  Then, the user specifies an image used for the report while viewing the image displayed on the monitor screen 810. Specifically, when a desired image is displayed on the monitor screen 810, the selector button 102 is pressed. When the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 detects that the selector button 102 is pressed (step S2-3), the captured image data is recorded in the report image data storage unit 13 (step S2-4). Specifically, the control unit 11 first stores the captured image data displayed on the monitor screen 810 in the captured image data area of the report image data storage unit 13 when the selector button 102 is pressed. . At this time, the control unit 11 assigns an image identifier to the captured image data recorded in the report image data storage unit 13, and stores the assigned image identifier in the image identifier data area of the report image data storage unit 13.

Further, the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 records the shooting time (step S2-5). This process will be described with reference to FIG. Here, when the synchronization time acquired from the business management system 20 is set as the clock time used in the report creation program (in the case of “YES” in step S3-1), the recording time of the recorded image is set. The current time is recorded (step S3-2). In other words, when the connection to the business management system 20 is established when the program is started (in the case of “YES” in step S1-5), the time by the internal clock used in the report creation program is recorded.

  On the other hand, when the synchronization time is not set (in the case of “NO” in step S3-1), the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 records the timer time (step S3-3). That is, when the program cannot be connected to the business management system 20 at the time of starting the program (in the case of “NO” in step S1-5), the elapsed time from when the timer is reset (step S1-8) is recorded. .

  When the captured image is recorded in the report image data storage unit 13 in this way, the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 displays the image screen 850 shown in FIG. The image screen 850 includes a captured image 853 that has been captured, and the image title and image message that have been input to the image title input field 801 and the image message input field 802 on the captured image screen 800. Here, the user may update data on the image title and the image message on the image screen 850 using the selector button 102, the dial number button 104, and the like.

  In addition, a captured image 853 is displayed on the image screen 850. Furthermore, when the internal clock of the program is displayed at the synchronization time, the image screen 850 displays the time when the captured image was captured.

  The image screen 850 includes a save button 855 and a cancel button 856. The user selects a cancel button 856 when exiting without saving the changed contents. Further, when the contents are to be saved, the save button 855 is selected. Here, when the save button 855 is selected, the cellular phone terminal 10 saves the update of the data displayed on the image screen 850 in the report image data storage unit 13. Then, the control unit 11 redisplays the menu screen 600 on the display unit 101.

When there is an image necessary for the work report during the work, the photographing process is repeatedly performed and stored as the work report image as needed.
(Report transmission process)
Next, transmission processing for transmitting the created report to the business management system 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The user attaches the last captured image in the work completion state to the work report, and then displays the report creation screen 700 on the display unit 101. Here, the user selects the send button 706 on the report creation screen 700. At this time, if the connection to the business management system 20 is not possible (in the case of “NO” in step S4-1), the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 displays a display indicating that transmission is impossible on the display unit 101. (Step S4-2), the process is stopped.

  On the other hand, when the connection to the business management system 20 has been established (in the case of “YES” in step S4-1), the mobile phone terminal 10 reports the report document, the report image, the current time (transmission time), and its mobile phone identifier. The report data including the data regarding is transmitted to the business management system 20 (step S4-3). Here, the report data transmitted by the mobile phone terminal 10 includes report document data 120 stored in the report document data storage unit 12 and report image data 130 stored in the report image data storage unit 13.

Here, the report data includes the document identifier, document creation time, document title, document message, and image identifier of the report document data 120 recorded in the report document data storage unit 12. In addition, when position information at the time of document creation, that is, data relating to the creation location is stored as the report document data 120, the data relating to the creation location is also included in the report data.

  The report image data includes all the image data associated with the transmitted report document data 120 via the image identifier. Specifically, the control unit 11 acquires the report image data 130 having the image identifier recorded in the image identifier data area of the report document data 120 from the report image data storage unit 13. Then, the shooting time, the image title, the image message, and the shot image of the report image data 130 are transmitted to the business management system 20.

Furthermore, the transmission time data included in the report data is time data at the time of transmission by a clock built in the report creation program in the mobile phone terminal 10.
In addition, the mobile phone terminal 10 transmits a GPS signal for specifying the location where the report data is transmitted to the business management system 20. As a result, the management computer 21 of the business management system 20 acquires data related to the work place of the user. In the present embodiment, at this stage, if the GPS function unit 113 of the mobile phone terminal 10 cannot acquire the GPS signal in step S1-4, the GPS signal is transmitted.

  The management computer 21 of the business management system 20 creates work report data 230 based on the received report data and records it in the work report data storage unit 23 (step S4-4).

  Specifically, the management computer 21 first records the document identifier, document title, and document message data of the received report document data 120 in the document data 231 of the work report data storage unit 23. Further, the management computer 21 records the image title, image message, and captured image data of the received report image data 130 in the image data 232 of the work report data storage unit 23.

  Further, the management computer 21 acquires a user identifier and records this data in the document data 231 of the work report data storage unit 23. Specifically, the management computer 21 searches the authentication data 220 stored in the authentication data storage unit 22 for authentication data 220 including the received mobile phone identifier data. Then, the management computer 21 stores the extracted user identifier data of the authentication data 220 in the work report data storage unit 23.

  Then, the management computer 21 records the work place data in the document data 231 of the work report data storage unit 23. Specifically, the management computer 21 specifies the location information of the mobile phone terminal 10 at the time of reporting, that is, the report location, based on the GPS signal received together with the report data in step S4-3. Then, the management computer 21 records the document data 231 in the work report data storage unit 23 including the work place.

  Then, the management computer 21 determines whether or not the time data included in the report data is a timer time (step S4-5). Specifically, the management computer 21 compares the transmission time included in the report data with the reception time of the clock built in the business management system 20.

  When the time included in the report data is the timer time (in the case of “YES” in step S4-5), the management computer 21 performs conversion to the synchronization time (step S4-6). Specifically, the management computer 21 calculates the elapsed time from each shooting from the difference between the timer time at the time of transmission included in the report data and the timer time at the time of shooting each image. Then, the management computer 21 calculates a synchronization time corresponding to each timer time from the elapsed time and the reception time of the management computer 21.

  This process is performed for all timer times included in the report data. That is, the management computer 21 converts the timer time of the report document data 120 into a synchronized document creation time. The converted document creation time is recorded in the work report data storage unit 23 as the start time of the synchronized work time of the work report data storage unit 23. Furthermore, the management computer 21 converts the shooting time of the report image data 130 into a synchronized shooting time. Next, the converted synchronous photographing time is recorded as the synchronous photographing time of each image data 232. Then, the latest synchronized shooting time is recorded as the end time of the synchronization work time of the document data 231.

In this way, the management computer 21 of the business management system 20 sequentially records the report data transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 10.
(Report output)
When outputting a work report, the job management system 20 is accessed from the computer terminal 30. At this time, the computer terminal 30 transmits data related to the user identifier and password input by the user to the business management system 20. The business management system 20 confirms the report output authority based on the received data. When the output authority can be confirmed, a list of report data that can be output with the authority is displayed on the computer terminal 30. Specifically, the management computer 21 acquires the document title of the work report data 230 that can be output from the work report data storage unit 23 and transmits it to the computer terminal 30.

  Here, the user selects a specific work report from the list of report data displayed on the computer terminal 30. Thereby, the computer terminal 30 displays the report screen 900 of FIG.

  On this report screen 900, document data 231 of the work report data 230 and each image data 232 associated therewith are displayed. Specifically, the report screen 900 displays the document identifier, user identifier, user name, creation time, creation location, document title, and document message of the document data 231 as a work report. Furthermore, on the same report screen 900, as the image data 232, each image, the synchronized shooting time of each image, the document title, and the document message are displayed. In this way, a work report can be created using the report screen 900.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the present embodiment, the business management system 20 includes a work report data storage unit 23. The work report data storage unit 23 stores work report data 230 of each user. The work report data 230 includes document data 231 and image data 232 for each document identifier. The document data 231 includes data relating to a document identifier, a user identifier, a creation location, a synchronization work time, a document title, and a document message. Further, the image data 232 includes data related to the synchronized shooting time, the image title, the image message, and the shot image. Thereby, a work place and work contents can be recorded with time. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform work reports and create reports.

In the present embodiment, the mobile phone terminal 10 attempts to connect to the business management system 20 when the program is started. If the connection to the business management system 20 is established (in the case of “YES” in step S1-5), the internal clock of the mobile phone terminal 10 (report generating program) is based on the synchronization time data received from the business management system 20. The clock time is set (step S1-7). Then, the cellular phone terminal 10 uses the synchronization time to generate the report data creation time and the report image data shooting time based on the current time based on the synchronization time (step S3-2). Thereby, report data can be generated using the time synchronized with the time managed by the business management system 20. In the case of the clock of the mobile phone terminal 10, the time of this clock can be changed. In the present invention, unlike the clock of the mobile phone terminal 10, the time of the report data cannot be changed by a user operation. Therefore, appropriate report data can be generated using the synchronized time.

  In this embodiment, when the program cannot be connected to the business management system 20 at the time of starting the program (“NO” in step S1-5), the timer clock of the program is reset (step S1-8). And when it image | photographed, the mobile telephone terminal 10 records the timer time with a picked-up image (step S3-3). Thereafter, the cellular phone terminal 10 transmits time data together with the report data to the business management system 20 (step S4-3). Based on the time data of the timer time, the management computer 21 of the business management system 20 converts the data related to the time included in the report data into a synchronization time (step S4-6). For example, the communication environment may be poor in an elevator or underground. By using the timer time, even if the synchronization time cannot be acquired from the business management system 20, a work report using an appropriate time can be created.

  In the present embodiment, when the GPS function unit 113 of the mobile phone terminal 10 acquires a GPS signal, the GPS signal is transmitted to the business management system 20 in step S1-4 and step S4-3. For this reason, the information on the current position when the mobile phone terminal 10 generates the image data and the information on the current position when the report data is generated can be included in the report data. Therefore, the user can efficiently create a report without inputting data relating to the position of the report.

  In the present embodiment, when receiving a report creation program download request from the mobile phone terminal 10, the management computer 21 transmits the report creation program to the mobile phone terminal 10 via the Internet I. Then, the cellular phone terminal 10 that has received the report creation program records the received program in the program storage unit 14. Thereby, the user can create a work report using the mobile phone terminal 10.

  -In this embodiment, the control part 11 of the mobile telephone terminal 10 which started the report preparation program displays the login screen 500 on the display part 101 first (step S1-2). The login screen 500 includes a password input field 501 and an OK button 502. As a result, the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 authenticates the user (step S1-3). If the passwords do not match, the control unit 11 stops the activation process. Thereby, unauthorized use can be prevented even when the mobile phone terminal 10 is lost or stolen.

  In the present embodiment, when the mobile phone terminal 10 can connect to the business management system 20, the mobile phone terminal 10 uses the report data including the report document, the report image, the current time (transmission time), and data related to the mobile phone identifier. It transmits to the management system 20 (step S4-3). Then, the management computer 21 that has received the report data searches the authentication data 220 stored in the authentication data storage unit 22 for the authentication data 220 including the received mobile phone identifier data. Then, the management computer 21 stores the extracted user identifier data of the authentication data 220 in the work report data storage unit 23. Thereby, the user who made the report can be specified. Therefore, the user can efficiently report work.

In the present embodiment, the mobile phone terminal 10 includes a report document data storage unit 12 and a report image data storage unit 13. In the report document data storage unit 12, report document data 120 related to the work report is recorded. On the other hand, report image data 130 attached to the report is recorded in the report image data storage unit 13. The report document data 120 and the report image data 130 are associated with each other through the image identifiers included in both. Thereby, a plurality of images can be added to one report. A work report using visual information can be created by adding images of a plurality of situations (before work start, after work, etc.) to one work.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the present embodiment, the work reporting method in which the user reports the work status in a remote place has been described. If the purpose is to keep a record using the time synchronized with the time of the business management system 20, it is not limited to this, a report before the construction of repair maintenance, a report after the construction, a progress / status report of the creation place, It can also be used for maintenance / quality survey reports, disaster / accident status reports, real estate property surveys, waste status management, etc.

  In the above embodiment, the management computer 21 determines whether or not the time data included in the report data is a timer time (step S4-5). If the time included in the report data is a timer time, the management computer 21 converts the time into a synchronous time (step S4-6). Instead of this, the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 may perform conversion to the synchronization time. Specifically, when the control unit 11 of the mobile phone terminal 10 can connect to the management computer 21, the synchronization time is acquired from the business management system 20. When the time used by the report creation program is the timer time, the control unit 11 calculates the elapsed time from each shooting from the difference between the current timer time and the timer time at the time of shooting each image. And the control part 11 calculates the synchronous time corresponding to each timer time from the elapsed time and the synchronous time acquired from the work management system 20. The report data converted into the synchronous time is transmitted to the business management system 20. This makes it possible to create a work report while reducing the load on the management computer 21.

  In the above embodiment, a report based on the report data stored in the work report data storage unit 23 is displayed on the computer terminal 30 and output. Alternatively, a report may be printed and output by connecting a printing device to the management computer 21 and printing the report screen 900. Thereby, a work report can be created efficiently.

  In the above embodiment, when the report creation program is started, the control unit 11 tries to connect to the business management system 20 (step S1-4). When the connection with the business management system 20 is established (in the case of “YES” in step 1-5), the management computer 21 of the business management system 20 transmits the synchronization time data to the mobile phone terminal 10. (Step S1-6). On the other hand, if the connection to the business management system 20 has failed (in the case of “NO” in step S1-5), the timer is reset (step S1-8). Alternatively, when the report creation program is started, connection to the business management system 20 is not attempted, and report data may always be recorded using the timer of the mobile phone terminal 10. In this case, the management computer 21 performs conversion to the synchronization time during the transmission process of the report (step S4-6). Thereby, report data can be recorded without performing synchronization at the time of activation.

  In the above embodiment, when the connection to the business management system 20 is not possible (in the case of “NO” in step S1-5), the timer is reset (step S1-8). Instead, the time of the built-in clock of the mobile phone terminal 10 may be used. In this case, the management computer 21 performs conversion to the synchronization time only when the time of the internal clock of the mobile phone terminal 10 is different from the reference time (step S4-6). When the time of the built-in clock of the mobile phone terminal 10 coincides with the reference time, it is possible to record appropriate report data without performing synchronization when starting the report creation program.

In the above embodiment, the user identifier and password of the user who uses the mobile phone terminal 10 are stored in the authentication data storage unit 22 in advance in association with the mobile phone identifier. Instead, the user identifier may be transmitted when the mobile phone terminal 10 transmits the report data to the business management system 20. Specifically, when transmitting to the business management system 20, the mobile phone terminal 10 transmits its own user identifier and password to the business management system 20. The management computer 21 specifies a user from the received user identifier and password. In this way, it is not necessary to allocate the mobile phone terminals 10 for each user.
