  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the information output system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the server device 20 is connected to a network N1. The wireless terminal 10 can be connected to the network N1 through wireless communication with the access point 30 connected to the network N1. Therefore, the server device 20 and the wireless terminal 10 can communicate with each other.

  For example, the wireless terminal 10 takes out a specific product (for example, a product or an item such as a product stored in a warehouse in a distribution center or the like (in the present embodiment, described as “product”)) (for example, , A terminal used by a worker who performs picking work). The wireless terminal 10 executes a process for supporting specification of the position of the product to be taken out. The wireless terminal 10 may be a dedicated terminal or may be a general-purpose terminal such as a tablet terminal, a smartphone, or a mobile phone.

  The server device 20 is a computer that stores attribute information (hereinafter referred to as “product information”) of each product stored in a warehouse.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the wireless terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention. The wireless terminal 10 of FIG. 2 includes a drive device 100, an auxiliary storage device 102, a memory device 103, a CPU 104, an interface device 105, a display device 106, an input device 107, an audio input device 108, And a position detection device 109 and the like.

  A program for realizing processing in the wireless terminal 10 is stored in the auxiliary storage device 102. The memory device 103 reads the program from the auxiliary storage device 102 and stores it when there is an instruction to start the program. The CPU 104 realizes functions related to the wireless terminal 10 in accordance with a program stored in the memory device 103. The interface device 105 is used as an interface for performing wireless communication. The display device 106 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the like by a program. The input device 107 is a touch panel, a button, or the like, and is used for receiving an operation instruction input from a user.

  The voice input device 108 is a microphone, for example. The voice input device 108 inputs a worker's voice and converts it into an electrical signal. The position detection device 109 is a device that detects the position of the wireless terminal 10. For example, the position detection device 109 may be a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. Alternatively, the position detected by the position detection device 109 may be a position in a predetermined coordinate system in the warehouse. For example, the position may be detected based on radio waves from a plurality of access points 30 installed in the warehouse, or the position information stored in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or the like arranged on the floor of the warehouse or the like. Based on this, the position may be detected.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the wireless terminal and the server device in the embodiment of the present invention. 3, the wireless terminal 10 includes a position information acquisition unit 11, a voice recognition unit 12, a product search unit 13, a first condition determination unit 14, a second condition determination unit 15, a search result output unit 16, and the like. Each of these units is realized by processing executed by the CPU 104 by a program installed in the wireless terminal 10. The wireless terminal 10 also has a second condition storage unit 17. The second condition storage unit 17 can be realized using the auxiliary storage device 102, for example.

  The position information acquisition unit 11 acquires position information indicating the current position of the wireless terminal 10 using the position detection device 109. For example, if the position detection device 109 is a GPS receiver, the position information is information indicating latitude and longitude.

  The voice recognition unit 12 performs a voice recognition process on a voice electric signal (hereinafter referred to as “voice signal”) input by the voice input device 108 and converts the voice signal into a character string. The voice recognition unit 12 outputs a character string as a conversion result.

  The product search unit 13 searches the product information storage unit 21 included in the server device 20 for product information including a product code that matches the character string output from the voice recognition unit 12 in the forward direction. That is, a product code that includes the character string as a part from the beginning or a product code that completely matches the character string is searched. The product code is an example of product identification information in the present embodiment.

  The first condition determination unit 14 determines whether or not the positional relationship of each product related to product information sequentially searched for the first search target product satisfies a certain condition. Hereinafter, the certain condition is referred to as “first condition”. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the search result has been narrowed to such an extent that the user can start moving. For example, it is determined whether or not the distribution of the position of each product related to the product information of the search result is within a predetermined range.

  The second condition determination unit 15 determines whether or not the search result of the product information satisfies a certain condition regarding the search for the second and subsequent search target products. Hereinafter, the certain condition is referred to as “second condition”. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the relationship between the position of the commodity group related to the search result related to the second commodity and the position of the first commodity satisfies the second condition. For example, in the process of moving to the first product, if the location of the second product passes, it is more efficient to take out the second product first. The second condition determination unit 15 performs determination to enable such extraction. The second condition storage unit 17 stores information constituting the second condition.

  The search result output unit 16 displays the search result on the display device 106 when the search result of the product information satisfies the first condition or the second condition. For example, a screen showing the position specified based on each product information of the search result is displayed.

  The server device 20 includes a product information storage unit 21. The product information storage unit 21 stores product information of each product stored in the warehouse. The product information storage unit 21 can be realized by using an auxiliary storage device included in the server device 20 or a storage device connected to the server device 20 via a network.

  Hereinafter, a processing procedure executed by the wireless terminal 10 will be described. 4 and 5 are flowcharts for explaining an example of a processing procedure executed by the wireless terminal.

  For example, when a product search instruction is input by the user via the input device 107, the wireless terminal 10 waits for voice input (S101). Subsequently, the position information acquisition unit 11 acquires the current position information of the wireless terminal 10 from the position detection device 109. The position information acquisition unit 11 stores the acquired position information in the memory device 103.

  Subsequently, the user starts to read out the product code of the search target product from the wireless terminal 10. The voice signal of the user's voice is input by the voice input device 108. In response to the input of the voice signal by the voice input device 108, the voice recognition unit 12 performs voice recognition processing on the voice signal and converts the voice signal into a character string (S103). Note that step S103 may be executed before the reading of the product code is completed. For example, the character string obtained as the conversion result in step S103 may be a single character. That is, the character string of the conversion result may be a partial character string of the product code.

  Subsequently, the product search unit 13 adds the conversion result character string to the end of the search character string (S104). Note that the search character string is empty at the start of step S102. Therefore, when step S104 is executed for the first time, the conversion result character string constitutes the entire search character string.

  Subsequently, the product search unit 13 searches the product information storage unit 21 for product information including a product code that matches the search character string (S105). That is, a product code that includes the search character string as a part from the beginning or a product code that completely matches the search character string is searched.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the product information storage unit. In FIG. 6, the product information storage unit 21 stores a quantity, a storage deadline, an area, a latitude, a longitude, and the like for each product code.

  The quantity is the quantity of the product related to the product code. The storage deadline is a deadline for storing the product in the warehouse. The area is an area where the product is stored in the warehouse. The area is, for example, an area formed by dividing the warehouse by a predetermined method. The latitude and longitude are the latitude and longitude of the area where the product is stored.

  Subsequently, the first condition determination unit 14 determines whether or not the search result satisfies the first condition (S106). The first condition is, for example, that a set of positions specified based on the latitude and longitude of each product information included in the search result is within a predetermined range from the current position of the wireless terminal 10. . Therefore, the first condition is not satisfied when the distribution of the positions is dispersed beyond the direction of the predetermined range.

  If the first condition is not satisfied (No in S107), Step S103 and subsequent steps are repeated. By repeating step S103 and subsequent steps, the user reads out the product code, and as a result, the product information to be searched is gradually narrowed down. That is, the search for merchandise information is sequentially executed in response to sequential voice input. In other words, the search for product information is sequentially executed in parallel with the reading of the product code.

  When the search result of the product information is narrowed down to satisfy the first condition (Yes in S107), the search result output unit 16 causes the display device 106 to display a screen indicating the position of the product related to the product information of the search result ( S108).

  Subsequently, when the voice input is continued for the product code of the first product, that is, when the reading of one product code started to be read in step S103 is continued (Yes in S109), step S103. Processes similar to S105 and S108 are repeated (S110 to S113). Note that whether or not the voice input of the product code of the first product is continued may be determined according to, for example, an operation by the user. For example, the user may perform an operation indicating the start or end of reading on the wireless terminal 10 at the start and end of reading of each product code.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the processing content when searching for the first product. In FIG. 7, it is assumed that the product code “ISV02-5346” is a search target.

  In FIG. 7, (1) shows a search result at the time when the user utters up to “yes” (ie, “IS”). In the rectangle indicating the floor plan, ellipses E1 to E3 indicate positions (areas) indicated by the latitude and longitude of the product information of the search result. In the following, the position indicated by the latitude and longitude of the product information is simply referred to as “position indicated by the product information”.

  At the time of (1), the product direction of the search result is dispersed. Therefore, at this time, the first condition is not satisfied and the position of the product is not displayed.

  (2) shows a search result at the time when the user speaks up to “Aisubi” (ie, “ISV”). At the time of (2), products belonging to the area of the ellipse E3 are not included in the search results. As a result, the product direction of the search result is within the predetermined range. Accordingly, the screen 510 is displayed at the time (2). As a result, the user can start moving in the direction indicated by the arrow a1, for example.

  (3) shows the search result at the time when the user speaks up to “Aizu Betsuro ni” (ie, “ISV02”). At the time of (3), the products belonging to the area of the ellipse E1 are not included in the search results. As a result, the position of the product as a search result is limited to one or more areas indicated by the ellipse E2.

  Note that display of the screen 510 may be started before the first condition is satisfied. That is, the position of the product may be displayed at the time (1). In this case, the user may start moving when it is determined that the moving direction has been specified to some extent. However, by causing the screen 510 to be automatically displayed at the timing when the first condition is satisfied, the possibility that the burden of thinking work for such a determination is imposed on the user may be reduced. it can.

  When the reading of the first product code is completed and the voice input is interrupted (No in S109 or No in S114), the wireless terminal 10 waits for voice input (FIG. 5: S121). On the other hand, the user starts reading the next product code while moving in the direction of the first product. That is, in this embodiment, in order to improve work efficiency, in the process of moving to the position of the first product, the user can read the product code of the next product in order to know the position of the next product. Assumed.

  When voice input of the next product code is detected (Yes in S122), processing similar to steps S102 to S105 is executed to search for product information corresponding to the voice input (S123 to S126).

  Subsequently, the second condition determination unit 15 determines the presence or absence of product information that satisfies the second condition among the product information included in the search result in step S126 (S127). That is, it is determined whether or not the search result includes product information of a product arranged in substantially the same direction as the previous search target product. Note that the determination in step S127 is performed with reference to the second condition storage unit 17.

  When the product information that satisfies the second condition is not included in the search result (No in S128), the process is stopped for the product currently being searched. In this case, the wireless terminal 10 waits for voice input for the product code of the next product, that is, the product code of the third and subsequent products (S121).

  On the other hand, when the product information satisfying the second condition is included in the search result (Yes in S128), the search result output unit 16 displays the screen 510 indicating the position of the product related to the product information of the search result on the display device 106. (S129). At this time, the position of the product related to the product information of the search result is displayed on the screen 510 together with the position of the first product.

  Subsequently, when the voice input is continued, that is, when the reading of the one product code that has been read out in step S121 is continued (Yes in S130), steps S124 to S129 are repeated. When the reading of the product code is completed (No in S130), the wireless terminal 10 waits for voice input for the product code of the next product (S121).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the processing contents when searching for the second and subsequent products. In FIG. 8, it is assumed that the product code “ISV02-5346” is a search target.

  In FIG. 8, (4) shows the display state of the screen 510 when the user completely reads out the product code (“ISV02-5346”) of the first product. In this state, the position of the product is specified at the position indicated by the mark M1. However, when the product code of the first product is read halfway, the search for the second and subsequent products may be started.

  (5) shows the display state of the screen 510 when the user reads the product code of the second product halfway (until “SCOT”). Ellipses E4 and E5 indicate positions (areas) indicated by the product information whose product code matches “SCOT”. The directions of the ellipses E4 and E5 are substantially opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow a1. Therefore, at this point, the search for the second product is interrupted.

  (6) shows the display state of the screen 510 when the user reads out the product code of the third product halfway (to “OSS”). Ellipses E6 and E7 indicate the positions (areas) indicated by the product information whose product code coincides with “OSS”. Of the ellipses E6 and E7, the ellipse E7 approximates the direction indicated by the arrow a1 when viewed from the current position. That is, the product information related to the ellipse E7 satisfies the second condition. Therefore, the reading of the third product code is continued, and when the product related to the product code belongs to the area included in the ellipse E7, a mark indicating the position of the product is displayed.

  Next, details of the first condition will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of the first condition.

  In (1) and (2) of FIG. 9, circles c1 to c3 are sets of positions indicated by the product information of the search results. FIG. 9 shows an example in which the first condition is defined that the distribution of the position indicated by the product information of the search result falls within an angle equal to or smaller than the threshold α with the current position as the center. In FIG. 9, the state (1) satisfies the first condition, and the state (2) does not satisfy the first condition.

  When the first condition is defined in this way, in step S106 in FIG. 4, the first condition determination unit 14 executes a processing procedure as shown in FIG. 10, for example.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the processing procedure of the determination process of the first condition.

  In step S201, the first condition determination unit 14 selects one product information included in the search result in step S105 as a processing target. The selected product information is hereinafter referred to as “target product information”.

  Subsequently, the first condition determination unit 14 calculates an absolute angle between the position indicated by the target product information and the current position indicated by the position information acquired in step S102. The first condition determination unit 14 stores the calculation result in the memory device 103 (S202). Here, the absolute angle means an angle with respect to the absolute axis as shown in (2) of FIG. The absolute axis is an axis extending in a predetermined direction from the current position, for example, true north of the current position.

  The first condition determination unit 14 executes steps S201 and S202 for all product information included in the search results (S203, S204). When the execution of steps S201 and S202 is completed for all the product information included in the search result (Yes in S203), the first condition determination unit 14 determines the largest of the absolute angles stored in the memory device 103. An angle θ obtained by subtracting the minimum absolute angle from the absolute angle is calculated (S205).

  Subsequently, the first condition determination unit 14 determines whether or not the angle θ is equal to or less than the threshold value α (S206). When the angle θ is equal to or less than the threshold value α (Yes in S206), the first condition determination unit 14 determines that the first condition is satisfied (S207). When the angle θ exceeds the threshold value α (No in S206), the first condition determination unit 14 determines that the first condition is not satisfied (S207).

  The determination of the first condition may be performed with different logic.

  Next, details of the second condition will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an example of the second condition.

  In the present embodiment, the second condition changes according to the distance between the current position and the position of the first product. That is, it is defined as the second condition that the angle of the direction from the current position to the position indicated by the product information with respect to the direction of the first product from the current position is within the angle range corresponding to the distance. . In FIG. 11, a circle c4 indicates the position of the first product. Circles c5 and c6 indicate the positions of the second and subsequent products.

  In FIG. 11, the distance from the current position to the position of the first product is 10 m. The angle with respect to 10 m is stored as ± 15 degrees in the second condition storage unit 17. +15 degrees is an angle in a clockwise direction. -15 degrees is an angle in the counterclockwise direction. Accordingly, it is determined that the product information related to the product located within a range of ± 15 degrees centering on the current position with respect to the direction of the first product from the current position satisfies the second condition. In the example of FIG. 11, the circle c5 satisfies the second condition, and the circle c6 does not satisfy the second condition.

  When the second condition is defined in this way, in step S127 in FIG. 5, the second condition determination unit 15 executes a processing procedure as shown in FIG. 12, for example.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the processing procedure of the determination process of the second condition.

  In step S301, the second condition determination unit 15 selects one piece of product information included in the search result in step S126 as a processing target. The selected product information is hereinafter referred to as “target product information”.

  Subsequently, the second condition determination unit 15 calculates the distance between the position indicated by the product information of the first product and the current position indicated by the position information acquired in step S123 (S302). The first product information is stored in the memory device 103 in step S108 or S112, for example. When searching for the first product, if the search for the first product is interrupted before the search result is narrowed down to one, the product information stored in the memory device 103 regarding the search for the first product. Is a plurality. In this case, the center of gravity of the set of positions indicated by the plurality of product information may be the position of the first product.

  Subsequently, the second condition determination unit 15 acquires an angle corresponding to the calculated distance from the second condition storage unit 17 (S303).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the second condition storage unit. In FIG. 13, the second condition storage unit 17 stores an angle in association with the distance range. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the angle of the record that applies to the distance calculated in step S302 is acquired. Hereinafter, the acquired angle is referred to as “angle β”. Note that the second condition storage unit 17 may be included in the server device 20. The second condition determination unit 15 may download information stored in the second condition storage unit 17 from the server device 20.

  Subsequently, the second condition determination unit 15 calculates an angle θ with respect to the direction of the first product from the current position in the direction indicated by the target product information from the current position (S304). Subsequently, the second condition determination unit 15 determines whether or not the angle θ is equal to or less than the angle β (S305).

  Steps S304 and S305 are executed in order for the product information included in the search results (S306, S307). In the process in which steps S304 and S305 are sequentially executed, if it is determined that the angle θ is equal to or smaller than the angle β (Yes in S305), the second condition determination unit 15 has product information that satisfies the second condition. Determination is made (S306). On the other hand, when there is no product information determined that the angle θ is equal to or less than the angle β (No in S306), the second condition determination unit 15 determines that there is no product information that satisfies the second condition (S309).

  Note that the determination of the second condition may be performed by other logic.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the position of a product including the read character string in the product code can be presented before one product code is completely read out. Therefore, it is possible to increase the possibility that the user can start moving when the user reads the product code halfway. As a result, it is possible to improve the efficiency of taking out the product.

  Note that the product code to be searched may not be limited to the one that matches forward with the read character string. A product code including the character string from the middle may be searched. For example, when the first few digits of the product code of each product are common, the product information may be retrieved more quickly by reading out the portion excluding the several digits.

  In addition, among the second and subsequent products, the position of the product whose direction is similar to that of the first product is presented. As a result, the user can grasp the position of any of the second and subsequent products in the process of moving in the direction of the first product. Also from this aspect, it is possible to improve the efficiency of taking out the product.

  Note that the first product may not strictly be the first product for which the search has been started. For example, if there is no product information that satisfies the second condition in the second and subsequent product information, the user takes out the first product and then instructs the wireless terminal to start the process of FIG. 4 again. 10 may be entered. In this case, the processing of FIGS. 4 and 5 is executed with the second product as the first product.

  Moreover, this Embodiment may be applied with respect to the taking-out operation | work of articles other than the goods in a warehouse.

  The processing executed by the product search unit 13, the first condition determination unit 14, and the second condition determination unit 15 may be performed in the server device 20. In other words, these units may be included in the server device 20.

  In the present embodiment, the wireless terminal 10 is an example of an information output device. The voice recognition unit 12 is an example of a conversion unit. The product search unit 13 is an example of a search unit. The search result output unit 16 is an example of an output unit.

  As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to such specific embodiment, In the range of the summary of this invention described in the claim, various deformation | transformation・ Change is possible.
