In a mechanical fastening work method in an augmented reality space, a mechanical fastening part and a mechanical fastening part virtual body correspond one-to-one, and a tool and a tool virtual body correspond one-to-one. An augmented reality configuration system generates an augmented reality space including: a camera that captures a real space; a server that analyzes an image captured by the camera and generates the augmented reality space; and a tool that acquires torque information observed when tightening or loosening the mechanical fastening part and transmits and receives the torque information to and from the server. The mechanical fastening work method includes a step of, when the tool detects torque information that the mechanical fastening part is to be tightened or loosened, defining the mechanical fastening part virtual body corresponding one-to-one to the mechanical fastening part, and making the defined mechanical fastening part virtual body appear in the virtual space.

In an operation management system in the related art, it is necessary to add an identification mark such as an RFID tag to each component to be managed and prepare a fastening tool having an antenna. In contrast, a mechanical fastening unit management method is provided using an augmented reality space generated by superimposing a virtual space on a real space. In the augmented reality space where a real fastening unit (RBn) and a virtual fastening unit (IBn) are in a one-to-one correspondence, information that the real fastening unit is selected as a fastening target is acquired with a camera or the like, and analyzed by an augmented reality server connected to the camera. Accordingly, it is possible to easily record that a predetermined operation is progressing as scheduled, and to provide a high quality mechanical fastening unit management method or system that is low in operation cost.
