Fabrication equipment monitoring device and monitoring method

A fabrication equipment monitoring device which monitors, by a server and a portable terminal capable of communicating with the server, a fabrication equipment located inside a factory,

• wherein the portable terminal includes a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire location information about a current location of the portable terminal, a layout information acquisition unit configured to acquire layout information of the fabrication equipment, an image capture element, a direction detection unit configured to detect a direction where the image capture element is directed, and a display unit, and
• the server includes a storage unit configured to store fabrication equipment information about the fabrication equipment inside the factory, and
• wherein, when the image capture element is directed toward the fabrication equipment, the fabrication equipment toward which the image capture element is directed is specified based on the location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit, the direction information detected by the direction detection unit, an angle of view of the image capture element, and the layout information,
• the fabrication equipment information of the specified fabrication equipment is extracted from the storage unit, and
• at least a portion of the extracted fabrication equipment information is displayed on the display unit.

A fabrication equipment monitoring method which monitors, by a server and a portable terminal capable of communicating with the server, a fabrication equipment located inside a factory and including at least a plurality of fabrication devices,

• wherein the portable terminal includes a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire location information about a current location of the portable terminal, an image capture element, a direction detection unit configured to detect a direction where the image capture element is directed, and a display unit, and
