Evidence Report

Evidence report is a function that summarizes the evidence of each point as a PDF file. The GPS recorded on arrival and the photos taken for the photo check are put together and created as a single PDF report. Even in a PC environment where Brevet Manager cannot be used, you can check the trail list of each point and its contents.

About operation using evidence report

Evidence reports allow you to use Brevet Manager as a trail reporting tool for brevets and cycling events. If you actually manage the event, you do not need permission or expenses to the developer, but we cannot guarantee the success to your operation. Please use it under your responsibility.

However, as a developer, I hope it can actually be used in some way. If you have any questions, such as "It seems that you can use it, but how about it?", Please feel free to contact us. Please contact us from the inquiry form from the link below.

<What is "Evidence Report" feature>

Evidence report is a function that summarizes the evidence of each point as a PDF file. Evidence reports combine two types of evidence to create a report. One is the photo attached to each point, and the other is the GPS information at the time of arrival recording.

<Create Evidence Report>

Evidence reports are created from the result screen. Show the result for which you want to create an evidence report, and show the menu from the menu button on the upper right. In the menu, there is "Create Evidence Report". Tap it.

The settings dialog is displayed. Make some settings here.

• Participant name
  You can include the participant's name in the evidence report. Type the name you want to enter. If you don't want to, enter some dummy string.
  
  
• Report GPS evidence
  The evidence report is basically a list of photos attached to each point, but the report can include GPS information recorded at the start point at the time of departure and at other points at the time of arrival.
• Only report required points
  In addition to required points such as PC and Secret points, user can add personal check points for their plan in the plan file. You can configure the evidence report to include only required points or all points, including user points.

Tap the create button when the settings are complete. The created report is displayed. The report can be exported as a PDF file. Please export from the share button on the upper right and save it to any cloud storage.

Since it is exported as a PDF file, you can see the contents even in a PC environment. You can send it to others to publish the contents of the Brevet.

<Contents of Evidence Report>

The Evidence Report consists of a summary cover page, and a detail pages with detailed results for each point.

Created date and Application version information

Brevet Information

Information such as the name and distance of the brevet is included. This is based on the information entered in the plan file and result file.

Summary

It is a summary of the results of each point.

For GPS information, the following 5 types of results will be entered.

- No data: GPS Information is not recorded

- No limit: No limitation, because it is user personal point

- Not validated : Not validated, because no target coordinate in plan

- Valid : Both location and time are in valid range

- InValid :  Location or time is out of valid range

If you see the "Valid" mark, you can determine that your arrival at that point is valid. If it is "InValid", it can be judged that more detailed confirmation is necessary.

The following two types of Photo information will be entered.

Attached : A photo is attached to this point

Not Attached : A photo is not attached to this point

If a photo is attached, the content cannot be determined automatically, so you need to check the content manually.

Validation condition

The distance determined from the target coordinates whether it is within the effective range is described. This is 1.5 times the automatic arrival / departure detection distance.

<Point menu, Information for Evidence Report>

Evidence reports combine two types of evidence into a report. One is the photo attached to each point, and the other is the GPS information of the arrival record. You can see attached evidences from point menu in point information view.

By tapping the point menu button, the menu will be displayed.

Attached photos are displayed in the menu. Tap the "Location view" to check the GPS information.

The map screen is displayed and the coordinate information is displayed. The red pin indicates the target coordinates of the point specified in the plan file. The blue pin shows the coordinates where the arrival was recorded.

<Point menu button status>

The attachment states to each point can be identified from the state of the point menu button.

• In case of lighted green to the top of button, it means photo is attached.
• In case of lighted red to the left of button, it means target coordinate is set.
• In case of lighted blue to the right of button, it means arrival coordinate is recorded.

If there is no information for each, each location of the menu button will be grayed out. The following conditions mean that no attached photo, no target coordinates, and no arrival coordinates.

It can also be identified from the menu.

• In case of photo is attached, it is displayed to the point menu.
• In case of target coordinate is set, red pin icon is displayed in menu item.
• In case of arrival coordinate is recorded, blue pin icon is displayed in menu item.

In below status, it means photo is not attached, no target coordinate, and no arrival coordinate.

<Attach photo to point>

You can attach a photo to the point both during the execution of the plan and after the completion of the brevet. If the plan is running, select the point to which you want to attach a photo and tap the point menu button.

Tap the "Attach photo" menu.

The system photo management screen or file management screen will be displayed. By selecting the photo you want to attach from there, the photo will be attached to the point. The attached photo will be displayed in the point menu.

The operation is almost the same on the result screen, but in order to edit the attachment, it is necessary to enter editing status from the screen menu.

Please go edit, and then show the point menu.

<Recording GPS information at tracking>

If you record GPS information at the timing of arrival at each point, it will be available in the evidence report.

If you are using the "Automatic arrival detection" function, the GPS information is automatically recorded because the GPS information is acquired at the time of background execution. If you are not using the automatic detection feature, you will have to manually record your arrival, but be careful in this case.

If automatic detection is not performed, GPS information will be acquired after the tracking screen is displayed. And it takes a few seconds to a few minutes to get GPS information. This time depends on the deice you are using. If you record the arrival while the GPS information is not acquired, the GPS information will not be recorded inevitably.

Whether or not GPS information can be acquired on the tracking screen can be determined by the color of the satellite icon on the upper left of the screen. While it is displayed in gray, it has not been acquired yet, and after acquisition it is displayed in blue.

Satellite icon is displayed with blue color after acquisition

If you try to manually record the arrival when GPS information has not been acquired, a confirmation dialog will be displayed.

If you do not use the evidence report, you can record it as it is. Even if you do not use the evidence report, it may be useful to keep the coordinates of the arrival record, so it is recommended to obtain it before recording.

<How to judge your are in valid range at manual recording>

Arrival judgment using GPS information is judged from the distance between the target coordinates of the plan and the realtime coordinates. The distance determined to arrive is based on the automatic detection distance setting on the setting screen.

On the setting screen, you can set the automatic detection distance to 75m or 150m. In the evidence report, the distance obtained by multiplying this distance by 1.5 is used as the criterion for reaching. For example, when the automatic detection distance is set to 75m, if it is within 112m, it is judged to be Valid.

When using the automatic detection, if the arrival is automatically detected, the evidence report will automatically record GPS information.

If you are using manual recording, you must manually determine whether you are in valid distance range. You can know from the state of the screen.

When you enter the valid range distance, the point information area at the bottom of the screen flashes blue. For example, if the automatic detection distance is set to 75m, it means that the current location is within 75m to the target coordinates. If you record the arrival in this state, the recorded GPS coordinates will be within 75m from the target coordinates.
