  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a management target. The target state information management system 1 according to the present embodiment is a system that manages the target state information B of the management target 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the management target 100 is a location, that is, an area, which is a management target that the worker H circulates. The management target 100 may be an area where the worker H circulates, for example, a plant, a building, a natural ground, or the like. The management target 100 has locations 111, 112, 113, and 114. The worker H circulates the places 111, 112, 113, and 114 within the management target 100 and acquires the target state information B of the respective places 111, 112, 113, and 114. Hereinafter, the places 111, 112, 113, 114 are described as the places 110 when they are not distinguished. The place 110 is an area separated from each other in the management target 100, and is, for example, equipment provided in the management target 100. Although four places 110 are provided in this embodiment, the number is arbitrary. The target state information B is information on the location 110, which will be described later in detail.

  In the present embodiment, a device 110 a is provided in the place 110. The device 110a is a pump or the like, for example, but may be any device as long as it performs a predetermined operation. Further, a different device 110a may be provided for each place 110, or a plurality of devices 110a may be provided in one place 110. However, the device 110 a is not necessarily provided in the place 110.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the target state information management system 1 includes a collection position input unit 10, a target state information collection unit 12, and an external server 14. The collection position input unit 10 and the target state information collection unit 12 are devices (terminals) that can be carried by the worker H. The worker H travels around the place 110 by carrying the collection position input unit 10 and the target state information collection unit 12. The worker H operates the collection position input unit 10 to input the collection position A, and operates the target state information collection unit 12 to collect the target state information B.

  Hereinafter, the work of the worker H will be described more specifically. The worker H moves the position in the management target 100, that is, the place 110. In the example of FIG. 1, the worker H moves the position in the management target 100, that is, the place 110 in the order of the places 111, 112, 113, and 114. When the worker H reaches the place 111, the operator H operates the collection position input unit 10 to input the collection position A indicating the place 111. When the sampling position A indicating the location 111 is input, the sampling position input unit 10 acquires the time (input time) when the sampling position A indicating the location 111 is input. The time when the sampling position A indicating that there is an input is associated with the sampling position A indicating that it is the place 111. Then, the operator H operates the target state information collecting unit 12 to collect the target state information B at the place 111. The worker H may collect only one target state information B at the location 111 or may collect a plurality of target state information B. Each time the target state information B is collected, the target state information collection unit 12 detects (acquires) the time (collection time) at which the target state information B is collected, and is collected with each target state information B. Correlate with the time. The worker H moves to the location 112 when the collection of the target state information B at the location 111 is completed.

  When the worker H reaches the place 112, the operator H operates the collection position input unit 10 to input the collection position A indicating the place 112. As in the case of the place 111, the collection position input unit 10 associates the time when the collection position A indicating the place 112 is input with the collection position A indicating the place 112. Then, the worker H operates the target state information collecting unit 12 to collect the target state information B at the place 112. The worker H may collect only one target state information B at the place 112, or may collect a plurality of target state information B. Each time the target state information B is collected, the target state information collection unit 12 detects (acquires) the time (collection time) at which the target state information B is collected, and is collected with each target state information B. Correlate with the time. The worker H moves to the location 113 when the collection of the target state information B at the location 112 is completed. Subsequent processing at the location 113 and processing at the location 114 are the same. Thus, the worker H collects the target state information B using the target state information management system 1 including the collection position input unit 10 and the target state information collection unit 12. Hereinafter, the target state information management system 1 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the target state information management system. The sampling position input unit 10 is a device that receives input of the sampling position A by the worker H and acquires the input sampling position A. The collection position input unit 10 is a portable terminal (here, a tablet computer) carried by the worker H. The collection position A is information indicating the current position of the worker H within the management target 100, and will be described in detail later.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the collection position input unit 10 includes an input unit 20, a storage unit 22, an output unit 24, a communication unit 26, and a control unit 28. The input unit 20 is a mechanism that can input information from the worker H. The input unit 20 is a touch panel in this embodiment, but may be a keyboard, for example. The storage unit 22 is a memory for storing calculation contents of the control unit 28, program information, information input by the input unit 20, and the like. For example, RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash For example, a memory (Flash Memory). The output unit 24 is a mechanism that outputs (displays here) the control result of the control unit 28, the input content from the worker H, and the like, and is a touch panel display in this embodiment. The communication unit 26 is a mechanism capable of transmitting / receiving data to / from the target state information collecting unit 12 and the external server 14. The communication unit 26 may transmit / receive data to / from the target state information collecting unit 12 and the external server 14 by wireless communication, or may transmit / receive data to / from the target state information collecting unit 12 and the external server 14 by wired communication. Good. The control unit 28 is an arithmetic device, that is, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The configuration of the control unit 28 will be described later.

  The target state information collecting unit 12 is a device that collects (collects) the target state information B by the operation of the worker H. In the present embodiment, the target state information collection unit 12 is an imaging device (camera) carried by the worker H, and the target state information B is image data of the place 110 captured by the target state information collection unit 12. It is. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the target state information collection unit 12 includes an input unit 30, a storage unit 32, an output unit 34, a target state information acquisition unit 38, and an information collection time acquisition unit 40. The input unit 30 is a mechanism that receives an input from the worker H, and is a shutter button for collecting (imaging) the target state information B in the present embodiment. The memory | storage part 32 is a memory which memorize | stores the object state information B, and has memorize | stored the present time sequentially. The output unit 34 is a screen that displays the target state information B. The target state information acquisition unit 38 is a mechanism that detects and acquires, ie, collects, the target state information B by the operation of the input unit 30 of the worker H. In the present embodiment, the target state information acquisition unit 38 is an image sensor, and captures an image of the place 110 by operating the input unit 30 of the worker H. The information collection time acquisition unit 40 reads the current time by the storage unit 32, thereby acquiring, that is, acquiring, the time when the target state information acquisition unit 38 collected the target state information B as the collection time information. In the present embodiment, the collection time is the time when an image of the place 110 is captured.

  However, the target state information collection unit 12 is not limited to a device that collects image data of the place 110 as the target state information B. The target state information collection unit 12 may collect information on the location 110 other than the image data as the target state information B. For example, the target state information collection unit 12 may collect the state value of the device 110a as the target state information B. The state value is a parameter indicating the state of the device 110a and is a parameter that can be acquired by the target state information collecting unit 12 carried by the worker H. Examples of the state value include the current value of the device 110a, the vibration value of the device 110a, and the pressure value of the fluid in the device 110a. When collecting the state value as the target state information B, the target state information acquisition unit 38 can be said to be a sensor that measures the state value. That is, the target state information collection unit 12 does not collect the state value when the state value read by the worker H is input to the input unit 30. The target state information collecting unit 12 measures the state value of the device 110a by operating the target state information acquiring unit 38 when the operator H operates the input unit 30.

  The worker H carries the target state information collecting unit 12 that collects different types of target state information B, operates each target state information collecting unit 12, and collects the target state information B. Also good. In this case, for example, the worker H captures the image data of the place 110 with one target state information collecting unit 12, and the state value of the device 110a provided at the place 110 with the other target state information collecting unit 12. May be measured. Further, the target state information collecting unit 12 may be capable of collecting a plurality of types of target state information B.

  The external server 14 is a processing device (computer) that is not carried by the worker H and has a fixed position. The external server 14 is provided outside the management target 100, but may be provided in the management target 100 as long as it is not carried by the worker H. The external server 14 transmits and receives data to and from the target state information collection unit 12 by communicating with the communication unit 26 of the target state information collection unit 12.

  Next, the control unit 28 of the collection position input unit 10 will be described. The control unit 28 acquires the sampling position A input by the worker H and the target state information B collected by the target state information collecting unit 12 from the input unit 20, and links the sampling position A and the target state information B. As a result, the position of the target status information B in the management target 100 is specified. As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 28 includes a map information control unit 50, a sampling position acquisition unit 52, a position input time acquisition unit 54, a target information acquisition unit 56, a linking unit 60, and a notification unit 62. And have. The map information control unit 50, the sampling position acquisition unit 52, the position input time acquisition unit 54, the target information acquisition unit 56, the linking unit 60, and the notification unit 62 are software stored in the storage unit 22 ( Program).

  The map information control unit 50 causes the output unit 24 to display the map information of the management target 100. Here, the storage unit 22 stores map information 100A of the management target 100 in advance. The map information 100 </ b> A is a map of the management target 100 and does not include information on the current worker H and the position of the collection position input unit 10 in the management target 100. That is, the current positions of the worker H and the sampling position input unit 10 are unknown only by the map information 100A.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of map information. The map information control unit 50 reads the map information 100 </ b> A of the management target 100 from the storage unit 22 and displays it on the output unit 24. The map information control unit 50 reads and displays the map information 100A of the management target 100, triggered by the operator H making an input to the map 20A to read the map information 100A. FIG. 3 shows an example of map information 100 </ b> A displayed on the output unit 24 by the map information control unit 50. As shown in FIG. 3, the map information 100A displayed on the output unit 24 displays a location 111A, a location 112A, a location 113A, and a location 114A. The place 111A indicates the position of the place 111 in the map information 100A, the place 112A indicates the position of the place 112 in the map information 100A, and the place 113A indicates the position of the place 113 in the map information 100A. The location 114A indicates the position of the location 114 in the map information 100A. Hereinafter, the place 111A, the place 112A, the place 113A, and the place 114A are described as the place 110A when they are not distinguished. The map information 100A also displays a device 110aA indicating the position of the device 110a.

  The acquisition position acquisition unit 52 illustrated in FIG. The collection position A is information indicating a position where the target state information B is collected in the management target 100 set by the operator H input to the input unit 20. In the present embodiment, the collection position A is information indicating where the place 110 where the worker H is located is located in the management target 100. When the worker H circulates the management target 100 and collects the target state information B, when the worker H reaches the place 110 where the target state information B is acquired, the position of the place 110 is set in the input unit 20 to the collection position A. Enter as. Thereby, the collection position A is set.

  More specifically, when the worker H reaches the place 110 from which the target state information B is acquired, the operator H operates the input unit 20, and the map information control unit 50 sends the map information 100 </ b> A of the management target 100 to the output unit 24. Display. The worker H sets the collection position A by selecting a place 110A corresponding to the reached place 110 from the map information 100A displayed on the output unit 24. For example, when the worker H reaches the place 111, the worker H selects the place 111A by touching the place 110A shown in FIG. In this case, the location 111A (location 111) is set as the collection position A.

  As will be described later, the worker H inputs the collection position A to the input unit 20 at the timing before the execution of the collection of the target state information B. Since the worker H inputs the collection position A while moving the position, it can be said that the collection position A is information of each position where the target state information B is collected. Furthermore, the collection position A is a position (here, the location 110) where the target state information B is input by the worker H through the collection position input unit 10 at the timing before the collection of the target state information B. ) Information. The collection position acquisition unit 52 acquires the collection position A input to the input unit 20 in this way. The sampling position acquisition unit 52 acquires the sampling position A by manual input of the worker H, and does not automatically acquire the sampling position A. That is, the target state information management system 1 according to the present embodiment does not include a detection device for detecting the positions of the current worker H and the target state information collection unit 12. In other words, the target state information management system 1 does not include a GPS (Global Positioning System) for position detection. Further, the target state information management system 1 does not include a device (transmitter) for indicating a position in the management target 100. Furthermore, even if a GPS is provided in the target state information collection unit 12 or a device for indicating a position is provided in the management target 100, the target state information management system 1 may They are not used for acquisition.

  The position input time acquisition unit 54 acquires the input time. Here, the storage unit 22 sequentially updates and stores the current time. The input time is the time when the sampling position acquisition unit 52 acquires the sampling position A, in other words, the time when the sampling position A is set. Since the collection position A is information input for each position, it can be said that the input time is each time the collection position A is input. The input time here includes year, month, day, and time information. When the sampling position A is acquired by the sampling position acquisition unit 52, the position input time acquisition unit 54 acquires the acquired time as the input time. The position input time acquisition unit 54 associates the collection position A with the input time.

  When the collection position A and the input time are acquired, that is, when the setting of the collection position A by the worker H is completed, the worker H operates the target state information collecting unit 12 and the place where the worker H has reached. 110 target state information B is collected. That is, the target state information collection unit 12 collects the target state information B by the target state information acquisition unit 38 according to the operation of the worker H. Then, the target state information collection unit 12 acquires, as the collection time, the time when the target state information acquisition unit 38 collects the target state information B by the information collection time acquisition unit 40. Each time the target state information B is collected, the information collection time acquisition unit 40 acquires the collection time and associates the target state information B with the collection time.

  As described above, the worker H moves to the next location 110 (here, location 112) after the collection of the target state information B at one location 110 (here location 111) is completed. When the worker H reaches the next place 110 (place 112), the operator H performs the same operation as described above on the collection position input unit 10 and inputs the collection position A of the next place 110 (place 112). The sampling position input unit 10 acquires a sampling position A indicating the next place 110 (place 112) input by the worker H and an input time when the sampling position A is set. Thereafter, the worker H performs the same operation as described above on the target state information collecting unit 12 to collect the target state information B of the next place 110 (place 112). The target state information collecting unit 12 acquires the target state information B and the collection time when the target state information B is collected. When the collection of the target state information B at the next place 110 is completed, the worker H further moves to the next place 110 (here, the place 113), repeats the same processing, and collects the collection position A and the target state. Collect information B. As described above, the sampling position acquisition unit 52 of the sampling position input unit 10 acquires a plurality of sampling positions A by acquiring the sampling positions A for each setting of the worker H. Further, the target state information acquisition unit 38 of the target state information collection unit 12 collects a plurality of pieces of target state information B by collecting the target state information B for each operation of the worker H.

  Note that the worker H is not limited to collecting one target state information B for one place 110, and may collect a plurality of pieces of target state information B for one place 110. For example, the worker H may collect image data of another angle or another place at one place 110 as the plurality of target state information B, or may collect image data and state values of the device 110a. May be. In addition, the worker H may change the number of target state information B to be collected for each place 110.

  Thus, the collection position input unit 10 acquires the collection position A and the input time each time the worker H changes the location 110 where the worker H is currently located. The collection position input unit 10 associates the collection position A with the input time at which the collection position A is set, and stores the associated collection position A and the input time in the storage unit 22 as an input time relationship table. . That is, the input time relationship table is information indicating the relationship between the sampling position A and the input time at which the sampling position A is set. The input time table includes information indicating the relationship between the collection position A and the input time, that is, linked information, by the number of set collection positions A. In other words, the position input time acquisition unit 54 of the sampling position input unit 10 acquires the input time that is the time when each sampling position A is input in association with each sampling position A. it can.

  FIG. 4 is a table showing an example of the input time relationship table. FIG. 4 shows an example in which sampling positions A1, A2, A3, and A4 are set as the sampling position A. In the example of FIG. 4, the collection position A <b> 1 indicates the collection position A when the worker H sets the location 111 as the current location 110. The collection position A2 indicates the collection position A when the worker H sets the place 112 as the current place 110. The collection position A3 indicates the collection position A when the worker H sets the place 113 as the current place 110. The sampling position A4 indicates the sampling position A when the worker H sets the location 114 as the current location 110. In the example of FIG. 4, the time at which the collection position A1 is set is 10:00 on the year T month U. The time at which the collection position A2 is set is 10:20 on the T month U of S year after the input time of the collection position A1. And the time which set sampling position A3 is 10:30 on S month T month U after the input time of sampling position A2. The time at which the collection position A4 is set is 11:00 on the T month U of S year after the input time of the collection position A3. However, the input time shown in FIG. 4 is merely an example.

  Returning to FIG. 2, each time the operator H operates the target state information collecting unit 12, the target state information collecting unit 12 acquires the target state information B and the collection time when the target state information B is collected. The target state information collecting unit 12 associates the target state information B with the collection time at which the target state information B is collected, and associates the associated target state information B and the collection time as a collection time relation table as a storage unit 32. To remember. That is, the collection time relationship table is information indicating the relationship between the target state information B and the collection time at which the target state information B is collected. The collection time table includes information indicating the relationship between the target state information B and the collection time, that is, linked information, by the number of the collected target state information B. Note that the target state information collection unit 12 has not acquired the information of the collection position A. Therefore, the target state information collection unit 12 does not know which place 110 the target state information B is at the time when the collection time relationship table is created.

  FIG. 5 is a table showing an example of the collection time relationship table. FIG. 5 shows an example in which target state information B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5 are collected as the target state information B. In the example of FIG. 5, the time at which the target state information B1 is collected is 10:05 on the year T month U. And the time which collected object state information B2 is 10:10 of S month T month U after the collection time of object state information B1. The time at which the target state information B3 is collected is 10:22 on the T month U of S year after the collection time of the target state information B2. The time at which the target state information B4 is collected is 10:35 on the date of the month T of the year S after the collection time of the target state information B3. And the time which collected object state information B5 is 11:10 of S month T month U after the collection time of object state information B4. However, the collection time shown in FIG. 5 is merely an example.

  When the worker H has visited all the places 110 scheduled to be visited and the collection of the target state information B is completed, the worker H inputs the fact to the input unit 20 of the collection position input unit 10. The target information acquisition unit 56 of the collection position input unit 10 illustrated in FIG. 2 uses the input to that effect, that is, the collection of the target state information B as a trigger to trigger the target state information collection unit 12 via the communication unit 26. From the collection time table, that is, the target state information B and the collection time are acquired. The target information acquisition unit 56 stores the acquired collection time relationship table in the storage unit 22. Thus, since the target information acquisition unit 56 acquires the target state information B and the collection time, it can be said that the target information acquisition unit 56 and the information collection time acquisition unit are configured. It can be said that the target information acquisition unit 56 as the information collection time acquisition unit acquires a collection time that is a time at which each target state information B is collected in association with each target state information B.

  The communication unit 26 obtains the collection time relationship table (target state information B and collection time) through wireless communication with the target state information collection unit 12, but is limited to acquiring the collection time relationship table through wireless communication. I can't. For example, the communication unit 26 may be connected to the target state information collection unit 12 via a wire and acquire the collection time relationship table via the wire. When the storage unit 32 of the target state information collection unit 12 is a removable memory, the collection time relationship table may be acquired directly from the storage unit 32 by connecting the storage unit 32 to the communication unit 26. .

  The linking unit 60 of the collection position input unit 10 illustrated in FIG. 2 links the collection position A and the target state information B. In other words, the associating unit 60 sets which collection position A the target state information B belongs to, that is, at which place 110 the collection is performed. Hereinafter, the association between the collection position A and the target state information B will be specifically described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between position information and location information. The associating unit 60 reads out the input time relationship table created by the position input time acquisition unit 54 from the storage unit 22. In addition, the communication unit 26 reads the collection time relationship table acquired by the target information acquisition unit 56 from the storage unit 22. The association unit 60 associates the collection position A with the target state information B based on the input time included in the input time relationship table and the collection time included in the collection time relationship table. In other words, the associating unit 60 includes the collection position A acquired by the position input time acquisition unit 54 and its input time, the target state information B acquired by the target information acquisition unit 56 (information collection time acquisition unit), and its Based on the collection time, the target state information B acquired by the target information acquisition unit 56 (target state information acquisition unit) is linked to the collection position A acquired by the collection position acquisition unit 52.

  More specifically, the linking unit 60 selects the target state information B to be linked to a certain collection position A (here, the collection position A1) as follows. That is, the associating unit 60 is target state information B having a collection time after the input time of the collection position A (collection position A1), and the collection position A immediately after the collection position A (collection position A1). The target state information B before the input time of (collection position A2 here) is linked to the collection position A (collection position A1). The linking unit 60 performs this linking process for all the target state information B, and links the target state information B to one of the collection positions A.

  In other words, any one of the collection positions A is set as the first collection position (for example, the collection position A1). Then, of all the sampling positions A, the sampling position A associated with the input time immediately after the input time of the first sampling position is set as a second sampling position (here, sampling position A2). In this case, the associating unit 60 uses the first collection of the target state information B whose collection time is after the input time at the first collection position and before the input time at the second collection position. Tie to position.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between position information and location information. In the example of FIG. 6, the target state information B1 and B2 are collection times after the input time of the collection position A1 and have a collection time before the input time of the immediately subsequent collection position A2. Accordingly, the target state information B1 and B2 are linked to the collection position A1. That is, the target state information B1 and B2 is set to be the target state information B acquired at the collection position A1. In other words, the associating unit 60 has a plurality of target state information B having a collection time that is later than the input time of the collection position A1 and that is earlier than the input time of the immediately subsequent collection position A2. The plurality of pieces of target state information B are all linked to the collection position A1 as a group of data. In other words, when there are a plurality of pieces of target state information B whose collection time is between the input time of the first collection position and the input time of the first collection position, the associating unit 60 has the plurality of pieces of target state information B Are all linked to the first collection position as a group of data.

  Further, the target state information B3 has a sampling time that is after the input time of the sampling position A2 and before the input time of the sampling position A3 immediately after. Accordingly, the target state information B3 is linked to the collection position A2. The target state information B4 has a collection time that is later than the input time of the collection position A3 and is earlier than the input time of the immediately subsequent collection position A4. Accordingly, the target state information B4 is linked to the collection position A3. Further, the target state information B5 has a collection time after the input time of the collection position A4. Since the collection position A4 does not have the immediately following collection position A, in this case, the target state information B5 is linked to the collection position A4. That is, the target state information B is associated with the collection position A associated with the input time immediately before the own collection time.

  FIG. 7 is a table showing an example of a linking table. Thus, the associating unit 60 associates all target state information B with the collection position A. The associating unit 60 stores the associating collection position A and the target state information B in the storage unit 32 as an associating table. That is, the association table is information indicating the relationship between the collection position A and the target state information B belonging to the collection position A. The association table includes information indicating the relationship with the target state information B belonging to the collection position A by the number of the collected target state information B. Furthermore, the linking table shows the relationship between the collection position A, the target state information B belonging to the collection position A, and the collection time at which the target state information B was collected.

  FIG. 7 is a table showing an example of a linking table. In the example of FIG. 7, in the association table, the target state information B1 and B2 belong to the collection position A1, the target state information B3 belongs to the collection position A2, the target state information B4 belongs to the collection position A3, and the target state information B5 Is information indicating that it belongs to the sampling position A4. The collection time of each target state information B is also associated with each target state information B.

  The associating unit 60 creates the associating table based on the input time and the sampling time in this manner, and links the sampling position A and the target state information B. In this way, by associating the collection position A and the target state information B based on the input time and the collection time, it is possible to confirm later the imaging data of which place 110 the target state information B is. It becomes.

  Further, the associating unit 60 may change the associating relationship between the collection position A and the target state information B by the input of the worker H. For example, in the association table shown in FIG. 7, the target state information B2 is associated with the collection position A1. In this case, when the operator H inputs to change the target state information B2 to the sampling position A2, the linking unit 60 modifies the linking table so that the target state information B2 is linked to the sampling position A2. To do.

  The linking table created in this way by the linking unit 60 is stored in the storage unit 22. The communication unit 26 transmits the association data, that is, the collection position A and the target state information B associated with each other to the external server 14. The external server 14 stores this association table. As a result, the linking table is accumulated in the external server 14, so that the target state information B linked to the collection position A can be appropriately confirmed after the tour.

  Further, the collection position input unit 10 may acquire the collection position A set in the past patrol, in other words, the collection position A input by the operator in the past, from the external server 14 through the communication unit 26. Here, the worker H may periodically circulate the same management target 100 with time, for example, every several months. In this case, when the map information control unit 50 reads out the map information 100A of the same management target 100, the map information control unit 50 causes the map information 100A to display the sampling position A acquired from the external server 14 and input in the past tour. . For example, the map information control unit 50 adds a marking or the like to the position of the sampling position A (place 110A) set in the past tour from the map information 100A, thereby setting the sampling position set in the past tour. A is displayed. The worker H can easily recognize which place 110 should be visited by checking the map information 100A on which the past collection position A is displayed.

  The flow of the associating process between the collection position A and the target state information B described above will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing for associating position information and location information. As shown in FIG. 8, when the operator H circulates the management target 100, the sampling position input unit 10 displays map information 100 </ b> A of the management target 100 to be circulated by the map information control unit 50 on the output unit 24. (Step S10). After displaying the map information 100A, the sampling position acquisition unit 52 acquires the sampling position A (step S12). That is, when the worker H reaches the place 110 where the target state information B is collected, the worker H inputs the collection position A indicating the place 110 to the input unit 20. The sampling position acquisition unit 52 acquires the sampling position A input by the worker H. If the sampling position A is acquired, the position input time acquisition unit 54 acquires the input time at which the sampling position A is acquired (step S14). The position input time acquisition unit 54 associates the collection position A with the input time, and causes the storage unit 22 to store when (which time) the collection position A was acquired as an input time relationship table.

  After the input time is acquired, the target state information collection unit 12 collects the target state information B by the target state information acquisition unit 38 (step S16). When the worker H acquires the collection position A and the input time, the worker H operates the collection position input unit 10 to collect the target state information B of the place 110 reached by the worker H. That is, the target state information acquisition unit 38 collects the target state information B by the operation of the worker H. After the target state information B is collected, the target state information collection unit 12 acquires the collection time at which the target state information B is collected by the information collection time acquisition unit 40 (step S18). The information collection time acquisition unit 40 associates the target state information B with the collection time and causes the storage unit 32 to store when (which time) the target state information B was acquired as a collection time relation table. . The target state information acquisition unit 38 may collect the target state information B a plurality of times according to the operation of the worker H. In this case, the information collection time acquisition unit 40 acquires the collection time for each target state information B.

  Thereafter, the sampling position input unit 10 determines whether or not the next sampling position A is input (step S20). When the next sampling position A is input (step S20; Yes), the process returns to step S12 and is input. Then, the next sampling position A is acquired, and the subsequent processing is repeated. That is, when there is a place 110 to be visited next, the worker H moves to the place 110, inputs the collection position A of the place 110, and collects the target state information B at the place 110.

  On the other hand, when the next collection position A is not input (step S20; No), the collection position input unit 10 determines whether the collection of the target state information B has ended (step S22). For example, when the worker H inputs to the input unit 20 that the collection of the target state information B has been completed, the collection position input unit 10 determines that the collection of the target state information B has been completed, and the input If there is no, it is determined that the collection of the target state information B has not ended. If the collection position input unit 10 determines that the collection of the target state information B has not ended (step S22; No), the collection position input unit 10 returns to step S20 and accepts the input of the next collection position A.

  When the collection position input unit 10 determines that the collection of the target state information B has ended (step S22; Yes), the target state information collection unit 12 causes the target state information collection unit 12 to collect the target state information B, the collection time, and the like. Is acquired (step S24). After acquiring the target state information B and the collection time, the collection position input unit 10 associates the target state information B and the collection position A with the association unit 60 (step S26). The associating unit 60 associates the collection position A and the target state information B based on the input time and the collection time. Thereby, the linking process between the collection position A and the target state information B is completed.

  Next, the notification unit 62 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. The notification unit 62 notifies the worker H that the sampling position A is input. As described above, the collection position input unit 10 acquires the collection position A by the input of the worker H. Therefore, if the worker H has actually moved to the next place 110 (for example, the place 112) but forgot to update the collection position A, the object collected at the next place 110 (the place 112) There is a possibility that the state information B is tied to the previous location 110 (location 111). On the other hand, the notification unit 62 notifies the worker H that the sampling position A is to be input, thereby prompting the worker H to input the sampling position A, and the association of the target state information B becomes inaccurate. Suppress. In the present embodiment, the notification unit 62 notifies the output unit 24 of information for instructing to newly input the collection position A when a predetermined time has elapsed since the input time when the collection position A was last acquired. Let For example, the notification unit 62 may cause the output unit 24 as a display unit to display information instructing to newly input the sampling position A, or to instruct to input a new sampling position A. The voice or vibration may be output to the output unit 24. When the worker H recognizes this notification, the worker H newly inputs the sampling position A. When the worker H has not moved the place 110 yet, the worker H may designate the same place 110 as the previous time, or may input that the place 110 has not been moved yet.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a notification flow for inputting position information. The notification unit 62 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the acquisition of the sampling position A (step S30). If the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S30; No), the notification unit 62 returns to step S30 and continues the determination. When the predetermined time has elapsed (step S30; Yes), the notification unit 62 determines whether the collection of the target state information B has ended (step S34). When the notification unit 62 determines that the collection of the target state information B has ended (step S34; Yes), the notification unit 62 ends this process. Further, when it is determined that the collection of the target state information B has not ended (step S34; No), the notification unit 62 notifies the worker H that the collection position A is to be input (step S36).

  The notification unit 62 may list the types of target state information B that the worker H should collect and notify the worker H of the types. In this case, the storage unit 22 stores the type of target state information B to be collected (for example, the image data of the device 110a and the state value of the device 110a). When the collection position acquisition unit 52 acquires the collection position A, the notification unit 62 reads out the type of the target state information B to be collected at the place 110 from the storage unit 22. The notification unit 62 notifies the worker H of the type of the read target state information B by the output unit 24. The operator H can recognize what kind of target state information B needs to be collected at the place 110 by recognizing the notification of the type of the target state information B. Can be collected appropriately. In particular, when there are a plurality of types of target state information B to be collected, forgetting to collect the target state information B can be effectively suppressed by performing such notification. As the notification of the type of the target state information B, for example, information indicating the type of the target state information B may be displayed on the output unit 24 as a display unit, or the type of the target state information B is indicated. Audio or the like may be output to the output unit 24. Examples of the plurality of types of target state information B to be collected include combinations of image data and state values, image data at different angles or locations, and the like.

  As described above, the target state information management system 1 according to the present embodiment manages the target state information B, which is information indicating the state of the management target 100 collected by the worker H for each position while moving the position. And a collection position acquisition unit 52, a position input time acquisition unit 54, a target state information collection unit and a collection time acquisition unit (target information acquisition unit 56), and a linking unit 60. The collection position acquisition unit 52 acquires the collection position A. The collection position A is information input from the H through the collection position input unit 10 by the worker at each timing before the collection of the target state information B for each position is executed. It is information indicating each collected position. The position input time acquisition unit 54 acquires an input time, which is a time when each sampling position A is input, in association with each sampling position A. The target state information acquisition unit acquires target state information B. The target state information B is information collected by the worker H through the target state information collecting unit 12. The collection time acquisition unit acquires a collection time, which is a time at which each target state information B is collected, in association with each target state information B. The associating unit 60 includes the collection position A acquired by the position input time acquisition unit 54 and the input time thereof, the target state information B acquired by the target information acquisition unit 56 (information collection time acquisition unit), and the collection time thereof. The target state information B acquired by the target information acquisition unit 56 (target state information acquisition unit) is linked to the sampling position A acquired by the sampling position acquisition unit 52. And the associating unit 60 is a target whose sampling time is after the input time of the first sampling position and before the input time of the second sampling position input immediately after the first sampling position. The state information B is linked to the first collection position.

  Here, the management target 100 is periodically circulated by the worker H, and the target state information B of each place 110 is collected. Since the target state information B is information indicating the state of the management target 100, it is used for managing the management target 100. However, if the target state information B is not recorded as to which location 110 information, the target state information B of which location 110 is not known, and appropriate management cannot be performed. Therefore, when collecting the target state information B, it is necessary to record which location 110 the information is. For the recording, the position where the target state information B is collected may be grasped by using communication means such as GPS. In this case, however, the location cannot be recognized at a place 110 where GPS communication is not possible, such as underground. In addition, a device that collects the target state information B during patrol uses a battery as a power source. The communication for acquiring the position information requires a large amount of electric power. Further, if communication is performed every time the target state information B is collected, the power consumption is further increased. In this case, the power consumption of the apparatus increases, and there is a possibility that a large amount of target state information B cannot be collected.

  In addition, a location may be obtained by providing a transmitter for each location 110 and receiving a signal from the transmitter. However, in this case, since it is necessary to provide a transmitter for each location 110, the cost becomes high, and it becomes difficult to provide a transmitter for facilities under construction. As described above, it may not be appropriate to grasp the position by communication with the outside.

  On the other hand, the target state information management system 1 according to the present embodiment grasps the position where the target state information B is collected, that is, the collection position A, by inputting the collection position input unit 10 carried by the worker H. Then, the target state information management system 1 grasps the time when the sampling position A is input and the time when the target state information B is collected, and based on those times, the sampling position A and the target state information B Perform tying. Therefore, the target state information management system 1 can identify the position from which the target state information B is to be collected without performing communication, and further performs the association based on the time. The association with the information B can be performed with high accuracy. Further, the target state information management system 1 is the target state information B collected at a time after the time at which the collection position A is set, and before the time at which the collection position A immediately after the collection position A is set. The target state information B collected in the above is linked to the collection position A. Accordingly, the target state information management system 1 can appropriately associate the collection position A and the target state information B without inputting the collection position A every time the target state information B is collected.

  Moreover, since the target state information management system 1 can perform the linking process after the tour is completed, the power consumption of the collection position input unit 10 during the tour can be suppressed.

  In addition, the communication unit 26 acquires the collection position A that the worker H has input in the past through communication with the external server 14. The target state information management system 1 can easily recognize which place 110 the operator H should visit by referring to the past collection position A by acquiring the past collection position A. Can do.

  In addition, the communication unit 26 transmits the collection position A and the target state information B associated with each other to the external server 14. Since the target state information management system 1 can accumulate the sampling position A and the target state information B linked to the external server 14, the target state linked to the sampling position A as appropriate after the tour. Information B can be confirmed.

  In addition, the target state information management system 1 includes a notification unit 62. The notification unit 62 notifies that the sampling position A is input again when a predetermined time has elapsed after the worker H inputs the sampling position A. If the worker H forgets to update the collection position A, the target state information B may be associated with the wrong collection position A. On the other hand, the notification unit 62 urges the operator H to input the collection position A by notifying that the collection position A is input after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the association of the target state information B becomes inaccurate. To suppress that.

  The target state information B includes the image data of the management target 100 captured by the target state information collecting unit 12 that is an imaging device. The target state information management system 1 can appropriately manage the management target 100 by collecting image data as the target state information B.

  Further, the target state information B includes the state value of the management target 100 detected by the target state information collecting unit 12. The target state information management system 1 can appropriately manage the management target 100 by collecting state values as the target state information B.

  Further, the linking unit 60 changes the linking between the target state information B and the collection position A based on the input of the worker H. By making the association relationship changeable in this way, the association of the target state information B can be made more accurate.

  In the target state information management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the collection position input unit 10 that inputs the collection position A and the target state information collection unit 12 that collects the target state information B are different devices. By using another device in this way, any target state information collecting unit 12 can be used, and the target state information B can be flexibly acquired. However, the collection position input unit 10 and the target state information collection unit 12 that collects the target state information B may be a single device.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic block diagram of a target state information management system according to another example of the present embodiment. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the position information input unit and the target state information collection unit are integrated. The collection position input unit 10A included in the target state information management system 1A illustrated in FIG. 10 collects the target state information B while receiving the input of the collection position A. The collection position input unit 10A includes an input unit 20, a storage unit 22, an output unit 24, a communication unit 26, a control unit 28A, and a target state information acquisition unit 38. The control unit 28A includes a map information control unit 50, a sampling position acquisition unit 52, a position input time acquisition unit 54, a target information acquisition unit 56A, a linking unit 60, and a notification unit 62. In the collection position input unit 10A, the target state information acquisition unit 38 collects the target state information B. Further, the target information acquisition unit 56A acquires the target state information B collected by the target state information acquisition unit 38, and acquires the collection time at which the target state information B was collected. The target information acquisition unit 56A generates a collection time relationship table based on the target state information B and the collection time. The sampling position input unit 10A has the same functions as the sampling position input unit 10 shown in FIG. The collection position input unit 10 </ b> A can be reduced in the number of portable terminals formed by the worker H by being an integrated device.

  In this embodiment, the collection position input unit 10 associates the collection position A with the target state information B. However, the collection position A and the target state information B may be associated with each other than the collection position input unit 10. FIG. 11 is a schematic block diagram of a target state information management system according to another example of the present embodiment. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the external server 14B performs association. A target state information management system 1B illustrated in FIG. 11 includes a collection position input unit 10B, a target state information collection unit 12, and an external server 14B. The collection position input unit 10B is the same as the collection position input unit 10 illustrated in FIG. 2 except that the control unit 28B does not include the target information acquisition unit 56 and the linking unit 60. The external server 14B includes a target information acquisition unit 56 and a linking unit 60. The target information acquisition unit 56 acquires the input time relationship table, that is, the sampling position A and the input time, from the sampling position input unit 10B. Further, the target information acquisition unit 56 acquires the collection time relationship table, that is, the target state information B and the collection time, from the target state information collection unit 12. The associating unit 60 associates the collection position A acquired by the target information acquiring unit 56 with the target state information B. As described above, the external server 14 performs the association, so that the collection position input unit 10B does not need to perform the association, and the power consumption of the collection position input unit 10B that is a portable terminal can be suppressed. The target information acquisition unit 56 and the linking unit 60 may be provided in the target state information collection unit 12.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, embodiment is not limited by the content of these embodiment etc. In addition, the above-described constituent elements include those that can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, and those in a so-called equivalent range.
