Image Data Recording Method, Method of Recording Finished Work by Image Data, Image Data Recording Apparatus, and Finished Work Recording System Using Image Data

A method of recording a finished work using image data by obtaining a subject to be worked and the contents of the work performed to the subject to be worked as a work recording image, including:

• attaching an identification tag, to which inherent information is recorded, to each of the subject to be worked and a work recording worker;
• comparing the time difference between the time at which the tag data recorded to the identification tags are read and the time at which the image data of the subject to be worked is obtained with a preset specified time to determine whether or not the tag data are true to the image data of the subject to be worked;
• and
• recording a finished work.

A method of recording a finished work using image data by obtaining a subject to be worked and the contents of the work to the subject to be worked as a work recording image, including:

• attaching an identification tag, to which inherent information is recorded, to each of the subject to be worked and a work recording worker;
• obtaining position information when tag data recorded in the identification tag and position information when image data of the subject to be worked is obtained;
• comparing a difference between the distances at which both the tag data and the image data are obtained to determine whether or not the tag data are true to the image data of the subject to be worked;
• and
• recording a finished work.

An image data recording apparatus, including:

• image pickup means;
• identification tag reading means;
• time measuring means for obtaining the time at which image data is obtained by the image pickup means and the time at which a tag data reading time is obtained by the identification tag reading means;
• and
• an arithmetic operation unit for determining a time difference from both the times obtained by the time measuring means, comparing the determined time difference with a preset specified time;
• and associating the image data with the tag data when a result obtained by the comparison is within the specified time.

An image data recording apparatus, including:

• image pickup means;
• identification tag reading means;
• position measuring means for obtaining position information when image data is obtained by the image pickup means and position information when tag data is read by the identification tag reading means;
• and
• an arithmetic operation unit for determining a distance when position information is obtained from both the position informations obtained by the position measuring means, comparing the determined distance with a preset specified distance, and associating the image data with the tag data when a result obtained by the comparison is within the range of the specified distance.

A finished work recording system using image data, including:

• an identification tag attached to each of a subject to be worked and a work recording worker;
• a server having a database that stores the subject to be worked associated with identification information recorded in the identification tag and information of the work recording worker;
• and
• a recording terminal including:
• identification tag reading means for reading at least tag information recorded in the identification tag;
• image pickup means for obtaining image data of the subject to be worked;
• time measuring means for measuring the time at which the tag data is read by the tag data reading means and the time at which the image data is obtained by the image pickup means or/and position measuring means for obtaining position information when the tag data is read and position information when the image data is obtained;
• communication means for reading out the information stored in the database of the server;
• and arithmetic operation means for determining a time difference between the time at which the image data is obtained and the time at which the tag data is read or and a distance between the position where the image data is obtained and the position where the tag data is read, determining whether or not the time difference is within a preset specified time or/and whether or not the distance is within a preset specified distance by comparing the time difference or/and the distance with the preset specified time or/and the preset specified distance, reading out the information associated with the tag data from the database and associating the information with the image data to store the information when the time difference is within the specified time or/and when the distance is within the range of the specified distance, and deleting the obtained image data and the read tag data when the time difference is outside of the specified time or/and when the distance is outside of the range of the specified distance.
