Abstract: An electric tool system includes an electric tool device and a camera device. The electric tool device has a drive unit and an electric tool communication unit. The drive unit performs tightening work of tightening a tightening component to a work target. The electric tool communication unit performs communication with outside. The camera device has a fixing unit, an image capturing unit, and a camera communication unit. The fixing unit is removably attached to the electric tool device. The image capturing unit captures an image of at least the work target. The camera communication unit performs communication with the outside.

Abstract: A decision system includes an identifier and a decider. The identifier identifies, based on a captured image generated by an image capturing unit attached to a tool, a work target shot as a subject of the captured image as one of a plurality of work targets. The decider decides whether a first work target included in the plurality of work targets is a mistakable work target by comparing, by reference to at least one reference image, the first work target with a second work target also included in the work targets. If the second work target is similar to the first work target, the second work target makes the first work target the mistakable work target difficult to identify based on the captured image. The at least one reference image belongs to a plurality of reference images corresponding one to one to the plurality of work targets.

Abstract: A tool system includes an image capturing unit, a storage unit, a class identifier, and a spot determiner. The image capturing unit shoots a work spot of a target article and thereby generates captured image data. The storage unit stores a plurality of reference image data items with the plurality of reference image data items classified into multiple groups according to respective classes of the plurality of articles. The class identifier acquires identification information to identify the class of the target article. The spot determiner determines the work spot shot by the image capturing unit by comparing the captured image data with one of the plurality of reference image data items, which belongs to one of the multiple groups that is associated with the class of the target article identified by reference to the identification information.

Abstract: A tool system includes a tool, an image capturing unit, a processing unit, and a set state detection unit. The tool is a portable tool including a driving unit to be activated with power supplied from a power source. The image capturing unit is provided for the tool and generates a captured image. The processing unit intermittently performs identification processing of identifying a work target based on the captured image. The set state detection unit detects a state where the tool is set in place on the work target.

Abstract: A tool system is used for a plurality of tools. Each of the plurality of tools is a portable tool and includes: a driving unit to be activated with power supplied from a power source; and an image capturing unit. The tool system includes a reference image generating unit and an output unit. The reference image generating unit generates, based on a second captured image, a reference image to be compared with a first captured image. The first captured image is shot, while a current work target is being identified, by the image capturing unit. The second captured image is also shot by the image capturing unit. The output unit makes a display unit display the second captured image while the reference image generating unit is generating the reference image.
