Abstract

A shovel management apparatus includes a temporary storing part and an abnormality information storing part. The temporary storing part temporarily stores detection information containing an operation input amount detected by an input amount detecting part of a shovel and physical amounts detected by a plurality of sensors in the shovel. The abnormality information storing part stores abnormality information. A controller performs an abnormality determination based on the detection information. The controller transfers, when an occurrence of an abnormality is determined at a first time, the detection information as the abnormality information, which is stored in a time period from a second time earlier than the first time to at least the first time, from the temporary storing part to the abnormality information storing part.

Claims

1. A multifunctional portable information terminal for a shovel, comprising:

a display and input device configured to display and input information;

a memory storing a diagnosis application software; and

a processor coupled to the memory, and configured to activate the diagnosis application software and thereafter display a position of a component of the shovel on the display and input device, the component being a check item of a process according to the diagnosis application software.

2. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display and input device is configured to be operated by operations including a swipe operation, a pinch-in operation, and a pinch-out operation.

3. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display information regarding the check item on the display and input device.

4. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display a measure to be taken by a worker on the display and input device.

5. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display a button for displaying information on a next check item on the display and input device.

6. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display the component of the shovel in a first color and an image of the shovel except for the component in a second color different from the first color on the display and input device.

7. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein a screen displayed on the display and input device after the diagnosis application software is activated is associated with a screen displaying a temporal transition of a plurality of physical amounts.

8. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display information on an agent existing within a predetermined distance range from a present position of the multifunctional portable information terminal on the display and input device.

9. The multifunctional portable information terminal for the shovel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display information on an agent existing within a predetermined distance range from a present position of the multifunctional portable information terminal on a map on the display and input device.
