Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to processing of information for assessing used vehicles such as construction machines, mining machines, automobiles, two-wheeled vehicles, bicycles, and the like, and more particularly, a person who wants to purchase a used car can easily and sufficiently set a true vehicle state. The present invention relates to a used vehicle information processing program, a recording medium, a portable terminal, and a used vehicle information processing system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, since construction machines are used in harsh environments outdoors due to their nature, repair and replacement of parts, maintenance, and the like are frequently performed after manufacturing and sales. Since the repair cost (= machine management cost) of the entire machine increases year by year, it is normal for the user to trade in a construction machine that has been used for a certain period as a used vehicle and replace it with a new machine.
[0003]
Used vehicles have different years of use, usage environment, usage mode, etc. for each vehicle, and the soundness, reliability, lifespan, etc. of the entire vehicle and the components / equipment that make up the vehicle are different for each vehicle. It varies greatly. Corresponding to this, it has been conventionally performed to assess the value of a used product as a used product for each vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since a used vehicle has already been used by a user, it is inevitable that there are some deterioration, deformation, scratches, dirt, wear, corrosion, defects, etc. in each part, as a matter of course, unlike a new vehicle. Therefore, in order to accurately perform the price characteristics described above, it is necessary for the assessor to conduct a precise observational survey by visual inspection and collect accurate data on how much the above-described deterioration or the like has occurred in each part of the vehicle. .
[0006]
Although not clearly shown in the above prior art, conventionally, at the time of this assessment, for each vehicle, the location to be observed, the checkpoint at that location, the state / performance, etc. were listed in advance. It is common for check sheets to be prepared one by one, and at the time of the assessment, the person in charge of the assessment fills in each item while observing the vehicle in the field. Data collected by sequentially performing such operations for a large number of vehicles has been filed, for example, in an office.
[0007]
However, the data filed in this way is merely text information written on the checkerboard (check paper), and although it can be used as a reference to some extent, there is a limit to accurately grasping the actual state of the vehicle. . For this reason, even if a customer who wants to buy a used car (a person who wants to buy a used car) sees only the character information of each vehicle filed at the used vehicle dealer's office, It was difficult to fully recognize the state.
[0008]
Although the construction machine has been described as an example of the vehicle as described above, the same situation has occurred in the case of other vehicles such as mining machines, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.
[0009]
An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing program for used vehicles, a recording medium, a portable terminal, and an information processing system for used vehicles in which a person who wants to purchase a used vehicle can easily and sufficiently recognize the state of a true vehicle. .

The person in charge of the assessment selects the position of the name of the excavator 1 to be associated with the cursor by appropriate operation using the operation dial 2F, operation buttons 2Da, 2Db, mouse 2C, etc. The selection can be canceled, for example, by repeating the above-described appropriate operations.) As a result, a mark ● is displayed on the left side of the model display area 241 as shown in the figure. In the example shown in FIG. 3) is selected, and then the image (No. 3 in this example) to be associated with the selected aircraft (No. 3 in this example) while appropriately scrolling the image displayed in the entire image display area 242 is displayed. The photograph is selected by operating (for example, clicking) the operation dial section 2F, the operation button sections 2Da and 2Db, the mouse section 2C, and the like (while appropriately scrolling). When the selection is completed, by operating the “registration” button 243, the selected machine body (No. 3 in this example) and the selected image (six images shown in this example) are registered in association with each other, It is temporarily stored in the RAM 2d and stored and held (At this time, the character data file, handwritten input data, and each image data may be combined and stored as a new file for each machine, or the data format remains separate. They may be stored in a combined state using an identifier, an operator, or the like, or may be stored separately, but may be stored so as to be associated in some form upon reading). After the storage, the number of registered images (in this example, 6) is displayed in the corresponding registered number display area 241d (in the illustrated example, No. 1 has no registered image and No. 1 is registered). 2 has three images registered).
[0078]
The basic operation of registering an image displayed on the display unit 2B while selecting it has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, using the “Register All” button 244, for example, the display unit 2B at that time It is also possible to register all the photos (six in the illustrated example) displayed above (without scrolling) in a batch association with the aircraft currently selected.
[0079]
Further, the “time adjustment” button 245 is used to adjust the time of the aircraft and the image associated as described above. That is, as described above, the character data and the handwritten input data input on the sheet input screen and the handwritten input screen shown in FIG. 7, respectively, are attached with the time data when the “confirm” button is operated. As described above, each of the one or more images obtained is also given time data on the digital camera 3 side. Therefore, when data is associated and registered on the image association screen as described above, character data, handwritten input data, and all corresponding image data are converted to time data for the convenience of future data management. It is for standardizing. At this time, for example, the time on the character data side may be unified, the image data side may be unified, or another time data for management (for example, when the button 245 is operated) may be rewritten. In any case, by operating the “time adjustment” button 245, the character data, handwritten input data, and image data are unified with no deviation.
[0080]
When the association of all the image data is completed as described above, the assessor returns to the initial screen of FIG. 5 by operating an appropriate operation (for example, the operation button part 2Da at the lower left of the display part 2B). ”Button 206, or a screen transition button appropriately provided in the image association screen, etc.), the procedure proceeds to the procedure for transmitting to the next server shown in step 600 of FIG. 4.
[0081]
(6) Transmission to server (step 600)
FIG. 13 shows a transmission screen (in other words, the character data, handwritten input data, and image data associated in step 500 are displayed on the display unit 2B by the transmission processing program 116 by an appropriate operation on the screen image association screen. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a screen for prompting an instruction to determine whether to transmit to server 5.
[0082]
In FIG. 13, a “send” button 251, an “acknowledgment confirmation” button 252, a “reception received deletion” button 253, and a “return” 254 button are provided at the bottom of the screen displayed on the display unit 2 B. In addition, on the upper part of these buttons 251 to 254, a transmission / reception status display area 255 for combined data for each hydraulic excavator 1 is displayed in order.
[0083]
The assessor operates the “Send” button 251 when the association of the character data, the handwritten input data, and the image data is completed as described above and the screen shifts to this screen. As a result, the character data, handwritten input data, and image data stored in the state associated with each other in the RAM 2d of the terminal main body 2A as described above are read again by the transmission processing program 116, and the associated state data ( Hereinafter, the data is output to the server 5 via the Internet by the communication interface 2b. At this time, actually, for example, the combined data is sequentially output for each body of the hydraulic excavator 1.
[0084]
At this time, the transmission / reception status display area 255 includes a data number display area 255a, a model display area 255b, a machine number display area 255c corresponding to each hydraulic excavator 1, and a transmission status (portable terminal 2) of the machine. A transmission status display area 255d for displaying (whether or not the transmission from the terminal 5 has been completed) and a reception status display area 255e for displaying the reception (incoming) status at the server 5 (whether or not the reception has been completed at the server 5). . In the transmission status display area 255d, after the transmission is started by operating the “transmission” button 251 as described above, “complete” is automatically displayed sequentially for the transmissions that have been completed. Thereafter, when the assessor operates the “acknowledgement” button 252, an incoming confirmation command signal corresponding to this is generated by the transmission processing program 116 and output to the server 5, and an incoming confirmation signal corresponding to this is received from the server 5. As a result of the input, “complete” is displayed in the reception status display area 255e for those for which reception has been completed, and “not yet” is displayed for those that have not been completed. Note that “complete” and “not yet” may be automatically displayed without operating the “incoming call confirmation” button 252. The items that are displayed as “complete” and confirmed to be received by the server 5 can be collectively deleted by operating the “delete incoming call” button 253. The “return” button 254 is a button that enables returning to the screen (for example, FIG. 12) that was displayed before this screen. Returning to FIG. 5, by operating the “simultaneous display” button 208, all the combined data stored and held in the database 5 b of the server 5 so far is again transmitted to the portable terminal 2 side via the Internet. Can be read and listed.
[0085]
As a result, the assessment process by the person in charge of the assessment is completed, and the combined data relating to all the excavators 1 that have been assessed are sent to the server 5 (for example, an email attachment method is used, and the email address setting at that time is This is possible in the setting screen described above), and is stored and held in a state where it can be browsed in the database 5b (see FIG. 1). In addition, it may be possible to browse completely freely via the Internet, or only within the contractors of the used construction machinery business, only those who have joined the network hosted, only those who have paid a separate viewing fee, etc. You may make it possible to browse only within the restrictions.
[0086]
In the above, each button of each screen displayed on the display unit 2B of the portable terminal 2, the mouse unit 2C, the operation button units 2Da and 2Db, and the operation dial unit 2F constitute the operation means of the portable terminal described in each claim. In addition, the CPU 2c reads the character data relating to the assessment of the used vehicle that is input through the operation means; the procedure that reads the image data of the used vehicle photographed by the photographing means through the input means; the read character data and the read image. The first operation means for executing the procedure for associating data with a predetermined format and the procedure for transmitting the character data and the image data in the associated state to the server via the output means and the operation input via the operation means A procedure for reading character data relating to the assessment of used vehicles that have been made; a procedure for outputting a display signal for displaying a graphic image and a procedure for reading handwritten input data on the graphic display; The procedure for associating in the form of Also it constitutes the second arithmetic means for executing; To send to the server via the means.
[0087]
Further, the sheet input / digital camera photographing procedure shown in step 200 of FIG. 4 corresponds to the first procedure of reading character data relating to the assessment of a used vehicle that has been input through the operation means of the mobile terminal, and is shown in step 300. The handwriting input procedure corresponds to a seventh procedure of outputting a display signal for performing graphic display relating to at least a part of the used vehicle to the display means of the portable terminal and reading the handwritten input data on the graphic display. The image simultaneous reading procedure shown corresponds to the second procedure of reading image data of the used vehicle imaged by the imaging means, and the image correlating procedure shown in step 500 shows that the read character data and the read image data are Corresponding to the third procedure to associate in a predetermined format, the transmission procedure to the server shown in step 600 This corresponds to the fourth procedure of transmitting character data and image data to the server, and also corresponds to the eighth procedure of transmitting the read character data and the read handwritten input data to the server in a state of being associated with each other in a predetermined format. .
[0088]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the combined data relating to all the excavators 1 that have been assessed is sent to the server 5 and stored / held in the database 5b. Data of all used construction machines stored in the database 5b can be centrally managed via the terminal 5a.
[0089]
Also, customers of used construction machinery suppliers (for example, purchasers who want to buy used construction machinery, auction participants who want to bid off at the auction site) or other people who want accurate assessment information (rental) If the company wants to know the exact monetary value of its own machine, etc.), for example, by accessing the server 5 through the personal computer 4 in the office of a used construction machinery dealer, each check sheet of each excavator 1 Not only can you obtain character information on checkpoints, conditions, performance, etc. of the observation location and grasp the outline, but also the actual figure can be specified by the image information (photograph, still image or video) of the excavator 1 and handwritten input data. It can be obtained clearly and reviewed together with text information. Thereby, unlike the prior art in which only the character information of each vehicle is filed in paper form, the true state of each hydraulic excavator 1 can be easily and sufficiently recognized.
[0090]
In addition, for the assessor, unlike the conventional technique in which a paper-type check sheet had to be brought back to the office after filing, for example, after completing the assessment of all units, the assessment work was completed as described above. Since information can be quickly transmitted to the server 5 later at the office or assessment place, information transmission can be speeded up and work efficiency can be improved.
[0091]
In the embodiment of the present invention described above, each of the character data, handwritten input data, and image data described above is input to the mobile terminal 2 and transmitted and stored in the server 5 in association with each other. Only character data and handwritten input data may be input and related, or only character data and image data may be input and related. Further, the timing of association is not limited to that described above, and it is sufficient that the association is performed in some form at least during transmission to the server 5. As an example, an appropriate operation for shifting to the image reading procedure in step 400 of FIG. 4 as described above (for example, the operation button unit 2Da at the lower left of the display unit 2B is operated to return to the initial screen of FIG. 5). When the “image input” button 204 is operated, or when a screen transition button appropriately provided in the handwriting input screen shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is operated, the image is read all at once and further to the association in the next step 500 It may be automatically performed (however, in this case, it is necessary to set in advance which character data or handwritten input data is to be associated with the image data. It is conceivable that a predetermined identifier representing the machine to be used is written and attached to the image data by manual operation of the assessor. For example, the input start time and input end time of handwritten input data may be automatically added for each data, and image data captured within the time range may be automatically associated. Is also possible). In these cases as well, the true state of each hydraulic excavator 1 can be easily and sufficiently recognized at least as compared with the prior art in which only the character information of each vehicle is filed in paper form.
