The following embodiments generally relate to an image management system, an image management method, and a program. More specifically, the following embodiments relate to an image management system, an image management method, and a program that manage captured images of a portion of a target space.

The target space is a construction site of a building (e.g., apartment complexes, detached houses, office buildings, hospitals, factories, commercial facilities, etc.) before, during, or after construction. However, the building is not limited to a specific building. Furthermore, the embodiment described below is merely an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiment, and various modifications are possible depending on the design, etc., as long as the effects of the present disclosure can be achieved.

(1) Overview of the Image Management System In construction work such as new construction, remodeling, or renovation of a building, a part of the target space (construction site) of the building to be constructed is photographed, and the status of the building and the construction status are confirmed and inspected using the captured images. The image management system manages such captured images to assist in the confirmation and inspection of the status of the building and the construction status. In other words, the image management system assists in the confirmation and inspection associated with the construction of the building.

The image management system 1 shown in Figure 1 has the function of managing captured images of a portion of the target space of a building to assist in confirmation and inspection during construction of the building. Users such as workers and inspectors check and inspect the condition of each part of the target space before, during, or after construction.

In this embodiment, as an example, the building is an apartment building, and it is assumed that a dwelling unit in the apartment building is to be renovated. In this case, the target space TS1 shown in Figure 2 is a dwelling unit (construction site) in the apartment building, which is the construction site for the renovation. When renovating a dwelling unit, first, a current situation survey is conducted to confirm the condition of the dwelling unit before the renovation. Then, demolition work is carried out to remove unnecessary parts and equipment from the current dwelling unit, and the main renovation work is carried out. The main work includes carpentry work, equipment work, piping work, wiring work, painting work, and interior work. Once the main work is completed, a final inspection is conducted to inspect the dwelling unit after renovation.

As shown in Figure 1, the image management system 1 includes a management control unit 11 and an operation unit 12.

The operation unit 12 accepts user operations. The management control unit 11 controls the display of the display unit 13 in response to the user operations. The management control unit 11 has a screen control unit 111, a position setting unit 112, a timing setting unit 113, and a linking unit 115. The screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a recording screen B1 (see FIG. 6) including a spatial map D1 (see FIG. 3) that is a diagram of the target space TS1 and a captured image G(k) (where k is a positive integer) (see G(1) in FIG. 4) that captures a portion of the target space TS1. The position setting unit 112 sets a position within the spatial map D1 specified by the user operation as the imaging position P(n) (where n is a positive integer) of the captured image G(k). The timing setting unit 113 sets an imaging timing t(m) (where m is a positive integer) that is the timing at which the captured image G(k) is captured. The linking unit 115 links the captured image G(k), the imaging position P(n), and the imaging timing t(m) and stores them in the storage unit 15 .

The image management system 1 having the above-described configuration can easily grasp the imaging position P(n) and imaging timing t(m) of the captured image G(k).

Also, as shown in Figure 1, the image management system 1 includes a management control unit 11 and an information acquisition unit 16.

The information acquisition unit 16 acquires linking information. The linking information includes a spatial map D1 (see FIG. 3) that is a diagram of the target space TS1, data on multiple imaging positions P(n) within the spatial map D1, data on multiple imaging timings t(m), and multiple captured images G(k) captured of a portion of the target space TS1. Each of the multiple captured images G(k) is linked to one of the multiple imaging positions P(n) and one of the multiple imaging timings t(m).

The management control unit 11 includes a screen control unit 111. The screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a confirmation screen B2 (see FIG. 8) including a spatial map D1, a plurality of markers M(n) superimposed on the spatial map D1 to indicate a plurality of imaging positions P(n), and data on a plurality of imaging timings t(m). The screen control unit 111 selects at least one of the plurality of captured images G(k) as a selected image, and displays the selected image on the confirmation screen B2 in association with the imaging position P(n) linked to the selected image from the plurality of imaging positions P(n) and the imaging timing linked to the selected image from the plurality of imaging timings t(m).

The image management system 1 having the above-described configuration can easily grasp the imaging position P(n) and imaging timing t(m) of the captured image G(k).

1, the image management system 1 includes a management control unit 11, an operation unit 12, and an information acquisition unit 16. Preferably, the image management system 1 further includes at least one of a display unit 13, an imaging unit 14, a storage unit 15, and a communication unit 17.

The image management system 1 preferably includes a computer system. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the image management system 1 is configured with a tablet terminal 10 having a computer system. In this case, user H1 can carry the tablet terminal 10 and use the image management system 1 in the target space TS1, which is the construction site.

In the computer system of the image management system 1, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (Micro Processing Unit) reads and executes the inspection support method program stored in memory, thereby realizing some or all of the functions of the image management system 1. The computer system's main hardware configuration is a processor that operates according to the program. The type of processor is not important as long as it can realize the functions by executing the program. The processor is composed of one or more electronic circuits, including a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) or an LSI (Large Scale Integration). While ICs and LSIs are used here, the names may vary depending on the degree of integration, and may also be called system LSIs, VLSIs (Very Large Scale Integration), or ULSIs (Ultra Large Scale Integration). Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are programmed after the LSI is manufactured, or reconfigurable logic devices that can reconfigure the connections within the LSI or set up circuit partitions within the LSI, can also be used for the same purpose. Multiple electronic circuits may be integrated on a single chip or on multiple chips. The plurality of chips may be integrated into one device, or may be provided in a plurality of devices.

(2.1) Operation Unit The operation unit 12 is a user interface device that accepts operations (user operations) by the user H1. For example, the operation unit 12 includes at least one of a touch panel, a keyboard, and a mouse that accept operations by the user H1's hands (manual operations), and a microphone that accepts operations by the user's voice (voice operations).

When the operation unit 12 receives a user operation, it outputs an operation signal corresponding to the user operation to the management control unit 11, the display unit 13, and the imaging unit 14. The management control unit 11, the display unit 13, and the imaging unit 14 perform processing corresponding to the operation signal.

If the operation unit 12 has a touch panel that accepts manual operations, user operations on the touch panel include, for example, tap, double tap, long tap, drag, swipe, flick, pinch in, and pinch out.

If the operation unit 12 has a microphone that accepts voice operation, the operation unit 12 performs voice recognition processing on the microphone output to generate an operation signal corresponding to the voice uttered by user H1.

(2.2) Display Unit The display unit 13 is a display device using an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), and has a screen for displaying images. The display unit 13 is controlled by the screen control unit 111 of the management control unit 11. Note that the display unit 13 may be a standalone display device other than a display device provided in the tablet terminal 10 used by the user.

In addition, the touch panel display may perform the functions of both the operation unit 12 and the display unit 13.

(2.3) Imaging Unit The imaging unit 14 functions as a camera that captures a color or monochrome image (still image) and generates data of the captured image G(k). The imaging unit 14 stores the data of the captured image G(k) in the storage unit 15.

(2.4) Storage Unit The storage unit 15 stores the spatial map D1, the captured image G(k), the imaging position P(n), and the imaging timing t(m). Furthermore, the storage unit 15 also stores linking information linking the captured image G(k), the imaging position P(n), and the imaging timing t(m).

It is preferable that the memory unit 15 has a rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) or flash memory.

(2.5) Information Acquisition Unit The information acquisition unit 16 has the function of reading (acquiring) the spatial map D1, the captured image G(k), the imaging position P(n), and the imaging timing t(m), as well as the linking information, from the storage unit 15, and handing them over to the management control unit 11.

(2.6) Communication Unit The communication unit 17 exchanges data with an external system by performing wired or wireless communication with the external system. The wired communication is, for example, wired communication via a twisted pair cable, a dedicated communication line, or a LAN (Local Area Network) cable. The wireless communication is, for example, wireless communication conforming to standards such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or low-power wireless (specified low-power wireless) that does not require a license.

Specifically, the communication unit 17 acquires data for the space map D1 from an external system. For example, the communication unit 17 acquires data for the space map D1, which is a diagram of the target space TS1, from an external CAD system or external server, and stores the data for the space map D1 in the storage unit 15. Note that the space map D1 in this embodiment is a floor plan of the dwelling unit shown in Figure 3.

(2.7) Management Control Unit The management control unit 11 includes a screen control unit 111 , a position setting unit 112 , a timing setting unit 113 , a comment acquisition unit 114 , and a linking unit 115 .

The management control unit 11 has two operating modes: recording mode and confirmation mode. User H1 can switch the operating mode of the management control unit 11 to either recording mode or confirmation mode by operating the operation unit 12.

When the operating mode is the recording mode, the management control unit 11 operates as follows. The screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a recording screen B1 (see Figure 6) including a spatial map D1 and a captured image G(k). The position setting unit 112 sets a position within the spatial map D1 specified by user operation of the operation unit 12 as the imaging position P(n) of the captured image G(k). The timing setting unit 113 sets the imaging timing t(m), which is the timing at which the captured image G(k) was captured. The linking unit 115 links the captured image G(k), the imaging position P(n), and the imaging timing t(m) and stores them in the memory unit 15.

When the operation mode is confirmation mode, the management control unit 11 operates as follows. The information acquisition unit 16 acquires linking information from the memory unit 15. The screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a confirmation screen B2 (see FIG. 8) including a spatial map D1, multiple markers M(n) superimposed on the spatial map D1 to indicate multiple imaging positions P(n), and data on multiple imaging timings t(m). The screen control unit 111 selects at least one of the multiple captured images G(k) as a selected image, and displays the selected image on the confirmation screen B2 in association with the imaging position P(n) linked to the selected image from the multiple imaging positions P(n) and the imaging timing from the multiple imaging timings t(m).

(3) Operation of the Image Management System User H1 goes to the target space TS1 (the dwelling unit that will be the renovation construction site) and captures images of each part of the target space TS1 using the imaging unit 14. The objects to be captured include the walls, floors, ceilings, pillars, equipment, and facilities of the target space TS1. The imaging unit 14 then stores data of the captured images G(k) of each part of the target space TS1 in the storage unit 15.

User H1 captures images of each part of the target space TS1 multiple times at different times during the renovation construction period. Specifically, user H1 performs confirmations and inspections associated with the construction by capturing images of each part of the target space TS1 during each process, such as the current status survey, demolition work, main construction, and completion inspection.

As described above, the image management system 1 manages the captured images G(k) generated during each process, such as the current status survey, demolition work, main work, and completion inspection. The image management system 1 operates according to the operating mode (recording mode and confirmation mode) of the management control unit 11. Below, we will explain the operation of the image management system 1 when the operating mode of the management control unit 11 is recording mode, and the operation of the image management system 1 when the operating mode is confirmation mode.

(3.1) Recording mode User H1 carrying the tablet terminal 10 goes to the target space TS1 during each process such as current status survey, demolition work, main work, and completion inspection, switches the operation mode of the management control unit 11 to recording mode, and uses the imaging unit 14 to capture an image of the imaging target that is part of the target space TS1.

For example, user H1 switches the operation mode of the management control unit 11 to recording mode, captures an image of the emergency light on the ceiling of the entrance to the target space TS1 during the current situation survey process, and the imaging unit 14 generates data for the captured image G(1) shown in Figure 4. Then, in recording mode, the image management system 1 executes the image management method shown in the flowchart of Figure 5. It is preferable that the following image management method be executed by the computer system of the image management system 1 executing a program.

The image management method in recording mode includes a screen control step S1, a timing setting step S2, a position setting step S3, a comment setting step S4, and a linking step S5.

(Screen control step)
First, in the screen control step S1, the screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a rectangular recording screen B1 shown in FIG.

The input area SP11 is located at the top of the recording screen B1. The input area SP11 includes pull-down menus U1 and U2 and a tab menu U4 as user interface (UI) elements that accept user operations.

Pull-down menu U1 is a UI element for selecting the test type.

The pull-down menu U2 is a UI element for selecting the imaging timing t(m) on the recording screen B1. In this embodiment, the multiple imaging timings t(m) include imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4) corresponding to the processes of "current situation survey," "demolition work," "main work," and "completion inspection." Imaging timing t(1) corresponds to "current situation survey." Imaging timing t(2) corresponds to "demolition work." Imaging timing t(3) corresponds to "main work." Imaging timing t(4) corresponds to "completion inspection." User H1 selects imaging timing t(m) on the recording screen B1 by selecting one of imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), or t(4) on the pull-down menu U2. That is, the pull-down menu U2 presents the user H1 with multiple imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4), including "Current Status Survey," "Demolition Work," "Main Work," and "Completion Inspection." The user H1 selects one of the multiple imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4) as the imaging timing t(m) for the captured image G(k). Typically, the pull-down menu U2 displays the selected imaging timing t(m) from the multiple imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4). The display of the pull-down menu U2 is linked to the tab menu U11, which will be described later. When the imaging timing t(m) is switched using the tab menu U11, the imaging timing t(m) selected using the tab menu U11 is displayed.

The tab menu U4 is a UI element for selecting the operation mode, and has an inspection tab U4a and a list tab U4b. When the inspection tab U4a is selected, the operation mode of the management control unit 11 becomes recording mode. When the list tab U4b is selected, the operation mode of the management control unit 11 becomes confirmation mode. On the recording screen B1, the inspection tab U4a is selected, and the management control unit 11 sets the operation mode to recording mode.

On the recording screen B1, a space diagram D1, which is a floor plan of the target space TS1, is located on the left side below the input area SP11.

On the recording screen B1, the captured image G(1) and input area SP12 are located below and to the right of the input area SP11.

The input area SP12 includes a tab menu U11, buttons U12 and U13, and a text box U14 as UI elements that accept user operations. In the input area SP12, the tab menu U11, buttons U12 and U13, and text box U14 are arranged in this order from top to bottom of the recording screen B1. The captured image G(1) is positioned between the tab menu U11 and buttons U12 and U13.

The tab menu U11 is a UI element for selecting timing and corresponds to a timing setting image for setting the imaging timing t(m). The tab menu U11, which is a timing setting image, has tabs U11a, U11b, U11c, and U11d. Tabs U11a, U11b, U11c, and U11d each correspond to a candidate timing image corresponding to a predetermined number of candidate timings. Tab U11a is a candidate timing image for imaging timing t(1): "Current Status Survey." Tab U11b is a candidate timing image for imaging timing t(2): "Demolition Work." Tab U11c is a candidate timing image for imaging timing t(3): "Main Work." Tab U11d is a candidate timing image for imaging timing t(4): "Completion Inspection."

The timing setting unit 113 then sets the candidate timing corresponding to one of tabs U11a, U11b, U11c, and U11d selected by user operation of the operation unit 12 as imaging timing t(m). That is, when tab U11a is selected, the timing setting unit 113 sets imaging timing t(1) as imaging timing t(m). When tab U11b is selected, the timing setting unit 113 sets imaging timing t(2) as imaging timing t(m). When tab U11c is selected, the timing setting unit 113 sets imaging timing t(3) as imaging timing t(m). When tab U11d is selected, the timing setting unit 113 sets imaging timing t(4) as imaging timing t(m).

On the recording screen B1, only the tab U11a, U11b, U11c, and U11d selected by user operation of the operation unit 12 is displayed in inverted. On the recording screen B1 in FIG. 6, the tab U11a corresponding to the imaging timing t(1) is selected. Therefore, of the tabs U11a, U11b, U11c, and U11d, only the tab U11a is displayed in inverted. Note that the display of the tab menu U11 is linked to the pull-down menu U2, and when the imaging timing t(m) is switched using the pull-down menu U2, only the tab U11a, U11b, U11c, and U11d corresponding to the imaging timing t(m) selected using the pull-down menu U2 is displayed inverted.

The button U12 is a UI element for selecting either the manual operation mode or the voice operation mode as the operation mode of the operation unit 12. When the manual operation mode is selected as the operation mode of the operation unit 12, the operation unit 12 accepts manual operations by the user H1 using the touch panel, keyboard, mouse, etc. When the voice operation mode is selected as the operation mode of the operation unit 12, the operation unit 12 accepts voice operations by the user H1 using the microphone.

Button U13 is a UI element that accepts a user operation to instruct the operation unit 12 to start voice recognition processing when the voice operation mode is selected as the operation mode of the operation unit 12. In other words, the operation unit 12 starts voice recognition processing when a voice is uttered within a certain period of time after button U13 is pressed.

The text box U14 is a UI element for inputting comments from user H1. The comments are comments about the imaging position P(n) and captured image G(k) set on the recording screen B1. The comments input into the text box U14 in Figure 6 are comments about the imaging position P(1) and captured image G(1). The text box U14 has four boxes for inputting four items: "Area," "Part," "Object," and "Special Notes." The name of the area within the target space TS1 (entrance in Figure 6) is input into "Area." The name of the part within the area (ceiling in Figure 6) is input into "Part." The name of the equipment, facilities, and defective parts within the part (emergency light in Figure 6) is input into "Object." A comment other than "Area," "Part," or "Object" (replacement in Figure 6) is input into "Special Notes."

The voice operation mode of the operation unit 12 described above is enabled when entering a comment into the text box U14. In other words, by enabling voice operation when manual operation is difficult, such as when user H1 is wearing gloves or when both hands are occupied, user H1 can easily enter a comment into the text box U14.

Captured image G(1) is located below tab menu U11.

(Timing setting step)
Next, in a timing setting step S2, the timing setting unit 113 sets the image capturing timing t(m), which is the timing at which the captured image G(1) is captured.

In FIG. 6, user H1 selects imaging timing t(1) in pull-down menu U2 or tab menu U11 as the imaging timing for captured image G(1). The timing setting unit 113 sets the imaging timing t(1) selected in pull-down menu U2 or tab menu U11 as the imaging timing for captured image G(1). Then, on recording screen B1, only tab U11a of the tab menu U11 in input area SP12 is displayed inverted, allowing user H1 to visually recognize that imaging timing t(1) has been set on recording screen B1.

In addition, user H1 operates the operation unit 12 to perform input operations on not only the pull-down menu U2 in the input area SP11, but also on each item in the pull-down menu U1 and tab menu U4. The management control unit 11 performs settings in response to each input operation on the pull-down menu U1 and tab menu U4.

(Position setting step)
Next, in a position setting step S3, the position setting unit 112 sets the position in the spatial diagram D1 specified by a user operation of the operation unit 12 as the imaging position P(n) of the captured image G(k). Then, when the position setting unit 112 sets the imaging position P(n), the screen control unit 111 superimposes a marker M(n) indicating the imaging position P(n) on the spatial diagram D1 of the recording screen B1.

The marker M(n) in Figure 6 is shaped like a water drop with an identification number n displayed inside. In this case, the identification number n corresponds to the identification information of the marker M(n). In other words, the screen control unit 111 sets the display form of the marker M(n) to a display form that corresponds to the identification number n of the marker M(n). Therefore, the user H1 can easily identify the marker M(n). Note that the display form of the marker M(n) may be a different color or shape for each identification number n of the marker M(n).

Specifically, in FIG. 6, user H1 uses a finger or a pen to designate a point in the spatial map D1 displayed on the recording screen B1 as the imaging position P(1) of the captured image G(1). The position setting unit 112 sets the point in the spatial map D1 designated by user H1 as the imaging position P(1) of the captured image G(1). Then, when the position setting unit 112 sets the imaging position P(1), the screen control unit 111 superimposes a marker M(1) indicating the imaging position P(1) on the spatial map D1 of the recording screen B1. While the marker M(1) in FIG. 6 is shaped like a water droplet, the marker may be of other shapes, such as a circle or a rectangle.

(Comment setting step)
Next, in a comment setting step S4, the comment acquisition unit 114 acquires comment information corresponding to the captured image G(k).

Specifically, in Figure 6, user H1 inputs comment information corresponding to captured image G(1) and captured position P(1) into text box U14 by user operation of operation unit 12. Comment input can be done either manually or by voice as described above. In Figure 6, "entrance" is input as "area," "ceiling" is input as "location," and "emergency light" is input as "object." In other words, captured image G(1) is an image of the emergency light on the ceiling of the entrance to target space TS1.

(Linking step)
Next, in a linking step S5, the linking unit 115 stores in the storage unit 15 linking information linking the captured image G(k), the imaging position P(n), the imaging timing t(m), and the comment information.

In Figure 6, the linking unit 115 stores linking information in the memory unit 15 that links the captured image G(1), the imaging position P(1), the imaging timing t(1), and the comment information in the text box U14.

(Linking information)
The image management system 1 then repeatedly executes the above-described screen control step S1, timing setting step S2, position setting step S3, comment setting step S4, and linking step S5. As a result, the image management system 1 can store in the storage unit 15 linking information linking each of the multiple captured images G(k) with the imaging position P(n), imaging timing t(m), and comment information.

Therefore, by storing the linking information in the memory unit 15, the image management system 1 can easily grasp the imaging position P(n) and imaging timing t(m) of the captured image G(k). Furthermore, by including comment information regarding the imaging position P(n) in the linking information, the image management system 1 can also easily grasp related comments.

(3.2) Confirmation Mode After user H1 stores the linking information in the storage unit 15 in the above-described recording mode, the operation mode of the management control unit 11 is switched to confirmation mode. Then, in confirmation mode, the image management system 1 executes the image management method shown in the flowchart of Fig. 7 to display the captured image G(k) in association with the imaging position P(n) and the imaging timing t(m). Note that it is preferable that the computer system of the image management system 1 executes a program to execute the following image management method.

The image management method in confirmation mode includes an information acquisition step S11 and a display control step S12.

(Information acquisition step)
First, in information acquisition step S11, the information acquisition unit 16 reads and acquires the linking information from the storage unit 15. The linking information is information in which the imaging position P(n), imaging timing t(m), and comment information are linked to each of the multiple captured images G(k).

(Display control step)
Next, in the display control step S12, the screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a rectangular confirmation screen B2 shown in FIG.

The confirmation screen B2 in Figure 8 displays the spatial map D1, the captured images G(1), G(2), and G(4) linked to the imaging position P(1) within the spatial map D1, and comment information linked to each of the captured images G(1), G(2), and G(4).

At the top of the confirmation screen B2, an input area SP11 is located, similar to the recording screen B1. The input area SP11 includes pull-down menus U1 and U2 and a tab menu U4. In the tab menu U4 of the confirmation screen B2, the list tab U4b is selected, and the management control unit 11 sets the operation mode to confirmation mode.

On the confirmation screen B2, a space diagram D1, which is a floor plan of the target space TS1, is located on the left side below the input area SP11.

On the confirmation screen B2, below the input area SP11 and to the right, there is a display area SP20 where the display based on the linking information is displayed. The display area SP20 includes display images R21 and R22, a button U21, a display area SP21(m), and a captured image G(k).

Display images R21, R22, and button U21 are aligned horizontally at the top of display area SP20. Display image R21 is an image displaying the identification number "1" of marker M(1) corresponding to imaging position P(1). Display image R22 is a text image displaying the comment information entered for each of the "area," "body part," and "object" fields among the comment information linked to imaging position P(1). Button U21 is a UI element for switching between confirmation screen B2 and list screen B3, which will be described later.

Each display area SP21(m) is rectangular and is positioned vertically below display images R21, R22, and button U21. Display area SP21(m) corresponds to imaging timing t(m) and includes display images R23, R24, and captured image G(k). Display image R23 is an image indicating imaging timing t(m). Display image R24 is comment information entered in "Special Notes" among the comment information linked to captured image G(k) in display area SP21(m), and text indicating the date and time of capture of captured image G(k). Captured image G(k) in display area SP21(m) is a captured image linked to imaging timing t(m) corresponding to display area SP21(m) among the multiple captured images G(k) linked to imaging position P(1). That is, the captured image G(k) in the display region SP21(m) is linked to the imaging position P(n) and the imaging timing t(m).

The confirmation screen B2 in Figure 8 has four display areas SP21(m): SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4).

Display area SP21(1) corresponds to imaging timing t(1). Specifically, display area SP21(1) includes a display image R23 indicating imaging timing t(1), a captured image G(1) linked to imaging position P(1) and imaging timing t(1), and a display image R24 of comment information "Special Notes" linked to captured image G(1).

Display area SP21(2) corresponds to imaging timing t(2). Specifically, display area SP21(2) includes a display image R23 indicating imaging timing t(2), a captured image G(2) linked to imaging position P(1) and imaging timing t(2), and a display image R24 of comment information "Special Notes" linked to captured image G(2).

Display area SP21(3) corresponds to imaging timing t(3). Here, since there is no captured image associated with imaging position P(1) and imaging timing t(3), display area SP21(3) is blank.

Display area SP21(4) corresponds to imaging timing t(4). Specifically, display area SP21(4) includes a display image R23 indicating imaging timing t(4), a captured image G(4) linked to imaging position P(1) and imaging timing t(4), and a display image R24 of comment information "Special Notes" linked to captured image G(4).

That is, on the confirmation screen B2, the screen control unit 111 selects captured images G(1), G(2), and G(3) from among the multiple captured images G(k). Then, on the confirmation screen B2, the screen control unit 111 displays each of the selected captured images G(1), G(2), and G(3) in association with the imaging position P(1) linked to the captured images G(1), G(2), and G(3) from among the multiple imaging positions P(n), and the imaging timings t(1), t(2), and t(4) linked to the captured images G(1), G(2), and G(3) from among the multiple imaging timings t(m).

In the confirmation screen B2 of FIG. 8, the display areas SP21(1) corresponding to imaging timing t(1), SP21(2) corresponding to imaging timing t(2), SP21(3) corresponding to imaging timing t(3), and SP21(4) corresponding to imaging timing t(4) are arranged from top to bottom. That is, in the confirmation screen B2, the display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4) are arranged in a single direction from top to bottom in the order of construction of each process, such as the current status survey, demolition work, main construction, and completion inspection. In other words, the confirmation screen B2 arranges the display areas SP21(m) corresponding to imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4) in a single direction (vertical direction). As a result, the screen control unit 111 can display information based on the linking information for each imaging timing t(m).

Here, it is preferable that the screen control unit 111 initially sets the state in which multiple display areas SP21(m) are arranged in chronological order. Specifically, on the confirmation screen B2 of Figure 8, the initial setting for the arrangement order of display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4) is the order of construction of each process, such as current status survey, demolition work, main work, and completion inspection, and the order is as follows: display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4).

The screen control unit 111 preferably changes the arrangement order of the multiple display areas SP21(m) through user operation of the operation unit 12. Specifically, on the confirmation screen B2 of Figure 8, user H1 can change the arrangement order of the display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4) through user operation of the operation unit 12. Therefore, the screen control unit 111 can flexibly change the display format of the confirmation screen B2 in accordance with the requests of user H1.

It is also preferable that the screen control unit 111 sets the arrangement order based on order information that specifies the arrangement order of the display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4). When the screen control unit 111 changes the arrangement order, it updates the order information to specify the changed arrangement order. That is, the screen control unit 111 arranges the display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4) in the latest arrangement order updated by user H1. Therefore, the screen control unit 111 can reflect the updated results in the arrangement order of the display areas SP21(1), SP21(2), SP21(3), and SP21(4) on the confirmation screen B2.

When user H1 presses button U21 on the confirmation screen B2, the screen control unit 111 switches the image displayed on the display unit 13 from the confirmation screen B2 shown in Figure 8 to the list screen B3 shown in Figure 9. The list screen B3 includes multiple position images R31(n) corresponding to each of the multiple imaging positions P(n).

At the top of the list screen B3, an input area SP11 is located, similar to the record screen B1. The input area SP11 includes pull-down menus U1 and U2 and a tab menu U4. In the tab menu U4 of the list screen B3, the list tab U4b is selected, and the management control unit 11 sets the operation mode to confirmation mode.

On the list screen B3, a space diagram D1, which is a floor plan of the target space TS1, is located on the left side below the input area SP11.

On the list screen B3, multiple rectangular position images R31(n) are positioned vertically on the right side below the input area SP11. Each position image R31(n) has multiple timing images R32(m) and display images R33 and R34.

The display image R33 of the position image R31(n) is an image that displays the identification number "n" of the marker M(n) corresponding to the imaging position P(n).

The display image R34 of the position image R31(n) is a text image that displays the comment information entered for each of the "area," "part," and "object" fields among the comment information linked to the imaging position P(n).

Each of the multiple timing images R32(m) is approximately oval in shape. In the list screen B3, the multiple timing images R32(m) are four timing images R32(1), R32(2), R32(3), and R32(4). The four timing images R32(1), R32(2), R32(3), and R32(4) are arranged from left to right in the order R32(1), R32(2), R32(3), and R32(4). Timing image R32(1) corresponds to imaging timing t(1). Timing image R32(2) corresponds to imaging timing t(2). Timing image R32(3) corresponds to imaging timing t(3). Timing image R32(4) corresponds to imaging timing t(4).

The screen control unit 111 preferably displays timing images R32(1), R32(2), R32(3), and R32(4) corresponding to imaging timings associated with captured image G(k) differently from timing images corresponding to imaging timings not associated with captured image G(k). Specifically, timing image R32(m) of position image R31(n) is highlighted if there is a captured image G(k) associated with imaging position R(n) and imaging timing t(m), and is displayed normally if there is no captured image G(k) associated with imaging position R(n) and imaging timing t(m). Therefore, by viewing the list screen B3, user H1 can visually recognize whether there is a captured image G(k) at imaging position P(n) at each of the four imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4).

Then, when the display unit 13 is displaying the list screen B3, the screen control unit 111 selects at least one captured image G(k) that is linked to the capturing position P(n) corresponding to the position image R31(n) selected by user operation of the operation unit 12 from among the multiple position images R31(n), as the selected image.

Specifically, on the list screen B3 of FIG. 9 , four position images R31(1), R31(2), R31(3), and R31(4) are positioned vertically. Position image R31(1) corresponds to imaging position P(1). Position image R31(2) corresponds to imaging position P(2). Position image R31(3) corresponds to imaging position P(3). Position image R31(4) corresponds to imaging position P(4). For example, when button U21 of position image R31(1) is pressed, the screen control unit 111 unfolds position image R31(1) and displays confirmation screen B2 of FIG. 8 on the display unit 13. When button U21 of position image R31(2) is pressed, the screen control unit 111 unfolds position image R31(2) and displays a confirmation screen including image G(k) captured at imaging position P(2) on the display unit 13. When the button U21 of the position image R31(3) is pressed, the screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a confirmation screen including the captured image G(k) at the imaging position P(3). When the button U21 of the position image R31(4) is pressed, the screen control unit 111 causes the display unit 13 to display a confirmation screen including the captured image G(k) at the imaging position P(4).

(4) First Modification It is preferable that the management control unit 11 of the image management system 1 further includes a form creation unit 116 shown in FIG.

The form creation unit 116 creates form data that includes at least one captured image G(k) from among the multiple captured images G(k) stored in the memory unit 15. Examples of forms include inspection reports, electronic deliverables, and contact slips. For example, the form creation unit 116 sorts two or more captured images G(k) and creates form data that includes the captured images G(k) arranged in sorted order.

The report data created by the report creation unit 116 is displayed on the display unit 13 or transmitted to an external system via the communication unit 17.

(5) Second Modification The image management system 1 is not limited to being configured with a tablet terminal 10. The image management system 1 may be configured in such a way that each unit is distributed across multiple devices. For example, the image management system 1 may be configured with a tablet terminal and an external server. The image management system 1 may be configured with a camera device and a personal computer. The image management system 1 may also be configured with a camera device, a personal computer, and an external server. In other words, the specific configuration of the image management system 1 is not limited to a specific configuration as long as the configuration of FIG. 1 or 10 can be realized. Specifically, the memory unit 15 may be provided in an external server. The imaging unit 14 may be a standalone camera device. Alternatively, a tablet terminal may operate in the recording mode described above at a construction site to create linking information, and a personal computer may operate in the confirmation mode described above at an office or the like to create the confirmation screen B2, list screen B3, and forms, etc.

The identification information of the marker M(n) is not limited to being set as positive integers in ascending order. The identification information of the marker M(n) may be set as, for example, letters, symbols, or real numbers.

The imaging timing t(m) may be other than the imaging timings t(1), t(2), t(3), and t(4) corresponding to the processes of "Current Status Survey," "Demolition Work," "Main Work," and "Completion Inspection." In other words, the imaging timing t(m) is set appropriately depending on the construction content at the construction site.
