## Abstract

A terminal device and a program that can reduce the operation load at a construction site, are provided. The terminal device is configured to capture an image of a construction status of a device installed at a plurality of locations, the terminal device including an imaging unit configured to capture the image of an imaging target; an imaging instruction acquiring unit configured to acquire an imaging instruction given by a user to the imaging unit; a display unit configured to display candidates of each of a plurality of kinds of construction target information to be associated with the image that the user is to capture; and a selecting unit configured to select, according to the user's instruction, a candidate from among the candidates of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information displayed on the display unit, wherein when the candidate is selected at the selecting unit, a candidate linked to the selected candidate is displayed on the display unit.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A terminal device configured to capture an image of a construction status of a device installed at a plurality of locations, the terminal device comprising:
an imaging unit configured to capture the image of an imaging target;
an imaging instruction acquiring unit configured to acquire an imaging instruction given by a user to the imaging unit;
a display unit configured to display candidates of each of a plurality of kinds of construction target information to be associated with the image that the user is to capture; and
a selecting unit configured to select, according to the user's instruction, a candidate from among the candidates of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information displayed by the display unit, wherein
when the candidate is selected at the selecting unit, the display unit displays a candidate linked to the selected candidate is displayed on the display unit, and
when the imaging target has been captured by the imaging unit upon completion of selecting the candidate by the selecting unit and acquiring of the imaging instruction by the imaging instruction acquiring unit, in a case where displaying a candidate of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information to be associated with an image that the user will capture next, the display unit displays the candidate in a state where the selecting unit has completed selecting the candidate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of kinds of the construction target information include at least two kinds of information among information relating to a case, a property, a constructor, an imaging person, a location, a device, operation content, operation progress, evaluation of operation, and imaging date and time.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a registration unit in which linking information is registerable, the linking information relating to linking between the candidates based on the plurality of kinds of the construction target information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a linking information acquiring unit configured to acquire linking information relating to linking between the candidates based on the plurality of kinds of the construction target information, wherein
when the selecting unit selects, according to the user's instruction, a candidate of one kind of construction target information among the plurality of kinds of the construction target information displayed by the display unit, the display unit displays a candidate that is linked to the selected candidate and that is of a kind of the construction target information different from the kind of the construction target information to which the selected candidate belongs, based on the linking information acquired by the linking information acquiring unit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein in an imaging standby state before the imaging instruction acquiring unit acquires the imaging instruction, the candidates of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information displayed by the display unit are retained in a selectable manner.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, in a state where one candidate is displayed by the display unit for each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information, when the imaging instruction acquiring unit acquires the imaging instruction, the imaging instruction is given to the imaging unit, and the selecting unit selects the one candidate displayed on the displayed unit for each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a processing unit configured to associate the image captured by the imaging unit with the candidate of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information selected at the selecting unit, wherein
when the imaging instruction acquiring unit acquires the imaging instruction after the candidate is selected for each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information at the selecting unit, the imaging unit captures the image of the imaging target, and the processing unit associates the image captured by the imaging unit with the candidate of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information selected at the selecting unit.

### Claim 8

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process performed in a terminal device including an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a construction status of a device installed at a plurality of locations, the process comprising:
acquiring an imaging instruction given by a user to the imaging unit;
displaying candidates of each of a plurality of kinds of construction target information to be associated with the image that the user is to capture; and
selecting, according to the user's instruction, a candidate of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information displayed at the displaying, wherein
when the candidate is selected at the selecting, the displaying includes displaying a candidate linked to the selected candidate, and
when the imaging target has been captured by the imaging unit upon completion of selecting the candidate at the selecting and acquiring of the imaging instruction at the acquiring, in a case where displaying a candidate of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information to be associated with an image that the user will capture next, the displaying includes displaying the candidate in a state where the selecting of the candidate at the selecting has completed.
