The caption display format can be selected from no caption display, only ID display, only caption, and both ID / caption display, and the selected display format is recorded in the display condition database 26. Further, the density adjustment button 92 on the information management screen 30 can be used to switch the display density of the background drawing and the color / monochrome display.
[0063]
As described above, according to the information management apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, information to be managed can be registered as an object by specifying a position on the drawing, and the contents can be edited or browsed. As the object, various types of objects corresponding to text information, audio information, image information, and the like can be used. Therefore, according to the information management apparatus 10, various types of information related to the position can be managed on the drawing in an integrated manner, and efficient information management can be realized.
[0064]
For example, when the information management apparatus 10 is used for construction management at a construction site, various information collected at each position on the construction site can be collectively managed on the site drawing, and in the process of construction management Information management can be made more efficient. If the information management device 10 is configured by a portable terminal such as a notebook personal computer or a PDA, each person in charge can directly input information to the information management device 10 on the spot while conducting an inspection in the field. . For this reason, it is possible to eliminate the work of returning the contents of the memo etc. on the site to the office and inputting them again into the computer.
[0065]
Further, by arranging the background drawing database 22 and the object database 26 on the network so that they can be accessed from a plurality of information management apparatuses 10, it is possible to share information on the drawings among the persons in charge. .
For example, as shown in FIG. 33, a database server 102 connected to the LAN 100 is provided so that data can be transmitted and received between each information management apparatus 10 configured by a portable terminal such as a PDA and the database server 102. . Then, a program for data browsing and data management is installed in each computer terminal 104 connected to the LAN 100 so that data uploaded and registered from the information management apparatus 10 to the database server 102 can be browsed and managed. To do. In addition, by downloading data from the database server 102 to the information management apparatus 10, it is possible to check data input in other information management apparatuses 10 in each information management apparatus 10.
[0066]
In addition, the display / non-display condition of the object can be specified by the owner, date, object type, and the like. Even when a large amount of information is registered, unnecessary information can be hidden and only necessary information can be displayed, so that more efficient information management can be performed.
[0067]
Furthermore, since the information management apparatus 10 can register an object related to safety patrol, the information management apparatus 10 can be used for safety patrol. Hereinafter, as a specific example of use of the information management apparatus 10, an embodiment in the case of performing data management of safety patrol at a construction site using the information management apparatus 10 will be described.
[0068]
As described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention, in the conventional safety patrol, it is necessary to transfer from the field book to create the safety management document, which is inefficient, and the contents of instructions for the unsafe event Is sensitive to patrol personnel's experience and knowledge, and the patrol personnel must remember the previous patrol results to check whether the unsafe events discovered in the previous safety patrol have been corrected. There were problems such as being heavy. On the other hand, in the safety patrol implemented in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned conventional problems related to the safety patrol can be alleviated by performing the safety patrol using the information management apparatus 10.
[0069]
FIG. 34 is a flowchart of safety patrol using the information management apparatus 10 in the present embodiment. First, before starting the safety patrol, the data stored in the information management apparatus 10 is once cleared, and then the data of the safety patrol object whose unsafe event is uncorrected by the previous day's safety patrol is retrieved from the database server 102. Download (S100). Based on this data, an icon of a safety patrol object indicating an uncorrected unsafe event is displayed at a corresponding position in the management drawing 32 of the information management apparatus 10.
[0070]
The safety patrolman carries the information management terminal 10 and travels around the coverage area to check whether there is an unsafe event (S102). When an unsafe event is found, a corresponding position on the management drawing 32 of the information management apparatus 10 is selected to create a safety patrol object (S104), and the unsafe cause ID and the like are shown in FIG. 28 according to the contents of the unsafe event. (S106). Based on the improvement instruction displayed on the screen in response to the input of the unsafe cause ID, the field worker is instructed. If the unsafe event is corrected on the spot, the “correction” on the safety patrol input screen is displayed. An input to the effect that correction has been made is made in the column (S108). In addition, as described above, uncorrected events detected in the safety patrol up to the previous day are displayed as icons on the control drawing 32 as safety patrol objects. It is also checked whether or not the event has been corrected. If the event has been corrected, corrected input is performed for the safety patrol object (S108). The processes of S102 to S108 as described above are repeated until the safety patrol is completed (S110). When the safety patrol is completed, the user returns to the office and uploads the input data to the database server 102 (S112).
[0071]
The database server 102 collects data uploaded from each information management terminal 10 and performs processing such as integrating data indicating the same unsafe part due to overlap of safety patrol ranges and the like. The safety patrol member accesses the database server 102 from the computer terminal 104, takes in the data about the unsafe event he was in charge of into the computer terminal 104, adds necessary comments as appropriate, and then performs safety management documents (patrol results). (Report) is created (S114).
[0072]
Thus, in this embodiment, when an unsafe event is found in the safety patrol, the content of the unsafe event can be input simply by inputting the corresponding unsafe cause ID, so the input burden on the patrol staff is reduced. . At that time, since an improvement instruction corresponding to the input unsafe cause ID is displayed on the screen, the patrol worker can give an instruction according to the display. Thereby, the content of the improvement instruction does not depend on the experience and knowledge of the patrol staff, and the instruction content can be homogenized. In addition, since data related to unsafe events input to the information management apparatus 10 can be uploaded to the server computer 102 and imported to the computer terminal 104 to create a safety management document, there is no need to transfer data as before. It is possible to efficiently create safety management documents. In addition, the icon of the safety patrol object is displayed at the corresponding position on the screen for uncorrected unsafe events discovered by the safety patrol up to the previous day. You can check whether the problem has been corrected. That is, the patrol member need not remember uncorrected unsafe events until the previous time, and the burden is reduced.
