Description

  The present invention relates to an accommodation management device, an accommodation management method, and an accommodation management system for a photosensitive recording medium cartridge. More specifically, the present invention relates to a photosensitive recording medium cartridge containing a hologram recording medium as a photosensitive recording medium. Further, the present invention relates to a technique for managing each photosensitive recording medium cartridge stored therein by identification information to improve handling of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge on a distribution or library.

A hologram recording medium for recording data by hologram has been invented (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
The above-mentioned hologram recording medium is a photosensitive recording medium in which a hologram recording layer made of a photosensitive material is layered on a disc-shaped support, and has been widely used by recording data in a multilayer manner as interference fringes of laser light. Thus, a larger data recording capacity can be obtained than DVD, which is a recording medium.

  By the way, the hologram recording medium has an adverse effect on the data recording performance, for example, when the hologram recording layer is exposed to light during storage or dust adheres to the hologram recording layer. The handling in the form accommodated in the cartridge which has a function becomes indispensable. Of course, in order to avoid inadvertent exposure and the like even when set in a data read / write device that reads / writes data to / from the hologram recording layer, it is indispensable that the device can be loaded in the form of being accommodated in a cartridge. Become.

  Therefore, as such a cartridge, a cartridge main body that rotatably accommodates the hologram recording medium so as to be sandwiched between the upper shell and the lower shell, and a part of the hologram recording medium provided in the cartridge main body is exposed to the outside. Various types of configurations including an opening to be opened and a shutter for opening and closing the opening have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 2004-029476 A JP 2003-317422 A

By the way, the hologram recording medium is significantly superior to a recording medium that has been widely used in terms of data recording capacity and the like.
Product management in the distribution field at that time, data location management when data is stored in a large number of hologram recording media to form a library, search and extraction of desired recording media from a large number of libraries, etc. In order to facilitate this, it is indispensable to prepare a management system that reads and organizes the assigned information at the same time that the cartridge is provided with identification information necessary for management.

  However, in the conventional cartridge, there is no description describing considerations for such product management and data location management. Therefore, the application of bar code management technology, which is currently popular in the distribution field, was examined, but the following problems were pointed out.

  The first problem is that the position on the cartridge to which the bar code can be applied is limited, and the degree of freedom in designing the package such as the packaging container is reduced. In other words, the mounting of the barcode requires a considerably large area, but the cartridge for storing the hologram recording medium is a thin rectangular box having a thickness of several millimeters, and other than the front or back side of the box, a par The space to give the code cannot be secured. Therefore, the position where the parcode is applied is limited to the front surface or the back surface of the cartridge, which causes a problem that the degree of freedom in designing a package such as a packaging container is lowered.

  Second, there is a problem that workability at the time of reading the identification information is poor. In other words, as described above, when barcodes are applied to the front or back surface of the cartridge box, when a large number of cartridges are aligned and accommodated so that the front and back surfaces of each other overlap, the applied barcodes are hidden by adjacent cartridges, In the accommodated state, the barcode cannot be read. Therefore, for example, when it is necessary to read the identification information of each cartridge in a state where a large number of cartridges are housed in a library, a product display shelf, etc. with the front and back sides of each other being stacked, the cartridges are taken out one by one. Therefore, it has to be applied to a bar code reader, resulting in a problem of poor workability when reading identification information.

  As a solution to this second problem, it is conceivable that the cartridges are arranged and accommodated in a plane so as not to overlap each other with the surface of the cartridge attached with a barcode facing the front side. However, there is a problem that the storage density of the cartridge is low and it becomes difficult to store a large amount of cartridges. Further, the storage itself for storing the cartridge needs to have a large size, which causes a problem that installation becomes difficult.

  Third, the provision of identification information using a barcode is a problem that the reliability of information maintenance is poor when reading of information is frequently repeated. In other words, barcodes are attached by, for example, sticking a sticker printed with a barcode on the front or back surface of the cartridge or a predetermined position on the cartridge packaging container. The identification information assigned to each cartridge may be read out by a library, etc. In applications that are frequently repeated, there is a problem that the reliability of information maintenance is poor.

  Fourth, when reading the barcode, as described above, it is necessary to take out the cartridge one by one, and the number of times of contact with the cartridge increases. There is a concern that such a problem may occur, or the risk that the shutter mounted on the cartridge moves to adversely affect the light shielding performance and dustproof performance of the cartridge increases.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the degree of freedom in packaging design such as a packaging container is not reduced due to the provision of identification information, and workability at the time of reading identification information is also improved. Even in applications where reading of the identification information is frequently repeated, the identification information is not lost in the middle, ensuring high reliability in maintaining the identification information, and further, the cartridge is damaged due to the reading of the identification information. In addition, the storage management device, the storage management method, and the storage management system for the photosensitive recording medium cartridge can be easily managed on the distribution or the library without deterioration of the light shielding performance and dustproof performance of the cartridge. Is to provide.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge storage for aligning and storing photosensitive recording medium cartridges stored in a cartridge main body in which a disk-shaped photosensitive recording medium is a thin rectangular box, and the photosensitive in the cartridge storage. RFID communication means that is movably provided along the alignment direction of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge and communicates with an RFID tag installed at a predetermined position of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge, the communication operation of the RFID communication means, A control device for collecting the identification information given to the RFID tag of each photosensitive recording medium cartridge stored in the cartridge storage by controlling the movement operation of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge in the alignment direction; And a display device for displaying the identification information collected by the control device. It is achieved by accommodating the management device of the cartridge.

  Further, the above object of the present invention is to accommodate a photosensitive recording medium cartridge housed in a cartridge body in which a disk-shaped photosensitive recording medium is a thin rectangular box in a cartridge housing, and to store the cartridge in the cartridge housing. An RFID tag that is movably provided along the alignment direction of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge and that is mounted at a predetermined position of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge communicates with the RFID communication means, and the communication operation of the RFID communication means. The control device collects the identification information given to the RFID tag of each photosensitive recording medium cartridge stored in the cartridge storage by controlling the movement operation of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge in the alignment direction. And the identification information collected by the control device is displayed on a display device. It is achieved by accommodating management method di.

  Further, the object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge storage for aligning and storing photosensitive recording medium cartridges stored in a cartridge body in which a disk-shaped photosensitive recording medium is a thin rectangular box, RFID communication means that is movably provided along the alignment direction of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge and communicates with an RFID tag installed at a predetermined position of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge, and communication operation of the RFID communication means For collecting the identification information given to the RFID tag of each photosensitive recording medium cartridge stored in the cartridge storage by controlling the movement of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge in the alignment direction And a display device for displaying identification information collected by the control device. It is achieved by the cartridge accommodating management system for medium.

  According to the above configuration, the identification information of each photosensitive recording medium cartridge used for distribution or management on the library is stored in an RFID tag capable of reading and writing data by wireless communication. Since the RFID tag can be made much more compact than an existing barcode, it is not necessary to secure a large occupied space for mounting, and the cartridge is a thin rectangular box with a thickness of several millimeters. This cartridge body can be easily accommodated within the thickness dimension. Therefore, the equipment position of the RFID tag storing the identification information can be selected relatively freely without being limited to the front or back surface of the cartridge, and the degree of freedom of the packaging design such as the packaging container is reduced due to the provision of the identification information. There is no.

Also, identification information can be read from the RFID tag without contact with the cartridge by wireless communication. For example, if the data communication surface of the RFID tag faces the side end surface on the front side of the cartridge storage, Even when the cartridges are aligned and accommodated with the front and back surfaces thereof being overlapped with each other, the identification information can be read simply by directing the RFID communication means from the front surface side of the cartridge storage case toward the side end surface of the cartridge within the allowable communication distance. Therefore, even when a large number of cartridges are aligned and accommodated so that the front and back surfaces of the cartridges overlap each other, the identification information can be easily read without removing the cartridges one by one from the alignment position. Workability is improved.
In the cartridge storage, a large number of cartridges can be arranged and accommodated so that the front and back surfaces of the cartridges overlap with each other, so that the cartridges can be accommodated with high density. The cabinet can be downsized. Further, the moving distance of the RFID communication means when sequentially reading the identification information of each cartridge is reduced, the identification information reading operation is speeded up, the entire system can be made compact, and the installation of the system is easy. become.

  Also, since the RFID tag storing the identification information is small, it can be accommodated in the cartridge body and not exposed on the surface, which is different from the case of a bar code sticker attached to the surface of the cartridge. The identification information is not lost in the middle due to peeling of the seal due to rubbing or the like during handling, and high reliability can be secured for maintaining the identification information even in applications where the reading of the identification information is frequently repeated.

  In addition, since the identification information stored in the RFID tag can be read in a non-contact manner through communication by wireless communication, the number of times of contact with the cartridge does not increase for reading the identification information. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the cartridge from being damaged due to an impact caused by inadvertent contact, or the shutter mounted on the cartridge from moving to adversely affect the light shielding performance and dustproof performance of the cartridge. That is, the cartridge is not damaged for reading out the identification information, and the light shielding performance and dust-proof performance of the cartridge are not deteriorated. The identification information given to the cartridge can be used for easy distribution or management on the library. Can be.

  In the case of an RFID tag, if the angle of incidence of radio waves on the data communication surface is within an allowable range, data communication can be normally performed even if it is not directly in front of the data communication surface. Therefore, in the configuration in which the data communication surface of the RFID tag is inclined with respect to the side end surface of the cartridge facing the front side of the cartridge storage as in the above configuration, not only from the front direction of the cartridge storage but also in the cartridge storage Identification information can also be read from a direction intersecting the front direction of the cabinet, and the movement accuracy and assembly accuracy of the equipment position of the RFID communication means can be relaxed, and the RFID communication means can be easily deployed.

  In the photosensitive recording medium cartridge storage management system according to the present invention, identification information is given to each photosensitive recording medium cartridge, information can be read and written by wireless communication, and a compact RFID tag is used. Therefore, the degree of freedom in packaging design such as packaging containers does not decrease due to the provision of identification information, the workability at the time of reading identification information is good, and the reading of identification information is frequently repeated However, the identification information will not be lost in the middle, ensuring high reliability in maintaining the identification information, and further, the cartridge will be damaged due to the reading of the identification information, or the light shielding performance and dustproof performance of the cartridge will deteriorate. In addition, it is easy to manage on the distribution or library.

Preferred embodiments of a photosensitive recording medium cartridge storage management system according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an embodiment of an accommodation management apparatus for photosensitive recording medium cartridges according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an outline of the photosensitive recording medium cartridge accommodated in the cartridge storage of FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the arrangement and accommodation form of the photosensitive recording medium cartridges in the cartridge storage according to the present invention.

  The photosensitive recording medium cartridge storage management device 1 of this embodiment includes a box-shaped or shelf-shaped cartridge storage 5 for aligning and storing photosensitive recording medium cartridges (hereinafter simply referred to as cartridges) 3, and a cartridge. RFID communication means 9 which communicates with an RFID tag 7 which is provided so as to be movable along the alignment direction (arrow X direction in FIG. 1) of the cartridge 3 in the storage 5 and which is installed at a predetermined position of the cartridge 3, and RFID communication The identification information given to the RFID tag 7 of each cartridge 3 accommodated in the cartridge storage 5 is controlled by controlling the communication operation of the means 9 and the movement operation of the RFID communication means 9 in the alignment direction of the cartridge 3. The control apparatus 11 to collect and the display apparatus 13 which displays the identification information etc. which the control apparatus 11 collected are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cartridge 3 has a disc shape (disc shape) as a photosensitive recording medium in a disc accommodating portion 17 provided inside a resin cartridge main body 15 formed in a thin rectangular box. The hologram recording medium cartridge (hereinafter referred to as a recording disk) 19 is rotatably accommodated. The recording disk 19 is always handled while being accommodated in the cartridge 3.

  The recording disk 19 is a photosensitive recording medium in which a hole is formed in the central portion to form a disk, and a hologram recording layer made of a photosensitive material is provided on both sides. On this hologram recording layer, for example, data is recorded in a multi-layered manner as interference fringes of laser light by laser light in the wavelength range of green 532 nm to blue 405 nm. A reinforcing material may be added to the hole of the recording disk 19.

  In each of the upper surface and the lower surface of the cartridge 3, an opening 21 for exposing the recording disk 19 accommodated in the disk accommodating portion 17 to the outside is formed. These openings 21 are normally closed by a shutter 23 movably provided on the outside of the cartridge 3, and are opened by moving the shutter 23 toward the opening position in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 2. The shutter 23 is biased in the direction of arrow C, which is a closed position, by a spring, and is locked at the closed position by lock mechanisms 25 provided on both sides of the cartridge 3. Therefore, the shutter 23 does not move due to vibration or impact on the cartridge 3 and the opening 21 is not inadvertently opened.

  The cartridge 3 is inserted from the loading direction A into a cartridge slot provided in a recording device that records data on the recording disk 19 and a reproducing device that reads data from the recording disk 19. The cartridge 3 loaded in the recording device or the reproducing device is positioned by positioning holes 27 provided at both ends, the shutter 23 is moved to the open position, and the opening 21 is opened. For example, when the cartridge 3 is loaded in the apparatus in the state shown in FIG. 2, the pickup unit of the apparatus is inserted into the cartridge 3 through the opening 21 on the lower surface (not shown) and is applied to the hologram recording layer on the lower surface of the recording disk 19. On the other hand, data is recorded or reproduced. When the cartridge 3 is turned upside down and loaded into the apparatus, a pickup unit is inserted from the opening 21 facing the lower surface at that time, and data is recorded or reproduced on the hologram recording layer on the upper surface of the recording disk 19 in FIG. The

  In the recording apparatus and the reproducing apparatus, a lock release mechanism that releases the lock mechanism 25 of the cartridge 3 and a shutter opening / closing mechanism that moves the shutter 23 between a closed position and an open position are incorporated. The lock release mechanism is configured to engage a release engagement portion 29 of the lock mechanism 25 provided on each side of the cartridge 3 with a jig and rotate the lock piece integral with the release engagement portion 29 in the lock release direction. By moving the shutter, the shutter 23 is unlocked. When the shutter 23 is unlocked, the shutter opening / closing mechanism inserts a driving pin into a hole 23 a formed in the side surface of the shutter 23 and moves it in the opening direction B. Thereby, the shutter 23 is slid and the openings 21 on both sides of the cartridge 3 are opened.

  The cartridge main body 15 of the cartridge 3 defines a substantially plate-like lower shell 15a, an upper shell 15b joined to the upper surface of the lower shell 15a, and a disk accommodating portion 17. The lower shell 15a and the upper shell 15b are formed of the same or similar thermoplastic plastic to which a light shielding material and a lubricant are added.

  Various substances can be added as the light-shielding substance. For example, 0.01 to 5.00% by weight is preferably added depending on the light-shielding substance to be used. For example, carbon black can be used as the light-shielding substance. The amount of carbon black added is preferably 0.01 to 2.00% by weight. If the added amount exceeds 0.01% by weight, the effect of improving the light-shielding property and the physical strength is exhibited, but if the added amount exceeds 2.00% by weight, the physical strength is lowered.

  As the lubricant, for example, a silicone-based lubricant can be used. Since the frictional resistance is reduced by the addition of the silicone lubricant, generation of shavings due to the movement of the shutter 23 can be reduced. Further, it is possible to reduce the generation of shavings when the recording disk 19 and the inner wall of the cartridge 3 come into contact with each other due to an impact during transportation. Furthermore, the handleability of the insertion performance into the device is improved. Moreover, since fluidity | liquidity improves, workability, such as kneadability at the time of shaping | molding and injection molding, also improves.

  The cartridge 3 according to the present embodiment has the RFID tag 7 in a posture in which the data communication surface 7a is inclined with respect to the insertion direction A of the cartridge 3 into the apparatus in the extra space on the outer periphery of the disk accommodating portion 17 in the cartridge main body 15. Equipped with.

  The RFID tag 7 is a thin label type or card type wireless IC chip whose vertical and horizontal dimensions are, for example, 4 × 10 mm or less, and is used for the distribution of its identification code and the title of data stored on the recording disk 19 or the like. Identification information used for management on the library can be stored, and the stored information can be transmitted and received with the RFID communication means 9 of the accommodation management device 1 by radio waves or electromagnetic waves.

  The RFID tag 7 of the present embodiment is of a type that can be used semi-permanently without a battery by a non-contact power transmission technique from the RFID communication means 9 side. Moreover, a thing as small as possible is desirable. For example, a communication frequency band in the microwave (2.45 GHz) region and a communication distance of about several millimeters to several centimeters are used.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the RFID tag 7 is fixed to the inclined top surface of the tag support portion 15c integrally formed on the inner surface of the lower shell 15a with an adhesive.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cartridge storage 5 stores the cartridge 3 in an upright state with the side end surface 3a at the front end in the insertion direction of the cartridge 3 into the recording device or the like being the front side of the storage. The cartridges 3 to be accommodated are accommodated in an integrated state such that the adjacent cartridges 3 overlap with the front and back surfaces.

  Although not shown, the cartridge storage 5 is provided with a groove or a rib for positioning the stored cartridge 3, and the storage position of each cartridge 3 has a reference number N (in FIG. 1, the storage portion). P1, p2, P3... Attached to the front edge of the bottom surface are set.

  Information relating the reference number N of the cartridge storage 5 and the appropriate communication position of the RFID communication means 9 corresponding to the reference number N is input to the control device 11. The identification information of the cartridge 3 at an arbitrary reference number position is obtained, and the obtained identification information or the like is displayed on the display device 13.

  In addition, an appropriate input device 12 such as a keyboard or a scanner can be connected to the control device 11 of the present embodiment, and whether the cartridge 3 corresponding to the identification information input from the input device is stored in the cartridge storage 5. It is equipped with a search function to check whether or not.

  In the storage management device 1 described above, the identification information of each cartridge 3 used for distribution or management on a library is stored in an RFID tag 7 that can read and write data by wireless communication.

  Since the RFID tag 7 can be much more compact than an existing barcode, it is not necessary to secure a large occupied space for mounting, and is a thin rectangular box with a thickness dimension of several millimeters. The cartridge main body 15 of the cartridge 3 can be easily accommodated within the thickness dimension range. Accordingly, the installation position of the RFID tag 7 storing the identification information can be selected relatively freely without being limited to the front surface or the back surface of the cartridge 3, and the degree of freedom in designing the package such as the packaging container is reduced due to the provision of the identification information. There is nothing to do.

  Further, identification information can be read from the RFID tag 7 without contact with the cartridge 3 by wireless communication. For example, the data communication surface 7 a of the RFID tag 7 faces the side end surface 3 a on the front side of the cartridge storage 5. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, even when a large number of cartridges 3 are aligned and accommodated in a state where the front and back surfaces of the cartridges 3 are stacked, the RFID communication means 9 is moved from the front side of the cartridge storage 5 within the allowable communication distance. The identification information can be read simply by facing the side end surface 3 a of the cartridge 3. Therefore, even when a large number of cartridges 3 are aligned and accommodated so that the front and back surfaces of the cartridges 3 overlap each other, the identification information can be easily read without removing the cartridges 3 one by one from the alignment position. Workability at the time is improved.

  In the cartridge storage 5, a large number of cartridges 3 can be aligned and accommodated so that the front and back surfaces of the cartridges 3 overlap with each other, so that the cartridges 3 can be accommodated at a high density. The cartridge storage 5 can be reduced in size. Further, the moving distance of the RFID communication means 9 when reading the identification information of each cartridge 3 in order is reduced, the identification information reading operation is speeded up, and the entire system can be made compact. Becomes easier.

  Further, since the RFID tag 7 storing the identification information is small, it can be configured to be accommodated in the cartridge main body 15 and not exposed to the surface as in the present embodiment. Unlike barcode stickers, identification information is not lost due to seal peeling due to rubbing during handling, etc., and identification information is maintained even in applications where reading of identification information is frequently repeated High reliability can be secured.

  In addition, since the identification information stored in the RFID tag 7 can be read out in a non-contact manner through wireless communication, the number of times of contact with the cartridge 3 does not increase for reading out the identification information. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the cartridge 3 from being damaged due to an impact caused by inadvertent contact, or the shutter mounted on the cartridge 3 from moving to adversely affect the light shielding performance and dustproof performance of the cartridge 3. For this reason, the cartridge 3 is not soiled for reading the identification information, and the light shielding performance and the dustproof performance of the cartridge 3 are not deteriorated. The identification information given to the cartridge 3 is utilized for distribution or on the library. Can be easily managed.

  In the case of the RFID tag 7, if the incident angle of the radio wave on the data communication surface 7a is within an allowable range, data can be normally communicated even if it is not directly in front of the data communication surface 7a. Therefore, in the configuration in which the data communication surface 7 a of the RFID tag 7 is inclined with respect to the side end surface 3 a of the cartridge 3 facing the front side of the cartridge storage 5 as in the above configuration, the front side of the cartridge storage 5 is viewed. In addition, the identification information can be read from the direction intersecting with the front direction of the cartridge storage 5, and the movement accuracy and assembly accuracy of the equipment position of the RFID communication means 9 are eased, and the RFID communication means 9 is arranged. Can be made easier.

  The storage management system of the present invention includes a hologram recording device and a reproducing device that read and write data from and to the recording disk 19 in the cartridge 3, and a cartridge between these recording device and reproducing device and the cartridge storage 5. In combination with a cartridge changer that performs transfer of 3 to a data output system that quickly detects and outputs desired information from a vast amount of music, video, and other information stored in a large number of cartridges 3 in the cartridge storage 5 It can be developed and used in a jukebox that selectively outputs movies and music and a data distribution system that distributes data stored in the cartridge 3 to the Internet, and can be applied to various industrial fields.

  The accommodation form of the cartridge 3 in the cartridge storage according to the present invention is not limited to the accumulation accommodation in which the front and back surfaces of the cartridges 3 are overlapped as shown in the above embodiment. For example, when it is desired to display the cartridge 3 as a product in the distribution field, etc., as shown in FIG. 3, the cartridge 3 is flattened so that the front and back packages of the cartridge 3 can be seen so that the surface does not overlap. It is good also as a structure accommodated side by side.

  In addition, although not shown, the bottom wall of the storage is disk-shaped, the cartridges 3 are arranged radially with respect to the center of the bottom wall, and the RFID communication means 9 is provided so as to be able to turn at the center of the bottom wall. You may make it do. In this way, the operation of the RFID communication means 9 at the time of reading the identification information is a turning operation of a minute angle, and the processing can be speeded up and the mechanism can be simplified.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A suitable deformation | transformation, improvement, etc. are possible.
For example, it is good also as a storage management system which has any one or several apparatus as a separate independent apparatus among the cartridge storage of the storage management apparatus of the said embodiment, RFID communication means, a control apparatus, and a display apparatus.
