Description

  The present invention relates to a left-behind item preventive device that provides a chance to check whether or not a user is carrying a cellular phone, a wallet, a key, or the like when going out. .

  Since there are a wide variety of things to carry when going out, such as mobile phones, wallets, keys, etc., it is often the case that one or several of these are taken out without being carried. In particular, mobile phones are easy to forget and are often confused because they are not at hand when needed on the go.

  Therefore, various instruments, devices, and systems for preventing lost items have been proposed. As the most convenient one, there is a ring for preventing forgotten items (see, for example, Patent Document 1). It was thought based on the idea of giving the user a sense of incongruity by putting this ring on the finger, and letting the user always recognize the meaning of fitting the ring so as to eliminate forgotten things.

  According to the invention described in Patent Document 1, there is an advantage that the configuration is simple and a power source is not required, but the user feels uncomfortable while wearing a ring for preventing forgotten things, and the usability is not good. Therefore, it is not used favorably. Also, since it moves with the user and always gives the user a sense of incongruity, he / she feels uncomfortable, and when he tries to go out, he does not mind wearing a ring and forgets what to carry Sometimes. Therefore, the effect of preventing lost items cannot be expected. There are also attempts to eliminate things left behind by writing notes directly on the hands without using items such as rings to prevent things left behind, but there are many cases where the notes are not noticed, and a certain effect is expected. Can not.

Therefore, a forgotten object prevention apparatus or system using the latest communication technology and software technology has been proposed. One of the cellphones with a thing-left-behind prevention function described in Patent Document 2 is that when the “day setting mode” is set in the thing-left-behind prevention application, the control unit transmits radio waves to the IC tag detection unit with “small output”. The IC tag detection unit transmits a radio wave reaching a narrow range within a radius of about 1 m, reads the ID of the IC tag included in the return signal from the IC tag that has received this, and the control unit Based on the ID, a carry flag indicating that the carry item registration table is carried on that day is set to ON. According to the invention described in Patent Document 2, the lost article can be eliminated by notifying the user of the mobile phone of the lost article, and the registration of the belongings and the setting of the carried items before going out can be easily performed. .
A portable goods check system using a mobile phone and an IC tag or RFID is also described in Patent Document 3.

  Next, Patent Document 4 describes a forgotten item prevention system that determines whether there is a forgotten item when the owner of the baggage passes through a predetermined place and can notify the owner of the forgotten item. . The invention described in Patent Document 4 includes a wireless device, a monitoring device, and an information storage medium reading device. The wireless device has storage means for storing ID information and wireless response means for receiving communication request radio waves from the monitoring apparatus and transmitting ID information using response radio waves. The monitoring device transmits / receives a communication request radio wave and receives a response radio wave, a registration means for registering ID information, and communication with a wireless device when the ID information is registered information when the ID information is received. Determination means for determining whether or not a warning is possible, and a warning signal transmission means. The information storage medium reader includes a reading unit that reads ID information from the information storage medium, a unit that transmits ID information to the monitoring device, and a warning unit that notifies that there is something left behind when a warning signal is received from the monitoring device. The information storage medium is attached to an article to be carried.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a left-behind preventive device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a left-behind preventive device according to the present invention, which is composed of three members: a first receiver 1, a second receiver 2, and a transfer member 3. The first and second receivers 1 and 2 and the transfer member 3 are block-shaped members having concave portions or convex portions. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first and second receivers 1 and 2 are convex portions 11. , 21 and the transfer member 3 has a recess 31. The first and second receivers 1 and 2 have substantially the same shape and the same size, and both convex portions 11 and 21 have the same size and the same protruding dimension. But the magnitude | size and shape of the main-body part of the 1st, 2nd receptacles 1 and 2 may mutually differ. The recess 31 of the transfer member 3 is approximately the same size as the projections 11 and 21 of the first and second receivers 1 and 2, and the depth is the same as or slightly the same as the projection size of the projections 11 and 21. It is deeper. Accordingly, the concave portion 31 can be fitted into the convex portions 11 and 21, so that the transfer member 3 can be attached to and integrated with the first receiver 1 or the second receiver 2. ing.

  Next, an example of how to use the above embodiment will be described. One of the first and second receivers 1 and 2, for example, the first receiver 1 is fixed inside the user's home, for example, the door 6 at home, and the second receiver 2 is carried by the user. For example, it is attached to the strap 5 extending from the mobile phone. FIG. 2 shows an example of this use. FIG. 2 (a) shows an aspect of going out, and FIG. 2 (b) shows an aspect of being at home. As shown in FIG. 2A, the transfer member 3 is attached to the receiver 2 on the mobile phone 4 side when going out. When returning home, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the transfer member 3 is detached from the mobile phone 4 side and attached to the receiver 1 attached to the door 6. And when going out, the transfer member 3 with which the receiving device 1 by the side of the door 6 was mounted | worn is removed, and this is mounted | worn with the receiving device 2 by the side of the mobile telephone 4.

The fixing means to the door 6 of the receptacle 1 is arbitrary. For example, a magnet that is adhered by a double-sided adhesive tape or that is fixed to the bottom surface of the receiver 1 may be attracted to the door 6 made of a magnetic material such as iron. Or you may make it make the said magnet built in the holder 1 and adsorb | suck to a door. When the door is made of a non-magnetic material such as wood, a magnet is fixed to the door 6 by adhesion or the like, and the magnet 1 or a magnet 1 containing the magnet 1 is attached to the magnet. Good.
In FIG. 2, the code | symbol 7 has shown the knob when opening and closing the door 6. FIG.

If one of the first and second receivers 1, 2, for example, the receiver 1 is attached to the door 6, the receiver 1 can be seen when trying to go out. You can see if it is installed. If the transfer member 3 is attached, it means that the mobile phone 4 is present in the home, and the user notices that he / she has forgotten the mobile phone. The transfer member 3 is removed from the side receiver 2 and transferred to the receiver 1 on the mobile phone 4 side to go out. In this way, when going out, it can be confirmed whether or not the mobile phone 4 is carried by whether or not the transfer member 3 is attached to the receiving member 1 on the door 6 side, and confirmation is prompted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mobile phone 4 from being forgotten.
Thus, according to the above embodiment, forgotten things can be effectively prevented by the simple configuration of only the first and second receivers 1 and 2 and the transfer member 3. It does not require a power source and does not require advanced state-of-the-art technology, so it can be used easily at an extremely low cost.

  It is necessary that the transfer member 3 is stably coupled to the first and second receivers 1 and 2 so as not to easily fall off. Therefore, when the fitting between the convex portions 11 and 21 of the first and second receivers 1 and 2 and the concave portion 31 of the transfer member 3 has a certain amount of frictional force, a so-called press-fit relationship is established. Good. Alternatively, a magnet is mounted on at least one side of the first and second receivers 1 and 2 or the transfer member 3 so as to be attracted by a magnetic attractive force, and at least the material on the other side is magnetized by the magnetic force. It's even better if you put it on your body. Alternatively, a mechanical coupling structure such as a screw-in type or a bayonet type may be employed.

  In the usage example shown in FIG. 2, the receiver 2 is attached to the strap 5 of the mobile phone 4. Therefore, the receiving device 2 may be provided with a mounting portion to the strap 5, for example, a hole for passing the strap 5, a hook, a fastener or the like. Alternatively, the fastener 2 may be fixed to both the carrying item such as the mobile phone 4 and the receiver 2, and the receiver 2 may be attached to the item by joining the flat fasteners together.

The relationship between the convex portions and the concave portions included in the first and second receivers 1 and 2 and the transition member 3 may be reversed. That is, the first and second receivers 1 and 2 may be provided with recesses, and the transition member 3 may be provided with protrusions that fit into the recesses.
Moreover, the shape of the convex part and recessed part with which the 1st, 2nd receptacles 1 and 2 and the transfer member 3 are provided will be arbitrary if it can mutually fit. For example, the linear convex part and recessed part which cross the 1st, 2nd receptacles 1 and 2 and the transfer member 3 to a horizontal direction or a vertical direction may be sufficient. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a columnar convex portion 11 and a cylindrical concave portion 31 that receives the convex portion 11 may be used. Although FIG. 5 shows an example in which the convex portion 11 is formed on the first receiver 1 and the concave portion 31 is formed on the transfer member 3, the concave portion is formed on the first receiver 1 and the convex portion is formed on the transition member 3. May be. The second receiver is formed in the same shape as the first receiver 1.

Next, various modifications of the present invention and other usage examples will be described.
The example shown in FIG. 3 is an example in which a card representing a certain message is fixed to a second receiver 2 attached to a portable item, for example, a cellular phone 4 via a strap 5. As an example of a message card, an elderly person, a sick person, or a physically handicapped person displays a card 8 indicating that he / she wants to give up his / her seat on a train or bus. There are cards 9 and the like, and other cards that display various intentions are conceivable.
The means for transmitting the message is not limited to the card as described above, but includes a memory in which the message is recorded, a small display for visually displaying the contents recorded in the memory, or a speaker for displaying the sound. It may be.

  As described with reference to FIG. 2, when the object to be left behind according to the embodiment is to be taken out, the transfer member 3 is removed from the holder 1 fixed to the door 6, and the receiver on the side of a portable item such as a mobile phone. However, it is possible to go out without forgetting to transfer the transfer member 3 from the receiving device 1 to the receiving device 2 on the side of the carried item. Therefore, when the door 6 is opened to try to go out with the transfer member 3 attached to the receiver 1 fixed to the door 6, the receiver 1 emits some sound by shaking the receiver 1 together with the door 6. It is good to incorporate a sounding device into 1. As the sound generation device, for example, a device having the same principle as that of a so-called “rattle” used for babies may be incorporated. More preferably, sounding is generated by shaking due to opening and closing of the door only when the transfer member 3 is mounted on the receiver 1, and sound generation is stopped when the transfer member 3 is not mounted. For example, when the transfer member 3 is mounted on the receiver 1, the sound generating device incorporated in the transfer member 3 is unlocked by a magnetic force, and the sound is generated by shaking when the door is opened and closed. When 3 is removed, the magnetic force is lost, the operation of the sounding device is locked, and the sounding stops. Alternatively, when the transfer member 3 is mounted on the receiver 1, the lever of the transfer member 3 is pushed to unlock the sounding device incorporated in the transfer member 3, and when the transfer member 3 is removed, the lever returns. Thus, the operation of the sound generator can be locked.

  In the case of a device equipped with a sounding device as described above, an alarm is not effective for a hearing-impaired person, so an alarm may be emitted by light. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a member 45 (hereinafter referred to as “base”) serving as a base of the receiver 1 is fixed to the inside of the door 6 of the home, and the first receiver is attached to the front surface of the base 45. The tool 1 is fixed. The base 45 incorporates a power supply battery and incorporates a light emitting element 46, for example, an LED. When the door 6 is opened and closed with the transfer member 3 attached to the receptacle 1, the light emitting element 46 emits light by detecting the movement of the door 6 and warns that the user has forgotten to take out the carry-on item. . As the alarm, for example, vibration by a vibration motor may be used.

  According to the technical idea of the present invention, the configuration of the first and second receivers and the transfer member can be made simpler than the embodiments described so far. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is one of them, and reference numeral 43 indicates a cross-shaped transfer member. The transfer member 43 is attached with an opening / closing ring 16 that is generally referred to as “Naskan” and that can be partially opened and closed. A ring 42 is attached to the strap 5 of the mobile phone 4 which is an example of a carry-on item, and this ring 42 plays the same role as the second receiver in the above-described embodiment. A hook 41 that plays the same role as the first receiving member in the above embodiment is attached to the inside of the door 6 in the home of the user of the mobile phone 4. When the user of the mobile phone 4 returns to the home, the transfer member 43 is removed from the ring 42 of the mobile phone 4 and hung on the hook 41. When the user goes out, the transfer member 43 is removed from the hook 41, and the opening / closing ring 16 is hooked on the ring 42 of the mobile phone 4 to connect the transfer member 43 to the mobile phone 4. If you forget to carry the mobile phone 4 and go out, you will see the transfer member 43 that is hung on the hook 41, so you hold the mobile phone 4, move the transfer member 43 to the mobile phone 4, and go out. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a bell 50 is suspended from the door 6. Since the bell 50 rings due to the vibration of the door 6 when the door 6 is opened and closed, there is an effect of prompting the user to confirm whether there is anything left behind when going out.

According to the said Example, the technical idea of the thing-left-behind prevention tool based on this invention is realizable with a simpler structure. FIG. 9 also shows an embodiment in which the technical idea of the present invention can be realized with a simpler configuration. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, the transfer member 3 in the embodiment described above is attracted to a flat magnet 33 fixed to the door 6 of the home. Therefore, the magnet 33 in this embodiment constitutes a first receiver.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9B, a loop-like string 34 is attached to the transfer member 3, the hook 41 described in the above-described embodiment is attached to the door 6 of the home, and the string 34 is hooked on the hook 41. It is what I did. Therefore, the hook 41 in this embodiment constitutes a first receiver.

  FIG. 4 shows another example of use of the left-behind item prevention device according to the present invention. Since there are usually not only mobile phones but also a plurality of items to be carried, it is preferable to use as many forgotten object prevention tools according to the present invention as the number corresponding to the number of items to be carried. FIG. 4 shows an example of this, and if there are four items to be carried, four forgotten article prevention tools A, B, C, and D are used. FIG. 4 shows that among the first and second receivers 1 and 2 and the transfer member 3 constituting the four forgotten article preventers, four first receivers 1 are attached to the door 4 at the user's home. It shows how it is. When the user goes out, forget the four items by removing the transfer member from the four receptacles 1 for each of the four items and attaching them to the corresponding receptacles on the side of the items. It is possible to check whether or not he / she was carried.

  The usage mode shown in FIG. 4 can also be used as a home status display device for family members when there are multiple families. For example, it is assumed that the entire family has a mobile phone, and the left-behind prevention device according to the present invention is used for the mobile phones of the entire family, and the first receiver 1 is selected from the first and second receivers. It is attached inside the door 6 at home. When each family member comes home, the transfer member is removed from the receiver on the mobile phone side, and this is mounted on the specified receiver 1. Therefore, if the transfer member is attached to the receiver 1, it can be seen that one of the family members to which the receiver 1 is assigned is at home, and the family's home situation is determined by looking at all the receivers 1. I understand. Also, each family member can confirm whether or not he / she has forgotten to carry the mobile phone by checking whether or not the transfer member is attached to the assigned receptacle 1 when going out. it can.

In the case where a plurality of people use the lost article preventive tool as in the above example of use, it is convenient to use the lost article preventer according to the embodiment shown in FIG. The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 (a) has a base 48 to which a plurality of first receivers 1 are attached, and each of the receivers 1 is used by being assigned to each family member, for example. One person can manage his / her items. However, the method of use is arbitrary for the user, and one user may manage a plurality of items. The base 48 is provided with a light emitting element 49 that displays that the base 48 is in operation, or that lights up and issues an alarm if a transfer member is attached to one of the receivers 1. .
The embodiment shown in FIG. 10B is an example in which one receiver 1 is attached to one base 50. A light emitting element 51 that emits an alarm as described above is attached to the base 50. When the number of people who use this lost article prevention device increases, or when the number of items that are subject to lost article prevention increases, the number of lost article prevention devices is increased and the first receptacle 1 is attached to the outside of the base 50. .

  FIG. 11 shows an embodiment of a left-behind preventive device that also serves as a key holder. In FIG. 11, reference numeral 44 denotes a key, and 55 denotes a bag-like key holder. The key holder 55 includes a bag-like portion that wraps around the base portion of the key 44 when the key 44 is inserted, and a hole through which the main body portion of the key 44 penetrates is formed at the bottom thereof. It has a loop-like string 56 that can be hung on the hook 41 that forms the receiving portion. FIG. 11A shows a state before the key 44 is inserted into the key holder 55, and FIG. 11B shows a state where the key 44 is inserted into the key holder 55. The key holder 55 performs the same function as the transfer member described so far. When going out, the user carries the key 44 in the key holder 55 as shown in FIG. When returning to the home, the key 44 is extracted from the key holder 55, and the string 56 of the key holder 55 is hung on a hook attached to a door or the like. When going out, the key holder 55 is removed from the hook, the key 44 is inserted therein, and the key 44 is carried along with the key holder 55. Thus, the key 44 is not forgotten.

  The idea of a dress-up doll can also be adopted in the forgotten article prevention tool according to the present invention. That is, the first and second receivers are dolls that can be changed in clothes, and the transfer member is a clothes that can be put on the dolls. The clothes may be arbitrarily changed according to the user's preference, according to the season, or according to the mood. According to this embodiment, forgotten items can be eliminated while incorporating elements of hobbies. The idea of this dress-up doll can be developed in various ways according to the user's hobbies.

  If it is a forgotten article prevention tool of the same specification, the transfer member 3 can be exchanged between friends, for example, and a message can also be exchanged by attaching a message to the transfer member 3 at that time. The medium to which the message is attached may be paper attached to the transfer member 3, or a USB memory.

  By embedding an identification chip that does not require a power source, such as RFID, in the transfer member 3 and incorporating the identification chip reader and transmission / reception unit into a receiver attached to the home of the user's home or the like, individual items can be carried. It is possible to identify and store the history data in a computer or the like.

  The forgotten article preventive tool according to the present invention is not limited to a mobile phone, and can be used for any portable items. For example, if you use it for belongings that you need to carry when you go out, such as wallets, key holders, commuter pass holders, etc., you will not forget to carry these items, and you can supply them at low cost. Demand is expected.
