WORK MACHINE AND COMMUNICATION MONITORING
First Claim
1. A work machine comprising:
- a work section for effecting a ground work;
a communication section capable of communication with an external server via a mobile communication terminal;
a monitoring section for monitoring communication condition between the communication section and the mobile communication terminal;
a storage section capable of storing information of work effected by the work section; and
a control section configured to transmit the work information to the server via the communication section and the mobile communication terminal if the monitoring section detects that communication is possible between the communication section and the mobile communication terminal and also to cause the storage section to store the work information if the monitoring section detects that no communication is possible between the communication section and the mobile communication terminal.

Abstract
Disclosed are a work machine and a communication monitoring method that allow recording of work information even in the event of interruption of communication in a communication path between the work machine, a mobile communication terminal and a server. There is provided a control section (71) configured to transmit work information to a server (Z) via a communication section (68) and a smartphone (Y) if a monitoring section (69) detects that communication is possible between the communication section (68) and the smartphone (Y) and also to cause a storage section (70) to store the work information if the monitoring section (69) detects that communication is not possible between the communication section (68) and the smartphone (Y).

8. A communication monitoring method for monitoring communication among a work machine that effects a ground work, an external server and a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
-
a monitoring step for monitoring communication condition between the mobile communication terminal and the server; a transmitting-receiving step for receiving, from a communication section of the work machine, work information of a work effected by a work section of the work machine and transmitting the work information to the server if it is detected at the monitoring step that communication is possible between the mobile communication terminal and the server; and a storing step for causing a storage section of the work machine or a terminal storage section of the mobile communication terminal to store the work information if it is detected at the monitoring step that communication is not possible between the mobile communication terminal and the server. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
