  The reading unit 84 may determine the distance to the article RFID tag attached to the forgotten item (that is, the distance to the article) based on the intensity of the radio wave sent back from the article RFID tag 30 or 40. In this case, the control unit 82 notifies the direction and distance where the forgotten thing exists via the notification unit 82. For example, in the case of a configuration in which the direction of the forgotten item is notified by lighting the light, the brighter the light is lit as the distance to the forgotten item is shorter. Further, in the case of a configuration in which the presence direction of a forgotten thing is notified by outputting a sound, a louder sound may be output as the distance to the forgotten thing is shorter. Further, when a display device is used as the notification unit 82, the direction of the forgotten thing and the distance of the distance may be displayed on the display device.

  The data communication unit 74 included in the user terminal 70 and the data communication unit 85 included in the RFID searching device 80 are connected to, for example, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and transmit / receive data via USB.

  1 and 2 show only one RFID reader 60, a plurality of RFID readers 60 may exist. For example, the RFID reader 60 may be installed at the entrance of the user 200's home, the entrance / exit of the user 200's company, the entrance / exit of a building outside the user 200, and the like. Each RFID reader 60 operates in the same manner.

Next, the operation will be described.
It is assumed that the user terminal 70 has previously input the forgotten item management list information via the input unit 71 and stores the forgotten item management list information in the storage unit 75. That is, it is assumed that the user number of the user 200, the article number of the article possessed by the user 200, and the name of the article are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 75. Note that the forgotten item management list information may be registered as part of the schedule information managed by the scheduler. In this example, it is assumed that the correspondence between the article number and name of the article 10 that is a necessary item when going out and the user number is stored in the storage unit 75 by the control unit 72 regardless of the operation according to the scheduler. Further, it is assumed that the correspondence between the article number and name of the article 20 scheduled to be used in the future and the user number is stored in the storage unit 75 as part of the schedule information by the control unit 72 that operates according to the scheduler. The forgotten item management list information may be information indicating at least the correspondence between the user number and the article number, but here, it is information indicating the correspondence between the user number, the article number, and the name of the article. Will be described as an example.

  Also, the forgotten item management list information stored in advance in the storage unit 75 may include not only information related to one user but also information related to a plurality of users. That is, the storage unit 75 not only stores the article number and the name of the article owned by the user 200 in association with the user number of the user 200, but also associates the user number of the other user with that user number. You may memorize | store the article number and name of an article of possession. When a certain article is shared by a plurality of users, the article number of the article is stored in the storage unit 75 in association with the user numbers of the plurality of users.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the article movement management system according to the first embodiment. Here, it is assumed that the RFID reader 60 is installed at the entrance of the user 200. Further, it is assumed that the user 200 has the article 10 but is about to leave the article 20 that is scheduled to be used in the future.

  When the user 200 tries to go out of the entrance, the user RFID tag 50 and the article RFID tag 30 (attached to the article 10) pass through the gate of the RFID reader 60 (step S1). At this time, the reading unit 61 of the RFID reader 60 reads the user number from the user RFID tag 50. The reading unit 61 reads the article number and the user number from the article RFID tag 30 (step S2).

  Subsequently, the control unit 64 of the RFID reader 60 transmits the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 and the article number and user number read from the article RFID tag 30 to the user terminal 70 via the communication network 100. (Step S3).

  The control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 receives the information transmitted in step S3 (step S4). That is, the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 and the article number and user number read from the article RFID tag 30 are received. Subsequently, the control unit 72 compares the information received in step S4 with the forgotten thing management list information stored in the storage unit 75 to determine whether there is a left over item (step S5). In this example, the forgotten thing management list information includes the article number and name of the article 10 and the article number and name of the article 20 as information corresponding to the user number of the user 200. The information received from the RFID reader 60 includes the user number of the user 200 and the article number of the article 10, but does not include the article number of the article 20. Therefore, the control unit 72 detects the article number of the article 20 that is included in the forgotten item management list information but is not included in the received information, and determines that the article 20 is present as the forgotten item. In addition, although the outline | summary of the process of step S5 was demonstrated here, the detail of the process of step S5 is later mentioned using FIG.

  If it is determined in step S5 that there are no forgotten items, the article movement management system ends the process, and the user 200 passes the RFID reader 60 and goes out without receiving any notification.

  When it is determined in step S5 that there is a forgotten item, the control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 transmits information on the article 20 determined to be a forgotten item to the RFID reader 60 via the communication network 100 (step S6). In step S <b> 6, the control unit 72 may transmit, for example, the article number of the article 20 and the name of the article to the RFID 60 as the information of the article 20. Further, only the article number or only the name of the article may be transmitted as information on the article 20.

  When the control unit 64 of the RFID reader 60 receives the information of the article 20 determined to be a forgotten item from the user terminal 70, the control unit 64 notifies the user of the forgotten item information (step S7). In step S <b> 7, the control unit 64 outputs a warning sound from the speaker 66 to notify the user 200 that there is something left behind. In addition, the control unit 64 displays information received from the user terminal 70, that is, information on the article 20 determined to be a forgotten item on the display unit 62, and notifies the user 200 which item the forgotten item is. For example, the control unit 64 causes the display unit 62 to display the article number and name of the article 20.

  In step S5, the control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 may determine whether or not the user 200 possesses another user's goods. In this case, if it is determined that the user 200 has another user's item, the control unit 72 transmits the item number and name of the item to the RFID reader 60 in step S6. Upon receiving this information, the control unit 64 of the RFID reader 60 causes the speaker 66 to output a warning sound, and displays the received article number or name on the display unit 62, thereby trying to bring out another person's article. The user 200 is notified.

  After step S7, the user 200 uses the RFID search device 80 to search for an article 20 that is forgotten (step S8).

  In step S8, the data communication unit 85 of the RFID search device 80 and the data communication unit 74 of the user terminal 70 are connected by USB, for example. When the operation unit 81 of the RFID search device 80 is operated, the control unit 83 of the RFID search device 80 supplies the user terminal 70 with the article number of the article determined to be forgotten via the data communication unit 85. Request. In response to this request, the control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 transmits the article number of the article 20 determined to be forgotten in step S5 to the RFID search device 80 via the data communication unit 74. Thereafter, the connection state between the RFID search device 80 and the user terminal 70 may be released.

  Subsequently, the RFID searching device 80 is carried by the user, and the reading unit 84 is directed in various directions. The reading unit 84 transmits radio waves, and if there is an article RFID tag in the directed direction, receives the radio waves sent back from the article RFID tag. And the reading part 84 reads an article | item number from the article | item RFID tag which exists in the direction directed by receiving this electromagnetic wave. If the read article number matches the article number of the forgotten item received from the user terminal 70, the control unit 83 notifies that there is a forgotten item in the direction in which the reading unit 84 is directed. (Step S9).

  The reading unit 84 may determine the distance to the article RFID tag (that is, the distance to the article) based on the intensity of the radio wave received from the article RFID tag existing in the directed direction. When the read article number matches the article number of the forgotten thing received from the user terminal 70, the control unit 83 determines that there is a forgotten thing in the direction in which the reading unit 84 is directed, and until the forgotten thing. The distance may be notified.

  The reading unit 84 determines the distance to the article RFID tag, and notifies the information of the distance, thereby more accurately notifying the user of the position of the forgotten item so that the forgotten item can be found in a short time. .

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the user terminal 70 in the first embodiment. The control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 receives the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 and the article number and user number read from the article RFID tag 30 from the RFID reader 60 (step S21). The process of step S21 corresponds to the process of step S4 shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the control unit 72 determines a user who is a determination target of the presence or absence of a forgotten item based on the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 (step S22).

  Subsequently, the control unit 72 determines whether or not there is a forgotten item by comparing the information of the user to be determined whether or not there is a forgotten item with the item number read from the item RFID tag 30 in the forgotten item management list information. (Steps S23 and S24). In steps S23 and S24, the control unit 72 extracts the article number and the article name corresponding to the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 from the forgotten thing management list information. Then, if there is an article number that does not correspond to the article number read from the article RFID tag 30 among the extracted article numbers, it is determined that there is a forgotten item, and it is determined that the article number is the article number of the article that is the forgotten item. To do. Further, the name of the article corresponding to the article number of the article that is a forgotten item is specified with reference to the forgotten item management list information.

  In steps S23 and S24, the control unit 72 may also determine whether or not the user 200 possesses another user's article. If there is a user number read from the user RFID tag 50 that matches the user number read from the user RFID tag 50, the control unit 72 determines that the item to which the article RFID tag is attached is the other. It is determined that it is not for the user. When the article is an article used only for the user 200, the user number read from the article RFID tag attached to the article matches the user number read from the user RFID tag 50, and the article Is determined not to belong to another user. When the article is an article shared by a plurality of users including the user 200, the article is read from the user RFID tag 50 among the plurality of user numbers read from the article RFID tag attached to the article. There is a thing that matches the user number, and it is determined that the article is not for a user other than the sharer. In addition, if the user number read from one article RFID tag does not match the user number read from the user RFID tag 50, the control unit 72 will attach the article RFID tag. Is that of another user, and it is determined that the user 200 possesses the goods of the other user. The control unit 72 performs the above determination for each piece of information read from each item RFID tag. When there is no user number read from the user RFID tag 50 among the user numbers read from one article RFID tag, the control unit 72 reads the article number read from the article RFID tag. (I.e., the article number of the article of another user). Moreover, the control part 72 specifies the name of the article | item corresponding to the article number of an article | item of another user with reference to forgotten thing management list information.

  The processes of steps S22, S23, and S24 correspond to the process of step S5 shown in FIG.

  After steps S23 and S24, the control unit 72 refers to the determination results in step S23 and step S24 (step S25). If there is no thing left behind (No in step S25), the process is terminated. If there is a forgotten item (Yes in step S25), the control unit 72 transmits information on the article that is a forgotten item (the article number or name of the article that is forgotten) to the RFID reader 60 (step S26). The processing in steps S25 and S26 corresponds to the processing in step S6 shown in FIG. The subsequent operation is the same as the operation after step S7 shown in FIG.

  In Steps S23 and S24, when it is determined whether or not the user 200 possesses another user's article, the determination result is also referred to in Step S25. When it is determined that the user 200 possesses another user's item, the control unit 72 transmits information on the other user's item (the item number or name of the other user's item) to the RFID reader 60 in step S26. Send to. Upon receiving this information, the control unit 64 of the RFID reader 60 outputs a warning sound from the speaker 66, and displays information on the articles of other users (article numbers and names of articles of other users) on the display unit 62. . As a result, the user 200 can be notified that another user's goods are being taken out, and the user 200 can be managed so that other people's goods cannot be taken out. In this case, when it is determined that there are no forgotten items and the user 200 does not possess another user's goods, the determination is No in step S25, and the process ends without proceeding to step S26. .

  According to the first embodiment, the user can go out without forgetting the article 10 that is a necessity when going out and the article 20 that is scheduled to be used in the future. In addition, when each RFID reader 60 is installed at a plurality of locations so that confirmation of misplacement of an article can be performed at a plurality of locations, the RFID reader 60 is connected to the user terminal 70 connected via the communication network 100. The presence / absence determination is performed and the result is displayed. Accordingly, there is no need to place a personal computer at each of the plurality of locations. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost when confirming misplaced baggage at a plurality of locations. Further, the user only needs to store the lost item management list information in the user terminal 70, and it is not necessary to store the lost item management list information in a plurality of devices, so that the burden on the user is not increased.

  In addition, when the control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 determines whether or not the user 200 possesses another user's goods, and determines that the user 200 possesses another user's goods, When the control unit of the RFID reader 64 notifies that fact, it can be managed so that each person can take out his / her goods, but not others' goods.

  In addition, the reading unit 84 of the RFID search apparatus 80 determines the distance to the forgotten thing based on the intensity of the received radio wave, and notifies the information of the distance, so that the user can know the position of the forgotten thing in detail, and the forgotten thing. Can be searched in a short time.

  The user terminal 70 is preferably a portable information processing device such as a PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) terminal or a mobile phone. In that case, when the RFID reader 60 is installed in a plurality of locations, it becomes easy to update the lost item management list as appropriate for each location, and convenience can be improved.

However, the RFID search apparatus 80 includes an input device such as a keyboard and the like. The configuration may be such that the article number is input from the user.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
The article movement management system according to the second embodiment detects a state where an article that should not be taken out is about to be taken out, and notifies the information to that effect. Hereinafter, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. However, the article movement management system in the second embodiment does not include the RFID search device 80 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Therefore, the user terminal 70 may not include the data communication unit 74 (see FIG. 2).

  The article movement management system according to the second embodiment includes an RFID reader 60 and a user terminal 70. The RFID reader 60 and the user terminal 70 are connected via a communication network 100 such as the Internet.

  The user RFID tag 50 attached to the user 200 is the same as the user RFID tag 50 in the first embodiment. Further, article RFID tags 30 and 40 for storing article numbers uniquely assigned to individual articles are attached to the articles 10 and 20 that are prohibited from being taken out. In the second embodiment, the article RFID tags 30 and 40 may not store user numbers.

  The RFID reader 60 reads the user number from the user RFID tag 50 when the user 200 passes through the entrance of the building. Also, the article number is read from each article RFID 30,40. Then, the RFID reader 60 transmits the read information (user number and article number) to the user terminal 70, and causes the user terminal 70 to determine whether or not an article that is prohibited from being taken out. When it is determined that an article that is prohibited from being taken out is about to be taken out, a warning is sent to the user 200.

  The user terminal 70 is an information processing apparatus similar to that in the first embodiment. For each user number of each user, the user terminal 70 stores in advance information that associates the user number with the article number of an article that should not be taken out by each user (hereinafter referred to as take-out prohibition list information). . Then, the user number and the article number received from the RFID reader 60 are compared with the take-out prohibition list information, and it is determined whether or not the user is taking out an article that is prohibited from being taken out. When it is determined that the user is about to take out an article that is prohibited from being taken out, information to that effect is transmitted to the RFID reader 60. The RFID reader 60 notifies the user 200 of a warning by receiving this information.

  In the present embodiment, the RFID reader 60 includes a reading unit 61, a storage unit 63, a control unit 64, an interface unit 65, and a speaker 66. The display unit 62 shown in FIG. 2 may not be provided.

  The reading unit 61 reads the user number from the user RFID tag 50 as in the first embodiment. Further, the article number is read from the article RFID tags 30 and 40.

  The control unit 64 operates according to a program stored in the storage unit 63 and controls the RFID reader 60. In the present embodiment, according to the program, for example, the control unit 64 causes the reading unit 61 to read the user number or the article number, or transmits the user number or the article number to the user terminal 70 and is prohibited from being taken out. The user terminal 70 is prompted to determine whether or not a certain article is about to be taken out, or a warning sound is output from the speaker 66.

  The operations of the speaker 66 and the interface unit 65 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the user terminal 70 includes an input unit 71, a control unit 72, an interface unit 73, and a storage unit 75. The data communication unit 74 shown in FIG. 2 may not be provided.

  The input unit 71 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and takes-out prohibition list information is input.

  The control unit 72 operates according to a program stored in the storage unit 75 and controls the user terminal 70. In the present embodiment, according to the program, for example, the control unit 72 receives a user number or an article number from the RFID reader 60, or is prohibited from taking out using the user number, the article number, and the carry-out prohibition list information. It is determined whether or not an article is about to be taken out, and information indicating that such an article is about to be taken out is transmitted to the RFID reader 60. In addition, the control unit 72 causes the storage unit 75 to store the carry-out prohibition list information input to the input unit 71. The storage unit 75 stores program take-out prohibition list information.

  The operation of the interface unit 73 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  Also in this embodiment, there may be a plurality of RFID readers 60. Each RFID reader 60 operates in the same manner.

Next, the operation will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the article movement management system in the second embodiment. Here, it is assumed that the RFID reader 60 is installed at the entrance of the company of the user 200. In addition, the article 10 is an article that should not be taken out by the user 200. Further, it is assumed that the user terminal 70 is previously input with the carry-out prohibition list information via the input unit 71 and stores the carry-out prohibition list information in the storage unit 75. In this example, it is assumed that information that associates the user number of the user 200 with the article number of the article 10 is included in the carry-out prohibition list information. Hereinafter, a case where the user 200 is going outside with the article 10 will be described as an example.

  When the user 200 tries to go out of the company, the user RFID tag 50 and the article RFID tag 30 (attached to the article 10) pass through the gate of the RFID reader 60 (step S31). At this time, the reading unit 61 of the RFID reader 60 reads the user number from the user RFID tag 50. The reading unit 61 reads the article number from the article RFID tag 30 (step S32).

  Subsequently, the control unit 64 of the RFID reader 60 transmits the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 and the article number read from the article RFID tag 30 to the user terminal 70 via the communication network 100 (step S33). ).

  The control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 receives the information transmitted in step S33 (step S34). That is, the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 and the article number read from the article RFID tag 30 are received. Subsequently, the control unit 72 compares the information received in step S34 with the take-out prohibition list information stored in the storage unit 75, and determines whether or not an article that is prohibited from being taken out is being taken out. Determination is made (step S35). In this example, the user number of the user 200 and the article number of the article 10 are associated with each other in the carry-out prohibition list information. The information received from the RFID reader 60 is the user number of the user 200 and the article number of the article 10. Therefore, since the information received from the RFID reader 60 matches the information included in the take-out prohibition list information, it is determined that the user 200 is about to take out the article 10 that should not be taken out. Here, the outline of the process of step S35 has been described, but details of the process of step S35 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  If it is determined in step S35 that the user 200 is not trying to take out an article prohibited from being taken out, the article movement management system ends the process, and the user 200 receives the RFID reader 60 without receiving any notification. Pass and go out.

  If it is determined in step S35 that the user 200 is about to take out an article that is prohibited from being taken out, the control unit 72 provides information indicating that the article that is prohibited from being taken out is about to be taken out. (Step S36). When the control unit 64 of the RFID reader 60 receives information indicating that an item that is prohibited to be taken out is received, the control unit 64 outputs a warning sound from the speaker 66 to notify the user 200 of the warning.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the user terminal 70 in the second embodiment. The control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 receives the user number read from the user RFID tag 50 and the article number read from the article RFID tag 30 from the RFID reader 60 (step S41). The process of step S41 corresponds to the process of step S34 shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the control unit 72 determines whether or not the user 200 is about to take out an article that is prohibited from being taken out (step S42). In step S42, the control unit 72 determines whether or not the user number and the article number received from the RFID reader 60 are associated with each other in the take-out prohibition list information. That is, the control unit 72 performs determination as follows. If the received user number and the article number are not associated with each other in the take-out prohibition list information, the user specified by the received user number determines that the article specified by the received article number may be taken out. Further, if the received user number and the article number are associated in the take-out prohibition list information, the user specified by the received user number should not take out the article specified by the received article number. First, it is determined that the user is about to take out an article that is prohibited from being taken out. The process of step S42 corresponds to the process of step S35 shown in FIG.

  When it is determined that the user does not attempt to take out an article that is prohibited from being taken out (No in step S42), the process ends. If it is determined that the user is about to take out an article that is prohibited from being taken out (Yes in step S42), the control unit 72 provides information indicating that the article that is prohibited from being taken out is about to be taken out. It transmits to the RFID reader 60 (step S42). The process of step S42 corresponds to step S36 shown in FIG. After step S42, the RFID reader 60 performs the process of step 37 shown in FIG.

  In the above description, the case where the control unit 64 of the RFID 60 outputs a warning sound from the speaker 66 in step S37 has been shown. As in the first embodiment, the RFID reader 60 may include a display unit 62 and display information on articles prohibited from being taken out on the display unit 62. In this case, in step S36 shown in FIG. 5, the user terminal 72 transmits information on the article that is prohibited to be taken out and is intended to be taken out by the user to the RFID reader 60, and the control unit of the RFID reader 60 62 may display the information of the article on the display unit 62. What is necessary is just to display an article number, the name of an article, etc. as information on an article prohibited from being taken out, for example. When displaying the name of an article, the article number is associated with the name of the article in the take-out prohibition list information, and the control unit 72 specifies the name of the article from the article number of the article that is prohibited from being taken out. Thus, it is only necessary to enable transmission to the RFID reader 60.

  Further, in the above description, a case has been shown in which an article that is prohibited from being taken out is determined for each individual user, such as “User 200 must not take article 10”. Instead of determining the articles that are prohibited from being taken out for each user, the articles that are prohibited from being taken out may be determined regardless of who the user is. In this case, the storage unit 75 of the user terminal 70 may store an article number of an article that is prohibited from being taken out as take-out prohibition list information. Further, the reading unit 61 of the RFID reader 60 may read the article number from the article RFID tag and transmit the article number to the user terminal 70. Therefore, the user 200 does not have to wear the user RFID tag 50. Further, the control unit 72 of the user terminal 70 determines whether or not the article number received from the RFID reader 60 is included in the carry-out prohibition list information in step S35 shown in FIG. 5 (step S42 shown in FIG. 6). It may be determined whether or not an article that is prohibited from being taken out is being taken out. That is, if the received article number is included in the carry-out prohibition list information, it may be determined that an article that is prohibited from being taken out is about to be taken out. If the received article number is not included in the carry-out prohibition list information, it may be determined that an article that is prohibited from being taken out is not being taken out.

  According to the second embodiment, with a simple configuration including the RFID reader 60 and the user terminal 70, it is possible to detect a state where an article that should not be taken out is about to be taken out, and notify the information to that effect. .

  In the second embodiment, the article storage member is realized by the article RFID tags 30 and 40. The user storage member is realized by the user RFID tag 50. The reader device is realized by the RFID reader 60. The article identification information reading unit and the user identification information reading unit are realized by the reading unit 61. The identification information transmitting unit and the warning information receiving unit are realized by the control unit 64 and the interface unit 65. The warning means is realized by the control unit 64 and the speaker 66.
