Abstract

A method is used for determining reusability. The method includes receiving image data of a boundary sample and repairing method data corresponding to the image data from a database using a terminal; outputting the image data of the boundary sample for each reuse form of the device and the repairing method data using an output device; and determining whether to repair and reuse a used device by comparing a state of the recovered device with the output image of the boundary sample.

Claims

1. A method for determining reusability, the method comprising:

receiving image data of a boundary sample and repairing method data corresponding to the image data from a database using a terminal;

outputting the image data of the boundary sample for each reuse form of the device and the repairing method data using an output device; and

determining whether to repair and reuse a used device by comparing a state of the recovered device with the output image of the boundary sample.

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

outputting image data of a boundary sample including an image of rust using the output device; and

determining that the recovered device will be reused when a ratio of rust of the recovered device is smaller than that of the output boundary sample.

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

acquiring a work license corresponding to a worker repairing the device using the terminal; and

determining whether selection of a reuse form of the device is acceptable according to the acquired work license.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the output device is a printing device which prints the received image data of the boundary sample on paper.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the output device is a display which displays the received image data of the boundary sample.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

storing the image data of the boundary sample in a storage; and

displaying, on a display, the at least one boundary sample together with information to specify the reuse form based on the image data of the boundary sample stored in the storage.

7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising displaying, on the display, the at least one boundary sample together with information to specify a component of the device based on the image data of the boundary sample stored in the storage.

8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising:

displaying the plurality of boundary samples on the display by arranging the boundary samples in a matrix shape;

displaying information to specify a plurality of the reuse forms on the display in a first direction of the matrix; and

displaying information to specify a plurality of the component s of the device on the display in a second direction of the matrix.

9. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:

acquiring a work license corresponding to a worker repairing the device by an acquisitor; and

displaying the work license acquired by the acquisitor on the display.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising switching by a controller between displaying, on the display, a selection operation key image for selecting the reuse form of the device and not displaying the image according to the work license acquired by the acquisitor.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the device is an electric power device.

12. The method according to claim 1, further comprising determining whether to reuse a device recovered from a use state without repairing the device by comparing a state of the recovered device with the output image of the boundary sample.

13. The method according to claim 1, further comprising determining whether to discard a device recovered from a use state by comparing a state of the recovered device with the output image of the boundary sample.

14. A method for determining reusability, the method comprising:

comparing a used device with at least an image of a boundary sample associated with a repair method; and

determining whether to reuse the used device, based at least in part on a comparison result of comparing the used device with the image.

15. The method according to claim 14, further comprising:

determining a repair method to repair the used device for reusing the used device, based at least in part on the comparison result, in a case that it is determined to reuse the used device.

16. The method according to claim 14,

wherein comparing the used device with the at least image of the boundary sample comprises:

comparing in at least in part rust the used device with the at least image of the boundary sample.

17. The method according to claim 14, wherein comparing the used device with the at least image of the boundary sample comprises:

comparing the used device with a plurality of images of the boundary samples which are respectively associated with a plurality of repair methods.

18. The method according to claim 17, further comprising:

selecting one of the plurality of repair methods to repair the used device for reusing the used device, based at least in part on the comparison result, in a case that it is determined to reuse the used device.

19. The method according to claim 14, wherein comparing the used device with the at least image of the boundary sample comprises:

comparing in at least in part rust the used device with a plurality of images of the boundary samples which are respectively associated with a plurality of rust levels.

20. The method according to claim 19, further comprising:

selecting one of the plurality of rust levels to repair the used device for reusing the used device, based at least in part on the comparison result, in a case that it is determined to reuse the used device.
