  FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of an embodiment of a driver management system to which the present invention is applied.

  The company XYZ is a prime contractor and collects packages to be delivered in one of Depot X, Depot Y, and Depot Z.

  Carriers A, B, and C are subcontracting carriers that undertake delivery of packages from company XYZ.

  A management system 21 is installed in the depot X of the company XYZ. A management system 22 is installed in the depot Y, and a management system 23 is installed in the depot Z.

  In addition, the shipping companies A, B, or C have information input systems 31, 32, or 33, respectively.

  Each of the management systems 21 to 23 performs the same processing.

  Each of the information input systems 31 to 33 performs the same processing.

  Therefore, in the following, the management system 21 of the depot X and the information input system 31 of the shipping company A will be described, respectively, the management system 22 of the depot Y, the management system 23 of the depot Z, and the information input system of the shipping company B 32 and the description of the information input system 33 of the shipping company C will be omitted.

  There is a driver who is shipping company XYZ at shipping company A. The driver is obliged to store his / her driver's license in the license holder 41 provided by the transportation company A (or company XYZ) and carry it.

  An RF (Radio Frequency) tag 42 is attached to the license holder 41, and the RF tag 42 can transmit and receive information (data) to and from the information input system 31.

  The information input system 31 detects a driver's fingerprint (information), and, along with fingerprint information representing the fingerprint, license information including information such as a driver's license number and a driver's license expiration date, Transmit to the RF tag 42. Here, the license information is generated, for example, when the operator confirms the driver's license and inputs predetermined items in the information input system 31. The fingerprint information is used as recognition information for recognizing the owner of the driver's license.

  The RF tag 42 receives and stores the driver's fingerprint information and license information transmitted from the information input system 31. Hereinafter, the fingerprint information of the driver and the license information are also referred to as driver information.

  When the driver of the shipping company A arrives at the depot X for delivery work, the management system 21 detects fingerprint information representing the driver's fingerprint. Further, the management system 21 reads (receives) the fingerprint information of the driver stored therein from the RF tag 42, and the fingerprint information detected by itself coincides with the fingerprint information of the driver stored in the RF tag 42. Whether or not the driver is the person himself / herself is subjected to fingerprint authentication (identity confirmation).

  In addition, the management system 21 reads (receives) the license information from the RF tag 42 to confirm (determine) whether or not the driver's driving license has expired.

  Then, after the confirmation of the driver's identity and the confirmation of the expiration date of the driver's license are completed, the management system 21 stores therein the time when the driver arrives at the depot X (hereinafter referred to as arrival time). Further, when the driver leaves the depot X to load and deliver a package on the truck, the management system 21 also stores the time when the depot X departed (hereinafter referred to as the departure time).

  The management system 21 sends the driver information received from the RF tag 42 and information such as the arrival time and departure time of the driver coming to the depot X (hereinafter referred to as operation information as appropriate) to the integrated server 25 via the network 24. Send.

  The network 24 is configured by a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the Internet. In FIG. 1, the management systems 21 to 23 and the integrated server 25 are connected.

  The integrated server 25 stores driver information, depot X, Y, and Z operation information transmitted from the management systems 21 to 23 via the network 24 in a database.

  In the driver management system configured as described above, the driver information stored in the RF tag 42 is used as follows.

  A driver of transportation company A carries a driver's license in a license holder 41 to which an RF tag 42 is attached, and moves to a depot X of the company XYZ by a truck or the like.

  After the driver arrives at the depot X, at the depot X, the management system 21 checks whether the fingerprint information stored in the RF tag 42 matches the fingerprint information detected by itself (fingerprint authentication).

  Further, the management system 21 reads (receives) the driver's license information stored in the RF tag 42 to determine whether the driver's driver's license has expired (has not expired). Confirm.

  Then, when the fingerprint information stored in the RF tag 42 does not match the fingerprint information detected by itself, the current date has exceeded the expiration date of the driver's license, or from the RF tag 42 If no information has been transmitted, the management system 21 issues an alarm (for example, display on a buzzer or display) informing the employees of the company XYZ in the depot X to that effect. If no information is transmitted from the RF tag 42, it is indistinguishable from the state where the driver has not arrived at the depot X. For example, a photoelectric sensor is provided at the place where the driver passes, You can check for arrival at Depot X.

  FIG. 2 shows an external view (outline) of the surface (front) of the license holder 41 in which the driver's license 51 of the driver of FIG. 1 is stored.

  The license holder 41 is, for example, a package having a size slightly larger than that of the driver's license 51, and the driver's license 51 is just accommodated therein.

  The license holder 41 is made of, for example, a material such as vinyl chloride resin (PVC) (hereinafter referred to as vinyl), and the driver's license 51 is stored in a sealed state therein. Here, the seal (state) means that even if the license holder 41 is not completely closed, as long as the driver's license holder 41 is not opened by a tear line 93 described later in FIG. This means that the certificate 51 cannot be taken out.

  The license holder 41 has a transparent portion 81 that is transparent so that the description of the driver's license 51 can be seen, and an opaque color (for example, black) that hides the description of the driver's license 51. And an opaque portion 82 (region shown by hatching).

  In the transparent portion 81 of the license holder 41, items that can be confirmed by the driver's license 51 include, for example, the name, date of birth, address and address of the owner of the driver's license 51, driver's license 51. The date of issuance of the driver's license and the expiry date of the driver's license 51. In FIG. 2, for example, the expiration date of the driver's license 51 is “July 10, 2005”.

  On the other hand, items that cannot be confirmed in the description of the driver's license 51 that overlap the opaque portion 82 of the license holder 41 include, for example, the license number (number) of the driver's license 51 and the type of driver's license. In FIG. 2, for example, the license number of the driver's license 51 is “(No.) 305012347890 (No.)”, and the type of the driver's license is “normal”. The license number of the driver's license 51 is information for uniquely identifying the driver's license 51 (driver's license identification information).

  It should be noted that the opaque portion 82 of the license holder 41 only needs to function so that the description items such as the license number of the driver's license 51 are not visible, and the material of the license holder 41 itself may not be an opaque color. For example, the opaque portion 82 of the license holder 41 is made of a transparent color made of the same material as that of the transparent portion 81, and only the region of the opaque portion 82 is colored opaque (by printing or the like). Also good.

  FIG. 3 shows an external view (outline) of the back surface of the license holder 41, which is the opposite surface of FIG.

  An antenna 91 and an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip module 92 constituting the RF tag 42 are attached to the back surface of the license holder 41 shown in FIG.

  The antenna 91 transmits data such as driver information from the IC chip module 92, receives data, and supplies the data to the IC chip module 92. The IC chip module 92 is an IC chip in which a storage circuit that stores driver information of a driver, a transmission / reception circuit that controls transmission / reception of the driver information (both not shown), and the like.

  The driver's license 51 is sealed in the license holder 41 as described above. When taking out the driver's license 51, for example, the license holder 41 is opened along the perforated line 93. That is, the cut line 93 is a weak line for opening the license holder 41 and taking out the driver's license 51.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the cut line 93 is disposed so as to straddle part of the antenna 91. Therefore, when the license holder 41 is opened by the cut line 93, the antenna 91 is divided so that driver information and the like cannot be transmitted / received.

  For example, when a driver causes a traffic accident or violates a traffic, the driver is asked to present a driver's license 51 to a police officer. The police officer who receives the driver's license 51 from the driver always confirms the license number of the driver's license 51.

  However, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the state where the driver's license 51 is stored (sealed) in the license holder 41, the license number of the driver's license 51 is blinded by the opaque portion 82. As it is, the license number of the driver cannot be confirmed.

  Therefore, the police officer requests the driver to open the license holder 41 and present the driver's license 51. In response to the request, the driver opens the license holder 41 along the cut line 93 and presents it to the police officer. The police officer confirms the driver's license number.

  Once the license holder 41 is opened according to the cut line 93, the antenna 91 is disconnected as described above, so that the RF tag 42 cannot transmit / receive driver information.

  Therefore, after the driver's license box 41 is opened, if the driver tries to carry out a delivery operation with a secret that a traffic accident or violation has occurred, the Depot X will use the RF tag 42 of the driver's license box 41 owned by the driver. Therefore, since the driver information is not transmitted to the management system 21, the management system 21 issues an alarm. Therefore, the driver is forced to report to the system administrator of the company XYZ or the administrator who manages the transportation company A that the traffic accident or violation has occurred.

  That is, the company XYZ can quickly know that the license holder 41 has been opened and that the driver of the transportation company A has violated the traffic accident.

  FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of the information input system 31 of the shipping company A in FIG.

  The terminal device 101 is connected to the reader / writer 103.

  Further, the terminal device 101 detects the fingerprint information of the driver. Then, the terminal device 101 transmits the detected driver fingerprint information and the driver license information input by the operator of the terminal device 101 to the reader / writer 103.

  The reader / writer 103 transmits the fingerprint information and license information (that is, driver information) of the driver transmitted from the terminal device 101 to the RF tag 42. Driver information data is transmitted and received between the reader / writer 103 and the RF tag 42 by radio communication using radio waves or electromagnetic waves as a medium. The reader / writer 103 and the RF tag 42 constitute an RFID system.

  Here, details of data input by the operator of the terminal device 101 and serving as driver's license information will be described.

  The driver's license information includes, for example, the driver's license number, driver name (name of the owner of the driver's license 51), transport company name, type of driver's license, expiry date of the driver's license 51, and traffic. There are points due to accidents or violations. Among them, the license number, the driver name, the type of the driver's license, and the expiration date of the driver's license can be easily recognized by the operator confirming the driver's license 51. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the license number, driver name, driver's license type, and driver's license expiration date are “3050123347890”, “Hanako Japan”, “Normal”, and “2005”, respectively. July 10th ". Also, since the name of the shipping company is also the operator's own company (name), the operator can easily recognize it.

  On the other hand, the score due to a traffic accident or a violation of the driver cannot be easily known by the operator. In other words, the driver's traffic accident or violation score is one of the driving history certificates, and the cumulative score certificate is a certificate that certifies how many points the traffic violation or traffic accident is currently in. Can be confirmed by (in principle) the person himself / herself at the automobile safety driving center located in each prefecture and the operator looking at the certificate such as the cumulative score.

  Shipping company A will make this cumulative point certificate submitted to the driver employed by the company. The operator confirms the certificate such as the cumulative score submitted by the driver, and inputs (information) the score due to a traffic accident or violation.

  For example, the transportation company A manages the driver's points due to traffic accidents or violations by causing the driver to submit a certificate such as a cumulative score on a regular basis (for example, every six months) or irregularly.

  FIG. 5 shows a detailed configuration example of the terminal device 101 of FIG.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of the reader / writer 103 of FIG.

  The reader / writer 103 includes a controller 201 and an antenna 202. The controller 201 includes a DPU (Data Processing Unit) 211, a bus 212, an SPU (Signal Processing Unit) 213, an SCC (Serial Communication Controller) 214, a memory 215, a demodulator 216, a modulator 217, and an oscillator 218. Has been.

  The DPU 211 is connected to the SPU 213, the SCC 214, and the memory 215 via the bus 212.

  The DPU 211 transmits / receives various types of information (including control signals) to / from the RF tag 42 or the terminal device 101 via the bus 212 and the SPU 213 or SCC 214 and executes processing according to the information. To do. For example, the DPU 211 receives driver information transmitted from the terminal device 101 via the bus 212 and the SCC 214. Further, the DPU 211 transmits the driver information received from the terminal device 101 to the RF tag 42 via the bus 212 and the SPU 213.

  The SPU 213 performs predetermined processing on data transmitted to and received from the RF tag 42. That is, the SPU 213 performs, for example, BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying) modulation on information (data) received from the RF tag 42 via the antenna 202 and the demodulation unit 216 and information (data) output to the modulation unit 217. (Coding to Manchester code) is performed. Here, the information (data) transmitted / received between the RF tag 42 and the reader / writer 103 is, for example, driver information of the driver.

  The SCC 214 transmits / receives information to / from the terminal device 101 (FIG. 4). For example, the SCC 214 transmits the driver information transmitted from the terminal device 101 to the DPU 211 via the bus 212.

  The memory 215 stores information necessary for processing executed by the DPU 211 in advance, or temporarily stores data being processed.

  The demodulator 216 demodulates a modulated wave (for example, ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulated wave) received from the RF tag 42 via the antenna 202 and transmits various types of demodulated information to the SPU 213.

  The modulation unit 217 performs ASK modulation on the carrier wave of a predetermined frequency supplied from the oscillation unit 218 based on the driver information (data) output from the SPU 213, and the resulting ASK modulated wave is transmitted via the antenna 202. And output. Thereby, in the antenna 202, the driver information is transmitted to the RF tag 42 as an electromagnetic wave. At this time, the modulation section 217 performs ASK modulation with a modulation degree of less than 1, so that the maximum amplitude of the ASK modulated wave does not become zero even when the data is at a low level. It is made like that.

  The oscillation unit 218 transmits a carrier wave having a predetermined frequency such as 13.56 MHz to the modulation unit 217, for example.

  FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the RF tag 42 of FIG.

  The RF tag 42 includes an antenna 91 and an IC chip module 92. The IC chip module 92 includes an ASK modulation / demodulation unit 241, a BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242, a CPU 243, and an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) 244.

  The ASK modulation / demodulation unit 241 detects and demodulates the modulation wave (ASK modulation wave) input via the antenna 91 and supplies demodulated data (for example, driver information) to the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242. The BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242 performs BPSK demodulation (Manchester code decoding) of the data supplied from the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 241 and supplies the resulting data to the CPU 243.

  The CPU 243 executes predetermined processing based on the data supplied from the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242. For example, the CPU 243 supplies the driver information supplied from the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242 to the EEPROM 244 for storage.

  The EEPROM 244 is a nonvolatile memory, and continues to store data (driver information) even after the RF tag 42 ends communication with the reader / writer 103 and the power supply is stopped.

  On the other hand, when transmitting driver information from the RF tag 42 to the reader / writer 103, the CPU 243 reads out the driver information stored in the EEPROM 244 and supplies it to the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242. The BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242 performs BPSK modulation on the driver information supplied from the CPU 243, and supplies the modulated data to the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 241. The ASK modulation / demodulation unit 241 turns on / off, for example, a predetermined switching element (not shown) corresponding to the data (for example, driver information) supplied from the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 242.

  When the switching element is in the on state, a predetermined load is connected in parallel to the antenna 91, and the load on the antenna 91 varies by turning on / off the switching element. The ASK modulation / demodulation unit 241 performs ASK modulation on the modulated wave received via the antenna 91 due to the load variation of the antenna 91, and the modulated wave (via the antenna 91) of the antenna 202 (see FIG. 6).

  In other words, the reader / writer 103 outputs a modulated wave (carrier) with the maximum amplitude of the modulated wave constant when receiving data from the RF tag 42, that is, when causing the RF tag 42 to transmit predetermined data. To do. The modulated wave (carrier) output from the reader / writer 103 is ASK modulated (load modulated) due to the fluctuation of the load of the antenna 91 of the RF tag 42.

  In the RF tag 42, in an LC circuit including an antenna 91 serving as a coil and a capacitor (not shown), a part of the electromagnetic wave radiated from the antenna 202 of the reader / writer 103 is converted into an electric signal. The electric signal (modulated wave) is rectified and smoothed to perform envelope detection, and a signal generated thereby is supplied to a voltage regulator (not shown), stabilized, and used as a DC power source as an RF power source. It is supplied to each part of the tag 42.

  Between the reader / writer 103 (FIG. 6) configured as described above and the RF tag 42 (FIG. 7), driver information of the driver of the transportation company A is transmitted and received using electromagnetic waves as a medium.

  FIG. 8 shows a detailed configuration example of the management system 21 of the depot X shown in FIG.

  The management system 21 includes a terminal device 301, a reader / writer 302, a LAN 303, and a depot server 304.

  The terminal device 301 and the depot server 304 are connected via a LAN 303. The LAN 303 is connected to the network 24, and each of the terminal device 301 or the depot server 304 can communicate with the integrated server 25 via the network 24.

  For example, the terminal device 301 receives driver information stored in the RF tag 42 from the reader / writer 302, and transmits it to the depot server 304 via the LAN 303.

  Further, the terminal device 301 performs fingerprint authentication (identity confirmation) of the driver. That is, the terminal device 301 determines whether the fingerprint information of the driver received from the RF tag 42 via the reader / writer 302 matches the fingerprint information detected from the driver.

  Furthermore, the terminal device 301 detects the arrival time when the driver arrives at the depot X and the departure time when the driver leaves the depot X, and transmits the detected time to the depot server 304 via the LAN 303.

  The reader / writer 302 has the same configuration as the reader / writer 103 of the information input system 31 shown in FIG.

  The antenna of the reader / writer 302 is embedded in, for example, a gate-shaped gate, and when the driver passes through the gate, the reader / writer 302 reads the RF tag 42 attached to the driver's license holder 41 from the RF tag 42. Read (receive) the driver information of the driver. The driver can read the driver information of the driver from the RF tag 42 by holding the license holder 41 over the antenna of the reader / writer 302.

  It should be noted that a driver who performs delivery work at the depot X always passes through the gate in which the antenna is embedded in the depot X, and basically, a driver that is not subjected to fingerprint authentication cannot be delivered.

  The depot server 304 is a server having a predetermined database. The depot server 304 stores (registers) the driver information transmitted from the terminal device 301 in the license DB (Data Base) 321. In addition, the depot server 304 receives operation information indicating the operation state of the driver such as the arrival time and departure time of the driver who arrives at the depot X for delivery work from the terminal device 301 via the LAN 303, and an operation DB (Data Base) 322. (Register).

  The depot server 304 transmits information stored in the license DB 321 and the operation DB 322 to the integrated server 25 (FIG. 1) via the LAN 303 and the network 24 (FIG. 1).

  Similar to the fingerprint sensor 131 in FIG. 5, the fingerprint sensor 411 generates image data of the driver's fingerprint, performs predetermined processing on the image data, and extracts fingerprint feature amounts (detects fingerprint information). ).

  Further, the CPU 401 receives the driver information stored in the RF tag 42 from the reader / writer 302 via the input / output interface 405 and stores it in the storage unit 408.

  Further, the CPU 401 determines whether or not the detection result of the fingerprint information detected by the fingerprint sensor 411 matches the fingerprint information in the driver information received from the reader / writer 302 and stored (registered) in the storage unit 408. (Verify) (perform fingerprint authentication).

  Further, the CPU 401 has a timer function for measuring the current time (including date) by executing a predetermined control program, and the current date is included in the driver's license information. It is determined whether or not the expiration date is exceeded.

  It can be said that the fingerprint information of the driver is driver recognition information for recognizing the driver himself. The driver recognition information is not limited to fingerprint information as long as it is possible to recognize the identity of the driver by detecting a characteristic amount unique to the individual. For example, an image of a driver's face when performing face authentication It may be facial information generated from data (facial feature amount extracted), palmprint image data generated from palmprint image data when palmprint authentication is performed (palmprint feature amount extracted), or the like.

Each of the driver information of the depots X to Z is received via the communication unit 609 and stored (registered) in the license DB 631 of the storage unit 608.

  Similarly, the CPU 601 operates the depot server 304 operation DB 322 (FIG. 10), the depot Y management system 22 depot server operation DB (not shown), and the depot Z management system 23 depot server operation DB (not shown). The operation information of the depots X to Z stored in is received via the communication unit 609 and stored (registered) in the operation DB 632 of the storage unit 608.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of driver information (data) stored in the license DB 321 of the depot server 304.

  In the license DB 321 in FIG. 12, driver information regarding a driver that performs delivery work at the depot X is stored in one record for each driver. In addition, the driver name, the carrier name, the driver's license type (license type), the expiry date of the driver's license 51, the number of points due to a traffic accident or violation, and the file name of fingerprint information (authentication data) Is stored in association with the license number.

  When the same driver enters and leaves the depot X again, one new record is added to the operation DB 322 each time.

  Next, a driver registration process for registering (storing) driver information in the RF tag 42 of the license holder 41 to be carried by the driver will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This driver registration processing is performed in the information input system 31 and the RF tag 42 of the shipping company A when, for example, a driver working at the shipping company A starts (in front of) delivery work for the company XYZ.

  First, in step S1, the terminal device 101 (FIG. 4) detects the fingerprint information of the driver who is about to start the delivery operation, and proceeds to step S2. That is, in step S1, the fingerprint sensor 131 (FIG. 5) of the terminal device 101 generates driver fingerprint image data, performs predetermined image processing on the image data, and extracts fingerprint feature values.

  In step S <b> 2, the terminal apparatus 101 determines the driver's license information (that is, the license number, driver name, shipping company name, driver's license type, driver's license 51) input by the operator operating the input unit 126. Accepting the input of the expiration date and points due to traffic accidents or violations, the process proceeds to step S3. The information described in the driver's license may be automatically read using character recognition processing (OCR: Optical Character Recognition) instead of being input by the operator.

  In step S3, the terminal device 101 transmits the driver information, that is, the fingerprint information detected in step S1 and the license information input in step S2 to the reader / writer 103, and proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the reader / writer 103 receives the driver information transmitted from the terminal device 101, and proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, the reader / writer 103 transmits the driver information received from the terminal device 101 to the RF tag 42, and proceeds to step S6.

  In step S6, the RF tag 42 receives the driver information transmitted from the reader / writer 103, stores it in the EEPROM 244, and ends the process.

  After the driver registration process described above, the driver's license 51 is stored in the license holder 41 to which the RF tag 42 storing the driver information is attached and sealed.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 15, the driver's operation management process in the company XYZ will be described.

  The driver arriving at the depot X passes the license holder 41 storing the driver's license 51 over the antenna of the reader / writer 302 (FIG. 8) or passes through the gate in which the antenna is embedded. Then, in step S31, the reader / writer 302 reads (receives) the driver information from the RF tag 42 attached to the license holder 41. Then, the reader / writer 302 transmits the read driver information to the terminal device 301, and proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, the terminal device 301 detects the fingerprint information of the driver for recognizing whether or not the driver is himself / herself by the fingerprint sensor 131, and proceeds to step S33.

  In step S33, the terminal device 301 determines whether the detection result of the fingerprint information from the driver in step S32 matches the fingerprint information in the driver information received from the RF tag 42 in step S31. If it is determined in step S33 that the detection result of the fingerprint information from the driver does not match the fingerprint information received from the RF tag 42, the process proceeds to step S34, and the terminal device 301 indicates that the fingerprint authentication is incompatible. Is output to a display or a speaker. Based on the alarm information, the display or speaker of the terminal device 301 outputs a message to that effect and ends the processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S33 that the detection result of the fingerprint information from the driver matches the fingerprint information received from the RF tag 42, that is, the driver's license 51 stored in the license holder 41 is stored. If it can be confirmed that the user is the owner, the process proceeds to step S35, and the terminal device 301 registers the driver confirmed to be the owner of the driver's license 51 in the license DB 321 of the depot server 304. It is determined whether it has been completed.

  If it is determined in step S35 that the driver has not been registered in the license DB 321 of the depot server 304, the process proceeds to step S36, and the terminal device 301 transmits the driver information received from the RF tag 42 in step S31 to the depot server 304. Then, the depot server 304 registers the driver information transmitted from the terminal device 301 in the license DB 321.

  If it is determined in step S35 that the driver has been registered in the license DB 321 of the depot server 304 (when driver information of the driver is registered in the license DB 321), or after the processing in step S36, the process proceeds to step S37. The terminal device 301 determines whether or not the current date exceeds the expiration date of the driver's license 51 in the driver information of the driver who is the owner of the driver's license 51 stored in the license holder 41.

  If it is determined in step S37 that the current date exceeds the expiration date of the driver's license 51 in the driver information, the process proceeds to step S38, and the terminal device 301 exceeds the expiration date of the driver's license 51. Alarm information for notifying that the user is doing is output to a display or a speaker. Based on the alarm information, the display or speaker of the terminal device 301 outputs a message to that effect and proceeds to step S39.

  In step S39, the terminal device 301 transmits information indicating that the driver's license 51 has expired to the depot server 304. The depot server 304 receives the information and receives the license DB 321 (FIG. 13). Update. Thereby, for example, the manager of the company XYZ (depot X) that manages the delivery business of the shipping company A has a driver whose driving license 51 has expired among the drivers of the shipping company A. It is possible to grasp this, and it is possible to instruct the transportation company A about the illegal action of the driver. Then, the process proceeds to step S43.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S37 that the current date does not exceed the expiration date of the driver's license 51 in the driver information, the process proceeds to step S40, and the terminal device 301 determines that the driver information in the driver information It is determined whether or not the score due to traffic accidents or violations exceeds a predetermined standard. Here, the predetermined standard means a reference score in a range in which the driver's license holder does not receive administrative suspension of suspension or cancellation of the driver's license. For example, in the case of a driver who has no previous history of administrative sanctions, the minimum score for administrative cessation of suspension or cancellation of a driver's license is 6 points, and thus the predetermined standard for this driver is 6 points.

  If it is determined in step S40 that the score due to the traffic accident or violation of the driver is equal to or greater than the predetermined standard, the process proceeds to step S38, and the terminal device 301 has exceeded the expiration date of the driver's license 51 described above. Instead of the alarm information to the effect, alarm information indicating that the score due to a traffic accident or violation of the driver is greater than or equal to a predetermined standard is output to a display or a speaker. Based on the alarm information, the display or speaker of the terminal device 301 outputs a message to that effect and proceeds to step S39.

  In step S39, the terminal device 301 transmits to the depot server 304 information indicating that the score due to the traffic accident or violation of the driver is greater than or equal to a predetermined standard, and the depot server 304 receives the information and stores the license DB 321. Update. Then, the process proceeds to step S43.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S40 that the score due to the driver's traffic accident or violation is less than a predetermined standard, the process proceeds to step S41, and the terminal device 301 determines that the driver's arrival time is the current time. The operation information is transmitted to the depot server 304. The depot server 304 receives the operation information from the terminal device 301 and registers it in the operation DB 322. Here, the departure time of this driver record is still empty (blank).

  When the driver finishes loading the cargo into the truck and leaves the depot X, the driver holds the license holder 41 containing the driver's license 51 again over the antenna of the reader / writer 302 or the antenna. Go through the embedded gate. At this time, the reader / writer 302 reads the driver information again from the RF tag 42 of the license holder 41 and transmits it to the terminal device 301. The terminal device 301 receives the driver information from the reader / writer 302, confirms the driver (which driver is the driver), adds (updates) the current time as the departure time of the driver to the driver operation information, The driver operation information is transmitted to the depot server 304. The depot server 304 receives the operation information from the terminal device 301, registers (updates) it in the operation DB 322 (FIG. 13), and proceeds to step S43.

  In step S43, the depot server 304 transmits the driver information and operation information (data thereof) stored in the license DB 321 and the operation DB 322 to the integrated server 25 via the LAN 303 and the network 24, respectively. In the integrated server 25, the driver information and the operation information (data thereof) transmitted from the depot server 304 are stored in the license DB 631 and the operation DB 632, respectively, and the process ends.

  The depot server 304 may transmit all the driver information and operation information data stored in the license DB 321 and the operation DB 322 each time when transmitting the driver information and the operation information to the integrated server 25. Only the processed data may be transmitted.

  As described above, when the driver arrives at the depot X or departs from the depot X, the driver information of the driver is surely transmitted from the RF tag 42 to the reader / writer 302. Since the driver's license 51 is sealed in the license holder 41 to which the RF tag 42 is attached as described above, the fact that the driver information is transmitted to the reader / writer 302 indicates that the driver has the driver's license 51. Indicates that you are carrying Therefore, in the company XYZ, it can be confirmed whether the driver carries the driver's license 51 or not.

  In addition, since it is confirmed whether or not the driver is the person himself / herself by fingerprint authentication, the driver can be prevented from being impersonated.

  In addition, the company XYZ can check if the current date exceeds the expiry date of the driver's license 51 or if the driver's traffic accident or violation score is above a predetermined standard. , Can prevent and manage illegal acts of drivers in advance.

  That is, the quality of the driver can be managed.

  In addition, since the departure time and arrival time of each driver are also stored in the operation DB 322 or 332, for example, the time taken for delivery (from the departure of the depot X to the next arrival time) is counted. It is also possible to manage driver skills in consideration of the relationship between the driver's working hours and the number of delivery destinations.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 16, a driver confirmation process for causing the operator to confirm the driver's license 51 carried by the driver according to a command from the depot server 304 of the depot X will be described. This driver confirmation process is performed for each driver when the number of times the driver information has been received reaches a predetermined number, at regular intervals such as one month, or randomly (in a random manner). Can do.

  First, in step S61, the depot server 304 transmits driver's license presentation request information, which is information indicating that the driver's license 51 is requested, to the terminal device 301 via the LAN 303, and proceeds to step S62.

  In step S62, when the terminal device 301 receives the driving license presentation request information from the depot server 304, the terminal device 301 comes to the delivery service to the depot X and requests the driver who has performed fingerprint authentication to present the driving license 51. Is output from a display or a speaker. That is, the terminal device 301 outputs an image or a sound requesting presentation of the driver's license 51 to a display or a speaker, and ends the process.

  As a result, the driver's license 51 is presented to the driver, the operator in the terminal device 301 visually confirms the driver's license 51 presented by the driver, and the information written in the driver's license 51 is stored in the license DB 321. It is possible to check whether there is any difference from the (registered) information. In addition, driver impersonation can be prevented.

  Instead of the depot server 304, the driver license presentation request information may be transmitted from the integrated server 25 to the terminal device 301.

  Next, FIG. 17 shows a configuration example of another embodiment of a driver management system to which the present invention is applied. In addition, about the part corresponding to FIG. 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In FIG. 17, the company XYZ, the shipping company A, the shipping company B, and the shipping company C have the same configuration as that described in FIG. 33 is connected to the network 24.

  Thus, for example, when the driver registration process described with reference to FIG. 14 is performed in the information input system 31, the information input system 31 transmits the driver information of the driver via the network 24 to the management systems 21, 22, and 22. 23 and the integrated server 25.

  In this case, since the driver information of the shipping company A is also shared by the company XYZ (license DBs 321 and 331, etc.), the license number, driver name, and shipping company shown in FIG. Only the license number among the name, the type of the driver's license, the expiration date of the driver's license 51, the number of points due to a traffic accident or violation, and the file name of the fingerprint information can be stored. Therefore, since the amount of information stored in the RF tag 42 can be small, the storage capacity of the EEPROM 244 of the RF tag 42 can be reduced.

  Also, the driver information of the drivers of the shipping company A, the shipping company B, and the shipping company C is registered (stored in the RF tag 42) in any of the management systems 21 to 23 of the depots X to Z of the company XYZ. You may do it. In that case, each of the information input systems 31 to 33 of the shipping companies A to C can be omitted.

  FIG. 18 is a back view showing another configuration example of the license holder 41 of FIG. In addition, about the part corresponding to FIG. 3, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In FIG. 3, the antenna 91 and the IC chip module 92 are affixed to a part (on the right side) of the back surface of the license holder 41. In this case, the driver tries to open the driver's license 51 without dividing the antenna 91, and places other than the place where the antenna 91 and the IC chip module 92 are attached (for example, the left side in FIG. 3). There is a risk of opening it intentionally.

  In order to prevent such opening, the license holder 41 shown in FIG. 18 is arranged such that the antenna 91 passes through the four sides of the substantially rectangular license holder 41 and the surface of the license holder 41 (not shown). And pasted on both sides of the back.

  Thus, in order to open and take out the driver's license 51 by opening the license holder 41, even if the driver's license 51 is not opened according to the cut line 93, a part of the antenna 91 can be surely divided.

  19A to 19C are diagrams showing still another configuration example of the license holder 41 of FIG. In addition, about the part corresponding to FIG. 3, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted. In FIG. 19, the driver's license 51 and the IC chip module 92 are not shown.

  FIG. 19A shows the license compartment 41 before the driver's license 51 is sealed.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the license holder 41 includes a bag-like storage portion 701 (portion indicated by oblique lines) for storing the driver's license 51, sealing portions 702 connected to both sides of the storage portion 701, and 703.

  The driver's license 51 is stored in a rectangular storage unit 701. That is, a predetermined side of the storage unit 701 is open, and the driver's license 51 is stored from the opened part.

  Then, the driver's license 51 is sealed as follows.

  After the driver's license 51 is stored in the storage unit 701, along the fold lines P1 and P2, each of the sealing units 702 and 703 is valley-folded (toward the front of the drawing) as shown in FIG. 19B. The

  Further, along the crease lines Q1 and Q2, each of the sealing portions 702 and 703 is mountain-folded (in the depth direction of the drawing) as shown in FIG. 19C.

  The surfaces of the license holder 41 that are folded and in contact with each other are bonded so as not to be easily peeled off with an adhesive or the like.

  Thus, in order to open and take out the driver's license 51 by opening the license holder 41, even if the driver's license 51 is not opened according to the cut line 93, a part of the antenna 91 can be surely divided.

  Further, if a transparent metal material is used for the antenna 91, it is possible to prevent the driver from knowing where the antenna 91 is arranged without impairing the beauty.

  The arrangement (wiring) of the antenna 91 and the method of sealing the driver's license 51 are not limited to the arrangement and sealing method shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.

  In the above-described example, the RF tag 42 is attached to the license holder 41. However, the RF tag 42 may be embedded in the license holder 41, for example.

  In the present specification, the steps described in the flowcharts are executed in parallel or individually even if they are not necessarily processed in time series, as well as processes performed in time series in the described order. It also includes processing.
