2. Description of the Related Art Freight handled in the warehousing industry includes not only constant weight cargo whose weight is always constant but also variable weight cargo (variable cargo) whose weight is not always constant. For example, a cargo whose content is beef ribs is an undefined weight cargo (hereinafter, abbreviated as "cargo" as appropriate), even if the cargos are packed in the same way, because the weights vary among the cargos. . Especially, in the case of non-constant weight cargo, the weight management of the cargo is carried out by checking and recording the weight of the cargo at the time of entering the cargo from the shipper into the warehouse and at the time of leaving the cargo from the warehouse. In the weight management of unfixed weight cargo, we also provide a service to report the weight of incoming or outgoing cargo to the shipper.

In the conventional weight management of cargo, while the cargo is loaded or unloaded, the worker reads the weight data as management data written on the label attached to each cargo by the manufacturer on site. The office booklets are posted and the posted weight data is transferred to the quantity sheet (report) form at the office to complete the quantity sheet and sent to the shipper.

A plurality of portable terminal computers 2 for reading the bar code BC worn,
In the warehouse, the host computer 1 and the terminal computer 2 are connected by a wireless communication line 3 capable of mutual communication. A so-called personal computer is used as the host computer 1, and a PHS wireless handy terminal with a bar code reading function is used as the terminal computer 2.

In the case of the wireless communication line 3, as shown in FIG. 1, PHS wireless base stations 3A, 3A connected to the host computer 1 are attached to a pillar or wall in the warehouse, and the host computer 1 The signal transmitted from the terminal computer 2 to the terminal computer 2 is converted into a radio wave by the radio base station 3A and sent to the terminal computer 2, and conversely, the signal transmitted by the radio wave from the terminal computer 2 is received by the radio base station 3A. It is configured to be sent to the host computer 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the host computer 1 includes a computer main body 1A, a display monitor 1B for displaying a menu screen for input, an input operation means 1C composed of a mouse and a keyboard, and a management unit. A printer 1D for printing data processing results and the like are separately provided.

The computer main body 1A specifies the code type identification information for identifying the type of the bar code for each of the plurality of types of bar codes including the weight data of the cargo W and the location of the management data in the bar code. Information for identifying the data position for registering the information in association with the type of barcode, and the barcode reading means for reading based on the code type identification information registered in the information registering means 4. Code type identification means 5 for identifying the type of the bar code, management data processing means 6 for processing weight data for weight management of the cargo W, and transmission / reception for controlling transmission / reception with the outside. In addition to including the receiving means 7, the computer main body 1A has an information reading hand for reading various information registered in the information registration means 4 in a timely manner. And (not shown) is also provided. Also,
The information registration means 4 is provided with a database memory 4A for previously storing and registering necessary information such as code type identifying information and data position specifying information.

As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal computer 2 includes a computer main body 2A, a liquid crystal display monitor 2B for displaying a menu screen for input, and operation input means 2C composed of key switches and the like. , And a laser scanner type barcode reading means 2D are integrally provided.

The computer body 2A obtains the weight data of the cargo W from the bar code read based on the data position specifying information corresponding to the bar code type identified by the code type identifying means 5 on the host computer 1 side. The data extracting means 8 for extracting, the data storing means 9 for storing the weight data extracted from the bar code, and the transmitting / receiving means 10 for controlling the transmission / reception with the outside are provided.

Next, the bar code BC attached to the cargo W will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the barcode BC is a code that represents numeric string data by a combination of white and black parallel straight lines of several kinds of width, and the barcode reading means 2D scans and reads the barcode BC. Convert to digit string data. In the case of the barcode BC of FIG. 4, “01900 ... 02003070 ... 29

In the case of the barcode BC of FIG. 4, 6 digits of “003070” in the numeric string data is the weight 30 of the cargo W. Since it is weight data indicating .7 pounds (LSB), the data extracting means 8 extracts the weight data "003070" from the number string data and stores it in the data storing means 9.

However, the barcode is JANcode, E
ANcode, ITFcode, code39, cod
There are differences in barcode types such as e128 and the like due to differences in barcode methods among different barcode users (manufacturers of freight W, shippers, etc.) within the same barcode system. If the type is different, the correspondence relationship between the numeric string data of the barcode and various data accompanying the cargo W is different, and as a result, the position of the weight data on the barcode is also changed if the type of barcode is different, Further, since the numeric string data itself has no clue as to the existence position of the weight data, it is not possible to extract the weight data only by reading the barcode with the barcode reading means 2D to obtain the numeric string data.

Therefore, in the processing system of the embodiment, the code type identification information for identifying the type of the bar code and the weight data in the bar code for each of all kinds of bar codes known to be handled by the system in advance. Both the information and the data position specifying information for specifying the existing position are registered in advance in the form of being associated with the bar code type, and the bar code type read from the cargo W is stored as the code type identifying information. Identify using
The weight data is accurately extracted from the read barcode by using the data position specifying information corresponding to the identified barcode type. Hereinafter, registration of necessary information about the barcode and extraction of the weight data of the cargo W will be described more specifically.

First, the registration of the code type identification information will be described. In the case of the processing system of the embodiment, three pieces of information, namely, bar code system information, bar code digit number information, and bar code identification information, are stored in the database memory 4A as specific code type identification information. It is stored and registered.

When the necessary information about the bar code is registered in advance, first, the host computer 1 or the terminal computer 2 reads and takes in the bar code to be registered, and the host computer 1
The registration menu screen P1 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display monitor 1B of 1 or the display monitor 2B of the terminal computer 2.

The information registration means 4 detects the existence position of the numerical value peculiar to each bar code system from the digit string data of the bar code to be registered in the form of the digit range from the digit to the digit. Detects the total number of digits in the code and stores it in the database memory 4A as a bar code (numerical string data)
The digit range of the barcode system is stored as barcode system information, and the total number of barcode digits is registered as barcode digit number information.

Further, the operator can register the existence position of the key figure unique to the bar code user, which is obtained from the visual observation of the bar code or the preliminary investigation, in the form of a digit range from the digit position to the digit position. By inputting from the screen P1, the existing position unique to the barcode user is registered in the database memory 4A as barcode identification information (along with the previously registered barcode). In particular,
The first digit (the digit) and the last digit (the digit) of the digit range in which the unique key figure exists in the blank fields P1A and P1B of the registration menu screen P1 are respectively input.

Next, registration of data position specifying information will be described. The operator can register the position of the weight data on the bar code, which can be known from visual observation of the bar code attached to the cargo W or preliminary investigation, in the digit range from the digit position to the digit position. The data position specifying information is input from the screen P1 to the database memory 4A.
Register with. Specifically, the first digit (what digit) and the last digit (what digit) of the digit range having the weight data are input in the blank columns P1C, P1D of the registration menu screen P1.

Further, registration of the weight unit information will be described. That is, in the case of the cargo W, the weight data may have digits after the decimal point, or the weight unit may be LSB (pound) instead of Kg. Therefore, the digit with decimal point and the weight unit are registered as weight unit information. The screen is entered on the menu screen P1 and registered in the database memory 4A. Specifically, a digit with a decimal point (digit) is entered in the blank P1E of the registration menu screen P1, and the corresponding weight unit of Kg and LSB is selected and designated.

With the above, the registration work of the necessary information for one bar code has been completed.
The necessary information for each other barcode of a different type is registered in order in the same manner as above.

In the processing system of the embodiment, the bar code is read and necessary information about the bar code is registered on the side of the host computer 1 and the terminal computer 2.
However, the bar code may be read only by the terminal computer 2 side, and necessary information about the bar code may be registered by the host computer 1 side and the terminal side. The configuration may be performed by only one of the computers 2 side.

Next, a concrete structure for extracting the weight data from the bar code read from the cargo W based on the necessary information of the bar code registered as described above is used. A description will be given with reference to the drawings corresponding to the case where the processing of the weight data at the time of loading is executed. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a process when processing the weight data of the cargo W to be stored in the warehouse in the processing system of the embodiment. The necessary information about the bar code has already been registered, and the number of cargoes W is 10.

[Step S1] When the operator turns on the power of the terminal computer 2, the display monitor 2B displays the information shown in FIG.
The person-in-charge menu screen P2 shown in is displayed, and the operator inputs his or her person-in-charge code.

[Step S2] When the person-in-charge code is entered, the screen of the display monitor 2B automatically changes to the initial menu screen P3 shown in FIG. Input is designated on the initial menu screen P3. In the case of shipping work,
When the input of the shipping amount is specified and the necessary information about the bar code is registered, the bar code registration is specified.

[Step S3] The screen of the display monitor 2B is automatically changed to the warehousing menu screen P4 shown in FIG. 9 when the screen input of the warehousing amount input is designated. Therefore, the operator receives the warehousing slip delivered from the office. While watching, the pallet number in the warehousing menu screen P4, the pallet number of the warehousing package, and if necessary, the average weight of the warehousing package (can be omitted if unknown), weight unit, etc. are input on the screen.

[Step S4] When the bar code reading means 2D of the terminal computer 2 reads the bar code of the first cargo W, the read bar code (numerical string data) is stored in the management data extracting means 8. The data is held and transmitted from the sending / receiving means 10 to the host computer 1 via the communication line 3.

[Step S5] In the host computer 1, the identification target bar code (numerical string data) received by the sending / receiving means 7 is input to the code type identifying means 5, and the code type identifying means 5 causes The barcode type to be identified is identified based on the code type identification information registered in advance.

Specifically, for example, first, according to the number-of-digits information of the barcode, one having the same total number of digits of the barcode to be identified is extracted from the registered barcodes, and then, From the extracted registered barcodes, find the barcode whose digit range specified by the barcode system information and barcode user information and the numerical value within that range match that of the barcode to be identified. If so, it means that the type of barcode to be identified has been identified.

[Step S6] When the bar code type is identified, the data position specifying information and the weight unit information of the identified bar code are read from the database memory 4A and sent from the sending / receiving means 7. It is transmitted to the terminal computer 2 via the communication line 3 and held by the terminal computer 2.

[Step S7] In the terminal computer 2, the data position specifying information of the bar code received by the sending / receiving means 7 is input to the management data extracting means 8 and also by the management data extracting means 8. Numerical values within the digit range defined by the data position specifying information are extracted as weight data from the numerical data of the bar code of the first cargo W and stored in the data storage means 9. This is the first
The extraction of the weight data of the second cargo W is completed. The weight unit information is used when the weight data extracted on the terminal computer 2 side is displayed and the weight of the cargo W is displayed on the display monitor 2B.

[Step S8] When the bar code reading means 2D of the terminal computer 2 reads the bar code of the next second cargo W, the read bar code is sent to the management data extracting means 8.

[Step S9] Management data extracting means 8
Thus, the weight data in the numeric string data of the barcode of the second cargo W is extracted and stored in the data storage means 9.

[Step S10] If there is an unprocessed cargo W, the process returns to step 8, and if there is no unprocessed cargo W, the process proceeds to step 11.

[Step S11] When the operator uses the input operation means 2C to give an instruction to send the weight data accumulated in the data storage means 9 to the host computer 1,
The total weight data of all cargoes W is sent by the terminal computer 2.
It is sent from the receiving means 10 to the sending / receiving means 7 of the host computer 1 via the communication line 3.

[Step S12] Host computer 1
Then, the total weight data received by the sending / receiving means 7 is stored in a data storage memory (not shown) as necessary, and is sent to the management data processing means 6 so that the weight data is sent by the management data processing means 6. Data processing is performed, and if necessary, the processing result is as shown in FIG.
When the printer 1D prints and outputs the cargo receipt index Q of the cargo sent to the shipper or the like, the processing of the weight data of the cargo W is completed. The weight unit information is also used when processing the weight data.

The data input on the person-in-charge menu screen P2 or the initial menu screen P3 is sent to the host computer 1 alone at the time of input, or collectively at the time of sending weight data. The storage amount index may not be printed on paper and may be transmitted in the form of an electronic amount index via a communication line.

Further, in the case of the processing system of the embodiment, the host computer 1 is changed to the display monitor 1 by the host computer program 1b recorded in the recording medium 1a.

Since the weight data of the cargo W is accurately and automatically extracted from the read bar code according to the necessary information, the weight data of the cargo W can be collected quickly and accurately.

Further, in the case of the processing system of the embodiment, the portable terminal computer 2 with the barcode reading means 2D is connected to the host computer 1 via the wireless communication line 3 capable of mutual communication. By arranging the terminal computer 2 at the warehouse site, the processing system can be operated with the cargo W left on the site, and the installation position of the terminal computer 2 can be changed only by moving the portable terminal computer 2. Since it moves automatically, the arrangement of the terminal computer 2 can be easily changed.
