Description

  The present invention relates to a management server that manages a sign or information pile, and a system that provides a service via an IC tag attached to the sign or information pile. Note that “information pile” refers to a pile that can associate various information.

  Some high-function mobile phones called so-called “smartphones” can read information stored in IC tags. Thereby, even the individual can easily read the stored information of the IC tag. As an example, there is an IC tag that stores the URL of a web page to be accessed, and a smartphone that has read the URL accesses this URL (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-165736 A

  However, when the IC tag itself stores information such as a URL, writing by the IC tag writer is required to change the stored information. Therefore, when the URL is changed and the service provided through the URL is switched, the work becomes complicated.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a management server and a service providing system that can flexibly switch a service provided via an IC tag without rewriting information on the IC tag attached to the indicator. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, a management server according to one configuration of the present invention is a management server that manages a plurality of indicators installed on the ground, provided with at least one IC tag for storing tag identification information. , For each of the plurality of indicators, position information of the place where the indicator is installed, tag identification information for each of the at least one IC tag provided in the indicator, and position information of the indicator A management table is provided for storing information relating to at least one service associated with the.

  Here, the “label” is a position marker that indicates the location of land or road used when conducting a land registration survey, or the burial status of cables, water pipes, gas pipes, etc. at that location. Say.

  According to this configuration, since the management table of the management server stores information related to the service associated with the position information of the marking device, not the IC tag provided in the marking device, information on the IC tag attached to the marking device The service provided via the IC tag can be flexibly switched without rewriting the password. Further, since the IC tag only needs to store tag identification information (tag ID) consisting of several bytes, not data having a certain size such as a URL, it is possible to use an inexpensive IC tag with a small storage capacity. is there. Since the position information of the sign is stored, the service in the range centered on this position can be associated with the sign.

  A management server according to another configuration of the present invention is a management server that manages a plurality of piles in which at least one IC tag for storing tag identification information is provided and partly or entirely embedded in the ground. For each of the piles, a management table is provided that stores tag identification information for each of the at least one IC tag provided on the pile and information on at least one service associated with the pile.

  According to this configuration, since the information related to the service associated with the pile is stored in the pile management table of the management server instead of the IC tag provided in the pile, the information on the IC tag attached to the pile is not rewritten, Services provided via the IC tag can be flexibly switched. Further, since the IC tag is provided on the pile, if only a part of the pile is embedded in the ground, anyone can easily read the IC tag attached to the pile.

  In each configuration described above, the management table provided in the management server may be included in the management server itself, or may be included in a database connected to the management server. Furthermore, the entity of the pile management table may exist in any place as long as the management server can access it.

  In a preferred embodiment, at least one service associated with the location information of the sign or at least one service associated with the stake is a potential user for an individual who has access to the sign or stake. It is. According to this, since information related to services for which a person who can access the sign or stake is a potential user is stored in the management table, an individual located in the vicinity of the sign or stake obtains information about this service. If possible, it is beneficial for both this individual and the service provider. Therefore, the at least one service associated with the position information of the sign or the at least one service associated with the pile is preferably a service provided around the place where the sign or pile is installed It is. Thereby, the information of the service contained in the range demarcated centering on the position of a sign or a pile can be collected, and it can be set as one group.

Here, “accessible to a sign or stake” means that tag identification information stored in an IC tag provided on the sign or stake can be read by a terminal having a reader function.
“Potential user” means that there is a possibility of becoming a user.

  In a preferred embodiment, the type of service includes at least one of an evacuation route, historic site search, and gourmet information.

  When the service type includes an evacuation route, the information related to the service includes an access method to a server including information for notifying a disaster situation, and when the service type includes historical site search, the service If the type of service includes gourmet information, including a method of accessing a server including a map indicating a historical site around a place where a sign or a stake associated with the service is installed, And a method of accessing a server including a map around a place where a position indicator is associated with the service or a stake associated with the service is installed.

  Here, “the service information includes a method for accessing the server” preferably means that the URL of the server is included in the service information.

  The service providing system according to one configuration of the present invention is at least one terminal having a reader function for reading the management server and tag identification information stored in the IC tag, and uses the tag identification information read by the reader function. A terminal including application software for acquiring information on the at least one service associated with the position information of the sign provided with the IC tag or the at least one service associated with the stake from the management server. Prepare.

  According to this configuration, since the terminal can acquire the position information of the indicator provided with the IC tag or the information related to the service associated with the pile by the application software using the tag identification information read by the reader function, the terminal The individual carrying the card can obtain information on the service simply by holding the terminal over a sign or a stake so that the reader function of the terminal can read the tag identification information of the IC tag.

  The “terminal” may be anything as long as it has a reader function and can communicate with the management server. The communication between the terminal and the management server is preferably wireless communication. The terminal is preferably a multi-function mobile phone, but may not have a telephone function. The terminal may be a tablet terminal. Note that the reader function for reading the tag identification information stored in the IC tag may be provided separately from the main body of the terminal.

  In a preferred embodiment, when the reader function of the terminal reads the tag identification information of the IC tag, the IC tag has the terminal associated with the position information of the indicator provided with the IC tag in the terminal. Application software necessary for providing one service or the at least one service associated with the stake is automatically downloaded. According to this, since application software necessary for providing the service is automatically downloaded, the convenience of the individual carrying the terminal is improved.

  According to the system of the present invention, information related to the service provided via the IC tag is not stored in the IC tag itself, but is stored in the IC tag management table of the management server. Can be flexibly switched. Further, since the IC tag is attached to the indicator, the position information of the indicator and the information about the service provided via the IC tag are associated with each other, and the IC tag serves as a medium in this association.

1 is a schematic conceptual configuration diagram of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is the schematic which shows the IC tag management table of the management server of the system of FIG.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A system 1 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes an IC tag 8 attached to one or a plurality of piles (markers) 2 partially or wholly embedded in the ground, and a multi-function mobile phone 3. The information pile management server (management server) 4 and a plurality of web servers 5 that provide different services, respectively. The multi-function mobile phone 3, the management server 4, and the web server 5 are connected to each other via the Internet 6.

  In this embodiment, the pile 2 is a geography such as information on the position of land or road used when conducting a land ownership survey, or information on the position of underground buried objects such as cables, water pipes, and gas pipes. It is a sign pile for displaying target information. Here, since the pile 2 hardly chooses an installation place, the pile 2 can be installed for every area | region of the arbitrary ranges, and the service provided in each area | region can be linked | related. As will be described later, application software corresponds to this service. Each area may be associated with a corresponding security type (security).

  One or a plurality of IC tags 8 are attached to the piles 2 respectively. Specifically, the IC tag 8 is stored in the storage space inside the pile 2, or the IC tag 8 is attached to the head of the pile 2, and the IC tag 8 is fixed to the pile 2 to be attached. It is done. The IC tag 8 may be fixed to the pile 2 by any method. Further, the IC tag 8 is not necessarily fixed to the pile 2. However, the IC tag 8 is preferably stored in a storage space inside the pile 2. Thereby, a weather resistance improves. Since the IC tag 8 attached to the pile 2 is accessed by a large number of individuals as will be described later, the pile 2 is preferably easily visible. Therefore, the pile 2 is preferably only partially embedded in the ground.

  The IC tag 8 associated with the stake 2 has a storage area having a storage capacity of 8 bytes, for example. The multi-function mobile phone 3 has an IC tag reader function, and reads information stored in the storage area of the IC tag 8 close to the IC tag 8, that is, the pile 2 to which the IC tag 8 is attached. This stored information includes the tag number of the IC tag 8. The multi-function mobile phone 3 may further have a writer function as well as an IC tag reader function. The multi-function mobile phone 3 is equipped with application software (hereinafter referred to as “application”) for accessing the IC tag 8, and information read from the storage area of the IC tag 8 is used for this access. Processed by the app. By this processing, the access application recognizes the tag number included in the information read from the storage area of the IC tag 8. The access application is preferably preinstalled in the multi-function mobile phone 3. In addition to this access, the multi-function mobile phone 3 is installed with various application programs to be described later by downloading. In these applications, the tag number stored in the IC tag 8 of the stake 2 is used as a common key. The tag number can also play a role of indicating position information.

  The management server 4 manages the pile 2 and stores a pile management table (management table) 42 in the connected database 41. As shown in FIG. 2, the pile management table 42 has a pile-related information storage column 42a corresponding to each pile. The pile-related information storage column 42a has essential management items and arbitrary management items. The essential management items include, for example, a pile management number storage unit 42aa, a shipping date storage unit 42ab, a tag number storage unit 42ac unique to the IC tag, and a pile installation information storage unit 42ad. The arbitrary management items include, for example, a service type storage unit 42ae and a corresponding service related information storage unit 42af, and the service type storage unit 42ae and the corresponding service related information storage unit 42af constitute a service storage unit 43. Although the case where each pile related information storage sequence 42a has only one service storage unit 43 is illustrated, each pile related information storage sequence 42a can include any number of service storage units 43.

  In the pile management number storage unit 42aa, a number unique to the pile is assigned and stored, for example, when the pile is shipped. The shipping date storage unit 42ab stores the date of shipment of the pile. A unique number assigned to the IC tag associated with the stake is stored in the tag number storage unit 42ac when the IC tag is attached to the stake. That is, if the IC tag is already stored in the pile when the pile is shipped, the tag number is stored in the tag storage unit 42ac when the pile is shipped or before this. On the other hand, if the IC tag is attached to the pile after the pile is installed, the tag number is stored in the tag storage unit 42ac at that time. The tag number stored in the tag number storage unit 42ac is the same as that stored in the storage area of the IC tag, and corresponds to the tag number recognized by the above-described access application of the multi-function mobile phone 3. The pile installation information storage unit 42ad stores information related to pile installation, for example, an installation position composed of the latitude and longitude of the pile, and a pile installer. As the tag number, an installation position (position information) of the pile may be used. In that case, as will be described later, the position information acquired by the GPS sensor of the multifunctional mobile phone of the worker involved in the installation of the pile is used as the tag number of the pile. However, when the position information of the pile is used as the tag number in this way, only one IC tag is provided in one pile.

  As described above, the service storage unit 43 includes the service type storage unit 42ae, the corresponding service related information storage unit 42af, and the service related image 42ag. The service type storage unit 42ae stores the type of service provided via the IC tag attached to the stake. Specifically, because the piles are easily installed on the ground, they are not only used for indicating the position, but also for various uses (indexes for evacuation routes during disasters, indexes for historic sites search, indexes for gourmet information, etc.) ) Can be used. That is, the stake is a mark for various services, and is commonly recognized among these services. Therefore, a service that can be provided is specified from among the services related to the service type stored in the service type storage unit 42ae. The service related information storage unit 42af stores information necessary for providing a service such as the URL of a web page of the web server 5 (FIG. 1) that provides the service. The service-related image 42ag stores an image related to the service. For service-related images, if the service type is an evacuation route, an aerial photo of the area where the pile is installed, and if searching for a service type historic site, the historic site photo and the service type are gourmet In the case of information, a picture of the restaurant is applicable. However, it is not necessarily limited to these.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the web server 5 has web pages that provide different services. The web server 5 may be composed of any computer that can provide a web page. Among the web servers 5, the first web server 5 </ b> A provides a web page 50 </ b> A for notifying a disaster situation, for example, when the pile functions as an index of an evacuation route at the time of a disaster. The disaster situation may be over a wide area or limited to this pile. The second web server 5B provides a web page 50B including a map showing a historic site around a place where the pile is installed, for example, when the pile functions as an index for historic site search. When the stake is an indicator of gourmet information, the third web server 5C provides, for example, a web page 50C including a map showing restaurants around the place where the stake is installed. As another example of the web server 5, a web page including a walking map may be provided. This walking map shows the positions of a plurality of piles, and these piles function as check points when walking. And whenever the person who participated in the walking game from the web page accesses the IC tag 8 at these check points, the participant is given points as a privilege. Thereby, the motivation with respect to walking of the person who walks with the multifunctional mobile phone 3 is greatly improved.

Next, the operation of the system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described separately for the setting process and the operation process.
First, the setting process will be described. When the pile 2 of FIG. 1 is manufactured and shipped, a pile-related information storage column 42a is added to the pile management table 42 of FIG. 2, and information regarding the pile is stored. Specifically, the assigned management number unique to the pile is stored in the management number storage unit 42aa, and the shipping date of the pile is stored in the shipping date storage unit 42ab. When the IC tag 8 (FIG. 1) is already stored in the pile at the time of shipping the pile 2 (FIG. 1), the tag number of the IC tag 8 (FIG. 1) is stored in the tag number storage unit 42ac. . This tag number is unique to the IC tag and is also stored at a predetermined location in the storage area of the IC tag.

  The pile 2 (FIG. 1) shipped in this way is embedded in the ground at a predetermined position where surveying is performed. Thereafter, the measured position information is stored in the pile installation information storage unit 42ad together with information such as the installer. The position information may be acquired by a GPS sensor stored in the pile 2.

  Such update of the pile management table 42 can be performed by remote control. Specifically, when an operator involved in pile installation inputs pile installation information from the multi-function mobile phone 3 using a predetermined application of the multi-function mobile phone 3, the pile management table 42 is updated. . Therefore, the information at the time of installing the pile can be updated from the place when the pile is installed. In particular, the position information of the pile 2 can be acquired by the GPS sensor of the multifunctional mobile phone 3 of the operator involved in the installation of the pile 2. The position information acquired in this way is immediately transmitted from the multi-function mobile phone 3 to the management server 4 and / or the IC tag 8 of the pile 2, and stored in the pile management table 42 (FIG. 2) and / or the IC tag 8. The After the pile 2 is installed, every time an operator involved in the maintenance management of the pile 2 goes to the place where the pile 2 is installed, the position information of the pile 2 is acquired by the GPS sensor of the multi-function mobile phone 3. Each time, the position information stored in the pile management table 42 (FIG. 2) and / or the IC tag 8 of the pile 2 may be updated. In this way, accurate position information of the pile 2 can be stored in association with the tag number using the pile management table 42 (FIG. 2) or the IC tag 8. However, in the update of the pile management table 42, the tag number functioning as a key in the pile related information storage column 42a is not changed, and only other information can be updated.

  The pile 2 (FIG. 1) is installed for various purposes. For example, it may be aimed at an index of an evacuation route at the time of a disaster. In that case, a plurality of piles with arrows indicating the evacuation route on the top surface of the pile 2 (FIG. 1) are arranged along the evacuation route. Is done. Such an arrow may be composed of an LED, digital signage, or the like. And these LEDs etc. light up at the time of a disaster, and the role of the guide light of an evacuation route is played, and if these piles are traced, it will be guide | induced to an evacuation site. When such a pile is installed, it is stored in the service type storage unit 42ae that the service type is “evacuation route (an index of the evacuation route at the time of disaster)”, and the service related information storage unit 42af The URL of the web page that notifies the disaster situation is stored. As a result, a plurality of stakes arranged at specific positions and constituting points on the map function as if they were connected by lines. That is, if a GIS (geographic information system) is linked to the web page 50A (FIG. 1), a plurality of stakes serving as evacuation route marks are shown on the map, and the positions of the stakes blink on the map. By doing so, the evacuation route at the site can be easily identified.

  Thus, when stakes are combined as an evacuation route, simple point-by-point stakes constitute linear information. In addition to this, information such as a disaster evacuation site may be stored in the service-related information storage unit 42af. When the pile 2 (FIG. 1) is not only for the index of the evacuation route at the time of disaster, but also for the index of historic spot search, the service type storage of another service storage unit 43 in the same pile related information storage column 42a The service type is stored as “historical site search (historical site search index)” in the unit 42ae, and the URL of the web page including the map indicating the historical site is stored in the corresponding service related information storage unit 42af. Similarly, the service storage units 43 are secured by the number of services that can be provided in relation to the piles, and necessary information is stored in the service type storage units 42ae and the service related information storage units 42af.

Next, the operation process will be described.
First, it is assumed that an individual who has the multi-function mobile phone 3 of FIG. 1 evacuates when a disaster occurs. Assume that the individual discovers the pile 2 while traveling on the road, recognizing the need for evacuation. This individual activates the disaster application downloaded in advance and brings the multifunctional mobile phone 3 possessed closer to the pile 2. On the other hand, the IC tag reading function of the multi-function mobile phone 3 reads the stored information of the IC tag, and the access application recognizes the tag number. Then, the disaster application accesses the pile management table 42 via the Internet 6 and searches the corresponding pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2) using the recognized tag number as a key. In one or a plurality of service storage units of the pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2), the service type stored in the service type storage unit 42ae (FIG. 2) is “evacuation route (disaster route index at the time of disaster)” ”, The disaster application accesses the URL stored in the service-related information storage unit 42af (FIG. 2) via the Internet 6, and the pile-related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2). The web page 50A related to the pile position information stored in the pile installation information storage unit 42ad (FIG. 2) is displayed on the multi-function mobile phone 3. Thereby, the individual heading to the evacuation site can grasp the situation of the disaster around the pile. Further, even when the evacuation place is changed, it can be grasped from the web page 50A.

  Secondly, it is assumed that an individual searches for a historic site with the multifunctional mobile phone 3. Suppose that this individual discovers the pile 2 during the historic site search. This individual activates the historical site search application downloaded in advance, and brings the multifunctional mobile phone 3 possessed closer to the pile 2. On the other hand, the IC tag reading function of the multi-function mobile phone 3 reads the stored information of the IC tag, and the access application recognizes the tag number. Then, the historical site search application accesses the pile management table 42 via the Internet 6 and searches the corresponding pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2) using the recognized tag number as a key. In one or a plurality of service storage units in this pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2), if there is one whose service type stored in the service type storage unit 42ae (FIG. 2) is “an index for historic site search” The historical site search application accesses the URL stored in the service related information storage unit 42af (FIG. 2) via the Internet 6, and sets the pile installation information storage unit 42ad in the pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2). The web page 50B stored in FIG. 2 is displayed on the multi-function mobile phone 3. Specifically, the web page 50B is composed of a map including a historic site marker 51, and a pile marker 52 corresponding to the pile 2 to which the recognized IC tag 8 is attached is displayed at the center of the map. ing. Then, when a historic spot marker 51 is selected for an individual who is searching for a historic spot, a balloon 50Ba is displayed, and an explanation of the historic spot is displayed. Thus, an individual who is searching for a historic site can acquire information about the surrounding historic sites simply by bringing the multifunctional mobile phone 3 possessed closer to the pile 2.

  As a variation of the historic site search service, the service may be a history simulation game. Such a history simulation game functions as an application instead of the historical site search application. In this case, when the individual who is executing the history simulation game on the multi-function mobile phone 3 brings the multi-function mobile phone 3 close to the stake 2, the access application recognizes the tag number, and the history simulation game is executed. The management table 42 is accessed via the Internet 6 and the corresponding pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2) is searched using the recognized tag number as a key. Then, the URL obtained from the pile related information storage row 42a (FIG. 2) is accessed via the Internet 6. In this URL web page, information on participants of the history simulation game is managed, and in response to the multi-function mobile phone 3 being brought close to the pile 2, a privilege that depends on the installation location of the pile 2 is given. It may be given. For example, a character associated with the installation location may be given to a history simulation game on the multifunctional mobile phone 3 close to the stake 2.

  Thirdly, it is assumed that an individual has a multifunctional mobile phone 3 and looks for a restaurant during sightseeing. Suppose that this individual discovers pile 2 during sightseeing. This individual orbits the gourmet information application downloaded in advance and brings the multifunctional mobile phone 3 possessed close to the pile 2. On the other hand, the IC tag reading function of the multi-function mobile phone 3 reads the stored information of the IC tag, and the access application recognizes the tag number. Then, the gourmet information application accesses the pile management table 42 via the Internet 6 and searches the corresponding pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2) using the recognized tag number as a key. In one or a plurality of service storage units of the pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2), the service type stored in the service type storage unit 42ae (FIG. 2) is “gourmet information (gourmet information index)”. If there is something, the gourmet information application accesses the URL stored in the service related information storage unit 42af (FIG. 2) via the Internet 6, and installs the piles in the pile related information storage column 42a (FIG. 2). Web page 50C stored in information storage unit 42ad (FIG. 2) is displayed on multi-function mobile phone 3. Specifically, this web page 50C is composed of a map including a restaurant marker 53, and a pile marker 52 corresponding to the pile 2 to which the recognized IC tag 8 is attached is displayed at the center of the map. Has been. And if the marker 53 of the restaurant with the individual who is sightseeing is selected, balloon 50Ca will be displayed and the description about the restaurant will be displayed. Thus, an individual who is sightseeing can obtain information about nearby restaurants simply by bringing the multifunctional mobile phone 3 possessed to the pile 2.

  In such a gourmet information service, every time the IC tag 8 of the stake 2 is accessed, a point serving as a privilege may be given to the owner of the accessed multifunctional mobile phone 3.

  In the above-described embodiment, the disaster application, the historical site search application, and the gourmet information application have been described as being downloaded in advance. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the application for accessing the IC tag recognizes the tag number of the IC tag, it may be automatically downloaded to the multi-function mobile phone 3. Specifically, when an individual holding the multi-function mobile phone 3 accesses the multi-function mobile phone 3 by approaching the multi-function mobile phone 3 close to the stake 2, the IC tag 8 Execute the operation. As this predetermined operation, apps required for the service (disaster application, historic site search app, and gourmet information app) are downloaded, and information about the service is displayed on the multi-function mobile phone 3 using the downloaded app. For example. According to this, since it is not necessary to download the application required for the service in advance to the multi-function mobile phone 3, the convenience of the individual receiving the service is improved. In addition, even if the information associated with the stakes is changed, individuals who receive the service will not be forced to perform additional operations such as downloading an application required for the service after the change.

  As an application mode not included in the scope of the present invention, the IC tag 8 stores the URL of the related service in addition to the tag number. In addition, the position information of the stake may be included at the end of the URL, and information corresponding to the position may be provided from the web page of the URL.

  As described above, an individual holding the multifunctional mobile phone 3 can receive various services using the installed pile 2. It should be noted that various services can be received through the application of the multi-function mobile phone 3 even without the operation of bringing the multi-function mobile phone 3 close to the pile 2, that is, the operation of reading the stored information of the IC tag 8. Thus, the content of the service can be easily limited to the vicinity of the pile. That is, since the present location is specified by the position information of the pile stored in the pile management table 42, when receiving a service through the application, it is possible to easily save the trouble of inputting an item such as an address of the current location. Information can be acquired. Moreover, since a plurality of services can be associated with a pile installed at a specific position, information can be grouped for each position, which is extremely useful for management of enormous information.

  In this system 1, the information about the service to be provided is not stored in the IC tag 8 itself but is stored in the pile management table 42, so that the service to be provided is changed or the URL of the web page that provides the service Even if the information is changed, it is only necessary to update the pile management table 42, so that a complicated operation of rewriting the information stored in the IC tag 8 is unnecessary.

  When the pile 2 is newly installed or the installed pile 2 is removed during the operation of this system, only the pile related information storage column 42a is newly added to the pile management table 42 of FIG. It is only necessary to delete the pile related information storage column 42a. In addition, when the IC tag 8 fails, a new IC tag 8 (FIG. 1) is provided in the pile 2 (FIG. 1) instead of the IC tag 8 (FIG. 1). While the number 42ac is changed, additional information such as the service type 42ae may be continuously stored so that the additional information can continue to be used.

  In the present embodiment, the marking device is composed of the piles 2, but the marking device is not limited to the piles, and may be composed of nails, scissors or the like.

  In this embodiment, although the structure which has one IC tag in one pile was demonstrated, a some IC tag may be attached to one pile. In that case, the pile related information storage column 42a of the pile management table 42 exists for each IC tag. However, the plurality of IC tags have different frequency bands.

  The multi-function mobile phone 3 may be anything as long as it can connect to the reader function of the IC tag and the Internet. For example, a personal digital assistant (PDA) may be used. In addition, it may be an AR (augmented reality) terminal such as a glasses or a surveying instrument terminal.

  The Internet 6 may be any network and may instead be an intranet.
