Abstract

A technique for identifying a measurement planned position for electromagnetic waves in a three-dimensional space in a simple and easy manner is provided. A position of a measuring unit 200 that is carried by an operator 100 is measured by a position measuring device that is configured to measure a position by laser light. A positional relationship between the measured position and the position of a measurement planned position 601 is displayed on a terminal 300 that is carried by the operator 100 . This display guides the operator 100 , and the operator 100 identifies the measurement planned position 601 and measure illuminance thereat.

Claims (24)

1. A device for measuring illuminance of illumination light, the device comprising:

a measurement planned position data receiving unit that receives data of a three-dimensional position of a measurement planned position that is a candidate at which illuminance of the illumination light is measured by an illuminometer, which is fixed on a reflective prism;

a position data receiving unit that receives data of a three-dimensional position of the illuminometer that is obtained by measuring a position of the reflective prism by using laser light of a position measuring device; and

a graphical user interface controlling unit that displays a relationship between the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position and the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer, on a display,

wherein the graphical user interface controlling unit displays distances in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction from the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer to the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position, on the display, as a result of comparison between the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position and the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a measurement instruction prompting unit that controls displaying of a notice when a distance between the measurement planned position and the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer is not greater than a predetermined value.

3. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a measurement instruction prompting unit that controls displaying of a notice when a distance between the measurement planned position and the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer is not greater than a predetermined value.

4. The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement planned position is set at each positions in a grid in a three-dimensional space.

5. The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of the illuminometer is displayed on the display.

6. The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer is displayed on the display.

7. A method for measuring illuminance of illumination light, the method comprising:

receiving data of a three-dimensional position of a measurement planned position that is a candidate at which illuminance of the illumination light is measured by an illuminometer that is fixed on a reflective prism;

receiving data of a three-dimensional position of the illuminometer that is obtained by measuring a position of the reflective prism by using laser light of a position measuring device;

displaying a relationship between the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position and the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer, on a display; and

comparing the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position with the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer,

wherein distances in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction from the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer to the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position are displayed on the display as a result of the comparison.

8. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable program codes for measuring illuminance of illumination light, the computer-executable program codes comprising program code instructions for:

receiving data of a three-dimensional position of a measurement planned position that is a candidate at which illuminance of the illumination light is measured by an illuminometer that is fixed on a reflective prism;

receiving data of a three-dimensional position of the illuminometer that is obtained by measuring a position of the reflective prism by using laser light of a position measuring device;

displaying a relationship between the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position and the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer, on a display; and

comparing the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position with the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer,

wherein distances in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction from the three-dimensional position of the illuminometer to the three-dimensional position of the measurement planned position are displayed on the display as a result of the comparison.
