  First, in the optical fiber network management apparatus 1, the person in charge starts a program for an optical fiber network management application (step S1). Thus, the optical fiber network management apparatus 1 has the function of the optical fiber network management application unit 14. If the person in charge connects the trunk cable and drop cable using a trunk cable, drop cable, and closure during the course of the construction, the barcode attached to the trunk cable and the drop cable are attached. The bar code attached to and the bar code attached to the closure are read using the optical fiber network management device 1 (step S2). In this reading, the reader 13 operates by inputting a reading instruction from the person in charge to the optical fiber network management apparatus 1. When the IDs represented by the barcodes are sequentially read, the reader 13 temporarily records the read IDs in a memory or the like in the optical fiber network management device 1 (step S3).

  Similarly, when the person in charge connects two optical fiber core wires using two optical fiber core wires and an optical coupler during the construction process, the person in charge attaches to one of the optical fiber core wires. The bar code attached to the other optical fiber core wire and the bar code attached to the optical coupler are read using the optical fiber network management device 1.

Record temporarily.

  The person in charge of construction works as described above in each connection work or reconfirmation of the connection state after work (in the above example, a trunk cable and a drop cable or two optical fiber cores). Line) and each ID of the connection point device used for the connection are read using the optical fiber network management device 1, the read completion is input to the optical fiber network management device 1 (step S <b> 4). Then, the optical fiber network management application unit 14 instructs the display unit 12 to output a confirmation screen as to whether or not to perform database registration to the display. Then, when the person in charge instructs the database registration start using the confirmation screen output from the display unit 12 to the display, the optical fiber network management application unit 14 temporarily stores the connection and the connection recorded in the memory. Each ID of the used connection point device is associated and registered in the database 16 (step S5). If the database 16 exists remotely via a communication network, the optical fiber network management device 1 may perform processing for registering in the remote database via a communication processing unit or the like.

  The person in charge of construction may register the information on the connection position using the optical fiber network management device 1. In this case, when receiving an instruction to start database registration, the optical fiber network management apparatus 1 uses the position detection unit 15 to detect the latitude and longitude of the connection point (the point where the optical fiber network management apparatus 1 is located). Then, at the time of registration in the database, the optical fiber network management application unit 14 registers the position information in the database 16 in association with the connection and the ID of the connection point device used for the connection.

In addition, data can be registered according to the progress of construction, so it is possible to retrieve information from the database without waiting for the completion of construction and respond to urgent requests when outputting information related to construction of other optical fiber networks. can do. Further, since the position information is registered by detecting the position information by the GPS system, it is possible to reduce the labor of acquisition and registration of the position information. Further, since the database can be completed while accumulating data during the construction, it is not necessary to create a database as an origin in advance.

  In addition, the information registered in the database represents the laying status of the trunk cable, drop cable, and connection point device on the map by displaying, for example, a pattern based on the ID on the map based on the position information. Used for processing to output an image.
