in step S32 within the construction drawing 40 displayed in step S31. In the figure, the generated report image icon 61 is placed at the location corresponding to the predetermined location 41 within the construction drawing 60.

[0062] Returning to Figure 11, we will continue explaining the process of placing the document image icon. The document image icon placement drawing display module displays a construction drawing on which document image icons are placed (step S52). The document image icon arrangement drawing display module displays the construction drawing 60 shown in Figure 12 via a predetermined UI.

[0063] The above describes the process for placing the image icon on the form.

[0064] [Input form display process executed by information terminal 10] The input form display process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained based on Figure 13. This figure is a flowchart showing the input form display process performed by the information terminal 10. The input form display process is a process relating to the first embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0065] The input form icon receiving module accepts input for the placed input form icon (step S60). The input form icon reception module receives input from inspector 2, such as tapping on an input form icon, on the construction drawing on which the input form icon displayed by the process in step S42 is placed. Inspector 2 taps an input form icon placed on the displayed construction drawing and makes inputs to display the input form for the building to be inspected at the desired location.

[0066] The input form display module displays the input form corresponding to the received input form icon (step S61). The input form display module displays the input form that corresponds to the shortcut of the received input form icon via a predetermined UI. At this time, the input form display module may display only the input form associated with the received input form icon, or it may also display the form image associated with this input form.

[0067] After displaying the input form, the information terminal 10 may re-execute the processes in steps S11 and S12 on the displayed input form to reflect the newly received data in the report image, or it may perform some other processing. Alternatively, the information terminal 10 may simply display the input form.

[0068] The above describes the process for displaying the input form.

[0069] [Document image display processing executed by information terminal 10] The report image display process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained based on Figure 14. This figure is a flowchart showing the report image display process performed by the information terminal 10. The report image display processing is a process relating to the second embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0070] The form image icon receiving module accepts input for the placed form image icons (step S70). The report image icon receiving module receives input from inspector 2, such as tapping on the report image icon on the construction drawing where the report image icon to be displayed by the processing in step S52 is placed. Inspector 2 taps the report image icon placed on the displayed construction drawing and makes input to display the report image of the building to be inspected at the desired location.

[0071] The report image display module displays the report image corresponding to the received report image icon (step S71). The report image display module displays the report image that corresponds to the shortcut destination of the received report image icon via a predetermined UI.

[0072] After displaying the report image, the information terminal 10 may re-execute the processes in steps S21 and S22 on the displayed report image to reflect the newly received data in the report image, or it may perform some other processing. Alternatively, the information terminal 10 may simply display the report image.

[0073] The above describes the process for displaying the report image.

[0074] [Input form switching process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 15, the input form switching process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. This figure is a flowchart showing the input form switching process performed by the information terminal 10. The input form switching process is a process relating to the first embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0075] The input form switching reception module accepts input to switch between displaying a construction drawing on which input form icons are placed and a report image (step S80). The input form switching reception module receives input for switching the display between the construction drawing displayed in step S42 or at any time, and the report image displayed in step S10 or at any time. The input form switching reception module receives input from inspector 2, for example, such as tapping a predetermined icon to switch the display. Inspector 2 inputs a switch from the construction drawing to the report image, or from the report image to the construction drawing. The input form switching reception module accepts input to switch the display to the report image that serves as the shortcut destination for the input form icon placed on the construction drawing, when the construction drawing is currently displayed. Furthermore, when the report image is currently displayed, the input form switching reception module accepts input to switch the display to the construction drawing on which the input form icon that uses the report image as a shortcut destination is placed. Furthermore, if multiple input form icons are placed on a single construction drawing, the input form switching reception module may accept input for one of these input form icons and switch the display to the report image that serves as the shortcut destination for that input form icon. Alternatively, the input form switching reception module may accept input to switch the display to one or more combinations of the report images that serve as shortcut destinations for each of the multiple input form icons.

[0076] The input form switching module switches the display between the construction drawing on which the input form icons are placed and the form image (step S81). The input form switching module, based on the received input, switches the display to a report image if a construction drawing with input form icons is currently displayed, and switches the display back to a construction drawing with input form icons if a report image is currently displayed.

[0077] The module displayed after the input form switch displays the construction drawing or report image after the switch (step S82). The input form switching display module, when switching its display to a report image, displays the report image via a predetermined UI, and when switching its display to a construction drawing on which input form icons are placed, displays the construction drawing on which input form icons are placed via a predetermined UI.

[0078] The above describes the input form switching process.

[0079] [Document image switching process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 16, the document image switching process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. This figure is a flowchart showing the document image switching process performed by the information terminal 10. The form image switching process is a process relating to the second embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0080] The document image switching reception module accepts input for switching the display between a construction drawing on which document image icons are placed and the document image itself (step S90). The report image switching reception module receives input for switching the display between the construction drawing displayed in step S52 or at any arbitrary timing, and the report image displayed in step S20 or at any arbitrary timing. The report image switching reception module receives input from inspector 2, for example, such as tapping a predetermined icon to switch the display. Inspector 2 inputs a switch from displaying the construction drawing to displaying the report image, or from displaying the report image to displaying the construction drawing. The report image switching reception module accepts input to switch the display to the report image that serves as the shortcut destination for the report image icon placed on the construction drawing, when the construction drawing is currently being displayed. Furthermore, when a report image is currently being displayed, the report image switching reception module accepts input to switch the display to the construction drawing on which the report image icon that serves as the shortcut destination for the current report image is placed. Furthermore, if multiple report image icons are placed on a single construction drawing, the report image switching reception module may accept input for one of these multiple report image icons and switch the display to the report image that serves as the shortcut destination for that single report image icon. Alternatively, the report image switching reception module may accept input to switch the display to one or more combinations of the report images that serve as shortcut destinations for each of the multiple report image icons.

[0081] The report image switching module switches the display between the construction drawing on which the report image icon is placed and the actual report image (step S91). The report image switching module, based on the received input, switches the display to the report image if a construction drawing with a report image icon is currently displayed, and switches the display back to the construction drawing with the report image icon if a report image is currently displayed.

[0082] The post-request form image display module displays the construction drawing or form image after the switch (step S92). The post-return-to-report-image-display module displays the report image via a predetermined UI when switching its display to the report image, and displays the construction drawing on which the report image icon is placed via a predetermined UI when switching its display to the construction drawing on which the report image icon is placed.

[0083] The above describes the document image switching process.

[0084] [Input form data list display process executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 17, the process of displaying the list of input form data executed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. This figure is a flowchart of the process of displaying the list of input form data executed by the information terminal 10. The input form data list display process is a process relating to the first embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0085] The input form data list generation module generates a list of data for the input form corresponding to the placed input form icon (step S100). The list of data from the input form summarizes the data entered in each field of the input form, as well as the inspection progress, which indicates the progress of the inspection. This list may also be a compilation of the data entered in each field, linked to the name of the form image and the inspection progress. The input form data list generation module generates a list of data received in the input form corresponding to the input form icon placed on the construction drawing during the processing of step S11, or at any arbitrary timing. Furthermore, the input form data list generation module generates a list of data based on the inspection progress received from inspector 2 at any time, as well as data generated based on the inspection progress based on the data received in the input form. The input form data list generation module may generate a list combining the data received in the input form and the inspection progress, or it may generate a list of only one of them.

[0086] The input form data list display module displays the generated list (step S101). The input form data list display module displays the generated list via a predetermined UI.

[0087] The above describes the process for displaying the list of input form data.

[0088] [Processing to display a list of document image data executed by information terminal 10] Based on Figure 18, the process of displaying a list of document image data executed by the information terminal 10 will be explained. The same figure is a flowchart of the process of displaying a list of document image data executed by the information terminal 10. The process for displaying a list of document image data is a process relating to the second embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1.

[0089] The report image data list generation module generates a list of report image data corresponding to the placed report image icons (step S110). The list of data for the report image summarizes the data entered in each field of the report image, as well as the inspection progress, which indicates the progress of the inspection. This list may also be a compilation of the data entered in each field, linked to the name of the report image and the inspection progress. The report image data list generation module generates a list of received data for the report image corresponding to the report image icon placed on the construction drawing during the processing of step S21, or at any arbitrary timing. Furthermore, the report image data list generation module generates a list of data based on the inspection progress input received from inspector 2 at any time, as well as data generated based on the inspection progress based on the data received in the report image. The report image data list generation module may generate a list combining the data received in the report image and the inspection progress, or it may generate a list of only one of them.

[0090] The report image data list display module displays the generated list (step S111). The report image data list display module displays the generated list via a predetermined UI.

[0091] The above describes the process for displaying a list of report image data.

[0092] [Transition process executed by information terminal 10] The transition process performed by the information terminal 10 will be explained based on Figure 19. This figure is a flowchart showing the transition process performed by the information terminal 10. The transition process is a process relating to the first embodiment of the construction drawing icon placement system 1. Furthermore, the transition process is a process for when there is only one cell in the input form, and a process for when there are multiple input forms for a single report image. In other words, it is a process for when there is an input form for each cell, column, or area of ​​a single report image.

[0093] The transition module transitions to another input form after placing the input form icon (step S120). The transition module executes the process when data input is accepted into each input form for a given report image. Furthermore, in the process of step S41, if the transition module receives a predetermined input when placing an input form icon on the construction drawing, it executes that process. For example, if the transition module receives input for a predetermined icon, it executes that process. In step S41, after the input form icon is placed on the construction drawing, the transition module transitions to a different input form (the second input form) in the report image corresponding to the placed input form icon, from the first input form that corresponds to the placed input form icon. The second input form exists in the report image that reflects the data entered into the first input form that corresponds to the placed input form icon. Furthermore, after the input form icon corresponding to the first input form is placed on the construction drawing, the system may transition to a continuous placement mode in which the input form icons corresponding to the second and subsequent input forms are placed in succession. In this continuous placement mode, the second and subsequent input form icons can be placed continuously without returning to the input form screen. This eliminates the need to return to the input form screen, thereby increasing placement efficiency.

[0094] The input form icon generation module generates an input form icon that serves as a shortcut for viewing and editing data in another input form (step S121). The process in step S121 is the process of executing the process in step S40 on the second input form.

[0095] The input form icon placement module places another input form icon at the location of the object to be inspected in the construction drawing, corresponding to the data of another input form (step S122). The input form icon placement module places the generated second input form at the location of the inspection target in the construction drawing that corresponds to the data of the second input form, which has been set in advance or specified in advance by inspector 2. The input form icon placement module may place the second input form icon superimposed on this inspection target location, or it may place the second input form icon in the vicinity of this inspection target location.

[0096] The information terminal 10 repeats the processing in steps S120 to S122 for all input forms present in a single report image, and places each input form icon, which is a shortcut destination for each input form, at the location of the inspection target in the construction drawing.

[0097] The input form icon placement drawing display module displays a construction drawing with other input form icons placed on it (step S123). The input form icon placement drawing display module displays a construction drawing with a second input form icon placed on it via a predetermined UI.

[0098] The above describes the transition process.

[0099] In either the first or second embodiment, the information terminal 10 constituting the construction drawing icon placement system 1 can be configured to output a form image to a printing device connected to the information terminal 10 itself for data communication and print it, or it can be configured to output it in a predetermined data format (document data, spreadsheet data, presentation data, PDF (Portable Document Format) data, CSV (comma separated values) data, etc.).

[0100] This section describes the case where the information terminal 10 outputs a form image to a printing device. The output module sends a report image that reflects the data entered in the input form, along with a command to print this report image, and a report image that reflects the data entered in the report image, along with a command to print this report image, to the printing device. The printing device receives these form images and commands, and prints the form images according to the commands. The output module outputs the document image to the printing device by causing the printing device to print the document image.

[0101] This section describes the case where the information terminal 10 outputs a report image in a predetermined data format. The output module converts a report image reflecting the data entered in the input form, or a report image reflecting the data entered in the report image, into a pre-configured data format or a data format received from inspector 2. The conversion method is not particularly limited; any known data conversion method may be used. The output module stores and displays the converted report image, and outputs the report image in a predetermined data format.

[0102] Although the processes described above are listed as separate processes, the information terminal 10 can also be configured to execute some or all of the above processes in combination. Furthermore, the information terminal 10 can be configured to execute each process at times other than those described. Furthermore, although the above-mentioned processes are described as processes executed by the information terminal 10, it is also possible to configure them so that some or all of them are executed by a computer with server functionality that is connected to the information terminal 10 in a data communication manner, or by a predetermined application installed on this computer.
