Information Processing Apparatus for Inspection Image Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of checking and editing inspection results for architectural structures like buildings and bridges is time-consuming due to the similarity and large number of inspection images, which makes it difficult to efficiently manage and retrieve relevant information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a processor that displays multiple regions on a map, allowing users to select imaging locations, view images captured at those locations, and edit associated information, facilitating the management and editing of inspection results through a user interface that includes a map display, image display, and information editing region.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple inspection images are stored and managed, then the completeness of inspection records is improved, but the time required to check and edit inspection results increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the inspection information management into multiple functional regions: a map display region for location selection, an image display region for viewing inspection images, and an information editing region for data management. This segmentation allows users to efficiently navigate and manage large numbers of inspection images by spatial location, reducing the time required to check and edit inspection results while maintaining record completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a map as an intermediary interface between the user and the inspection images. Instead of directly browsing through numerous images, users can select imaging locations on the map, which then displays the corresponding images. This intermediary map-based navigation system significantly reduces the time required to locate and manage inspection images while ensuring all records are accessible.
2Ease of operation
If a detailed interface for editing inspection information is provided, then the ease of editing is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface is segmented into distinct functional regions: a map display region for location selection, an image display region for viewing images, and an information editing region for data management. Each region has a specific function, which simplifies the overall complexity by organizing tools and information into manageable sections rather than presenting a single complex interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The map display serves multiple functions: it shows imaging locations, allows selection of specific locations, and provides navigation to related inspection images. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized interfaces, thereby simplifying the overall system while maintaining ease of operation for editing inspection information.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to execute a process for displaying multiple regions. The multiple regions include a first region, a second region, and a third region. The first region indicates, on a map, an imaging location of an image saved at a predetermined location such that the imaging location is selectable by a user. The second region presents the image captured at the imaging location selected in the first region, and the third region relates to editing performable by the user on information attached to the image presented in the second region.
