FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flow of a series of processes in the construction photo providing system 1.
After describing the overall processing flow with reference to FIG. 7, the processing performed in each of the devices 2, 3, and 5 will be described individually.

  First, when a contractor receives a request for a construction work from the contractor, the construction contractor makes a construction work plan and determines a process necessary for the construction work. Then, in the contractor terminal 3, when the contractor terminal 3 inputs the construction information and process information related to the construction work, and the design drawing creation operation is performed, as shown in FIG. Process information is registered and process management is performed, and design drawing data is generated (step R1). The blueprint data is transmitted (uploaded) to the image management apparatus 2.

  In the image management apparatus 2, a CG image showing a completed predicted drawing after construction work is created and stored based on the data of the design drawing (step R2). A password is set in this CG image so that only the construction owner can view it on the website, and the CG image is displayed in a form that can be viewed only when authenticated by a combination of this password and the construction owner code. The Since the password is notified to the contractor from the contractor along with the information of the contractor code, the contractor performs an access operation to the website that publishes the CG image on the contractor terminal 5, and the password and the contractor code are entered. input.

  In the image management apparatus 2, when an access operation is received from the construction main terminal 5, the construction owner is authenticated by the password and the construction main code, and then a CG image viewing screen is transmitted to the construction main terminal 5. The construction main terminal 5 displays a CG image browsing screen. On this browsing screen, it is possible for the contractor to designate a shooting scene for which the construction status, the construction result, and the like are to be confirmed. When the designation input is made at the construction main terminal 5 (step R4), an image corresponding to the designated shooting scene is captured from the CG image, and the captured image is transmitted to the image management apparatus 2.

  In the image management apparatus 2, the capture image acquired from the construction main terminal 5 is stored (step R5). The captured image is further transmitted to the contractor terminal 3 and is captured by the camera 4 via the contractor terminal 3 (step R6). Since the captured image is displayed on the camera 4, the contractor can perform shooting according to the shooting scene desired by the contractor based on the captured image.

  Then, when shooting is performed by the camera 4 and the captured image is generated (step R7), the captured image is transferred to the contractor terminal 3 and further transferred to the image management device 2 by the contractor terminal 3 (step S7). R8). In the image management apparatus 2, the transferred captured image is stored in association with the captured image. Moreover, the process information which concerns on a picked-up image is acquired from the contractor terminal 3, and this process information and a picked-up image are matched and preserve | saved (step R9). As in the case of the above-described CG image, the stored photographed image is disclosed on the Web so that only the construction owner and the construction contractor related to the construction work can be viewed by the password, the construction owner code, the construction contractor code, and the like.

  In the image management device 2, when an access operation is received from the construction owner terminal 5, the construction owner is authenticated by a password, a construction owner code, etc., and a browsing screen is created that allows a captured image to be searched by a captured image. It is transmitted to the terminal 5. When the selection information of the captured image selected and operated on the browsing screen is received from the construction main terminal 5, a captured image corresponding to the capture image is transmitted to the construction main terminal 5. The construction main terminal 5 displays the captured image received from the image management apparatus 2 and provides it for browsing (step R10).

  On the other hand, the contractor terminal 3 displays a process management screen related to the construction work by starting the process management program, and a photographed image can be viewed from the process management screen. The process management screen is configured so that each process in the construction work can be selected, and selection information of the process selected and operated on this screen is transmitted to the image management apparatus 2. In the image management device 2, when the process selection information is received, a photographed image corresponding to the process is transmitted to the contractor terminal 3, so that the photographed image is displayed on the contractor terminal 3 for viewing. (Step R11).

Next, processing performed in each device 2, 3, 5 will be described individually.
First, with reference to FIG. 8, the imaging | photography designation | designated process performed in the construction main terminal 5 is demonstrated. The shooting designation process corresponds to the process of steps R3 and R4 in FIG.

  As a premise of the description, the construction main terminal 5 acquires a CG image viewing control program together with the CG image from the image management device 2 in advance, and starts the program to view a construction property CG image viewing screen as shown in FIG. It is assumed that d2 is displayed on the display unit. The CG image is accompanied by information related to the CG image such as the construction name, construction number, and construction property position name.

  As shown in FIG. 9, on the viewing screen d2, it is possible to display a captured image d21 obtained by capturing a CG image from various positions and directions, and an operation button group d22 for changing the capture position and direction. It is included. Further, a construction name d26 of the construction work, position information d25 indicating which position of the currently displayed captured image d21 corresponds to the construction object, and a transmission button d24 are displayed. The construction name d26 and the position information d25 are acquired from the incidental information of the CG image. The send button d24 is a button for designating the capture image d21 as a construction photo shooting scene.

  On the left side of the captured image d21, a guide display d23 for determining at which position the captured image d21 is captured from which direction is provided. The guide display d23 is an arrow displayed on the floor plan (plan view) of the construction property, and indicates the position and direction of capture by this arrow, that is, the shooting position and shooting direction of the construction photograph.

  The contractor refers to the captured image d21 displayed on the browsing screen d2 and operates the operation button group d22 while referring to the guide display d23 in order to change the capture position and direction. In the contractor terminal 3, the CG image is recaptured at the position and direction changed according to the changing operation, and the new captured image is updated and displayed on the browsing screen d2. The contractor repeats such a change operation until the capture image d21 corresponding to the desired shooting scene is displayed, and operates the transmission button d24. When the send button d24 is operated, the construction main terminal 5 starts the photographing designation process shown in FIG.

  In the photographing designation process shown in FIG. 8, when the transmission button d24 is pressed on the browsing screen d2 (step S11; Y), a file name is given to the captured image d21 being displayed (step S12), and A position designation number is assigned to the captured image (step S13). The file name is given a number issued in sequential order in the captured order. Further, the position designation number is issued sequentially in the order in which the photographing scenes are designated, and a plurality of captured images d21 designated as photographing scenes in a certain construction can be individually identified by this number.

Next, the construction name, construction number, and position information d25 of the construction work corresponding to the captured image d21 to which the file name is assigned are acquired from the incidental information of the CG image. These pieces of information are attached to the captured image d21 together with information on the position designation number assigned to the captured image d21, and are transmitted to the image management apparatus 2 (step S14).
The processes in steps S11 to S14 are repeated every time a shooting scene is designated.

Next, a captured image storage process executed in the image management apparatus 2 to which the captured image is transmitted from the construction main terminal 5 will be described with reference to FIG. This captured image saving process is a process corresponding to step R5 in FIG.
In the captured image saving process shown in FIG. 10, when request information for requesting reception of a captured image is received from the construction main terminal 5 (step S21; Y), the construction name of the construction work together with the captured image from the construction main terminal 5 The construction number, the position designation number, and the position information are received via the communication unit 22.

  The received captured image is stored in the captured image storage area 232 by the control unit 21 (step S22). At this time, a transparent image obtained by performing a transparent process on the captured image is created by the control unit 21 and stored together with the captured image. This transparent image is created for display as a guide when taking a construction photograph.

  On the other hand, the construction name, construction number, position designation number, and position information received together with the captured image are stored in the capture management file 23a in association with each other by the control unit 21. Then, when the capture management file 23a is updated (step S23), this process ends.

  The captured image and the transparent image stored in this way are stored together with each item information (hereinafter referred to as capture management information) of the work number, work name, position designation number, and position information stored in the capture management file 23a. The image is transferred from the image management apparatus 2 to the contractor terminal 3. In the contractor terminal 3, a process of transferring the captured image received from the image management apparatus 2, its transmission image, and capture management information to the camera 4 connected via the I / F 36 is performed.

Next, photographing processing executed in the camera 4 will be described with reference to FIG. This photographing process is a process corresponding to steps R6, R7, and R8 in FIG.
In the photographing process shown in FIG. 11, it is first determined whether or not request information for a capture image capture request has been input from the contractor terminal 3 (step S31). If the request information has been input (step S31; Y) Capture images and capture management information are fetched from the contractor terminal 3 (step S32). The captured captured image and capture management information are stored in the storage unit in the camera 4.

  When the capture of the captured image is completed, the construction number is selectively displayed as a list on the display display of the camera 4 based on the capture management information (step S33). If no capture image capture request is made in step S31 (step S31; N), the construction number (or construction name is based on the capture management information of the captured image that has already been captured and saved). May be displayed (step S33).

  Then, when one construction number is selected from the list displayed by the photographer (step S34; Y), a position designation number (or position information) corresponding to the construction number selected based on the capture management information. May be selectively displayed as a list (step S35). When one position designation number is further selected from these (step S36; Y), a captured image corresponding to the selected position designation number is displayed on the display (step S37).

  With this displayed captured image, the photographer can confirm the photographing scene to be photographed, that is, the photographing position and direction. Note that the captured image can be displayed by switching to the transparent image. By displaying the transparent image superimposed on the display on which the captured image is displayed as a viewfinder at the time of shooting, the photographer can perform shooting so that the transparent image and the captured image are matched. That is, it is possible to use a transmission image as a guide for photographing.

  When the photographer performs a shooting instruction operation (step S38; Y), the camera 4 performs a shooting operation to generate a shot image. Then, a file name composed of the selected construction number, position designation number, and shooting date / time is given to the captured image and stored in the storage unit of the camera 4 (step S39).

  Thereafter, when the photographer connects the camera 4 to the I / F 36 of the contractor terminal 3 and performs a transfer operation of the photographed image, the contractor terminal 3 associates the photographed image received from the camera 4 with the photographed image. The construction process is associated with the process.

  With reference to FIG. 12, the process setting process performed in the contractor terminal 3 is demonstrated. This process is a process of associating a captured image with a process associated with the captured image in the course of construction work and transferring it to the image management apparatus 2, and corresponds to step R8 shown in FIG.

  In the process setting process illustrated in FIG. 12, when a captured image is input from the camera 4 via the I / F 36, a process setting screen is displayed on the display unit 33. When a construction number designation operation is performed on the process setting screen via the operation unit 32 (step S41), the input file name of each captured image is referred to by the control unit 31 and includes the designated construction number. File names to be acquired are acquired (step S42) and displayed as a list on the display unit 33 (step S43).

  The operator determines the process associated with each captured image based on the file name of the captured image displayed in a list. For each process, the start and end times of the construction period are set, and the file name of the photographed image is composed of the construction number, the position designation number, and the photographing date and time. It is possible to determine whether it is related to the process. The captured image itself may be displayed and discriminated. For a captured image in which the related process can be identified, the operator inputs a process number indicating the process.

  In the contractor terminal 3, when a process number related to the file name of each photographed image is input via the operation unit 32, the construction number specified in step S <b> 41 by the control unit 31 and the input process number information are obtained. A process associated with each captured image and corresponding to the captured image is set (step S44). When a plurality of processes are associated with one captured image (step S45; N), the process of step S44 is repeated.

  When the setting of the corresponding process for each captured image is completed (step S45; Y), the captured image with the construction number and process number information is transmitted to the image management apparatus 2 via the communication unit 34 (step S46). ).

  In the image management apparatus 2, when the captured image and its supplementary information are received, the captured image is stored in the captured image storage area 233 of the storage unit 23. At this time, the image management apparatus 2 stores the captured image and the captured image used for the captured image in association with each other. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the capture management file 23a stores a construction number and a position designation number in association with the file name of the captured image, and the captured image is specified by this construction number and the position designation number. Is possible. On the other hand, the file name of the photographed image is composed of the construction number of the captured image used for photographing in the first 1 to 5 digits and the position designation number in 6 to 8 digits. Therefore, the corresponding captured image can be specified.

  Further, based on the incidental information of the photographed image, the photographed image and the process in the construction work are stored in association with each other. That is, in the captured image management file 23b, the file name of the captured image and the construction number and process number information attached to the captured image are stored in association with each other.

  Next, the first image providing process executed in the image management apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is a process of providing a photographed image to the construction main terminal 5, and corresponds to Step R10 in FIG. This process is started after a request for browsing the photographed image is made from the construction owner terminal 5 and the construction owner is authenticated.

  In the first image providing process shown in FIG. 14, the construction name and position information of the construction work corresponding to the construction owner authenticated by the control unit 21 is extracted from the capture management file 23 (step S51). Then, a browsing screen is created by adding a date to the extracted construction name and position information and using these as extraction conditions for the captured image, and is transmitted to the construction main terminal 5 (step S52). If there is more than one requested construction for one contractor or there are multiple shot images, the construction name and location that are the extraction conditions can be selected so that the location information and date of these multiple works and shot images can be selected. The date is selectively displayed on the browsing screen.

  Since the browsing screen received from the image management apparatus 2 is displayed at the construction owner terminal 5, the construction owner selects and operates the construction name of the photographed image to be browsed. Further, when it is desired to narrow down by the shooting position or shooting date of the shot image, a position / date selection operation is performed. In the construction main terminal 5, input information of these extraction conditions is transmitted to the image management apparatus 2.

  In the image management apparatus 2, when the extraction condition is input from the construction main terminal 5 via the browsing screen (step S53; Y), it is determined whether or not all positions have been selected by the control unit 21 (step S54). When all the positions are selected, that is, when the position extraction conditions are not particularly specified (step S54; Y), the process proceeds to step S58, and when the position extraction conditions are specified. (Step S54; N), the process proceeds to Step S55.

First, a case where a position extraction condition is specified will be described.
In this case, based on the capture management file 23a, the control unit 21 specifies the file name of the captured image corresponding to the selected construction name and position. The example of the capture management file 23a shown in FIG. 3 will be described. For example, when the construction name “△ new construction” and the position “living room” are designated, the file name of the captured image that matches the designated condition is “C000001.jpg”. Can be specified. Then, the captured image having the specified file name is retrieved from the captured image storage area 232 and transmitted to the construction main terminal 5 by the communication unit 22 (step S55).

  Next, the control unit 21 acquires a position designation number corresponding to the file name of the captured image specified in the capture management file 23a (step S56), and selects the selected construction number, the acquired position designation number, and the date (selected). The captured image that matches the extraction condition (only when the image is captured) is extracted from the captured image storage area 233 (step S57) and transmitted to the construction main terminal 5. As shown in FIG. 13, the first 1 to 5 digits are the construction number, the 3 digits are the position designation number, and the 8 digits are the shooting date and time. By searching for a photographed image that matches the construction number, position designation number, and date conditions, a photographed image that matches the extraction condition can be extracted. If the date extraction condition is not selected, it is excluded from the captured image extraction condition.

  In the construction main terminal 5, a captured image and a reduced image of the captured image transmitted from the image management apparatus 2 are generated and displayed in a list on a browsing screen d3 as shown in FIG. This browsing screen d3 is divided into three display areas d32 to d34, and the construction name, position, and date extraction conditions are displayed in the display area d32 so as to be selectable. Further, a reduced image of the captured image corresponding to the selected extraction condition is displayed in the display area d33, and a reduced image of the captured image corresponding to the captured image is displayed in the display area d34. In the reduced image of the photographed image, information on the photographing date acquired from the file name is displayed. By clicking these reduced images on the browsing screen d3, it is possible to confirm the original captured image and captured image that have not been reduced.

Next, a case where the position extraction condition is not particularly specified will be described.
In this case, based on the capture management file 23a, the file name of the captured image corresponding to the selected construction name is specified by the control unit 21, and the captured image with the file name is searched from the captured image storage area 232, and the construction owner It is transmitted to the terminal 5 (step S58).

  In the construction main terminal 5, a reduced image of the received captured image is created and displayed in a list on the browsing screen. Specifically, this is the same as the state in which the reduced image group of the captured image in the display area d34 of the browsing screen d3 shown in FIG. 15 is not displayed. The contractor selects the captured image corresponding to the photographed image to be viewed on the viewing screen by clicking. The construction main terminal 5 transmits this selection information to the image management apparatus 2.

  In the image management apparatus 2, when a captured image is selected on the browsing screen (step S59; Y), a position designation number corresponding to the file name of the captured image specified in the capture management file 23a is acquired (step S60). When a photographed image that matches the extraction conditions of the selected construction number, the acquired position designation number, and the date (only when selected) is extracted from the photographed image storage area 233 and transmitted to the construction main terminal 5 ( Step S61), the process is terminated.

  In the construction main terminal 5, a reduced image of the photographed image is generated and displayed as a list in the display area d34 of the browsing screen d3 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the second image providing process executed in the image management apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIG. This second image providing process is a process executed when a photographed image is provided to the contractor terminal 3, and corresponds to step R11 in FIG.

The contractor terminal 3 is configured to be able to acquire a captured image from the process management screen d4 as shown in FIG. 17 when browsing the captured image.
The process management screen d4 shown in FIG. 17 is divided into a construction plan process chart and photographed image display areas d41 and d42, and the work plan process chart display area d41 shows a date and each process in the construction work. Is displayed. In the column where the date and the process intersect, a line indicating the schedule and results of the construction period input at the time of setting the process is displayed.

On this process management screen d4, it is possible to extract a photographed image to be viewed with the extraction date of the photographed date, related processes, or a combination thereof. When the photographed image is designated by date, the corresponding date part in the date column is clicked, and when the photographed image is designated by the process, the corresponding process part in the process column is clicked. In addition, when a photographed image is designated by both a date and a process, a column where the date and the process intersect may be clicked.
In the contractor terminal 3, when an extraction condition is designated by such date alone, process alone, or a combination of date and process, the designation information is transmitted to the image management apparatus 2.

  In the image management device 2, as shown in FIG. 16, when the extraction condition for only the date is specified in the contractor terminal 3 (step S71; Y), the file name of the captured image in the captured image management file 23b is referred to. Searches for file names that match the specified date. Since the file name of the photographed image includes the photographing date in the 9 to 16 digit portion from the top, the 9 to 16 digit portion may be referenced to search for an image that matches the specified date. If there is a matching file name, a captured image with the file name is extracted from the captured image storage area 233 (step S72).

  On the other hand, when the extraction condition for only the process is specified in the contractor terminal 3 (step S73; Y), the file name corresponding to the process number of the specified process is searched based on the photographed image management file 23b, and the file Named captured images are extracted from the captured image storage area 233 (step S74).

  When the extraction condition is specified by a combination of date and process in the contractor terminal 3 (step S75; Y), the file name corresponding to the process number of the specified process is searched based on the photographed image management file 23b. A file name matching the date specified in the searched file name is further searched. If there is a matching file name, a captured image with the file name is extracted from the captured image storage area 233 (step S76), and the process proceeds to step S77.

In step S77, the extracted photographed image is transmitted to the contractor terminal 3 (step S77), and this process ends.
In the contractor terminal 3, a reduced image of the received photographed image is created and displayed as a list in the photographed image display area d42 on the browsing screen d4 as shown in FIG. The reduced images of the photographed images can be displayed by being rearranged in the order of the photographing date and time, the position designation number, or the like. By selecting one photographed image from the displayed list and clicking the reduced image, the original photographed image that has not been reduced on the contractor terminal 3 is displayed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the image management device 2 acquires a capture image corresponding to a shooting scene desired by the contractor from the CG image from the contractor terminal 5 and transmits it to the contractor terminal 3. Therefore, the contractor can perform shooting according to the shooting scene desired by the contractor using the camera 4 based on the captured image.
