Is a transmission unit that transmits the warning information 43 stored in the. Even when there are a plurality of warning transmitters 3, the same warning information "ABCDE" is transmitted.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal stores the destination information of the zoo in FIG. 1 in the main memory 12 in advance.
Suppose you go to the zoo with one.

First, the user enters the zoo. At this time, if the display unit 14 does not display the “destination list”, the user selects the “list display” button on the information input unit 17. Then, the information input unit 17 sends a mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "destination list" mode to the display unit 14, and the "destination list" is displayed on the display unit 14 (see FIG. 3). Then, it is assumed that the user selects an animal ("elephant" and "monkey" in the present embodiment) to be observed from the "destination list" in the information input unit 17. At this time, the information input section 17
Sends a destination selection signal 23 for selecting "elephant" and "monkey" to the main memory 12, and from the main memory 12 receiving the destination selection signal 23, stores destination registration data 24 of each animal in the sub memory.
13 and the sub-memory 13 sequentially stores them. Therefore, data as shown in FIG. If the wrong destination has been registered, the user selects the “register display” button on the information input unit 17. Then, the information input unit 17 sends a mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "destination registration" mode to the display unit 14, and "destination registration" is displayed on the display unit 14. Then, in the displayed information, the destination to which the registration is to be deleted is selected by the information input unit 17. As a result, the information input unit 17 sends a registration deletion signal 25 to the sub memory 13, and the sub memory 13 deletes the selected destination data.

After the registration is completed, the user starts to walk in the zoo, and assuming that the user heads for the monkey, when the user approaches the monkey, the receiving unit 11 transmits the unique ID “klm” from the ID transmitter 2f.
Since “n” is received, “klmn” is sent to the data processing unit 15 as received data 18. Then, the data processing unit 15 stores the unique ID “klm
n ”is detected, it is determined that the destination is approaching, and a voice guidance signal 26 is sent to the voice output unit 16. Then, the audio output section
16 notifies the user of the approach of the destination by voice. At the same time, the data processing unit 15 sends a mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "arrival destination" mode and the destination arrival data 20 to the display unit 14, and the display unit 14 switches to the "arrival destination" mode and The destination name (“monkey”) is displayed (see FIG. 5). Therefore, the user who notices the voice notification and looks at the display unit 14 knows that he / she is now at the place where the “monkey” is.

Next, the user operates the information input unit 17 to confirm the arrival.
By selecting the button, the portable terminal 1 is notified that the arrival at the destination has been confirmed. As a result, the information input unit 17 sends a voice stop signal 27 to the voice output unit 16, and the voice output unit 16 stops the voice notification. At the same time, the information input unit 17 sends a registration deletion signal 25 to the sub memory 13, and the destination data of "monkey" is deleted from the sub memory 13. In other words, in response to the notification of the approach of the destination, the user determines that the user has noticed the approach of the destination due to the input operation of the confirmation, and the registered destination is deleted and the voice notification is stopped.

As a matter of course, when the receiving unit 11 receives the unique ID of the destination that has not been registered, the receiving data 18
And all destination registration data 22 do not match, so that voice notification and display of "arrival of destination" are not performed. When the portable terminal 1 receives the unique IDs of a plurality of registered destinations at the same time, a plurality of destination arrival data 20 are sent to the display unit 14, and all of them are displayed on the display unit 14.

Next, consider the case where the user has come near the "elephant" but has passed through it. In this case, once the mobile terminal 1 receives the unique ID “klmn” of “monkey”,
Although the voice notification and the “arrival of destination” display are performed, if the user passes by without noticing the voice notification and the “arrival of destination” display, the receiving unit 11 cannot receive the unique ID “cdef” soon, and the received data 18 Will no longer match all destination registration data 22.
An audio stop signal 27 is output from the data processing unit 15 to the audio output unit 16, and the audio notification is stopped. Data processing unit 15
Does not output the destination arrival data 20 to the display unit 14, so that nothing is displayed on the display unit 14. Also, at this time, since the user has not selected the "arrival confirmation" button in the information input section 17, the registration deletion signal 25 is not sent, and the destination data for "elephant" is not deleted from the result sub memory 13. . In other words, in response to the notification of the approaching destination, if there is no input operation from the user and the user leaves the destination, the user determines that the user has not noticed the approaching destination and leaves the registration of the destination. Since it is not near, the voice notification of the approaching destination is stopped. Therefore, while the registration of the destination remains in the sub memory 13, it can be considered that the user has not arrived at the destination.

Next, it is assumed that the user tries to leave the zoo without returning to the "elephant". Then, the receiving unit 11 receives the warning information 43 transmitted by the warning transmitter 3 installed immediately before the exit, so the data processing unit 15 checks whether there is any destination data remaining in all the destination registration data 22. I do. As described above, all destination registration data 22 still contain "elephant"
Data processing section
15 determines that the destination has not arrived, sends a voice guidance signal 26 to the voice output unit 16, and the voice output unit 16 performs voice notification. At the same time, the data processing unit 15 sends a mode switching signal 19 for switching to the “destination registration” mode to the display unit 14, and the display unit 14 displays “destination registration”. You can see that there are animals you haven't seen yet (in this case, "elephants"), so you can see them before you leave the zoo. At this time, when the user selects the “stop sound” button from the information input unit 17, the information input unit 17
Sends an audio stop signal 27 to the audio output unit 16, so that the audio notification is stopped.

In the case of a zoo that pays an entrance fee and enters a specific area, once the user leaves the zoo, he must pay the entrance fee again to enter again. By registering an animal to be viewed in advance and installing the warning transmitter 3 immediately before the exit of the zoo, it is possible to prevent the animal from leaving the zoo without looking at the animal that the user wants to see.

When the user selects the "arrival confirmation" button in response to the notification of approaching the destination, instead of deleting the registration of the destination, "confirmed" indicating that the user has performed a confirmation input operation. If the data is written to the destination data of the sub memory 13, when the warning information 43 is received, a destination in which “confirmed” data is not written in the destination data of the sub memory 13 is found, and It can also warn you that you have not arrived. In addition, when a notification of approaching the destination is given, but the destination registration is not deleted due to no input from the user, “passed” data indicating that the approaching destination has been reached is stored in the sub memory 13. By writing the data in the destination data, when the "destination registration" mode is displayed on the display unit 14, depending on the presence or absence of the "passed" data, the user did not approach or approached the destination. Can be determined whether or not noticed.

(Second Embodiment) In a place where the user is used,
Although it is easy for the user to recognize the arrival of the destination,
It is difficult to ensure that the user does not miss any actions to take at that destination. This embodiment solves such a problem.

This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that, when the user arrives at the destination, the terminal presents a function to present the items to be performed by the user at the destination, and the terminal performs all the functions. It has a function to prompt the user.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the system of the present invention is operated in a hospital. In the following, the same reference numerals are given to components equivalent to those in the above-described embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication. Reference numeral 51 denotes a function for inputting and displaying information on the destination, in addition to a function for registering and deleting a destination and notifying that the registered destination has not been reached, similarly to the mobile terminal 1 of the first embodiment. It is a mobile terminal with. In this embodiment, since it is assumed that the user can easily recognize the arrival of the destination, the portable terminal 51 does not perform the voice notification when the destination is approaching.

FIG. 9 shows the configuration of the portable terminal 51. Reference numeral 61 denotes work item data including items to be acted on at the registered destination. The work item data 61 can be input by the user from the information input unit 17 when the destination is registered as in the first embodiment, and the input work item data 61 is stored in the sub memory 13.
Sent to Therefore, the sub memory 13 stores data obtained by adding the work item data 61 to the destination name and the unique ID as the destination data. Accordingly, the destination arrival data 20 and the all destination registration data 22 are also data obtained by adding the work item data 61. As described above, since the portable terminal 51 does not make a voice notification when the destination is approaching, the data processing unit 15 sends the voice guidance signal 26 to the voice output unit 16 when determining that the destination is approaching. However, since the mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "destination arrival" mode and the destination arrival data 20 are output, the display unit 14 displays "destination arrival". At this time, since the destination arrival data 20 includes the work item data 61, the display unit 14 displays the work item data 61 together with the name of the destination (FIG. 12A). Here, the work item data 61 is displayed with a check box in order to prompt the user to confirm the work.
Can be checked by user input. A check signal 62 indicates an item checked by the user. The check signal 62 is sent to the data processing unit 15 every time the user inputs a check for each item. Each time the data processing unit 15 receives the check signal 62, the data processing unit 15 determines whether or not all items have been checked based on all the destination registration data 22. As a result of the determination, if all the items are checked, the user enters the work item data 61
Is confirmed, the data processing unit 15 sends a registration deletion signal 25 for deleting the destination displayed on the display unit 14 to the sub memory 13. In the configuration of the present embodiment, checking all the items corresponds to selecting the “arrival confirmation” button in the first embodiment, so that the destination is registered on the display unit 14 in the “destination arrival” mode. The "Arrival Confirmation" button for deleting is not displayed.

If the data processing unit 15 determines that the destination is no longer approaching and determines that all the items displayed on the display unit 14 are not checked, the data processing unit 15
Sends a voice guidance signal 26 to the voice output unit 16 assuming that the user has not completed the work at the approaching destination, and the voice output unit 16 makes a voice notification. When the data processing unit 15 determines again that the destination is approaching the same destination while outputting the voice guidance signal 26, the voice stop signal 27
Is sent to the audio output unit 16, the audio output unit 16 stops the audio notification.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the display section 14 displaying a "destination list". The hospital room and the unique ID stored in the main memory 12 are displayed. In addition, a “registration display” button and an “arrival display” button are displayed.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the display section 14 displaying "destination registration". The hospital room, unique ID, and work item data 61 stored in the sub memory 13 are displayed. Also,
"List display" button, "arrival display" button, and "voice stop" button are displayed.

FIG. 12A shows an example of the display section 14 displaying "arrival at destination". The display unit 14 receives the destination arrival data 20 and displays the name of the approached destination and a list of work items. However, since the work has not been performed yet, the items are not checked. Also, a “list display” button and a “registration display” button are displayed.

FIG. 12 (b) shows the state of FIG.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state where two items are checked.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, a description will be given of a case where a nurse goes around the patient's patrol using the portable terminal 51 in which the destination data in the hospital shown in FIG. 8 is stored in the main memory 12 in advance.

First, suppose that the nurse tries to register No. 102 which needs to perform "measurement of body temperature" and "measurement of blood pressure" before going on a tour. In this case, the nurse selects No. 102 from the information input units 17 to 102 in the "destination list" mode as in the first embodiment. Input "Temperature measurement" and "Blood pressure measurement". Thereby, the information input unit 17 sends the destination selection signal 23 for selecting the No. 102 to the main memory 12, and the “body temperature measurement” and the “blood pressure measurement”
Is sent to the sub-memory 13. Then, the destination registration data 24 and the work item data 61 sent from the main memory 12 are stored in the sub memory 13 as the destination data of No. 102. Similarly, the work item data 61 of No. 104 was registered as “injection”, and the work item data 61 of No. 106 was registered as “interview” and “blood pressure measurement”. It looks like 11.

Next, it is assumed that the nurse completes registration of the destination and goes on a tour.

First, when the nurse arrives at No. 102 and the receiving unit 11 receives the unique ID "4567", the data processing unit 15 determines that the destination is approaching, as in the first embodiment. At this time, the data processing unit 15 displays the mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "destination arrival" mode and the destination arrival data 20 on the display unit 14.
Is displayed, the display unit 14 switches to the “destination arrival” mode, and displays the name of the approached destination (“No. 102”) and the work item data 61 (“body temperature measurement” and “blood pressure measurement”) ( FIG.
(a)). Thereby, the nurse can act while checking the work item data 61 on the display unit 14. Then, it is assumed that the nurse performs “measurement of body temperature” and “measurement of blood pressure” of the patient of No. 102, and checks these items from the information input unit 17 (see FIG. 12B). Then, the information input unit 17 sends a check signal 62 indicating that the items of “measurement of body temperature” and “measurement of blood pressure” are checked to the data processing unit 15, and the data processing unit 15 checks all the items. It is determined that all the actions in No. 102 have been performed, and a registration deletion signal 25 for deleting the destination data of No. 102 is sent to the sub memory 13, and the destination data of No. 102 is deleted from the sub memory 13.

When the portable terminal 51 simultaneously receives the unique IDs of a plurality of registered destinations, the display unit 14 displays all the destination arrival data 20 sent from the data processing unit 15 as in the first embodiment. indicate.

Next, it is assumed that the nurse enters the room 104, but the nurse only stops at the room 104 and leaves the room 104 without performing the "injection" of the work item data 61. Then, since the receiving unit 11 cannot receive the unique ID “cdef” of No. 104, the data processing unit 15 determines that the destination is not in the approaching state and enters the item of the work item data 61 (“Injection”) of No. 104 Since the check is not made, it is determined that the work is not completed, and the voice guidance signal 26 is sent to the voice output unit 16. The voice output unit 16 that has received the voice guidance signal 26 notifies by voice that the nurse is not performing any action to be taken at the destination (here, “No. 104”).
You realize that you haven't taken any action in the issue and can return to issue 104. Thereafter, when the nurse performs an “injection” on the patient No. 104 and checks the “injection” item, the data processing unit 15 stores the
Since the registration deletion signal 25 for deleting the destination data of No. 4 is sent, the destination data of No. 104 is deleted from the sub memory 13. When the nurse returns to No. 104 during the voice notification and returns to the destination approaching state again, the data processing unit 15 sends a voice stop signal 27 to the voice output unit 16 so that the voice output unit
16 stops voice notification.

Finally, consider a case where the nurse forgets to stop at No. 106 and returns to the nurse station.

At this time, when the receiving unit 11 receives the warning information 43, the data processing unit 15 checks whether there is any destination data remaining in all the destination registration data 22 as in the first embodiment.
Then, since the destination data for No. 106 remains, the data processing unit 15 determines that the destination has not arrived, sends a voice guidance signal 26 to the voice output unit 16, and the voice output unit 16 has arrived by voice. Notify that there is no destination. At the same time, the data processing unit 15 sends a mode switching signal 19 for switching to the “destination registration” mode to the display unit 14, and the display unit 14 displays the “destination registration” mode. Therefore, the nurse who notices this notice can check the hospital room (in this case, “No. 106”) that has not been visited on the display unit 14 and can go to visit No. 106. At this time, as in the first embodiment, when the “voice stop” button is selected by the information input unit 17, the voice notification stops.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, destination information specialized for a certain destination, such as work item data 61,
By presenting to the user when he arrives at the destination, information can be provided in a timely manner, and the destination registration is not deleted until the destination information is checked, so the user is the destination It is not necessary to cause a leak in the action to be taken. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the work item data 61 is stored in advance, after that, only an ID transmitter for determining whether or not the user has arrived at the destination is installed. Usability can be realized.

(Third Embodiment) This embodiment is an example of a system for simultaneously notifying a user of arrival at a destination and providing information at the destination.

FIG. 13 shows the configuration of the present system in a supermarket. In the following, the same reference numerals are given to components equivalent to those in the above-described embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication. Reference numeral 71 denotes a portable terminal having a function of registering and deleting a destination, inputting and displaying information at the destination, and notifying that the registered destination has not been reached, as in the portable terminal 51 of the second embodiment. is there. Further, in this embodiment, the portable terminal 71 has a function of downloading and rewriting the destination data from outside. In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the mobile terminal 71 is in the state of approaching the destination, the portable terminal 71 makes a voice notification. Reference numeral 72 denotes a destination data transmitter for transmitting destination data. The name of the sales floor in the supermarket, the IDs transmitted by the ID transmitters 2a ... 2h installed at each sales floor, and the present embodiment are additionally implemented. In the example, today's special sale information for each counter is transmitted.

FIG. 14 shows the structure of the portable terminal 71. Unlike the previous embodiment, the display unit 14 of the present embodiment displays a “data rewrite” mode for downloading the destination data stored in the main memory 12 in addition to the three modes in the previous embodiment. I do. Accordingly, the display unit 14 displays a “rewrite display” button for switching to the “data rewrite” mode in each of the above three modes. When the user selects the “rewrite display” button using the information input unit 17,
A mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "data rewriting" mode is sent to the display unit 14, and the display unit 14 displays "data rewriting" (FIG. 15).

It is sent to the main memory 12 as 21. Then the main memory 12
The old destination data stored in the destination data is overwritten on all the destination data 21, and the download of the destination data is completed.
Next, it is assumed that the user who has finished downloading the destination data wishes to buy 300 g of beef at a meat counter, for example, when registering the destination. In this case, first, the user causes the information input unit 17 to display “destination list” on the display unit 14 (FIG. 1).
6), select "Meat section" and enter "300 g of beef" as memo information 82. Then, similarly to the second embodiment, the destination registration data 24 and the memo information 82 relating to the “meat counter” are stored in the sub memory 13. In the same manner, as a destination, "side dish counter", and as memo information 82, "3 croquettes"
Also, looking at today's special sale information, enter "candy shop" as the destination and "potato chips" as the memo information 82, and display "destination registration" when registering the destination
FIG. 17 shows what is displayed in FIG.

Next, it is assumed that the user who has completed the registration approaches the "meat counter". Then, the receiving unit 11 receives the unique ID “89ab”, and the data processing unit 15 determines that the destination is approaching, as in the first embodiment.
Is sent to the audio output unit 16, and the audio output unit 16 notifies the approaching destination by voice. At the same time, the data processing unit 15 sends a mode switching signal 19 for switching to the "arrival destination" mode and destination arrival data 20 to the display unit 14, and the display unit 14 switches to the "arrival destination" mode and arrives at the destination.

A registration deletion signal 25 for deleting a place (“meat section”) is sent to the sub memory 13. Therefore, the audio output unit 16
Stops the voice notification, and the sub memory 13 deletes the data of the “meat section”.

In the case where the user is not notified of the approach to the destination and the receiving unit 11 cannot receive the unique ID “89ac” without selecting the “arrival confirmation” button, the first embodiment is different from the first embodiment. Similarly, the destination is not deleted from the sub memory 13, and the voice notification is stopped.

These operations are the same in the other registered counters (“side dish counter” and “confectionery counter”).

Also, when the receiving section 11 receives the warning information 43, a voice notification is made according to the presence or absence of the destination data in the all destination registration data 22 as in the previous embodiment. Further, when the portable terminal 71 simultaneously receives the unique IDs of a plurality of registered destinations, the display unit 14 displays the data processing unit 15 as in the previous embodiment.
Displays all destination arrival data 20 sent from. As described above, in this embodiment, the destination data can be rewritten and the destination data is updated, so that the user can obtain the latest information at each destination. Even when there are a plurality of supermarkets, the destination data can be updated in a timely manner, so that the latest information can be obtained for each supermarket and shopping can be performed. Further, the store side can provide the additional information to each sales floor, and can urge the user to go around more sales floors.
