This is because in the patrol work, it is desirable to assist the patrolmen by some means for the order of patrols and items to be inspected in various places, while objectively confirming that security inspection with high security has been performed correctly. Because it is necessary to prove.

  For example, in a conventional patrol work using a patrol recorder and a clock key, it is at least (1) proof that the patrol area has been inspected and checked for safety by performing time stamping with the clock key. Therefore, (2) In order to prove that the patrols specified in the patrol manual have been carried out as prescribed, (3) In order to prove that the patrolmen were "when" and "where" It can be said that it is for the purpose other than the work assistant of the patrolman to prove objectively.

  However, when using a wireless tag that is attached to equipment and used as in the invention of Patent Document 1, if the tag is peeled off by mischief or fraud and moved from a regular position to another position, There may be a situation in which whether or not the inspection has been performed cannot be discriminated at least from the side that manages the patrolmen. In order to objectively prove the inspection quality that the inspection of the patrolmen was carried out correctly, it is ensured by an objective method that the tag exists in the position according to the patrol manual determined in advance with the customer. There must be. Under such circumstances, a further improved system that can be used for patrol work has been desired.

  The present invention has been made to solve the problems in the conventional patrol work described above, and assists the inspection work of the patrolmen without using a complicated mechanism such as a conventional patrol recorder and a clock key. In addition, a patrol work support system, patrol work support method, and patrol work support that objectively guarantees that the patrol work has been carried out correctly by the patrolman and can objectively prove the quality of the patrol work. The purpose is to provide a system program.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a traveling business support system (hereinafter also simply referred to as a system) of the first embodiment, a traveling business support system program for operating this system, or this system is used. A patrol work support method (hereinafter collectively referred to as a system or the like) will be described.

First, a tour operation targeted by the system and an outline of the system will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows a patrol area set in a building T that is a subject of patrol work. This traveling area is divided into a plurality of sections called inspection areas, as indicated by symbols A to F shown in the regions divided by the one-dot chain line in the figure. In each of the inspection areas A to F, inspection items to be inspected by the patrolmen are determined as indicated by symbols A to H in the figure. As indicated by the dashed arrows in the figure, the patrolman P patrols the inspection areas in a predetermined order, and inspects the inspection items A to F in the predetermined order in the inspection areas A to F.

  FIG. 2 shows a patrol area set outside (in the site) of the building T that is the object of the patrol work. Although details are not shown, this patrol area is also divided into a plurality of inspection areas, and a plurality of inspection items are defined for each inspection area. As indicated by the dashed arrows in the figure, the patrolman P patrols each inspection area in a predetermined order, and checks each inspection item in the predetermined order in each inspection area.

  In the example of the traveling area in the building T shown in FIG. 1, in the inspection area A, inspection item A is a window, inspection item A is ceiling lighting, inspection item C is a window, and inspection item D is a copy machine. In the inspection area B, the inspection item O is a window, and the inspection item F is ceiling lighting. In the inspection area C, the inspection item K is a door, the inspection item K is a safe, the inspection item K is a window, the inspection item K is a ceiling lighting, the inspection item S is a window, and the inspection item S is a ceiling lighting. In the inspection area D, the inspection item is a window. In the inspection area E, the inspection item section is a door, the inspection item S is ceiling lighting, and the inspection item T is a window. In the inspection area F, the inspection item H is an ashtray.

  It should be noted that for both inside and outside the building T, the inspection area classification in the traveling area and the inspection items in each inspection area are not distinguishable from the viewpoint of security. Absent.

  Although not shown in FIG. 1, in each inspection area A to F of the traveling area shown in FIG. 1, a marking device 1 that is an identification mark indicating each inspection area is arranged for each inspection area. . On the other hand, the patrol person P possesses the portable device 2 and patrols the inspection area in a predetermined order in the traveling areas A to F. The patrolman P reads the marking device 1 with the portable device 2 in each of the inspection areas A to F to identify each of the inspection areas A to F, and causes the portable device 2 to display the inspection items of the inspection areas A to F. Check. Although not shown in FIG. 1, there is a management room for managing the work of the patrolman P at a position different from the traveling areas A to F, and the management device 3 is installed there. The management device 3 is operated by a manager. During the patrol work, the management device 3 communicates with the mobile device 2 of the patrol officer P as appropriate, saves the inspection results, and the marking device 1 indicating each of the inspection areas A to F is in a proper position. The objective of guaranteeing that the patrol work by the patrolman P has been carried out regularly is performed.

Next, details of the system described above will be described with reference to FIG. 3 which is a block diagram of the system and FIG. 4 which shows a screen of the display input means of the portable device 2.
As shown in FIG. 3, a marking device 1 is provided in each inspection area A, B. The labeling device 1 is specifically configured by an identification tag such as an NFC tag, and stores identification information indicating that it is the labeling device 1 provided in each inspection area. It is possible to know in which inspection area the marker device 1 is provided by reading it closely by the reading device 2. It is preferable in terms of security that the sign device 1 is installed in such a manner that it is difficult for at least a third person to visually recognize it, such as being attached to a wall surface or being embedded in the back side of a wallpaper. It is assumed that the patrolman P knows in advance the position where the sign device 1 is installed. Here, the labeling device 1 does not necessarily mean a device having a mechanical or electronic internal structure such as an NFC tag, but may be any medium that can identify an inspection area. For example, various barcodes can be used as a simple configuration. In that case, in order to optically read the barcode, unlike the NFC tag, the barcode needs to be installed in a state that is visible in each inspection area.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 possessed by the patrolman P includes a control means 5 constituted by a microcomputer or the like as the first control means of the entire apparatus, and will be described below. The portable device 2 for this system can be obtained by reading the portable device program having the function into the control means 5. As such a portable device 2, a device specially developed for both hardware and software may be prepared. For example, an application for a portable device having a necessary function may be applied to a portable terminal such as a smartphone having the necessary function. It can also be installed and used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 includes a reading unit 6 that is controlled by the control unit 5 in order to read the labeling device 1 described above. The reading unit 6 is configured as a tag reader that reads information by proximity communication with the labeling device 1 as an NFC tag, for example. When the sign device 1 is a barcode or the like, the reading unit 6 is configured as an imaging unit that recognizes the barcode with a camera or the like. If the patrol person P brings the portable device 2 close to the sign device 1 during the patrol service, the reading means 6 can read the identification information of the sign device 1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile device 2 includes position information income means 7 a controlled by the control means 5 in order to acquire current position information indicating the current position of the mobile device 2. The principle of the position information income means 7a does not matter. The location information income means 7a can acquire the current location information regarding the current location of the mobile device 2 using, for example, GPS, Wi-Fi, and radio waves from a mobile phone base station.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 includes a step counting means 7 b that counts the number of steps of the patrolman P traveling in the traveling area with the portable device 2. This is provided as an alternative means when acquisition of the current position information by the position information income means 7a is not successful. That is, in this embodiment, the objective is to objectively guarantee that the patrol work by the patrolman in the patrol area has been performed correctly, and whether the sign apparatus 1 is in a predetermined position in order to achieve the purpose. In order to determine whether or not the sign device is abnormal by checking whether or not the position information income means 7a is provided in the portable device 2 as described above, the current position information can be acquired and compared with the default position information of the sign device 1. I have to. However, as already described, the location information income means 7a specifically acquires the current location information of the mobile device 2 using radio waves from GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile phone base stations, and the like. Therefore, depending on the reception conditions such as the number of receivable radio wave transmission sources (satellite, base station, etc.) and the intensity of the received radio wave, effective current position information may not be acquired. In such a case, in order to be able to achieve the above object, the step number information is used in an auxiliary manner in place of the position information. That is, the current step information obtained by counting the number of steps of the patrolman P who circulates with the portable device 2 is prepared so that it can be used at all times. If necessary, it is compared with the reference step information described later. It was made possible to judge the position error of the marking device.

  The step counting means 7b of the present embodiment has a built-in acceleration sensor, and the detected change in the acceleration of the patrolman P is processed by software, and the number of repetitions of acceleration increase / decrease is counted from the processing result. This is a device that counts the number of steps of the patrolman P, but of course this is only an example and does not limit the principle of counting the number of steps. Then, the control means 5 obtains the number of steps used for control in this system by appropriately calculating the number of steps of the patrolman P counted by the number of steps counting means 7b based on the time factor. For example, the step information may be step information related to the actual number of steps grasped for each inspection area, or per unit time obtained by dividing the actual number of steps grasped for each inspection area by the time required for walking. The number of steps information related to the number of steps may be used. In this case, specifically, the average number of steps per minute is calculated by dividing the number of steps required for inspection in the inspection area by the time required for inspection from the start to the end of each inspection area. Thereafter, if there is a difference greater than a predetermined value compared with “120 steps / minute” which is the reference step count information, it may be determined that the traveling pace is abnormal. In addition, it may be the number of steps related to the actual number of steps accumulated cumulatively from the start of patrol of the patrol area to the arrival of any inspection area. The number of steps may be information related to the number of steps per unit time obtained by dividing the actual number of steps accumulated cumulatively by the time required for walking. In this case, specifically, the average number of steps per minute is calculated by dividing the number of steps required for the inspection up to that point in time from the start of inspection of the patrol area. If there is a predetermined difference or more compared with “120 steps / minute” which is the step count information, it may be determined that the position of the sign device 1 is abnormal. Whichever is adopted as the step count information is arbitrary, but in any case, when the patrol person P patrols the patrol area and reads the sign device 1 in an arbitrary inspection area with the portable device 2, it is recognized at the time of the reading. Current step count information is acquired as step count information at the time.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 includes storage means 8 that is controlled by the control means 5. The storage means 8 stores data on inspection items and the like to be performed in each inspection area at the start of the patrol work. The portable device 2 may download data related to the inspection area and inspection items of the traveling area from the management device 3 in advance, and transmits that the sign device 1 has been read to the management device 3 via the mobile communication network. Then, data of inspection items in the inspection area may be received from the management device 3 each time. Further, the control means 5 obtains the identification information acquired by the reading means 6 recognizing the sign apparatus 1 during the patrol work, the recognition time when the sign apparatus 1 is recognized, and the position information income means 7a at the recognition time. The current position information obtained and the current step number information acquired by counting by the step number information counting unit 7b are stored in the storage unit 8 in association with each other. The time can be recognized by a clock in the control means 5.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 includes a communication unit 9 that is controlled by the control unit 5. The communication means 9 can communicate with the management apparatus 3 installed in the management room by an arbitrary method, and can transmit necessary information. In this system, in order to confirm whether or not the marking device 1 indicating each inspection area is in a proper position, the control unit 5 controls the identification information stored in association with the storage unit 8, the current position information, and the current number of steps. Information can be sent to the management device 3. In addition, the communication method of the communication means 9 is not ask | required. You may communicate directly by an electromagnetic wave, and you may communicate using the various telecommunication lines 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 includes display / input means as inspection item display means for displaying inspection items in an inspection area to be inspected and inspection information input means for setting inspection result information for the inspection items. 11 is provided. The inspection result information (hereinafter also simply referred to as inspection information) is set as the initial status of the inspection status of the inspection items in the inspection area, for example, remarks regarding the presence or absence of inspection and the state of inspection, or by the input of the patrolman P Information. The display / input unit 11 is a display device having a touch switch function, and is controlled by the control unit 5. During the patrol work, the patrolman P holds the portable device 2 over the marking device 1 in a certain inspection area, and when the reading device 6 of the portable device 2 recognizes the marking device 1, the inspection item data stored in the storage means 8 in advance is stored. The control means 5 reads out and displays inspection items on the inspection screen 11a as illustrated in FIG. The patrolman P looks at this display and checks so that there is no leakage. In addition, when there is a problem in the inspection result, the comment screen 11b illustrated in FIG. 4B is displayed as necessary, and the reason for the non-inspection is input. This assists the patrol work of the patrolman P.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the inspection items displayed on the inspection screen 11a are composed of inspection points (left column) and inspection contents of the inspection points (right column), each operated with a touch switch. A check field 12a and a comment button 12b are provided. The patrolman P confirms each inspection content at the inspection point for each item. For example, for the inspection point “southeast window”, the “inspection content” lock is inspected. A check in the check column indicates that the inspection has been completed without any problem. Actually, since there are more cases where there is no abnormality, the check column 12a is checked from the beginning as an initial value, and for the items to be recorded special notes during the sequential inspection, touch the check column 12a. Then, the check is removed, and then the comment button 12b is pressed to display the comment screen 11b shown in FIG. In the comment screen 11b, the reason why the check field 12a of the corresponding inspection item on the inspection screen 11a is not checked can be recorded by checking the check field 12c or describing it in the free input field 12d. After the comment screen 11b is entered, the confirmation button 12e is pressed to return to the inspection screen 11a. When a check or comment is recorded on the inspection screen 11a, the comment button 12b of the corresponding inspection item on the returned inspection screen 11a is displayed in a color different from that before the comment recording. As a result, the check column 12a of the inspection screen 11a is not checked, but there is a record in the comment screen 11b, and it can be seen that the work for this inspection item has been completed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the portable device 2 includes an inspection determination unit 13 that determines whether inspection of the inspection area has ended in response to input of inspection information on the inspection screen 11 a and the like. The inspection determination means 13 is configured such that the end button 12f is pressed on the inspection screen 11a of the display / input means 11 shown in FIG. 4 (a) or the patrol person P advances to the next inspection area and the marking device 1 in the inspection area. When the mobile device 2 is held over and the next identification information is read out, these operations are triggered to execute the end determination. In the end determination, if all check fields 12a are checked in the inspection screen 11a of the display / input means 11, or if there is a comment in the comment screen 11b even if there is no check, the inspection of the inspection item is completed. It is determined that On the other hand, if the check box 12a of the inspection screen 11a is not checked and no comment is entered, it is determined that the inspection is omission (not the end of the inspection), and that fact is displayed on the display / input means 11. . When the inspection determination unit 13 determines the end, if the patrolman P proceeds to the next inspection area and reads the next identification information, the identification information is properly read into the storage unit 8 together with the recognition time. Further, when it is determined that the end button 12f has been pressed, the patrolman P can proceed to the next inspection area, read the next identification information, and perform the inspection work.

  When the inspection determination unit 13 determines that the inspection is finished, the inspection result is managed by the communication unit 9 shown in FIG. 3 together with the identification information, the position information, and the step number information stored at the time of recognition of the sign device 1 in the inspection area. It is transmitted to the room management device 3 for storage and management.

  The control means 5 of the portable device 2 shown in FIG. 3 is a means for comprehensively controlling each part of the portable device 2 as described above, but the current position information acquired by the position information acquisition means 7a is valid. It has a function as position information determination means for determining whether or not it is a thing, and based on the result, as position information for determining the position abnormality of the installation position of the marking device 1, effective position information and It also has a function of controlling the communication means 9 so as to transmit the step count information to the management device 3. That is, when it is determined that the effective current position information has been acquired by the position information acquisition means 7a, the control means 5 transmits at least the identification information associated with the effective current position information to the communication means 9 and the telecommunication line. 10 is transmitted to the management apparatus 3 via the network 10, but the reception conditions such as the number of receivable radio wave sources and the intensity of received radio waves are not in a preferable state, and it is determined that valid current position information has not been acquired. Controls to transmit the associated identification information and current step count information to the management device 3.

  The management apparatus 3 shown in FIG. 3 is arranged in a management room installed at a location away from the traveling areas A, B. The management device 3 includes a control unit 15 configured by a microcomputer or the like as a second control unit of the entire apparatus, and a management device program having functions as described below is stored in the control unit 15. By reading, it can be set as the management apparatus 3 for this system. As such a management apparatus 3, a management apparatus application having functions necessary for a personal computer can be installed and used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the management device 3 includes storage means 16 that stores in advance preset position information indicating the position of each marker device 1 and reference step count information of each marker device 1. In the example of the traveling area in the building T shown in FIG. 1, in each of the inspection areas A to F, the position information of the position where the marking device 1 is actually installed is stored in the storage unit 16 as the default position information. .

  In addition, the reference step number information of the sign device is information indicating the number of steps necessary for the patrolman P to reach the sign device in the inspection area when the patrol man P makes a patrol at a standard traveling speed. I mean. By comparing the reference number of steps information until reaching the sign device and the current number of steps information, it is possible to determine the possibility that the installation position of the sign device has changed. Here, the reference number of steps information may be the actual number of steps grasped for each inspection area, the number of steps per unit time for each inspection area, or the patrol of the traveling area may be started, similar to the current step information described above. The cumulative number of steps from the start of the tour to the inspection area may be used, or the number of steps per unit time from the start of the tour to the inspection area may be used. Further, the reference number of steps common to each inspection area may be used, or the number of steps per unit time common to each inspection area may be used. Of course, the reference step number information and the current step number information must have the same contents. In the example of the traveling area in the building T shown in FIG. 1, the reference step number information is stored in the storage unit 16 for each of the marking devices 1 actually installed in each of the inspection areas A to F.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the management apparatus 3 includes a communication unit 17 that is controlled by the control unit 15. The communication means 17 can communicate with the portable device 2 carried by the patrol person P who circulates in the traveling area through the telecommunication line 10 or any means, and can transmit necessary information. In this system, in order to confirm whether or not the marker device 1 indicating each inspection area is in a proper position, the control unit 15 controls the associated identification information, the current position information, and the current step count information to the portable device 2. Can be obtained by communication. In addition, inspection result data can be acquired from the portable device 2 by communication, stored, managed, and printed out by a printing unit as necessary.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the management device 3 includes a location information comparison unit 18 a that is controlled by the control unit 15 and compares the current location information acquired from the portable device 2 with the default location information in the storage unit 16. . The control unit 15 identifies the marker device 1 from the identification information acquired from the portable device 2, reads out the specified default position information of the identified marker device 1 from the storage unit 16, and acquires it from the portable device 2 in the position information comparison unit 18 a. The read current position information is compared with the read default position information.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the management device 3 includes a position determination unit 19 a that is controlled by the control unit 15. The position determination means 19a determines that the position where the marker device 1 is provided in the inspection area is abnormal when the result of the comparison by the position information comparison means 18a exceeds a predetermined range. This determination result is displayed on a display device (not shown) of the management device 3 to alert the manager. Further, if necessary, the determination result is transmitted to the portable device 2 via the communication means 17 and the telecommunication line 10, and the determination result is displayed on the display / input means 11 of the portable device 2 so as to call the patrolman P. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the management device 3 includes a step number information comparison unit 18 b that is controlled by the control unit 15 and compares the current step number information acquired from the portable device 2 with the reference step number information in the storage unit 16. . The control unit 15 identifies the marker device 1 from the identification information acquired from the portable device 2, reads the reference step number information of the identified marker device 1 from the storage unit 16, and acquires it from the portable device 2 in the step number information comparison unit 18b. The current step count information and the read reference step count information are compared.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the management apparatus 3 includes a step count determination unit 19 b controlled by the control unit 15. The step number determination means 19b determines that the position of the marker device 1 is abnormal when the result of the comparison by the step number information comparison means 18b is out of the predetermined range, that is, exceeds or falls below the predetermined range. . This determination result is displayed on a display device (not shown) of the management device 3 to alert the manager. Further, if necessary, the determination result is transmitted to the portable device 2 via the communication means 17 and the telecommunication line 10, and the determination result is displayed on the display / input means 11 of the portable device 2 so as to call the patrolman P. .

Next, an example of the operation of this system will be described with reference to FIG. 5 showing an example of the operation sequence of this system.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the traveling work procedure on the portable device 2 side, first, when starting the traveling work, the portable device 2 stores data relating to inspection items in all the inspection areas (S1). The data storage means may be a download from the management device 3 in the management room or a download from another management server or the like, and a storage medium storing data relating to inspection items is connected to the portable device 2. You may do it.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the patrol person P carrying the portable device 2 starts patrol of the patrol area (S2). The patrolman P holds the portable device 2 over the marker device 1 in the first inspection area (inspection area A in the example of FIG. 1) and reads the identification information (S3). At the same time, the portable device 2 acquires the current step count information at the time of reading based on the count by the step count counting means 7a (S4), and acquires the current position information at the time of reading by the position information income means 7a (S5). . The control means 5 of the portable device 2 determines whether or not the current position information acquired in S5 is valid. If it is determined to be valid (S5, OK), the identification information of the marking device 1, the current position information, and the recognition time that is the time of reading are associated and stored in the storage means 8 (S7). Here, when the control means 5 of the portable device 2 determines that the current position information acquired in S5 is not valid (S5, NG), the position abnormality of the marker device 1 can be determined based on the position information. Since this is not possible, the process proceeds to determination based on the step count information in order to determine the position abnormality of the sign device 1 based on the number of steps of the patrolman P (S6). The determination based on the step count information will be described after the determination based on the position information is described. Note that the current position information is not valid includes a case where it is determined that the acquired current position information cannot be used for determination in accordance with a predetermined standard, and a case where the current position information cannot be acquired at all.

  Further, when the portable device 2 recognizes the sign device 1, the data of the inspection items stored in the storage unit 8 of the portable device 2 is read, and the inspection items are displayed on the inspection screen as illustrated in FIG. 11a. The patrolman P looks at this display and performs inspection so that there is no omission, and inputs inspection information such as necessary comments on the comment screen illustrated in FIG. 4B as necessary (S8). Since it is not necessary to memorize the inspection items, the patrolman P has less mental burden and can concentrate on the inspection work. When the input of the result for the inspection item is completed and the patrolman P presses the end button 12f, the inspection determination means 13 of the portable device 2 performs the end determination, and if it is determined that the inspection is completed (S9), When the identification information, the recognition time, and the current position information associated with each other are transmitted to the management device 3 and it is confirmed that the information is stored and saved in the storage unit 16 of the management device 3, the information is on the portable device 2 side. These pieces of information are deleted (S10).

  As described above, the information acquired or input by the portable device 2 and transmitted to the management device 3 from this information is deleted after transmission. This information is important information with high confidentiality. Regardless, since the portable device 2 storing such important information is difficult to reduce the possibility of loss as long as the patrolman P is carrying it, the management device 3 from the viewpoint of ensuring security. This is because it is considered that it is most appropriate to delete the information from the portable device 2 immediately after the transmission. Of course, after the inspection of the entire patrol area is completed, necessary information is transmitted to the management device 3 in a lump, and then information on each inspection area is erased from the portable device 2 at the same time for information management. Since a certain level of safety can be ensured, the present embodiment may be modified as such. However, as in this system, each time the inspection in each inspection area is completed, the information transmitted to the management device 3 and the information stored in the portable device 2 are erased. It is more desirable in terms of information security management because it is shorter. Also, in the management room, if you send information at the end of each inspection in the inspection area, it is possible to detect incomplete inspection information and detect the position error of the sign device 1 earlier, which is necessary earlier. Since it is possible to instruct the patrol person P to take appropriate actions, the quality of the patrol work itself is also improved.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the cyclic operation procedure on the management device 3 side, the inspection information transmitted from the portable device 2, the identification information of the inspection area, the recognition time, and the current position information are stored in the storage unit 16. Save (S11). The control unit 15 of the management device 3 identifies the marking device 1 in the inspection area related to the sent inspection information based on the identification information acquired from the portable device 2, and stores the specified position information of the identified marking device 1 from the storage unit 16. Read (S12). Then, the control unit 15 controls the position information comparison unit 18a to compare the current position information with the read default position information, perform the determination by the position determination unit 19a, and if there is an abnormality, the display screen of the management device 3 An alarm is issued by the display / input means 11 of the portable device 2 (S13).

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the traveling work procedure on the portable device 2 side, if the inspection end determination is made, the traveling person P proceeds to the next inspection area in order to perform the inspection work in the next inspection area. The identification information of the labeling device 1 can be read and the identification information can be read (S14). That is, the identification information of the next inspection area can be read normally, and the identification information, the recognition time, the current position information, and the current step count information can be properly stored in the storage unit 8 of the portable device 2. Inspection items in the inspection area can be called up and displayed on the display / input means 11. However, when the portable terminal is brought close to the sign device 1 in the next inspection area, the inspection is not completed in step S9, and if the inspection end determination cannot be made (if the processing in S9 and S10 has not been performed), Assuming that the inspection status of the inspection area is NG, it is not possible to proceed to the next inspection area. In that case, it is necessary to input the inspection information again (S8).

  The procedure in the portable device 2 after it is determined that the inspection is finished (S9) and proceeds to the next inspection area and the identification information of the marker device 1 is read is the same as the contents described in steps S4 to S10. The inspection by the patrolman P is completed for all inspection areas (S15), and when the processing in the management device 3 is completed, the inspection is also completed in the management device 3 (S16). Thereafter, the management device 3 performs necessary output such as displaying inspection information or printing it as a form as necessary, and the patrol work is completed (S17).

  When the control means 5 of the portable device 2 determines that the current position information acquired in S5 is not valid (S5, NG), the process proceeds to determination based on step count information (S6). In the following description, in FIG. 5 which mainly illustrates the flow of control based on position information, “position information” is read as “step count information”, and the figure is referred to as necessary. The number-of-steps information of the present embodiment is, for example, the actual number of steps for each inspection area. Here, the number of steps up to the identification device of the first inspection area is acquired as current step count information, and is compared with the reference step count information later to determine whether the position of the marker device has changed. Further, the current step count information (S4) at the start of the inspection of the first inspection area is an initial value, and when determining the position of the marker device (the marker device read in step S14) in the next inspection area, The number of steps associated with the inspection of the inspection area is acquired as the current step number information based on the difference between the step number information acquired when the inspection area marking device is read and the initial value. The identification information of the marker device 1, the current step count information, and the recognition time that is the time of reading are associated and stored in the storage means 16 (S7). Input of inspection information (S8) and subsequent inspection end determination (S9) are the same as in the case of control by position information, and it is confirmed that the information is stored and saved in the storage means 16 of the management device 3. For example, it is the same that the information on the portable device 2 side is deleted (S10).

  In the traveling operation procedure on the management device 3 side, the inspection information transmitted from the portable device 2, the identification information of the inspection area, the recognition time and the current step count information are stored and stored in the storage means 16 (S11). The control unit 15 of the management device 3 identifies the marking device 1 in the inspection area related to the sent inspection information based on the identification information acquired from the portable device 2, and stores the reference step count information of the identified marking device 1 from the storage unit 16. Read (S12). Then, the control unit 15 controls the step number information comparison unit 18b to compare the current step number information with the read reference step number information, perform the determination by the step number determination unit 19b, and if there is an abnormality, the display screen of the management device 3 An alarm is issued by the display / input means 11 of the portable device 2 (S13). Subsequent control is the same as in the case of control based on position information, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  As described above, in this system, since the marking device 1 (identification tag) provided in each inspection area of the traveling area may be moved, the identification tag is read by the portable device 2 carried by the patrolman P. As a result, the management device 3 performs the location certification of the identification tag. That is, when the identification tag is read by the portable device 2 such as a smartphone, the current position information of the portable device 2 and the identification information (ID information) of the identification tag are recorded, and whether the identification tag is in the default position where it was originally installed. Whether or not it can be checked not only by the mobile device 2 of the patrolman P but also by the management device 3 in the management room.

  For this reason, according to the present system, it is possible to confirm not only the patrolman P but also the management device 3 that the position of the identification tag (that is, the position where the inspection has been performed) is as specified, and the identification tag can be identified by mischief or fraud. Even when the tag has been moved from the regular position, it can be definitely determined from the side managing the patrolman P whether or not the inspection has been correctly performed in each inspection area. As a result, it is possible to objectively guarantee that the patrol work by the patrolman P is correctly performed, and thus to obtain an effect of objectively proving the quality of the patrol work.

  Furthermore, in this system, it is assumed that the position information acquisition means 7a using GPS or the like cannot acquire effective current position information due to various conditions such as a radio wave environment. That is, according to this system, the number of steps of the patrolman P is constantly counted by the step count counting means 7b, and the current step count information is acquired based on the count result, so that position information based on GPS or the like cannot be used. Even so, it is possible to determine the position abnormality of the marker device 1 based on the current step count information. Therefore, it is possible to reduce as much as possible the possibility that it is impossible to detect the position abnormality of the sign device 1, and the objective proof of the quality of the patrol work is further ensured.

  In this system, the management device 3 acquires information from the portable device 2 of the patrolman P and determines the position abnormality of the identification tag on the management room side. However, as in the second embodiment described later. The position abnormality of the identification tag may be determined on the portable device 2 side of the patrolman P. Further, in this system, an identification tag as the marking device 1 is provided on the wall or the like of the inspection area, and this is read by the portable device 2 (smartphone or the like) possessed by the patrolman P. As in the third embodiment, the signage device 1 installed on the wall is a computer having a tag reader, an identification tag is provided on the side of the mobile device 2 of the patrolman P, and the computer in each inspection area is the mobile device 2.

To do. The result is judged by the position judging means 19a, and if there is an abnormality, an alarm is issued on the screen of each display / input means 11 of the marker device 21 and the portable device 22. In addition, a communication unit (not shown) notifies a management room (not shown). When the control means 23 of the portable device 22 determines that the acquired current position information is not valid, the determination is performed based on the step count information as will be described later.

  If the marking device 21 recognizes the portable device 22 and no abnormalities are found in the position of the marking device 21 as a result of the data processing, the inspection item data stored in the storage means 24 of the portable device 22 is read. Then, the inspection item is displayed on the inspection screen 11 a of the display / input means 11 of the portable device 22. The patrolman P looks at this display and performs an inspection so that there is no omission, and inputs necessary comments on the comment screen as necessary. Since it is not necessary to memorize the inspection items, the patrolman P has less mental burden and can concentrate on the inspection work. If the input of the result for the inspection item is completed, the inspection information stored in the storage means 24 is transmitted to the labeling device 21 by proximity communication when the labeling device 21 in the next inspection area is recognized. In 21, the end determination is performed by the inspection determination means 13. If it is determined that the inspection is completed, the inspection information is stored and saved at a predetermined position in the storage means 26.

As a result, the portable device 22 can perform inspection work by calling inspection items in the next inspection area and displaying them on the display / input means 11. However, if the inspection is not completed and the inspection end determination cannot be made, it is assumed that the inspection status of the inspection area is NG, and the sign device 21 in the next inspection area does not determine the end of the inspection, and the inspection information An error message prompting input is displayed on the display / input means 11. In that case, the sign device 21 does not store the recognition time and the current position information, and the patrolman P needs to input the inspection information again.

  Subsequent procedures in the portable device 22 and the labeling device 21 after it is determined that the inspection is finished are the same as those described above. When the inspection by the patrolman P is completed for all the inspection areas, the patrol work of the patrolman P is completed. Since the transmission of data from each portable device 22 to the portable device 21 and the transmission of data from the portable device 21 to the management device are performed every time the inspection in each inspection area is completed, the inspection in the last inspection area is performed. When the process is completed, all necessary data is collected in the management apparatus. The management device performs necessary output in the form of a form or the like for necessary data such as the collected inspection data and the position abnormality data of each marking device 21.

  When the control device 23 of the portable device 22 determines that the current position information acquired by the portable device 22 is not valid when the sign device 21 reads the identification tag 30 of the portable device 22 in the inspection area, the number of steps Move to judgment by information. In the determination based on the step count information, the number of steps from when the immediately preceding sign device is recognized until the current sign device is recognized is transmitted to the sign device as current step count information. At the time of recognition by the first marking device 21 in the traveling area, the number of steps may not be compared since no inspection has been performed yet, and the number of steps to reach the first marking device is transmitted as current step number information. May be.

  In this case, when the marking device 21 recognizes the portable device 22, the inspection item data stored in the storage unit 24 of the portable device 22 is read, and the inspection item is checked by the display / input unit 11 of the portable device 22. It is displayed on the screen 11a. The patrolman P looks at this display and performs an inspection so that there is no omission, and inputs necessary comments on the comment screen as necessary. Since it is not necessary to memorize the inspection items, the patrolman P has less mental burden and can concentrate on the inspection work. If the input of the result for the inspection item is completed, the current position information is acquired when the sign device 21 in the next inspection area is recognized, and if it is determined that the current position information is not valid, the storage unit 24 And the current step count information in the inspection area are transmitted to the marking device 21 by proximity communication. Then, the end determination is performed by the inspection determination means 13 in the marking device 21. If it is determined that the inspection is completed, the inspection information is stored and saved at a predetermined position in the storage means 26. These pieces of information are transmitted to a management room (not shown) by communication means (not shown). At this time, the inspection information in the storage unit 24 of the portable device 22 and the data of the inspection items related to the inspection area are deleted for information management reasons.

  When it is determined that the inspection is completed, the sign device 21 stores the acquired current step information in the storage unit 26 in association with the recognition time and the identification information, and also stores the current step number information and the reference step number information in the storage unit 26. The number of steps information comparison means 18b compares. The result is judged by the step count judging means 19b, and if there is an abnormality, an alarm is issued on the screen of each display / input means 11 of the sign device 21 and the portable device 22. In addition, a communication unit (not shown) notifies a management room (not shown).

  Thus, if the inspection of the previous inspection area has been completed, the patrolman P can proceed to the next inspection area, cause the marking device 21 to read the identification tag 30, and perform the inspection work for the next inspection area. . That is, if the sign device 21 in the next inspection area determines the end of inspection and reads the identification tag 30 properly, it is determined whether the position information can be acquired effectively, and the accuracy of the position information cannot be obtained. The recognition time and the current step count information can be properly stored in the storage means 26 of the marking device 21, and the marking device 21 determines whether or not the installation position is abnormal. As a result, the portable device 22 can perform inspection work by calling inspection items in the next inspection area and displaying them on the display / input means 11. However, if the inspection is not completed and the inspection end determination cannot be made, it is assumed that the inspection status of the inspection area is NG, and the sign device 21 in the next inspection area does not determine the end of the inspection, and the inspection information An error message prompting input is displayed on the display / input means 11. In that case, the sign device 21 does not store the recognition time and current step count information, and the patrolman P needs to input the inspection information again.

  Subsequent procedures in the portable device 22 and the labeling device 21 after it is determined that the inspection is finished are the same as those described above. When the inspection by the patrolman P is completed for all the inspection areas, the patrol work of the patrolman P is completed. Since transmission of data from each portable device 22 to the management device via the labeling device 21 is performed every time inspection in each inspection area is completed, the management device is completed when inspection in the last inspection area is completed. All the necessary data is collected in. The management device performs necessary output in the form of a form or the like for necessary data such as the collected inspection data and the position abnormality data of each marking device 21.

  According to the present system, each inspection area of the traveling area is provided with a labeling device 21 configured as a computer with a reading device, and a patrolman P has a portable device 22 provided with an identification tag 30 on a smartphone and patrols the inspection area. Thus, it is possible to reliably determine whether or not the inspection has been correctly performed in each inspection area at the site and the management room, and the patrolman P who has received the assistance can also reliably perform the inspection work with a small burden.

  As described above, in the present system, the labeling device 21 provided in each inspection area of the patrol area recognizes the identification tag 30 of the portable device 22 carried by the patrolman P, so The position of the marking device 21 is verified. That is, when the labeling device 21 recognizes the identification tag 30 such as a smartphone possessed by the patrolman P, the signing device 21 displays the effective current position information that the portable device 22 has and the default position information that the signing device 21 has. Even if the current position information cannot be acquired effectively due to problems such as radio wave reception environment, the current step count information of the portable device 22 and the reference step count information possessed by the labeling device 21 are used in the sign device. 21 can be compared immediately on the spot. As a result, it is possible for the patrolman P who is traveling to check whether or not the sign device 21 is in the predetermined position where it was originally installed, immediately on the spot and irrespective of the radio wave reception environment or the like. If the sign device 21 has been moved from the proper position due to mischief or cheating, the patrol person P can know the fact on the spot in each inspection area, and can immediately take appropriate measures. .

  In the third embodiment described above, the position information comparison means 18a, the position determination means 19a, the step count information comparison means 18b, the step count determination means 19b, and the inspection determination means 13 are provided for each of the marker devices 21, but these May be provided only in the management device 3 of the management room as a shared configuration for each labeling device 21.
