Yes. The “name” field and the “safety information” field may be left blank without being input at the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal. In this case, the image data is browsed to confirm the safety.

  The method for creating the safety information management database of FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the steps of FIG.

  The first to fourth lines in FIG. 4 are cases where safety can be confirmed with respect to a plurality of people, and the plurality of persons are photographed in one piece of image data. From the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15, the utility pole information “00A005”, the position information “(x5, y5)”, the image data “data005”, and the names of the four people “A-B-B male, A-DA-C child”. , A field D line, A field E child "and the comment" Slightly injured, safely, safely, safely "about the safety information of the four people has been sent.

  First, it is checked whether or not utility pole information is transmitted from a dedicated terminal or a mobile phone terminal (S21). In this case, since the utility pole information is transmitted, the utility pole is searched from the utility pole information (S23), and the first line in FIG. 4 is hit. Next, the position information acquired by the GPS function of the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal search 15 is compared with the position information of the first line hit (S24), and both are within the range of (x5, y5). Then, it is determined that the utility pole information input by the operator of the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal has been verified by the position information (S24), and the process proceeds to the next step (S25).

  In this step (S25), it is checked whether an image data name has been input in the first line that has been hit (S25). At this point in time, the image data name has not yet been input, that is, "NO". The image data name “data005” is input to the first line without adding (S27).

  Next, it is checked whether the name of the person who has confirmed the safety from the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal and a comment regarding the safety information of the person have been transmitted (S28). In this case, four persons have been transmitted. So, the names “A field B man”, “A field C child”, “A field D line”, “A field E child” and comments on safety information “Minor injury”, “Safe”, “Safe”, “Safe” Are input (S29).

  The 5th line of FIG. 4 is the information regarding the utility pole previously registered into the safety confirmation management database. Telephone pole information “00A009”, position information “(x9, y9)”, and address “◯ Δ9” are registered. At this time, the data sent from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 to the information server is not input to this line.

  The sixth line in FIG. 4 is an example in which only the utility pole information “00A010”, the position information “(x10, y10)”, and the image data “data010” are sent from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 to the information server 30. is there.

  First, it is checked whether or not the utility pole information is transmitted from the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal (S21). Since the utility pole information is transmitted, the utility pole is searched from the utility pole information “00A010” (S23). At this time, the sixth line is hit.

  Next, the positional information acquired by the GPS function of the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 is compared with the positional information on the sixth line that has been hit (S24), and both are within the range of (x10, y10). It is determined that the utility pole information transmitted by the operator of the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal has been verified by the position information (S24), and the process proceeds to the next step (S25).

  In this step (S25), it is checked whether or not an image data name has been input on the hit 6th line (S25). Since no image data name has been input yet at this point, 6 lines are not added. The image data name “data010” is input to the eyes (S27).

  Next, it is checked whether the name of the person who has confirmed the safety from the dedicated terminal 10 or the cellular phone terminal 15 and a comment regarding the safety information of the person have been transmitted (S28). In the sixth line, the name and safety information are blank, and the image data name “data010” is newly added to the telephone pole information “00A010”, the position information “(x10, y10)”, and the address “◯ △ 10”. Will be the line entered in.

  The seventh line in FIG. 4 is an example in which only the position information “(x10, y10)” and the image data “data011” are sent from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 to the information server 30.

  First, it is checked whether or not the utility pole information is transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 (S21). Since the utility pole information is not transmitted, the GPS function of the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 is used. A utility pole is searched from the acquired position information (x10, y10) (S22). At this time, the sixth line is hit.

  Next, it is checked whether or not the image data name has been input in the hit 6th line (S25), and since the image data name “data010” has already been registered, the 7th line is added (S26), and the image data Enter “data011” in the name field (S27).

  Next, it is checked whether the name of the person who has confirmed the safety from the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal and the comment on the safety information of the person has been transmitted (S28). In the seventh line, the name and safety information are blank, and the image data name “data011” is newly added to the utility pole information “00A010”, the position information “(x10, y10)”, and the address “◯ △ 10”. Will be the line entered in.

  The 8th to 10th lines in FIG. 4 are the names of the three persons who were able to confirm the safety, “F mountain G male, F mountain H child, F mountain I child”, and a comment on the safety information of the three persons “serious injury, safe. In this example, the position information “(x10, y10)” and the image data “data012a, data012b” are transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 to the information server 30.

  First, it is checked whether or not the utility pole information is transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 (S21). Since it is not transmitted in this case, the utility pole is searched from the position information “(x10, y10)”. (S22) The sixth line is hit.

  Next, it is checked whether the image data name is registered in the sixth hit line (S25). Since the image data “data010” is registered, the next line in the seventh line which is the last line of the utility pole information “00A010” is registered. Is inserted into the eighth line (S26), and the image data names “data012a, data012b” are input (S27).

  Next, it is checked whether the name of the person who has confirmed the safety from the dedicated terminal or the mobile phone terminal and a comment regarding the safety information of the person have been transmitted (S28). In this case, three persons have been transmitted. Therefore, the names “F mountain G male”, “F mountain H child”, “F mountain I child” and comments regarding safety information “serious injury”, “safe”, “safe” are input (S29).

  In the name field, instead of entering the name of the person who confirmed the safety, enter “F Yamaya” etc., and all of them should mention “one person seriously injured, two people safely” in the comment about safety information. For example, the image data may be browsed and confirmed.

  The safety confirmation management database entered as described above is registered by searching the safety confirmation management database from the telephone pole near the shooting location displayed in combination with the map, browsing the registered images. Safety can be confirmed by confirming comments on the name and safety information. For example, in FIG. 4, when viewing information about the utility pole of the utility pole information “00A010”, “F mountain G male” is “serious injury”, “F mountain H child” is safe, and “F mountain I child” is “safe”. And can be confirmed by photographs of “data012a” and “data012b”. In addition, although comments regarding the name and safety information are not registered, it is possible to confirm the safety of the photographed person by browsing the image data “data010” and “data011”.

  You can also search for safety by checking your name. For example, in FIG. 4, when “A field B man” is searched, the first line is hit, and it is understood that it is a “slight injury”. It can also be confirmed by browsing the image data “data005”.

  In the on-site information management database shown in FIG. 6, the “remarks” field indicating the situation of the site in characters, the “electric pole information” field indicating telephone pole information, the position (x, y) of the dedicated terminal or mobile phone terminal at the time of image capture ) “Position information” field, an “address” field indicating the address corresponding to the position information, and an “image data name” field indicating the data name of the image data obtained by photographing the on-site situation.

  A method for creating the on-site information management database of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to the steps of FIG.

  In the first line of FIG. 6, the power pole information “00A001”, the position information “(x1, y1)”, the image data “data001”, and the remarks “tilting pole” are transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 to the information server 30 This is an example in the case where it has been done.

  First, it is checked whether or not utility pole information is transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 (S41). Since the utility pole information is transmitted in this case, the utility pole is searched from the utility pole information (S43). In this case, the first line is hit, and the position information registered in the database is compared with the position information acquired by the GPS function of the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15, and both are within the range of (x1, y1). Therefore, the utility pole information input by the operator to the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 can be verified by the position information (S44).

  Next, it is checked whether or not an image data name is registered in the first line (S45). Since it is not yet registered at this time, the image data name “data001” is added to the first line without adding a line. Is input (S47).

  Next, it is checked whether or not remarks are transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 (S48), and since “tilting column” is transmitted, “tilting column” is entered in the remarks column (S49). ).

  The second line in FIG. 6 is an example in which only position information “(x2, y2)”, image data “data002”, and remarks “collapse” are sent from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15.

  First, it is checked whether or not utility pole information is transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 (S41). Since no utility pole information is transmitted in this case, the utility pole is searched from the position information (x2, y2) (S42). ). Here, the second line is hit, and it is checked whether the image data name is registered in the second line (S45). In the second line, the image data name (data002) is input without adding a line because the image data name is not registered at this time (S47).

  Next, it is checked whether or not the remarks are transmitted from the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 (S48). In this case, the remarks indicating “collapse” and the status of the telephone pole are transmitted. (S49).

  The on-site information management database entered as described above searches the on-site information management database from the power pole near the shooting location displayed in combination with the map, and the on-site information management image from the information and image data registered in “Remarks” You can check the situation. For example, in FIG. 6, when the utility pole with the utility pole information “00A001” is searched, it can be seen from the remarks that the utility pole is tilted and can be confirmed by browsing the image data “data001”.

  Here, the remarks are input at the dedicated terminal 10 or the mobile phone terminal 15 at the site, but are not input at the site, but are damaged when the operator of the client PC 50 views the image data transmitted to the information server 30. The situation may be judged and input.

  Although the present invention is realized by software, it is not described in particular. However, the CPU is driven by dedicated software loaded in the mobile phone and the information server RAM, and the above processing is performed via the network interface. Needless to say.
