(the action example of case)
Below, the action of the case in the present embodiment is described.Here, establish on the packing of RFID label attached to the food of being bought of information of the kind that maintains food, open date.
The user of case makes cap 2 near the packaging for foodstuff of being bought.So the wireless reading part 24 of cap 2 is from receiving the kind of food, the information of open date attached to the RFID label in the packaging for foodstuff.To control part 22 outputs, control part 22 is kept at these information in the information retaining section 23 with these information.
The user is housed in the food in the packing in the container body 1 under the state (container body 1 does not have partes tegmentalis 2 osed top states) that the lid of case is opened.Then, with cap 2 closed container main bodys 1.So cap sensor 12 detects and becomes partes tegmentalis 2 these situations of osed top state, control part 15 obtains inner capacities information according to the output of this moment weight sensor 11.Here, inner capacities information is exactly the weight of the food of being accommodated.
Control part 15 in information retaining section 13, sends this inner capacities information storage with this inner capacities information by information communication portion 14 simultaneously to cap 2 one sides.The control part 22 of cap 2 obtains inner capacities information by information communication portion 21, and is stored in the information retaining section 23.Then, be stored in the information in the information retaining section 23, on display part 25, show output (Fig. 4).
Afterwards, if the user opens cap 2 in order to use stored a part of food, and with the content taking-up, then case carries out following actions.
After the user takes out a part of content, close cap 2 (with cap 2 closed container main bodys 1), cap sensor 12 detects and becomes partes tegmentalis 2 these situations of osed top state, and control part 15 obtains inner capacities information at this moment working weight sensor 11.Here the inner capacities information that is obtained owing to be used a part, therefore is to deduct the value that obtains after the amount of use the result who recorded from last time.Control part 15 covers this inner capacities information in the information retaining section 13, by information communication portion 14 this inner capacities information is sent to cap 2 one sides simultaneously.
In addition,, replace, also can resemble so following though control part 15 will intactly cover in the information retaining section 13 from the inner capacities information that weight sensor 11 obtains and store here.That is to say, (1) " 0 " (for example weight 0 gram) remained in the information retaining section 13 as inner capacities information, receiving from weight sensor 11 under the situation of inner capacities information that the expression inner capacities is a W gram (W>0), as newly having accommodated content with the inner capacities information storage that obtained in information retaining section 13.In addition, (2) W ' (W '>0) is kept in the information retaining section 13 as inner capacities information, and be W gram (W>0 receive the expression inner capacities from weight sensor, under the situation of inner capacities information W ≠ W '), be utilized or append information as content, the inner capacities information of this acquisition is covered in the information retaining section 13.Have again, (3) " 0 " (for example weight 0 gram) remained in the information retaining section 13 as inner capacities information, the represented inner capacities of inner capacities information that is receiving from weight sensor 11, expression is that the W of not enough defined threshold ω restrains under the situation of (ω>W 〉=0), be considered as the information that content has been used up, not to information retaining section 13 canned datas.In addition, be judged as above-mentioned (3) under the situation that content used up, control part 15 can be by information communication portion 14, and the information of will the expression content having been used up (for example representing that inner capacities is the inner capacities information of " 0 ") sends to cap 2.
The control part 22 of cap 2 by information communication portion 21 received content amount information, and is stored in the information retaining section 23.Then, the information that is stored in the information retaining section 23 is shown output on display part 25.Here, in the shown information, though the information of the kind of food and open date does not still change with the same originally, inner capacities information has been updated the part of using.So, in the case of present embodiment, if the RFID label is attached on the packing of food etc., then by making cap 2 near the RFID labels that maintain the information relevant with this food, can import this information, and the information of inner capacities can be shown together.
(variation of information input)
Have, the wireless reading part 24 of cap 2 can be at cap 2 when container body 1 separates (the closed container main body 1) again, receives the signal that sends the wireless base station apparatus side of wireless signal from RFID label etc.For this reason, can with the cap sensor 12 of container body 1 similarly, on cap 2, possess switch or sensor that closed container main body 1 this situation is detected, and detect from container body 1 this situation of disengaging by the output of described switch or sensor.
By like this, have only and cap 2 is pulled down and, could the information of this RFID label be read near the RFID label, for example can be under the state of closed container main body 1 during near the packing of band RFID label, misread this information.
(information elimination)
And the control part 15 of container body 1 and the control part 22 of cap 2 are implemented the processing that the information that is stored in information retaining section 13 and the information retaining section 23 is eliminated.Specifically, during threshold value that inner capacities information (information relevant with the weight) deficiency of being exported at weight sensor 11 is predesignated, control part 15 is judged stored food and is used up, and the information that are stored in the information retaining section 13 are eliminated.The information that will be expressed as in addition, " weight 0 " sends to cap 2 one sides as inner capacities information.
The control part 22 of cap 2 receives after expression do not have the message of inner capacities (being expressed as the inner capacities information of " weight 0 " etc.), predicates content to use up, and the information that are stored in the information retaining section 23 are eliminated.
In addition, can be in order to clean or dry and under the state that cap 2 and container body 1 are separated, detect this situation of predetermined specified time that is squeezed, with the content cancellation of each information retaining section 13,23.In this case, the control part 15 of container body detects cap 2 and container body 1 has broken away from (not sealing) by cap sensor 12 grades.In addition, by utilize fluid flow or the inclination sensor of the rolling of Metal Ball waits this situation that is squeezed that detects.
Control part 15 is measured the inverted time by the time meter of not representing among the figure, after this time surpasses predetermined specified time, is considered as being emptied by clean dry and content, and the information that are stored in the information retaining section 13 are eliminated.In this case, control part 15, when detecting partes tegmentalis 2 these situations of sealing subsequently, the information (for example representing that inner capacities is the inner capacities information of " 0 ") that the expression content has been used up sends to cap 2 one sides.Then, the control part 22 of cap 2 receives the information that this content of expression has been used up, and the content of information retaining section 23 is eliminated.
Have again, use the RFID label of the signal (prearranged signal) of this implication of elimination of launching indication information, and when the wireless reading part 24 of cap 2 receives the signal of this implication of elimination of this information of indication, control part 22 can be eliminated the content of information retaining section 23, and by information communication portion 14,21, the elimination indication of elimination that should implementation information with expression sends to container body 1 one sides.At this moment, the control part 15 of container body 1 one sides when receiving this elimination indication, is eliminated the content of information retaining section 13.
(other example of inner capacities information)
In the above description, though be that the situation of weight is that example is illustrated with inner capacities information, inner capacities information also can be the number of stored content.For example, if all be attached with the RFID label on stored each article, then, just can detect the quantity of content by this RFID number of tags is counted.
In addition, also can will be divided into N the space that separates each other in the container body 1, weight sensor 11 is set in each space by dividing plate etc.At this moment, if in each space, pack content one by one into,, just can detect the quantity of content according to the number of the weight sensor 11 that detects the weight more than the defined threshold.
In addition, divide a plurality of spaces as described above, and in each space, be provided with under the situation of weight sensor 11, can by control part 15 obtain with each space in the relevant information of weight of each content.At this moment, can pass through the summation of the information of each weight of calculating, as all inner capacities information of content in the container body 1.Under the situation that dividing plate can be pulled down, dividing plate is pulled down and the situation of the content of packing under, can utilize the information of this summation.
(other example that information provides)
Have again, though cap 2 is comprised display part 25 here, 22 pairs of these display parts of control part 25 show that the situation of information is that example is illustrated, but replace, can display part also be set in container body 1 one sides, control part 15 receives the kinds of information of stored content etc. by information communication portion 14,21, also can resemble to carry out same demonstration shown in Figure 4 on this display part.
In addition, at least one side in the information communication portion 14,21 of container body 1 or cap 2, for example can communicate, other household appliances (for example refrigerator etc.) be sent the information and the inner capacities information such as kind of output content thing with near the household appliances of (several meters to maximum about 100 meters scopes on every side) or modem apparatus etc.
Have again, also can communicate, to the information and the inner capacities information such as kind of transmission output content things such as vehicular telephone by network or with mobile telephone network.
In addition, a side of the present invention is an information provider unit, is the device that the surplus to the determination object thing detects.Here, the determination object thing is according to using the change article of (for example reducing) of inner capacities, specifically, is remaining beverage or food in packing or the bottle.Below, be that example describes as the determination object thing with beverage or food.
Fig. 5 represents information provider unit is installed in as the example on the packing container that keeps container.Packing container, owing to can not seal basically, so behind Kaifeng, can not be horizontal under the state of drinking.For this container that can not be horizontal, as shown in Figure 5, a sending part 1 and acceptance division 2 are set at least respectively in the top and the bottom of above-mentioned packing container.Like this, the beverage as determination object of sending part 1 and acceptance division 2 clampings relatively disposes.
In addition, this information provider unit comprises the control part 3 and the emission part 4 that link to each other with acceptance division 2 with above-mentioned sending part 1 as shown in Figure 6.Here, control part 3 receives from after the exterior mensuration indicator signal, from the electromagnetic wave (electric wave) of sending part 1 to acceptance division 2 emission assigned frequencies.This electromagnetic frequency, for example be set in because of the caused rate of attenuation of moisture than in the higher frequency band.Specifically, be made as frequency about employed 2.4GHz such as micro-wave oven.
Control part 3 can be realized by the microcomputer that is built-in with memory element.This control part 3 is measured the electromagnetic signal strength that is received by acceptance division 2.In addition, establish the strength rating MAX that stores the signal that is received when liquid becomes empty in advance, the value MIN of the signal strength under the state of Kaifeng not.Because the electromagnetic wave that received, be sent out the moisture absorption between portion 1 and the acceptance division 2 and decay, therefore as shown in Figure 7, its signal strength reduces along with the inner capacities of beverage and becomes big.Control part 3, what kind of degree value MAX according to the signal strength of being measured during with respect to empty bottle and the value MIN when not using are, come surplus is inferred, and generate the information (surplus information) of the surplus that expression inferred, and export to emission part 4.Emission part 4 for example is the RF label, will be modulated into signal from the information of control part 3 inputs, and with this signal emission.
Here, the surplus information that control part 3 generates, can be divided into " height ", " in ", the information in stage of " low ", " sky " these 4 stages etc., expression surplus.In this case, control part 3 in advance as shown in Figure 8, storage is the threshold information that beverage is determined to every kind of content, and use this threshold information, the value of the signal strength of measuring for for example stage " in " more than the pairing threshold value and during deficiency " height " pairing threshold value, be output as the stage " in " information.
In addition, Fig. 9 represent information provider unit with present embodiment be installed in behind the Kaifeng also can leak free PET bottle etc. example on the container.Because horizontal sometimes in this case, therefore only on top with the bottom is provided with sending part 1 respectively and acceptance division 2 can not obtain correct measurement result.Therefore, in the maintenance container of this can the sealing (can be horizontal), the short transverse when longitudinally place keeping container, be provided with to devices spaced apart a plurality of sending parts 1 and acceptance division 2 group (transmission reception group) 10a, 10b ...What represent among Fig. 9 is, this group of 10a, 10b ..., be set at the position of 1/4 height till the liquid level of bottom surface when not breaking a seal, the position of 1/2 height, these 3 locational states of position of 3/4 height.
Here, sending part 1 and acceptance division 2 in each group 10, positioned opposite to each other.And each group 10 is provided with as following.That is to say, consider to connect 1 and have the sending part 1 of group 10 and the line segment (the 1st line segment) of acceptance division 2 in mind.In addition, consider to connect another sending part 1 of having group 10 in mind and the line segment (the 2nd line segment) of acceptance division 2.At this moment, it is intersected with each other that a plurality of transmission reception groups are set to the 1st line segment and the 2nd line segment.Illustrative among Fig. 9 is that group 10 is configured to the state with respect to next group 10 rotation 60 degree.
By like this, when vertically placing, as yet not under the state of consumable beverage, the value MIN of received signal intensity of each group 10 when not using.In addition, along with the minimizing of beverage, from being arranged on the signal strength of group 10 of top, the value MAX when changing to empty bottle successively.For example, when the beverage of having drunk about 1/3, because beverage less than 2/3 (less than 3/4) in the container, become degree than more than 1/2, therefore the received signal intensity that is arranged in the group 10 of topmost becomes MAX, and the received signal intensity in locational group 10 of the position of 1/2 height when being arranged on full amount and 1/4 height still is MIN.
On the other hand, under horizontal situation, under the state of beverage not, for example shown in Figure 10 A, in the group 10 of sending part 1 and acceptance division 2, the value MIN of the received signal intensity of 2 (1b, 2b and 1c, 2c respectively organize 10) when not using, the received signal intensity of another (group 10 of 1a, 2a) is the value higher slightly than MIN (numerical value that causes decrement to diminish because of the part of air layer A).In addition, when having drunk beverage over half, for example shown in Figure 10 B, in the group 10 of sending part 1 and acceptance division 2, the received signal intensity of 1 (group 10 of 1b, 2b) becomes MAX, and the received signal intensity of other 2 (1a, 2a and 1c, 2c respectively organize 10) becomes the value lower slightly than MAX (because of the part of the liquid measure big numerical value of quantitative change that causes decaying).
In this example, control part 3 judges that according to the received signal intensity of each group 10 it still is horizontal state that container is in vertical configuration state.Just as mentioned above, when vertical putting, each organizes 10 received signal intensity for being similar to any one party of MIN or approximate MAX; Relative therewith, when horizontal, the received signal intensity of at least 1 group 10 is the intermediate value between MIN and the MAX.Therefore, control part 3 is not under the approximate MIN situation that neither be similar to MAX (for example not being the situation of the numerical value in MIN or the MAX specialized range) in the received signal intensity of any one group in 10, concludes that container is in horizontal state.
And, when being judged as vertical putting, be the number of the group 10 of MIN according to received signal intensity, generate surplus information, export to emission part 4.
In addition, be judged as when horizontal, select maximum in values of received signal intensity of each group 10 outputs one, and according to this maximum value, value MAX during with respect to empty bottle and the value MIN when not using, what kind of degree is the signal strength of mensuration be, comes surplus is inferred, and generate the information (surplus information) of representing this surplus of inferring out, export to emission part 4.
Information provider unit in this way, the container that for example will attach this information provider unit leaves in the refrigerator, according to the indication from the user, sends the mensuration indicator signal from refrigerator one side.So,, the information of the surplus of the food (for example curry powder paste etc.) of beverage in the container of being installed or mobile shape is detected, and sends this information in information provider unit one side.This information is for example read by the information read device that is installed in the refrigerator side, and by network to transmissions such as user's mobile phone.
In addition, the information provider unit in the another side of the present invention is described.Information provider unit in this side for example in refrigerator, is provided with one group of sending part 1 and acceptance division 2 at least, and it clips placement and is oppositely arranged as the beverage of determination object or the place of food.Concrete example as shown in figure 11, each of corresponding egg place to place of placing egg one by one above it, is provided with sending part 1 on the courtyard part in placing the storehouse, below egg place to place one by one acceptance division 2 is set.
In addition, in the information provider unit in this case, comprise the control part 3 that links to each other with acceptance division 2 with these sending parts 1.Control part 3, receive the input of measuring indicator signal from the outside after, with the electromagnetic wave of assigned frequency from sending part 1 to acceptance division 2 emissions.This electromagnetic frequency, for example be set in because of the caused rate of attenuation of moisture than in the higher frequency band.Specifically, be made as frequency about employed 2.4GHz such as micro-wave oven.
Control part 3 is measured the electromagnetic signal strength that is received by acceptance division 2.In addition, store the value MAX of intensity of the signal that does not have the placing objects thing and receive when (beverage or food) and the value MIN of the signal strength when being placed with object in advance.Because the electromagnetic wave that received, be positioned at the moisture absorption between sending part 1 and the acceptance division 2 and decay, its signal strength is placed betwixt under the situation of beverage or food and is smaller value.Control part 3, value MAX when relatively not placing and the value MIN when placing, what kind of degree is the signal strength of measuring be, judges beverage or food in fact whether to have placed as this object, generates the information (surplus information) and the output of this judged result of expression.This output for example by network, sends to user's mobile phone etc.
That is to say, in the present embodiment, utilize in the egg place to place actual when being placed with egg with place be the such little article of pipe dress mustard the time rate of attenuation different.That is, control part 3, the value of the value MIN of the signal strength in the time of will being placed with object (for example egg) and the received signal intensity that obtained by each acceptance division 2 compares.Then, when their the not enough predetermined threshold value of difference, what be judged as placement is egg, and when above-mentioned difference during more than or equal to predetermined threshold value, what then be judged as placement is that article or any article outside the egg are not placed yet.
Then, control part 3, can to output be that the quantity of acceptance division 2 that is judged to be the value of the received signal intensity that is placed with egg is counted, this count results is sent as the egg number.
According to this information provider unit, can manage surpluses such as beverages, and the bottle after will sealing etc. is when horizontal or under the situation of having placed the article outside the egg (for example pipe dress mustard etc.) on the deposit position of egg, also can carry out surplus and measure, enlarge the occasion that to utilize.
