Description

Pipeline construction business support system, pipeline construction business support server, pipeline construction business support system control method, and pipeline construction business support system control program

[0001] The present invention relates to a pipeline construction business support system, a pipeline construction business support server, a pipeline construction business support system control method, and a pipeline construction business support system control program that support construction and maintenance of pipelines including, for example, water pipes.

[0002] Generally, pipeline construction projects involve multiple processes such as surveys, planning and design, construction work, and maintenance and management. Since each process requires various processes, it has been proposed to link these processes. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a sewerage construction design support system that links a series of data processing processes, from data input to sewerage planning and design, construction work, and post-construction management, to improve work efficiency and reduce labor.

[0003] In the sewerage construction design support system, the numerical values, calculation conditions, and drawing and tabulation conditions used in sewerage construction design are preset, and sewerage plan data that shows the sewerage construction route in three dimensions is set based on current status map data and existing buried object location data. The system then verifies that the set flow rate calculated in accordance with the numerical values ​​and calculation conditions based on the set sewerage plan data is within an allowable range, and creates plan drawings and plan calculation documents based on the verified sewerage plan data in accordance with the drawing and tabulation conditions. Furthermore, if the set flow rate is not within the allowable range, the sewerage construction design support system instructs the sewerage plan data to be reset. After construction is completed, the plan drawings are reconfigured to sewerage facility data that can be linked to a GIS system.

[0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-325310

[0005] The sewerage construction design support system described in Patent Document 1 above provides support for the creation of planning drawings and various documents, thereby enabling the efficient creation of planning drawings and various documents.

[0006] In construction projects such as pipeline construction projects, the specifications of the computing terminals used for planning, design, maintenance, etc. vary from project to project. For example, the performance of the computing terminals may differ, and the programs running on the computing terminals may also differ. Furthermore, because multiple contractors are contracted to perform each step of a construction project, various data for each step is created and managed individually. This makes the various calculation processes for each step complicated.

[0007] In contrast to this, in recent construction projects, there is a demand to efficiently perform calculation processing on the calculation terminals for various tasks including creating plan drawings and documents, regardless of the differences in specifications of the calculation terminals or the construction companies as described above, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire construction project.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to realize a pipeline construction project support system that can efficiently perform calculation processing on a calculation terminal in a pipeline construction project, thereby improving the efficiency of work in each process.

[0009] A pipeline construction project support system according to one embodiment of the present invention supports pipeline construction projects. The pipeline construction project support system includes a support server and a computing terminal that is assigned ID information, is capable of performing computations, and is capable of communicating with the support server. The support server includes a memory unit that stores attribute data related to the pipeline construction project in association with the ID information of the computing terminal, a data processing unit that reads the attribute data associated with the ID information from the memory unit when the ID information is received from the computing terminal, and a data output unit that outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit to the computing terminal (first configuration).

[0010] With the above-described configuration, the support server can centrally manage attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business. Therefore, when the calculation processing of each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business is performed by the calculation terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0011] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each process. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each process in pipeline construction projects. Moreover, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0012] The pipeline construction business includes pipeline construction, such as laying or updating pipelines, and pipeline maintenance and management, and the ID information is data that can identify at least one of the business entity, the pipeline construction contractor, and the pipeline construction business.

[0013] In the first configuration, the support server further includes a program control unit that generates a control signal for controlling execution of a computing program by the computing terminal in response to a request from the computing terminal, and the data output unit outputs the attribute data and the control signal read by the data processing unit to the computing terminal (second configuration).

[0014] As a result, the support server can control the execution of the computing program by the computing terminal, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal, i.e., attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline construction company, and the pipeline construction business, to the computing terminal. Therefore, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used to efficiently process the computing program on the computing terminal.

[0015] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently in each process, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work in each process in pipeline construction projects.

[0016] In the first configuration, the support server further includes a map display data generating unit that generates map display data for displaying a map on the computing terminal based on mapping data, and the data output unit combines the map display data generated by the map display data generating unit with the attribute data read by the data processing unit and outputs the combined data to the computing terminal (third configuration).

[0017] This allows the computing terminal to combine the map data with the attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal and output the combined map data to the computing terminal when displaying the map data on the computing terminal. This allows the computing terminal to perform computational processing by combining the map display data and the attribute data. This allows the computing terminal to perform computational processing efficiently.

[0018] In the third configuration, the water pipe construction project support system further includes a pipeline condition detection unit that acquires the pipeline condition. The support server further includes an analysis processing unit that performs analysis on the pipeline based on the pipeline condition acquired by the pipeline condition detection unit. The data output unit combines the map display data generated by the map display data generation unit with the attribute data read by the data processing unit and the analysis results by the analysis processing unit, and outputs the combined map display data to the computing terminal (fourth configuration).

[0019] This allows the support server to combine the analysis results obtained based on the acquired pipeline status with the map display data along with attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal and output them to the computing terminal.

[0020] Therefore, in maintenance and management, the computing terminal can perform computational processing by combining the map display data, the attribute data, and the analysis results, thereby enabling the computing terminal to perform computational processing efficiently.

[0021] In the second configuration, the support server stores in the memory unit attribute data used in the calculation program when the calculation program is executed by the calculation terminal, linked to the ID information of the calculation terminal (fifth configuration).

[0022] This allows the support server to accumulate a large amount of attribute data in response to the execution of the calculation program by the calculation terminal, thereby improving calculation accuracy and enabling more efficient calculation processing.

[0023] In the first configuration, the attribute data includes data other than data relating to characteristics of the pipeline (sixth configuration).

[0024] This allows the support server to output data other than data related to pipeline characteristics to the processing terminal according to the ID information of the processing terminal, thereby enabling accurate processing in pipeline construction projects using information other than pipeline characteristics.

[0025] The data relating to the characteristics of the pipeline means data relating to the specifications or performance of the pipeline, such as data on the materials and dimensions of the pipes that make up the pipeline, hydraulic data, and the like.

[0026] In any one of the first to sixth configurations, the attribute data includes entity-specific data containing information regarding the water utility's identification ID and master data linked to the entity-specific data (seventh configuration).

[0027] This allows the utility-specific data, including information about the water utility's identification ID, to be linked to the master data and managed as attribute data.

[0028] In the sixth configuration, the attribute data includes at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data (eighth configuration).

[0029] This allows the support server to output at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data to the computing terminal in accordance with the ID information of the computing terminal, thereby enabling accurate computation in pipeline construction work using at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data.

[0030] In the second configuration, the calculation program creates at least one of a pipeline design, a construction plan, and a submission document (ninth configuration).

[0031] By operating the computing terminal, the user can create at least one of the pipeline design, construction plan, and submission documents using a computing program whose execution is controlled by the support server, thereby enabling efficient pipeline construction work.

[0032] In the second configuration, the calculation program creates an update plan for pipeline maintenance and management (tenth configuration).

[0033] By operating the computing terminal, a computing program whose execution is controlled by the support server can be used to create a renewal plan for the maintenance and management of pipelines, thereby enabling pipeline construction work to be carried out efficiently.

[0034] A pipeline construction project support server according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention is a server for supporting pipeline construction projects, and includes: a communication unit capable of communicating with a processing terminal to which ID information is assigned; a memory unit that stores attribute data related to the pipeline construction project in association with the ID information of the processing terminal; a data processing unit that reads the attribute data associated with the ID information from the memory unit when the ID information is received from the processing terminal; and a data output unit that outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit to the processing terminal (eleventh configuration).

[0035] This allows the support server to centrally manage attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business. Therefore, when arithmetic processing of each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business is performed by a computing terminal or the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0036] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each process. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each process in pipeline construction projects. Moreover, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0037] In the eleventh configuration, the pipeline construction project support server further includes a program control unit that generates a control signal for controlling execution of a calculation program by the calculation terminal in response to a request from the calculation terminal, and the data output unit outputs the attribute data and the control signal read by the data processing unit to the calculation terminal (twelfth configuration).

[0038] As a result, the support server can control the execution of the computing program by the computing terminal, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal, i.e., attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline construction company, and the pipeline construction business, to the computing terminal. Therefore, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used to efficiently process the computing program on the computing terminal.

[0039] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently in each process, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work in each process in pipeline construction projects.

[0040] In the eleventh configuration, the pipeline construction project support server further includes a map display data generating unit that generates map display data for displaying a map on the computing terminal based on mapping data, and the data output unit combines the map display data generated by the map display data generating unit with the attribute data read by the data processing unit and outputs the combined map display data to the computing terminal (thirteenth configuration).

[0041] This allows the attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal to be output to the computing terminal when displaying a map during maintenance, etc. Therefore, during maintenance, etc., the computing terminal can perform calculations by combining the map display data and the attribute data, thereby enabling the computing terminal to perform calculations efficiently.

[0042] A method for controlling a pipeline construction project support system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a method for controlling a pipeline construction project support system having a computing terminal and a support server, the system supporting construction projects related to pipelines. The method includes an ID information sending step in which the computing terminal sends ID information assigned to the computing terminal to the support server, an attribute data reading step in which the support server reads attribute data related to the pipeline construction project that is associated with the ID information and stored in a memory unit of the support server in accordance with the received ID information, and an attribute data sending step in which the support server sends the attribute data to the computing terminal (first method).

[0043] The above-described method allows the support server to centrally manage attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business. Therefore, when the calculation processing of each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business is performed by the calculation terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0044] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each process. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each process in pipeline construction projects. Moreover, the above-mentioned method can prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0045] In the first method, the pipeline construction project support system control method further includes a program control step in which the support server generates a control signal for controlling execution of a computing program by the computing terminal in response to a request from the computing terminal. In the ID information transmission step, the computing terminal transmits a request signal requesting execution of the computing program together with the ID information to the support server. In the attribute data transmission step, the support server transmits the attribute data read in the attribute data reading step and the control signal generated in the program control step to the computing terminal (second method).

[0046] As a result, the support server can control the execution of the computing program by the computing terminal, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal, i.e., attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline construction company, and the pipeline construction business, to the computing terminal. Therefore, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used to efficiently process the computing program on the computing terminal.

[0047] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently in each process, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work in each process in pipeline construction projects.

[0048] In the first method, the pipeline construction project support system control method further includes a map display data generating step in which the support server generates map display data for displaying a map on the processing terminal based on the mapping data. In the attribute data transmitting step, the support server combines the attribute data read in the attribute data reading step with the map display data generated in the map display data generating step and transmits the combined data to the processing terminal (third method).

[0049] This allows the attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal to be output to the computing terminal when the computing terminal displays a map. Therefore, the computing terminal can perform computational processing by combining the map display data and the attribute data. Therefore, the computing terminal can perform computational processing efficiently.

[0050] A pipeline construction project support system control program according to one embodiment of the present invention is a program for controlling a pipeline construction project support system having a computing terminal and a support server, and supporting construction projects related to pipelines. The pipeline construction project support system control program causes the support server to execute a receiving process to receive ID information assigned to the computing terminal from the computing terminal, execute an attribute data reading process to read attribute data related to the pipeline construction project that is associated with the ID information and stored in a memory unit of the support server in accordance with the received ID information, and execute an attribute data sending process to send the attribute data to the computing terminal (first program).

[0051] With the above-described configuration, the support server can centrally manage attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business. Therefore, when the calculation processing of each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline contractor, and the pipeline construction business is performed by the calculation terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used.

[0052] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each process. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each process in pipeline construction projects. Moreover, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0053] In the first program, the program for controlling the pipeline construction project support system further causes the support server to execute a program control process that generates a control signal for controlling the execution of the calculation program by the calculation terminal in response to a request from the calculation terminal, and in the receiving process, causes the support server to receive a request signal requesting the execution of the calculation program that is sent from the calculation terminal together with the ID information, and in the attribute data sending process, causes the support server to send the attribute data read by the attribute data reading process and the control signal generated by the program control process to the calculation terminal (second program).

[0054] As a result, the support server can control the execution of the computing program by the computing terminal, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal, i.e., attribute data corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline construction company, and the pipeline construction business, to the computing terminal. Therefore, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used to efficiently process the computing program on the computing terminal.

[0055] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently in each process, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work in each process in pipeline construction projects.

[0056] In the first program, the water pipe construction business support system control program further causes the support server to execute a map display data generation process that generates map display data for displaying a map on the computing terminal based on mapping data, and in the attribute data transmission process, causes the support server to combine the attribute data read by the attribute data reading process with the map display data generated by the map display data generation process and transmit the combined data to the computing terminal (third program).

[0057] This allows the attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal to be output to the computing terminal when the computing terminal displays a map. Therefore, the computing terminal can perform computational processing by combining the map display data and the attribute data. Therefore, the computing terminal can perform computational processing efficiently.

[0058] A pipeline construction project support system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a support server and a computing terminal that is assigned ID information, is capable of computation, and is capable of communicating with the support server. The support server includes a memory unit that stores attribute data related to the pipeline construction project in association with the ID information of the computing terminal, a data processing unit that reads the attribute data associated with the ID information from the memory unit when the ID information is received from the computing terminal, and a data output unit that outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit to the computing terminal.

[0059] As a result, when the calculation processing for each process corresponding to at least one of the business entity, the pipeline construction company, and the pipeline construction project is performed by the calculation terminal and the support server, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server can be used. Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each process. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each process in the pipeline construction project.

[0061] Each embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description of the same parts will not be repeated. Note that the dimensions of the components in each drawing do not faithfully represent the actual dimensions of the components and the dimensional ratios of the components.

[0062] [Embodiment 1] (Water Pipe Work Business Support System) Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a water pipe work business support system 1 (pipe work business support system) according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. The water pipe work business support system 1 efficiently performs calculation processing on the calculation terminal 3 in a construction business related to water pipes (water pipe work business), thereby efficiently processing each step described below. In other words, the water pipe work business support system 1 is a system that supports water pipe work businesses.

[0063] The water pipe construction business support system 1 includes a support server 2 (pipe construction business support server) and a computing terminal 3. The support server 2 and the computing terminal 3 are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

[0064] The computing terminal 3 may be configured, for example, by a computer device or a mobile terminal. The computing terminal 3 may have any configuration as long as it is capable of communicating with the support server 2 and performing computational processing together with the computing terminal. The computing terminal 3 may have a display unit, or may be configured to be able to output display data to another display unit.

[0065] The computing terminal 3 has an ID information storage unit 31 in which unique ID information is stored. The ID information storage unit 31 is configured, for example, by a storage device such as a hard disk or memory. The ID information is information that can identify at least one of each water utility (business entity), each water pipe construction company (pipeline construction company), and each water pipe construction business (pipeline construction business). The ID information may be, for example, information such as an identification number that is different for each water utility, information such as an identification number assigned to each computing terminal, information such as an identification number that is different for each water pipe construction company, or information such as an identification number assigned to each water pipe construction business.

[0066] The water utility is the owner of the water utility business. The water pipe construction contractor is a construction company that undertakes water pipe construction work from the water utility and carries out the water pipe construction work. The water pipe construction work is a construction work related to water pipes carried out by the water utility. The water pipe construction work includes water pipe construction, which involves construction such as laying or updating water pipes, and water pipe maintenance, which involves maintaining and managing water pipes.

[0067] The computing terminal 3 is configured to be able to transmit the ID information to the support server 2. The computing terminal 3 may transmit the ID information to the support server 2 when it is connected to the support server 2 so as to be able to communicate with the support server 2, or may transmit the ID information to the support server 2 when requesting processing from the support server 2, or may transmit the ID information to the support server 2 in response to a request from the support server 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, a case where one computing terminal 3 is connected to the support server 2 will be described, but a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of computing terminals are capable of communicating with the support server 2 .

[0069] The support server 2 is configured by, for example, a computer device. The support server 2 is capable of performing calculations, stores attribute data corresponding to at least one of a water utility, a water pipe contractor, and a water pipe construction business, and transmits the attribute data to the calculation terminal 3 in accordance with ID information transmitted from the calculation terminal 3.

[0070] The attribute data includes information on the specifications of the water pipe, such as the material and dimensions of the water pipe, location data on the location where the water pipe construction work will be performed, hydraulic data (water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity), geological data, topographical data, environmental data, vibration data, traffic data, information on the water utility that manages the water pipe, the water pipe construction company that will be performing the water pipe construction work, and other information on the water pipe construction work. The attribute data preferably includes data other than data on the characteristics of the water pipe. It is particularly preferable that the attribute data include at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data. The attribute data may include data obtained by calculation processing of the support server 2 or the calculation terminal 3. The data on the characteristics of the water pipe refers to data on the specifications or performance of the water pipe, such as data on the material and dimensions of the water pipe, hydraulic data, etc.

[0071] The attribute data includes, for example, utility-specific data including information on the water utility's identification ID, and master data linked to the utility-specific data. The master data includes water pipe data including information on water pipe specifications such as the material and dimensions of the water pipe, template data on forms for documents to be submitted to the water utility, location data on the location where water pipe construction work will be performed, hydraulic data (water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity), geological data, topographical data, environmental data, vibration data, traffic data, etc. The master data is used to create a construction plan, which will be described later.

[0072] Specifically, the support server 2 includes a communication unit 20 , a storage unit 21 , a data processing unit 22 , and a data output unit 23 .

[0073] The communication unit 20 communicates with the computing terminal 3 via an internet line or the like. The communication unit 20 is capable of, for example, inputting signals from the computing terminal 3 and outputting signals to the computing terminal 3. In other words, the communication unit 20 is configured to be capable of transmitting and receiving signals from the computing terminal 3. The communication unit 20 is configured to be capable of communicating with the computing terminal 3 via wired or wireless communication.

[0074] The storage unit 21 stores attribute data related to water pipe construction businesses, linking the data to ID information that can identify at least one of the water utility, water pipe construction contractor, and water pipe construction business. The storage unit 21 is, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk or memory. The storage unit 21 may store the attribute data in advance, or may store attribute data obtained by processing within the support server 2. This allows the support server 2 to centrally manage attribute data related to the water pipe construction businesses of each water utility. In other words, the support server 2 can link and centrally manage the utility-specific data and master data.

[0075] The data processing unit 22 reads attribute data linked to the ID information from the attribute data stored in the storage unit 21 based on the ID information received from the computing terminal 3. Specifically, the data processing unit 22 reads the business entity unique data linked to the ID information and reads the master data linked to the business entity unique data. The data processing unit 22 outputs the read attribute data including the business entity unique data and the master data to the data output unit 23.

[0076] The data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit 22 to the computing terminal 3 via the communication unit 20 .

[0077] As described above, the water pipe installation business support system 1 according to this embodiment supports construction businesses related to water pipes. The water pipe installation business support system 1 includes a support server 2 and a processing terminal 3 that is assigned ID information, is capable of performing calculations, and is capable of communicating with the support server 2. The support server 2 includes a storage unit 21 that stores attribute data related to the water pipe installation business in association with the ID information of the processing terminal 3, a data processing unit 22 that reads the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit 21 when the ID information is received from the processing terminal 3, and a data output unit 23 that outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit 22 to the processing terminal 3.

[0078] The support server 2 according to this embodiment is a server for supporting a construction project related to water pipes. The support server 2 includes a communication unit 20 capable of communicating with a computing terminal 3 to which ID information is assigned, a storage unit 21 that stores attribute data related to the water pipe construction project in association with the ID information of the computing terminal 3, a data processing unit 22 that reads the attribute data associated with the ID information from the storage unit 21 when the ID information is received from the computing terminal 3, and a data output unit 23 that outputs the attribute data read by the data processing unit 22 to the computing terminal 3.

[0079] With the above-described configuration, attribute data related to the water pipe construction business of each water utility can be centrally managed by the support server 2. Therefore, when the calculation terminal 3 and the support server 2 perform calculation processing for each process corresponding to at least one of the water utility, which is the business owner, the water pipe construction contractor, and the water pipe construction business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used.

[0080] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each stage of the water pipe construction business. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each stage in the water pipe construction business. Moreover, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0081] In the configuration of this embodiment, when the data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data to the computing terminal 3, the support server 2 may transmit data or programs required by the computing terminal 3 to the computing terminal 3. This makes it possible to efficiently perform computational processing on the computing terminal 3 using data or programs centrally managed by the support server 2.

[0082] (Water pipe work business support system control method) Fig. 2 is a flow diagram showing a water pipe work business support system control method (pipe work business support system control method) performed by the water pipe work business support system 1 having the above-mentioned configuration. The water pipe work business support system control method will be described below with reference to Fig. 2.

[0083] First, the computing terminal 3 of the water pipe construction business support system 1 transmits ID information assigned to the computing terminal 3 to the support server 2 (step S1). The support server 2 receives the ID information transmitted from the computing terminal 3 via the communication unit 20.

[0084] Next, the data processing unit 22 of the support server 2 reads attribute data related to the waterworks pipe construction business of each waterworks utility, which is linked to the ID information and stored in the memory unit 21 of the support server 2, in accordance with the received ID information (step S2). The attribute data includes the utility-specific data described above and master data linked to the utility-specific data. The attribute data read by the data processing unit 22 is output by the data output unit 23 to the computing terminal 3 via the communication unit 20 (step S3).

[0085] Here, step S1 in which the computing terminal 3 transmits ID information to the support server 2 corresponds to an ID information transmitting step. Step S2 in which the data processing unit 22 reads attribute data from the storage unit 21 in accordance with the ID information corresponds to an attribute data reading step. Step S3 in which the data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data to the computing terminal 3 via the communication unit 20 corresponds to an attribute data transmitting step.

[0086] As described above, the water pipe installation business support system control method according to this embodiment is a method for controlling a water pipe installation business support system 1 that supports water pipe installation businesses and has a computing terminal 3 and a support server 2. The water pipe installation business support system control method includes an ID information transmission step in which the computing terminal 3 transmits ID information assigned to the computing terminal 3 to the support server 2, an attribute data reading step in which the support server reads attribute data related to the water pipe installation business that is associated with the ID information and stored in a memory unit of the support server in accordance with the received ID information, and an attribute data transmission step in which the support server transmits the attribute data to the computing terminal.

[0087] The above-described method allows attribute data relating to the water pipe construction business of each water utility to be centrally managed by the support server 2. Therefore, when the calculation terminal 3 and the support server 2 perform calculation processing for each process corresponding to at least one of the water utility, which is the business owner, the water pipe construction contractor, and the water pipe construction business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used.

[0088] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each stage of the water pipe construction business. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each stage in the water pipe construction business. Moreover, the above-mentioned method can prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0089] (Program for controlling a water pipe work business support system) The program (program for controlling a pipe work business support system) in an embodiment of the present invention may be a program that causes a support server 2 constituting a part of the water pipe work business support system 1 to execute steps S1 to S3 shown in FIG. 2. By executing this program by the support server 2, the water pipe work business support system 1 and the water pipe work business support system control method in this embodiment can be realized. In this case, the support server 2 may be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer. The computer is equipped with, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and arithmetic processing is performed by the CPU.

[0090] The water pipe work business support system control program according to this embodiment is a program for controlling a water pipe work business support system 1 that has a computing terminal 3 and a support server 2 and supports construction businesses related to water pipes. The water pipe work business support system control program causes the support server 2 to execute a reception process for receiving ID information assigned to the computing terminal 3 from the computing terminal 3, execute an attribute data read process for reading attribute data related to the water pipe work business that is associated with the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 2 in accordance with the received ID information, and execute an attribute data transmission process for transmitting the attribute data to the computing terminal 3. The attribute data includes the business entity unique data described above and master data associated with the business entity unique data.

[0091] The above-described method allows attribute data relating to the water pipe construction business of each water utility to be centrally managed by the support server 2. Therefore, when the calculation terminal 3 and the support server 2 perform calculation processing for each process corresponding to at least one of the water utility, which is the business owner, the water pipe construction contractor, and the water pipe construction business, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 2 can be used.

[0092] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently at each stage of the water pipe construction business. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each stage in the water pipe construction business. Moreover, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to prevent input errors that occur when workers manually input the attribute data.

[0093] In this embodiment, the attribute data includes data other than the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe. This allows the support server 2 to output data other than the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe to the computing terminal 3 according to the ID information of the computing terminal 3. Therefore, in the water pipe construction business, it is possible to perform accurate calculation processing using information other than the characteristics of the water pipe. Note that the data related to the characteristics of the water pipe means data related to the specifications or performance of the water pipe, such as data on the material and dimensions of the water pipe, hydraulic data, etc.

[0094] The attribute data includes at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data. This allows the support server 2 to output at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data to the computing terminal 3 in accordance with the ID information of the computing terminal 3. Therefore, in a water pipe construction project, it is possible to perform calculation processing with high accuracy using at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographical data.

[0095] [Embodiment 2] Figure 3 shows a functional block diagram illustrating the schematic configuration of a water pipe installation business support system 100 according to embodiment 2. The water pipe installation business support system 100 according to embodiment 2 differs from the water pipe installation business support system 1 of embodiment 1 in that the support server 102 transmits a program control signal in addition to attribute data to the computing terminal 103. In the following explanation, the same components as those in embodiment 1 are assigned the same reference numerals and explanations thereof are omitted, and only the parts that differ from embodiment 1 will be explained.

[0096] 3, the water pipe installation business support system 100 includes a support server 102 and a computing terminal 103. The support server 102 and the computing terminal 103 are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

[0097] The computing terminal 103 has the same configuration as the computing terminal 3 of embodiment 1, except that it has a program processing unit 132. The program processing unit 132 controls the processing of programs used in the computing processing performed by the computing terminal 103. The program processing unit 132 notifies the program control unit 124 of the support server 102 of information related to data or programs required for the computing processing of the computing terminal 103 as a request signal. At this time, the ID information transmitted from the computing terminal 103 to the support server 102 is also transmitted to the program control unit 124.

[0098] The program for which permission to use is requested from the computing terminal 103 to the support server 102 by the request signal is the computing program. This computing program includes an extension program that extends the functions of the program processed in the computing terminal 103. This extension program may be stored in the program processing unit 132, or may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the computing terminal 103. Alternatively, the extension program may be stored in a storage unit 21 (described later) of the support server 102, and may be available for use by the computing terminal 103 for computing processing when a control signal (described later) is generated by the program control unit 124.

[0099] The support server 102 has a configuration similar to that of the support server 2 of the first embodiment, except that it includes a program control unit 124. The program control unit 124 generates a control signal for controlling program processing by the computing terminal 103 in response to the request signal output from the program processing unit 132 of the computing terminal 103. At this time, the program control unit 124 determines whether to permit the request in the request signal based on ID information transmitted from the computing terminal 103, and generates the control signal based on the determination result. As a result, the control signal is generated according to the ID information of the computing terminal 103, and therefore, it is possible to control a program that can be processed by the computing terminal 103 in accordance with the ID information of the computing terminal 103. Note that the program control unit 124 may determine whether to permit the request in the request signal based on predetermined rules, or may determine whether to permit the request in the request signal based on the contract type of the water pipe construction business, etc.

[0100] The control signal generated by the program control unit 124 is output to the data output unit 23 .

[0101] As in the first embodiment, the data output unit 23 outputs the attribute data and the control signal acquired from the storage unit 21 by the data processing unit 22 to the computing terminal 103. Note that the data output unit 23 may output the attribute data and the control signal to the computing terminal 103 at different times, or may combine the attribute data and the control signal and output them to the computing terminal 103.

[0102] As a result, the support server 102 can control the execution of the calculation program by the calculation terminal 103, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the calculation terminal 103, i.e., attribute data related to the water pipe construction business for each water utility, to the calculation terminal 103. Therefore, using the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102, the calculation process of the calculation program can be performed efficiently on the calculation terminal 103.

[0103] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal can be performed efficiently in each process of the water pipe construction business described below, thereby improving the efficiency of work in each process in the water pipe construction business.

[0104] FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling the water pipe construction business support system according to this embodiment.

[0105] 4, in this embodiment, the computing terminal 103 transmits a request signal requesting execution of a computing program together with ID information to the support server 102 (step S11). As in step S2 in the first embodiment, the data processing unit 22 of the support server 102 reads attribute data related to the water pipe construction business that is associated with the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 102, in accordance with the received ID information (step S12).

[0106] Next, the support server 102 generates a control signal for controlling the execution of the computing program by the computing terminal 103 in response to the request signal from the computing terminal 103 (step S13). This step corresponds to the program control step.

[0107] Thereafter, the support server 102 combines the attribute data read in step S12 with the control signal generated in step S13 and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 103 via the communication unit 20 (step S14).

[0108] As described above, the water pipe construction business support system control method according to this embodiment includes, in addition to the method of embodiment 1, a program control step in which the support server 102 generates a control signal for controlling execution of a computing program by the computing terminal 103 in response to a request from the computing terminal 103. In an ID information transmission step (step S11), the computing terminal 103 transmits to the support server 102 a request signal requesting execution of the computing program together with ID information. In an attribute data transmission step (step S14), the support server 102 transmits to the computing terminal 103 the attribute data read in the attribute data reading step (step S12) and the control signal generated in the program control step.

[0109] The water pipe construction business support system control program according to this embodiment, in addition to the processing by the program of embodiment 1, further causes the support server 102 to execute a program control process for generating a control signal for controlling execution of a computing program by the computing terminal 103 in response to a request from the computing terminal 103. In the reception process, the support server 102 receives a request signal for requesting execution of the computing program, which is transmitted from the computing terminal 103 together with ID information. In the attribute data transmission process, the support server 102 transmits the attribute data read by the attribute data reading process and the control signal generated by the program control process to the computing terminal 103.

[0110] With the above method or program, the support server 102 can control the execution of the calculation program by the calculation terminal 103, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the calculation terminal 103, i.e., attribute data for each water utility, to the calculation terminal 103. Therefore, using the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102, calculation processing can be efficiently performed using the calculation program in the calculation terminal 103.

[0111] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal 103 can be performed efficiently in each process, thereby improving the efficiency of work in each process in the water pipe construction business.

[0112] (Water Pipe Construction) Next, the process of water pipe construction in the water pipe construction business will be described using the flow shown in Fig. 5. The water pipe construction business includes the water pipe construction and water pipe maintenance and management, which will be described later.

[0113] In this embodiment, the water pipe construction work refers to construction work to install water pipes, etc., in an installation location such as underground. The water pipe construction work includes not only construction work to install new water pipes, etc., but also construction work to replace old water pipes, etc., with new water pipes. In the following description, the water pipes, etc., include not only water pipes, but also parts related to the water pipe line, such as valves.

[0114] As shown in FIG. 5, water pipe construction includes the steps of investigation, design, construction planning, construction and inspection, and completion.

[0115] First, in water pipe construction, an investigation such as underground exploration of the location where the water pipe will be installed is carried out (inspection in step SA1). This investigation not only involves the investigation of the location where the water pipe will be installed, but also includes the collection of data related to the water pipe (including data on the specifications of the water pipe, and data on underground, above ground, and other buried objects at the location where the water pipe is installed) if such data is stored.

[0116] The survey results obtained by the survey are linked to ID information that can identify the water pipe construction work for each water utility, and are stored as attribute data in the storage unit of the support server 102.

[0117] In the survey, the survey results may be linked to two-dimensional or three-dimensional map data and displayed as a map.

[0118] Next, the pipeline etc. is designed based on the survey results (design in step SA2). In this design, the pipeline is designed and the specifications of the water pipes to be used are determined, for example, using the computing terminal 103. As a result, the type, material, quantity, etc. of the water pipes to be used in the water pipe construction work are calculated.

[0119] When a pipeline is designed by the computing terminal 103, the computing terminal 103 transmits the ID information and a request signal for use of a computing program to the support server 102. As a result, the data output unit 23 of the support server 102 outputs, to the computing terminal 103, attribute data corresponding to the ID information read from the storage unit 21 by the data processing unit 22, and a control signal generated by the program control unit 124 in response to the request signal. The attribute data includes the business entity-specific data described above and master data linked to the business entity-specific data.

[0120] The computing terminal 103 is able to execute a computing program required for design computation processing in response to a control signal transmitted from the support server 102. The computing program may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the computing terminal 103, or may be stored in a storage unit 21 of the support server 102 and accessible by the computing terminal 103 using the control signal. The computing program may be, for example, a CAD extension function, a pipeline design extension function, an earthwork quantity calculation system, or the like.

[0121] The computing terminal 103 performs computational processing using the necessary program using the attribute data transmitted from the support server 102. This enables the computing terminal 103 to design pipelines, etc. Information obtained by designing pipelines, etc. is linked to the ID information and stored as attribute data in the storage unit of the support server 102. Furthermore, the support server 102 uses the information obtained by designing pipelines, etc. to create design documents, etc.

[0122] Next, a construction plan is created based on the design information obtained from the design results (construction plan in step SA3). Specifically, the computing terminal 103 plans a construction process and creates a construction plan based on the design information and the attribute data output from the support server 102. The construction plan is created based on conditions such as the design information, the type of construction work, the specifications and number of heavy equipment to be used, transportation time, work time, work personnel, and construction environment. The construction plan includes at least one of a work schedule, work instructions, quantity calculations of materials such as water pipes to be used in the construction work, estimates and delivery plans for the materials, and inventory management and procurement plans for the materials. The construction environment refers to the environment of the location where the water pipe construction work will be performed, such as the time periods during which construction work is possible, road traffic volume, types of nearby buildings (commercial, residential, etc.), weather, and season. The design information also includes information on the designed pipeline (hereinafter referred to as the "designed pipeline").

[0123] The computing terminal 103 may create the construction plan using an extension program that is permitted to be used by the program control unit 124 of the support server 102 in response to a request signal, for example.

[0124] In addition, the support server 102 may create a construction plan based on the design information and the attribute data by inputting conditions to the computing terminal 103.

[0125] The information obtained from the construction plan (hereinafter referred to as construction plan information) is linked to the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 102. Based on the construction plan information, the support server 102 creates submission documents such as construction plan documents to be submitted to the water utility.

[0126] Next, water pipe construction is carried out at the construction site based on the construction plan information (construction in step SA4). The support server 102 displays information corresponding to the work process on a mobile terminal (not shown) or the like based on the construction plan information. For example, work details and the like may be displayed on a mobile terminal or the like at the construction site based on the construction plan information. As a result, water pipe construction is carried out at the construction site based on the construction plan information. The support server 102 may automatically operate work machines and the like at the construction site based on the construction plan information and the design information.

[0127] At construction sites, various inspections such as dimensional inspections and construction inspections are carried out according to the work process. Furthermore, at construction sites, performance management is also carried out to determine whether work has been completed in order to manage the work process. The results of these inspections and performance management are transmitted as construction performance information from a performance acquisition terminal such as a mobile terminal to the support server 102. The inspection results may be transmitted to the support server 102 automatically from measuring equipment or construction machines, or may be transmitted to the support server 102 by a worker entering the results into the performance acquisition terminal.

[0128] The construction plan information is associated with construction performance information obtained at the construction site in the support server 102. At this time, the construction plan information and the construction performance information are associated with each other by being linked to the management position in the water pipe pipeline.

[0129] Next, based on the construction plan information and the construction performance information obtained at the construction site, the support server 102 creates as-built drawings and the like (completion of step SA5). Based on the construction plan information and the construction performance information, the support server 102 creates documents to be submitted, such as an as-built management table, an electronic blackboard, and a photo management ledger.

[0130] An example of the configuration of the support server 102 used in the water pipe construction work described above will be described below.

[0131] In addition to the components already described, the support server 102 has a construction plan information generation unit 125, a construction plan information output unit 126, a construction performance information acquisition unit 127, and a submission document creation unit 128. Fig. 6 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the support server 102 used in the water pipe construction work described above. Note that Fig. 6 shows only the components of the support server 102 that are necessary for the following explanation, and does not show the components shown in Fig. 3.

[0132] The construction plan information generating unit 125 generates construction plan information based on the design information and the attribute data. Specifically, the construction plan information generating unit 125 reads the attribute data from the storage unit 21 for each predetermined section of the designed pipeline included in the design information, and generates construction plan information. As a result, the construction plan information is generated for each predetermined section.

[0133] The predetermined section is, for example, a section included in one piece of drawing data for the designed pipeline. Hereinafter, drawing data relating to the predetermined section for the designed pipeline will be referred to as section drawing data. The designed pipeline includes at least one piece of section drawing data. Note that the predetermined section may be a section other than that included in one piece of drawing data, as long as it is a predetermined section for the designed pipeline.

[0134] The section plan data includes construction section data for at least one construction section. The construction section data is data for each construction section in the section plan data. The construction section is a unit for managing water pipe construction. For multiple construction sections, for example, different water pipe construction companies may be used, construction schedules may overlap, and different performance acquisition terminals that acquire construction performance information, as described below, may be assigned.

[0135] The construction section data includes work range data relating to at least one work range. The work range data is data for each work range in the construction section data. The work range is the smallest unit for managing water pipe construction work. The work range may be determined based on a construction schedule or may be determined according to the work content. For example, the work range may be the work range for one day when the construction plan information is created, or may be the work range determined when the design information or the construction plan information is created.

[0136] Figure 7 shows an example in which the design information includes three section drawing data DD11, DD12, and DD13 as the section drawing data. Figure 7 shows an example of section drawing data DD11. Section drawing data DD11 includes construction section data for two construction sections K1 and K2. Construction section K1 includes three work areas K11, K12, and K13. Construction section K2 includes two work areas K21 and K22. In Figure 7, AA0 to AA5 indicate management positions, T1 indicates the start point of the design pipeline TP, and T2 indicates the end point of the design pipeline TP.

[0137] The construction plan information generation unit 125 generates the construction plan information for each work area using the design information and the attribute data. Specifically, the construction plan information generation unit 125 generates the construction plan information using information about the design pipeline included in the design information and master data included in the attribute data (e.g., water pipe data, hydraulic data, topographical data, environmental data, etc.). The construction plan information is generated while being linked to the work area. The construction plan information linked to the work area is also linked to a construction section including the work area. The construction plan information linked to the work area is also linked to section drawing data including data related to the work area and the construction section. The section drawing data is linked to utility-specific data of the attribute data. This allows the section drawing data to be managed while being linked to the water utility.

[0138] 8 is a diagram schematically showing construction plan information generated by the construction plan information generating unit 125. The construction plan information is generated by the construction plan information generating unit 125 for each of the section drawing data DD11, DD12, and DD13. As shown in FIG. 8, for example, the construction plan information generated based on the section drawing data DD11 includes construction plan information generated based on the construction sections K1 and K2. The construction plan information generated based on the construction section K1 includes construction plan information generated based on the work areas K11, K12, and K13. The construction plan information generated based on the construction section K2 includes construction plan information generated based on the work areas K21 and K22.

[0139] The construction plan information generated by the construction plan information generation unit 125 is stored in the storage unit 21. At this time, the construction plan information may be stored in the storage unit 21 for each section drawing data, for each construction section, or for each work range. Note that Fig. 6 shows an example in which the construction plan information is stored in the storage unit 21 for each section drawing data.

[0140] The construction plan information output unit 126 outputs the construction plan information generated by the construction plan information generation unit 125 and stored in the storage unit 21 to the track record acquisition terminal 104 described later. Specifically, the construction plan information output unit 125 reads out the construction plan information from the storage unit 21 while linking it to the work scope, and outputs the read construction plan information to the track record acquisition terminal 104 via the communication unit 20.

[0141] The track record acquisition terminal 104 acquires construction track record information for water pipe construction work in accordance with the construction plan information acquired from the support server 102 as described above. Specifically, the track record acquisition terminal 104 acquires construction track record information corresponding to the construction plan information linked to the work scope in accordance with input from a worker or output from a detection device such as a sensor. The track record acquisition terminal 104 is, for example, a portable terminal such as a mobile terminal or a computing terminal. The track record acquisition terminal 104 may be configured by the computing terminal 103. Although not particularly shown, the track record acquisition terminal 104 has a communication unit, a storage unit, a control unit, and a touch panel unit.

[0142] The communication unit is a network interface for connecting to a mobile phone communication network or a wireless network or a wired network conforming to a wireless communication standard, etc., and communicating with the network. The storage unit stores various data including programs executed by a control unit (described later) and data used by the programs. The storage unit is, for example, a storage device such as a memory.

[0143] The control unit executes a program to perform various functions in the result acquisition terminal 104. The touch panel unit accepts touch inputs from the user of the result acquisition terminal 104 and displays various screens to the user. The result acquisition terminal 104 executes various processes based on the operation content accepted on the touch panel unit. The result acquisition terminal 104 also transmits the operation content accepted on the touch panel unit to the support server 102.

[0144] The performance acquisition terminal 104 acquires construction plan information linked to the work scope from the support server 102, and after acquiring construction performance information that corresponds to the construction plan information and is linked to the work scope, outputs the construction performance information to the support server 102.

[0145] The construction performance information acquisition unit 127 acquires the construction performance information acquired by the performance acquisition terminal 104 and linked to the work scope via the communication unit 20. The construction performance information acquisition unit 127 stores the construction performance information acquired from the performance acquisition terminal 104 in the storage unit 21.

[0146] The storage unit 21 stores the business entity-specific data and master data included in the attribute data, construction plan information, and construction performance information. The storage unit 21 stores the construction plan information and the construction performance information in association with the work scope.

[0147] The construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information based on the construction performance information stored in the storage unit 21. For example, if the construction performance in the construction performance information is earlier or later than the schedule planned in the construction plan information, the construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information using the construction performance information. In this case, the construction plan information generation unit 125 corrects the construction plan information using the construction performance information stored in the storage unit 21 and linked to the work scope.

[0148] As described above, in water pipe construction, by linking the construction plan information and the construction performance information to the work scope and managing them, the construction plan information generating unit 125 can easily and quickly process when correcting the construction plan information using the construction performance information. In other words, since water pipe construction can be planned and managed for each work scope, plan changes and calculation processing can be easily performed according to the work scope.

[0149] The submitted document creation unit 128 creates submitted documents such as a completed form management table, an electronic blackboard, and a photo management ledger, using the construction plan information and the construction performance information that are linked to the work range and stored in the storage unit 21. Note that the submitted document creation unit 128 may create the submitted documents using the construction plan information and the construction performance information, at least one of which is linked to the construction section.

[0150] As described above, in water pipe construction work, the support server 102 centrally manages attribute data related to the water pipe construction work of each water utility, so that when the calculation terminal 103 and the support server 102 perform calculation processing for each process corresponding to at least one of the business owner, the water utility, the water pipe construction contractor, and the water pipe construction work, the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102 can be used.

[0151] Therefore, the calculation processing of the calculation terminal 103 can be performed efficiently in each process, thereby improving the efficiency of work in each process in water pipe construction.

[0152] Moreover, in this embodiment, the support server 102 has a program control unit 124 that generates a control signal for controlling the execution of a computing program by the computing terminal 103 in response to a request signal from the computing terminal 103. The data output unit 23 of the support server 102 outputs the attribute data and the control signal read by the data processing unit 22 to the computing terminal 103.

[0153] As a result, the support server 102 can control the execution of the calculation program by the calculation terminal 103, and at the same time, can output attribute data linked to the ID information of the calculation terminal 103, i.e., attribute data corresponding to the water pipe construction work, to the calculation terminal 103. Therefore, using the attribute data centrally managed by the support server 102, the calculation processing of the calculation program can be performed efficiently on the calculation terminal 103.

[0154] Moreover, in this embodiment, the support server 102 stores in the storage unit 21 attribute data used in the computing program when the expansion program is executed by the computing terminal 103, in association with the ID information of the computing terminal 103.

[0155] This allows the support server 102 to accumulate a large amount of attribute data in response to the execution of the calculation program by the calculation terminal 103. This makes it possible to further improve calculation accuracy and perform calculation processing more efficiently.

[0156] The computing program creates at least one of pipeline design, construction plans, and documents to be submitted. By operating the computing terminal 103, at least one of pipeline design, construction plans, and documents to be submitted can be created by the computing program, the execution of which is controlled by the support server 102. This allows water pipe construction work to be carried out efficiently.

[0157] 9 is a functional block diagram showing the schematic configuration of a water pipe installation business support system 200 according to embodiment 3. The water pipe installation business support system 200 according to embodiment 3 differs from the water pipe installation business support system 1 according to embodiment 1 in that the support server 202 transmits map display data in addition to attribute data to the computing terminal 203. In the following explanation, the same components as those in embodiment 1 are assigned the same reference numerals and explanations thereof are omitted, and only the parts that differ from embodiment 1 will be explained.

[0158] 9, the water pipe installation business support system 200 includes a support server 202 and a computing terminal 203. The support server 202 and the computing terminal 203 are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

[0159] The computing terminal 203 has the same configuration as the computing terminal 3 of the first embodiment, except that it has a map data processing unit 232. The map data processing unit 232 processes data so that the attribute data can be displayed as a map, based on a combination of the attribute data and map display data output from the support server 202. Note that the map data processing unit 232 may also process data other than the attribute data transmitted from the support server 202 (for example, design information for water pipes, measurement data, analysis data, etc.) so that the data can be displayed as a map.

[0160] The support server 202 has the same configuration as the support server 2 of the first embodiment, except that it has a map display data generation unit 224. The map display data generation unit 224 generates map display data including information necessary for displaying a map. The map display data generated by the map display data generation unit 224 includes data related to location coordinates or maps so that the attribute data read by the data processing unit 22 can be displayed on a map. The map-related data includes, for example, data on a topographical map showing roads and houses.

[0161] The map display data generated by the map display data generating unit 224 is output to the data output unit 23 .

[0162] The data output unit 23 combines the attribute data acquired from the storage unit 21 by the data processing unit 22 with the map display data, as in the first embodiment, and outputs the combined data to the computing terminal 203 .

[0163] As a result, the attribute data can be managed in a unified manner by the support server 202, and the attribute data can be displayed as a map on the computing terminal 203, as shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a map display of attribute data M1 to M3. In Fig. 10, the attribute data M1 to M3 are displayed in balloons, but for example, the attribute data of a selected portion may be displayed by the operator of the computing terminal 203.

[0164] The configuration of this embodiment allows information to be easily displayed as a map on the computing terminal 203, and allows the operator of the computing terminal 203 to visually process the information based on the displayed map. Therefore, the computing processing of the computing terminal 203 can be performed efficiently at each stage of the water pipe construction project. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each stage in the water pipe construction project.

[0165] FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling the water pipe construction business support system according to this embodiment.

[0166] As shown in Figure 11, in this embodiment, similar to steps S1 and S2 in embodiment 1, the computing terminal 203 transmits ID information to the support server 202 (step S21), and the data processing unit 22 of the support server 202 reads out attribute data related to the water pipe construction business that is linked to the ID information and stored in the memory unit 21 of the support server 202 in accordance with the received ID information (step S22).

[0167] Next, the support server 202 generates map display data based on the mapping data, for displaying a map on the computing terminal 203 (step S23). This step corresponds to the map display data generating step.

[0168] Thereafter, the data output unit 23 of the support server 202 combines the attribute data read in step S22 with the map display data generated in step S23 and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 203 via the communication unit 20 (step S24).

[0169] The generation of map display data in step S23 may be performed before steps S21 and S22, or may be performed simultaneously with at least one of steps S21 and S22.

[0170] As described above, the water pipe construction business support system control method according to this embodiment includes, in addition to the method of embodiment 1, a map display data generation step in which the support server 202 generates, based on the mapping data, map display data for displaying a map on the computing terminal 203. In an attribute data transmission step (step S24), the support server 202 combines the attribute data read in the attribute data reading step (step S22) with the map display data generated in the map display data generation step (step S23) and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 203.

[0171] In addition to the processing by the program of embodiment 1, the water pipe installation business support system control program according to this embodiment further causes the support server 202 to execute a map display data generation process for generating, based on the mapping data, map display data for displaying a map on the computing terminal 203. In an attribute data transmission process, the support server 202 combines the attribute data read by the attribute data reading process with the map display data generated by the map display data generation process and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 203.

[0172] By using the above method or program, when a map is displayed on the computing terminal 203, attribute data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal 203 can be output to the computing terminal 203. Therefore, the computing terminal 203 can perform computational processing by combining the map display data and the attribute data. Therefore, the computing terminal 203 can perform computational processing efficiently.

[0173] In this embodiment, the data output from the support server 202 in combination with the map display data is not limited to attribute data, but may be, for example, data such as the survey results, design information, construction plan and construction information described in embodiment 2. Furthermore, the support server 202 may combine the map display data with measurement data for maintenance management, which will be described later, and transmit the combined data to the computing terminal 203.

[0174] (Water Pipe Maintenance Management) Each process in the maintenance management of water pipes and the like (hereinafter referred to as water pipe maintenance management) in the water pipe construction business will be described using the flow shown in FIG. 12 .

[0175] In this embodiment, water pipe maintenance refers to at least one of condition monitoring, inspection, diagnosis, repair, and renewal planning for water pipes, etc., installed underground, etc. The maintenance may include two or more of condition monitoring, inspection, diagnosis, repair, and renewal planning for water pipes, etc.

[0176] As shown in FIG. 12, water pipe maintenance includes, for example, the processes of condition monitoring, inspection, diagnosis, repair, and renewal planning.

[0177] First, in the condition monitoring, the condition of the water pipes, etc. is monitored using sensors, etc., installed in the water pipes, etc. (condition monitoring in step SB1), and the monitoring results are accumulated in the support server 202. The sensors may be installed in, for example, valves. The monitoring results include measurement results of, for example, water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity, vibration, residual chlorine concentration, turbidity, etc.

[0178] The monitoring results are linked to ID information for identifying at least one of the water utility, the water pipe contractor, and the water pipe construction business, and are stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202. Therefore, the monitoring results are managed in a unified manner by the support server 202.

[0179] The monitoring results may be combined with map display data and transmitted to the computing terminal 203. This allows the computing terminal 203 to display the monitoring results on a map. Therefore, the monitoring person can easily understand the monitoring results using the computing terminal 203.

[0180] Furthermore, by controlling pumps or valves etc. according to the monitoring results, it is possible to optimize water operations such as adjusting the optimum water pressure in the pipelines, adjusting water purification plans and water distribution plans, and optimizing the residual chlorine concentration.

[0181] Next, based on the monitoring results, inspection of the water pipes, etc. is performed (inspection in step SB2). For example, inspection of valves, etc., inspection of pipelines for water leaks, etc. The inspection of valves, etc. and the inspection for water leaks may be performed by remote operation.

[0182] The inspection results of the water pipes and the like are linked to the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202. Therefore, the monitoring results are managed in a unified manner by the support server 202.

[0183] The inspection results may be combined with map display data and transmitted to the computing terminal 203. This allows the computing terminal 203 to display the inspection results on a map. Therefore, the supervisor can easily understand the inspection results using the computing terminal 203.

[0184] Next, the support server 202 performs a diagnosis using the inspection results (diagnosis in step SB3). The diagnosis includes, for example, at least one of a deterioration diagnosis, a resistance diagnosis to natural disasters, hydraulic and water quality calculations, and a comprehensive evaluation according to the importance of these. The deterioration diagnosis may predict the rate of water leakage accidents, for example, by machine learning information that includes water leakage data and pipeline data as well as map information such as topographical maps, geological maps, river maps, soil maps, and precipitation maps.

[0185] The results of the diagnosis are linked to the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202. Therefore, the monitoring results are managed in a unified manner by the support server 202.

[0186] The results of the diagnosis may be combined with map display data and transmitted to the computing terminal 203. This allows the results of the diagnosis to be displayed on a map on the computing terminal 203. Therefore, at least one of the water utility, which is the business owner, and the water pipe construction company that performs the water pipe construction can easily understand the results of the diagnosis using the computing terminal 203.

[0187] Next, based on the results of the diagnosis, repairs are carried out if necessary (repairs in step SB4), which involve maintenance or repairs of water pipes, valves, etc.

[0188] The repair-related data is linked to the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202. Therefore, the repair-related data is managed in a unified manner by the support server 202.

[0189] The repair-related data may be combined with map display data and transmitted to the computing terminal 203. This allows the computing terminal 203 to display the repair-related data on a map. This allows the supervisor to easily grasp the repair-related data using the computing terminal 203.

[0190] Next, based on the results of the diagnosis, if necessary, an update plan is created (update plan in step SB5). In creating the update plan, the order of updates is determined based on at least one of the degree of deterioration obtained from the diagnosis, a resistance diagnosis to natural disasters, hydraulic and water quality calculations, and a comprehensive evaluation according to the importance of these, and the update plan is created using the results.

[0191] The data relating to the update plan is linked to the ID information and stored in the storage unit 21 of the support server 202. Therefore, the data relating to the update plan is managed in a unified manner by the support server 202.

[0192] The data related to the update plan may be combined with map display data and transmitted to the computing terminal 203. This allows the data related to the update plan to be displayed on a map on the computing terminal 203. Therefore, the supervisor can easily grasp the data related to the update plan using the computing terminal 203.

[0193] In preparing the renewal plan, the support server may generate a control signal for program control based on a request signal sent from a computing terminal and output the control signal to the computing terminal, as in the case of the water pipe construction work described above. This allows the computing terminal to prepare the renewal plan using the necessary expansion programs, etc.

[0194] Although not specifically shown, in this embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the support server may control the use of the computing program by the computing terminal. In this case, the computing terminal may process each step in the maintenance of the water pipes described above by performing computational processing of the computing program. For example, the creation of an update plan for the maintenance of the water pipes may be performed by a computation program processed by the computing terminal. By operating the computing terminal, an update plan for the maintenance of the water pipes can be created by a computation program whose execution is controlled by the support server. This allows the water pipe construction business to be carried out efficiently.

[0195] In addition, each process such as condition monitoring, inspection, and diagnosis in the maintenance and management of water pipes may be performed by a calculation program that is processed by a calculation terminal.

[0196] 13 is a functional block diagram showing the schematic configuration of a water pipe installation business support system 300 according to embodiment 4. The water pipe installation business support system 300 according to embodiment 4 differs from the water pipe installation business support system 200 according to embodiment 3 in that the support server 302 transmits analysis result data in addition to attribute data and map display data to the computing terminal 203. In the following explanation, the same components as those in embodiment 3 are assigned the same reference numerals and explanations thereof will be omitted, and only the parts that differ from embodiment 3 will be explained.

[0197] As shown in Fig. 13, the water pipe installation business support system 300 has a support server 302, a computing terminal 203, and a water pipe condition detection unit 303 (pipe condition detection unit). The support server 302 and the computing terminal 203 are configured to be able to communicate with each other. The water pipe condition detection unit 303 detects the condition of water pipes, etc., and transmits the detection results to the support server 302. The water pipe condition detection unit 303 is, for example, a sensor.

[0198] The support server 302 has the same configuration as the support server 202 of embodiment 3, except that it has a measurement data acquisition unit 325 and an analysis processing unit 326. The measurement data acquisition unit 325 acquires information about the status of equipment such as water pipes and valves from a water pipe status detection unit 303 that detects the status of the equipment such as water pipes and valves. The information about the status of equipment such as water pipes and valves includes measurement results such as water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity, vibration, water leakage sound, residual chlorine concentration, and turbidity.

[0199] The analysis processing unit 326 performs analysis based on the information acquired by the measurement data acquisition unit 325. Specifically, the analysis processing unit 326 performs analysis including at least one of, for example, a deterioration diagnosis, a resistance diagnosis to natural disasters, hydraulic and water quality calculations, and a comprehensive evaluation according to the importance of these, and outputs the analysis results as analysis result data.

[0200] The analysis result data generated by the analysis processing unit 326 is output to the data output unit 23 .

[0201] The data output unit 23 combines the attribute data acquired from the memory unit 21 by the data processing unit 22, as in the first embodiment, with the map display data generated by the map display data generation unit 224, as in the third embodiment, and also combines the analysis result data, and outputs the combined data to the computing terminal 203.

[0202] As a result, the attribute data can be managed in a unified manner by the support server 302, and the attribute data can be displayed as a map by the computing terminal 203. The analysis result data can also be displayed as a map by the computing terminal 203.

[0203] FIG. 14 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a map display of attribute data M1 to M3 and analysis result data P1 to P3. In FIG. 14, the attribute data M1 to M3 and the analysis result data P1 to P3 are displayed in speech bubbles. In the map shown in FIG. 14, the portions where the analysis result data exceed a threshold may be indicated by a thick line, or the portions may be displayed in a different color. Furthermore, in the map shown in FIG. 14, the analysis results may be displayed in separate regions. Note that only one of the attribute data and the analysis result data may be displayed on the map.

[0204] With the configuration of this embodiment, the information displayed as a map can be easily displayed on the computing terminal 203, and the operator of the computing terminal 203 can visually process the information based on the displayed map. Therefore, the computing processing of the computing terminal 203 can be performed efficiently at each stage of the water pipe installation business. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of work at each stage in the water pipe installation business.

[0205] FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling the water pipe construction business support system according to this embodiment.

[0206] As shown in Figure 15, in this embodiment, similar to steps S1 and S2 in embodiment 1, the computing terminal 203 transmits ID information to the support server 302 (step S31), and the data processing unit 22 of the support server 302 reads out attribute data related to the water pipe construction business that is linked to the ID information and stored in the memory unit 21 of the support server 302 in accordance with the received ID information (step S32).

[0207] Next, similarly to step S23 in the third embodiment, the support server 302 generates map display data for displaying a map on the computing terminal 203 based on the mapping data (step S33).

[0208] Next, the measurement data acquisition unit 325 of the support server 302 acquires information about the status of the water pipes and equipment such as valves from the water pipe status detection unit 303 (step S34). In the following step S35, the analysis processing unit 326 of the support server 302 performs analysis based on the information acquired by the measurement data acquisition unit 325 and generates analysis result data (step S35).

[0209] Then, the data output unit 23 of the support server 302 combines the attribute data read out in step S32 with the map display data generated in step S33 and the analysis result data generated in step S35, and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 203 via the communication unit 20 (step S36).

[0210] The acquisition of information regarding the condition of the water pipes, etc. in step S34 and the generation of analysis result data in step S35 may be performed before steps S32 and S33, or may be performed simultaneously with at least one of steps S32 and S33.

[0211] As described above, the water pipe installation business support system control method according to this embodiment further includes, in addition to the method of embodiment 3, a water pipe status acquisition step (step S34) in which the support server 302 acquires the status of the water pipe, and an analysis result data generation step (step S35) in which the support server 302 performs an analysis on the water pipe based on the acquired status of the water pipe and generates analysis result data. In an attribute data transmission step (step S36), the support server 302 combines the attribute data read in the attribute data reading step (step S32) and the analysis result data generated in the analysis result data generation step (step S35) with the map display data generated in the map display data generation step (step S33), and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 203.

[0212] The water pipe installation business support system control program according to this embodiment further causes the support server 302 to execute a water pipe status acquisition process for acquiring the status of the water pipe, and an analysis result data generation process for performing an analysis on the water pipe based on the acquired status of the water pipe and generating analysis result data. In a data transmission process, the support server 302 combines the attribute data read by the attribute data reading process and the analysis result data generated by the analysis result data generation process with the map display data generated by the map display data generation process, and transmits the combined data to the computing terminal 203.

[0213] By using the above method or program, when a map is displayed on the computing terminal 203, the attribute data and analysis result data linked to the ID information of the computing terminal 203 can be output to the computing terminal 203. Therefore, the computing terminal 203 can perform arithmetic processing by combining the map display data, the attribute data, and the analysis result data. Therefore, the arithmetic processing of the computing terminal 203 can be performed efficiently.

[0214] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above-described embodiments are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be practiced by appropriately modifying the above-described embodiments within the scope of the spirit thereof.

[0215] In the second embodiment, the water pipe installation business support system 100 is used for processing each process of water pipe installation. However, the water pipe installation business support system 100 may be used for processing each process of water pipe maintenance shown in the third embodiment.

However, the construction plan information may be linked to a parameter other than the work scope. The construction performance information may be linked to a parameter other than the work scope.

[0217] In the second embodiment, the support server 102 has a construction plan information generation unit 125, a construction plan information output unit 126, a construction performance information acquisition unit 127, and a submission document creation unit 128. However, a support server in another embodiment may have the construction plan information generation unit, the construction plan information output unit, the construction performance information acquisition unit, and the submission document creation unit. A device other than the support server may have the construction plan information generation unit, the construction plan information output unit, the construction performance information acquisition unit, and the submission document creation unit.

[0218] In the second embodiment, the storage unit 21 stores the attribute data, the construction plan information, and the construction performance information. However, the storage unit that stores the attribute data and the storage unit that stores the construction plan information and the construction performance information may be different storage units.

[0219] In the third embodiment, the water pipe installation business support system 200 displays attribute data as a map, and in the fourth embodiment, the water pipe installation business support system 300 displays attribute data and analysis result data as a map.

[0220] However, the water pipe construction business support system may display, on a map, survey results, design information, construction plans, construction information, monitoring results, inspection results, diagnosis results, renewal plans, repair information, etc. Furthermore, the water pipe construction business support system may display, on a map, a plurality of pieces of information including attribute data, or a plurality of pieces of information other than attribute data.

[0221] In each of the above embodiments, the water pipe construction business support systems 1, 100, 200, and 300 are systems that support water pipe construction businesses. Furthermore, the support servers 2, 102, 202, and 302 are servers that support water pipe construction businesses.
