DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a work information transmission system and a work helmet according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a construction site.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the work information transmission system according to the present embodiment. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a data server computer, which is connected to a database 2 and a LAN (Local Area Network) 3. The database 2 stores various kinds of information (construction work information) related to the construction work, and the data server / computer 1 sends the construction work information from the database 2 when the transmission of the construction work information is instructed via the LAN 3. The construction information is read and transmitted to the LAN 3. The construction work information is, for example, design drawings and design specifications related to the construction work. The data server / computer 1 outputs, for example, design data as image data, and outputs character information such as design specifications to the LAN 3 as character data.

The LAN 3 is a local area network of, for example, an Ethernet type, and has an access server 4 connected to one end. This access server 4
Is for connecting the LAN 3 to an external line, that is, a public line 5 and a dedicated line 6. These data servers
The computer 1, the database 2, the LAN 3, and the access server 4 are provided as in-house facilities of a construction company that performs the construction work.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a wireless base station connected to the public line 5 and communicates via radio with a work helmet 8 (work information receiving means), which is a kind of wireless terminal. The wireless base station 7 is an existing wireless base station of a mobile phone or a PHS wireless base station. On the other hand, reference numeral 9 denotes a self-managed base station temporarily set up near the construction site by the construction company. The self-managed base station 9 communicates with the work helmet 8 via radio, similarly to the wireless base station 7.

The self-operating base station 9 is provided in place of the radio base station 7 when the radio base station 7 cannot be used due to a local situation or the like. The data server computer 1, the database 2, the LAN 3, the access server 4, the public line 5, the dedicated line 6, the wireless base station 7, and the private base station 9 constitute work information transmitting means.

Next, the configuration of the work helmet 8 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of the work helmet 8. ,
As shown in the figure, the working helmet 8 includes a helmet body 8a, a microphone (microphone) 8b (sound input unit), a headphone 8c (sound emitting unit), a small antenna 8d, and a liquid crystal display 8e (image display). Part). The work helmet 8 transmits the worker's voice from the small antenna 8d as a collected radio wave with the microphone 8b, and sounds the sound obtained from the radio wave captured by the small antenna 8d from the headphones 8c,
Also, an image obtained from the radio wave is displayed on the liquid crystal display 8e.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of such a work helmet 8. As shown in FIG. The communication unit 8f demodulates a radio wave captured by the small antenna 8d and modulates a signal input from the signal processing unit 8g to perform the demodulation.
Output to d. The signal processing unit 8g includes an image processing unit 8h and an audio processing unit 8i. this house,
The image processing unit 8h generates a drive signal for driving the liquid crystal display 8e from the image signal input from the communication unit 8f.

The audio processing unit 8i adjusts the level of the audio signal input from the communication unit 8f and outputs the same to the headphone 8c, and adjusts the audio signal input from the microphone 8b to an appropriate level. 8f. The liquid crystal display 8e, the communication unit 8f, and the signal processing unit 8g are driven by a battery (not shown) mounted on the helmet body 8a. The work helmet 8 is worn by a supervisor who supervises and supervises construction work, for example.

Next, the operation of the work information transmission system thus configured will be described in detail. First, when a supervisor wearing the work helmet 8 inputs a request for work information to the work helmet 8 via the microphone 8b, the request (voice) is adjusted in level by the voice processing unit 8i and communicated as a voice signal. Output to the unit 8f. This audio signal is modulated in the communication section 8f and transmitted as radio waves from the small antenna 8d. This request is, for example, a request for transmitting a design drawing necessary for proceeding with the construction work, a request for transmitting the contents described in a design specification, or the like.

For example, when the private base station 9 is not provided, the radio wave related to the request is received by the radio base station 7 and is transmitted to the access server 4 via the public line 5.
Is transmitted to Then, the LA is set by the access server 4.
The signal is converted into a transmission signal for N3 and input to the data server computer 1. As a result, the data server computer 1 recognizes the request content of the supervisor by voice-recognizing the request (voice signal).

Then, the data server computer 1
Reads the construction work information corresponding to the request from the database 2 and transmits it to the work helmet 8.
Send to AN3. As a result, the construction information is LA
It is transmitted from N3 to access server 4 and from public line 5 to work helmet 8 via wireless base station 7. The communication unit 8f of the work helmet 8 determines whether the signal transmitted and received as described above is an audio signal or an image signal. If the signal is an image signal, the signal is output to the image processing unit 8h. In this case, it is output to the audio processing unit 8i.

For example, when a design drawing is transmitted from the data server computer 1, an image signal of the design drawing is input to the image processing unit 8h and displayed on the liquid crystal display 8e. On the other hand, when the contents described in the design specification are transmitted from the data server computer 1 as text data, the text data is converted into an audio signal in the audio processing unit 8i and is output as audio from the headphones 8c.

The supervisor wearing the work helmet 8
It is possible to give an appropriate construction instruction by referring to the design drawing displayed on the liquid crystal display 8e,
Also, an appropriate construction instruction can be given based on the contents of the design specification that is output as sound from the headphones 8c.
In this case, the construction work information includes the liquid crystal display 8e or the headphone 8c provided on the helmet body 8a.
Is transmitted to the supervisor, the supervisor can use both hands freely without any special operation, and there is no need to carry design drawings and design specifications. This is extremely important in a messy environment such as a construction site.
