[0077] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the optical line field management method according to the present invention includes: a first step of executing a mobile terminal app and logging in through an entry screen; a second step of displaying an optical fusion splicer icon, an optical core checker icon, a housing NFC tag icon, and a housing recognition photo icon; a third step of analyzing connection image data taken through an optical fusion splicer connected wirelessly by selecting the optical fusion splicer icon using artificial intelligence (AI) on a mobile terminal app or a server to determine whether it is good or bad; a fourth step of receiving optical signal intensity data measured through an optical core checker connected wirelessly by selecting the optical core checker icon from a mobile terminal app and determining whether there is a slant on the server; a fifth step of checking housing information and optical line information by selecting the housing NFC tag icon, selecting an optical core to work on, automatically correcting the optical signal intensity data measured through the optical core checker to determine whether there is a slant on the mobile terminal app, and writing and transmitting it to a server via an NFC tag; And it may include a sixth step of selecting the above-mentioned hull photo recognition icon, analyzing the image data taken of the inside of the hull after the hull work using artificial intelligence (AI) in a mobile terminal app or server to determine whether it is good or bad.

[0078] As shown in Fig. 2a, the first and second steps of the system are to run the mobile terminal (50) app and then log in through the entry screen (S100).

[0092] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned body image data can be analyzed using artificial intelligence based on machine learning or deep learning model through a mobile terminal (50) app to determine whether it is good or bad.

[0093] In addition, when the optical time domain reflectometer icon (not shown) is selected on the mobile terminal (50) app, the optical time domain reflectometer (30) is connected wirelessly, and the data measuring loss, defects, and refraction points of the optical cable with the optical time domain reflectometer (30) are transmitted to the mobile terminal (50) app, and the measured data are transmitted to the server (60) through the mobile terminal (50) app, and the length, loss, transmission speed, splicing, and damage of the optical fiber can be stored and managed by analyzing the measured data.
