  FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an image management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The image management system includes terminals 1 (1A, 1B), an image management server 2, and a registration terminal 3. The terminal 1 is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a car navigation system installed in a vehicle.

  The terminal 1A is owned by a specific user such as a police officer, and the terminal 1B is owned by a general user (general resident). The image management server 2 stores accident information such as the date and time of occurrence of a traffic accident, the location of occurrence, a photographed image such as a site photograph, a site sketch, and an accident type. The accident type is, for example, party information such as car-to-car, car-to-bicycle, car-to-person, bicycle-to-bicycle, or bicycle-to-person. For registration of accident information to the image management server 2, a registration terminal 3 installed in a police station or the like is used.

  When the terminal 1A carried by a police officer or installed in a police car is located at or near a place where a traffic accident occurred in the past (for example, within the last one month), the image management server 2 occurred at this place The detailed information of the traffic accident is distributed to the terminal 1A. The detailed information is, for example, date and time of occurrence, place of occurrence, photographed image, site sketch, and the like.

  The terminal 1A displays the detailed accident information received from the image management server 2. For example, detailed accident information as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed. By pressing the buttons B1 and B2, information such as the vehicle type of the vehicle which has caused the accident is displayed. By pressing the button B3, an accident site sketch created by a police officer who has conducted site verification is displayed. By pressing the button B4, an on-site photograph at the time of the accident, which was photographed by a photographing device such as a digital camera, is displayed. The pages may be switched by pressing the buttons B1 to B4, or the screen may be scrolled.

  As detailed accident information is automatically displayed on the terminal 1A, for example, a police officer in patrol can know that an accident has recently occurred at or around the current location. Police officers can check detailed accident information and alert surrounding vehicles and passers-bys so that similar accidents do not occur.

  When the terminal 1B owned by a general user is located at or near a place where a traffic accident has occurred in the past (for example, within the last one month), the image management server 2 reports that a traffic accident has occurred at this place Distributing the simplified accident information to the terminal 1B.

  The terminal 1 B displays the simplified accident information received from the image management server 2. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, an accident occurrence date, the number of occurrences of the accident, and an illustration image of the occurred accident are displayed. By displaying the simplified information on the terminal 1B automatically, the general user can know that an accident has recently occurred at or around the current location. The illustration also makes it easy to understand that it is the place where the accident occurred. A general user can be cautious about driving and walking in consideration of being a place where an accident is likely to occur, and can lead to the prevention of an accident.

  FIG. 4 shows a schematic configuration of the image management server 2. The image management server 2 is a computer having a CPU 20 (arithmetic control unit), a storage unit 21, and a communication unit 22. The storage unit 21 is a combination of a flash memory, a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a hard disk, and the like, and stores an accident information management program.

  By the CPU 20 executing the accident information management program, as shown in FIG. 5, the registration acceptance unit 201, the position determination unit 202, the user determination unit 203, the image data creation unit 204, and the transmission unit 205 are realized. An accident information storage area 211, a user information storage area 212, and an illustration storage area 213 are generated in S21.

  The registration accepting unit 201 accepts registration of accident information from the registration terminal 3 via the communication unit 22. The accident information includes the date and time of occurrence, the address of the place of occurrence, the photographed image (site photograph), the site sketch, the type of accident, and the like, and is stored in the accident information storage area 211 for each accident.

  Position information is associated with each accident information. The position information may be the address of the occurrence location included in the accident information, or may be GPS information included in the image file when the captured image has a format compliant with Exif (registered trademark) (Exchangeable Image File Format).

  The position determination unit 202 acquires position information from the terminal 1 (1A, 1B) via the communication unit 22, and determines whether or not the position information matches the position information associated with the accident information. When the interval between the position indicated by the position information acquired from the terminal 1 and the position indicated by the position information associated with the accident information is equal to or less than a predetermined value, it is determined that the position information matches.

  The position determination unit 202 may limit the target of the accident information for comparing the position information based on the accident occurrence date. For example, the position determination unit 202 compares position information of accident information corresponding to an accident that has occurred within the last one month with position information acquired from the terminal 1. Alternatively, accident information for which a predetermined period has elapsed since the occurrence of an accident may be deleted from the accident information storage area 211. As a result, only accident information of an accident that has occurred within a certain period is searched.

  When acquiring position information from the terminal 1, the position determination unit 202 also acquires identification information of the user who owns the terminal 1. The identification information may be an application ID of an application program (accident information acquisition program described later) installed in the terminal 1 or an individual identification number of the terminal 1.

  The user information storage area 212 stores identification information of a specific user and identification information of a general user.

  The user determination unit 203 refers to the information stored in the user information storage area 212, and determines whether the user who owns the terminal 1 that has acquired the position information is a specific user or a general user.

  The illustration storage area 213 stores illustration images for each type of accident.

  The distribution data creation unit 204 creates data to be distributed to the terminal 1 when the position determination unit 202 determines that the position information acquired from the terminal 1 matches the position information associated with the accident information.

  When the user who owns the terminal 1 is a specific user, the distribution data creation unit 204 takes out accident information whose position information matches from the accident information storage area 211, and detects the date and time of occurrence, the place of occurrence, a photographed image, site sketches, etc. Create distribution data including detailed accident information.

  If there is a plurality of accident information in which the position information matches, the distribution data creation unit 204 creates distribution data including detailed accident information on the plurality of accidents.

  When the user who owns the terminal 1 is a general user, the distribution data creation unit 204 extracts from the illustration storage area 213 an illustration image corresponding to the accident type of the accident information whose position information matches. The delivery data creation unit 204 creates delivery data including simple accident information such as an illustration image, an accident occurrence date, and the number of occurrences of an accident. The simple accident information does not include the photographed image.

  The transmission unit 205 transmits the distribution data created by the distribution data creation unit 204 to the terminal 1 via the communication unit 22. For example, distribution data including detailed accident information is transmitted to the specific user's terminal 1A, and distribution data including simplified accident information is transmitted to the general user's terminal 1B.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the terminal 1. The terminal 1 includes a CPU 10, a storage unit 11, an operation display unit 12, a GPS receiving unit 13, and a communication unit 14.

  The storage unit 11 is a combination of a flash memory, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and stores an accident information acquisition program. The accident information acquisition program is downloaded from, for example, a website on the Internet and installed in advance in the terminal 1.

  The operation display unit 12 displays various information and receives an operation from the user. For example, the operation display unit 12 is a touch panel.

  The GPS reception unit 13 receives a radio wave emitted from a GPS satellite, and acquires position information (latitude and longitude) of the current location where the portable terminal 1 exists based on the GPS information.

  The communication unit 14 communicates with the image management server 2 via the Internet or the like.

  By the CPU 10 executing the accident information acquisition program, as shown in FIG. 7, the position information transmitting unit 101, the accident information receiving unit 102, and the display processing unit 103 are realized.

  The position information transmission unit 101 transmits the position information of the terminal 1 acquired by the GPS reception unit 13 to the image management server 2 at predetermined time intervals via the communication unit 14.

  The accident information receiving unit 102 receives, from the image management server 2, data including detailed accident information or simplified accident information. The display processing unit 103 displays the accident information received from the image management server 2 on the operation display unit 12.

  Next, an image management method according to the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When a traffic accident occurs, a police officer performs on-site verification and takes on-site photos with a digital camera or the like. The police officer who has completed the on-site verification returns to the police station and inputs accident information such as information on an accident and a photographed image to the registration terminal 3. The input accident information is registered in the image management server 2 (step S1). The image management server 2 stores the address of the occurrence place included in the accident information and the position information based on the GPS information included in the captured image in association with the accident information.

  The image management server 2 periodically receives the terminal position information from the terminal 1A owned by a specific user such as a police official or the terminal 1B owned by a general user, and matches the position information associated with the accident information. It is determined whether the terminal 1 (1A, 1B) is within a predetermined area centered on the position indicated by the position information associated with the accident information (step S2).

  When the terminal 1 is within the predetermined area, the image management server 2 determines whether the owner of the terminal 1 is a specific user such as a police official or a general user (step S3).

  When the owner of the terminal 1 is a specific user, the image management server 2 creates distribution data composed of detailed accident information including a photographed image and the like using accident information corresponding to position information matching the terminal position information. (Step S4).

  When the owner of the terminal 1 is a general user, the image management server 2 creates delivery data composed of simplified accident information including an illustration, with reference to accident information corresponding to position information that matches the terminal position information ((1) Step S5).

  The image management server 2 transmits the distribution data to the terminal 1 (step S6). For example, the image management server 2 transmits distribution data consisting of detailed accident information to the terminal 1A owned by a specific user, and transmits distribution data consisting of simplified accident information to a terminal 1B owned by a general user.

  The terminal 1 displays the accident information received from the image management server 2 (step S7, see FIG. 2 and FIG. 3).

  As a result, for example, detailed accident information is displayed on the terminal 1A of the police officer who is in the vicinity of the accident occurrence place, and the simplified accident information is displayed on the general user terminal 1B. Police officers confirm detailed accident information and watch movements of surrounding vehicles and passers-bys so that similar accidents do not recur. The general user checks the simplified accident information, recognizes that the accident is likely to occur, and drives or walks with caution.

  In the above embodiment, the simplified accident information describes the example including the accident occurrence date, the number of occurrences of the accident, and the illustration image, but the simplified accident information may include information on a time zone or weather at which the accident occurred. The general user can compare the current time and weather with the time zone and weather at the time of the accident to more accurately determine whether or not the accident is likely to occur.

  The image management server 2 collects information on the current time and the current weather, and the terminal 1 is located near the accident occurrence location, and the time zone and the weather match, as compared with the time zone or weather in which the accident occurred. When this is done, detailed accident information or simplified accident information may be distributed to the terminal 1.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which information on traffic accidents is registered in the image management server 2 and distributed to the terminal 1 has been described. However, the information is not limited to information on accidents, and incidents such as vacant nests, robbers, snatching, car raging etc. (Crime) Information may be registered and distributed. In the illustration storage area 213, an illustration image corresponding to the type of event is stored.

  Also in this case, detailed information of the case including the photographed image (site photograph) is distributed to the terminal 1A of the police officer, and the simplified information not including the photographed image (including the illustration) is distributed to the general user terminal 1B . For example, police officers check detailed information, patrol more strictly, and control crimes. A general user can know that it is a place where crime is likely to occur, and can act while paying attention to the surrounding situation to reduce the risk of being involved in a crime.

  The registration terminal 3 is installed in a police station or the like, and is not limited to one that registers information on an accident or a case with the image management server 2. For example, the registration terminal 3 is installed at a security company, and the detailed information including a photographed image (site photograph) of a place where a suspicious person was found in the past or a place where an unauthorized intrusion occurred in a building targeted for security is specified It distributes to the terminal 1A which the security guard as a user owns. Since it is a dark place, the terminal 1B of the general user who visited the building to be guarded distributes simplified information (including an illustration) that does not include a photographed image, which urges attention.

  Further, the registration terminal 3 may be installed at a construction management company, and an image (site photograph) obtained by photographing a dangerous part under construction may be registered. The terminal 1A owned by a specific user such as a construction site supervisor, a security guard, a traffic control person, etc. distributes detailed information notifying a specific dangerous place including a site photograph. The terminal 1B of the general user passing near the construction site distributes the simplified information notifying that there is a danger point by an illustration.

  The above description is an example of the present invention, and the present invention may be in a form other than the above.
