DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a meeting system using an electronic blackboard used for a meeting at a construction site.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, it is said that the number of workers who work in a construction work site per day is about 1/5 of all workers to be managed in the work site. That is,
Workers of various industries and contractors are working every day, but workers are frequently replaced on a daily basis according to work processes.

[0003] In general, in a workplace of a certain size, the number of companies (contractors) and occupations related to even a single day becomes several tens to one hundred. The meeting is indispensable.

[0004] Therefore, in a work place such as a construction work where various types of industries and contractors are mixed and constructed, it is necessary to issue a work schedule / safety instruction by performing a preliminary meeting or the like particularly at the start of work or at a regular time. Becomes very important.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a work schedule / safety instruction sheet.

The work schedule / safety instructions include, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, companies such as affiliated companies and subcontractors, occupations, schedules,
It consists of items such as achievements, work contents, safety instructions, foreman, construction type, work place, floor, parts, etc. Even if these are summarized in units of one day, the number of lines becomes several tens to nearly one hundred. Therefore, even if these are written on a large sheet of paper, many sheets of paper are required, and it is difficult to arrange them all. In addition, in such meetings, not only work schedules and safety instructions, but also confirmation tables for incoming and outgoing vehicles, use schedules for lifting equipment,
Dangerous work instruction drawings, work content layout drawings, process control tables, etc. are also required at the same time for confirmation of work. for that reason,
A large space for presenting these tables and drawings is also required.

[0007]

As described above, in a workplace where the related companies and occupations are replaced every day as described above, these companies, occupations, and other items are confirmed one by one, and a meeting based on the work schedule and safety instructions is made. However, since the number of items increases, the size of the work schedule / safety instruction sheet increases, and there is a problem that efficiency is low in preparing and proceeding with the meeting.

For example, early delivery, overtime work, etc. are routinely performed in any work, and grasping of this report and inspection of lighting etc. are also one of the main management tasks, but many companies and places are dispersed. Therefore, the burden for inputting them is large.

[0009] In workplaces employing the recent non-scaffolding method, high-place work vehicles such as a table lift type and a crawler boom lift type have been introduced for work at high places such as ceilings. In particular, in large-scale construction, equipment such as cranes and aerial work vehicles reaches several hundreds. Then, these are introduced into the work place by a lease contract and rented out as necessary. In addition, there are cases where several foremen are kept in the luggage, but also in this case, there are extra companies and some companies that are in short supply, and the number of leases as a whole is relatively large.

However, in reality, there is a problem that the borrowing / returning status is not clear because it is in an unmanaged state, and many of them are left on site. In particular, in the case of a battery system, if the battery is discharged, it becomes unusable and is left as it is. Also, in high-rise buildings, it takes time to search for empty equipment even if it is available. As a result, the amount of play equipment increases, and in large-scale construction where it takes, for example, 20 months from construction to completion,
There is a problem that enormous leasing costs are required for empty equipment during that time.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can handle a large amount of information in a normal meeting space without a large space. It is an object of the present invention to provide a meeting system using an electronic blackboard capable of performing a meeting.

[0012]

For this purpose, the present invention provides an input means having a function of inputting coordinates from a panel, an output means having a function of projecting electronic information on the panel,
Data processing means for performing predetermined processing such as creation, retrieval, editing, and tallying of forms, tables, and drawings by associating the information projected on the panel with the output means and the coordinate input information of the input means; The processing means expands, in a window, a registration list of designated names in which a handwritten input selection field is added to the entry field of designated items in a form or table input process by inputting one point of coordinates into a window, and from the registration list, Is specified, the specified target name is entered in the specified item, and if the handwriting input selection field is specified, a handwriting input window and an input area are displayed in the window, and the input area is displayed in the input area. It is characterized in that handwritten information input by handwriting is entered as a designation target name of a designated item and is projected on the panel.

The input means has an image input function, and the data processing means projects the input image on a panel using the output means, and can set a partition on the image data by inputting coordinates. Further, a selection item of a handwriting mode is provided in a window for expanding a list of designated target items, and in the handwriting mode, handwritten characters can be input from a panel using a coordinate input function. Things.

[0014]

In a meeting system using an electronic blackboard according to the present invention, electronic information is developed and projected on a panel using output means, and coordinate values are input from the panel to correspond to the electronic information projected on the panel. Since it is recognized and processed, the forms, tables and drawings stored in the storage device in advance can be displayed on the panel and freely written in the columns therein on the panel. Therefore, a meeting can be performed in the same manner as when a conventional blackboard is used.

The work place management system described in Japanese Patent No. 2455 can be used in combination with the meeting system using the electronic blackboard of the present invention.

Next, the system configuration and operation will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a meeting system using the electronic blackboard of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a screen projected on the electronic blackboard by the electronic OHP, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data configuration.

In FIG. 2, an analysis unit 21 analyzes input data with reference to a character or image CG (character generator) 27 in accordance with an operation mode held in an output mode table 26, and performs input processing, form It executes table / drawing creation processing, arithmetic processing, figure processing, and the like.

The input data processing section 22 inputs the character code and the address (coordinate position) for character information, for example, and inputs the address of each pixel constituting the image for image information such as image information. Perform input processing.

The form / table / drawing creation processing unit 31 includes a form,
Each format 35 of a table and a drawing is stored, and input data is processed according to the format 35 to create a form, a table and a drawing. At general construction work sites, in addition to work schedules and safety instructions, confirmation tables for incoming and outgoing vehicles, use schedules for lifting equipment, drawings for hazardous work instructions, work content layout drawings, process control tables, etc. are used. . The arithmetic processing unit 32 stores the arithmetic information 36, and performs totaling of forms and tables, totaling of scheduled and actual information, and the like. As described above, the performance information is individual information of each worker or information on the use of equipment read by the entrance / exit of the work place or a card reader in the work place. List of visitors and labor schedules by company, labor schedule by construction type,
Work breakdown tables, labor transition tables, personnel transition graphs, and the like can be created. The graphic processing section 33 stores the graphic information 37 and develops the graphic to be output. The database 24 stores input data, data read from a card reader at a work place, tabulated and edited, and data processed by a form / table / drawing creation processing unit 31, an arithmetic processing unit 32, and a graphic processing unit 33. Things. The output processing unit 25 outputs data to the liquid crystal display unit 28, a display, and a printer with reference to a CG (character generator) of characters and images, and outputs data such as an output screen, an operation mode, and other output states and operation modes. It is held in the output mode table 26.

An example of data input processing in a work schedule / safety instruction, which is displayed on a liquid crystal display unit and projected on an electronic blackboard using an OHP, will be described.

As described above, the work schedule / safety instruction sheet has a large number of items and many lines and cannot be displayed on the electronic blackboard. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 3, the items are divided by a predetermined number of lines. It is displayed. Therefore, the work schedule / safety instruction for one day is composed of several pages, and is managed for several days. Therefore, the screen of the work schedule / safety instruction written on the electronic blackboard is provided with keys for screen selection and processing mode selection.

In FIG. 3A, for example, reference numeral 41 denotes a page selection switching key. When a numeral is selected, the screen is switched to the selected number of pages. Reference numeral 42 denotes a screen selection switching key, which is A (confirmation table of loading / unloading vehicles), B
(Dangerous work instruction drawing), C (Work content layout drawing), ...
, Etc., is switched to a corresponding predetermined screen by the selection. Reference numeral 43 denotes a shift operation key for shifting a screen in which no items can be entered and the horizontal (right) side overflows. Reference numeral 44 denotes a day designation key. When the numeral portion of the date is selected, the numeric keypad is displayed in a pop-up, and the screen is switched to the corresponding work date / safety instruction screen according to the designation with the numeric keypad. Reference numeral 45 denotes a processing mode selection key. For example, an input key sets a mode for inputting (executing and fixing) data, an item cancel key sets a mode for selectively canceling an item, and a write key writes data to each item. Mode.

Next, an outline of the overall operation will be described assuming that a work schedule / safety instruction sheet in which no information is input in a preset format is developed by the data processing device and projected on the electronic blackboard by the projection device. .

First, the writing mode is set by the processing mode selection key 45. This is performed by the data processing device managing the screen projected on the electronic whiteboard by the projection device, and processing the coordinate values in the predetermined area displayed as writing to be in the writing mode. That is, when one point in a predetermined area indicated as writing is designated by a special input pen, its coordinate value is recognized by the electronic blackboard (coordinate input panel) and transferred to the data processing device. The data processing device recognizes from the state of the screen projected by the projection device that the coordinate value is a selection key for the writing mode, and waits for the next input information in the writing mode.

Then, when the shaded area shown in the figure is designated by the input pen and the coordinate value is input, the data processing apparatus recognizes that the item of the company is selected, and the window (pop-up screen) 46 as shown in the figure. To display handwriting and company list. The company list is a company registered in advance, and items are input by selecting and instructing a company name. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a tree-structured data structure is adopted for each item, and when an item is selected, a list of data is output for each item, and data is stored in the lower layer as necessary. are doing. Then, if it is not in this company list, it becomes a handwritten input.

In the case of handwriting input, as shown in FIG.
8 is displayed. Note that FIG. 3B shows an example of the screen on the right side switched by the shift operation key 43 in FIG. 3A. Therefore, when handwriting input is performed in FIG. Of course, the input area 48 is displayed together with the handwriting input window 47. Then, this input area 48
Is written with an input pen and the input processing mode selection key 45 is selected, the data processing device inputs the coordinate values as image data as the company name in the item of company. By this processing, the company name input by hand is displayed as it is in the hatched area in FIG. Each item is written in this way.

The work schedule / safety instruction is set as described above, and items of the processing mode selection key 45 are deleted, inserted,
The move and copy keys perform respective processes on the data set to be written. In addition, the work schedule / safety instruction sheet may be prepared using a keyboard, read from a storage card stored in a storage card from a card reader, or read from a hard copy from an image scanner. Not even.

Next, a description will be given of an example of managing the use schedule and overtime schedule of the equipment, the registration of the delivery route, and the like. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen in which an equipment schedule is projected on an electronic blackboard, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a storage example of image data.

The equipment schedule is used to enter the use schedule of equipment such as cranes and aerial work vehicles and manage the operation of the equipment. In the case of equipment, for example, large equipment such as a tower crane is used by several traders a day, while small equipment such as a table lifter is used exclusively by one trader per day. FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C show examples of small-sized applications in which each equipment is used exclusively by each trader.
(C) shows an example of a large-scale application in which several companies allocate time and share the time.

For example, a small equipment schedule includes fields of company name, equipment name and scheduled use time, and a large equipment schedule includes fields of company name, scheduled use time and work contents. When the company name field is designated, a list of registered company names is displayed in a window as shown in (a), and when a company name in the list is designated, the company name is designated as shown in (b). The name is written in the company name column of the equipment schedule.
By comparing the coordinate value indicated on the electronic blackboard with the position of the equipment schedule displayed on the electronic blackboard, the company name column in the indicated position, the company name in the list is recognized,
This is because it is processed. The same goes for the equipment name,
A calendar or numeric keypad is displayed in the window for work days. In the column of the scheduled use time, by indicating the position of the use start time and the use end time, respectively,
Bars as shown in (b) and (c) are drawn. Also,
The work content is entered in the handwriting mode. Of course, if the company name and the equipment name are not in the registration list, they may be entered in the handwriting mode, and the work contents may be instructed from the registration list if they are registered.

In the case of early leave and overtime work, the work area frequently changes. First, an image such as a plan view of each floor is input from an image scanner. Then, it is displayed on the electronic blackboard, and in the case of, for example, a rectangular area, the four corners are pointed and a section symbol is input to register the section. Then, an early-work / overtime schedule is displayed in the same manner as the equipment schedule, and the company name and the section overtime hours are set and input. By using the section and time of the early-work / overtime schedule created as described above as control information of air-conditioning and lighting, air-conditioning and lighting can be controlled according to the time schedule of early-work and overtime.

FIG. 6 shows an example of storing image data in the memory. A management table for image data α and β is provided, and each image data is searched from this table. ………. Each data area has an image data area and an area for storing information on the size and division of the image data, and the coordinates X ₁₁ , Y ₁₁ → X ₁₂ , Y ₁₂ →.
.. Are used to define section information. Therefore,
This image data is displayed on the screen and displayed quickly for each area.
In the case of setting overtime or the like, the coordinates of each section are converted from the coordinates of the origin of the image data, so as to recognize which area when an input such as the designation of a point is made.

Similarly, arrangement and delivery management are used to input an image and register and use a section. For example, when arranging and delivering equipment, it is possible to register the arrangement by designating where to use it in the workplace with a layout drawing, sequentially specify the delivery route from the start point to the end point sequentially, and send it to the control signal of the delivery robot. By using as, automatic delivery can be performed.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is used for a meeting at a work place has been described. However, the present invention may be similarly applied to a meeting at another meeting. Alternatively, a plurality of electronic blackboards and card readers may be connected via a communication line, and the same data may be projected on each electronic blackboard to perform a meeting, so that the meeting can be performed simultaneously in different places. Furthermore, it goes without saying that, for example, the system may be configured to be used for material management, to obtain inventory from the material entry / exit history in each section, or to total the hours of early delivery and overtime. Since a meeting can be handled by a combination of a key input device or an image scanner and an electronic blackboard, a card reader is not necessarily provided as an input means.

[0044]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the coordinate values input from the coordinate input panel are recognized in correspondence with the electronic information projected on the coordinate input panel by the projection device. Therefore, edit the data input from the data input device, coordinate input panel, and card reader, project forms, tables, and drawings onto the coordinate input panel with the projection device, and enter and correct data on the screen. A meeting can be held while doing so. In addition, data writing, updating, insertion, copying, and the like can be easily performed using a special input pen or the like conventionally used on the coordinate input panel.

Therefore, the electronic information input from each input means is projected on a coordinate input panel in a form, a table, and a drawing, and a function key is displayed on the screen so that the operation can be performed so that the screen can be appropriately selected. Thereby, the meeting can be performed more efficiently than using a conventional blackboard or paper table.

In particular, since image information read by an image scanner can be displayed on a screen and point designation and other information can be input on the screen, the image can be freely developed while a conference is being held by a plurality of members. Creation, determination, delivery control, and the like of the schedule can be performed.

Further, a form, a table, and a drawing can be selected and displayed on the electronic blackboard, and necessary data can be selected, set, and input thereon, so that a quick meeting can be performed without inputting trouble. The meeting time can be shortened.

Further, by connecting a plurality of electronic whiteboards and a projection device using a communication line and holding a meeting on the same screen, it is possible to simultaneously hold the same contents at a plurality of meeting places without a large meeting place. Can be.
