In recent years, cable pipes,
Since the optical fiber pipes are also buried in the ground, the buried condition inside the ground is complicated and it is difficult to maintain and manage each pipe. If a large number of pipes are buried near the construction site, data and drawings must be collected to know the burial status in the vicinity, and if the locations of the drawings and data are incorrect, site work must be performed. It would be interrupted, and in the worst case, it could lead to an accident. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for efficiency and systemization for maintenance work of these pipes, and in particular, there has been a great demand for a method of identifying what the buried object is in the field. The present invention has been made in order to solve these problems, and it is possible to grasp the underground burying situation on the spot by using the RFID tag and edit the information in the RFID tag on the spot, and a method therefor. A computer-readable recording medium in which a program is recorded is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a method for managing the positional information of an underground buried object, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a tag information display screen, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the security function of the RFID tag.

As shown in FIG. 1, the buried position detecting device 1
Is an RFID tag 3 attached to and embedded in the pipe 2,
A truck 4 that can move on the ground, a transceiver 5 mounted on the truck 4, an information processing device 6, and a GPS (Global Positioning)
System) device 7. The pipe 2 to which the RFID tag 3 is attached may be a water pipe, a sewer pipe, a gas pipe, a cable pipe, an optical fiber pipe, etc.
It can also be applied to those requiring confirmation of the buried position for repairs, inspections, etc. It can also be attached to various equipment such as valves and fire hydrants, structures, and facilities.

The RFID tag 3 is attached to and embedded in the pipe 2, and can record necessary information when the pipe 2 is newly installed, repaired, or replaced. Later, when information is needed, the transmitter / receiver 5 searches for RF information.
The information read from the ID tag 3 can be displayed on the information processing device 6. Although the dolly 4 is simply shown in FIG. 1, it may be any one that can mount the transceiver 5, the information processing device 6, and the GPS device 7 and can be moved.

The transceiver 5 is composed of an antenna 8 and a main body 9 and transmits a signal radio wave to the RFID tag 3 buried in the ground by the antenna 8 to communicate information. The main body 9 is connected to the antenna 8 and the information processing device 6, and the RFI
The information transmitted from the D tag 3 or the information transmitted to the RFID tag 3 is converted so that the RFID tag 3 and the information processing device 6 can communicate with each other.

The information processing device 6 displays and edits the information of the RFID tag 3 and may be an information processing terminal such as a notebook computer or a workstation. Also, G
The PS device 7 reads the signal from the satellite, measures the longitude and latitude of the position of the carriage 4, and uses this information as position information for R
It is recorded in the FID tag 3 and the information processing device 6.

In the buried position detecting device 1 having the above structure,
In the present invention, in displaying and editing the information of the RFID tag 3 on the information processing device 6, the system screen 11 input / output means, common item 12 input / output means, and selection item 13 input / output means are displayed through the edit screen 10. , Public item 14 input / output means, system item 11 business operator ID and RFID
If the business ID of the tag 3 is the same, a program that allows the information of the system item 11, the common item 12, and the selection item 13 to be read or written is installed from the recording medium. This recording medium is a medium such as a magnetic tape, a cassette tape, a floppy disk, a hard disk, a CD-ROM, an MO or a DVD that carries a program in a fixed manner.

Information display using the above program,
The editing method is shown below. The truck 4 is moved while transmitting a signal radio wave from the transceiver 5. When the RFID tag 3 is detected, the information processing device 6 mounted on the carriage 4 is read by the R
It is displayed that the FID tag 3 is detected. When the dolly 4 is stopped on the spot and the operation of reading the detected information of the REID tag 3 is performed, the edit screen 10 is displayed as shown in FIG.
The information of the system item 11, the common item 12, the selection item 13, and the public item 14 is displayed in.

The outline of each item is as follows. System item 11 includes serial number, business ID,
It consists of registration date and renewal date. The serial number is an individual number assigned to each RFID tag 3 and has the same R number.
The FID tag 3 does not exist. The business operator ID is a number assigned to each business operator who performs the burial work, and is determined when the RFID tag 3 is delivered. The registration date is on the RFID tag 3,
The date when data is registered for the first time is automatically set. As the update date, the date when the data is updated is automatically set. The system item 11 is an item that can be displayed on the reading and editing screen 10 by the information processing device 6 but cannot be written.

The common items 12 are equipment number, altitude, depth,
It consists of latitude and longitude. The equipment number is a number that can be decided by the person who manages it, and a management number or the like can be input. As the altitude and the depth, it is possible to input the altitude and the depth at which the RFID tag 3 exists. As the latitude and longitude, the latitude and longitude of the RFID tag 3 can be input, and the position information obtained from the GPS device 7 at this time can be input, and a more accurate position can be determined.

Various information can be input to the selection item 13, for example, the pipe type, diameter, installation year, and remarks of the buried water pipe. In the public item 14, comments and sentences can be freely input.

The RFID tag 3 has a security function, and as shown in FIG. 3, the information that can be transmitted / received by the embedded position detecting device 1 is limited, and the information of the serial item 11, common item 12, and selection item 13 is serial. It is displayed on the edit screen 10 only when the company ID of the item 11 and the company ID of the information processing device 6 match. Therefore, the information on the serial item 11, the common item 12, and the selection item 13 can be read only by the embedded operator. Further, although the serial item 11 cannot be written, only the embedded operator can write the common item 12 and the selection item 13. Therefore, the information can be safely managed without being changed by others.

Further, since the open item 14 can be read by the buried position detecting device 1 of another office, this item must be
If another business office writes in the message to be notified when the work is carried out in the place where the pipe 2 is buried, the pipe 2 will not be accidentally damaged or an accident will not occur.

The information of the RFID tag 3 can be edited not only from the buried position detecting device 1 but also from a computer or the like in the office, and each item can be edited before the pipe 2 is newly installed. By writing the necessary information in the field, the work time at the site can be shortened.

By thus burying the RFID tag 3 along with the pipe 2 and the like, when the information is needed at the site, the necessary information can be read using the buried position detecting device, It is possible to know immediately and accurately on the spot. In addition, since the information can be written on site, it is possible to prevent forgetting to record the information and facilitate information management. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve consistency between the information on site and the management information in the office, and it is possible to centrally manage the management information for underground buried objects.
