Description

  The present invention relates to an exploration technique using radio frequency identification (RF-ID), and in particular, the RF-ID tag is attached to wiring equipment installed in the double floor or the vicinity thereof and the double floor The present invention relates to a technique for exploring position information of wiring devices and other information about wiring devices and making the information available.

  In recent years, RF-ID (radio frequency identification, radio frequency identification) tags or the like as a method for position detection and identification of various types of articles are used for article identification as an article identification technique that replaces conventional barcodes. Widely used in

  In particular, this RF-ID tag has an antenna and a semiconductor integrated chip, writes predetermined identification information as data in the semiconductor integrated chip, stores it (data retention: data carrier), and the stored identification information is The data stored in the radio wave transmission source is generated by receiving radio waves from the antenna, generating operating power, generating a reflected wave that is changed according to the stored data in the semiconductor chip. Can be read by non-contact wireless communication.

  This is a system that makes it possible to search for the location and information of an RF-ID. For example, in a typical example, it is known to construct an shoplifting prevention system by attaching an RF-ID tag to an article in a store.

  In other words, it is widely applied in many fields such as distribution goods, display goods, packing goods, household electrical appliances, buried piping (cable pipes, optical fiber pipes, etc.), other metal objects / articles, identification cards and cash cards.

  Examples of the exploration device and method relating to this type of article include, for example, an RF-ID search device and an article search method using RF-ID (Patent Document 2: JP-A-2002-271229), and a location confirmation system for location confirmation objects. (Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-216086), a merchandise sales management method and apparatus, and a portable terminal (Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-163722).

  Further, the exploration device and method relating to the buried pipe include, for example, a position information editing management method for underground objects and a recording medium recording the program therefor (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-35782), a pin type A labeling device (Patent Document 5: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-195022), a method for detecting an embedded position of an object, and an apparatus thereof (Patent Document 6: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-99946) exist and are well known.

  However, the above Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-35782 (Patent Document 1) is a technical field related to underground pipes, and a transmitter / receiver is a large-scale device. In addition, there is a problem that detection operation and workability are poor. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-195022 (Patent Document 5), it is necessary to embed an RF-ID tag in a pin-shaped head that can be driven to the ground, and the structure is complicated and lacks reliability. Moreover, there is a possibility that it may be detached or damaged only by hitting it on the ground surface.

  Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-99946 (Patent Document 6) is also a technology related to pipe exploration, and is an object identification device using a carriage in a satellite navigation system. RF-ID is also dedicated to piping, and the apparatus is large and heavy. It is large-scale, expensive, and the exploration operation is poor.

  In addition, although not RF-ID, there is known a system that searches for in-floor wiring connection information, equipment installation information, floor layout information, and the like by applying a wireless LAN, a computer network, etc., and notifies them by a screen display. A management system (Patent Document 7: Japanese Patent No. 2768875) exists and is well known.

  On the other hand, in the technical field of OA floors (double floors, free access floors), wiring equipment and wiring such as outlets are installed and installed. Such exploration is inconvenient, and it is common to use outlet markers (such as seals and pins) in terms of cost and convenience. And in this kind of industry or technical field, it has not been performed to detect wiring devices installed in a double floor using RF-ID.

  Therefore, for example, it is difficult to manage each specific construction category by type such as power, telephone, information, etc. When the construction area is relatively large, when a wide variety of outlets are installed in a double floor, a specific unit Even if the location of one outlet is known, not only does it not know the type, but it does not know on which line of many connected routes and routes it is, and what kind of outlet is on that line. It is not possible to know how many are installed, and eventually it is necessary to remove and confirm the finishing material, covers and panels on the double floor.

In particular, if wiring and outlets are moved and expanded due to layout changes, it will be difficult to find further routes and routes.

  6th characteristic 6th Example of a present Example is the summary which detects all outlet information by outlet detection operation, and displays the collective display and the display of the outlet information in which the position was detected in a different display form. Detecting a predetermined outlet position by detecting an RF-ID tag installed in the vicinity of the outlet, for example, outlet and outlet number, outlet type and outlet type of outlet information written in advance in the outlet whose position is detected The number, the zone, and the number of the zones are read out and collectively displayed in a display form with a predetermined arrangement, and only the outlet notation is displayed in a display form different from the display form.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 6 to 9, the process and procedure of the search method using the search device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart and FIGS. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 10 showing the first embodiment in the present embodiment, first, the RF-ID tag is installed at a predetermined position of the outlet main body in the double floor F or the double floor panel near the outlet (tag). Installation step). This tag is indicated by the symbol ← ■ in FIG. 1, for example, the outlet A-1 is indicated by tagA-1.

  Next, the transmitter / receiver of the antenna 1 is operated to search for a desired outlet so as to travel along the upper surface of the double floor F with the substantially mop-shaped searching device as shown in FIG. 3 (outlet searching step by the searching device). .

  Then, when a desired outlet is detected by the installed RF-ID in the outlet detection search, the detection unit section (PDA) 3 notifies the outlet installation position by sound generation (outlet position detection step). .

  Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the detected route is indicated by a broken line (telephone T / information J) or a solid line (electric power P), and the detected position of the outlet C-1 or outlet A-1 is indicated by a symbol. The exploration position of the power distribution board P, which will be described later, is denoted by Ps, and the exploration position of the telephone distribution board T / information distribution board J is denoted by Ts and Js, respectively.

  Then, almost at the same time when the outlet installation position is detected, the detected outlet information, for example, the display unit of the detection unit (PDA) 3 shown in FIG. As shown, the outlet type information A-1, the number of insertion ports P2 + T4 for each type, the route / line information for each type A line, the number of outlets 1/4, the total number of insertion ports P8, T10, J0 for each type, and the area classification X zone... Is displayed on the PDA 3 to notify the outlet information. Thereby, not only the installation position is surely known at the time of detection, but also the detection outlet (A-1) information is easily recognized (outlet information display step).

  In order to improve recognition more quickly than the symbol display shown in FIG. 4A, a specific outlet name, standard name, brand name, etc., like the display portion 7 of the PDA 3 shown in FIG. Or the type display may be specifically displayed as power, telephone, and information.

  In FIG. 11 showing the second embodiment, as described above, when the desired outlet is detected in the outlet search in the (outlet position detection step), the outlet is detected by sound as described above. Notify you. Then, for example, like the display unit of the PDA 3 shown in FIG. 6, the PDA 3 in the detection device 6 displays the A line of the detected line information of the outlet A-1 and on the A line. Other outlets A-2, A-3, and A-4 are displayed in a display form of an aligned arrangement, and further, the outlet A-1 display that is notified by the sound and detected is aligned so that it can be easily recognized on the display. Display different from the display form of the arrangement. In the figure, it is displayed by blinking display (outlet information display step).

  Thereby, in the illustrated example, the position of the power outlet A-1 on the power A line is detected, and the number of power outlets A-2, A-3, and A-4 and the types of outlets can be easily understood. . Of course, when the outlet is detected, the installation position can be notified by sound. In this example, other information such as the number of outlets, that is, the number of plug-ins, zones, etc., can be arbitrarily displayed.

  In FIG. 12 showing the third embodiment, this time, the RF-ID tag in which the outlet information is written is installed on the distribution board of the power P and telephone T / information J shown in FIGS. Alternatively, an example in which a series of outlet information is collectively displayed when the vicinity thereof is searched. First, a dedicated RF-ID tag in which, for example, all outlet information is written is installed on a line for each type corresponding to the power P and the telephone T / information J on the switchboard. That is, for example, the first RF-ID tag is installed for the switchboard, and the second RF-ID tag is installed for the outlet detection (tag installation step).

  Here, for example, a large number of first RF-ID tags may be provided for each type and for each wiring route / line, but if possible depending on the memory capacity, all outlet information is written on one switchboard 1 Two RF-ID tags may be installed.

  Next, when the exploration device 6 or the PDA 3 searches for the distribution board (distribution panel exploration step), for example, outlet information for each outlet type or each line can be detected in a lump. Notify (position detection step).

  Almost simultaneously with this detection, as shown in the display section 7 of the PDA 3 shown in FIG. 7, for example, all outlet information on the A, B, and C lines of the power P is A-1, A-2, A-3. , A-4, B-1, B-2, B-3, C-1, C-2, and C-3 can be systematically displayed in a systematic arrangement. X, Y, Z zone display is also performed (outlet information display step ⇒ first step).

  In this way, if the exploration device 6 is used for exploration in the vicinity of the switchboard, first, the power system lines, outlets, and the number thereof can be immediately recognized, and the presence or absence of exploration target outlets can be confirmed. It is possible to make a smooth transition to the system, eliminate the need to conduct an outlet exploration operation indiscriminately, and enable notification that enables exploration operability and exploration time to be shortened.

  8 and 9 showing the fourth embodiment, when it is necessary to detect the position of the desired outlet a shown in FIG. 12 (outlet detection necessity step), the outlet search is performed by the searching device a. (Outlet exploration step).

  Here, as described above, since the second RF-ID tag for outlet detection is installed in each outlet, when the desired outlet is detected as described above, its position is detected by sound. (Outlet position detection step).

  Here, almost simultaneously with this detection described above, the outlet information A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, B-1, B-2 on the power lines P, A, B, C in FIG. , B-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, only the outlet notation of the detected outlet information is displayed on the collective display of the aligned arrangement, for example, on the A line not shown. A-1 is blinked to notify that the position has been detected.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, as another example, for example, when telephone T / information J is displayed, all outlet information D-1, D-2 on the D line, E line, and F line is displayed. , D-3, E-1, E-2, E-3, F-1, F-2, and X, Y, Z zone displays are arranged and arranged in a systematic manner. When the position of the outlet D-3 shown in the figure is detected, only the outlet D-3 notation is displayed by blinking in a display form different from the collective display (outlet information display step ⇒ second step). .

  7 and 8 described above are examples in which the power P and the telephone T / information J are separately detected and collectively displayed, but in FIG. 9, the above-described switchboard is first searched. In this case, all outlet information of power P and telephone T / information J is collectively displayed. Thereafter, outlet position detection is performed twice in succession, and power outlet A-1 and telephone outlet C-1 An example is shown in the case where detection is performed and a blinking display form different from the collective display form is displayed.

  As described above, according to FIG. 12 of the flowchart, the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment are specifically described using the display examples of FIGS. All the outlet information is collectively displayed, and based on this display information, a specific outlet detection operation is performed, and when that specific outlet is detected, the outlet position information is It has been described that the display is different from the display.

  Here, as another modified example, the fifth embodiment is changed so that the first exploration of the switchboard in the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment is the exploration of the outlet first. This corresponds to a modified example in which the outlet information for each outlet type or line is displayed at the same time as the position detection of the desired outlet, and the sixth embodiment is also the first outlet search. Thus, this corresponds to a modification in which all outlet information is displayed at the same time as the position detection of the desired outlet.

  As a result, only one outlet exploration operation is performed to notify the outlet information for each type or line or all outlets at the same time as the desired outlet position, and the display form in this case is shown in FIGS. The same display form shown in FIG. 9 is possible, and these flowcharts are basically described above, for example, if the RF-ID tag is not set on the switchboard in the (tag setting step). This is common with FIG.

  In this case, as a matter of course, there is no need to provide the RF-ID tag on the switchboard, and the necessary number of RF-ID tags may be installed as needed in the outlet, its vicinity, wiring, etc. installed in the double floor.
