Description

The present invention relates to an information linkage system. In particular, the present invention relates to an information linkage system that links information displayed in each display area in a plurality of display areas (windows) displayed on a display device.

For the maintenance and management of structures related to highways and railways, a wide variety of management objects such as bridges, tunnels, tracks, guardrails, signs, and slopes must be handled. However, each management target has subdivided management units. For example, if the object of management is a bridge, there is a management unit for each structural element (member) that makes up the bridge, such as spans and floor slabs. In addition, management units higher than bridges include the route on which the bridge exists and the office that manages the route. A unit that captures this management target is referred to as a "level" in this specification.

For example, roads, bridges, guardrails, signs, and other road ancillaries that line a route over a wide area can be collectively managed from the viewpoint of repair budgets. Management by disassembled drawings for each component of the structure, or management of individual deformations related to specific components of the structure (for example, locations that are in a different state than normal, such as damaged areas) There is a need.

In this way, management targets at various levels that are related to each other have conventionally been managed by storing them in separate databases for each use and purpose if they have different uses and purposes. , reference from one to the other was rarely done. For example, when formulating a repair budget for a structure, it is necessary to understand the status of various management targets and allocate the optimal budget. It was not possible to immediately confirm specific deformations because information on individual deformations was linked.

In addition, on-site maintenance work requires a quick grasp of multiple related situations and an accurate judgment based on a comprehensive perspective, but it takes a lot of time to obtain the necessary information. was a big problem to do.

Therefore, there is a need for a system that facilitates the management of managed objects by linking and displaying information related to the various managed objects on one or more display devices (monitors). ing.

As a conventional system that can display multiple targets on a single display device, for example, a monitoring target is imaged by an imaging device such as a camera, and the image captured by each imaging device is divided into multiple areas on the display device. There is a method of displaying in each area (Patent Documents 1 to 3).

JP-A-2000-244896 JP 2015-060021 A JP-A-8-212044

In the case of the inventions of Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is possible to simultaneously display the images captured by the respective imaging devices on a single display device, but they cannot be displayed in conjunction with each other. Further, the invention of Patent Document 3 is a method for synchronizing screens between terminals, in which a screen displayed on a certain terminal and a screen displayed on another terminal are synchronized in the same state. Therefore, although they are linked in terms of "making them the same", it is not possible to display related information although they are not the same.

In the case of structural maintenance management, a system that facilitates the management of management targets by linking and displaying information on various management targets on a single display device (monitor) for various levels of management targets. However, even if the invention of Patent Document 3 is used, it cannot be realized.

That is, for example, when three display areas (windows) are displayed on one display device, window 1 displays a route map of a road, window 2 displays a structural diagram of a bridge, and window 3 displays deformation of the bridge. Suppose you are displaying information about When a specific bridge on the road map is selected in window 1, window 2 switches to the structural drawing of the selected bridge, and window 3 switches to information on deformation of the selected bridge. is required. However, in the case of the invention of Patent Document 3, such processing cannot be executed.

Furthermore, in the case of maintenance and management of structures, there are the site where the structure exists, the office that organizes information and makes decisions, and in some cases the head office and branch offices that oversee operations, and information is shared among these bases. is also required. For example, in the event of a disaster or accident, the person in charge at the site will carry a tablet computer, the office will use a personal computer, and the head office and branch offices will use devices with different display sizes and resolutions, such as large monitors. You can share information and work at the same time. In this case, it is preferable to share what data is being viewed and how, but of course, since devices with different sizes and resolutions are used, simply synchronizing all display contents will not work. Can not.

Then, this inventor made this invention in view of the said subject.

A first invention is an information linkage system for linking information between display areas displayed on a display device of a user-side system operated by a user. and data having a hierarchical structure of at least the level of objects to be displayed in the display area when a predetermined operation is performed in the display area displayed on the display device of the user-side system. and a delivery processing unit that receives messages containing In addition, in the terminal-side display processing unit, a level corresponding to the hierarchical structure of objects displayed in a display area controlled by the terminal-side display processing unit and processing for received messages are set. When the message is received from the user-side system, the processing unit refers to the cooperation information storage unit, identifies another display area to be a cooperation destination, and sends the message to the terminal-side display processing unit corresponding to the identified display area. sending the message, causing the terminal-side display processing unit to replace the message received from the delivery processing unit with the level of its own hierarchical structure, and execute processing for the message at the level of the hierarchical structure; This is an information linkage system in which the display is displayed in the display area controlled by the side display processing unit .

By configuring as in the present invention, it is possible to display information corresponding to one's own level in the display area displayed on the display device. In other words, in conventional information linking systems, it was possible to display the same information on multiple display devices using a synchronization system or the like, but it was not possible to display related information, although not identical. . However, as in the present invention, when a predetermined operation is performed in the display area, a message having a hierarchical structure is sent to the display area of another cooperation destination via the delivery processing unit, and the display that received the message is displayed. A region can perform its actions based on a set level. Therefore, for example, there are display areas 1 to 3, the display area 1 displays the route map of the road, the display area 2 displays the structural diagram of the bridge, and the window 3 displays information about the deformation of the bridge. When a specific bridge on the road route map is selected in display area 1, a message with a hierarchical structure indicating that bridge is sent from display area 1 via the delivery processing unit to become the link destination. It is also sent to other display areas. Then, when the link destination is the display areas 2 and 3, the display area 2 is switched to the structural drawing of the selected bridge, and the window 3 displays information on the deformation of the selected bridge. becomes possible.

In this way, by using the information linkage system of the present invention, it is possible to link information in accordance with the level of the hierarchical structure of the objects to be managed, rather than performing simple synchronization processing.

A second invention is an information linking system for linking information between display areas displayed on a display device of a user-side system operated by a user, wherein the information linking system corresponds display areas for linking information. When a predetermined operation is performed on the linkage information storage unit managed by attaching and managing the display area displayed on the display device of the user-side system , at least a part of the hierarchical structure of the level of the object to be displayed in the display area is displayed . , a hierarchical structure information storage unit that stores object identification information, and a hierarchically structured message based on the object identification information in the message received by the distribution processing unit. a message processing unit that generates and passes it to the delivery processing unit, the object is a structure to be managed, and the user-side system includes terminal-side display processing that controls the display of the display area. a level according to the hierarchical structure of objects displayed in a display area controlled by the terminal-side display processing unit and processing for received messages are set in the terminal-side display processing unit; If the received message contains data that does not include all of the hierarchical structure of the object level, the distribution processing unit passes the message to the message processing unit to include all of the hierarchical structure of the object level. receive the hierarchically structured message from the message processing unit, refer to the linkage information storage unit, and specify another display area to be linked. , the message is sent to the terminal-side display processing unit corresponding to the specified display area, and the terminal-side display processing unit replaces the message received from the delivery processing unit with the level of its own hierarchical structure, An information linkage system in which a level executes processing for the message and displays it in a display area controlled by a terminal-side display processing unit .

By configuring as in the present invention, it is possible to obtain the same technical effects as in the first invention. In other words, by using the information linkage system of the present invention, it is possible to link information in accordance with the level of the hierarchical structure of the objects to be managed, rather than performing simple synchronization processing.

Also, unlike the first invention, the messages sent from the display area are not hierarchically structured, and the hierarchical structuring of the messages is generated separately. Therefore, the independence of the program that controls the display area can be enhanced.

By using the information linkage system of the present invention, a single display device (monitor) can display information related to various management targets in a linked manner, thereby facilitating management of the management targets.

In addition, even if each site uses computers having display devices of different sizes and resolutions, it is possible to share the same information.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall concept of the information linkage system 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the concept of the system configuration in more detail. The information linkage system 1 includes a server-side system 2 and a user-side system 3 used by each user. Here, the term “user” refers to the person who uses the system, and the person in charge of the site, the person in charge of the office who organizes information and makes decisions, and the person in charge of the head office or branch office who manages the operation of the computer. is a person. Moreover, there may be more than one person in charge, and more than one person may operate the computer at the same time. For example, field personnel use a tablet computer (user terminal) as the user-side system 3, office personnel use a personal computer (user terminal) as the user-side system 3, and head office and branch offices use a touch panel type computer. A computer (user terminal) equipped with a large monitor is used as the user side system 3 . The basic configuration of each user side system 3 in the present invention is the same. The user terminal is a computer operated by the user, and the user side system 3 is a computer system having functions executed by the user terminal, which will be described later.

The user-side system 3 and server-side system 2 are implemented by computers. FIG. 3 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the computer. The computer includes an arithmetic unit 70 such as a CPU for executing arithmetic processing of a program, a storage device 71 such as a RAM or hard disk for storing information, a display device 72 such as a display, an input device 73 for inputting information, It has a communication device 74 for communicating the processing result of the arithmetic device 70 and the information stored in the storage device 71 . Note that if the computer has a touch panel display, the input device 73 and the display device 72 may be integrated. Touch panel displays are often used in the case of computers, such as portable communication terminals such as tablet computers used by on-site personnel, and computers with large displays installed in headquarters and branch offices. It is not limited to them.

The touch panel display is a device that integrates the functions of the display device 72 and the input device 73 in that input can be performed directly on the display using a predetermined input device (touch panel pen, etc.) or a finger. .

The server-side system 2 may be realized by one computer, but its functions may be realized by a plurality of computers. The computer in this case may be, for example, a cloud server.

Furthermore, each means in the information linkage system 1 of the present invention may only be logically distinguished in its function, and may physically or practically form the same area.

The server-side system 2 includes a cooperation processing section 21 , a terminal display control processing section 22 and an application processing section 23 .

The cooperation processing unit 21 mediates communication between display areas displayed by the user-side system 3 . The cooperation processing unit 21 includes a cooperation management unit 211 , a cooperation information storage unit 212 and a distribution processing unit 213 .

When receiving a request for registration of itself from the user-side system 3, the cooperation management unit 211 manages the user-side system 3 as a cooperation target.

Based on the information received by the cooperation management unit 211, the cooperation information storage unit 212 stores information such as the user-side system 3 to be cooperated with. Specifically, it stores user identification information (user ID), pane type identification information, and pane viewer identification information for identifying a user who is activated in the user-side system 3, which will be described later, in association with each other. Also, the user identification information and the pane type identification information that are cooperation destinations are stored in association with each other as a group.

When receiving a message to be linked from the user-side system 3, the delivery processing unit 213 specifies a linking destination based on the information stored in the linking storage unit, and delivers the message to the specified linking destination. This distribution is preferably, but not limited to, broadcast distribution in which messages are distributed at the same time.

The terminal display control processing unit 22 stores information defining the combination and arrangement of the display areas displayed on the display device 72 of the user-side system 3, and controls the combination and arrangement of the display areas in the user-side system 3. do. Preferably, the users in the organization are classified in advance into groups based on the department to which they belong, their duties, and the size and resolution of the display device 72 of the user terminal (the computer that implements the user-side system 3). For each group, the system administrator of the information linkage system 1 determines the configuration of the terminal-side display processing unit 31, which will be described later, provided in the user-side system 3, that is, the combination of the types of display areas displayed by the terminal-side display processing unit 31. and the arrangement position of coordinate information (referred to as "layout information") on the display device 72 are defined and set. In this case, one group may use different combinations of display area types and layout positions depending on the usage situation, so multiple layout information may be defined and set. . As the layout information, it is preferable to use a so-called style sheet (CSS) or the like.

The application processing unit 23 stores objects such as structures to be managed in correspondence with the hierarchical structure for each level, and returns information received from the user-side system 3 to the user-side system 3 . For example, regarding the deformation, "Y line (line ID 1)" of "X office (office ID 1)" "α bridge (bridge ID 1)" "β span (span ID 1)" Various types of information such as ``deformation 1 (deformation ID 1)'' of slab (floor slab ID 1) are stored in association with levels so as to correspond to message information to be described later. When an inquiry for information about a specific structure is received from the user-side system 3, the level corresponding to the level set in the terminal-side display processing unit 31 of the user-side system 3, which will be described later, at which the inquiry was made The information is extracted and returned to the user side system 3. Note that the application processing unit 23 may be implemented as a server of the server-side system 2, or may be implemented as a different system. Alternatively, it may be a web server or the like on the Internet that is separate from the information linkage system of the present invention.

An object is a data element in the information linkage system 1 or each hierarchical structure. The data elements are, for example, elements to be managed using the information linkage system 1 of the present invention, such as offices, routes such as highways, bridges, bridge piers, floor slabs, and deformations. Data elements that are objects are subject to processing such as display in each pane described later.

Every object has an identity assigned to it. This identification information may be identification information that is unique in the information linkage system 1, or may be identification information that is unique in its hierarchical structure.

The user-side system 3 includes a terminal-side display processing section 31 and a terminal-side communication processing section 32 .

The terminal-side display processing unit 31 controls information displayed on the display device 72 of the user-side system 3 . The terminal-side display processing unit 31 manages objects to be managed as display targets at a predetermined level. Therefore, it replaces the message delivered from the server-side system 2 with its own level, and controls the display of information according to its own level.

The terminal-side communication processing unit 32 controls communication between the user-side system 3 and the server-side system 2 . The terminal-side communication processing unit 32 stores information on the communication destination of the server-side system 2 with which the user-side system 3 communicates, such as IP address and port number.

In the present invention, the terminal-side display processing unit 31 is also called a pane viewer, and the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 is sometimes called a cooperation module. In the user-side system 3, a plurality of pane viewers are preferably displayed in a non-overlapping manner (as so-called tiled windows) on the display device 72 (see FIG. 2). A display area (window) whose display is controlled by the pane viewer, which is the terminal-side display processing unit 31, is called a pane. Therefore, the pane viewer, which is the terminal-side display processing unit 31, is a program that controls the display in the pane. The layout of panes displayed on the display device 72 of the user-side system 3 is performed according to the display control of the terminal display control processing unit 22 of the server-side system 2 .

In each user-side system 3, a plurality of terminal-side display processing units 31 (pane viewers) are executed, and levels in the hierarchical structure of objects to be displayed in each pane are set. The pane viewer then displays one display object at one level. For example, based on hierarchically structured messages such as wide area level, office jurisdiction level, route level, structure level, member level, deformation level, etc., the level at which information is displayed in the pane is set. . Also, the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 (cooperation module) is executed in association with each terminal-side display processing unit 31 . For example, as shown in FIG. 2, since A pane to E pane are displayed on the display device 72 of the user terminal 1, the user side system 3 of the user terminal 1 performs terminal side display processing corresponding to the A pane to the E pane. The units 31 (pain viewer) are activated, and the corresponding terminal-side communication processing units 32 (cooperation modules) are activated. Furthermore, since the A pane and the B pane are displayed on the display device 72 of the user terminal 2, the user side system 3 of the user terminal 2 has a terminal side display processing unit 31 (pane viewer) corresponding to the A pane and the B pane. are activated, and the respective terminal-side communication processing units 32 (cooperation modules) corresponding to them are activated.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen displaying each pane displayed when a touch panel type large display such as a head office or a branch office is used as the display device 72 . In FIG. 4, 22 panes are provided on a touch panel type large display. This screen is displayed over the entire large display, and is displayed as a tiled window so that the panes do not overlap each other.

Among the terminal-side display processing units 31 (pane viewers), the terminal-side display processing units 31 (pane viewers) having the function of linking information with other terminal-side display processing units 31 (pane viewers) are activated. At this time, the user-side system 3 is configured by loading the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 (collaboration module) on the user terminal and making it executable. An operation performed by the terminal-side display processing unit 31 (pane viewer) is generated as a hierarchically structured message corresponding to the object, and is sent to the server-side system 2 via the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 (collaboration module). sent to On the other hand, when a message is delivered from the server-side system 2, the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 (linkage module) accepts it and passes the message to the terminal-side display processing unit 31 (pain viewer). The terminal-side display processing unit 31 (pain viewer) replaces the message with its own level and executes the corresponding processing.

Of the terminal-side display processing units 31 (pain viewers), terminal-side display processing units 31 (pain viewers) that do not coordinate information with other terminal-side display processing units 31 (pain viewers) do not perform terminal-side communication. The processing unit 32 (cooperation module) is not loaded on the user terminal. For example, in the case of FIG. 4, the nine pane viewers in the upper row, the pane viewer displaying "driving moving image", and the pane viewer displaying "image/drawing reference history" correspond to these. Therefore, in the case of FIG. 4, 22 terminal-side display processing units 31 (pain viewers) and 11 terminal-side communication processing units 32 (cooperation modules) are activated in the user terminal equipped with this display device 72 .

Next, an example of the processing process of the information cooperation system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. In the information linkage system 1 of the present invention, the process is realized by sequentially executing the initiate process (S100), the notify process (S110), the broadcast process (S120), and the response process (S130). Each process will be described below. Note that the terminal-side display processing unit 31 will be described below using the terms pane viewer, and the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 will be described using the terms cooperation module. Also, a case will be described in which the function of the link processing unit 21 in the server-side system 2 is implemented by a link server, and the function of the application processing unit 23 is implemented by a web application.

First, the initiate process (S100) will be described. The initiation process is a process of linking panes in order to link information related to objects displayed in the panes of the display device 72 of the user-side system 3 .

In the information linkage system 1 of the present invention, in the terminal display control processing unit 22, the user in the organization is preliminarily set the department to which the user belongs, the job title, and the display device 72 of the user terminal (computer that realizes the user-side system 3) to be used. Categorized into groups based on size and resolution. A system administrator of the information linkage system 1 sets layout information of a plurality of pane viewers (information defining combinations and layouts of panes displayed by the pane viewers) for each group using CSS or the like.

When an operation to activate the user-side system 3 is performed on a certain user terminal, the layout of the corresponding pane viewer from the server-side system 2 based on user identification information (user ID, etc.) and information identifying the user terminal. Acquire CSS information, which is information. That is, the user-side system 3 sends user identification information and information for identifying the user terminal to the server-side system 2, and the terminal-side display processing unit 31 of the server-side system 2 receives the information from the user-side system 3. , the user's department, job title, size and resolution of the display device 72 of the user terminal are specified, information of the corresponding pane viewer is specified, and sent to the user side system 3 . When the user-side system 3 receives the information of the pane viewer by CSS from the server-side system 2, each pane viewer of the user-side system 3 is activated and arranges panes based on the information. If there are multiple pieces of layout information that can be selected by the user, the layout information to be used by the user is selected, the CSS to be used is switched based on it, the information of the corresponding pane viewer is acquired, and these are displayed. When received from the server-side system 2, each pane viewer of the user-side system 3 is activated and arranges panes based on the information.

Then, the pane viewer loads the link module corresponding to itself on the user terminal and puts it into an executable state. Normally, one user-side system 3 has a plurality of pane viewers. Therefore, when the user-side system 3 is started, each of the plurality of pane viewers is started, and each pane viewer loads its own corresponding cooperation module. becomes.

In order to register itself with the cooperation server, the pane viewer passes the registration request to the corresponding cooperation module. The cooperation module sends the user identification information of the user operating the user-side system 3 and the pane type identification information to the predetermined server-side system 2 together with the registration request. The pane type identification information is information that indicates the type of information of the object displayed in the pane by the pane viewer. , a pane that displays information on a list of deformations (a list of damaged locations), a pane that displays a drawing of a structure, etc., and is set in advance for each pane viewer. The pane type identification information can be appropriately set depending on what kind of information is to be set in the display area.

Upon receiving the registration request, the user identification information, and the pane type identification information from the cooperation module of the user side system 3, the cooperation management unit 211 in the cooperation server of the server side system 2 generates unique identification information for identifying the pane viewer. assign. This identification information is used as pane viewer identification information.

The cooperation management unit 211 in the cooperation server notifies the cooperation module that made the registration request of the assigned pane viewer identification information.

Further, the cooperation management unit 211 in the cooperation server of the server-side system 2 associates the user identification information received from the user-side system 3 with the pane type identification information and the pane viewer identification information and stores them in the cooperation information storage unit 212 .

Further, the information linking system 1 executes processing for linking panes. This cooperative processing is roughly divided into three types. The first linking process is for linking panes of different users and of the same pane type (that is, having the same pane type identification information). For example, there is a case where a pane P1 of a certain user system 3 and a pane P2 of another user system 3 are linked. The second linkage processing is a case where all panes of the user-side system 3 operated by a certain user and all panes of the user-side system 3 operated by another user are linked. The third linking process is for linking panes operating under the same user.

For example, the first cooperative processing is performed by a drawing pane of the user-side system 3 realized by a user terminal, which is a tablet computer operated by the person in charge of the field, and a user terminal, which is a personal computer operated by the person in charge of the office. It is used, for example, when sharing drawing information with the drawing pane of the user-side system 3 that is implemented.

In this case, the person in charge of the field (for example, if the user identification information is "67890") to be linked with, in the user-side system 3, the user identification information (for example, "12345") of the person in charge of the office to be the cooperation destination and pain type identification information (for example, "inspection information") are input or selected by the pain viewer of the system 3 on the user side. Note that this input and selection may automatically specify the pane type identification information by specifying the pane using a pull-down menu, pane selection, or the like, and may also automatically acquire the user identification information.

The cooperation module sends the cooperation destination user identification information “12345”, pane type identification information “inspection information”, own user identification information “67890”, and a cooperation request to the server-side system 2 .

The cooperation management unit 211 in the cooperation server of the server-side system 2 receives the cooperation request from the user-side system 3, the user identification information "12345" of the cooperation destination of the user-side system 3, the pane type identification information "inspection information", and its own user When the identification information "67890" is received, based on the user identification information "12345" received as the cooperation destination, a cooperation request is made to the user side system 3 of the cooperation destination, and a notification is sent as to whether the cooperation is accepted. .

When the user-side system 3 of the linking destination receives this notification and selects acceptance, the user-side system 3 notifies the server-side system 2 that the linking process has been accepted, and accepts it. The cooperation management unit 211 of the cooperation server in the server-side system 2 sets the pane type identification information "inspection information" of the user identification information "67890" and the pane type identification information "inspection information" of the user identification information "12345" to be the cooperation destination. , and are stored in the cooperation information storage unit 212 as a group to be linked. This makes it possible to manage the pane displaying the inspection information of the user identification information "67890" and the pane displaying the inspection information of the user identification information "12345" in association with each other.

The second linking process in the linking server is used, for example, when a computer in the director's office confirms a screen displayed on a large display device installed in a disaster prevention office such as a head office or a branch office.

In this case, the person in charge of the director's office (for example, the user identification information is "67890") who wants to cooperate with the user-side system 3 has the user identification information (for example, "12345") of the disaster prevention countermeasures office to be the cooperation destination. ) is input or selected by the pane viewer of the user side system 3 . Note that the user identification information may be automatically obtained.

The cooperation module sends the cooperation destination user identification information “12345”, its own user identification information “67890”, and a cooperation request to the server-side system 2 .

When the cooperation management unit 211 in the cooperation server of the server-side system 2 receives the cooperation request from the user-side system 3, the user identification information "12345" of the cooperation destination of the user-side system 3, and its own user identification information "67890", , based on the user identification information "12345" accepted as the cooperation destination, a cooperation request is made to the user-side system 3 of the cooperation destination, and a notification is sent as to whether or not the cooperation is accepted.

When the user-side system 3 of the linking destination receives this notification and selects acceptance, the user-side system 3 notifies the server-side system 2 that the linking process has been accepted, and accepts it. The cooperation management unit 211 of the cooperation server in the server-side system 2 obtains all pane type identification information corresponding to the user identification information "67890" and all pane type identification information corresponding to the user identification information "12345" to be the cooperation destination. , and are stored in the cooperation information storage unit 212 as a group to be linked. As a result, all panes of user identification information "67890" and all panes of user identification information "12345" can be associated and managed.

The third linking process is for linking panes used by the user. In this case, when the user inputs or selects his/her own user identification information in the user-side system 3 , the cooperation module sends its own user identification information and a cooperation request to the server-side system 2 . When the cooperation management unit 211 in the cooperation server of the server-side system 2 receives the cooperation request from the user-side system 3 and its user identification information, all the pane type identification information corresponding to the user identification information is transferred to the cooperation group. , and stored in the cooperation information storage unit 212 . This makes it possible to associate and manage all panes of the user.

Note that the third linkage process is a linkage process between panes displayed in the user-side system 3 used by a certain user. is preferably done in parallel with In other words, when a certain user uses the user-side system 3, if information is linked between the panes displayed there, the user's convenience is enhanced. Therefore, it is preferable to associate the panes used by the user as a linked group.

FIG. 2 shows an example of displaying panes on each of user terminals 1 and 2 when information is linked. An example of 212 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, user identification information is associated with pane type identification information indicating the type of pane displayed on the user side system 3 of the user terminal used by the user, and pane viewer identification information identifying the pane viewer. Furthermore, it shows that the pane viewer associated as a group to be linked is managed by the linking group identification information.

FIG. 6A shows the case of the above-described first cooperation processing, and shows an example of the cooperation information storage unit 212 in a state in which only the A panes of the user terminals 1 and 2 in FIG. 2 are linked. . FIG. 6B shows the case of the above-described second cooperation processing, and shows an example of the cooperation information storage unit 212 in a state in which all the panes of user terminal 1 and user terminal 2 in FIG. 2 are associated. FIG. 6C shows the case of the above-described third cooperation processing, and is an example of the cooperation information storage unit 212 in a state in which only the user terminal 1 and only the user terminal 2 are associated with panes. In FIG. 6, each pane is managed by using the cooperation group identification information in order to associate each pane as a group to be cooperated.

By executing the processing described above, the initiation processing can be executed.

Next, notify processing (S110) that is performed when some operation is performed on the pane displayed on the display device 72 of the user terminal, and the linking server in the server-side system 2 becomes another pane viewer to be linked. Broadcast processing (S120) for distributing the message and response processing (S130) performed by the pane viewer receiving the distributed message will be described.

The user side system 3 running on a certain user terminal selects an object to be displayed in a pane displayed on the display device 72 by the user by searching or selecting an object. In this case, the pane viewer detects that an operation to switch objects to be displayed has been performed, and passes a message to the linkage module.

The message passed here is a message hierarchically structured at the level of the object to be displayed in the pane, and may include multiple hierarchical structures of the level of the object to be displayed. FIG. 7 shows an example of the message. In FIG. 7, as a hierarchically structured message of an object to be displayed, an infrastructure type ID indicating the type of infrastructure such as a structure such as a bridge or a tunnel, and an office that manages the infrastructure. office ID indicating the route, route ID indicating the route managed by the office, bridge ID indicating the bridge on the route, span ID indicating the span of the bridge, floor slab ID in the span, floor slab in the Identification information of each object such as a deformation ID indicating a deformation (damaged portion, etc.) is hierarchically structured, thereby showing the hierarchical structure of the levels of the objects displayed in the pane. The messages on the first and second lines in Fig. 7 specify different deformations in the same span of the same bridge, and the message on the third line specifies a different bridge. there is Note that the void in the third line is information for adjusting the depth of the level down to the lower level. FIG. 8 schematically illustrates the hierarchical structure of the messages in FIG. Note that the method of expressing the hierarchical structure of messages is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and any method that can express the hierarchical structure may be used.

For example, in the inspection information pane of the user-side system 3 operated by the user himself/herself, a search request is made to display all "○○ deformations of level B or higher" in "Office X/Route Y". The operation in this case will be explained.

The pane viewer of the inspection information pane in which the above operation has been performed passes the above search request to the web application (application processing unit 23 ) that stores the information on the deformation in the server-side system 2 . The web application performs a search for information about the deformation based on the search request. Then, the search result is acquired by the pane viewer of the inspection information pane. The pane viewer of the inspection information pane displays the search results obtained from the web application in the inspection information pane. Note that the search results themselves do not have to be listed. The search results obtained here include, for example, information on objects corresponding to the search request and information on their hierarchical structure. For example, as information about objects, information about "transformation 1", "transformation 2", and "transformation 3". "Deformation 1 (deformation ID1)" and "deformation 2 (deformation ID 2)", "Y line (line ID 1)" of "X office (office ID 1)", "β bridge (bridge ID 2)", "γth pier (pier ID 1)" "deformation 3 (deformation ID 3)”.

The pane viewer of the inspection information pane that has acquired the search result displays information on "deformation 1", "deformation 2", and "deformation 3" obtained from the web application in the pane. If there are multiple objects as search results, the object to be displayed may be selected and only the information of the selected object may be displayed in a pane.

In addition, the pane viewer of the inspection information pane displays "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1/floor slab ID 1/deformation ID 1, infrastructure type ID 1/office A message hierarchically structured with ID1/route ID1/bridge ID1/span ID1/floor slab ID1/deformation ID2, infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID2/pier ID1/void/deformation ID3. Passed to the cooperation module as. The linking module passes the message and the pane viewer identification information of the pane viewer to which the pane corresponds to the linking server of the server-side system 2 .

The notify process is performed by the process described above.

After the notify processing is completed, the link server of the server-side system 2 executes broadcast processing based on the message received from the user-side system 3 .

First, in the linking server of the server-side system 2, based on the pane viewer identification information corresponding to the message received by the delivery processing unit 213 of the linking server, the user identification information and the pane type identification information corresponding to the pane viewer identification information are combined. is specified based on the cooperation information storage unit 212 . Then, using the identified user identification information and pain type identification information, the user identification information and the pain type identification information grouped (associated) are identified. Then, since the pane viewer identification information including the identified user identification information and the pane type identification information can be identified based on the cooperation information storage unit 212, the pane viewer having that pane viewer identification information is identified as the pane viewer to be the cooperation destination. Then, the received message is broadcasted to the identified pane viewer that is to be linked. For example, when the distribution processing unit 213 of the cooperation server receives a message from the pane viewer A and specifies the pane viewers B to D as the cooperation destination, the received message is distributed to the pane viewers B to D.

In the linking server of the server-side system 2, when the distribution processing unit 213 receives the above message, etc., the linking information storage unit 212 is referred to based on the pane viewer identification information of the pane viewer A, and the pane viewer identification information of the pane viewer A is retrieved. Identify corresponding user identification information and pane type identification information. Then, other user identification information and pane type identification information that are grouped and associated as cooperation destinations with the identified user identification information and pane type identification information are identified. Then, based on the cooperation information storage unit 212, the pane viewer identification information corresponding to the user identification information and the pane type identification information identified here is identified as the pane viewer to which the message is actually distributed. Then, the above message is broadcasted to the cooperation module of the pane viewer having the identified pane viewer identification information. For example, when specifying a map pane viewer, a route map pane viewer, a bridge specification pane viewer, a drawing pane viewer, and a deformation detail pane viewer, the distribution processing unit 213 "Infrastructure type ID1/Office ID1/Route ID1/Bridge ID1/Span ID1/Deformation ID1, Infrastructure type ID1/Office ID1/Route ID1/Bridge ID1/Span ID1/Deformation ID2, Infrastructure type ID1 /office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID2/pier ID1/void/deformation ID3" as a message.

Broadcast processing can be executed by executing the processing described above.

Response processing, in which corresponding processing is performed in each pane viewer based on the distributed message after the broadcast processing ends, will be described.

The linking module corresponding to each pane viewer that receives the broadcast-delivered message from the delivery processing unit 213 of the linking server passes it to the pane viewer, and the pane viewer replaces the received message with the level of its own hierarchical structure. , at that level of the hierarchy, perform the processing predetermined by the pane viewer.

For example, if the level of objects to be displayed in the Map Pane Viewer, which receives a message delivered from the linkage server via a linkage module, is the level of railways and bridges, the received message is displayed at the level of the hierarchical structure of railways and bridges. replace with That is, it is replaced with "infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID1, infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID2". Then, the map pane viewer zooms or pans to a frame that can display bridges corresponding to bridge ID 1 (α bridge) and bridge ID 2 (β bridge) on the map displayed in the map pane. Execute the marking process, such as pinning.

If the level of the object to be displayed in the railway map pane viewer that receives the message delivered from the linkage server via the linkage module is the level of the railway and bridge, replace the received message in the same way as the map pane viewer above, Zoom and pan to the frame where each bridge corresponding to bridge ID1 (α bridge) and bridge ID2 (β bridge) on the route map displayed in the route map pane can be displayed, and put a pin on the α bridge and β bridge. Execute the marking process.

If the level of the object to be displayed in the bridge specification pane viewer is the bridge level, the received message is replaced with the level of the bridge in the same way as the map pane viewer, and bridge ID1 (α bridge) and bridge ID2 are replaced. Inquiry of the specification information of the bridge (β bridge) is made to the web application in the server-side system 2, and the specification information of each bridge with bridge ID1 (α bridge) and bridge ID2 (β bridge) is obtained. Display in original pane. If the Bridge Specifications pane is set to display only one bridge specification information, one bridge is identified based on a predetermined priority, and the information is displayed from the web application on the server-side system 2. Original information may be obtained. For example, if there are multiple bridges and it is specified that the top bridge is to be given priority, the bridge specification pane viewer replaces with "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route ID 1/bridge ID 1", The specification information of the bridge ID1 (α bridge) is acquired by inquiring the web application of the server-side system 2 and displayed in the bridge specification pane.

Furthermore, when the level of objects to be displayed in the drawing pane viewer is the level of members and deformation, "Infrastructure type ID 1/Office ID 1/Route ID 1/Bridge ID 1/Span ID 1/Floor slab ID 1/Deformation ID 1, infrastructure Type ID 1/Office ID 1/Route ID 1/Bridge ID 1/Span ID 1/Slab ID 1/Deformation ID 2, Infrastructure type ID 1/Office ID 1/Route ID 1/Bridge ID 2/Bridge ID 1/void/Deformation ID 3" remain unchanged. Without replacement, the drawing pane viewer acquires the drawing information of the members (bridge spans, bridge piers) with deformation ID 1 to deformation ID 3 based on the above message from the web application that stores the drawing. and display it in the drawing pane. As with the Bridge Specifications pane, if only one drawing is set to be displayed, one member is identified based on a predetermined priority, and the web application on the server-side system 2 identifies that member. The drawing information of the member may be obtained and displayed in the drawing pane. In this case, the drawing pane viewer replaces with "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1", and displays the drawing of the same member "span ID 1" in the drawing pane. , deformation ID1, and deformation ID2 are highlighted.

If the level of the object to be displayed in the deformation detail pane viewer is the deformation level, leave the message as it is, query the web application that stores the deformation, and obtain image information of deformation ID 1 to deformation ID 3, detailed information, etc. is acquired and displayed in the deformation details pane. In addition, if it is set to display only one deformation as in the drawing pane, one deformation is identified based on the predetermined priority, and the Web application in the server-side system 2 identifies the deformation. Image information and detailed information of the deformation may be acquired and displayed in the deformation details pane. In this case, the deformation detail pane viewer replaces with "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1/floor slab ID 1/deformation ID 1", and the deformation of deformation ID 1 from the web application The image information and detailed information of the deformation ID 1 are acquired, and the image information and detailed information of the deformation ID 1 are displayed in the deformation detail pane.

Response processing can be executed by the above processing.

In this way, from the pane viewer of the user-side system 3 where a certain operation has been performed, a hierarchical message corresponding to the level of the hierarchical structure of the object displayed by the pane viewer is sent to the server-side system 2 via the linkage module. is sent to the linking server, and the linking server specifies the pane viewer to be linked. Then, the linking server broadcasts the message to the linking module corresponding to the identified pane viewer. The linked pane viewer that receives the delivery via the link module replaces the message according to the level managed by itself, and executes the processing corresponding to the message based on the processing details set for each pane viewer. do.

This makes it possible to link panes displayed in the pane viewer.

Note that, as described above, operations on the pane may cause the display to be updated by an external input, in addition to a search request. For example, a message may be received from a field worker and displayed in the chat pane, or data from a sensor that periodically senses the state of a structure may be displayed in the pane. In this case, the pane viewer also sends the content to be displayed to the linking server via the linking module so that it can be displayed in the linked pane.

In this case, the message sent by the pane viewer includes the specific information of the external input destination such as "Input device=●●, Sender=●●, Message="●●", pane identification information, and information to be displayed. A message including contents is generated and sent. Note that the ● mentioned above contains characters, numbers, symbols, etc., as well as appropriate information such as character strings, number strings, and symbol strings.

In the above embodiment, the case where the terminal-side display processing unit 31, which is a pane viewer, sends a hierarchically structured message to the server-side system 2 via the terminal-side communication processing unit 32, which is a cooperation module, has been described. Instead of sending the entire structure, only part of the information in the hierarchical structure is sent in the notify process, and based on this, the cooperation processing unit 21 of the server-side system 2 generates messages in a hierarchical structure, and then broadcasts them. It can also be configured to run

That is, the pane viewer (terminal-side display processing unit 31) of the first embodiment manages the level of the hierarchical structure to be processed by the pane viewer. It is sent to the server-side system 2 via a module (terminal-side communication processing unit 32). However, in this case, if all panes manage the hierarchical structure, the dependency between program modules will increase and the independence of the program will decrease. Therefore, the message sent from the pane viewer may be configured to send a message containing the identification information of the object at the level of its own hierarchical structure, rather than a message containing all of the hierarchical structure.

For example, in Embodiment 1, a message including all levels of the hierarchical structure such as "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/line ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1/floor slab ID 1/deformation ID 1" was sent. However, if it can be configured to send "deformation ID 1", the dependency between program modules of the terminal side display processing unit 31, which is a pane viewer, can be reduced, the independence of the program can be improved, and it is advantageous for implementation. .

Therefore, in this embodiment, a case will be described in which it is not necessary to send a message including all levels of the hierarchical structure. FIG. 9 shows an example of the overall concept of the information collaboration system 1 in this embodiment. Also, FIG. 10 shows an example of the concept of generating hierarchically structured messages in this embodiment.

The server-side system 2 of the information linkage system 1 in this embodiment further has a message processing section 214 and a hierarchical structure information storage section 25 .

When the message processing unit 214 receives a message that does not include all of the hierarchical structure from the user-side system 3, the message processing unit 214 refers to the hierarchical structure information storage unit 25, which will be described later, and converts the message into a hierarchical structure.

The hierarchical structure information storage unit 25 stores identification information of objects to be processed by the information linkage system 1 of the present invention in a form that allows identification of the hierarchical structure.

FIG. 11 schematically shows an example of a conceptual diagram of the hierarchical structure information storage unit 25. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, the hierarchical structure is classified into 7 levels, where hierarchical level 1 is "infrastructure type ID", hierarchical level 2 is "office" that manages the infrastructure type ID, and hierarchical level 3 is "office". "Route" managed by the office, "Structure" on the route at level 4, "Details of structure 1" on the structure at level 5 (large management target for structures), and Structure at level 6 "Structure details 2" in detail 1 (structure details subdivided from hierarchy level 5), and "structure details 3" in structure details 2 (structure details at hierarchy level 6) at hierarchy level 7. (subdivided management object). Levels of the hierarchical structure can be arbitrarily set, and it is also possible to arbitrarily set how each hierarchy is identified by a group of management targets.

In the hierarchical structure information storage unit 25, the object identification information includes "infrastructure type ID" at hierarchical level 1, "office ID" at hierarchical level 2, "route ID" at hierarchical level 3, and so on. Hierarchical level 4 contains "bridge ID", "tunnel ID", "guardrail ID", etc. for identifying structures. If structure detail 1 of hierarchy level 6 is "span", "floor slab ID" and "steel frame ID" are displayed. In the case of "floor slab", a "deformation ID" or the like is assigned.

As in the case of the first embodiment described above, as a message including all hierarchical structures, "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1/floor slab ID 1/deformation ID 1, infrastructure type ID 1 /office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID1/span ID1/floor slab ID1/deformation ID2, infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID2/pier ID1/void/deformation ID3 will be used for explanation. It is assumed that the hierarchical structure information storage unit 25 stores object identification information according to the hierarchical structure.

As described above, there are two cases of uniqueness of object identification information in the hierarchical structure: uniqueness in the entire information linkage system 1 and uniqueness in the hierarchical structure.

First, in the former case, the pane viewer (terminal-side display processing unit 31) in the user-side system 3 sends a message including "deformation ID 1", "deformation ID 2", and "deformation ID 3" as object identification information to the cooperation module. (Terminal-side communication processing unit 32) to the server-side system 2.

When the distribution processing unit 213 of the cooperation server (cooperation processing unit 21) of the server-side system 2 receives the above message, it is passed to the message processing unit 214 because it is a message that does not contain any hierarchical structure. At this time, the delivery processing unit 213 determines the level of the hierarchical structure, or determines a flag indicating that the message does not include all the hierarchical structures (this flag is attached when the pane viewer sends the message). It is sufficient to determine whether the message includes all hierarchical structures by, for example,

The message processing unit 214, which receives the messages of "transformation ID 1", "transformation ID 2", and "transformation ID 3" from the distribution processing unit 213, refers to the hierarchical structure information storage unit 25 and retrieves the "transformation ID 1", Identification information that matches "deformation ID 2" and "deformation ID 3" is specified, a hierarchical structure above it is extracted, and a hierarchically structured message is generated.

For example, for "deformation ID 1", a hierarchically structured message is generated as "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1/floor slab ID 1/deformation ID 1". Similarly, if "deformation ID 2" is "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/line ID 1/bridge ID 1/span ID 1/floor slab ID 1/deformation ID 2", if "deformation ID 3" is "infrastructure type ID 1" /office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID2/pier ID1/void/deformation ID3”.

The message processing unit 214 passes the message generated in such a hierarchical structure to the distribution processing unit 3, and the distribution processing unit 213 executes the broadcast process as in the first embodiment.

Further, when the uniqueness of the identification information of the object in the hierarchical structure is unique in the hierarchical structure, the following processing is executed.

In this case, the pain viewer (terminal-side display processing unit 31) in the user-side system 3 reads ""deformation ID"=deformation ID1, "deformation ID"=deformation ID2, "deformation ID"=deformation ID3 ” is sent to the server-side system 2 via the cooperation module (terminal-side communication processing unit 32). That is, in addition to object identification information, a message is sent that includes information specifying the hierarchical level in which hierarchical structure the object identification information belongs.

When the distribution processing unit 213 of the cooperation server (cooperation processing unit 21) of the server-side system 2 receives the above message, it is passed to the message processing unit 214 because it is a message that does not contain any hierarchical structure. At this time, the delivery processing unit 213 determines the level of the hierarchical structure, or determines a flag indicating that the message does not include all the hierarchical structures (this flag is attached when the pane viewer sends the message). It is sufficient to determine whether the message includes all hierarchical structures by, for example,

The message processing unit 214 receives the message ""variant ID" = variant ID 1, "variant ID" = variant ID 2, "variant ID" = variant ID 3" from the distribution processing unit 213. The hierarchical structure information By referring to the storage unit 25, each piece of identification information is related to the "deformation ID", that is, it is identified as the identification information of hierarchical level 7 first. Next, identification information that matches "deformation ID 1", "deformation ID 2", and "deformation ID 3" at the identified hierarchical level is identified, and by extracting the upper hierarchical structure, hierarchical structure generate a message that

For example, if ""deformation ID"=deformation ID1", a message hierarchically structured as "infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID1/span ID1/floor slab ID1/deformation ID1" is generated. Generate. Similarly, if ““deformation ID”=deformation ID2”, then “infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID1/span ID1/floor slab ID1/deformation ID2”, “deformation ID If "=deformation ID3", a hierarchically structured message is generated as "infrastructure type ID1/office ID1/route ID1/bridge ID2/pier ID1/void/deformation ID3".

The message processing unit 214 passes the message generated in such a hierarchical structure to the distribution processing unit 3, and the distribution processing unit 213 executes the broadcast process as in the first embodiment.

By executing the processing as described above, when the user-side system 3 sends a message to the server-side system 2, it can be configured so that it does not have to send a message including all hierarchical structures.

The layout of the panes displayed on the display device 72 of the user terminal running the user-side system 3 may be, for example, a large display device as shown in FIG. There are various display device 72 sizes and resolutions. In that case, the layout of each pane is changed according to the size and resolution of the display device 72. For example, in the case of a tablet computer, a tab system may be used as shown in FIG. Note that the tab system is a system in which multiple screens are used by switching between them by selecting the header part.

When the tab method is used, not all panes are displayed, but the pane module loads the corresponding linkage module even for panes that are not currently visible due to unselected tabs. Then, when a message such as a change in target selection is received from the server-side system 2, the pane viewer should be configured to store the message to be displayed and not to update the display at that timing. However, when a message for updating the display is received, by changing the display by blinking the tab name until the user selects the relevant tab, it is possible to prevent the user from noticing the update of the display contents. can be avoided. In addition to changing the display of the tab name part, notifications can be sent in various ways, such as updating the display content.

Then, when the tab of the pane corresponding to the pane viewer is selected and displayed, the pane viewer replaces the stored message, performs processing defined by the pane viewer, for example, web based on the message. Inquiries are made to the application, and processing such as display processing in the relevant information pane is performed.

As a result, even if the user-side system 3 is realized by a tablet computer with a low processing power, it is possible to realize the display processing in the pane with less load.

When multiple panes are displayed on the user-side system 3, when a message broadcast is received from the server-side system 2, multiple panes execute response processing, which may slow down the reaction speed of the system. . Therefore, by suppressing the re-display of other panes displayed by the user-side system 3, it is possible to prevent the reaction speed from being lowered. For this reason, in this embodiment, processing for suppressing the redisplay of panes that take a long time to display, and processing for suppressing the redisplay of the entire pane and performing response processing only for the pane being operated will be described. .

First, regarding the former process, the pane viewer whose redisplay is to be suppressed is designated in advance, and the pane viewer that receives the designation suspends response processing even if it receives a message from the server-side system 2 . Then, the response processing is executed by receiving an instruction to release the suspension of the response processing.

As for the latter process, the link server suspends the broadcast process of broadcasting to all panes. Then, by receiving an instruction to release the suspension of the broadcast process, the broadcast process is executed.

As another embodiment of the present invention, a case in which AND search can be specified across a plurality of panes will be described. FIG. 13 shows an example of the overall concept of the information linkage system 1 in this case. In this embodiment, for example, a bridge is selected again as an object to be displayed in the bridge specification pane viewer, and the deformation level is limited in the deformation detail viewer without redisplaying the selected bridge in the pane viewer. (for example, the level is limited by selecting the currently displayed display of "level B"), information relating to a specific deformation level of a specific bridge may be displayed in a plurality of panes at once.

In this case, the user-side system 3 is provided with a search condition processing section 33 that implements a user interface that explicitly or implicitly designates the start and end of AND search conditions.

When a predetermined operation for activating the search condition processing unit 33 is received, even if the pane viewer of the pane (terminal-side display processing unit 31) receives an input of search conditions, the cooperation module (terminal-side communication processing unit 32) The search condition processing unit 33 temporarily stores the search condition without making an inquiry to the web application (application processing unit 23) of the server-side system 2 based on the search condition. The search conditions received by the pane viewers of other panes (terminal-side display processing unit 31) are also temporarily processed by the search condition processing unit 33 as search conditions based on AND conditions until an operation to end the input of search conditions is received. make a memory Then, when the search condition processing unit 33 receives an operation to terminate the input of a predetermined search condition, the stored search condition is processed by the pane viewer (terminal-side display processing unit 31) of the pane that received the search condition last. The pane viewer executes an inquiry to the web application (application processing unit 23) of the server-side system 2 as an AND search via the corresponding link module, and receives the search result. As in the first embodiment, the received search results are reflected in the display of other panes by performing notify processing. It should be noted that the pane viewer that passes the search conditions stored in the search condition processing unit 33 and executes an inquiry to the web application is not limited to the pane viewer that received the search conditions last. It may be a pane viewer that does not accept conditions.

For example, when the user desires to perform an AND search across different panes, the search condition processing unit 33 is activated by performing a predetermined operation. After the search condition processing unit 33 is activated, when the user inputs a bridge name in the bridge specification pane viewer, the bridge specification pane viewer accepts the input. Then, the input bridge name is temporarily stored in the search condition processing unit 33 as a search condition. At this time, the bridge specification pane viewer does not inquire of the web application of the server-side system 2 .

Then, when the user makes an input specifying the level of deformation in the deformation detail pane viewer, the deformation detail pane viewer accepts the input. Then, the input deformation level is temporarily stored in the search condition processing unit 33 as a search condition. Also at this time, the deformation detail pane viewer does not query the web application of the server-side system 2 .

Then, when the user selects the magnifying glass icon (icon indicating the end of input of the search condition) in the pane as an operation to finish inputting the search condition, the search condition processing unit 33 accepts the selection, and the search condition processing unit 33 changes. "Bridge name" and "deformation level" are passed as search conditions to the deformation detail pane viewer, and the linking module of the deformation detail pane viewer makes an inquiry to the web application using these search conditions as AND conditions.

The linkage module of the deformation detail pane viewer that receives the inquiry result from the web application passes the inquiry result to the deformation detail pane viewer, and the deformation detail pane viewer displays the inquiry result in the deformation detail pane. In addition, the deformation detail pane viewer executes notify processing and reflects the display on other pane viewers.

By executing the above-described processing by the search condition processing unit 33, it is possible to execute a search with an AND condition for independent panes and pane viewers.

By using the information linkage system 1 of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of operations by the user by appropriately displaying information in cooperation with each other in the panes. However, there is also the possibility that an unexpected display will occur due to operations by other users, resulting in confusion and confusion in operation. Therefore, the information linkage system 1 of this embodiment is provided with a system message pane that displays what kind of processing is being performed, and displays it on the display device 72 .

Based on the message received from the linkage server, the system message pane displays "Multiple deformations have been selected." This pane displays which level is currently specified among the levels of the hierarchical structure such as "Member/Deformation". Therefore, the pane viewer of the system message pane monitors messages in other pane viewers activated in the same user-side system 3, replacement of messages in those pane viewers, processing to be executed, and the like. Then, it controls the display of the monitored display information in other pane viewers in its own pane (system message pane).

Furthermore, in the information linkage system 1 of the present invention, all messages received by the linkage server of the server-side system 2 may be stored in a predetermined log server. In this case, the messages received by the distribution processing unit 213 of the link server are stored in the predetermined log storage unit 24 as a log server. FIG. 14 shows an example of the overall concept of the information collaboration system 1 of this embodiment.

By storing messages in the log server, all histories in the information linkage system 1 of the present invention can be collectively accumulated. By successively reproducing the messages stored in the log server, it is possible to reproduce the display in the pane of the user-side system 3 in the past.

Although the information linkage system 1 of the present invention has been described above as being applied to the maintenance and management of structures such as roads and railways, it can be applied to other fields as long as the objects to be managed are hierarchically structured and managed. can also be applied to For example, it can be applied to the maintenance and management of electric power infrastructure, communication infrastructure, water supply and sewerage systems, plants, aerospace infrastructure, and transportation network infrastructure.

It should be noted that the information linkage system 1 may be configured by combining the embodiments of the first to eighth embodiments.
