Description

  The present invention is able to confirm the presence or absence of an article when the user goes out by registering in advance a mandatory article for carrying and automatically detecting whether there is a registered article in a container such as a bag. The present invention relates to a left-behind item prevention system that can be prepared without forgetting an umbrella on rainy days or days with strong ultraviolet rays.

  In the past, when we went out, we had to visually check whether there were any items left behind, and depending on whether we carried them or not, there was a problem that we left things forgotten. In addition, if you forget to check the weather forecast, you may forget your umbrella on a rainy day.

As a prior art example, there is one that monitors an object object such as an umbrella and issues an alarm when leaving a certain distance (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, there is one that gives an action instruction to a user according to a weather forecast (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Some mobile phones have an IC tag detection device to detect an article with an IC tag (for example, see Patent Document 4).
