In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an object tracking system according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the object tracking system includes a plurality of object containment components, such as a first object containment component 110, a second object containment component 120, a third object containment component 130, and so on. For convenience, only three are shown. For example, in a hospital, there are a plurality of departments, so a plurality of object accommodating components which are in communication with each other may be provided correspondingly according to the number of departments, and an object detecting unit, such as a first object detecting unit 210, a second object detecting unit 220, a third object detecting unit 230, and the like, may be provided for each object accommodating component. In addition, the object accommodating assembly is generally provided with corresponding carrying units, such as the first carrying unit 310, the second carrying unit 320, the third carrying unit 330, and the like, as shown in fig. 1. For tracking of the object, both the object holding assembly and the transport unit have respective identities in order to distinguish them from each other.
The object accommodating assembly is used for accommodating and storing various objects, such as various medicines and consumables of a hospital and various devices. Special management is required for various high value consumables and controlled products to avoid loss and abuse. For example, in a hospital, when each high value consumable or controlled product is purchased, it is labeled with its identity, such as an RFID tag. By writing product information such as a name, a number, a manufacturer, a place of production, date of production, a date of quality guarantee, a use guide, and the like of the high-value consumable or the controlled drug to the RFID, each specific object is distinguished from one another.
When an object is transported by the transport unit to an object accommodating member after the object is labeled or labeled with an RFID tag, the object accommodating member records it. Specifically, for example, when the first transporting unit 310 transports the first object to the first object accommodating component 110, first, when the RFID tag of the first object enters the reading range of the RFID reader of the first object detecting unit 210 connected to the first object accommodating component 110, the RFID tag receives the radio frequency signal sent by the reader, the RFID tag sends the identity or the product information stored in the chip by the energy obtained by the induced current, and at the same time, the RFID tag of the first transporting unit 310 receives the radio frequency signal sent by the reader, and the RFID tag sends the identity stored in the chip by the energy obtained by the induced current. Alternatively, the identity of the first shipping unit 310 may contain an indication of which object-containing component it is associated with. The first object detecting unit 210 thus obtains the identity of the first object and the first transporting unit 310 that are within its detection range, and the first object detecting unit 210 further includes an object movement direction detecting unit (not shown) to detect whether the movement direction of the object is entering the first object accommodating assembly 110 or is distant or separated from the first object accommodating assembly 110. Such a movement direction detection unit may be implemented using conventional detection elements commercially available at present, and thus will not be described in detail here. Therefore, the first object detecting unit 210 can not only acquire the identity of the first object entering its detection range and the identity of the first transporting unit 310, but also can learn the moving direction of the first object.
When the first object detecting unit 210 detects that the moving direction of the first object is entering the first object accommodating component 110, a message or an instruction is sent to the first object accommodating component 110, and the identity of the detected object and the identity of the conveying unit are notified to the first object accommodating component 110, so that the recording unit 111 of the first object accommodating component 110 records the identity of the first object. In addition to recording the identity of the first object, location information of the first object may also be recorded, for example, the identity of the first object accommodating component 110. Alternatively, the recording unit 111 may record the identity of the first object and the identity of the first transportation unit 310 transporting it at the same time. Alternatively, the binding unit 112 of the first object accommodating member 110 binds together and records the identity of the first object and the identity of the first shipping unit 310 that ships it so that the user can know which shipping unit ships the first object into the first object accommodating member 110. When the first object detecting unit 210 detects that the moving direction of the first object is away from or separated from the first object accommodating component 110, a message or an instruction is sent to the first object accommodating component 110, and the identity of the detected object and the identity of the transporting unit are notified to the first object accommodating component 110, so that the binding unit 112 of the first object accommodating component 110 binds and records the identity of the first object and the identity of the first transporting unit 310 transporting the first object. Specifically, the binding process is to generate a piece of information containing the identity of the first object and the identity of the first delivery unit 310 delivering the first object, and record or store the information. Optionally, the generated binding information may also include time information to record a specific time when the first object was detached from the first object accommodating component 110. The identity of the object separated from the object content component is bound together with the identity of the shipping unit by the binding unit 112, so that a user can inquire about what device or person the object is under, through the identity of the shipping unit contained in the binding information, even though the object is not under the control of the object accommodating component. The binding information is transmitted and stored as a piece of information in a data table established according to the identity of the object.
For example, when the transporting unit 310 transporting the first object transports the first object to the second object accommodating assembly 120 (or the third object accommodating assembly 130), the identity of the first object and the first transporting unit 310 coming within the detection range thereof is obtained with the second object detecting unit 220, and the object movement direction detecting unit (not shown) of the second object detecting unit 220 detects that the movement direction of the object is coming into the second object accommodating assembly 120. When the second object detecting unit 220 detects that the moving direction of the first object is entering the second object accommodating component 120, a message or an instruction is sent to the second object accommodating component 120, and the identity of the detected object and the identity of the conveying unit are notified to the second object accommodating component 120, so that the recording unit 121 of the second object accommodating component 1120 records the identity of the first object. Also, alternatively, the recording unit 121 may record the identity of the second object and the identity of the first transporting unit 310 transporting it at the same time. Optionally, the binding unit 212 of the second object accommodating assembly 120 binds together and records the identity of the first object and the identity of the first shipping unit 310 that shipped it, so that the user can learn which shipping unit specifically shipped the first object into the second object accommodating assembly 120. Thus, when the binding information formed by the binding unit 212 is the same as the identity of the object in the binding information formed by the binding unit 112 and the identity of the delivery unit is different, it means that the object arrives at the second object accommodating assembly 120 after being detached from the first object accommodating assembly 110, there is a situation that the delivery unit is replaced, which will result in that the object is in an untracked state during the delivery, and at this time, the alarm unit 124 in the second object accommodating assembly 120 will send an alarm signal for the object to the user.
Alternatively, when the first transporting unit 310 is associated with one object accommodating component (e.g., the second object accommodating component 120), for example, the first transporting unit 310 is managed by the second object accommodating component 120, the first object accommodating component 110 may send binding information to the second object accommodating component 120 when the first object is detached, so that the timing unit 123 of the second object accommodating component 120 calculates a time-in-transit of the first object from the detached first object accommodating component 110 to the second object accommodating component 120. When the calculated time-in-transit exceeds the predetermined time, the alarm unit 124 will issue an alarm signal for the object to the user of the second object-holding assembly. Therefore, the quality guarantee supervision effect can be achieved for some controlled medicines or high-value consumables which cannot be exposed in a conventional environment for a long time. Alternatively, also when the first object is detached from the first object accommodating assembly 110, the timing unit 113 calculates the time-in-transit time of the first object from the detached first object accommodating assembly 110 to the second object accommodating assembly 120. When the second object accommodating component 110 receives the first object, a message that the first object has been received is fed back to the first object accommodating component 110 so that the timing unit 113 stops the time-in-transit timing for the first object.
Any object will be ultimately used, so that in use, the user will detach the RFID tag from the object and reuse it. For example, in a hospital, when a user removes an object's identification tag RFID tag, the user enters the recycling bin via a recycling channel (not shown) of an unbinding instruction component (e.g., unbinding instruction component 410). Also, a reader of an RFID tag is installed in the recycling channel of the unbinding instruction component, reads the identity of the object in the disassembled identity when the identity disassembled from the object passes through the recycling channel, and transmits the identity of the unbinding instruction component itself and the identity of the object in the disassembled identity to each object accommodating component, and then stores the identity of the object together with the identity of the unbinding instruction component in the storage unit 510, and simultaneously issues an unbinding instruction to the binding unit in each object accommodating component, so that the binding unit of each object accommodating component unbinding the identity of the transport unit from the identity of the object. Optionally, the unbinding instruction component 410, 420 or 430 may further include an information acquisition unit and a prompt unit (not shown). The information acquisition unit acquires user information of the end-use object. Taking a hospital as an example, a patient is taken as an end user of high-value consumable or controlled medicine, and when the user uses the high-value consumable or controlled medicine, user information can be acquired through an information acquisition unit and stored under the identity of the object. If a doctor or a nurse forgets to collect user information of a user while using the object, the prompt unit may issue prompt information to the doctor or the nurse informing it to supplement the user information of the user of the object collected through the information collection unit when the RFID tag of the object is detached and passes through the recycling channel. Thereby enabling the tracking system to learn which user the object is ultimately used for.
After any one of the unbinding instruction components detects that the first object passes through the recycling channel, the binding unit of each object accommodating component unbinding the identity of the carrying unit and the identity of the object. Specifically, the binding unit eliminates the association between the locally recorded object identity and the identity of the delivery unit, so that the binding information between the object identity and the identity of the delivery unit is in an invalid state. Optionally, in order to eliminate confusion of information caused by repeated use of the RFID tag, the information cleaning unit of each object accommodating component cleans all local information associated with the object identity when the object accommodating component to which the information cleaning unit belongs receives the unbinding instruction.
Such as high value consumables or controlled products, have a certain shelf life. Thus, each department as a hospital should use it for a certain period of time after picking up the relevant object. When receiving any object, all object accommodating components can acquire the production date information and the final guarantee period of the object from the identity when acquiring the identity of the object, so that the timing unit can monitor and time the guarantee period. When the timing unit displays that the final guarantee period arrives or after the object is separated from the object accommodating assembly for a preset time period, the alarm unit can send out an alarm message like a user when the object accommodating assembly does not acquire any instruction sent by the unbinding instruction unit, so that the user can track the use condition of the object in time.
Through the object tracking system, a user can timely track the position and the storage state of an object and timely remind the situation beyond the management and monitoring range and the time range. More importantly, the management of the object can be closed-loop controlled by recycling the identity of the object, and the identity of the object is recycled, so that the RFID consumption is saved.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an object tracking system according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, each object detecting unit 210, 220, 230, etc. detects an object within its own detection range, and transmits the detected object identification and the identification of the transport unit 310, 320, or 330 to the corresponding object accommodating component 110, 120, or 330, while the object accommodating component uploads the obtained identification, the object moving direction, the time information, etc. to the tracking server 710, the recording unit 711 records the obtained information, and the binding unit 712 binds the object identification in the obtained information and the identification of the transport unit into binding information. This information is stored in the backup in the object tracking table in the storage unit 716 established in terms of the identity of the object. As described above, the timer unit 713 establishes various kinds of timers for the object, for example, a time of arrival of the object at a corresponding object accommodating component, a time of expiration after the object initially enters any one of the object accommodating components, and a time of use of the object, based on time information in the obtained information. When any one of the timings times out, the alarm unit 714 gives an alarm prompt to the user.
Also, when an object is finally used, the unbinding instruction unit 410, 420 or 430 transmits a message to the tracking server so that the binding unit 712 can unbind the identity of the object and the identity of the shipping unit. After a particular object is used, the cleaning unit 715 cleans all information stored in the tracking system for the particular object that is associated with its identity, including but not limited to all timing for the object, all associated information for the object (e.g., shipping unit identity, identity of the object holding component that has held the object), and so forth. Only backup information associated with the specific object that is not accessible by the recording unit, the binding unit, the timing unit and the alarm unit will always be stored in said storage unit 716.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating an object tracking method according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, in the object tracking system of the present disclosure, when an object enters the tracking system management range, first, at step S310, the object is attached with an identity tag, for example, an RFID tag, which inputs the identity content of the object, for example, a name, a production date, a expiration date, a preservation environment (such as temperature, moderate, etc.), a usage method, notes, and the like. Then at step S320, the object is transported against an object accommodating assembly by the transport unit with the identification. The first object-holding component into which an object typically enters is the middle level library, typically the largest library, of the multi-level inventory system. The conveying unit can be a specific natural person with an identity mark or a conveying robot with the identity mark. When the conveying unit enters the detection range of the object detecting unit of the object accommodating assembly, the object detecting unit acquires the moving direction of the object, the identity of the object, and the identity of the conveying unit at step S330. Subsequently, at step S340, the object accommodating component records the acquired information detected by the object detecting unit, and binds the identity of the object and the identity of the shipping unit to generate binding information, while timing for the expiration date of the object, the time-in-transit away from the object accommodating component, and the like. When it is judged whether the timer exceeds the predetermined time threshold at step S350, if there is a timer operation exceeding the predetermined time threshold, an alarm prompt is issued to the user at step S400. If not, at step S360, it is determined whether the current object accommodating component receives feedback messages sent by other object accommodating components and receiving a certain object. If so, at step S370, the in-transit time is stopped. For example, when the first object leaves the first object accommodating component 110 and then enters the second object accommodating component 120, the object detecting unit 220 corresponding to the second object accommodating component 120 detects that the first object enters the second object accommodating component, and the second object accommodating component 120 records the detected information and sends the related information to the first object accommodating component, so that the timing unit in the first object accommodating component 110 stops timing of the time-in-transit of the first object. If the time-in-transit time at which the timer is stopped is less than the predetermined time threshold, no alarm prompt is generated. Otherwise, it is determined at step S380 whether an unbinding instruction is received. If not, the process returns to step S350. If so, at step S390, the binding associated with the object is unbindd, while all timing operations associated with the object and information associated with the object are purged.
