As the power supply circuit 350, a solar battery panel 360, a battery, and a commercial power supply can be used. However, if the solar battery panel 360 is used, the power supply circuit 350 can be arranged at any place in the guidance area without considering the power supply of the guidance output device. In addition, it is advantageous in terms of maintenance costs and maintenance as compared with the case of using a battery. In addition, when using a solar cell panel, it is desirable to use a non-volatile memory or a battery for memory maintenance.

Next, the operation of the destination guidance system of the present invention will be described taking a hospital as an example.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the installation position of the destination guidance system in the hospital. In this description, it is assumed that the patient uses the X-ray room (1F) and the electrocardiogram room (2F) in the order of the X-ray room → the electrocardiogram room for periodic medical examinations.

  The examination ticket 1100 possessed by the guided person is an IC card and has a function of storing information. In this description, the examination ticket 1100 is used as a guidance information storage device (see 100 in FIG. 1). In the following description, an IC card is used, but the guide information storage device may use an RFID other than the IC card, a Felica function of a mobile phone, or the like.

  A large number of guide plates 1300 installed in passages, stairs and the like operate as a guidance output device (see 300 in FIG. 1) and store position information of each installed.

The receiving personal computer 1200 operates as a guidance information recording device (see 200 in FIG. 1). The reception computer 1200 is installed at a reception serving as a hospital window. An update personal computer 1210 having the same configuration as the reception personal computer 1200 is installed in the X-ray room and the electrocardiogram room.
In the reception personal computer 1200, information on the installation positions of the guide plates 1300 arranged at various places is stored as information on the location of the location, together with information on the installation position indicating the window (current location: the installation location of the reception personal computer). Similarly, in the reception personal computer 1200, as attribute information 112 of the personal information 110, information 112a regarding the patient's moving ability / moving means and information 112b regarding the visual field are recorded. The information 112a regarding the moving ability / moving means is set by moving ability and moving means such as a person with a disability, a person using crutches, a wheelchair, or the like. Moreover, the information 112b regarding the visual field is set by information such as the eye height based on the height (sitting height) of the patient, visual information, and hearing impairment.
In the X-ray room update personal computer 1210, position information of other points is recorded as point position information together with information on the installation position indicating the X-ray room. Similarly, in the electrocardiogram room update personal computer 1210, position information of other points is recorded as point position information together with installation position information indicating the electrocardiogram room.
FIG. 6 is a diagram in which guide plates 1300 are installed at four locations on the 1F corridor and 2 locations on the 2F corridor as an example, but in reality, there are many guide plates 1300 scattered according to the situation of the building. Will be installed.
The examination ticket 1100 is distributed to a patient or the like, and guidance information is written in the reception personal computer 1200. At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 3, route information 120 including a plurality of position information indicating a plurality of destinations to be guided and a guidance order of the plurality of destinations as guidance information, Personal information 110 including guided person attribute information 112 generated from guided person setting information is recorded.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of destination position information, in which route identification, building, floor, and room information are recorded.

If the example of setting the information for guidance is shown, for example, when it is desired to receive a periodic medical examination, a place necessary for the periodic medical examination is input to the reception computer 1200 at the reception, and the purpose of the path information as a path of the periodic medical examination is The order of the ground (first X-ray room, second electrocardiogram room,...) And the next destination information that is the information of the next destination are information indicating the X-ray room that is the first destination. It is set as information for guidance. Thereafter, the reception personal computer 1200 records the personal information and attribute information in the examination ticket 1100 in addition to the above information.
Further, when the arrangement of the guide plate 1300 in the guide area is changed, it is necessary to rewrite other information in the guide plate 1300 only by rewriting the location information (own position information) of the guide plate 1300. It is possible to change the arrangement without doing so. That is, it is possible to guide with the guide plate 1300 without connecting the personal computer and the guide plate 1300 with each other via a network, and the guide plate 1300 can be changed only by carrying the guide plate 1300.

Next, the operation of the destination guidance system when the guide plate 1300 is used will be described.
When a patient holds an examination ticket 1100 (IC card), walks around the hospital, and goes to the X-ray room at the first destination, when the location of the X-ray room becomes unknown, the examination ticket 1300 is placed on the nearby information board 1300. Get guidance by getting closer. Get to the X-ray room while receiving the information at various locations.
At this time, the control unit 310 in the guide plate 1300 refers to the next destination information 121 in the examination ticket 1100 as guidance information necessary for guidance, and acquires the destination information to be guided.
The control unit 310 (FIG. 4) generates guidance contents from the acquired destination information and previously held information, and sends it to the guidance output unit 330. Upon receiving the generated guidance content, the guidance output unit 330 displays the content on a liquid crystal screen or the like. As an example of the instruction, as shown in FIG. 8, the LED or the liquid crystal indicated by the arrow in one direction out of the eight directions is turned on (flashes). Note that the shape of the display unit may not be a quadrangle, but may be a circle as shown in FIG. Further, as long as the liquid crystal can be displayed freely, a key-shaped arrow may be turned on (flashed) as shown in FIG.
A cover may be provided on the guide plate 1300 in places where it is not desired for other people to know guidance such as hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. FIG. 11 thru | or FIG. 13 is a figure explaining the example of installation of a cover. FIG. 11 shows a cover of a guide plate 1300 installed on the wall surface (laterally).
FIG. 12 shows a cover of a guide plate 1300 disposed horizontally (upward) with respect to the ground.
FIG. 13 is a cover of a guide plate 1300 that strictly protects the guidance content. The display of FIG. 13 is confirmed by looking from above.
By providing a cover on the guide plate 1300, only the patient can acquire information on the destination of the destination, and people other than the patient cannot look into the guidance content. This can be used to protect patient privacy.

Next, the operation of the destination guidance system when the patient aims at the electrocardiogram room as the next destination after the X-ray examination in the X-ray room as the first destination will be described.
The medical examination ticket 1100 is updated by the update personal computer 1210 in the X-ray room. By this update, the guidance information recorded on the examination ticket 1100 is rewritten as follows.
The control unit of the update personal computer 1210 rewrites the next destination information into information indicating the destination circulation order of the ECG room as the next destination. The rewriting may be performed by adding a number in the destination patrol order, or may be performed by providing an end flag for each destination patrol order in the next destination information.
At this time, it is also possible to perform interrupt setting for another destination as necessary. Furthermore, the attribute information can be updated as necessary. As a specific example, there is a case where a break room is newly set as a destination when a waiting time occurs after radiographing. In addition, if the condition becomes worse in the X-ray room and the transportation means is changed to a wheelchair from here, the attribute information will be changed, the next guidance point will be the place of the elevator from the stairs point, and the direction indication to be guided will be displayed. Be changed.

  When the patient leaves the X-ray room and the location of the next destination, the electrocardiogram room, is not known, he / she is guided to the next destination by bringing the examination ticket 1100 closer to the information board 1300 installed in the hallway. .

In the example of FIG. 6, only two of the X-ray room and the electrocardiogram room have been described as route information. However, even when there are three or more destinations, the same processing is performed and guidance is appropriately provided.
Next, some aspects of the guidance output unit 330 of the guidance output device 300 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since the mode described below operates even when mixed with the guidance output device 300 of other modes, each mode can be installed at an appropriate place.

  The guidance output unit 330 outputs guidance according to a signal output from the control unit 310, but may take the form shown below depending on the specifications of the destination guidance system. For example, when there is attribute information corresponding to visual impairment in the personal information, guidance by contact is performed instead of guidance by display using liquid crystal or the like. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, a heating element 151 corresponding to the shape of an arrow or the like is disposed below a surface (guide surface) 150 having thermal conductivity, and the heating element is heated to It is good also as a form made to perceive by the heat sense of a guide. Moreover, it is good also as a form which controls many pins which have the mechanism to go up and down, represents an arrow etc. by an unevenness | corrugation, and is perceived by the tactile sense of a to-be-guided person.

  In the shape of the heating element in FIG. 14, an example in which arrows in eight directions and a floor floor can be displayed is shown. In order to display the floor, the guidance output unit 330 in FIG. 4 displays the floor using the floor identification information in the destination position information shown in FIG.

  When dealing with visual impairment, guidance by voice may be performed instead of guidance by display using liquid crystal or the like.

  In addition, when there is visual field attribute information 112b in the guided person's personal information 110, the control unit 310 reads the visual field attribute information 112b recorded in the personal information 110, and sets the visual field range b1, the eye height b2, and the like. It can also be settable. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the guidance output unit is formed in a dome shape so that panning / tilting is possible (changeable in up / down / left / right directions), so that it is possible to appropriately cope with the privacy problem. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the display screen of the guidance output unit is embedded in a shape having a limited viewable range (viewing angle). In this way, the display unit is automatically panned and tilted so as to receive the line of sight of only the guided person, and is kept within the range of the visual field of the guided person. In another example, as shown in FIG. 17, the display screen of the guidance output unit is provided with a cover so as to be electrically operated up and down according to the eye height b2, and the display unit is provided only for the guided person. The height may be automatically adjusted so that the line of sight can be received, and the visual field of the guided person may be accommodated.

  Note that the attribute information recorded in the personal information is not limited to the information on the movement ability, movement means, vision, and hearing of the guided person, but in accordance with the specifications required for the guidance system, the reading ability of Braille and sign language and the conversation. The ability may be set, and the guidance output device has a display function corresponding to these attribute information.

  In the present invention, it has been described that the guidance output unit performs guidance display corresponding to the position information of a predetermined examination room, staircase, and elevator, but it is also possible to capture the positions of a toilet, a changing room, and the like. Further, the guidance output device can be installed at an arbitrary place, and may be installed on an upper part of a handrail such as a corridor, or may be installed on a wall surface or a floor surface.

  Next, effects of the above embodiment will be described.

The effect of the destination guidance system according to the embodiment is that no network work is required for installing the guidance output device. In addition, the use of solar cell panels eliminates the need for special power supply work at the installation location. Accordingly, even when the guidance output device is relocated, the relocation work is completed only by moving the guidance output device. Due to such a configuration, setting of the guidance output device is completed only by inputting the position information of the place for guidance at a simple place.

  Further, if a non-volatile memory is used, even if the power is interrupted, if the power supply is restored after that, the operation immediately before the interruption is performed.

  In addition, since it is inexpensive, guidance output devices can be installed in many places, and convenience can be provided to the guided person. In addition, privacy and obstacles can be dealt with for each guidance output device, and a destination guidance system can generally be provided at a low cost. In addition, since the guidance output device automatically guides a route suitable for movement, barrier-free can be realized.

  With the above effects, it is possible to provide a destination guidance system that reduces facility costs and pursues the convenience of the person being guided. In addition, it is possible to provide a destination guidance system that facilitates installation, maintenance, and relocation and pursues the convenience of the guided person.
