Abstract

A work management system ( 1 ) includes: an image capturing device ( 20 ) worn by a worker; and a server device ( 60 ). The image capturing device ( 20 ) includes: an image capturing section ( 21 ) for capturing an image of a work range of the worker; and a communication section ( 30 ) for transmitting, to the server device ( 60 ), at least one of (i) the image captured by the image capturing section ( 21 ) and (ii) generated information generated in accordance with the image. The server device ( 60 ) includes a control section ( 70 ) for managing the at least one of the image and the generated information which one is received from the communication section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A work management system comprising:
an image capturing device worn by a worker; a server device; and an input information storing section, the image capturing device including:
an image capturing section for capturing an image of a work range of the worker;
a multidimensional code recognizing section for recognizing multidimensional codes contained in the image captured by the image capturing section;
an input support information storing section in which first input support information or second input support information is stored, the first input support information being information in which a combination J of multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to a check item and a check result is associated with a check result registration instruction serving as input information and including check item identification information, which identifies the check item, and check result information indicative of the check result, the second input support information being information in which a combination of multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to the check item is associated with an algorithm in accordance with which (i) the check result information indicative of the check result is generated and (ii) the check result registration instruction, including the check result information thus generated and the check item identification information that identifies the check item, is set as the input information;
an input information determining section for determining the input information in accordance with (a) a combination of the multidimensional codes recognized by the multidimensional code recognizing section and (b) the first or second input support information; and
a communication section for transmitting, to the server device, the input information determined by the input information determining section,
the server device including:
a management section for accumulating, in the input information storing section, the check item identification information and the check result information, each of which is included in the check result registration instruction received from the communication section, in association with each other.

2 . The work management system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
the input support information storing section stores therein input support information J in which the combination J of the multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to the check item and the check result is associated with the check result registration instruction including the check item identification information, which identifies the check item, and the check result information indicative of the check result; the input support information J is arranged such that the combination J is also associated with an algorithm in accordance with which (i) a current time is set as a check time and (ii) the check time is included in the check result registration instruction; and the management section accumulates, in the input information storing section, the check item identification information, the check result information, and the check time, each of which is included in the check result registration instruction received from the communication section, in association with each other.

3 . The work management system as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:
a sound input device which is worn by the worker, wherein: the input support information storing section stores therein, for the check item with respect to which a check is carried out by use of the sound input device, input support information K in which the combination of the multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to the check item is associated with an algorithm in accordance with which (i) the check result information indicative of the check result is generated in accordance with a sound inputted in the sound input device and (ii) the check result registration instruction, including the check result information thus generated and the check item identification information that identifies the check item, is set as the input information.

4 . The work management system as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the sound input device is integrated with the image capturing device.

5 . The work management system as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:
a movement detecting device for detecting a movement of the worker, the movement detecting device being worn by the worker, wherein: the input support information storing section stores therein, for the check item with respect to which a check is carried out by use of the movement detecting device, input support information L in which the combination of the multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to the check item is associated with an algorithm in accordance with which (i) the check result information indicative of the check result is generated in accordance with the movement detected by the movement detecting device and (ii) the check result registration instruction, including the check result information thus generated and the check item identification information that identifies the check item, is set as the input information.

6 . The work management system as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the movement detecting device is integrated with the image capturing device.

7 . The work management system as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the movement detecting device is an acceleration sensor.

8 . The work management system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
the input support information storing section stores therein, for the check item with respect to which a check is carried out by use of a measuring device, input support information M in which the combination of the multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to the check item is associated with an algorithm M in accordance with which (i) the check result information indicative of the check result is generated in accordance with an measuring device image included in the image captured by the image capturing section and (ii) the check result registration instruction, including the check result information thus generated and the check item identification information that identifies the check item, is set as the input information.

9 . The work management system as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the algorithm M is an algorithm in accordance with which (i) a numeral in the measuring device image is read by character recognition and (ii) the check result information is generated in accordance with the numeral thus read.

10 . The work management system as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the algorithm M is an algorithm in accordance with which the check result information is generated in accordance with a position of a pointer in the measuring device image.

11 . The work management system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the image capturing device is worn on the worker's head.

12 . The work management system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the image capturing device is a glasses-type image capturing device.

13 . A method of managing a work management system,
the work management system including: an image capturing device worn by a worker; a server device; and an input information storing section, the image capturing device including:
an image capturing section for capturing an image of a work range of the worker; and
an input support information storing section in which first input support information or second input support information is stored, the first input support information being information in which a combination J of multidimensional codes which combination corresponds to a check
