Job selection system and job selection method
A server causes an information terminal device to display a selection image for allowing an operator to select a desired operation among one or more operations and a desired master device among one or more master devices based on operation request information stored in a first database and master device information stored in a second database. The information terminal device sends to the server a selection instruction of the operator who selects the desired operation and the desired master device via the selection image. The server receives an operation order acceptance of the operator by storing, in an operation plan database, an operator ID, a master device ID and the operation designated by the selection instruction in combination with one another.

wherein
the operation request information further includes a required skill level required for the operator under the order acceptance,
the server further includes an operator database which stores respective skill levels of a plurality of operators, wherein a time required to complete any of the plurality of job items is automatically received based on actual performance by the plurality of operators on a job simulator, and
the order acceptance management part acquires from the operator database the skill level of the operator having sent the selection instruction among the plurality of operators when the second communication part receives the selection instruction, and automatically accept the order acceptance of the operator when a condition of skill level equal to or higher than the required skill level in a case where the selection instruction indicates the acceptance, and notify the operator of failed acceptance of the order acceptance when a condition of skill level is not equal to or higher than the required skill level.
2. The operation selection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the operation request information includes the job items and the operation time segments,
the selection image shows the job items and the operation time segments in such a way as to allow a selection of a desired one of the job items and a desired one of the operation time segments,
the selection instruction includes an instruction of selecting the desired job item, an instruction of selecting the desired time segment for the selected job item, and an instruction of selecting a remote manipulating device for use in the selected desired operation time segment via the selection image, and
the order acceptance management part receives the operation order acceptance of the operator by storing the identifier of the operator, the job item designated by the selection instruction, the desired time segment designated by the selection instruction, and the identifier of the remote manipulating device designated by the selection instruction.
3. The operation selection system according to claim 2 , wherein
the operation request information further includes a first remuneration for a lump order acceptance for an entirety of the operation time segments, and a second remuneration lower than the first remuneration for a partial order acceptance for a part of the operation time segments, and
the selection image shows the first remuneration and the second remuneration in connection with the job item.
4. The operation selection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the remote manipulating device information includes information of a usage fee of the remote manipulating device, and
the search criterion includes a criterion of searching the remote manipulating device in order of usage fee, beginning with the lowest or with the highest.
5. The operation selection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the remote manipulating device information includes information of a reservation date and a reservation time for the remote manipulating device,
the search criterion includes a criterion of designating the reservation date and reservation time for the remote manipulating device, and
the extraction part extracts from the second database the remote manipulating device which is available at the reservation time on the reservation date designated as the search criterion.
6. The operation selection system according to claim 1 , wherein
the selection image includes a map view showing the location of the remote manipulating device extracted by the extraction part.
7. An operation selection method for use in an operation selection system for allowing an operator who remotely manipulates a construction machine by a remote manipulating device to select an operation ordered by an orderer, the operation selection method comprising:
generating, based on operation request information concerning one or more operations ordered by the orderer and remote manipulating device information including at least an identifier of one or more remote manipulating devices, display data which causes an information terminal device to display a selection image for allowing the operator to select a desired operation among the one or more operations and a desired remote manipulating device among the one or more remote manipulating devices,
transmitting the display data to the information terminal device of the operator and causing the information terminal device to display the selection image;
receiving from the information terminal device a selection instruction of the operator who selects the desired operation and the desired remote manipulating device via the selection image; and
receiving an operation order acceptance by storing an identifier of the operator, an identifier of the remote manipulating device designated by the selection instruction, and the operation designated by the selection instruction in combination with one another,
