  Next, the video recording process in the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S <b> 301, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 acquires a two-dimensional code photographed on the mobile terminal.

Here, the two-dimensional code refers to a code configured by arranging a plurality of types of cells as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-78973. When the two-dimensional code described in JP 2009-78973 A is included in a still image, the two-dimensional code ID (identification information) and the still image of the two-dimensional code are included. The position (coordinates) inside is obtained.
An example of the two-dimensional code is shown in FIG.

  What is acquired here may be an image of the two-dimensional code itself, or information for identifying the two-dimensional code (identification information obtained from the two-dimensional code).

  In step S302, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 instructs the network camera 103 to detect the two-dimensional code acquired in step S301.

  In step S303, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the two-dimensional code acquired in step S301 has been detected.

  If it can be detected (step S303: YES), the process proceeds to step S304.

  In step S304, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 adjusts the PTZ of the network camera so that the two-dimensional code detected in step S303 is approximately the center of the image.

  Specifically, the pan / tilt is adjusted so that the two-dimensional code becomes the center of the image, and the zoom is adjusted so that the two-dimensional code can be photographed at a predetermined size.

  In step S <b> 305, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 starts recording video captured by the network camera 103.

  In step S306, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether a two-dimensional code different from the two-dimensional code acquired in step S301 has been received.

  That is, it is determined whether another worker has read the two-dimensional code corresponding to the new product with the mobile terminal 104 (whether the work related to the product has been started).

  If a new two-dimensional code is received (step S306: YES), the process proceeds to step S310.

  If a new two-dimensional code has not been received (step S306: NO), the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S307, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether an instruction to end recording has been received.

  An instruction to end recording may be received by an operation on the mobile terminal 104 or may be received by detecting a two-dimensional code for recording end. Further, the user may receive a termination instruction by performing a predetermined operation and detecting the operation.

  If a recording end instruction is received (step S307: YES), the process proceeds to step S308.

  If the recording end instruction has not been received (step S307: NO), the process returns to step S306.

  In step S308, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 ends the video recording.

  In step S309, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 stores the recorded video and the identification information specified by the two-dimensional code acquired in step S301 in association with each other.

  As a result of the above processing, the slip number and the video image of the work related to the product specified by the slip number are recorded in association with each other. Thus, for example, when a defect occurs in the product with the slip number 1234, it is possible to check the work content related to the product by checking the video associated with the slip number. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the trouble of searching for the video.

  In step S310, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 notifies the portable terminal 104 that has read the two-dimensional code received in step S306 that the operation is on standby.

  In step S311, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether an instruction to end recording has been received.

  An instruction to end recording may be received by an operation on the mobile terminal 104 or may be received by detecting a two-dimensional code for recording end. Further, the user may receive a termination instruction by performing a predetermined operation and detecting the operation.

  In step S312, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 ends the video recording.

  In step S313, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 stores the recorded video and the identification information specified by the two-dimensional code acquired in step S301 in association with each other.

  As a result of the above processing, the slip number and the video image of the work related to the product specified by the slip number are recorded in association with each other. Thus, for example, when a defect occurs in the product with the slip number 1234, it is possible to check the work content related to the product by checking the video associated with the slip number. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the trouble of searching for the video.

  In step S314, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 instructs the network camera 103 to detect the two-dimensional code acquired in step S306.

  In step S315, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the two-dimensional code acquired in step S306 has been detected.

  If it can be detected (step S315: YES), the process proceeds to step S316.

  In step S316, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 adjusts the PTZ of the network camera so that the two-dimensional code detected in step S315 is approximately the center of the image.

  Specifically, the pan / tilt is adjusted so that the two-dimensional code becomes the center of the image, and the zoom is adjusted so that the two-dimensional code can be photographed at a predetermined size.

  In step S <b> 317, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 starts recording video captured by the network camera 103.

In step S318, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 permits the mobile terminal 104 that has notified the standby in step S310 to start work.
Then, the process returns to step S306.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data table in which a two-dimensional code and a slip number (identification information for identifying a product or the like) are stored in association with each other. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a two-dimensional code and a slip number are stored in advance in association with each other.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table in which slip numbers and moving image data are recorded in association with each other by the processes in steps S309 and S313.
