＜Novelty and Expected Effects (quoted from the registration page)
(1) Where is the novelty? (What has been improved compared to conventional technology?)
It is possible to record directly on a tablet by handwriting.
It is possible to use photos of the work site as a record without using a digital camera.
TODOs that occurred in the field can be extracted without omission.
Past records can be displayed immediately.
Enabled real-time sharing of entries between different tablets.
(2) What are the expected benefits? (What are the advantages of using new technology?)
The ability to record directly on the tablet with handwriting eliminates the need to digitize the data again on a PC.
The ability to record handwritten notes directly on a tablet eliminates the need to digitize them again on a computer, thereby saving time and improving quality.
The ability to handle photos of the job site as records without the use of a digital camera allows for the extraction and selection of data on a PC.
The ability to use photos as records without using a digital camera eliminates the need to extract and select data on a PC, thereby shortening work time.
By making it possible to extract TODOs that occur onsite without omission, it eliminates omissions in TODO implementation and improves quality.
This will improve the quality of work.
The ability to immediately display past records eliminates the need to visually search for records, thereby reducing work time.
This will reduce the amount of time spent on work.
The ability to share writing between different tablets in real time eliminates the need to communicate with each other.
The ability to share real-time writing between different tablets eliminates miscommunication and improves quality.
Technologies evolve the world.
