Then, the operation monitoring unit 107 further extracts those whose inspection status is "uninspected" or "under inspection" from among the extracted managed objects A, and creates a list of the extracted managed objects A for each managed object A. The message is sent to the destination specified in advance.

Next, the flow of the operation management method for the managed object A by the server device 5 according to the first embodiment will be explained. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation management method by the server device 5. The process shown in FIG. 11 is repeatedly executed by the server device 5 on a regular basis.

First, the transmission control unit 105 refers to the operation information for each managed object A from the data storage unit 102 (step S101). The transmission control unit 105 starts controlling the transmission of alarm information and operation information regarding the managed object A when the relationship between the current time and the usage period specified by the operation information becomes a predetermined relationship (step S102). Specifically, the transmission control unit 105 refers to the equipment basic information and inspection information corresponding to the managed object A from the data storage unit 102 (step S103).

Then, the transmission control unit 105 determines whether the "uninspected alert" included in the equipment basic information is set to "present" (step S104). As a result of the determination, if the "uninspected alert" is set to "present" (step S104; Yes), the transmission control unit 105 sets the "inspection status" included in the inspection information to "uninspected". It is determined whether or not this has been done (step S105). As a result of the determination, if the "inspection status" included in the inspection information is set to "uninspected" (step S105; Yes), the transmission control unit 105 causes the first transmission to transmit an uninspected alert. section 103 is controlled, and the process returns to step S102.

On the other hand, if the "Uninspected Alert" is not set to "Yes" (Step S104; No), or if the "Inspection Status" is not set to "Not Inspected" (Step S105; Yes), The transmission control unit 105 determines whether the "operation approval setting" included in the equipment basic information is set to "Yes" (step S107). As a result of the determination, if the "operation approval setting" is set to "Yes" (step S107; Yes), the transmission control unit 105 changes the "inspection status" included in the inspection information to "inspection completed". It is determined whether it has been set (step S108).

As a result of the above determination, if the "inspection status" is set to "inspection completed" (step S108; Yes), the transmission control section 105 controls the second transmission section 104 to transmit the operation information. (Step S109). After that, the driving permission unit 106 and the driving monitoring unit 107 execute driving permission processing and monitoring of the driving situation in response to receiving the permission instruction (step S110).

On the other hand, in the determination in step S107, if the "setting of driving approval" is not set to "Yes" (step S107; No), the process is moved to step S110, and the processing of driving permission and the driving status are performed. Monitoring is performed. In the determination of step S108, if the "inspection status" is not set to "inspection completed" (step S108; No), the process returns to step S102.

The effects of the operation management system 1 according to the embodiment described above will be explained.

In this embodiment, the first transmitter 103 sends an uninspected alert to the destination corresponding to each of the plurality of managed objects A, and the first transmitter 103 sends an uninspected alert to the corresponding destination for each managed object A, and A second transmitter 104 that transmits an operation screen address for receiving permission is provided. Then, as a result of determining whether the inspection has been completed or not completed for each of the plurality of managed objects A according to the type information stored in the data storage section 102, the first transmitting section 103 or the second transmitting section 104 By operating either of them, either the uninspected alert or the operation screen address is sent to a pre-registered destination. As a result, for example, manufacturing plant equipment, etc., which require inspection management and operation permission, and construction machinery, construction machinery, etc., which only require inspection implementation management. It is possible to automatically switch the information to be transmitted regarding the target object. As a result, operational safety can be efficiently improved depending on the type of managed object A, such as function, purpose, size, etc.

Further, in this embodiment, after the second transmitting unit 104 is operated and the operation screen address is transmitted to the destination, if a permission instruction is received from the destination using the operation screen address, the management target Driving operation of object A is permitted. As a result, the safety of driving the managed object A can be further improved.

Further, in this embodiment, since the managed object A can be operated when the permission instruction is received, the safety of driving the managed object A can be reliably improved.

[Second embodiment]

FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a server device 5A, which is an operation management device according to the second embodiment. The server device 5A according to the second embodiment further includes a user authentication section (user authentication means) 108, the functional configuration of the second transmitting section 104A, the driving permission section 106A, and the data management section 101A, and the schedule information. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that data stored by a data storage unit 102A functioning as a storage unit and a user information storage unit is added. In the following, only the points different from the first embodiment will be explained.

The user authentication unit 108 is a user authentication means for authenticating the user of the terminal device 2. When authenticating a user, the user authentication unit 108 refers to the worker database, object database, and operation information (schedule information) stored in the data storage unit 102A.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a data structure of driving information stored in the data storage section 102A. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the structure of data in the worker database stored in the data storage unit 102A. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the structure of data in the object database stored in the data storage unit 102A.

As described above, the driving information is registered in the data storage unit 102A using the driving information input update screen transmitted by the data management unit 101A. The operation information registered by the data management unit 101A includes "equipment management information" that identifies the managed object A to be used, "use start date", "use end date", and "use end date" indicating the period of scheduled use. "Usage start time" and "Use end time" are associated with "belonging group," which is group information that specifies the group of users who are scheduled to use the service. For example, regarding a period including "Use start date: 2021/11/29", "Use end date: 2021/11/30", "Use start time: 9:00", and "Use end time: 17:00" "Affiliated group: A construction" is registered as group information associated with the information and "equipment management information: K1234."

The worker database is data for managing users who use the terminal device 2. The worker database contains the "user ID" which is user identification information that identifies the user, the "group belonging" which is information that identifies the group to which the user belongs, and the personal authentication used to authenticate the user. "Personal authentication data storage address" indicating the data storage location in the server device 5A corresponds to "qualification held" which is permission type information indicating the type of managed object A that the user is permitted to use. It is registered with. For example, "User ID: ID01", "Group: A construction", "Personal authentication data storage address: /data folder 1/aaa.dat", "Vehicle-based construction equipment: 1, aerial work vehicle: 1, dump truck: 0, and crane: 0" are registered in association with each other. In this case, the user identified by "User ID: ID01" belongs to the "A construction" group, and the "vehicle construction machinery" and This means that the person is qualified to use managed object A of the type "high-altitude work vehicle."

The object database is data for managing the types of qualifications required when a user uses the managed object A. In the target object database, "equipment management information" that identifies the managed object A and "required qualification" that indicates the type of qualification required when using the managed object A are registered in association with each other. For example, "vehicle-based construction equipment: 1, aerial work vehicle: 0, dump truck: 0, crane: 0" are registered in association with "equipment management information: K1234." In this case, when using managed object A identified by "equipment management information: K1234", the qualification of "vehicle type construction machinery" indicated by flag "1" in the "required qualification" data is required. This means that the type is required.

The user authentication unit 108 executes authentication processing regarding the user of the terminal device 2 to which the second inspection information is received when the second inspection information is accepted by the data management unit 101A. Furthermore, when the operation permitting section 106A transmits permission information for permitting operation of the managed object A to the terminal device 2, the user authentication section 108 executes authentication processing regarding the user of the terminal device 2.

That is, before the data management unit 101A transmits the data of the input update screen for accepting the second inspection information to the terminal device 2, the user authentication unit 108 inputs the target managed object A from the terminal device 2. The "equipment management information" which is the target object identification information to be specified, the "user ID" which is the user identification information which identifies the user of the terminal device 2, and the authentication information used for user authentication are received. The authentication information to be received is face image data if the authentication process is performed by face recognition, fingerprint image data if the authentication process is performed by fingerprint authentication, and iris image data if the authentication process is performed by iris recognition. However, when the authentication process is performed using password authentication, password data is used. However, the type of authentication processing performed by the user authentication unit 108 is not particularly limited.

Then, the user authentication unit 108 refers to the worker database stored in the data storage unit 102A based on the “user ID” received from the terminal device 2, and determines the “group to which the user belongs” associated with the “user ID”. Refer to the information on "personal authentication data storage address" and "qualifications held". Furthermore, the user authentication unit 108 refers to the operation information and object database stored in the data storage unit 102A based on the “equipment management information” received from the terminal device 2, and determines whether the information is associated with the “equipment management information”. Please refer to the “Group you belong to” and “Required Qualifications”. At this time, the user authentication unit 108 refers to data including information on a scheduled period of use close to the current time as the operation information data corresponding to the "equipment management information." For example, reference is made to data that includes a time within a predetermined time from the current time as information on the scheduled usage period.

The user authentication unit 108 executes authentication processing for the user of the terminal device 2 in the following manner based on the referenced information. First, the user authentication unit 108 determines whether the "group you belong to" associated with the "equipment management information" referenced from the operation information matches the "group you belong to" associated with the "user ID". do. This determination is a process for determining whether the user of the terminal device 2 belongs to the group registered in the driving information as a group of users who are scheduled to use the managed object A. Furthermore, if the user authentication unit 108 determines that the "groups to which it belongs" match, the user authentication unit 108 determines that the type of qualification indicated by the "qualification held" associated with the "user ID" is associated with the "equipment management information". Stabilize whether the type of qualification indicated by "required qualification" is included. This determination is a process for determining whether the user of the terminal device 2 is qualified to use the managed object A that is scheduled to be used. When the user authentication unit 108 determines that the user of the terminal device 2 is qualified to use the terminal device 2, the user authentication unit 108 uses the authentication information received from the terminal device 2 and the authentication data stored in the “personal authentication data storage address”. By comparing, the user of the terminal device 2 is authenticated.

The user authentication unit 108 determines that the user authentication is successful when the authentication information and the authentication data are successfully compared as a result of the authentication process. On the other hand, if the user authentication unit 108 determines that the user of the terminal device 2 does not belong to the group registered in the driving information, or the user of the terminal device 2 is qualified to use the managed object A that is scheduled to be used. If it is determined that the authentication information does not have the authentication information, or if the verification of the authentication information and the authentication data fails, the user authentication is determined to have failed.

In addition, before the operation permission unit 106A transmits permission information for permitting operation of the managed object A to the terminal device 2, the user authentication unit 108 performs an authentication process for the user of the terminal device 2 in the same manner as described above. Execute.

When registering operation information in the data storage unit 102A based on the information received from the terminal device 2, the data management unit 101A associates it with “equipment management information” that identifies the managed object A that is the target of operation management. It also has a function to register information on "belonging group", which is group information that specifies the group of users who are planning to use the service. Specifically, a "user ID" that identifies a user is received from the terminal device 2, the worker database stored in the data storage unit 102A is referred to based on the "user ID", and the data is associated with the "user ID". The "group to which it belongs" is registered in the operation information in association with the "equipment management information".

Furthermore, when the user authentication unit 108 determines that the authentication is successful when receiving the second inspection information from the terminal device 2, the data management unit 101A transmits the data of the inspection information input update screen to the terminal device 2. , the second inspection information can be accepted. On the other hand, if the user authentication unit 108 determines that the authentication has failed when receiving the second inspection information from the terminal device 2, the input of the second inspection information is rejected and the second inspection information is not sent to the terminal device 2. The fact that the application cannot be accepted is notified by sending screen data or the like.

When transmitting the operation screen address to the destination corresponding to the managed object A, the second transmitter 104A notifies the terminal device 2 of the user who plans to use the managed object A that the inspection has been completed. Send the inspection completion information shown. At this time, the destination of the terminal device 2 of the user who plans to use the managed object A is specified, for example, by referring to the operating information regarding the managed object A registered in the data storage section 102A.

When the inspection completion information is transmitted to the terminal device 2 by the second transmitting section 104A, and when the user authentication section 108 determines that the user authentication of the terminal device 2 is successful, the driving permission section 106A performs the following operations: Permission information that permits operation of the managed object A is transmitted to the terminal device 2. Examples of the permission information include code information used to unlock the managed object A when starting its operation. On the other hand, when the inspection completion information is transmitted to the terminal device 2 by the second transmitting section 104A, the driving permission section 106A determines that the user authentication section 108 has failed to authenticate the user of the terminal device 2. In this case, rejection information for refusing operation of the managed object A is transmitted to the terminal device 2.

Next, the flow of the operation management method for the managed object A by the server device 5A according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the flow of inspection information registration control processing performed by the server device 5A. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of the driving permission process by the server device 5A. The process shown in FIG. 17 is periodically and repeatedly executed by the server device 5A.

First, the flow of inspection information registration control processing will be explained with reference to FIG. The user authentication unit 108 receives "equipment management information", "user ID", and authentication information from the terminal device 2 before receiving the second inspection information (step S201). Accordingly, the user authentication unit 108 creates a worker database associated with the "user ID," operation information associated with the "equipment management information," and an object database associated with the "equipment management information." is referenced (step S202).

Thereafter, the user authentication unit 108 starts authentication processing (step S203). Specifically, the user authentication unit 108 determines whether the "user ID" included in the driving information matches the "user ID" included in the worker database (step S204). As a result of the determination, if the "user IDs" match (step S204; Yes), the user authentication unit 108 adds the "required qualifications" included in the object database to the "qualifications held" included in the worker database. It is determined whether the type of qualification indicated by is included (step S205). As a result of the determination, if the type of qualification indicated by "required qualification" is included (step S205; Yes), the user authentication unit 108 determines whether or not the verification of the authentication information and the authentication data was successful. (Step S206).

As a result of the above determination, if the verification of the authentication information and the authentication data is successful (step S206; Yes), the data management unit 101A transmits the data of the inspection information input update screen to the terminal device 2. (Step S207). In response, the data management unit 101A receives the second inspection information from the terminal device 2, and registers the first inspection information regarding the managed object A based on the second inspection information (step S208). On the other hand, if the authentication process fails, that is, if the "user IDs" do not match (step S204; No), or if the type of qualification indicated by "required qualification" is not included (step S205) ; No), or if the verification of the authentication information and the authentication data fails (step S206; No), the data management unit 101A informs the terminal device 2 that the second inspection information cannot be accepted. It is notified (step S209).

Next, the flow of the driving permission process will be explained with reference to FIG. 17. First, the server device 5A executes a process similar to the process of steps S101 to S109 (FIG. 11) by the server device 5 according to the first embodiment, and controls the transmission of operation information regarding the managed object A. Thereafter, the second transmitting unit 104A transmits inspection completion information to the terminal device 2, and in response, the user authentication unit 108 transmits “equipment management information”, “user ID”, and authentication information from the terminal device 2. It is received (step S301). Thereafter, authentication processing is executed by the user authentication unit 108 in the same manner as steps S202 to S206 shown in FIG. 16 (steps S302 to S306).

As a result of the authentication process, if the authentication process is successful (step S306; Yes), the driving permission unit 106A transmits permission information regarding the managed object A to the terminal device 2, and then the driving monitoring unit 107 The operating status of managed object A is monitored (step S307). On the other hand, if the authentication process is determined to have failed (step S304; No, step S305; No, step S306; No), the driving permission unit 106A transmits refusal information to the terminal device 2 (step S308).

According to the server device 5A according to the second embodiment described above, when the authentication of the user of the terminal device 2 is successful, the second inspection information is received from the terminal device 2 of the user, and the second inspection information is received from the terminal device 2 of the user. First inspection information is registered based on the information. As a result, it is possible to safely manage the completion/uncompletion of inspections for each managed object A, and it is possible to sufficiently improve driving safety for various types of managed objects A.

Further, when the authentication of the user of the terminal device 2 is determined to have failed, the terminal device 2 of the user is notified that the second inspection information cannot be accepted. As a result, it is possible to safely manage the completion/uncompletion of inspections for each managed object A, and it is possible to sufficiently improve driving safety for various types of managed objects A.

Further, when the authentication of the user of the terminal device 2 is determined to be successful, information permitting the operation of the managed object A is transmitted to the terminal device 2 of the user. As a result, each managed object A can be operated safely, and the operational safety of various types of managed objects A can be sufficiently increased.

In addition, when the user of the terminal device 2 is authenticated, it is determined whether or not the user belongs to the group of users who are scheduled to use the managed object A, and the type to which the managed object A belongs. It is determined whether permission is granted. As a result, it is authenticated whether the user is a qualified person of the group scheduled to use managed object A, and secure authentication of users for each group is realized, and for various types of managed object A. , driving safety can be sufficiently increased.
