FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration for process control in the operation terminal 2. In FIG. 4, the programs of the two applications AP1 and AP2 and the printer driver PD are expanded and started on the memory (RAM) 13 of the operation terminal 2, and an instruction signal and an information signal are mutually transmitted. Can be sent and received. The two application programs AP1 and AP2 send and receive signals to one common printer driver PD, and the printer driver PD sends signals to the tag label printer 3 via the interface connection between the

communication control units

The plurality of application programs AP1 and AP2 and the printer driver PD are all executed by a single CPU 12 provided in the operation terminal 2. For example, time-sharing interrupt control such as a time sharing system (TSS) is performed. Are executed independently of each other. Further, the printer driver PD may be preinstalled in the basic OS of the operation terminal 2 constituted by a general-purpose personal computer, or may be a program that is individually activated on the OS like other applications. . The printer driver PD and the application programs AP1 and AP2 are recorded in advance on an appropriate computer-readable recording medium such as a disk or a memory, and transferred to the memory 13 or the mass storage device 16 of the operation terminal 2. After the installation, the CPU 12 of the operation terminal 2 may read and start them. At that time, the printer driver PD and the application programs AP1 and AP2 recorded on the computer-readable recording medium as described above are downloaded from the web and installed in the memory 13 or the mass storage device 16 of the operation terminal 2.

These set each setting information (print data, write data, etc.) required for the creation of the RFID label T, and output the RFID label T creation command including the setting information to the printer driver PD. In addition, after the RFID label T is created, the tag ID stored therein is acquired from the printer driver PD, and the information is managed in association with the corresponding setting information.

The tag label printer 3 creates one RFID label T by receiving one tag creation command from the printer driver PD. That is, the printer driver performs printing and writing of information based on the setting information included in the tag creation command, reads the tag ID stored in advance in the RFID circuit element To, and the success / failure result of creation of the RFID label T Reply to PD.

The printer driver PD always accepts a plurality of RFID label T creation commands output from a plurality of application programs AP (including a case where a plurality of creation commands are output repeatedly from one application program AP) in parallel. The output of the tag creation command corresponding to the order of the creation commands received and the input of the reply of the creation result are repeated with respect to the tag label printer 3, and the tag ID of the RFID label T that has been successfully created is applied to the application of the creation command source Reply to program AP.

The flow of information between the application program AP, the printer driver PD, and the tag label printer 3 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 5 is a diagram conceptually illustrating a main information flow when an instruction to create the RFID label T is given in the tag label producing system 1 of the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the application program AP shows an example in which only one name tag management application is activated, and shows the flow of information among the application program AP, the printer driver PD, and the tag label printer 3. The hardware distinction between the operation terminal 2 and the tag label printer 3 is omitted (the same applies to FIGS. 6 to 8 described later).

In FIG. 5, first, the operator instructs the creation of a desired RFID label T by operating the application program AP, whereby a creation job signal is output from the application program AP to the printer driver PD. This creation job is a set of creation commands corresponding to the creation of one RFID label T (creation command x number created by one creation job), that is, by outputting one creation job, The RFID label T can be created as many as the number of creation instructions included. Note that one creation job may be output including only one creation command.

Each creation command includes print data to be printed on the print surface of the RFID label T (in the example shown, “Planning Department Tanaka”, etc.), write data to be stored in the RFID circuit element To included in the RFID label T, and the creation A creation command ID (data identification information), which is command identification information, is included.

The printer driver PD that has received a creation job including these creation commands accumulates the contents of the creation job in a creation command table (see FIG. 9 described later) for each creation command, and sequentially creates tags corresponding to these creation commands. The command is output to the tag label printer 3. This tag creation command includes print data (in the example shown, “Planning Department Tanaka”) and write data of a corresponding creation command. The printer driver PD outputs one tag creation command to the tag label printer 3 and then waits for a reply of one creation result information (detailed later) corresponding thereto before outputting the next tag creation command.

FIG. 6 is a diagram conceptually illustrating a main information flow when the tag label printer 3 successfully creates the RFID label T in the tag label producing system 1 of the present embodiment.

In FIG. 6, each RFID circuit element To provided in the tag tape 203 before the RFID label T is created stores a tag ID which is identification information defined in advance for each individual as described above. ing. The tag label printer 3 that has received the tag creation command from the printer driver PD as shown in FIG. 5 performs printing based on the print data in a predetermined print area on the surface of the tag tape 203, and a wireless tag circuit. The tag ID is read and the write data is written to the IC circuit unit 150 of the element To, whereby the RFID label T is created.

If all of these printing processing, tag ID reading processing, and writing data writing processing are successful and the normal RFID label T can be created, the tag label printer 3 displays the success status and the read tag ID. The created creation result information is output to the printer driver PD.

The printer driver PD that has received this creation result information records the success status and the tag ID in the creation command table (see FIG. 9) in association with the creation command ID related to the tag creation command output immediately before.

FIG. 7 is a diagram conceptually illustrating the main information flow when the tag label printer 3 fails to create the RFID label T in the tag label producing system 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 7 shows the processing after the tag label printer 3 receives a tag creation command from the printer driver PD, as in FIG. 6, and the tag label printer 3 performs printing processing, tag ID reading processing, and If any one of the write data writing processes fails and a normal RFID label T cannot be created, the tag label printer 3 outputs creation result information including only the failure status to the printer driver PD. .

The printer driver PD that has received this creation result information records the failure status in the creation command table (see FIG. 9) in association with the creation command ID related to the tag creation command output immediately before.

FIG. 8 is a diagram conceptually illustrating the main information flow when the application program AP inquires the printer driver PD about the creation result in the tag label creating system 1 of the present embodiment.

In FIG. 8, in this example, after the application program AP outputs the creation job shown in FIG. 5 to the printer driver PD, an appropriate program (after the time necessary for completing label creation) is obtained. At the timing, a result request command for inquiring information related to the creation result of the RFID label T to the printer driver PD is output.

The result request command includes the creation command ID of the creation command in the creation job that has been output to the printer driver PD by the application program AP so far. This result request command may be output one by one for each creation command, or may be output in units of previously created creation jobs.

The printer driver PD that has received this request command detects the status of the success or failure of creation of the corresponding RFID label T and the tag ID (if successful) from the creation command table using the creation command ID included therein as a key. The creation result information including the creation command ID, the creation success / failure status, and the tag ID (if successful) is output as a response to the application program AP.

In this way, the printer driver PD manages all corresponding information using the creation command ID set for each RFID label T (each creation command). As a result, the application program AP can acquire information corresponding to the necessary creation command ID from the printer driver PD when necessary.

FIG. 9 is a diagram conceptually illustrating an example of a creation command table managed by the printer driver PD. This creation command table is information that is recorded and held in the large-capacity storage device 16 of the operation terminal 2 and managed only by the printer driver PD. In this embodiment, the creation command table is provided in the large-capacity storage device 16 separately for each of the fixed asset management application program, name tag management application program, and document management application program. In the example shown in the drawing, a creation command table related to the name tag management application program AP is shown. Further, the contents illustrating the creation command ID and the tag ID in the figure are all expressed in hexadecimal numbers.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the creation command table, for all creation commands accepted by the printer driver PD, a reference number (the leftmost “No.”) set as a serial number in the acceptance order is provided as a record item. It has been. Also, corresponding to each reference number (that is, corresponding to each creation command), creation command ID, print data, write data, creation status, and tag ID are provided as record items. Among these, as described above, the creation command ID, the print data, and the write data are recorded based on the creation job received from the application program AP. Further, the creation status and the tag ID are recorded based on the creation result information received from the tag label printer 3 (the creation status also changes depending on the status before creation as described later).

In the “creation command ID” item, an ID consisting of an identification code represented by a 6-digit hexadecimal number is recorded in the illustrated example. In this example, the upper 2 digits are described as the identification code of the application program AP that has output the creation command, and the other lower 4 digits are described as the creation command serial number set by the application program AP. Thereby, even when many creation commands are received and accumulated from a plurality of application programs AP, the uniqueness of all creation command IDs is maintained.

In the “print data” item, for example, information on characters or figures printed in the print area of the RFID label T (such as “Planning Department Tanaka” in the illustrated example), and the position, font, or size of those prints Data in combination with data (not shown in particular) representing the above is recorded.

The “write data” item (usually information related to the corresponding print data) is stored in the RFID label T and is referred to when the RFID tag reader reads the RFID tag T separately. Information is recorded. In the example shown in the figure, the person (the person indicated by the print data) carrying the RFID label T is information representing equipment and materials that can be used, and codes corresponding to these contents are recorded as appropriate.

In the “creation status” item, information indicating the processing status of the creation command is recorded. The contents include “success” and “failure” corresponding to the creation success / failure status of the RFID label T shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. Furthermore, after the output of the tag creation command corresponding to the creation command from the printer driver PD, “Creating” which is waiting for the creation result information from the tag label printer 3, and the corresponding tag creation command has not yet been output. “Waiting”. One of these is recorded with a corresponding code as appropriate.

In the “tag ID” item, the tag ID read from the RFID circuit element To is recorded corresponding to only the creation command for which the RFID label T has already been successfully created.

Note that the creation command table of the example shown in the figure stores only the creation commands output from the name tag management application program AP as described above, but when the creation commands from other application programs AP are also stored. Are stored in the creation command table in the order of acceptance (order of acceptance of creation jobs and creation commands in them). Further, as described above, since the tag label printer 3 processes each tag creation command (in this example), only one creation status becomes “Creating” through all creation commands.

Although not specifically illustrated, the application program AP also records and manages a table equivalent to this creation command table (or an increased number of recording items), but the application program AP sets the table. Only creation commands are stored.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of the printer driver PD executed by the CPU 12 of the operation terminal 2. As described above, the printer driver PD may be executed in any form of a program incorporated in the basic OS or a stand-alone application program AP, and such a basic OS built-in program is called. Or when the application program AP is activated. At the start of this flow, no creation command is accumulated in the creation command table ("START" position).

In FIG. 10, first, in step S5, 1 is assigned to the counter C corresponding to the reference number of the creation command table and is initialized.

Next, the process proceeds to step S10, where it is determined whether or not a creation job has been input from the application program AP. If a creation job is input, the determination is satisfied, and in step S15, the creation commands included in the input creation job are stored in the creation command table in the order of acceptance (see FIG. 5). Then, each “creation status” item is registered as “standby”, and the process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, if the creation job has not been input, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes directly to step S20.

In step S20, it is determined whether or not the corresponding creation status is “standby” for the creation command whose reference number is the same as the value of the counter C in the creation command table (that is, the creation command whose reception order is the Cth). To do. If the creation status of the C-th creation command is “standby”, the determination is satisfied, that is, the tag creation command is still issued for the C-th creation command that is being processed by the printer driver PD at that time. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S25. In step S25, print data and write data corresponding to the C-th creation command are acquired from the creation command table, a tag creation command including them is generated and output to the tag label printer 3 (see FIG. 5 above). . In step S30, the content of the “creation status” item corresponding to the C-th creation command in the creation command table is changed to “being created”, and the process proceeds to step S35.

On the other hand, if the creation status of the C-th creation command is not “standby” in the determination of step S20, that is, the creation status has already created the RFID label T, “success” or “failure”, or tag creation has already occurred. If the command is output and “creation is in progress” waiting for creation result information, the determination is not satisfied (that is, it is considered that there is no need to output the tag creation command again), and the process proceeds to step S35. Even when the RFID label T is created for all creation commands stored in the creation command table, the content of the Cth creation status is other than “standby” (that is, “success” or “failure”). ]), The process proceeds to step S35.

In step S35, it is determined whether or not creation result information is newly input from the tag label printer 3. If the creation result information is input, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to Step S40. In step S40, whether or not the success / failure status included in the creation result information is “success status”, that is, whether or not the RFID label T has been successfully created by the tag creation command output immediately before by the printer driver PD. Determine.

If “success status” is included in the input creation result information, the determination in step S40 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S45. In step S45, the description of the “creation status” item in the C-th creation command in the creation command table is changed to “success”, and the value of the tag ID included in the creation result information is changed to the C-th value in the creation command table. Is recorded in the “tag ID” item of the creation command, and the process proceeds to step S55 (see FIG. 6). On the other hand, if “failed status” is included in the created creation result information, the determination in step S40 is not satisfied, and the description of the “creation status” item in the Cth creation command in the creation command table is “ Change to “failure” and go to step S55 (see FIG. 7).

In step S55, the value of the counter C is incremented by 1, that is, the process target of the printer driver PD is moved to a creation command corresponding to the next reference number, and the process proceeds to step S60.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S35 that the creation result information is not newly input from the tag label printer 3, the determination is not satisfied, that is, the creation status of the C-th creation command to be processed is “being created”. The process proceeds to step S60 as it is to maintain the state (or to wait for the input of a creation command to be newly accumulated).

In step S60, it is determined whether or not a result request command has been input from the application program AP. If the result request command is input, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to Step S65. In step S65, the corresponding creation status and tag ID (if successful) are acquired from the creation command table using the creation command ID included in the result request command as a key. Then, the creation result information including them is returned as a response to the requesting application program AP, and the process proceeds to step S70 (see FIG. 8). Even if the corresponding creation status is “Creating” or “Waiting” (that is, even if all creation commands are not processed), the creation result information may be returned as it is as a success / failure status. The application program AP only needs to output a result request command to the printer driver PD only for the “creation” and “standby” creation commands.

On the other hand, if no result request command is input from the application program AP in the determination in step S60, the determination is not satisfied, and the process directly proceeds to step S70.

In step S70, it is determined whether or not a predetermined end operation has been input via the operation unit 14. If the end operation has been input, the determination is satisfied and this flow is terminated. If not, the determination is not satisfied and the process returns to step S10 and the same procedure is repeated.

11 shows, as the simplest example for clarifying the explanation, transmission / reception of various signals transmitted / received between one application program AP, the printer driver PD performing the control procedure of FIG. 10 and the tag label printer 3. It is a sequence diagram showing an example of control operation. In the figure, only the procedures of the application program AP, the printer driver PD, and the tag label printer 3 that change in time series from the upper side to the lower side and that are related to this time series are illustrated. The details of the transmitted and received signals are simplified or omitted as appropriate (see FIGS. 5 to 8).

11, first, the application program AP outputs one creation job I including N creation commands to the printer driver PD (see FIG. 5). The printer driver PD that has received this accumulates (queues) N creation commands in the creation command table in step SD1, and then sequentially outputs a tag creation command II corresponding to the creation command to the tag label printer 3. (See FIG. 5).

Then, the tag label printer 3 that has received this creates one RFID label T in step SP1. Note that this preparation procedure requires, for example, about several seconds because it includes the conveyance processing, printing processing, cutting processing, and the like of the tag tape 203 mechanically performed in the tag label printer 3. Then, after completing this creation procedure, the tag label printer 3 outputs creation result information III including a success / failure status (and tag ID) to the printer driver PD (see FIG. 6 or FIG. 7).

The printer driver PD that has received the creation result information III changes the corresponding creation status (creation status related to the corresponding creation command ID) in the creation command table in step SD2, and if the creation is successful, the tag ID is also changed. Record (see FIG. 6 or FIG. 7).

In the above, a series of procedures from the transmission of the tag creation command II to the procedure SD2 is a unit creation process required for creating one RFID label T, and the printer driver PD and the tag label printer 3 create this unit. The process is repeated N times in succession.

Thereafter, when the application program AP outputs a creation result request IV to the printer driver PD after an appropriate time has elapsed, the printer driver PD displays the corresponding creation status (success / failure status in the figure) and tag ID (if successful). The creation result information V including is returned as a response.

In the above-described procedure, the printer driver PD accumulates all accepted creation commands in the creation command table and performs record management of information using the creation command ID as a key. In addition, the application program AP and the printer driver PD always transmit and receive information for each creation command including the creation command ID. As a result, it is possible to send and receive related information at an arbitrary timing while maintaining the correct correspondence between the creation commands.

In other words, when viewed from the application program AP side, it is possible to immediately shift to another process without waiting for any response immediately after outputting a creation job to the printer driver PD first, and at a later timing, a result request command Is output (while maintaining the correct correspondence between the creation commands), the corresponding success / failure status and tag ID can be acquired.

Also, the printer driver PD can perform other processes in the tag label creation period P from when the tag creation command II is output to the tag label printer 3 until the reply of the creation result information III is received. For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a second creation job (including M creation commands) I ′ is received from the second application program AP2 in the period P, and the creation command table is immediately followed by the procedure SD1 ′. Can accumulate. In this case, N RFID labels T are created by the first creation job, and then M RFID labels T are created by the second creation job immediately (the unit creation process of the RFID label T is repeated (N + M) times. ) That is, virtually any application program AP1, AP2 can output and store a created job in the printer driver PD at an arbitrary timing.

In FIG. 12, the illustration of the creation result request and the creation result information transmission / reception between the application programs AP1 and AP2 and the printer driver PD is omitted for the purpose of preventing the illustration from being complicated.

As described above, in this embodiment, a creation command ID is assigned to each creation command included in a creation job in advance, and a plurality of creation jobs based on at least one application program AP are sequentially received and stored. In parallel, the RFID label T is created, and the creation result information is stored in association with the creation command ID. As a result, even when one creation job is not yet completed as in the prior art, another creation job (in the case of another creation job created by the same application program AP and another application job) Including a case of a job created by the program AP). Therefore, the operator can collectively process label creation by a plurality of creation jobs. As a result, the efficiency of label production can be improved, and convenience can be improved.

At this time, the label creation result for each creation job of each application program AP is also stored (sequentially stored in association with the creation command ID as described above). After the contents are stored in the creation command table, the operator can know the contents of the creation result information at any time (even during the execution of other creation jobs thereafter). Can be improved.

In this embodiment, in particular, when the RFID label T is successfully created by the tag label printer 3, the tag ID read by the device-side antenna 206 is incorporated into the creation result information and stored in the creation command table. . Therefore, the operator acquires the tag ID read when the RFID label T is created by searching the creation command table after the result request command is input to the printer driver PD and extracting the creation status and the tag ID. be able to.

In this embodiment, in particular, when the RFID label T has failed to be created by the tag label printer 3, creation result information including a failure status indicating the creation failure is stored in the creation command table. Therefore, the operator can surely recognize that the creation of the RFID label T has failed by searching the creation command table after the result request command is input to the printer driver PD and extracting the creation status.

In this embodiment, in particular, the creation command table storing the print data and the write data of each creation job in association with each other is stored in the mass storage device 16 of the operation terminal 2 for each application program AP. Yes. Thereby, the correspondence between the print data and the write data can be clearly organized and stored for each application program AP. Further, by providing the creation command table on the operation terminal 2 side instead of the tag label printer 3 side, it is possible to quickly and easily perform processing such as table access and data change / reconstruction by the operator.

In this embodiment, in particular, as the plurality of application programs AP provided in the operation terminal 2, at least one of the fixed asset management application program, the name tag management application program, and the document management application program (3 in this example). All). Accordingly, at least one of three typical uses when creating the RFID label T, that is, label creation for fixed asset management, label creation for name tags, and label creation for document management such as documents and files, This can be performed smoothly by operating the operation terminal 2.

In the above description, the case where the RFID tag T is created by cutting the printed tag tape 203 that has been printed and accessed (read or written) to the RFID circuit element To by the cutter 207 has been described. It is not limited to this. That is, in the case where a label mount (so-called die cut label) previously separated into a predetermined size corresponding to the label is continuously arranged on the tape fed out from the roll, even if it is not cut by the cutter 207, After the tape is discharged from the discharge port, only the label mount (the one with the already accessed RFID circuit element To and the corresponding printing) may be peeled off from the tape to produce the RFID label T. The invention can also be applied to such a case.

Moreover, in the above, it was the system (type which does not perform bonding) which prints on the to-be-printed tape layer (not shown) with which the tag tape 203 provided with the RFID circuit element To was provided. The present invention may be applied to a system in which printing is performed on a cover film different from a tag tape as a tag medium and these are bonded together.

Further, the above description has been given by taking as an example the case where the tag tape 203 is wound around a reel member (not shown) to form the roll 204, and the tag tape 203 is fed out from the roll 204. I can't. As a tag medium, for example, a long flat paper-like or strip-like tape or sheet on which at least one RFID circuit element To is arranged (after cutting out a tape wound around a roll, it is cut into an appropriate length. Are formed into a cartridge by stacking them in a predetermined storage part (for example, by stacking them in a tray shape), and mounting the cartridge on the cartridge holder on the tag label printer 3 side. The RFID label may be created by transferring and transporting from the unit to perform printing and writing.

Further, the tag label printer 3 is configured such that the roll is detachably attached directly to the tag label printer 3 side, and a long flat paper or strip of tape or sheet is transferred from the outside of the tag label printer 3 one by one by a predetermined feeder mechanism. It is also possible to supply the inside of the tag label printer 3 such as a cartridge, and the tag tape roll 204 is provided on the apparatus main body as a so-called installation type or integral type that is not removable. It is also possible. In this case, the same effect is obtained.

In the above, the arrows shown in each of FIGS. 2 to 8 and the like indicate an example of the signal flow and do not limit the signal flow direction.

Further, the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 and the like does not limit the present invention to the procedure shown in the above flow, and the procedure is added / deleted or the order is changed without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the invention. Also good.

In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.

Other than that, although not exemplified one by one, the present invention is implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
