Fig. 6 is a plan view showing an internal configuration of an example of the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 6 is a view of the turntable 110 in a state where the container 500 is stored in the container storage unit 120, as viewed from above. Fig. 6(a) shows a state in which the container 500 (container 501) is positioned above the extraction port 106. Fig. 6(a) is a view of the liquid discharge apparatus 100 of fig. 5 as viewed from above. The position of the container 501 above the drawing port 106 is referred to as a discharge position PosA. In the liquid discharging apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, since the containers 500 can be stored in a total of 5 container storage units 120, the containers 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505 sequentially reach the discharge position PosA by rotating the rotary table 110 by 72 ° about the rotation axis 112.
Fig. 6(B) shows a state in which the turntable 110 is rotated by 36 degrees in the direction of the arrow a from the state shown in fig. 6 (a). Fig. 6(B) shows a state in which the intermediate portion between the container 501 and the container 502 is positioned above the extraction port 106. A position on the opposite side of the discharge position PosA with respect to the rotation shaft 112 (the position of the container 504 in fig. 6B) is referred to as a replacement position PosB. In fig. 6(B), the container 504(500) is rotated 36 ° by rotating the turntable 110 shown in fig. 6(a) by 36 °, and is positioned at PosB. When the container lid 108 is opened, the container 500 located at the replacement position PosB is exposed to the outside. The user can exchange the container 500 located at the exchange position PosB with another container 500.
In this way, in the liquid discharging apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the rotary table 110 is rotated by 36 ° about the rotary shaft 112, and thereby the containers 501 to 505 can be sequentially set to the discharge position PosA or the replacement position PosB.
In the liquid discharging apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the discharge position PosA and the replacement position PosB are different in position in a plan view (plan view).
In this way, the container 500 can be attached to the liquid discharge apparatus 100.

The server storage unit 303 stores the processed information and the like. The server storage unit 303 includes a container database 3031. Table 1 shows an example of the container database 3031 according to the present embodiment. The container database 3031 includes fields for "unique identifier", "type of liquid material", "status", "used device", "remaining amount", and "lifetime".
[ Table 1]
The "unique identifier" indicates unique identification information assigned to each container 500. Such as a string of numbers "201900001," etc. The "unique identifier" is not limited to a numeric string, and may be a combination with a character.
The "liquid material type" indicates a liquid material type of the liquid material stored (filled) in the container 500. For example, when the liquid material is a cosmetic product or the like, the liquid material indicates the type of the product such as a cosmetic product. Table 2 shows an example of "liquid material type" in the present embodiment. The liquid body stored in the container 500 used in the liquid body discharging apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is denoted by a reference numeral and is stored in the container database 3031. As shown in table 2, the liquid material categories were classified into 5 liquid material groups. Group 1 is a liquid body group for regulating mood with flavor components. Group 2 is a liquid body group in which the function of the skin is appropriately adjusted. Group 3 is a liquid group for regulating oil and water in the skin.

In addition, the RFID tag 550 of the container 500 stores the corresponding values of the "unique identifier" and the "liquid material type" stored in the container database 3031.
"status" indicates what state the container 500 is in. Table 1 shows an example of "state" in the present embodiment. "Pre-shipment" means that the container 500 is in a pre-factory-shipment state. "shipped" indicates a state in which the container 500 has been shipped from the factory but has not been used. "in use" means that the container 500 is currently in use. "no remaining amount" indicates a state where there is no remaining amount of the container 500. "collection" means a state where the container 500 is collected from the user and collected to a factory or the like.
"use device" means a device that uses the container 500. Specifically, the unique number of the liquid discharge apparatus 100 used is stored. When the container 500 is not used by the liquid material discharging apparatus 100, "used device" recorded may be stored so that "unused" or the like indicates that there is no liquid material discharging apparatus 100 in use.
The "container storage unit" indicates in which "container storage unit" the container 500 into which the RFID550 is read is stored. For example, the container 500 is represented by "a" when it is stored in the container storage section 121, and similarly represented by "B" to "E" when it is stored in the container storage sections 122 to 125. The symbol indicating the container storage unit is not limited to a letter such as "a", and other symbols may be used. When the container 500 is not used by the liquid material discharging device 100, the "container storage unit" in the record may be stored so that it is known that there is no liquid material discharging device 100 used, such as "unused".
The "remaining amount" represents an estimated value of the amount of the liquid material remaining in the container 500. As the estimated value, the amount of the full tank is stored in a ratio to the full tank, assuming that the amount of the full tank is 100 in table 1. The estimated value may be a value of the amount itself.
The term "life" refers to the life of the liquid stored in the container 500. Note that the RFID tag 550 of the container 500 may record a corresponding "lifetime" value stored in the container database 3031.

(step S110) the device control unit 141 instructs the RFID control unit 148 to read the information recorded in the RFID 550. The RFID control unit 148 reads information recorded in the RFID550 and transmits the read information of the RFID tag 550 to the device control unit 141. The information read from the RFID tag 550 includes a unique identifier, a liquid material type, and a lifetime.
(step S120) the device control unit 141 creates container-related information, which is information related to the container 500 into which the RFID550 has been read, based on the information of the RFID tag 550 that has been read. Specifically, information including the unique identifier, the liquid material type, the device identification number of the device, and the information of the container storage unit 120 in which the container 500 having the read RFID550 is stored is created as the container-related information.
(step S130) the apparatus control unit 141 controls the communication control unit 142 to transmit the container-related information to the server apparatus 300 via the communication unit 180.
(step S200) the server communication unit 310 receives the container-related information transmitted from the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 from the network 400. The server communication control unit 302 transmits the container-related information received by the server communication unit 310 to the server control unit 301.
(step S210) the server control unit 301 updates the record of the container database 3031 when it is necessary to update the record based on the received container-related information.
For example, when the "state" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "shipped" with respect to the received container of the container-related information, the "used device" and the "container storage unit" of the corresponding record of the container database 3031 are, for example, "unused". Therefore, the "used device" of the matching record is updated to the device identification number of the received container related information. Further, the "container storage unit" of the corresponding record is updated based on the information of the container storage unit 120 that stores the container 500 included in the received container-related information. Also, the "state" of the matching record is updated to "in use". By performing the processing in this way, it is not necessary to manage which liquid material discharge apparatus 100 is used when shipping the container 500, and the container 500 and the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 can be associated with each other later. Further, if the user (user) of the liquid material discharging apparatus 100 is known, it can be determined which user (user) is using the container 500.
(step S220) the server control unit 301 instructs the liquid material discharging apparatus 100 to perform a predetermined process based on the received container-related information. Further, the server control unit 301 instructs the information processing terminal 200 to perform predetermined processing based on the received container-related information, as necessary. Specifically, the server control unit 301 generates an operation instruction in which instruction contents are specified for a predetermined process, and transmits the operation instruction to the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 or the information processing terminal 200 via the server communication unit 310.
An example of the operation instruction generated by the server control unit 301 will be described.
(example 1) replacement of Container
In the case where the "state" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "no remaining amount", the device identification number of the received container-related information, and the information of the container storage unit are the same as the "used device" and the "container storage unit" of the corresponding record of the container database 3031, the container of the received container-related information is determined to have no remaining amount as a result of using the container 500. Then, the server control unit 301 generates an operation instruction to the liquid material discharging apparatus 100 to replace the container 500, and generates an operation instruction to the information processing terminal 200 to display a message prompting the replacement of the container.
(example 2) Warning of incorrect insertion of empty Container
In the case where the "state" of the record of the corresponding container database 3031 is "no remaining amount", the device identification number of the received container-related information, and the information on the container storage unit are different from the "used device" and the "container storage unit" of the corresponding record of the container database 3031, the container 500 determined to be empty of the liquid material is erroneously inserted. Then, the server control unit 301 generates an operation instruction to the liquid material discharging apparatus 100 to replace the container 500, generates a warning to the information processing terminal 200 to perform erroneous insertion, and performs an operation instruction to prompt a display to replace the container.
(example 3) replacement based on expiration of Life
When the "lifetime" recorded in the corresponding container database 3031 exceeds the date of operation, the server control unit 301 generates an operation instruction to the liquid material discharging apparatus 100 to replace the corresponding container 500, and generates an operation instruction to the information processing terminal 200 to warn that the lifetime has passed and to display a prompt to replace the container.
(example 4) Warning of erroneous insertion into a Container storage section different from the predetermined Container storage section
In the liquid discharge apparatus 100, a rotary table 110 is used. The containers stored in the container storage unit 120 of the rotary table 110 are determined according to the liquid material set. Therefore, when the "container storage unit" of the received container-related information is different from the "container storage unit" corresponding to the liquid material group of the "liquid material type" of the received container-related information, it is determined that the container storage unit different from the predetermined container storage unit is erroneously inserted. Then, the server control unit 301 generates an operation instruction indicating that the replacement of the container 500 is appropriate and the liquid material discharge apparatus 100 is not a corresponding product. Further, the server control unit 301 generates a warning of erroneous insertion into a different position and performs an operation instruction to prompt display of the position of the container to be replaced to the information processing terminal 200.
(step S150) the device control unit 141 controls the communication control unit 142 to receive an operation instruction from the server device 300 via the communication unit 180.
(step S160) the device control unit 141 controls the liquid material discharging device 100 based on the received operation instruction.
(step S300) the information processing terminal 200 performs processing based on the received operation instruction.
In the above description, the liquid material discharging apparatus 100 receives the operation instruction from the server apparatus 300 and performs the processing based on the received operation instruction, but the processing may be performed by the liquid material discharging apparatus 100.
For example, after the information of the RFID tag 550 is read in step S120, the processing may be performed in step S160 based on the information.
A specific processing example will be explained. The information recorded in the RFID tag 550 is assumed to include the "remaining amount" and the "lifetime".
(example 5) replacement of Container
When the "remaining amount" recorded in the RFID tag 550 is "0", the device control unit 141 operates the liquid material discharging device 100 to replace the corresponding container 500.
(example 6) replacement based on expiration of Life
When the "lifetime" recorded in the RFID tag 550 exceeds the date of operation, the apparatus control unit 141 operates the liquid discharging apparatus 100 to replace the container 500 in accordance with the operation.
(example 7) Warning of erroneous insertion into a Container storage section different from the predetermined Container storage section
In the liquid discharge apparatus 100, a rotary table 110 is used. The containers stored in the container storage unit 120 of the rotary table 110 are determined according to the liquid material set. Therefore, when the container storage unit 120 that stores the container 500 into which the RFID tag 550 is read is different from the container storage unit corresponding to the liquid material group of the "liquid material type" of the RFID tag 550, it is determined that the container storage unit different from the predetermined container storage unit is erroneously inserted. Then, the device control unit 141 operates the liquid discharge device 100 to replace the corresponding position of the container 500, and notifies that the product is not a corresponding product.
