  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a watching information sharing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The watching information sharing system 1 of FIG. 1 includes a first information terminal 3 carried by a watching target person 2, a second information terminal 5 operated by a first visiting person 4 who meets the watching target person 2, and an output device 6. Is equipped with.

  It is assumed that the first visitor 4 in the present embodiment regularly visits the watching target person 2. The visit place is not particularly limited, but is the home of the watching target person 2, for example. Here, "home" refers to the current residence of the person 2 to be watched, and in addition to the original home of the person 2 to be watched, when the person 2 to be watched currently resides in a place other than home. Means to include the place where you are currently living.

  The first visitor 4 is, for example, a person dispatched from a business operator who provides a watching service. Therefore, the first visitor 4 is not always the same person. The first visitor 4 typically carries the second information terminal 5 and regularly visits an interview place such as the home of the person 2 to be observed and visits. It should be noted that when the first visitor 4 visits the place where the second information terminal 5 is to be watched by the first visitor 4 when the first visitor 4 visits the place where the second visitor 2 is watching, the first visitor 4 2 The information terminal 5 may be operated. As described above, the first visitor 4 does not always carry the second information terminal 5 when the watching target person 2 visits.

  FIG. 2 is an external view showing an example of the first information terminal 3 carried by the watching target person 2. The first information terminal 3 in FIG. 2 is a sheet-shaped information input card 3 made of paper or resin. This information input card 3 is a foldable type, and when unfolded, an information input surface 3a as shown in FIG. 3 appears. The information input surface 3a is provided with a plurality of selection buttons (first input portions) 6a, 6b, 6c that the watching target person 2 presses with his or her finger.

  The first information terminal 3 in FIG. 2 is provided by, for example, a business operator that provides a watching service. For example, the first visitor 4 who regularly meets with the watching target 2 may hand over the first information terminal 3 to the watching target 2 at the first meeting. Alternatively, the first information terminal 3 may be sent from the business operator to the watching target person 2 by mail or the like. The first information terminal 3 is used by the watching target person 2 mainly for inputting information regarding a health condition.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the plurality of selection buttons 6a, 6b, 6c, the first information terminal 3 has a function of storing information input by pressing these selection buttons and outputting the stored information to the outside. It has an interface function to perform. The first information terminal 3 in FIG. 2 is driven by a battery, and is assumed to be discarded when the battery runs out. That is, since the first information terminal 3 is supposed to be disposable, it is made of an inexpensive sheet member such as paper or resin in order to suppress the member cost as much as possible. The battery of the first information terminal 3 may be replaceable so that it can be used for a long period of time. In this case, it is desirable that the first information terminal 3 be formed of a resin having excellent durability.

  The information input surface 3a has, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a three-sided structure including a first input surface 3b, a second input surface 3c, and a third input surface 3d, and folds 3e and 3f are formed at boundaries between the surfaces. It is attached and can be folded at these folds 3e and 3f. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the information input surface 3a is folded along the fold lines 3e and 3f.

  On the first input surface 3b, for example, a start button 6a and a cancel button 6b are provided. The second input surface 3c is provided with a selection button 6c for inputting the basic health condition of the watching target person 2. The third input surface 3d is provided with a selection button 6c for inputting some information regarding biological information.

  The information input on the information input screen is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, for the watching target person 2 having a specific disease, information about the disease may be input.

  As described above, the information input card 3 of FIG. 1 is manufactured by folding a sheet material made of paper, resin or the like. By folding the sheet material, the above-mentioned information input surface 3a appears on the front surface, and a circuit pattern surface (not shown) is provided on the back side thereof. A conductive pattern connected to the contact of each selection button 6c is formed on the circuit pattern surface, and a thin module component is mounted.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the thin module component 10. The thin module component 10 of FIG. 4 is a thin film substrate 11 thinner than the paper thickness, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) 12 mounted thereon, a crystal oscillator 13, a button battery 14, and a speaker. 15, a plurality of terminals 16 formed along the long side of the film substrate 11, and an antenna pattern 17 formed along the outer edge of the film substrate 11.

  FIG. 4 shows a block configuration in which the internal configuration of the thin module component 10 is functionalized, and the actual arrangement, size, shape, and number of each circuit component or pattern can be arbitrarily changed.

  FIG. 5A is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the ASIC 12. The ASIC 12 of FIG. 5 includes a first information storage unit 21 that stores the information of the start button 6a, the cancel button 6b, and the selection buttons 6c pressed by the watching target person 2 in time series together with time information (time stamp information), The first information storage unit 21 includes a control unit 22 that controls the storage of the push information of each button, and an interface unit 23 that takes out at least part of the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 to the outside. .

  When the function of the control unit 22 is low, the information once stored in the first information storage unit 21 may not be erased or overwritten. Therefore, when the cancel button 6b is pressed, the control unit 22 does not delete the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 immediately before that, but additionally stores information indicating that the information is incorrect. You may. As a result, when the information on the information input card 3 is read out and read by the information management device 9 managed by a service provider or the like, it is possible to easily and accurately determine whether or not the stored information is correct.

  On the other hand, when the function of the control unit 22 is high, the information once stored in the first information storage unit 21 may be erased or overwritten. Therefore, when the cancel button 6b is pressed, the control unit 22 directly deletes the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 immediately before that. Therefore, it is not necessary to continue to store erroneous information in the first information storage unit 21, the storage capacity in the first information storage unit 21 can be effectively utilized, and whether the read information is correct on the information management device 9 side. There is no need to judge whether or not it is possible to speed up the reading process.

  By providing such a cancel button 6b, it is possible to cancel the information of the selection button 6c that was pressed immediately before, and the watching target person 2 can redo the button operation as many times as necessary, making a mistake. Freed from the mental burden of not being forgiven.

  The information input card 3 according to the present embodiment may be provided with a communication function so that, for example, the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 can be transmitted to an external device in a contactless manner. In this case, a wireless communication unit (not shown) may be provided inside the ASIC 12. The wireless communication unit performs contactless communication such as so-called NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth (registered trademark) with the information management device 9, and transmits/receives information via the interface unit 23. To do. The method and frequency band used by the wireless communication unit for wireless communication are not particularly limited. For example, in the case of NFC, wireless communication is performed in the 13.56MHz band in a wireless method conforming to ISO14443, and in the case of Bluetooth, it is defined by the standard. Wireless communication is performed at a different frequency (for example, 2.4 GHz). The various information stored in the above-described first information storage unit 21 is transmitted to the information management device 9 via the wireless communication unit. As a result, how the state of the watching target person 2 has changed over a predetermined period can be centrally and finely managed in time series on the information management device 9 side, and the watching target person 2 suffering from a specific illness can be managed. Can be used for treatment.

  When NFC is adopted as the wireless communication system, since power can be transmitted and received according to the standard, it is theoretically possible to drive the thin module component 10 without a battery. However, in the case where the thin module component 10 is also provided with the speaker 15, the button battery 14 is preferably installed because the amount of power consumption is relatively large.

  As long as the button battery 14 is installed, the battery will run out when used for a long period of time, but the information input card 3 according to the present embodiment uses a sheet material to provide some durability and waterproofness. Since the structure in which the battery can be replaced is not adopted, the structure is simplified on the assumption that the information input card 3 itself is replaced when the battery runs out.

  Further, since the storage capacity of the first information storage unit 21 is limited, if there is no capacity to store the information of the selection button 6c newly pressed by the watching target person 2, a warning sound is emitted and 1 The target person 2 may be notified by watching that the storage capacity of the information storage unit 21 is full. In this case, as will be described later, a function of erasing all the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 may be provided. However, even if the first visitor 4 performs a special operation so that the target person 2 may not mistakenly use this function, all the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 may be deleted. Good.

  5A shows an example in which the button operation information of the start button 6a, the cancel button 6b, and the selection buttons 6c pressed by the watching target person 2 is stored in the first information storage unit 21 without being encoded. Since the button operation information of the watching target person 2 is personal information, the button operation information may be encoded and then stored in the first information storage unit 21 in order to protect the personal information. The internal configuration of the ASIC 12 in this case is represented by a block diagram as shown in FIG. 5B. The ASIC 12 of FIG. 5B includes a first encoding unit 24 in addition to the configuration of FIG. 5A. The first encoding unit 24 generates first encoded information in which the button operation information of the start button 6a, the cancel button 6b, and the selection buttons 6c pressed by the watching target person 2 is encoded. The first information storage unit 21 of FIG. 5B stores the first encoded information. The first encoded information stored in the first information storage unit 21 is read by the second information terminal 5 as described later. Even if a malicious person reads the first encoded information, the button operation information is not grasped as it is because it is encoded. This makes it possible to protect the personal information of the person being watched over.

  FIG. 6A is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the second information terminal 5 operated by the first visitor 4. The second information terminal 5 in FIG. 6A corresponds to the first information terminal 3 incorporating the ASIC 12 in FIG. 5A. The second information terminal 5 is, for example, a tablet terminal or a laptop PC. When the second information terminal 5 is watched over and placed at a meeting place such as the home of the target person 2, the second information terminal 5 may be a stationary PC.

  The second information terminal 5 in FIG. 6A includes an information reading unit 31 that reads the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 in the first information terminal 3, a second information storage unit 32 that stores the read information, and A first encoding unit 33 that generates the first encoded information 7a that is obtained by encoding the read information, a first output control unit 34 that outputs the first encoded information 7a to the output device 6, and a display unit 35. Have.

  The information reading unit 31 reads information from the first information storage unit 21 in the first information terminal 3 using, for example, a wireless line such as NFC. The coding information generated by the first coding unit 33 is a QR code, a bar code, or the like. The reason why the encoded information is generated is that the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 in the first information terminal 3 is the personal information of the watching target person 2, so that this information cannot be grasped at a glance. This is to protect personal information. Since a general-purpose QR code or barcode can be easily decrypted into original information by a smartphone or the like, it may be encoded by a secure method such as key information.

  The output device 6 in this embodiment is, for example, a printer (printing device). The first output control unit 34 in the second information terminal 5 prints the first encoded information 7a on a print medium such as a paper medium by using a printer, for example. In this case, the first visitor 4 prints the first encoded information 7a on a paper medium when the person 2 to be watched is visited. The first visitor 4 attaches the printed first encoded information 7a to, for example, a conventionally used notebook for recording watching information. As a result, the first visitor 4 does not need to handwrite the watching information in the notebook when the watching target person 2 visits, and the burden on the first visitor 4 is reduced.

  The second information terminal 5 is installed with application software (hereinafter, first application) that performs each processing operation of the information reading unit 31, the first encoding unit 33, and the first output control unit 34. When the first visitor 4 executes the first application on the second information terminal 5, the information is read from the first information terminal 3 and stored in the second information storage unit 32, and the information is encoded. A series of processes for outputting to the output device 6 can be performed.

  The second information terminal 5 may include a second input unit 36 for inputting an impression or the like that the first visitor 4 grasps by having a conversation with the watching target person 2. The first encoding unit 33 in the second information terminal 5 encodes the information read by the information reading unit 31 and the information input by the second input unit 36, as first encoded information 7a. May be generated. As a result, the first encoded information 7a includes not only the information input by the watching target person 2 by himself but also the information acquired by the first visitor 4 by visiting the watching target person 2, The utility value of information is increased.

  When the first encoded information 7a is realized by a QR code (registered trademark) or a barcode, the amount of data that can be stored is limited. It may not be included. In this case, a separate QR code or bar code may be provided. That is, the number of the first encoded information 7a printed on the paper medium may be arbitrarily changed according to the amount of data to be printed.

  Further, the first coded information 7a based on the information read by the information reading unit 31 and the first coded information 7a based on the information input by the second input unit 36 can be distinguished from each other. You may print on a paper medium in a different display form. For example, the color of one of the first encoded information 7a and the other of the first encoded information 7a may be changed. Thereby, when decoding the first encoded information 7a later, it is possible to decode only the information input by the watching target person 2 or only the information input by the first visitor 4.

  The output device 6 in the present embodiment is not limited to the printer, and may be an information display device, for example. The information display device is a PC, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a monitor terminal, or the like, which is placed at a meeting place such as the home of the watching target person 2. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the information display device 37. The information display device 37 of FIG. 7 includes a third storage unit 38 that stores the first encoded information 7a, and a display unit (first display unit) that displays the first encoded information 7a stored in the third storage unit 38. ) 39 and.

  The first encoded information 7a printed on a paper medium or displayed on the information display device 37 may be acquired by a specific third party other than the watching target person 2 and the first visitor 4. The specific third party is a person who needs to watch over the person 2 to be watched, and as a specific example, a close relative such as a family of the person 2 to be watched, or some medical action for the person 2 to watch. Such as medical personnel who perform. The close relatives also include the legal representative of the person 2 to be watched over who is not close to him. Alternatively, a person requested by the watching target person 2 or his family is also included. Medical personnel include the attending physician, pharmacist, nutritionist, etc. Hereinafter, such specific third parties are collectively referred to as the second visitor 7.

  The provision of the first encoded information 7a to the second visitor 7 is performed by the third information terminal 40. The third information terminal 40 is, for example, a tablet terminal or a laptop PC carried by the second visitor 7. The second visitor 7 carries the third information terminal 40 and visits and visits the meeting place such as the home of the target person 2. The third information terminal 40 may be placed at a meeting place such as the home of the watching target person 2. In this case, the second visitor 7 operates the third information terminal 40 when he/she meets the watching target person 2.

  In addition, the second information terminal 5 may include a time adjustment unit 51 and an initialization unit 52, as shown in FIG. The time adjustment unit 51 regularly adjusts the time. Since the first information terminal 3 possessed by the watching target person 2 receives the time information from the second information terminal 5, if the time of the second information terminal 5 is incorrect, the time of the first information terminal 3 will also be incorrect. Become. Therefore, it is desirable to provide the time adjustment unit 51 in the second information terminal 5. The initialization unit 52 initializes the first information terminal 3 passed to a new person to be watched over and transmits the time to the first information terminal 3. By providing the initialization unit 52, the second information terminal 5 can initialize the first information terminal 3.

  Further, the second information terminal 5 may include a confirmation item information generation unit 53, a confirmation item information transmission unit 54, and a management information generation unit 55. The confirmation item information generation unit 53 generates confirmation item information that is unique to each individual watching target and is input by the watching target person on the first information terminal 3. Details of the confirmation item information will be described later. The confirmation item information transmission unit 54 transmits confirmation item information when the first information terminal 3 passed to the watching target person 2 is initialized. The management information generation unit 55 provides the first identification information for identifying the watching target person, the second identification information for identifying the first information terminal 3 passed to the watching target person, and the confirmation item information unique to the watching target person. Generate associated management information.

  FIG. 6B is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the second information terminal 5 corresponding to the first information terminal 3 incorporating the ASIC 12 of FIG. 5B. The second information terminal 5 in FIG. 6B is obtained by omitting the first encoding unit 33 from FIG. 6A. The information reading unit 31 in the second information terminal 5 in FIG. 6B reads the first encoded information stored in the first information storage unit 21 in the ASIC 12. The second information storage unit 32 stores the first encoded information read by the information reading unit 31.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the third information terminal 40. The third information terminal 40 of FIG. 8 includes an information reading unit 41 that reads the first encoded information 7a output to the output device 6, and a decoding unit that decodes the read first encoded information 7a into information before encoding. 42 and a display unit (second display unit) 43 that displays the decoded information.

  The information reading unit 41 has, for example, a camera built in the third information terminal 40. This camera captures the first encoded information 7a. The decoding unit 42 analyzes the image captured by the camera and decodes the first encoded information 7a into information before encoding. The second visitor 7 confirms the information input to the first information terminal 3 by the watching target person 2 by the decoded information displayed on the display unit 43 of the third information terminal 40. Further, when there is information input by the first visitor 4 to the second information terminal 5, this information is also confirmed on the display unit 43.

  Then, the second visitor 7 visits the watching target person 2 while referring to the information confirmed on the display unit 43, and performs treatment, diagnosis, examination, inquiry, medicine dispensing, and the like as necessary. For example, if the second visitor 7 is the attending physician, based on the information confirmed on the display unit 43, the treatment method is changed, a new examination is performed, or a medicine prescription is created. If the second visitor 7 is a pharmacist, the medicine is dispensed based on the information confirmed on the display unit 43.

  The second information terminal 5 operated by the first visitor 4 may also be provided with the same information reading unit 41 and decoding unit 42 as the third information terminal 40. As a result, the first visitor 4 can also read and decode the first encoded information 7a using the second information terminal 5, and can confirm the decoded information on the display unit 43.

  The third information terminal 40 is installed with application software (hereinafter, second application) that performs each processing operation of the information reading unit 41 and the decoding unit 42. When the second visitor 7 executes the second application on the third information terminal 40, it is possible to perform a series of processes of reading the information from the output device 6, decoding it, and displaying it on the display unit 43.

  The third information terminal 40 stores the information input by the third input unit 44 and the third input unit 44 for inputting an impression or the like that the second visitor 7 has grasped by having a conversation with the watching target person 2. A second encoding unit 45 that generates encoded second encoded information and a second output control unit 46 that outputs the second encoded information to the output device 6 may be provided.

  As a result, the third information terminal 40 can output the second encoded information, which is obtained by encoding the information acquired by the second visitor 7 by visiting the person 2 to be watched over, to the output device 6. Therefore, the first visitor 4 and the other second visitor 7 can understand how the second visitor 7 has the watching target person 2 by decoding this information. For example, if the second visitor 7 is the attending physician and it is determined that the health condition of the person 2 to be watched is determined to be good, the information that the visitor 4 may have a longer visit interval or the pharmacist The second coded information including information instructing to change the type or amount of the medicine to be dispensed may be generated.

  In addition, the third information terminal 40 accesses the information management device 9 that centrally manages the information input by the watching target person 2 to the first information terminal 3 through a wired or wireless line, and the information management device 9 manages the information. The information to be displayed may be referred to. In this case, the communication control unit 47 is provided in the third information terminal 40.

  As described above, the first visitor 4 is a person dispatched from a business operator who provides a watching service. This business operator is provided with an information management device 9 for managing the watching target person 2. The information management device 9 can be realized by a server or a PC. The information management device 9 manages the name and identification information of each watching target person 2 and the information acquired by the second information terminal 5 from the first information terminal 3 in association with each other.

  The information management device 9 can send and receive information to and from the second information terminal 5 in a wired or wireless manner. The information management device 9 may be configured to be able to send and receive information to and from the third information terminal 40 in a wired or wireless manner.

  When the first information terminal 3 is provided to the new person 2 to be watched, the operator of the watching service performs the registration work of the person 2 to watch. 9A and 9B are sequence diagrams showing an example of the registration procedure of the watching target person 2. First, the information management device 9 managed by the operator of the watching service activates dedicated application software (hereinafter, the third application) (step S1). When the login screen is displayed, the operator of the information management device 9 inputs a predetermined user ID and password (step S2). The operator in this case is, for example, the first visitor 4 who is scheduled to regularly meet with the new watching target person 2. Alternatively, another person may be requested by the first visitor 4.

  If the login procedure is successful, the operator selects new registration of the watching target person (step S3). Next, the watching target person ID (first identification information) for identifying the watching target person is selected according to the instruction on the new registration screen (step S4). Next, the operator registers personal information such as the name and address of the watching target person (step S5). The operator confirms that there is no error in the state registered in the information management device 9 (step S6).

  Before or after the processing of steps S1 to S6, the operator adjusts the time of the second information terminal 5 (step S11). As will be described later, since the time information of the second information terminal 5 is transmitted to the first information terminal 3, if the time of the second information terminal 5 is incorrect, the time of the first information terminal 3 will also be incorrect. turn into. For this reason, it is necessary to periodically perform processing for adjusting the time of the second information terminal 5. It should be noted that the specific process of adjusting the time of the second information terminal 5 does not matter. For example, the time may be adjusted by accessing a specific site from the second information terminal 5, or the time may be adjusted via a telephone line or the like. Alternatively, the operator may manually adjust the time of the second information terminal 5.

  Next, the operator activates dedicated application software (hereinafter, fourth application) on the second information terminal 5 (step S12). The operator inputs the user ID and password according to the fourth application (step S13). Next, the operator instructs the initial registration of the first information terminal 3 on the second information terminal 5 (step S14).

  Then, the operator instructs the second information terminal 5 to acquire the ID of the newly watched person to be watched (step S15). Further, the operator instructs the information management device 9 to link the registered information with the second information terminal 5 (step S7). In response to this instruction, the information management device 9 transmits the registration information of the newly registered watching target person 2 to the second information terminal 5 (step S8). The registration information may be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. Wired transmission is, for example, communication via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminal, Ethernet (registered trademark), or the like. The wireless transmission is, for example, communication via WiFi (registered trademark) or wireless LAN (Local Area Network).

  The second information terminal 5 receives the registration information transmitted from the information management device 9, and stores it in a predetermined storage unit in the second information terminal 5 (step S16). The storage unit may be the second information storage unit 32 in FIG. 6 or a storage unit provided separately from the second information storage unit 32. Next, the operator uses the second information terminal 5 to register the confirmation item information unique to the new watching target person (step S17). Here, the confirmation item information is information input by the specific watching target person 2 at the first information terminal 3, and is, for example, information about a disease or health condition of the specific watching target person 2. As a more specific example, for the watching target person 2 having high blood pressure, information regarding blood pressure may be used as the confirmation item information. The process of step S17 is optional. If the confirmation item information is not necessary, the process of step S17 may be omitted.

  Next, the operator gives an instruction to initialize the first information terminal 3 with the first information terminal 3 to be distributed to the new watching target person 2 at hand (step S18 in FIG. 9B). .. This instruction is given by the second information terminal 5. As a result, the initialization information is transmitted from the second information terminal 5 to the first information terminal 3 wirelessly (step S19). The initialization information includes, for example, time information and confirmation item information.

  The first information terminal 3 receives the initialization information transmitted from the second information terminal 5 (step S31), corrects the time in the first information terminal 3 (step S32), and initializes the first information terminal 3. (Step S33). Further, the confirmation item information is set in the first information terminal 3 (step S34).

  For example, the information input card 3 in FIG. 3 has items 1 to 3 as a health condition and items 1 to 3 as biometric information. At least a part of these items 1 to 3 may be one in which the specific contents of the item can be arbitrarily changed by the confirmation item information transmitted from the second information terminal 5. In this case, it is necessary to set the content of each item in the information input card 3. This processing is performed in step S34.

  When the process of step S34 ends, the first information terminal 3 wirelessly notifies the second information terminal 5 that the initialization is completed (step S35). At this time, the first information terminal 3 transmits the terminal ID for identifying the first information terminal 3 and the time (time stamp) managed by the first information terminal 3 to the second information terminal 5.

  Upon receiving this notification, the second information terminal 5 generates management information (step S20). Here, the management information is set in the watching target person ID (first identification information), the terminal ID (second identification information) of the first information terminal 3 owned by the watching target person, and the first information terminal 3. It is the information linked with the confirmation item information.

  The second information terminal 5 transmits the management information to the information management device 9 by wire or wirelessly (step S21). The information management device 9 watches the received management information and registers it in the target person DB (step S9), and ends the third application (step S10). Similarly, the second information terminal 5 ends the fourth application after transmitting the management information to the information management device 9 (step S22).

FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the information reading process of the first information terminal 3 by the second information terminal 5. FIG. 10 shows an example in which a printer is used as the output device 6.
First, the first visitor 4 activates the first application on the second information terminal 5 (step S41). The first visitor 4 also activates the printer, which is the output device 6, before and after step S41 (step S42).

  When the login screen is displayed on the second information terminal 5, the first visitor 4 inputs a predetermined user ID and password (step S43). When the menu screen is displayed, the first visitor 4 selects data reading from the menu (step S44). As a result, the second information terminal 5 transmits an information transmission request to the first information terminal 3 via, for example, a wireless line (step S45). Receiving this request, the first information terminal 3 transmits the information stored in the first information storage unit 21 to the second information terminal 5 via the wireless line (step S46). The second information terminal 5 receives the information from the first information terminal 3 (step S47) and stores the received information in the second information storage unit 32 (step S48).

  Next, the 1st encoding part 33 produces|generates the 1st encoding information 7a which encoded the received information (step S49). Next, the first output control unit 34 instructs the printer to print the first encoded information 7a (step S50), and thereafter ends the first application (step S51). In response to this instruction, the printer prints the first encoded information 7a on a paper medium (step S52), and then turns off the power of the printer (step S53).

  The first visitor 4 attaches the paper medium on which the first encoded information 7a is printed, to the notebook 7, for example. Instead of pasting on the notebook 7, a paper medium may be directly filed. Further, additional information such as time information (time stamp information) may be added to the first encoded information 7a printed on the paper medium. Since the attached information is not personal information, it does not necessarily have to be encoded. Although FIG. 10 shows an example in which the second information terminal 5 performs the encoding, when the first information terminal 3 having the ASIC 12 of FIG. 5B and the second information terminal 5 of FIG. 6B are provided. Since the first information terminal 3 performs the encoding, the second information terminal 5 can omit the encoding process.

  As described above, when the storage capacity of the first information storage unit 21 in the first information terminal 3 is full, the information in the first information storage unit 21 is erased by the instruction of the second information terminal 5 device. Is done. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing an example of an erasing process of information in the first information storage unit 21. When the storage capacity of the first information storage unit 21 in the first information terminal 3 is full, when the watching target person 2 presses the selection buttons 6a, 6b, 6c, a warning sound is emitted and it is full. The target person 2 is informed of the fact that it has become. When the first visitor 4 is notified by the watching target person 2 that the storage capacity of the first information storage unit 21 is full, the first visitor 4 transfers the information in the first information storage unit 21 to the second information terminal 5. After that, data deletion is selected from the menu screen of the second information terminal 5 (step S61). As a result, the data erasing request is transmitted from the second information terminal 5 to the first information terminal 3 via the wireless line (step S62). Receiving this request, the first information terminal 3 erases all the information in the first information storage unit 21 (step S63), and transmits the information indicating that the deletion is completed to the second information terminal 5 via the wireless line. (Step S64). When this information is received, the information indicating that the erasing is completed is displayed on the display unit 35 of the second information terminal 5 (step S65).

  The second information terminal 5 or the third information terminal 40 can decode the first encoded information 7a. FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of a decoding process of the first encoded information 7a by the third information terminal 40.

  The second visitor 8 activates the second application on the third information terminal 40 (step S71), and when the login screen is displayed, inputs the user ID and password (step S72). When the menu screen is displayed, the reading of the encoded information is selected from the menu screen (step S73). The camera corresponding to the information reading unit 41 in the third information terminal 40 captures the first encoded information 7a (step S74). The decoding unit 42 in the third information terminal 40 analyzes the captured image and decodes the first encoded information 7a (step S75). Next, the third information terminal 40 displays the decrypted information on the display unit 43 (step S76). Then, if necessary, the decrypted information is saved, and then the second application is terminated (step S77).

  After the first visitor 4 meets the person to be monitored and reads the information in the first information terminal 3 at the second information terminal 5, this information is taken after the first visitor 4 brings it back to the office. The information management device 9 centrally manages the information. FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing for centrally managing the information in the second information terminal 5 by the information management device 9.

  The first visitor 4 activates the first information terminal 3 (step S81) and connects the first information terminal 3 and the information management device 9 (step S82). This connection may be wired or wireless.

  Further, in parallel with the processing of steps S81 and S82, the predetermined administrator activates the dedicated application software in the first information management device 9 (step S83), and after inputting the login ID and the password (step S84). ), and the information read of the watching target person 2 is selected from the menu screen (step S85).

  Next, the import file and the save destination are designated (step S86). Then, the information read request is transmitted to the second information terminal 5 (step S87). In response to this request, the second information terminal 5 transmits the information of the watching target person 2 read from the first information terminal 3 to the information management device 9 (step S88). The information management device 9 saves the received information in the specified import file and transfers it to the storage destination specified in step S86 (step S89). When the transfer is completed, the completion of the storage is displayed on the display unit of the information management device 9 (step S90), the application is terminated (step S91), and the second information terminal 5 is powered off (step S92). ..
