  Exemplary embodiments of an information management method and an information management apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a child is guided to go through a predetermined school route when attending school.

  First, the concept of information management processing according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the concept of information management processing according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, in this information management process, gates 10 a to 10 e that read information for identifying a child from IC tags worn by the child are installed at various locations on the child's school route.

  Here, the IC tag is embedded in a child's clothes or the like that the child carries when going to school. In addition, here, an IC tag is taken as an example of storing information related to a child and transferring information to and from the gate 10a. However, if it has a similar function, an IC such as a mobile phone may be used. An information terminal other than the tag may be used.

  Then, the information read by the gates 10a to 10e and the information of the time when the information is read are transmitted to the information management apparatus 20 connected to each of the gates 10a to 10e via the network. The information management device 20 may be installed in a school where children attend school or may be installed in a management center other than the school.

  The information management device 20 stores a standard time required for each child to pass between the gates 10a to 10e. Based on the information transmitted by each gate 10a to 10e, each child Processing is performed to determine whether or not the gates 10b to 10e have been passed within that time.

  If the child does not pass through the gates 10b to 10e within a certain time, the abnormality notification unit 25b of the information management device 20 determines that an abnormal situation has occurred in the child, and calls, faxes, e-mails, etc. Automatically notify parents and school officials using the communication means.

  Further, the point management unit 25c of the information management device 20 gives points to the child when the child passes through the gates 10a to 10e within the standard required time. If this point exceeds a predetermined value, the student will be given a certificate, school supplies, book coupon, stationery ticket, etc. so that the child will be motivated to attend school safely along the school route.

  Here, the “incentive” in the scope of claims refers to an award, privilege, preferential treatment, etc. given to a child such as an award certificate, school supplies, a book coupon, or a stationery ticket.

  Furthermore, the point management unit 25c performs a process of reducing points when the child does not pass through a predetermined important gate. As an important gate, a gate 10d of a pedestrian bridge installed on a road with a lot of traffic is designated.

  The fact that it did not pass through this important gate 10d means that the road with high risk was crossed at another point. Therefore, by reducing the points, the child is prevented from going through a point where the important gate 10d is located.

  In this way, in this information management process, when each child passes through each gate 10a to 10e installed on the school route within the standard required time, points for acquiring incentives are given and important gates are given. Since it was decided to reduce the number of points that did not pass 10d, it was possible to motivate the child to follow a predetermined route.

  Next, a functional configuration of the information management system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the information management system according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in this information management system, the gates 10a to 10e and the information management device 20 are connected via a dedicated network 60, and the terminal devices 40a to 40c and the information management device 20 are connected to the public line network 70. The telephone / facsimile devices 50 a to 50 c and the information management device 20 are connected via a public line network 70.

  The gates 10a are installed at various places on the school route of the child, and exchange data with the information management device 20. Specifically, the gate 10a transmits identification information for identifying the child to the information management device 20, and information on the time when the information is read is used as information on the passage time when the child passes the gate 10a. Send to. Moreover, the process which receives the information of the child's point from the information management apparatus 20 is performed.

  The gate 10 a has an IC tag reader / writer 11 a that reads data from the IC tag 30 and writes data to the IC tag 30. Although not shown, the gates 10b to 10e also have the same IC tag reader / writer.

  The IC tag reader / writer 11 a reads identification information for identifying a child from the IC tag 30, and also passes the information on the passage time of the gate 10 a and the information on the point of the child received from the information management device 20 to the IC tag 30. A process of writing as personal data 30a is performed.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of personal data 30 a stored in the IC tag 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the personal data 30a includes information on grade, class, attendance number, name, home phone number, notification email address, FAX number, blood type, cumulative points, allergy, chronic disease, ID, and gate passage time. Is remembered.

  Of these, the accumulated points memorize the points that the child has earned so far. The ID is identification information for identifying a child. The gate passage time is information on the passage time of the gates 10a to 10e written by the IC tag reader / writer 11a when the child passes through the gates 10a to 10e.

  Here, the accumulated point information and the gate passage time information are also stored in the information management apparatus 20, but are also backed up in the IC tag 30. When the IC tag 30 does not store the accumulated point information and the gate passage time information, the data writing function of the IC tag reader / writer 11a becomes unnecessary, and the cost of the information management system can be suppressed.

  Here, various data such as a home phone number and blood type are stored in the IC tag 30, but only identification information that can identify a child may be stored. Here, examples of the identification information include a grade, class, attendance number data set, ID, and the like.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the terminal devices 40 a to 40 c access the information management device 20, acquire information related to the school attendance status of the child, and display the information on a terminal device such as a mobile phone or a personal computer. is there.

  Specifically, the time when the child passed through each of the gates 10a to 10e is acquired from the information management device 20 and displayed on a display or the like. In addition, when the information management device 20 determines that an abnormal situation has occurred in the child, the notification of the e-mail transmitted by the information management device 20 is received.

  The telephones / faxes 50a to 50c are telephones or facsimile apparatuses that receive notification of occurrence of an abnormal situation when the information management apparatus 20 determines that an abnormal situation has occurred in the child.

  The information management device 20 determines whether each child has passed through each gate 10a to 10e within a predetermined time along a predetermined school route, and if the child passes through each gate 10a to 10e, It is a device that performs processing to give points.

  The information management apparatus 20 includes an interface unit 21, an input unit 22, a display unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a control unit 25.

  The interface unit 21 is a network interface that exchanges information with the gates 10a to 10e, the terminal devices 40a to 40c, or the telephones / faxes 50a to 50c. The input unit 22 is an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, and the display unit 23 is a display device such as a display.

  The storage unit 24 is a storage device such as a hard disk device, and stores child data 24a, standard required time data 24b, and passage time data 24c.

  The child data 24a is data storing personal information of each child whose movement status is monitored. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the child data 24a stored in the information management apparatus 20. As shown in FIG. 4, the child data 24a stores information on ID, grade, class, attendance number, name, home phone number, notification mail address, FAX number, notification method priority, and accumulated points.

  Among these, ID is identification information for identifying each child. In addition, the notification method priority defines the priority order of means for performing notification when it is determined that an abnormal situation has occurred in a child.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the standard required time data 24b is data storing a standard required time when the child moves from one gate 10a to 10e to the next gate 10a to 10e. The standard required time data 24b is set by a guardian or a school official, and is updated as needed.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the standard required time data 24b stored in the information management apparatus 20. As shown in FIG. 5, the standard required time data 24b stores information on ID, season, weather, and standard required time (allowable error) between gates. The ID is identification information for identifying each child. The season and the weather are the season and weather conditions that are the preconditions for the required time to be set.

  The standard time required between gates (allowable error) is the standard time required for each child to move from one gate 10a to 10e to the next gate 10a to 10e under certain seasons and weather conditions This is the information that sets the error.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the standard time required for a child having an ID “ACD1212” to move from the home gate 10a to the park gate 10b during “winter” “weather weather” is “5 minutes”. The error of the standard required time that is set and allowed is set to “± 2 minutes”.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the passage time data 24 c is data in which the time at which each child should pass through the gates 10 a to 10 e and the time at which each child passes through the gates 10 a to 10 e are stored.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the passage time data 24c stored in the information management apparatus 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the passage time data 24c stores information on the allowable shortened passage time, the allowable delay passage time, the limit delay time, and the passage time in each of the gates 10a to 10e.

  Here, for example, the time notation “200404140750” means 7:50 on April 14, 2004. The passage time data 24c is created for each child, and information on each child is stored as passage time data 24c.

  The allowable shortened passage time is information on the earliest passage time allowed for the child when the child passes through each of the gates 10a to 10e. The allowable delay passage time is information on the latest passage time allowed for the child when the child passes through the gates 10a to 10e.

  The marginal delay time is information on the passage time that is referred to when determining whether or not the child has encountered an abnormal situation. If the child has not passed through the gates 10a to 10e before this marginal delay time, A process of notifying the parent or school official of the abnormality is executed.

  The limit delay time is, for example, a time obtained by adding a time difference between the allowable delay passage time and the allowable shortening passage time to the allowable delay passage time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the limit delay time may be set to an arbitrary time. The passage time stores information on the child's passage time transmitted by the gates 10a to 10e.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the control unit 25 is a control unit that controls the entire information management apparatus 20, and includes an information acquisition unit 25a, an abnormality notification unit 25b, a point management unit 25c, and an information output unit 25d.

  The information acquisition unit 25a acquires, from each gate 10a to 10e, information on the ID of the child read by each gate 10a to 10e from the IC tag 30 and information on the passage time when the child has passed through each gate 10a to 10e. A process of storing passage time information as passage time data 24c in association with a child having an ID is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the information on the passage time when the child passes through each of the gates 10a to 10e is acquired from each of the gates 10a to 10e. However, each of the gates 10a to 10e transmits only the information on the ID of the child. The time when the information acquisition unit 25a receives the information may be set as the passage time of the child and stored in the passage time data 24c.

  If the child does not pass through the gates 10a to 10e before the limit delay time set in the passage time data 24c, the abnormality notification unit 25b sends an e-mail or a synthesized voice to the terminal devices 40a to 40c and the telephones / faxes 50a to 50c. Or the process which notifies abnormality by FAX is performed.

  For example, when notifying the terminal devices 40a to 40c by e-mail, or when notifying the telephones / faxes 50a to 50c by FAX, the abnormality notification unit 25b transmits a notification having the following contents. “This is an abnormality notification system. Ken Kamimura, No. 12, No. 13, No. 1 has not passed the school gate on April 14, 2004, even after 14 minutes from the standard time.”

  Alternatively, the abnormality notifying unit 25b establishes a call state with the telephones / FAXs 50a to 50c, and notifies the above contents with synthesized speech. Furthermore, for the terminal devices 40a to 40c, the abnormality notification unit 25b may output a screen displaying the above contents together with information on the passage times of the children's gates 10a to 10e.

  The point management unit 25c determines whether or not the child has passed through the gates 10a to 10e between the allowable short passage time and the allowable delay passage time stored in the passage time data 24c after the child has passed through the final gate 10e. Judgment is performed, and when the child passes through the gates 10a to 10e during those times, a process of giving points to the child is performed.

  In addition, the point management unit 25c performs a process of reducing points when the child does not pass through a predetermined important gate 10d (gate on the footbridge).

  Further, when the above-described child point calculation processing is completed, the point management unit 25c transmits point information to the final gate 10e and requests the IC tag 30 to write the information.

  When the information output unit 25d receives an inquiry about the passing status of each of the gates 10a to 10e of the child from the terminal devices 40a to 40c, the information output unit 25d performs processing to output the passing status information to the terminal devices 40a to 40c.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a child information display screen 80 output by the information management apparatus 20. The child information display screen 80 is displayed when a guardian of a child or a school official inputs a password and matches a password registered in advance.

  As shown in FIG. 7, on this child information display screen 80, an ID number input field 81 for inputting a child ID, a school year-class input field 82 for inputting a child's grade-class, and an attendance number for the child are input. An attendance number input field 83, a password input field 84, an end button 85, an input confirmation button 86, and a gate passage situation 87 are displayed.

  Here, the child who examines the passing situation of the gates 10a to 10e inputs the ID of the child in the ID number input column 81, or the grade, class and class of the child in the grade-class input column 82 and the attendance number input column 84. The attendance number can be entered, and a password can be entered in 83 and the input confirmation button 86 can be designated by clicking with the mouse or the like.

  In the gate passage situation 87, the time when the designated child has passed through the gates 10a to 10e on the last few days is displayed. When the end button 85 is clicked, the child information display screen 80 is erased.

  Next, the processing procedure of the IC tag information reading / writing processing performed by the final gate 10e will be described, and then the processing procedure of the processing performed by the gates 10a to 10d will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of IC tag information reading / writing processing performed by the final gate 10e.

  As shown in FIG. 8, first, the IC tag reader / writer 11a of the final gate 10e reads the child ID information from the IC tag 30 when the child passes the gate 10e (step S101).

  Then, the IC tag reader / writer 11a obtains the current time information from the clock (not shown in FIG. 2) and uses it as the passage time information of the gate 10e (step S102), and the ID information and the passage time information Is transmitted to the information management apparatus 20 (step S103). Then, the IC tag reader / writer 11a writes passage time information to the IC tag 30 (step S104). Note that the order of step S103 and step S104 may be reversed.

  Thereafter, the IC tag reader / writer 11a receives the point information calculated by the information management apparatus 20 (step S105), writes the received point information to the IC tag 30 (step S106), and reads the IC tag information. / End the writing process.

  Here, the processing procedure of the IC tag information reading / writing processing of the gates 10a to 10d other than the final gate 10e is the processing without the processing of Step S105 and Step S106 in FIG. 8, and after Step S104, the gates 10a to 10d. The IC tag information reading / writing process ends.

  Next, a processing procedure of information management processing performed by the information management apparatus 20 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of information management processing performed by the information management apparatus 20.

  As shown in FIG. 9, first, the information acquisition unit 25a of the information management apparatus 20 receives the child ID information and the departure time information from the departure gate 10a (step S201). And the information acquisition part 25a memorize | stores the information of departure time in the passage time data 24c (step S202).

  After that, the point management unit 25c reads the standard required time data of the child who received the ID information from the standard required time data 24b (step S203), and based on the departure time information, the standard of each gate 10b to 10e. The passage time is calculated (step S204).

  Here, when reading the data of the standard required time of the child, the data of the standard required time corresponding to the preset data of the season and weather of the day is retrieved from the standard required time data 24b and read.

  Then, the point management unit 25c calculates the allowable short passage time and the allowable delay passage time of each of the gates 10b to 10e using the information on the allowable error stored in the standard required time data 24b (Step S205).

  Furthermore, the point management unit 25c calculates the limit passage time of each gate 10b to 10e by adding the time difference between the allowable shortening passage time and the allowable delay passage time to the allowable delay passage time (step S206), and the allowable shortening passage time. The information on the allowable delay passage time and the limit passage time is stored in the passage time data 24c (step S207).

  Thereafter, the information acquisition unit 25a checks whether or not the child ID and the passage time information of the gate 10b have been received from the next gate 10b (step S208). If the information has not been received (step S208, No) It is checked whether or not the limit passage time for the gate 10b has elapsed (step S209).

  If the limit passage time has elapsed (step S209, Yes), the abnormality notification unit 25 executes abnormality notification processing for notifying that an abnormality has occurred (step S210), and ends this information management processing. . This abnormality notification process will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  If the limit passage time has not elapsed (No at Step S209), the information acquisition unit 25a proceeds to Step S208 to receive the child ID and the passage time information of the gate 10b from the gate 10b. I wait.

  In step S208, when information on the child ID and the passage time of the gate 10b is received from the next gate 10b (step S208, Yes), the information acquisition unit 25a converts the received passage time information into the passage time data 24c. It is stored (step S211), and it is checked whether or not the gate 10b that received the information is the final gate 10e (step S212).

  In this case, since the gate 10b that has received the information is not the final gate 10e (No in step S212), the process proceeds to step S208, and the information acquisition unit 25a waits for further reception of information from the next gate 10c. .

  Thereafter, the same processing is repeated, and in step S212, when the information acquisition unit 25a detects that information has been received from the final gate 10e (step S212, Yes), the point management unit 25c calculates the child's points. Point calculation processing is executed (step S213), and this information management processing is terminated. This point calculation process will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  Next, the procedure of the point calculation process shown in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the point calculation processing shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the point management unit 25c of the information management device 20 acquires information on the cumulative points of the child from the child data 24a (step S301). Then, the point management unit 25c obtains information on the passage time, the allowable shortened passage time, and the allowable delay passage time when the child passes through the first gate 10b, which is the next gate of the departure gate 10a, from the passage time data 24c. Obtain (step S302).

  Subsequently, the point management unit 25c checks whether or not the passage time of the child is within the range of the allowable short passage time and the allowable delay passage time (step S303), and if it is within the range (step S303, Yes) ), 1 is added to the cumulative points of the child and stored in the child data 24a (step S304), and the information of the next gate 10c passage time, allowable short passage time and allowable delay passage time is obtained from the passage time data 24c. (Step S305).

  In step S303, when the passage time of the child is not within the range of the allowable short passage time and the allowable delay passage time (step S303, No), the point management unit 25c proceeds to step S305 as it is.

  After the process of step S305, the point management unit 25c checks whether or not the passage time when the child has passed through the gate 10c is within the range of the allowable short passage time and the allowable delay passage time (step S306). If there is any (step S306, Yes), 1 is added to the cumulative points of the child and stored in the child data 24a (step S307).

  Thereafter, the point management unit 25c checks whether or not the gate 10c is the final gate 10e (step S308). In this case, since the gate 10c is not the final gate 10e (step S308, No), the process proceeds to step S305. Further, information about the passage time, the allowable shortened passage time, and the allowable delay passage time of the next gate 10d is acquired from the passage time data 24c.

  In step S306, when the passage time when the child has passed through the gate 10c is not within the range of the allowable short passage time and the allowable delay passage time (No in step S306), the process proceeds to step S308 as it is.

  Thereafter, the same processing is repeated, and in step S308, when the point management unit 25c detects that the information of the final gate 10e is acquired (step S308, Yes), the point management unit 25c passes the final gate 10e. It is checked whether the time is before the school start time (step S309).

  When the passing time of the final gate 10e is before the school start time (step S309, Yes), the point management unit 25c adds 2 to the accumulated points and stores it in the child data 24a (step S310). It is checked whether or not the passage time data for the pedestrian bridge gate 10d, which is a predetermined important gate, is stored in the passage time data 24c (step S311).

  In step S309, when the passage time of the final gate 10e is not before the school start time (step S309, No), the process proceeds to step S311 as it is.

  In step S311, when the passage time data for the important gate 10d is not stored in the passage time data 24c (step S311, No), the point management unit 25c is dangerous because the child departs from a safe school route. It is determined that the place has been passed, and 10 is subtracted from the accumulated points and stored in the child data 24a (step S312).

  Thereafter, information on the accumulated points of the child is transmitted to the final gate 10e, and the final gate 10e is requested to store the information in the IC tag 30 of the child (step S313), and this point calculation process is terminated.

  In step S311, when the passage time data for the important gate 10d is stored in the passage time data 24c (step S311, No), the process proceeds to step S313, and the information of the accumulated points is transmitted to the final gate 10e. Perform processing.

  Here, points are given every time a child passes through each gate 10b to 10e within a predetermined time. However, when the child passes all the gates 10b to 10e within a predetermined time, the points are collectively given. Then, points may be given.

  Here, points are given when the passing time when the child passes through the gates 10b to 10e is within the range of the allowable shortened passing time and the allowable delayed passing time, but the passing time is the allowable shortened passing time. And when it is outside the range of the allowable delay passage time, the point management unit 25c may reduce the accumulated points.

  Here, the pedestrian bridge gate 10d is fixed to the important gate, but the important gate may be changed each time. Specifically, flag information indicating whether or not the gate is an important gate is further stored in the item of the gate included in the passage time data 24c shown in FIG. Information on this flag is updated as appropriate.

  Then, in the point calculation process shown in FIG. 10, the point management unit 25c checks whether or not the flags are set for the gates 10b to 10d, and step S311 is performed for the gates 10b to 10d for which the flags are set. And you may make it perform the process shown by step S312.
