(Example of construction plan contents)
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of a construction plan. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which a gas pipe 100 is the target of construction. The construction on the gas pipe 100 is, for example, replacement work for the gas pipe 100. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the gas pipe 100 is laid under a road 102. A plurality of consumers 106 reside in a construction target area 104 that is the target of the construction.

Of the multiple consumers 106, consumers 106-A to 106-D are connected to the gas pipe 100 via a branch pipe 108. Also, of the multiple consumers 106, consumers 106-E to 106-M are connected to the gas pipe 100 via branch pipes 110 and 112. These consumers 106-A to 106-M are consumers that use city gas. Consumers 106-D to 106-M are connected to a gas supply pipe other than the gas pipe 100, for example, so that the gas supply will not be stopped during the construction period, but consumers 106-A to 106-C are consumers whose gas supply is scheduled to be stopped during the construction period, for example, because they are not connected to a gas supply pipe other than the gas pipe 100. Also, of the multiple consumers 106, consumers 106-N to 106-P are consumers that are not connected to the gas pipe 100 in the first place and use only electricity without using city gas.

Note that while Figure 1 only shows first-floor customers 106-A to 106-P facing road 102, the construction area 104 also includes second-floor customers residing behind the first-floor customers as seen from road 102, and third-floor customers residing behind the second-floor customers.

In addition, the management control unit 58 has a function to display the contents of the PR information and the status of distribution of the PR papers on the monitor 22 based on the information stored in the database 32 corresponding to one of the multiple customers 106 when a request to confirm the progress of construction is made to one of the multiple customers 106, and a function to display the message on the monitor 22 when message information is stored in the database 32, and to display the response on the monitor 22 when response information is stored in the database 32.

Next, we will explain the construction management method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of a construction management method according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4, the construction management method according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a construction plan image display step S1, a PR information generation step S2, a PR information display step S3, a PR paper printing step S4, a data storage step S5, and a management content display step S6.

(Construction plan image display step S1)
Fig. 5 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the construction plan image display step S1 shown in Fig. 4. The construction plan image display step S1 is a step for displaying a construction plan image 60 (see Fig. 7) described later on the monitor 22.

In this construction plan image display step S1, first, a construction company employee inputs the details of the construction plan to be carried out in the above-mentioned construction target area 104 into the construction management device 10 (step S1-1).

Figure 6 shows an example of the contents of a construction plan entered by a construction company employee. The contents of this construction plan include, for example, "construction details," "construction location," and "construction period." Specific details of the construction, such as gas pipe replacement work, are entered in "construction details." The "starting point" address and the "ending point" address are entered in "construction location." The "start" date and time and the "end" date and time are entered in "construction period."

When the construction plan contents are input into the construction management device 10 by the construction company staff, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires construction plan content information related to the construction plan contents input into the construction management device 10. In addition, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 extracts map information from a database on the network 16 or a database 32 communicably connected to the control device 30 based on the address information of the construction target area 104 included in the construction plan content information, i.e., the address information of the "start point" and "end point" of the "construction site", and acquires this map information (step S1-2).

Then, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) of the construction management device 10 generates image information of a construction plan image showing the construction plan contents on a map of the construction target area 104 based on the above-mentioned map information and construction plan content information (step S1-3).

Then, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) of the construction management device 10 outputs image information of the construction plan image to the monitor 22 (step S1-4).

Then, the monitor 22 of the construction management device 10 displays the construction plan image based on the image information (step S1-5).

Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of a construction plan image 60 displayed on the monitor 22. In this way, the monitor 22 of the construction management device 10 (see Figures 2 and 3) displays a construction plan image 60 showing the planned contents of the construction on a map of the construction area 104. Specifically, the construction plan image 60 depicts the planned contents of the construction on an image of the road 102 corresponding to Figure 1. The planned contents of the construction include a position display 64 showing the construction section and a construction content display 66 showing the contents of the construction. The position display 64 shows the "start point" to the "end point" of the "construction site".

The map information includes the installation locations of multiple gas pipes, including the gas pipe 100 and other gas supply pipes, and installation information regarding the connection status between the multiple gas pipes and multiple consumers 106. Based on the installation information and construction plan content information, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) classifies the multiple consumers 106 into consumers who use "city gas" but are not affected by construction, consumers who use city gas but are scheduled to have their city gas service cut off during construction, and consumers who are "NOT city gas" consumers who do not use city gas and only use electricity.

That is, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) classifies the multiple consumers 106 according to the usage type of the multiple gas pipes and whether or not they are affected by construction. In this case, the usage type corresponds to "city gas" and "NOT city gas", and "whether or not they are affected by construction" corresponds to "city gas stopped during construction." The control device 30 (display control unit 54) then includes classification information representing the classification of each of the multiple consumers 106 in the above-mentioned image information.

The monitor 22 of the construction management device 10 includes in the construction plan image 60 a classification display for each of the multiple consumers 106, classified into "city gas," "city gas stopped during construction," and "NOT city gas," based on the classification information included in the image information. Specifically, the construction plan image 60 displays the multiple consumers 106 in a different manner (coloring) for each classification, and displays a legend 70 indicating the classification as a classification display.

(PR information generation step S2)
Next, in a PR information generation step S2, the control device 30 (PR information generation unit 52) of the construction management device 10 generates PR information including the contents, location, and period of construction for each of the multiple consumers 106 residing in the construction target area 104, based on the map information of the construction target area 104 and the construction plan content information related to the planned content of the construction of the gas pipe 100. PR is an abbreviation for Public Relations.

(PR information display step S3)
Fig. 8 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the PR information display step S3 shown in Fig. 4. The PR information display step S3 is a step for displaying the contents of the PR information for each of the multiple consumers 106 on the monitor 22.

In this PR information display step S3, first, a construction company staff member selects one customer 106 for which he/she wishes to display the contents of the PR information from among the multiple customers 106 shown on the map of the construction area 104 in the construction plan image 60 described above (step S3-1).

Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the screen transition when the contents of PR information corresponding to one of multiple consumers 106 are displayed on the monitor 22. As shown in the left diagram of Figure 9, for example, by operating the mouse 26 (see Figure 3) to place the mouse pointer 72 displayed on the monitor 22 over one of the consumers 106, and then clicking the mouse 26 in this state, the one consumer 106 is selected.

When a consumer 106 is selected in step S3-1 described above, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires consumer selection information indicating that a consumer 106 has been selected (step S3-2).

Then, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) of the construction management device 10 generates the contents of the PR information corresponding to the one consumer 106 selected in the above-mentioned step S3-1 based on the consumer selection information acquired in the above-mentioned step S3-2 and the construction plan content information and map information acquired in the above-mentioned step S1-2. At this time, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) of the construction management device 10 extracts the address information of the one consumer 106 from the above-mentioned map information, and includes in the contents of the PR information a two-dimensional code 74 including the address information of the one consumer 106 and URL information of a site where the one consumer 106 can write messages. Furthermore, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) of the construction management device 10 generates display information for displaying the contents of the generated PR information on the monitor 22 (step S3-3).

Then, the control device 30 (display control unit 54) of the construction management device 10 outputs display information to the monitor 22 for displaying the contents of the promotional information on the monitor 22 (step S3-4).

Then, the monitor 22 of the construction management device 10 displays the contents of the PR information corresponding to the consumer 106 selected in step S3-1 described above based on the display information (step S3-5).

The right diagram in Figure 9 shows the contents of the promotional information displayed on the monitor 22 corresponding to one customer 106 selected in step S3-1 described above. In this way, when one customer 106 is selected from among the multiple customers 106 shown on the map of the construction area 104 in the construction plan image 60, the contents of the promotional information corresponding to that customer 106 are displayed on the monitor 22. The contents of this promotional information include, for example, "Gas construction notice," "Greetings," "Contents," "Location," "Period," "Contact information," "Notice," and a two-dimensional code 74.

Predetermined standard phrases are used for the specific contents of "Greetings" and "Contact Information". The specific contents of "Content", "Location", "Period", and "Notice" are created based on the customer selection information acquired in step S3-2 above and the PR information generated in step S2 above. The URL information included in the two-dimensional code 74 uses the URL information of a pre-specified site.

Figure 10 is a diagram showing an example of the content of PR information according to the classification of first-tier consumers 106. In Figure 10, (A) is a diagram showing an example of the content of PR information for consumers who use "city gas" but are not affected by construction, (B) is a diagram showing an example of the content of PR information for consumers who use city gas but are scheduled to have their city gas service cut off during construction, and (C) is a diagram showing an example of the content of PR information for "NOT city gas" consumers who do not use city gas but only electricity.

Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of PR information for second and third tier consumers. In Figure 11, (A) is a diagram showing an example of the contents of PR information for consumers who use "city gas" but are not affected by construction work, and (B) is a diagram showing an example of the contents of PR information for "NOT city gas" consumers who do not use city gas and only use electricity. Thus, in the PR information display step, the contents of PR information for each of the multiple consumers 106 are displayed on the monitor 22.

In addition, in the PR information generation step S2 described above, as the laying information regarding the laying positions of the gas pipes including the gas pipe 100 and other gas supply pipes and the connection status between the gas pipes and the multiple consumers 106, for example, the presence or absence of gas supply pipes other than the gas pipe 100 to the multiple consumers 106, and gas supply pipe information regarding the diameter of the gas supply pipe, etc., PR information including the content, location and period of the construction may be generated for each of the multiple consumers 106. That is, for example, for a first-layer consumer, if there is a gas supply pipe and the diameter of the gas supply pipe is 50 mm or more, as shown in FIG. 10 (A), PR information for consumers who use "city gas" but are not affected by the construction may be generated. Also, for example, for a first-layer consumer, if there is a gas supply pipe and the diameter of the gas supply pipe is less than 50 mm, PR information for consumers who use city gas but are scheduled to have their city gas stopped during the construction period may be generated, as shown in FIG. 10 (B). For example, for first-tier consumers, in the case where there is no gas supply pipe, PR information for "NOT city gas" consumers who use only electricity and do not use city gas may be generated as shown in FIG. 10(C). For example, for second-tier and third-tier consumers, in the case where there is a gas supply pipe, PR information for consumers who use "city gas" but are not affected by construction may be generated as shown in FIG. 10(A), regardless of the diameter of the gas supply pipe. For example, for second-tier and third-tier consumers, in the case where there is no gas supply pipe, PR information for "NOT city gas" consumers who use only electricity and do not use city gas may be generated as shown in FIG. 10(C).

(PR paper printing step S4)
Fig. 12 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the PR paper printing step S4 shown in Fig. 4. The PR paper printing step S4 is a step for causing the printer 28 to print a PR paper on which the contents of the PR information corresponding to one of the multiple customers 106 are described when a print request for the contents of the PR information is made to one of the multiple customers 106.

As explained in the PR information display step S3 above, when a construction company staff member selects one customer 106 for which he/she wishes to display PR information from among multiple customers 106 shown on the map of the construction area 104 in the construction plan image 60 described above, the contents of the PR information corresponding to that customer 106 are displayed on the monitor 22 (see Figure 9).

In the PR paper printing step S4, first, a person in charge at the construction company operates the mouse 26 or the like to input a print execution command to the control device 30 of the construction management device 10 (step S4-1).

Then, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires a print execution command for one of the customers 106 (step S4-2).

When the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires a print execution command for a single customer 106, the control device 30 (print control unit 56) of the construction management device 10 determines that a print request for the contents of the promotional information has been made to the single customer 106, and generates promotional paper printing information for printing the contents of the promotional information corresponding to the single customer 106 (step S4-3).

Then, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 outputs the PR paper printing information to the printer 28 of the construction management device 10 (step S4-4).

Then, the printer 28 of the construction management device 10 prints a PR paper corresponding to the above-mentioned customer 106 based on the PR paper printing information (step S4-5).

Figure 13 shows an example of a printed PR paper 80. In principle, the content of the PR paper 80 is the same as the PR information displayed on the monitor 22. In other words, the content written on the PR paper 80 includes, for example, "Gas work notice," "Greetings," "Content," "Location," "Period," "Contact information," "Contact information," and a two-dimensional code 74.

(Data storage step S5)
FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of storing in the database 32 distribution completion information indicating that distribution of the promotion paper 80 has been completed, in the data storage step S5 shown in FIG.

In this data storage step S5, first, a visitor from the construction company distributes promotional paper 80 to multiple consumers 106 (step S5-1). At this time, the visitor visits the homes of first-level consumers 106 and hands over the promotional paper 80. On the other hand, the visitor places the promotional paper 80 in mailboxes installed in the homes of second- and third-level consumers 106.

Each time the construction company's visitor distributes the promotional paper 80 to each consumer 106, the construction company's visitor inputs into the visitor terminal 12 that distribution of the promotional paper 80 is complete (step S5-2). At this time, the construction company's visitor inputs into the visitor terminal 12 the type of distribution of the promotional paper 80, i.e., whether the construction company's visitor visited the home and handed over the promotional paper 80, or whether the construction company's visitor posted the promotional paper 80 in a mailbox installed at the home. The construction company's visitor also inputs into the visitor terminal 12 that distribution of the promotional paper 80 is complete at the location of each consumer 106's home.

When an input indicating that distribution of the PR paper 80 is completed is made to the visitor terminal 12, the visitor terminal 12 acquires distribution completion information indicating that distribution of the PR paper 80 is completed (step S5-3).

When the visiting terminal 12 receives distribution completion information indicating that distribution of the PR paper 80 has been completed, the visiting terminal 12 receives location information at the time when distribution of the PR paper 80 was completed, i.e., the location information of the visiting terminal 12 when the distribution completion information was received (step S5-4). The location information is obtained, for example, using a GPS (Global Positioning System) function of the visiting terminal 12.

Then, the visiting member terminal 12 transmits distribution completion information indicating that distribution of the PR paper 80 has been completed, together with location information of the visiting member terminal 12 at the time distribution of the PR paper 80 was completed (step S5-5). The distribution completion information includes the distribution type and distribution date and time of the PR paper 80.

In this way, each time the construction company's visitor distributes the promotional paper 80 to each customer 106, distribution completion information and location information are transmitted from the visitor terminal 12, and the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires the distribution completion information and location information transmitted from the visitor terminal 12 (step S5-6).

Then, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 identifies the consumer 106 corresponding to the location information from the map information (address information) based on the acquired location information (step S5-7).

Then, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 stores the distribution completion information for the identified consumer 106 in the database 32 (step S5-8).

Figure 15 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the distribution completion information stored in the database 32. Thus, in the data storage step, each time a construction company visitor completes distribution of the PR paper 80 to each customer 106, distribution completion information indicating that distribution of the PR paper 80 to each customer 106 has been completed is stored in the database 32.

The distribution completion information includes consumer information such as the consumer's 106 name, address, and whether or not they use city gas, as well as the distribution type and distribution date and time.

Figure 16 is a sequence diagram showing the process of storing contact information regarding the contents of contacts from consumers 106 in a database during data storage step S5 shown in Figure 4.

In this data storage step S5, first, one of the multiple consumers 106 has the consumer terminal 14 read the two-dimensional code 74 printed on the PR paper 80. This causes the consumer terminal 14 to read the URL information contained in the two-dimensional code 74 and access the site corresponding to this URL information (step S5-11).

When the customer terminal 14 accesses the site, the site is displayed on the monitor 22 of the customer terminal 14. This site is managed and operated by a construction company. This site has a comment section for entering any messages to the construction company. Then, one customer 106 inputs the messages into the customer 106 terminal as necessary (step S5-12).

When the consumer 106 inputs the message, message information regarding the content of the message is sent from the consumer terminal 14 (step S5-13).

When the contact information is sent from the customer terminal 14, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires the contact information (step S5-14).

Then, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 stores the contact information for one of the multiple consumers 106 that has written the contact information in the database 32 (step S5-15).

Figure 17 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the message information stored in database 32. In this way, messages are stored in database 32 for each of multiple consumers 106.

In addition, when a construction company staff member posts a response to a message on the site, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 acquires response information regarding the content of the response, and stores the response information for one consumer 106 in the database 32.

Figure 18 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of response information stored in database 32. In this way, responses to messages are stored in database 32 for each of multiple consumers 106.

When a construction company staff member posts a response to a message on the site, the response information may be transferred to the customer terminal 14 of one customer 106, and the response may be displayed on the monitor 22 of the customer terminal 14.

(Management content display step S6)
Fig. 19 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the management content display step S6 shown in Fig. 4. This management content display step S6 is a step for displaying on the monitor 22 the contents of the information stored in the database 32 corresponding to one of the multiple customers 106 when a request for confirmation of the progress of construction is made to one of the multiple customers 106.

In this management content display step S6, first, the construction company staff selects one customer 106 for which they wish to check the progress of construction from among the multiple customers 106 shown on the map of the construction area 104 in the construction plan image 60 described above (step S6-1).

In order to distinguish the operation of selecting this one consumer 106 from the operation of displaying promotional information for the one consumer 106 described above, when a one consumer 106 is selected, a choice is displayed on the monitor 22 as to whether to display the contents of the promotional information for the one consumer 106 or to display the progress of construction work for the one consumer 106.

Then, when a consumer 106 is selected in step S6-1 described above and an option for displaying the construction progress status for the consumer 106 is selected, the control device 30 (information acquisition unit 50) of the construction management device 10 acquires consumer selection information indicating that a request for confirmation of the construction progress status has been made to the consumer 106 (step S6-2).

Then, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 acquires information corresponding to the selected consumer 106 from the database 32 based on the consumer selection information acquired in step S6-2 described above (step S6-3). This information includes promotional information, distribution completion information, contact information, and response information according to the progress of construction management.

Then, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 generates progress status information representing the progress of construction for one consumer 106 based on the information acquired in step S6-3 (step S6-4).

Then, the control device 30 (management control unit 58) of the construction management device 10 outputs the progress status information to the monitor 22 (step S6-5).

Then, the monitor 22 of the construction management device 10 displays the progress status of the construction corresponding to one customer 106 based on the progress status information (step S6-6).

Figure 20 is a diagram showing a first example of the progress of construction work corresponding to one consumer 106. In this way, the monitor 22 of the construction management device 10 specifically displays the contents of "consumer 106," "distribution status," "distribution date and time," "message," and "reply" for each of the multiple consumers 106 as the progress of construction work corresponding to one consumer 106.

If distribution of the PR paper 80 to a single consumer 106 has not been completed, the information acquired in step S6-3 does not include distribution completion information, and therefore, for example, "Not distributed" is displayed in the "Distribution status" column of the monitor 22. If no message has been received from a single consumer 106, the information acquired in step S6-3 does not include message information, and therefore, "-" is displayed in the "Message" column of the monitor 22. Similarly, if no reply has been given to a single consumer 106, the information acquired in step S6-3 does not include reply information, and therefore, "-" is displayed in the "Response" column of the monitor 22.

Figure 20 shows an example in which the construction progress status is displayed in a list for each of multiple consumers 106, but the construction progress status for each of multiple consumers 106 may also be displayed as follows.

Figure 21 is a diagram showing a second example of the progress of construction work corresponding to one customer 106. In this second example, with the construction plan image 60 displayed on the monitor 22, for example, by operating the mouse 26 (see Figure 3) to place the mouse pointer 72 displayed on the monitor 22 over the one customer 106, and in this state, by clicking the mouse 26 or the like, a request to confirm the progress of the construction work is made, and a pop-up display 82 is displayed. The progress of the construction work corresponding to the one customer 106 is then displayed in this pop-up display 82.

In this way, in the management content display step, when a request to confirm the progress of construction is made to one of the multiple consumers 106, the contents of the PR information and the status of distribution of the PR paper 80 are displayed on the monitor 22 based on the information stored in the database 32 corresponding to the one consumer 106. Also, when message information is stored in the database 32, the message is displayed on the monitor 22, and when response information is stored in the database 32, the response is displayed on the monitor 22.

Next, we will explain the operation and effects of one embodiment of the present invention.

As described above in detail, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in the construction plan image display step S1, as shown in FIG. 7, a construction plan image 60 showing the construction plan contents on a map of the construction target area 104 based on the map information and the construction plan content information is displayed on the monitor 22. Therefore, the construction plan image 60 allows the person in charge of the construction company to easily understand the contents of the construction work, and also allows the contents of the construction work to be shared among multiple people in charge.

In addition, in the construction plan image display step S1, the multiple consumers 106 are classified according to the type of use of the multiple gas pipes and whether or not they will be affected by the construction work based on the installation information regarding the installation positions of the multiple gas pipes, including the gas pipe 100 and other gas supply pipes, and the connection status between the multiple gas pipes and the multiple consumers 106, and this classification display for each of the multiple consumers 106 is included in the construction plan image 60. Therefore, this classification display allows the person in charge to easily understand the type of use of the multiple gas pipes for each of the multiple consumers 106 and whether or not they will be affected by the construction work.

In addition, in the PR information generation step S2, as shown in Figures 9 to 11, PR information including the content, location, and period of the construction work is automatically generated for each of the multiple consumers 106 residing in the construction area 104 based on map information of the construction area 104 and construction plan content information related to the planned content of the construction work. Therefore, since the content to be written on the PR paper 80 does not have to be created manually, the work efficiency when creating the content to be written on the PR paper 80 can be improved.

In addition, in the PR information display step S3, as shown in FIG. 9, when one of the multiple customers 106 shown on the map of the construction area 104 in the construction plan image 60 is selected, the contents of the PR information corresponding to this single customer 106 are displayed on the monitor 22. This allows the person in charge to easily check the contents of the PR information for each of the multiple customers 106.

In addition, in the PR information display step S3, the PR information includes a two-dimensional code 74 including the address information of the customer 106 and the URL information of a site where the customer 106 can write messages. In the PR paper printing step S4, when a print request for the PR information is made to the customer 106, the printer 28 prints a PR paper 80 containing the PR information corresponding to the customer 106, as shown in FIG. 13. Therefore, since the PR information written on the PR paper 80 includes the two-dimensional code 74, when the customer 106 has something to communicate to the construction company, the customer 106 can easily access the site for writing messages by reading the two-dimensional code 74 into the customer terminal 14. This allows the customer 106 to easily communicate messages to the construction company.

In addition, in the data storage step S5, a consumer 106 to which distribution of the PR paper 80 has been completed is identified from among a plurality of consumers 106 based on distribution completion information transmitted from the visitor terminal 12 indicating that distribution of the PR paper 80 has been completed and the location information of the terminal at the time distribution of the PR paper 80 was completed, and distribution completion information (see FIG. 15) for the identified consumer 106 is stored in the database 32. This allows the consumer 106 to which distribution of the PR paper 80 has been completed to be counted smoothly and accurately, thereby improving work efficiency when distributing the PR paper 80.

In addition, in the data storage step S5, when one of the multiple consumers 106 posts a message on the site, message information (see FIG. 17) regarding the content of the message for the one consumer 106 is stored in the database 32. This allows the message received from the one consumer 106 to be stored and managed as a record in the database 32.

Similarly, in the data storage step S5, when a construction company staff member posts a response to a message on the site, response information (see FIG. 18) regarding the content of the response for one customer 106 is stored in the database 32. This allows the response given to one customer 106 to be stored and managed as a record in the database 32.

In addition, in the management content display step S6, when a request to confirm the progress of construction is made for one of the multiple consumers 106, the contents of the PR information and the implementation status of distribution of the PR paper 80 (see Figures 20 and 21) are displayed on the monitor 22 based on the information stored in the database 32 corresponding to the one consumer 106. This allows the person in charge to easily confirm the contents of the PR information and the implementation status of distribution of the PR paper 80 for each of the multiple consumers 106.

In addition, in the management content display step S6, if message information for one consumer 106 is stored in the database 32, the message is displayed on the monitor 22, and if reply information is stored in the database 32, the reply is displayed on the monitor 22. Therefore, when the person in charge wants to check the message and reply according to the progress of the construction work, the person in charge can quickly check the message and reply.

Next, we will explain a modified version of one embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention described above, the PR paper 80 is printed by the printer 28 of the construction management device 10, and this PR paper 80 is distributed to multiple customers 106, but the construction management device 10 may also distribute the PR information to multiple customers 106 by email.

In this case, according to one embodiment of the present invention, promotional information including the content, location, and period of the construction work is automatically generated for each of the multiple consumers 106 residing in the construction area 104. Therefore, since the content of the promotional information to be included in the email does not have to be created manually, the work efficiency when creating the content of the promotional information can be improved.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and can of course be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention.
