Description

The present invention relates to an information display system. In particular, the present invention relates to an information display system capable of holding, restoring, etc., information displayed in a plurality of display areas (windows) displayed on a display device with a simple operation.

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.

In order to solve such a problem, it is conceivable to display information related to each display area by linking each display area. However, if the display areas are simply linked, when the display of a certain display area is updated, the display of other linked display areas will also be updated. For example, the display in the display area may be updated by the system independently of the user's direct manipulation. Therefore, even if there is information of interest to the user and the user wishes to retain the information, it cannot be retained. Moreover, even if it is possible to hold the information by a method such as a screenshot, it is not easy to hold and restore the information. In particular, when each display area is linked, it is possible to display multiple levels of one object at the same time. However, it cannot be done conventionally.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present inventor invented an information display system that can display related information in a linked display area, hold the information displayed in the display area, and restore the information with a simple operation.

A first invention is an information display system for performing display control of a display area displayed on a display device of a computer operated by a user. A terminal-side display processing unit that controls the display of the display area; a terminal-side display management processing unit that performs display control of the second display area in the display device of the computer operated by the user; a terminal-side display information storage unit for storing information related to the first display area when the information is displayed, a link information storage unit for managing the first display area for linking information in association with each other, and the first display Receives a message when a predetermined process is performed in an area, refers to the linkage information storage unit, identifies another first display area to be a linkage destination, and displays the message in the identified first display area. and a distribution processing unit for sending the , the information display system for displaying image information in the first display area or restoring the first display area.

By configuring as in the present invention, it is possible to hold the information to be displayed in the display area and restore it with a simple operation.
Further, when the first display areas are linked to each other, when the display of a certain display area is updated, the display of other linked display areas is also updated. Therefore, the display in the display area may change even if the user does not intend it. Therefore, by using the present invention, when the user wants to hold the information in the display area (first display area), the information can be held in the second display area by performing a predetermined operation. can do. Then, the held first display area can be displayed and restored by a simple operation.

For example, when performing collaborative work between remote locations, if one user or a plurality of users hold important information or information of interest, they can switch from their own second display area to the first display area. You can share information with other users who are linked to the display area simply by restoring it to the area. In particular, the present invention enables offices dispersed over a wide area to share specific examples of each event, discuss their differences and similarities, and decide on one opinion, for example, the priority of repairing structures. It is useful in situations such as making a decision. For example, in each office, each specific example is held in the second display area, and by simply restoring the example in line with the theme on the spot, the specific example can be displayed on the display devices in all offices. Examples and related structural information can be displayed from the point of view desired by each office (selection of display area and layout). This will lead to a smoother and faster common understanding.

A second invention is an information display system for performing display control of a display area displayed on a display device of a computer operated by a user, wherein the information display system comprises a display device of a computer operated by a user, wherein the information display system comprises: A terminal-side display processing unit that controls the display of the display area; a terminal-side display management processing unit that performs display control of the second display area in the display device of the computer operated by the user; a terminal-side display information storage unit that stores information about the first display area when the terminal-side display information storage unit stores the first display area as information about the first display area When the terminal-side display management processing unit detects that the display operation of the first display area is performed in the second display area, the terminal-side display information storage The information display system displays the image information of the first display area stored in the unit.

In the above invention, the terminal-side display information storage unit includes image information of the first display area and identification information of the first display area as information about the first display area. When the display management processing unit detects that the display operation of the first display area is performed in the second display area, the display management processing unit displays the first display area stored in the terminal-side display information storage unit. An information display system that identifies the first display area where the display operation has been performed based on the identification information of and displays the image information of the first display area in the identified first display area. can be configured to

If it is desired to display the retained image information of the first display area, it can be realized by executing the processing of the present invention. Also, the image information in the first display area may be displayed by any method such as a pop-up screen. Convenience is improved because it is possible to recognize whether the

A fourth aspect of the present invention is an information display system for performing display control of a display area displayed on a display device of a computer operated by a user, wherein the information display system comprises a display device of a computer operated by the user, wherein: A terminal-side display processing unit that controls the display of the display area; a terminal-side display management processing unit that performs display control of the second display area in the display device of the computer operated by the user; a terminal-side display information storage unit for storing information related to the first display area when the information is displayed, a link information storage unit for managing the first display area for linking information in association with each other, and the first display Receives a message when a predetermined process is performed in an area, refers to the linkage information storage unit, identifies another first display area to be a linkage destination, and displays the message in the identified first display area. and a distribution processing unit for transmitting the terminal side display information storage unit, as information related to the first display area, the identification information of the first display area and the internal state of the first display area When the terminal-side display management processing unit detects that the first display area has been restored in the second display area, the information is stored in the terminal-side display information storage unit. identifying the first display area in which the restoration operation has been performed based on the identification information of the first display area, and determining the internal state of the first display area in the identified first display area; information is processed, and the delivery processing unit receives a message corresponding to the processing of the internal state information of the first display area, refers to the linkage information storage unit, and selects another first display area as a linkage destination. is specified, and by sending the message to the specified first display area, the other first display area to be linked is made to execute the process corresponding to the message. .

If it is desired to restore the retained internal state information of the first display area, it can be realized by executing the processing of the present invention. If the retained internal state of the first display area is restored to the first display area, the first display area is a normal display area and may be linked with other display areas. In that case, other first display areas that cooperate with the first display area whose internal state has been restored can be reflected based on the restoration, and information can be shared.

In the above-described invention, the terminal-side display processing unit is set with a level corresponding to a hierarchical structure of messages and a process for the message, and a level corresponding to the message hierarchy is set. A message having a part or all of the structure is received via the terminal-side communication processing unit , processing based on the message corresponding to the set level is executed, and the terminal-side display processing unit performs display control. It can be configured as an information display system that displays in one display area.

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.

As described above, by using the information display 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.

In the above invention, the information display system further comprises a hierarchical structure information storage unit for storing object identification information, and a message processing unit for generating a hierarchically structured message based on the object identification information in the message. , and if the received message does not have a hierarchical structure, the delivery processing unit converts the received message into a hierarchically structured message, refers to the cooperation information storage unit, and becomes a cooperation destination. Another first display area is specified, and a message having the hierarchical structure is sent to the specified first display area, and the terminal-side display processing unit performs level processing according to the hierarchical structure of the message and processing for the message. is set, and a message having a part or all of the hierarchical structure when predetermined processing is performed in the first display area is accepted via the terminal side communication processing unit , and corresponds to the set level It can be configured as an information display system that executes processing based on the message to be displayed in the first display area controlled by the terminal-side display processing unit.

By configuring as in the present invention, it is possible to obtain the same technical effects as the above-described invention. In other words, by using the information display 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, if the message sent from the display area is not hierarchically structured, a generation process for hierarchically structuring the message is executed. Therefore, the independence of the program that controls the display area can be enhanced.

In the above-described invention, the terminal-side display processing unit replaces the message sent from the distribution processing unit received via the terminal-side communication processing unit with the set level, and based on the message after replacement It can be configured as an information display system in which the terminal-side display processing unit executes processing and displays in the first display area controlled by the terminal-side display processing unit.

As in the present invention, the processing based on the hierarchical structure of the message is preferably performed by replacing the message with the level set in the display area and executing the processing based on the message after replacement. In this specification, replacement of a message means contraction of the message according to the level set in the display area.

In the above invention, the information display system includes the first display area and/or the second display area classified into groups based on information including at least the size and/or resolution of the display device of the computer to be used. a terminal display control processing unit having information on the combination and arrangement of display areas, and using information on the size and/or resolution of the display device, the first display area in the terminal display control processing unit and/or specifying information on the combination and arrangement of the second display areas, and according to the specified information, each of the terminal-side display processing units controls the display of its own display area on the display device, It can be configured like an information display system.

In a system for linking information like the present invention, there are cases where a plurality of computers are linking information. In such a case, each computer may have a different display device size and resolution. Therefore, it is required to arrange the display areas in a way that is suitable for the size and resolution of each display device, and this can be achieved by using the present invention.

In the above invention, the information display system further comprises a log storage unit for storing the received message, and a terminal-side restoration processing unit for restoring the operation on the display area. The restoration processing unit detects an operation to restore by the operation n operations before and sends the message to the distribution processing unit, and the distribution processing unit detects the operation n operations before the n operations corresponding to the received message. is specified based on the log storage unit, and a message based on the specified log is delivered to the display area of the cooperation destination that is the delivery destination of the message. can be done.

In each of the above inventions, an operation performed in a certain display area (first display area) is reflected in other display areas to be linked. Therefore, if the user makes an erroneous operation in a certain display area, and that pane is linked to other display areas, not only the erroneously operated display area but also other linked display areas The erroneous operation is also reflected in the display area. As a result, not only the user who made the wrong operation, but also other users will be updated with a display that has little relevance to their previous operations. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to return to the original state by a simple operation.

Therefore, as in the present invention, messages are stored as a log, and by specifying the log n times before, the message based on it is delivered to the display area of the collaboration destination, which is the delivery destination. operation becomes possible. This way, even if you make a mistake, you can easily undo it. Moreover, even if the operation is not an erroneous operation, the operation at the time desired by the user can be restored.

The information display system of the first invention can be realized by causing a computer to read and execute the program of the invention. That is, the computer is operated by a terminal-side display processing unit that controls the display of the first display area in the display device of the computer operated by the user, and in the display device of the computer operated by the user, the display control of the second display area is performed. the terminal-side display management processing unit that performs the processing, and the cooperation information storage unit that accepts a message when a predetermined process is performed in the first display area and associates and manages the first display area that performs information cooperation. a distribution processing unit that identifies another first display area to be a cooperation destination and sends the message to the identified first display area , wherein the terminal-side display management processing unit is: , a terminal-side display information storage unit for storing information relating to said first display area when it is registered in said second display area when it detects that a predetermined operation has been performed in said second display area; A program for referring to and displaying image information in the first display area or restoring the first display area.
Also, the information display system of the second invention can be realized by causing a computer to read and execute the program of the invention. That is, the computer is operated by a terminal-side display processing unit that controls the display of the first display area in the display device of the computer operated by the user, and in the display device of the computer operated by the user, the display control of the second display area is performed. A program that functions as a terminal-side display management processing unit that performs , referring to a terminal-side display information storage unit that stores information about the first display area when registered in the second display area, and displaying image information of the first display area. .
Further, the information display system of the fourth invention can be realized by reading the program of the invention into a computer and executing it. That is, the computer is operated by a terminal-side display processing unit that controls the display of the first display area in the display device of the computer operated by the user, and in the display device of the computer operated by the user, the display control of the second display area is performed. the terminal-side display management processing unit that performs the processing, and the cooperation information storage unit that accepts a message when a predetermined process is performed in the first display area and associates and manages the first display area that performs information cooperation. a distribution processing unit that identifies another first display area to be a cooperation destination and sends the message to the identified first display area, wherein the terminal-side display management processing unit is: Furthermore, when it is detected that the restoration operation of the first display area has been performed in the second display area, the identification information of the first display area and the information registered in the second display area are stored. The restoring operation is performed based on the identification information of the first display area by referring to a terminal-side display information storage unit that stores information about the first display area including internal state information of the first display area. specifies the first display area where the is performed, executes processing for the internal state information of the first display area in the specified first display area, and the distribution processing unit performs the first display area receive a message corresponding to the processing for the internal state information of the above, refer to the above-mentioned cooperation information storage unit, specify another first display area to be a cooperation destination, and send the above-mentioned message to the specified first display area By doing so, the program causes another first display area, which is a cooperation destination, to execute processing corresponding to the message.

By using the information display system of the present invention, it is possible to hold the information to be displayed in the display area while displaying the related information in the linked display area, and to restore the information with a simple operation.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the system configuration of the information display system 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 schematically shows an image of processing. The information display system 1 comprises a server-side system 2 and a user-side system 3 used by each user. Here, the term “user” means anyone who uses the system, and includes people who use computers, such as field staff, office staff who organize information and make decisions, and head office and branch office staff who supervise operations. be. 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.

Further, each means in the information display system 1 of the present invention is only 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 identifies a linking destination based on the information stored in the linking information storage unit 212, and distributes the message to the specified linking destination. do. 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 display 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 display system 1 of the present invention.

An object is a data element in the information display system 1 or each hierarchical structure. The data elements are, for example, elements to be managed using the information display system 1 of the present invention, such as offices, routes such as expressways, 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 display 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 unit 31 , a terminal-side communication processing unit 32 , a terminal-side display management processing unit 33 and a terminal-side display information storage unit 34 .

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, the display device 72 of the user terminal 1 displays panes A to C as normal panes (the D pane is a pinup board, so details will be described later). In the user-side system 3, terminal-side display processing units 31 (pane viewers) corresponding to panes A to C are activated, and corresponding terminal-side communication processing units 32 (cooperation modules) are activated. is doing. 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. A pinup board, which will be described later, is not shown in FIG.

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 .

The user-side system 3 can be realized by having a terminal-side display processing unit 31 and a terminal-side communication processing unit 32 when cooperation between display areas is performed. A terminal-side display management processing unit 34 and a terminal-side display information storage unit 35, which are pane viewers for controlling the display of pinup board panes (hereinafter referred to as "pinup boards").

The pinup board whose display is controlled by the terminal-side display management processing unit 34 cooperates with other panes (all or part of panes) displayed by the user-side system 3, and when a predetermined operation is performed in each pane, Register the state of the pane on the pinup board and display it. FIG. 5 shows an example of a display screen when a pinup board is provided as a pane. In FIG. 5, P1 to P5 are panes, P1 to P4 are normal panes, and P5 is a pinup board. Also, S1 to S5 displayed in the display area of the pinup board of P5 are thumbnails of pinup (registered on the pinup board) thumbnails of reduced screen shots of panes at the time of pinup. In each pane, a predetermined mark (pinup icon) M for pinup is displayed, and when the icon is pressed, the pane is pinned up on the pinup board. Screenshots may be displayed as they are in the display area of the pinup board instead of thumbnails. That is, in the display area of the pinup board, it is sufficient to display image information that is the same size or reduced size of the pane at the time of pinup. The same size image information is a screen shot, and the reduced image information is a thumbnail.

The terminal-side display management processing unit 34 monitors predetermined operations on the pinup board. Predetermined control processing is then executed on the pane corresponding to the thumbnail that has been manipulated on the pinup board. For example, a screen shot corresponding to a thumbnail is displayed in a predetermined pane (or a predetermined location), or the internal state information of the pane corresponding to the thumbnail is restored to the corresponding pane. FIG. 6 schematically shows this.

When a pinup operation is performed in a certain pane, the terminal-side display management processing unit 34 receives from the terminal-side display processing unit 31 the pane identification information of the pane and the image information (screenshot) of the pane at the time of the pinup operation. ), the internal state information in the pane at the time when the pinup operation was performed in the pane is received and stored in the terminal side display information storage unit 35 described later in association with the pinup identification information. In addition, when a predetermined operation is performed on a certain thumbnail on the pinup board, the terminal-side display information storage unit 35, which will be described later, is referred to, and the pane identification information corresponding to the thumbnail and the screen shot image information of the pane are retrieved. , internal state information, etc. of the pane are passed to the terminal-side display processing unit 31 of the pane having the identified pane identification information, and display or restore operation is performed.

It should be noted that the terminal-side display management processing unit 34 associates and manages an area for displaying thumbnails on the pinup board and pinup identification information corresponding to the thumbnails displayed there. This makes it possible to specify which pane's thumbnail is displayed in which display area of the pinup board.

The terminal-side display information storage unit 35 stores information about panes registered in the pinup board. For example, the pane identification information, the screen shot image information of the pane at the time when the pinup operation was performed in the pane, the information in the pane at the time when the pinup operation was performed in the pane (internal state information) are combined into predetermined identification information (pinup identification information). They are stored in association with each other. This information is called pinup information. Note that the pinup information described above is just an example, and may include other information. The internal state information includes, for example, object IDs used in messages, information displayed in panes, search queries, and the like. As the pinup identification information, unique information may be automatically numbered in the order in which the panes were pinned up. FIG. 7 schematically shows an example of the terminal-side display information storage unit 35. As shown in FIG.

(basic configuration)
Next, an example of the processing in the basic configuration of the information display system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 8 and the image diagram of the processing of FIG. As for the basic configuration, the information display system 1 without using the terminal-side display management processing unit 33 (pinup board pane viewer) and the terminal-side display information storage unit 34 will be described. That is, the information display system 1 in its basic configuration is configured as shown in FIG. It should be noted that even in the information display system 1 having the configuration of FIG. 1, the same processing is executed for the configuration that is the same as the basic configuration.

In the information display system 1 of the present invention, the initiation process (S100), the notify process (S110), the broadcast process (S120), and the response process (S130) are sequentially executed to realize the process. Each processing 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 display system 1 of the present invention, in the terminal display control processing unit 22, the user in the organization is preliminarily specified 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 display 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 display 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. 9 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. 11, 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. 11A shows the case of the above-described first cooperation processing, and shows an example of the cooperation information storage unit 212 in a state where only the A panes of the user terminals 1 and 2 in FIG. 9 are linked. . FIG. 11B 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. 9 are associated. FIG. 11C 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. 11, each pane is managed using 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. 12 shows an example of the message. In FIG. 12, 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. 12 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. 13 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. 12 and 13, 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 specified 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=X, Sender=X, Message=“X””, pane identification information, and the contents of the information to be displayed. will generate and send a message containing In addition to characters, numbers, symbols, etc., X described above includes appropriate information such as character strings, number strings, and symbol strings.

Next, in addition to the basic configuration of the information display system 1, processing when a pane is pinned up on a pinup board will be described. An example of the overall system configuration of the information display system 1 in this case is shown in FIG. 1, an image of processing is shown in FIG. 2, and an example of an image of the user side system 3 is shown in FIG.

Each pane displays information in the same manner as in the above-described embodiments. Then, for example, when the user desires to pinup the information in the B pane, he/she presses the pinup icon in the B pane. The pane viewer of B pane (the terminal-side display processing unit 31) receives this press, and the pane viewer of B pane receives pinup information such as pane identification information of B pane, screen shot image information of B pane, and internal state information. is passed to the pinup board viewer (terminal-side display management unit 34). Then, the pinup board viewer assigns the pinup identification information and stores it in the terminal side display information storage unit 35 . At this time, the pinned date and time information is also stored in the terminal side display information storage unit 35 . The pinup viewer also displays a thumbnail generated from the screen shot of the B pane of the pinup information in the display area of the most recently pinned thumbnail in its display area. Furthermore, the thumbnail display area and the pinup identification information 1 are associated therewith. An example of this processing is shown in FIG. Note that the pinup thumbnails in the pinup viewer may be displayed based on a predetermined standard. All thumbnails may be displayed, or some thumbnails may be displayed. When displaying some thumbnails, a predetermined number of thumbnails may be displayed in order from the newly pinned-up thumbnail, and the thumbnails more than the predetermined number may be displayed by scrolling or changing pages. Since the display area of the pinup board is limited, there is a trade-off between the number of thumbnails that can be displayed in the display area and the size of the thumbnails. Therefore, increase the thumbnail size to reduce the number of thumbnails that can be displayed in the pinup board display area, or decrease the thumbnail size to increase the number of thumbnails that can be displayed in the pinup board display area. It is preferable to allow the user to select one or the other, and display according to the user's selection. Furthermore, in order to save the storage capacity of the storage device 71, an upper limit may be set for the number of thumbnails that can be pinned up on the pinup board, or the thumbnails may be automatically deleted after a certain period of time (for example, one week). In this case, deletion can be determined based on the pinup date and time stored in the terminal display information storage unit 35, the number of pinups, and the like.

By executing the above processing, the pinup board displays the thumbnail of the B pane at the time of pinup.

Assume that the pinup icon in the C pane is further pressed. When the C-pane pane viewer (terminal-side display processing unit 31) receives this press, the C-pane pane viewer receives pinup information such as C-pane identification information, C-pane screenshot image information, and internal state information. is passed to the pinup board viewer (terminal-side display management unit 34). Then, the pinup board viewer assigns the pinup identification information and stores it in the terminal side display information storage unit 35 . At this time, the pinned date and time information is also stored in the terminal side display information storage unit 35 . Furthermore, the pinup board viewer displays the thumbnail generated from the screen shot of the B pane among the pinup information in the display area of the second most recently pinned thumbnail, and displays the most recently pinned thumbnail display area. to display the thumbnail of the C pane of the pinup information. Further, the display area of the second thumbnail and the pinup identification information 1 are associated with each other, and the display area of the first thumbnail and the pinup identification information 2 are associated with each other. An example of this processing is shown in FIG. Each time a pane is pinned up, the correspondence between the thumbnail display area and the pinup identification information is updated sequentially.

Next, the processing for redisplaying each pane from the pinup board will be described. Note that there are two types of redisplay. The first is to temporarily reproduce only the display of the screenshot corresponding to the thumbnail displayed on the pinup board in the display area of the corresponding pane. This is the case when restoring and allowing subsequent operations.

First, the case of reproducing the thumbnails displayed on the pinup board in the corresponding pane will be described. An example of this processing is shown in FIG.

A user who wants to reproduce the thumbnail displayed on the pinup board performs a predetermined operation, such as placing an input device such as a mouse over the thumbnail, and the pinup board viewer detects the operation. Then, the pinup board viewer refers to the terminal-side display information storage unit 35 based on the pinup identification information corresponding to the display area of the thumbnail on which the predetermined operation has been performed, and identifies the pane of the thumbnail on which the predetermined operation has been performed. Identify information. Then, the image information of the screenshot corresponding to the thumbnail is delivered to the pane viewer of the pane having the identified pane identification information. The meaning of passing image information includes passing image information itself, as well as passing identification information (image ID) of image information and a pointer to image information. That is, any device may be used as long as it exchanges information that enables image information to be displayed.

The pane viewer that receives the screenshot image information displays the received screenshot in that pane. This display may be a superimposed display in which the target pane is not operated, or the display may be switched through the target pane. The latter case will be described below.

In the case of FIG. 17, since the mouse is over the thumbnail of pane B on the pinup board, the pinup board viewer refers to the terminal side display information storage unit 35 based on the pinup identification information 1 corresponding to the display area of the thumbnail. , pane identification information 002 . Then, the image information of the screen shot corresponding to the thumbnail of the B pane stored in the terminal-side display information storage unit 35 is passed to the pane viewer of the B pane having the specified pane identification information 002 . Then, the pane viewer of the B pane displays the received screen shot in the B pane.

Through the above processing, the screen shot corresponding to the pinup board thumbnail can be reproduced and displayed in the corresponding pane.

Furthermore, when the user stops displaying the reproduction of the pinup board thumbnails, the user performs a predetermined operation, such as removing an input device such as a mouse from the thumbnail display area, and the pinup board viewer detects this operation. Then, the pinup board viewer refers to the terminal-side display information storage unit 35 based on the pinup identification information corresponding to the display area of the thumbnail on which the predetermined operation has been performed, and identifies the pane of the thumbnail on which the predetermined operation has been performed. Identify information. Then, an instruction to hide the screen shot corresponding to the thumbnail is passed to the pane viewer of the pane having the specified pane identification information. Upon receiving this instruction, the pane viewer stops displaying the screen shot to which the thumbnail corresponds and resumes the original display.

In the case of FIG. 17, when the mouse is removed from the thumbnail display area of the B pane on the pinup board, the pinup board viewer stores the terminal-side display information storage unit based on the pinup identification information 1 corresponding to the thumbnail display area. 35 to identify the pane identification information 002 . Then, an instruction to hide the screen shot corresponding to the thumbnail of B-pane is passed to the pane viewer of B-pane having the specified pane identification information 002 . Then, the pane viewer of B-pane stops displaying the screen shot corresponding to the thumbnail of B-pane that was being displayed, and restores the original display, that is, the display that B-pane should originally perform.

When reproducing the pinup board thumbnail, in addition to displaying it in the corresponding pane as described above, the above information may be passed to another pane to display the screenshot to which the thumbnail corresponds. Or, like a pop-up screen, the screen shot to which the thumbnail corresponds may be displayed so as to overlap some or all of the other panes.

By enabling the reproduction operation described above, the user can confirm the display content in the original size when the operation was performed, not in the reduced thumbnail size, which is highly convenient.

Next, the case of restoring the pinup board information to the corresponding pane will be described. This is the case when the corresponding pane not only displays the screenshot to which the thumbnail corresponds, but also restores the pane's internal state itself, in order to allow subsequent manipulation of the pane. An example of this processing is shown in FIG.

In order for the terminal-side display processing unit 31 to display information in a pane, the information to be displayed is acquired from the application processing unit 23 and the like, and held as internal state information. In the process of FIG. 17, the screen shot corresponding to the pinup board thumbnail is only displayed in the display area of the pane. It does not match the information in the internal state. This is because this operation is used simply to confirm the display contents of the thumbnails. On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 18, since the information itself of the internal state of the pane is restored, the information of the internal state of the pane matches the information displayed in the pane based on the internal state. As a result, subsequent operations can be performed in the relevant pane, and at the same time, the restored contents can be reflected in other panes linked to the relevant pane.

A user who wants to restore the state of the thumbnails displayed on the pinup board to the corresponding pane can perform a predetermined operation, such as selecting (clicking) an input device such as a mouse in the thumbnail display area. The board viewer detects that operation. Then, the pinup board viewer refers to the terminal-side display information storage unit 35 based on the pinup identification information corresponding to the display area of the thumbnail on which the predetermined operation has been performed, and identifies the pane of the thumbnail on which the predetermined operation has been performed. Identify information and internal state information. Then, the identified internal state information is delivered to the pane viewer of the pane having the identified pane identification information. The pane viewer that has received the internal state information of the pane interprets it as a request to display the received internal state information of the pane, and based on the internal state information, displays the pane in the same manner as in the basic configuration.

In the case of FIG. 18, when it detects that the mouse has been clicked in the thumbnail display area of the C-pane on the pinup board, the pinup board viewer displays the pinup on the terminal side based on the pinup identification information 2 corresponding to the thumbnail display area. The information storage unit 35 is referred to, and the pane identification information 003 is specified. Then, the internal state information of the pane stored in the terminal-side display information storage unit 35, such as the structure ID, is delivered to the pane viewer of the C-pane having the specified pane identification information 003. FIG. Then, the pane viewer of the C pane interprets the received pane internal state information display request, and displays it in the C pane as usual based on the internal state information, as in the processing in the basic configuration.

The pane viewer of the pane displayed in this way executes notify processing in the same way as the processing in the basic configuration. That is, the pane viewer that performed the above display detects that an operation to switch the object to be displayed has been performed, and passes a message corresponding to the above-described internal state information to the cooperation module. The linking module then 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 .

In the case of FIG. 18, the pane viewer of the C pane detects that the display has been switched based on the internal state information, and sends the internal state information, such as the structure ID pass the corresponding message. Then, the cooperation module passes the message including the structure ID and the pane viewer identification information 003 of the pane viewer to which the pane corresponds to the cooperation server of the server-side system 2 .

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 specified 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 it is stored in the linkage information storage unit 212 that panes linked to C pane correspond to A pane of the same user system 2 and A pane and B pane of another user system 2, identifies it. Then, the distribution processing unit 213 of the link server generates the specified link destination pane viewer, the A pane pane viewer of the same user side system 2, the A pane pane viewer of the other user side system 2, and the B pane pane viewer of the other user side system 2. , the message for which the delivery has been accepted, for example, the message of the structure part ID, is broadcasted.

When broadcast processing is executed by executing the above processing, response processing is executed in each pane viewer based on the distributed message.

That is, in the A-pane pane viewer of the same user-side system 2 as the C-pane pane viewer, the A-pane pane viewer of the other user-side system 2, and the B-pane pane viewer, the message, For example, based on the structure ID message, each pane viewer executes corresponding response processing.

By executing such processing, it is possible to restore the pane based on the internal state of the pane at the time it was registered in the pinup board, and also to other panes linked to that pane. Processing corresponding to the restored state can be reflected. This allows, for example, a remote user to simply restore from their pinup board to their own pane and have that information immediately available to other users viewing all linked panes. can cooperate.

Note that the information display system 1 in the first embodiment can also be used as a general-purpose system. That is, the messages delivered from the server-side system 2 do not have to be hierarchically structured, and each pane does not have to be associated with a level according to the hierarchical structure of the messages. According to the message distributed from the server-side system 2, display control corresponding to the message may be performed. As a result, for example, panes are linked between the same or different computers, and messages are delivered to the linked panes. Therefore, when restoring a pane registered in the pinup board, processing for messages corresponding to the restored pane can be executed in other panes to be linked.

In the basic configuration and the first embodiment described above, 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. Although explained as an example, only part of the information in the hierarchical structure is sent in the notify process without sending the entire hierarchical structure, and the cooperation processing unit 21 of the server-side system 2 makes the message hierarchical based on it. It can also be configured to execute broadcast processing after generating

That is, in the basic configuration and the pane viewer (terminal-side display processing unit 31) of the first embodiment, since the pane viewer manages the level of the hierarchical structure to be processed by itself, the level of the hierarchical structure is suitable for the level of the hierarchical structure. This message is sent to the server-side system 2 via the cooperation 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 the basic configuration, a message including all levels of the hierarchical structure such as "infrastructure type ID 1/office ID 1/route 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. 19 shows an example of the overall system configuration of the information display system 1 in this embodiment. Also, FIG. 20 shows an example of the concept of generating hierarchically structured messages in this embodiment.

The server-side system 2 of the information display 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 display system 1 of the present invention in a form that allows identification of the hierarchical structure.

FIG. 21 schematically shows an example of a conceptual diagram of the hierarchical structure information storage unit 25. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 21, 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 above-described basic configuration and embodiment 1, 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 ID1/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" A description will be given using the case where 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 the identification information of objects in the hierarchical structure: uniqueness in the entire information display 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 (the 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 processing in the same basic configuration 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. An example of the overall concept of the information display system 1 in this case is shown in FIG. 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 35 that implements a user interface for explicitly or implicitly designating the start and end of AND search conditions.

When a predetermined operation for activating the search condition processing unit 35 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 35 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 35 as search conditions based on AND conditions until an operation to end the input of the search conditions is received. make a memory When the search condition processing unit 35 receives an operation to end 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 35 and executes an inquiry to the web application is not limited to the pane viewer that received the search conditions last, and the pane viewer that received the search conditions or the search condition. It may be a pane viewer that does not accept conditions.

For example, when the user wants to perform an AND search over different panes, the search condition processing unit 35 is activated by performing a predetermined operation. After the search condition processing unit 35 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 35 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 35 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 35 accepts the selection, and the search condition processing unit 35 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 35, it becomes possible to execute a search with an AND condition for independent panes and pane viewers.

By using the information display system 1 of the present invention, panes cooperate with each other to display information as appropriate, thereby reducing operations by the user. 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 display 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 display system 1 of the present invention, all messages received by the link 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. 24 shows an example of the overall system configuration of the information display system 1 of this embodiment.

By storing messages in the log server, all histories in the information display 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.

As a different embodiment from the basic configuration of Embodiments 1 to 7, processing for restoring the state when the user makes an erroneous operation will be described. For example, if a user makes an erroneous operation in a certain pane, and that pane is linked to other panes, not only the pane in which the erroneous operation was performed but also the linked panes The erroneous operation is reflected. As a result, not only the user who made the wrong operation, but also other users will be updated with a display that has little relevance to their previous operations. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to return to the original state by a simple operation.

In order to cope with this, it is preferable to use the functions of the information display system 1 of the seventh embodiment. That is, in the information display system 1 of the seventh embodiment, messages received by the distribution processing unit 213 of the link server of the server-side system 2 are stored in the predetermined log storage unit 24, which is a log server. Therefore, a rewind button RB for returning to the previous operation is provided on the screen. When it is detected that the rewind button RB has been pressed, the cooperation server specifies and executes the content of the second-to-last operation by the user. This allows you to restore each pane to its original state if you make a mistake. In this case, the rewind button RB is provided in a pane (playback pane) for performing that operation.

Also, a forward button FB may be provided in addition to the rewind button RB. By using the rewind button RB and the forward button FB, the user can freely return to the display state immediately before or before that, or return to the current state. An example of the overall system configuration of the information display system 1 in this case is shown in FIG.

The information display system 1 of this embodiment has a terminal-side restoration processing unit 36 that functions as a pane viewer (playback pane viewer) that controls a pane (playback pane) that displays the rewind button RB and the forward button FB. FIG. 26 shows an example of a screen including a playback pane. In FIG. 26, the P1 to P4 panes are displayed, the P1 to P3 panes being normal panes, and the P4 pane being the playback pane. A rewind button RB and a forward button FB are displayed in the P4 pane. Further, FIG. 27 shows the rewind processing in this embodiment, and FIG. 28 shows the forward processing. 27 and 28, the terminal-side display management processing unit 33 and the terminal-side display information storage unit 34 are omitted.

First, rewind processing will be described.

The user clicks a rewind button RB displayed in the playback pane with an input device such as a mouse. When the Playback Pane Viewer detects this selection, the Playback Pane Viewer displays a request message for updating the display using the log from n times before (request to display by n operations before) according to the number of clicks n. message) to the link module corresponding to the playback pane viewer. Note that n starts from 1, is incremented each time the rewind button RB is pressed, and is decremented each time the forward button FB is pressed. Then, the cooperation module passes the received request message and the user identification information of the user to the server-side system 2 .

The distribution processing unit 213 in the cooperation processing unit 21 of the server-side system 2 receives the request message from the cooperation module of the user-side system 3, refers to the log storage unit 24 based on the request message, and retrieves the user identification information. Identify the log that is n logs before. Then, the distribution processing unit 213 broadcasts the message based on the log to the pane viewers with which the message in the log is linked. Note that the process of specifying the pane viewer to be linked can be realized by the basic configuration and the same process as in the first to seventh embodiments.

As a result, each linking module of the user-side system 3 that has received the broadcast message from the linking server passes the message to the corresponding pane viewer, and causes each pane viewer to execute the corresponding process.

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

Forward processing will now be described.

The user clicks the forward button FB displayed in the playback pane with an input device such as a mouse. When the playback pane viewer detects this selection, the playback pane viewer ignores the pressing of the forward button FB unless the previous operation was a rewind operation or a forward operation. If the previous operation is a rewind operation or a forward operation, n starts from 1, is incremented each time the rewind button RB is pressed, and is decremented each time the forward button FB is pressed. In response to n obtained in this way, a request message to update the display using the log of n times before (request message to display by the operation of n times before) is sent to the cooperation module corresponding to the playback pane viewer. hand over. Then, the cooperation module passes the received request message and the user identification information of the user to the server-side system 2 . Subsequent processing is the same as in rewind processing.

The forward processing can be executed by executing the processing as described above.

It should be noted that the operation of pressing the rewind button RB and the operation of pressing the forward button FB are not stored in the log storage unit 24 .

Furthermore, the log storage unit 24 does not store the "restoration" operation of the first display area recorded in the second display area in the first embodiment. Therefore, the terminal-side display management processing unit 33 attaches a tag indicating that the terminal-side display processing unit 31 that controls the first display area to be restored is not stored as a log, and the first display area is displayed. Passes internal state information for the region. Then, when the terminal-side display processing unit 31 restores the internal state information in the first display area based on the transferred image information of the first display area, terminal-side display processing for controlling the first display area is executed. When the terminal-side communication processing unit 32 notifies the server-side system 2 of a message, the unit 31 attaches a tag indicating that the log storage unit 24 does not store the message as a log. The server-side system 2 that has received this notification controls not to store the message as a log in the log storage unit 24 when the message with the tag is received.

As described above, usability can be improved by not storing rewind, forward, and restore operations as logs.

The information display 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, but it can be applied to other fields as long as the objects to be managed are managed in a hierarchical structure. 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 display system 1 may be configured by combining the basic configuration and the embodiments of the first to eighth embodiments.

By using the information display system of the present invention, it is possible to hold the information to be displayed in the display area while displaying the related information in the linked display area, and to restore the information with a simple operation.
