The personal computer 4 performs necessary processing based on the transmitted information, and notifies the content to be notified to the owner or the like through the LCD 8 and the speaker 10 as necessary.
[0030]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the baggage misplacement prevention system 2.
[0031]
The reading unit 6 is a device that delivers radio waves to the IC tag 12, and when the IC tag 12 passes through the radio waves, the radio waves access the internal memory of the IC tag and read / write data. The IC tag can rewrite information by rewriting even information once written, and can additionally write information. A controller 7 is connected to the reading unit 6. The reading unit 6 exchanges protocols between the controller 7 and the IC tag. The controller 7 drives the reading unit 6.
[0032]
The personal computer 4 includes a CPU 14, a storage unit 16, an input unit 17, a ROM 18, a RAM 20, a communication interface 22, and a communication adapter 24.
[0033]
The storage unit 16 stores a baggage list of a certain owner. The baggage list is linked to the owner's information. That is, the baggage list stores information on which baggage the owner should have.
[0034]
The input unit 17 includes a keyboard and a mouse for inputting information.
[0035]
The ROM 18 stores a program for driving the baggage misplacement prevention system 2. The RAM 20 is a data work area. The communication interface 22 and the communication adapter 24 have a data input / output function for communicating with an external communication terminal via an Internet line.

The operation of the present embodiment will be described.
[0040]
In the baggage list stored in the storage unit 16, the owner is registered first. The owner registration is performed by inputting the owner name from the input unit 17. By inputting, identification information of the owner of the baggage list is generated. The storage unit 16 stores a baggage list in which identification information of the owner is registered.
[0041]
Each baggage to be taken when going out is attached with an IC tag storing the identification information of the baggage. Although the identification information of the owner is also stored in the IC tag, the identification information of the owner may not be stored in the IC tag of all baggage, but may be stored only in the baggage that is always taken when going out. Good. If it is assumed that the baggage continuously read by the reading unit 6 belongs to the same owner, the owner of the read baggage can be identified by having owner identification information in one of the read IC tags. is there.
[0042]
In the baggage list, the unique identification information of the baggage is registered by reading the IC tag of the baggage attached with the IC tag by the reading unit 6. That is, the baggage is listed on the baggage list. Therefore, when the owner wishes to list his / her baggage in the baggage list, the owner need only read the baggage attached with the IC tag by the reading unit 6. When the new baggage is listed, the fact that the new baggage has been registered is displayed on the LCD 8, which is a notification means, and the speaker 10 is also notified that the new baggage has been registered by voice.
[0043]
In addition, the identification information of the owner of the baggage list can be generated by reading the IC tag storing the identification information of the owner by the reading unit 6.
[0044]
Now, as shown in FIG. 1, suppose that the bag which accommodated the baggage of A-D passed the entrance / exit of the building. It is assumed that baggage from “A. Camera” to “E. Glasses” is registered in the baggage list. The IC tag 12 attached to the baggage of “A. Camera” to “D. Wallet” is read by the reading unit 6. Further, since the owner information is stored in the IC tag 12 of “D. Wallet”, when the reading unit 6 reads the IC tag 12 of “D. Wallet”, the owner information is also read.
[0045]
The owner's baggage list stored in the storage unit 16 is called from the read owner's information, and the baggage information on the baggage list and the read baggage information of A to D are read on the RAM 20 based on the control signal of the CPU 14. Is matched.
[0046]
As a result of the collation, it was found that the baggage of “E. glasses” registered in the baggage list was not read by the reading unit 6, so that the shortage is “E. glasses” as shown in FIG. A notice to that effect is made by display on the LCD 8. FIG. 3 is an example of a display on the LCD 8 that displays a shortage and a detection object. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, not only the missing items but also the detected items are displayed, but only the missing items may be displayed. Further, in this embodiment, it is displayed what baggage the identification information of the owner is recognized, and who the owner is.
[0047]
As a means for notifying the shortage, in this embodiment, notification is also performed by sound from the speaker 10. As a result, not only the LCD display but also the voice is notified, so that the owner is notified of the shortage more effectively, such as when rushing.
[0048]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow up to the shortage notification in the baggage misplacement prevention system according to the above-described embodiment.
[0049]
First, when a person passes through the reading unit 6 to go out from the entrance of the building, the system operation time starts.
[0050]
It is determined whether or not the operation end time has come (step 26). If the operation end time has come, it is notified that nothing has been read during the predetermined time (step 34).
[0051]
If the operation end time has not come, the baggage passes through the reading unit 6 and the IC tag attached to the baggage passes (step 28).
[0052]
It is determined whether there is a tag having identification information (= personal authentication) of the owner in the IC tag (step 30). If not, the process proceeds to step 34.
[0053]
If there is a tag having the identification information of the owner, the read baggage information is compared with the baggage information in the baggage list (step 32). As a result of the collation, if it matches, the process ends. If it does not match, the process proceeds to step 34 where notification is made. The case of inconsistency includes not only a case where there is a shortage but also a case where a baggage that does not exist in the baggage list is read. In the latter case, the newly read baggage is registered in the baggage list and the registration is notified.
[0054]
A modification of the present embodiment will be described.
[0055]
The baggage-forgetting prevention system 2 can communicate with an external communication terminal such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) via a communication interface 22 and a communication adapter 24, and can transmit and receive information.
[0056]
A personal schedule table is stored in the PDA. The personal schedule table includes data such as what month and day and where to go, and what the weather (weather, temperature, humidity, amount of pollen, etc.) is. Weather information of whereabouts can be obtained by the PDA user himself / herself via the Internet, or may be set so that it can be automatically obtained.
[0057]
When the PDA user transmits the personal schedule table to the baggage misplacement prevention system 2 via the Internet line, the baggage misplacement prevention system 2 receives the information of the personal schedule table and stores it in the storage unit 16. The storage unit 16 collectively manages the information of each individual's personal schedule table, and has a holder for information such as who is going out where and when.
[0058]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for displaying information on the individual schedule table of each individual stored in the storage unit 16 on the LCD 8. FIG. 4 shows a state where Mr. A's personal schedule table is displayed in detail when an operation for displaying Mr. A's personal schedule table in detail is performed.
[0059]
Mr. A is stored in the storage unit 16 in a state linked to the baggage list as a baggage owner. Therefore, information on which baggage should be held by Mr. A is already stored in the storage unit 16. In addition, Mr. Ko's baggage list is also linked to his personal schedule.
[0060]
In the personal schedule table of Mr. Kou, the date of going out, where to go, baggage to take, time to go out, weather when going out are recorded.
[0061]
For example, “D. Wallet” is registered in advance in Mr. A's baggage list. When the system for preventing misplaced baggage 2 receives Mr. Ko's personal schedule, he adds necessary baggage to the baggage list according to the whereabouts and whereabouts weather from the whereabouts and whereabouts weather information in the personal schedule. To do. For example, when the destination is a company and the weather is clear, “B. notebook” and “E. glasses” are added to the baggage list. Also, when the destination is travel and the weather is raining, “B. Notebook”, “E. Glasses”, “A. Camera”, “C. Casa” are added to the baggage list.
[0062]
When the baggage is added to the baggage list, a display indicating that the baggage has been added is displayed on the LCD 8 and a sound indicating that the baggage has been added is played on the speaker 10.
[0063]
Further, the baggage misplacement prevention system 2 is used when the reading unit 6 has not read the baggage listed in the baggage list even after the going-out time shown in the personal schedule table of Mr. A stored in the storage unit 16 has passed. Since it is considered that Mr. A has not yet departed at the time to depart, a message to urge departure is displayed on the LCD 8, and a sound prompting the departure also flows through the speaker 10.
[0064]
The external communication terminal can also register to add new baggage to the person's baggage list. For example, in the above example, Mr. Ko sends a command to add a new baggage, for example, a brush case, to the baggage list from the PDA to the baggage misplacement prevention system 2. When the baggage misplacement prevention system 2 receives the instruction, the baggage misplacement prevention system 2 registers to add the brushcase to Mr. A's baggage list.
[0065]
Since the storage unit 16 collectively manages the information of each individual's personal schedule table, in addition to Mr. Ko, the personal schedule table of Mr. Oto and Mr. Tsuji is also managed. Therefore, the personal schedule table of Mr. Oto and Mr. Tsuji is read by operation or as necessary, and necessary items are displayed on the LCD 8 or voiced to the speaker 10 according to the operation.
[0066]
For example, when the baggage misplacement prevention system 2 is installed at the entrance of a household, it is considered that Mr. Ko, Mr. Oto and Mr. Tsuji are usually the same family.
[0067]
In the above example, the weather information on the go recorded in the personal schedule table is weather information such as “sunny”, “rain”, but besides the weather, temperature, humidity, pollen amount, snow cover, wind speed, Various natural state information such as wind direction, wave height, high tide and low tide time, etc. can be considered. In addition to information on natural conditions, the person you meet (company boss or president, customers, friends, relatives, etc.), the type of ceremonial occasion (wedding, funeral, etc.), the type of sport you play (golf, fishing) Information such as baseball) can be included in the personal schedule table, and this information is recorded in the personal schedule table so that the baggage necessary for each case is automatically added to the baggage list. The application range is very wide.
[0068]
By using this baggage-forgetting prevention system, the user does not have to leave behind when going out. In particular, by registering important baggage in the baggage list, it is possible to prevent forgetting important baggage on the day that is hampered by the busyness of going out. For example, it is a system that is greatly appreciated by users because it is possible to forget a speech manuscript at an official presentation ceremony, or go to fishing and forget spectacles, and do not have to make a fatal forgotten thing.
[0069]
Also, by simply sending a personal schedule from an external communication terminal to the Baggage Misplacement Prevention System, the baggage required for that schedule can be registered in the baggage list. .
[0070]
It should be noted that the notification means of the baggage misplacement prevention system can be operated only during the departure time period, and can be disabled at other times.
[0071]
