DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a search object management system for searching and managing search objects by mainly searching for search objects typified by medical files and the like and performing display control on corresponding portions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of searching and managing search objects such as files, if the number of search objects is large, the search objects are classified and stored according to the types of the search objects. In addition, the work of searching for a necessary object from the objects to be searched is usually performed manually.

[0003] However, since it is complicated to manually search for an object to be searched, a system for automatically searching for an object to be searched has recently been developed. An example of this is disclosed in
An individual search device for an object to be searched, such as a file, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 98067/980, and a file search system disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-48877.

In the former individual search device for a search object, a plurality of oscillators are connected to a computer main body, and receivers for receiving digital signals from the respective oscillators are directly connected to a large number of search objects. Objectively or indirectly,
Further, the search target is provided with a display for displaying the digital signal to the outside when the digital signal is received by the receiver. In the case of this individual search device, each search object receives and responds only to the digital signal oscillated from the computer through the oscillator corresponding to the unique address of each search object, and is attached to the search object. The display indicating that the digital signal has been received and responded to can be externally displayed by the display, so that the presence of a desired search target selected by a computer from among a large number of search targets can be known by the display. . As a result, a desired search target can be found out of a large number of search targets much more easily than in the case of manual operation.

On the other hand, in the latter file search system,
The parent file number data input by the searcher is output by ultrasound from the search parent device, and the parent file number data obtained by inputting the ultrasonic wave with the search child device attached to the file as the object to be searched. The data is compared with the preset unique child file number data, and only when they match, the light emission display is performed on the display unit provided on the search child device side. In the case of this file search system, there is no need for a special shelf structure for storing the files, and there is no need to arrange the files in numerical order or to arrange the back side by side.
Even when the number of files is large, it is convenient for the organization and management of each file.

Incidentally, recently, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-21131
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 8 (1993) -1995, it is possible to reliably manage via a computer whether or not a desired object to be searched is placed and stored on the object-to-be-searched shelf at the time of examination. An individual search device for an object to be searched such as a file has been proposed. In the individual search device for a search object, a transmission device that issues a predetermined search signal in accordance with a command from the host computer is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the search object mounting shelf, and the search object is provided to the transmission device. A receiving device having a connectable and identifiable display means is provided, and a desired one of the retrieval objects connected to the transmitting device is externally displayed on the display means so that the storage location can be searched instantaneously. By supplying driving power for the device from the transmitting device to the receiving device, it is not necessary to provide a power source for each receiving device (identifier attached to the object to be searched and having unique information).

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-9
In the case of an individual search device for an object to be searched such as a file disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 8067, a microcomputer, a memory, a communication circuit for using a digital signal for each object to be searched, and a power supply unit for supplying power thereto Since the configuration is provided with a receiver having an electronic circuit including, if there are a large number of objects to be searched, the number of receivers attached to them is necessary, so that the cost tends to be relatively high, and Not only does such maintenance take time, but when the receiver breaks down, it takes time to replace it.

The file retrieval system disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-48877 has an advantage that the file arrangement can be freely arranged. It is necessary that an equivalent configuration be provided on the search slave unit side, and in this case, there is a similar problem as in the case where the above-mentioned search target is provided with the receiver.

In particular, this file search system discloses a case in which a solar cell is used as an example of a power supply unit of an electronic circuit. However, if a solar cell is used, the sunshine in a special room or the like is poor, and the amount of light by illumination is insufficient. If the installation location of the solar cell is restricted, as in the case where the solar cell is used under conditions that cannot be ensured, stable power storage cannot be obtained and application becomes difficult.

Further, in the case of an individual search device for an object to be searched such as a file disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-21318,
It is not necessary to provide a power supply or an electronic circuit for each receiving device (identifying body attached to the object to be searched and having unique information), and the desired object to be searched placed on the shelf is not required. By externally displaying the display means of the transmitting device in a plurality of different colors at the time of the test, there is an advantage that the storage location can be reliably searched for multiple purposes.

However, in the case of this individual search device,
The number (unique information) of an object to be searched, such as a file to be searched, is signaled from the management computer and searched, and at the time of searching, an instruction signal for emitting light of a specific emission color is transmitted. Since the displayed contents are notified while checking the number, for example, archived documents bound in the file of the search target include multiple items in multiple categories such as medical charts, etc. If a quick response is required due to the need for ranking, the operation is not performed smoothly, and it takes time and effort to manage the display of the search target.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its technical problem is that even if the number of objects to be searched is large, a desired object to be searched can be swiftly and simply searched with high functionality. An object of the present invention is to provide a search object management system that can be displayed and that can be simply configured without including an electronic circuit in an identifier attached to the search object and having unique information.

A predetermined number (here, seven) of shelf plates 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 for storing and mounting a predetermined number of plates 2
Management cabinet 4 including four shelves 10 _x1 to 10 _x7 each having the same, and an electric circuit unit to be described later provided on each of the shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7.
And consists of

As shown in FIG. 3, each of the shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 is provided with an identification code such as a bar code as unique information from the identification plate 2 as a component constituting an electric circuit portion. An identification code detection section 8 as an information detection section for detecting and outputting a code detection signal, and a plurality of colored light emission as display visible light elements for displaying the identification display section 2a of the identification plate 2 with different emission colors. An element (here, a red LED and a green LED are shown), an optical element controller 7 for controlling light emission for each colored light emitting element, and information processing for identifying the identification plate 2 from the identification code based on the code detection signal. An information processing management unit 6 for performing the information processing is provided.

Here, the information processing management section 6 receives a predetermined operation instruction from the information processing management apparatus 4, which is a higher-level apparatus, and performs information processing for identifying the identification board 2 from the identification code based on the code detection signal. In accordance with the result of the information processing, the optical element control unit 7 is instructed to select the identification display unit 2a of the identification plate 2 corresponding to the specific one of the colored light emitting elements and to control the light emission. Do. An optical element controller 7 including an LED driver and the like according to the control instruction
As a result of the light emission control for each color light emitting element, the identification display unit 2a can perform visible display by different emission colors for each classification.

Further, the information processing management unit 6 stores the file 1 on a predetermined number of shelves as additional information on the file 1.
Of the external communication I /
It has a communication function for receiving an operation instruction from an F (interface) 9 and instructing the optical element controller 7 to issue a control instruction in accordance with the storage number of the file 1. For this reason, the information processing management section 6 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a storage device, and also includes a shelf board computer having I / O (input / output) and communication functions.

Further, the information processing management section 6 transmits a control instruction to the optical element control section 7 in accordance with a predetermined operation instruction from the information processing management apparatus 4 as a higher-level device with reference to the storage number of the file 1 in a predetermined display pattern. Do with. Examples of the predetermined display pattern include color change with a specific luminescent color and another luminescent color different from this, continuous lighting for a predetermined time based on the designated and selected luminescent color, flashing with a variable tempo for a predetermined time, and the like. Can be Here, by performing color type selection (including mixed colors) and lighting type selection (including variable tempo blinking) for each colored light emitting element, search display can be performed for various purposes. Each colored light-emitting element has a different light-emitting color and a specific light-emitting color is selected. However, at least two kinds of visible light-emitting colors relating to these light-emitting elements, for example, a mixture of red and green becomes yellow. As in the case described above, selection is made so that colors that are color-synthesized with each other to exhibit further different visible luminescent colors are included (in the above-described case, the red LED and the green LED are simultaneously illuminated), and the different visible luminescent colors that are color-synthesized are selected. You may use it.

As shown in FIG. 2, the identification plate 2 is provided with an identification code at one end in the longitudinal direction, and uses the inclined surface of the inclined portion at the other end in the short direction as an initial reflecting surface. One end opposite to the other end in the short direction is formed as an identification display section 2a by reflecting, transmitting, and condensing light emitted from each colored light emitting element. In the case where the identification plate 2 has another shape having no inclined portion, or the position where the identification plate 2 is attached to the file 1 (search object) is different from the position shown in FIG. Each colored light emitting element is also provided at a different position accordingly.

The information processing management device 4 mainly has a file management computer 4b as a terminal device which stores a predetermined operation instruction at the time of search display to the information processing management unit 6 and an operation program for performing information processing accompanying the instruction.
And a host computer 4a for controlling and managing the processing operation of the file management computer 4b. The file management computer 4b also performs information processing on lighting (light emission control) on each of the shelf display units _3x1 to _3x7 according to the operation instruction.

The identification code detecting section 8 functions as an ID number reading section for reading an identification code (ID number) assigned to the identification plate 2, and each of the shelf boards _{5x1 to} 5x5.
_x7 is provided at a position where the identification code attached to each identification plate 2 can be detected, and the number thereof is provided as one per shelf plate, or the number of files 1 and It is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the number of identification plates 2.

In the file search management system having such a configuration, once all the identification codes of the identification plate 2 to be searched are registered once on the information processing management device 4 side,
A specific file 1 and an identification plate 2 are once pulled out from a specific shelf among the respective shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 , and then, in a form corresponding to the storage number of the file 1 without returning to the original position. Although the identification code of the identification board 2 can be managed on the information processing management device 4 side, as for the search display before the specific file 1 and the identification board 2 are _{pulled out} , each information on each of the shelf boards 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 is displayed. Since the process management unit 6 stores the storage numbers of the respective files 1, the visible display on the target identification display unit 2a can be selected and designated by different emission colors for each classification and used for multiple purposes.

That is, in this file search management system, a code detection signal required for a location search between the information processing management unit 6 and the specific file 1 and the identification board 2 on each of the shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 and each The drive signal of the lighting display for the colored light emitting element is separately handled, and the visible lighting of the display is instructed from the information processing management device 4 to an arbitrary information processing management unit 6 on each of the shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7. Performed separately or all at once. Further, since no electric circuit or optical element is provided on the file 1 and the identification plate 2 side, handling of the file 1 and the identification plate 2 is simplified.

Although this file search management system can be used in various forms, when searching for a specific file 1 and identification plate 2 on a specific shelf, the locations of all files 1 and identification plates 2 are identified. Since the information is always collected by the information processing management unit 6 by the detection of the code, and since each information processing management unit 6 stores the storage number of each file 1, the specific file 1 and the identification plate 2 are displayed. To do so, an operation instruction is given on the information processing management device 4 side, or an operation instruction is given via an external communication I / F (interface) 9, so that the identification display section 2 of the corresponding identification plate 2 is provided.
a can be quickly turned on by the control instruction of the information processing management unit 6. Also, at the time of visible lighting at this time, the identification display portion 2a is uniformly lit in red for other files 1 and the identification plate 2 from among the above-mentioned ones as a predetermined display pattern, for example. Identification file 2 for a particular file 1 and identification plate 2
If “a” is lit in green, when a particular file 1 on a particular shelf board is to be pulled out (taken out of the warehouse), an urgency arises, and priorities can be assigned to function and used effectively.

Therefore, the archived document bound in the file 1 to be searched is content-specifically multi-class and includes many items, such as a medical chart, and a priority is required in an emergency to promptly respond. Even in such a case, the search display is operated smoothly, and the display management of the file 1 is simplified without any trouble and time.

By the way, in such a file search management system, each of the shelf display sections 3 of the respective shelf boards 5 _{x1 to} 5 _{x 7} is further provided.
_x1 to _3x7 can also be displayed in different visible luminescent colors. That is, for this case the shelf plates 5 _x1 to 5 _x7, another plurality of colored exhibit different visible emission colors respectively to enable display each shelf display unit 3 _x1 to 3 _{x 7} with different visible emission color A light emitting element (not shown, but also using a red LED and a green LED here) and another optical element control unit (not shown) for controlling light emission of each of the colored light emitting elements are respectively provided. In this case, the information processing management device 4 causes a different optical element controller to select a specific one of the colored light emitting elements and perform light emission control in accordance with a predetermined operation instruction.

In other words, when such a function is provided, the visible display in each of the shelf display sections 3 _{x1 to} 3 _x7 is selected and designated for each classification with different emission colors, and rough distinction with respect to each of the shelf boards 5 _{x1 to} 5 _{x7 is made.} When the total number of the files 1 is large, it is possible to simplify the collective management according to the classification on each of the shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 .

Incidentally, regarding the visible display in each of the shelf display portions 3 _{x1 to} 3 _x7 , the identification display portion 2 of the identification plate 2 is also used.
As in the case of a, a predetermined display pattern is used, or at least two types of visible light-emitting colors for each colored light-emitting element are also combined with each other to be selected so as to include a different visible light-emitting color. You may make it use different visible light emission colors which were color-combined.

In short, in the case of this file search management system, the function of selecting and designating the visible display in each identification display section 2a by different emission colors for each classification and promptly displaying the search _results , and each shelf display section 3 _{x1 to} 3 _x7 And a function of roughly classifying and discriminating the file 1 on each of the shelves 5 _{x1 to} 5 _{x 7} can be obtained by combining the latter function with the former function. Even when the file 1 itself needs to be searched and displayed quickly and finely for a variety of purposes, the management of the file 1 is smoothly operated by using the colors in accordance with the priorities.

Therefore, the following description relates to the information processing management unit 6 having the communication function, and some folders in the case where the folder having the configuration in which the discrimination plate 2 is attached to the target file 1 are regarded as search and display targets. The operation process for each usage pattern will be described.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the information processing management unit 6 when a delivery error detection display function for a folder is constructed.

Here, when the operation is first started, it is determined whether or not the target folder is on its own shelf (step S1).
As a result, if the folder is not on the own shelf, it is determined whether or not the folder has been returned (step S2). If the target folder has been returned, the storage process is performed. If the target folder has not been returned, the process returns to a standby state before this determination (step S2).

On the other hand, it is determined whether or not the target folder is on the own shelf (step S1). If the target folder is on the own shelf, it is determined whether or not the folder is continuously extracted (step S3).
Is done. If the target folder has been extracted, it is subsequently determined whether or not the folder is a folder for which a delivery instruction has been issued (step S4). The element is in a light emitting state irrespective of the presence or absence of the corresponding folder), but if the folder has not been extracted, the process returns to the standby state before this determination (step S3).

Further, if the target folder has been extracted and it is the folder for which delivery is instructed, a delivery completion notification is sent to the file management system computer 4a (step S5) and the corresponding LED (corresponding folder identification display). The process ends after the colored light-emitting element corresponding to the unit 2a is turned off (step S6). However, if the target folder has been extracted and it is not the folder instructed to be delivered, the delivery failure to the file management system computer 4a has occurred. performing notification (step S7) shelf display unit 3 _x1 ~ at each shelf 10 _x1 to 10 _x4 corresponding to the appropriate folder from
One of 3 _{× 7} is displayed as a delivery error (step S
From 8), it is determined whether or not the delivery mistake has been resolved (step S9). As a result, if resolved, the corresponding LE
D (colored light emitting element corresponding to any one of the corresponding shelf display units 3 _{x1 to} 3 _x7 ) is turned off (step S10) and the process is terminated. If not canceled, this determination process (step S9). And returns to the standby state.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the information processing management unit 6 when a storage error detection display function for a folder is constructed.

Here, first, it is determined whether or not the target folder has been stored in the own shelf (step S1). If the folder has not been stored, the process ends. If the folder has been stored, the folder is identified. The colored light-emitting element corresponding to the display unit 2a is lit in red (step S2), and then a "stock notification" is transmitted to the file management system computer 4a, which means that the folder corresponding to the own shelf has been entered (step S2). Step S3). Incidentally, in this file management search system, the folder may be stored on any of the shelves, and when the file management system computer 4a receives the "warehouse notification" at this time, its ID number (ID
No. As a result of judging whether or not the folder of ()) can be put in the corresponding shelf, if it is good, the storage relationship of the folder to the corresponding shelf is stored. As in the case of the delivery instruction of the above, for example, "entry mistake delivery" is transmitted as the content meaning the delivery instruction to the folder, and the fact of the receipt mistake is reported to a printer device or the like.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the receipt has been confirmed (step S4). As a result, if the warehousing confirmation has been made, the processing corresponding to the identification display section 2a of the folder is lit in red (step S5) meaning that "the warehousing confirmation is OK", and then the processing is terminated, but the warehousing confirmation must be made. BA (NG
Is received), the colored light-emitting element corresponding to the identification display section 2a of the corresponding folder is flashed in red quickly (step S6), and then the folder is extracted. Determine whether or not (step S7)
I do. If the corresponding folder has been extracted, the color light emitting element (LED) corresponding to the folder is turned off (step S8) and the process is terminated. If the folder has been extracted, before this determination (step S7). To return to the standby state.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the information processing management section 6 in the case of constructing a delivery error detection display function when a folder for which delivery is not instructed is extracted.

Here, first, the I of the extracted folder
The D number (ID No.) is notified to the file management system computer 4a as "incorrect delivery notification" (step S1).
At this time, the file management system computer 4a
Upon receipt of the "erroneous delivery notification", the folder is recognized as "out of the shelf", and a delivery failure is reported to a printer device or the like. Thereafter, one of the shelf display sections 3 _{x1 to} 3 _x7 in which the folder exists is displayed as a shelf _failure display using the shelf display LED (step S2), and the shelf display LED is turned off at a predetermined time setting (step S2). After S3), the process ends.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the information processing management unit 6 when the file 1 of the folder is a medical file and a retrieval display function is constructed.

Here, when the ID number (ID No.) of the identification plate 2 and the display type code relating to the target folder are received (step S1), it is determined whether or not there is a delivery instruction (step S2). If there is no instruction, it is determined that the entry is completed. If there is an exit instruction, subsequently, it is determined whether a folder corresponding to the ID number exists in the own shelf (step S3). As a result, if the folder does not exist, the process is terminated. If the folder does exist, a “delivery acceptance” notification is continuously sent to the file management system computer 4a (step S).
From 4), multi-purpose classification items (ie, return date, rebooking, urgent, new case, examination sheet meaning outgoing to put test results in file, mistaken entry, and file transfer to another location) (Including purge meaning delivery) (step S5), and the colored light-emitting element corresponding to the corresponding identification display section 2a is turned on / off in a predetermined display pattern corresponding to each selected item. However, if the file management system computer 4a does not receive a "delivery completion" notification from any of the shelves within a predetermined time, the file management system computer 4a recognizes the folder as "out of the shelf" and informs the printer apparatus of that fact. Etc.

[0050] In this case, to perform the fast blinking in green in the case of reincarnation on the day (step S6 _1), to perform the slow flashing in green in the case of reincarnation reservation (step S6 _2), in case of an emergency the lighting in the mixing colors to perform the blink rapidly at (yellow green and red composite color) (step S6 _3), mixed colors in the case of new patients (yellow green and red synthetic color) to perform (step S6 _4), to perform the lighting in the green in the case of inspection prescription (step S6 _5), to perform the fast flashing in red in the case of warehousing miss (step S6 _6), the case of a purge to carry out the sequential lighting alternately in red and green (step S6 ₇₎
You. In either case, different emission colors can be used as priorities, and after these processes, it is determined whether or not the corresponding folder has been extracted (step S).
7) Yes.

As a result, if the folder has not been extracted, the process returns before this determination (step S7) to be in a standby state.
Is turned off, the file management system computer 4a is notified of "delivery completed" (step S8), and the process ends. When the file management system computer 4a receives "delivery completed", the extracted folder is recognized as "out of the shelf".
The destination can also be managed (for example, a case where the destination is changed to a shelf in another file search management system in another department).

Incidentally, in the file search management system of the embodiment, the identification display section 2a of each identification board 2 and each shelf display section _3x1.
The selection of the predetermined display pattern and the emission color for _{.about.3.times.7} should be arbitrarily selected according to the classification of the file 1 and the purpose of use, and the processing operations described with reference to FIGS. Therefore, these are not limited to the disclosed contents. Further, the number of the respective shelf plates 5 _{x1 to} 5 _x7 in each of the shelves 10 _x1 to 10 _x4 can be changed as required, and is not limited to the disclosed one. Further, in the embodiment, the file search management system in the case where the search target is the file 1 has been described. However, the present invention can be applied to a case where another search target is targeted.

[0053]

As described above, according to the search object management system of the present invention, the identification information itself (identification plate) attached to the search object is directly provided with the unique information. The information display management unit (shelf board computer) provided on the shelf board has additional information on the shelf (the storage of the object to be searched). Number), and manages the unique information by referring to the additional information by an operation instruction from a higher-level device (information processing management device) or an operation instruction by an external communication I / F (interface), and controls the optical element control unit. Since the indication is given and the visible display in the identification display unit is selected and designated by different emission colors, the desired search object can be quickly and easily searched and displayed with high functionality. But maybe in content The search display is operated smoothly even when priority is requested in an emergency and prompt response is required, and the display management of the search object can be performed smoothly and without time and effort. Done and simplified.

Also, in the case of this search object management system, if all of the unique information relating to each of the usable identification search units is registered in the higher-level device (information processing management device), the search object and the identification information are used. Even if the search handset is pulled out and returned to another position instead of the original position, the unique information of the search handset for identification is transmitted to the host device, and there is no hindrance to the basic function of search and display operation. , The return position of the object to be searched and the search subunit for identification can be made arbitrary,
In addition, at the time of visual display, the information processing management unit (shelf board computer) always collects the unique information of the identification search unit (identification board) and stores the additional information (storage number of the object to be searched). Therefore, it is possible to extremely quickly perform the identification display unit of the target search subunit (identification plate) separately from the search.

Further, in the case of the searched object management system,
Since the display pattern of the identification display unit of the identification search unit and the display unit of the shelf display unit can be arbitrarily selected according to the type of the object to be searched and the purpose of use, for example, the delivery destination, emergency retrieval, receipt confirmation, entry / exit mistake, It is possible to perform search display for multiple purposes such as display of retrieval type etc., so that management of the search object can be very convenient, and the search subunit for identification does not have an electronic circuit It does not require any power supply to the power supply unit, is simply constructed and provided at low cost, and requires maintenance and replacement work as in the case where the discriminator has an electronic circuit as before. Without needing
