Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The present embodiment is an information recording card (information recording device) 1 that transmits information by wireless communication when a user presses an arbitrary button according to the contents of an explanatory note, and FIG. 1 is an external view thereof. is there. The information recording apparatus 1 of FIG. 1 is a foldable type, and when expanded, an information input surface 2 as shown in FIG. 2 appears.

A medicine (tablet) 5 to be taken is arranged, and a selection button for inputting the degree of the patient's symptom is arranged on the third surface 2c. The back surface side of the first surface 2a is a surface described as "information recording card" in FIG.

  On the third surface 2c, a plurality of symptoms related to the utility of the medicine are described. In the example of FIG. 2, (1) Symptom 1, (2) Symptom 2, (3) Symptom 3, (4) Symptom 4 and (5) Symptom 5 are described in total, and for each symptom, One can be selected from three levels (severe, moderate, and mild). First, the user presses one of the first button rows 6 including the selection buttons 6a to 6e corresponding to the five types of symptoms, selects a specific symptom, and subsequently corresponds to the degree of the symptom. One of the second button rows 7 including the selection buttons 7a to 7c is pressed. Thereby, the user can input the degree of specific symptoms after taking the medicine. The user does not necessarily have to answer all five types of symptoms, and may answer only some of the symptoms.

  The selection buttons 6 a to 6 e constituting the first button row 6 are arranged along the X direction in FIG. 2, and the selection buttons constituting the second button row 7 are substantially parallel to the first button row 6 in the Y direction. Are arranged over a plurality of rows.

  In addition, the symptom described in the 3rd surface 2c and its degree are only an example to the last, and you may change arbitrarily with the kind of medicine.

  The user presses the start button 3 when starting to use the information recording apparatus 1. Thereafter, the user pushes the case 5a of the tablet 5 arranged on the second surface 2b with a finger, takes out the medicine from the lower surface side of the second surface 2b, and takes it. Then, the selection buttons 6 and 7 corresponding to the degree of symptoms after taking are pressed.

  Information of the start button 3, the cancel button 4, the case 5 a of the tablet 5, and the selection buttons 6, 7 pressed by the user is automatically stored in the communication module 10 built in the information recording apparatus 1. It has become.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the communication module 10 capable of wireless communication. The communication module 10 of FIG. 3 includes an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) 12 as an IC chip mounted on a resin substrate 11, a crystal resonator 13, a button battery 14, a speaker 15, and a resin substrate 11. It has a plurality of pads 16 formed along the long side, an antenna pattern 17a formed along the outer edge of the resin substrate 11, and a conductive pattern 17b formed on the resin substrate 11.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the ASIC 12. The ASIC 12 in FIG. 4 stores information on the start button 3, cancel button 4, each case 5 a of the tablet 5, and each selection button pressed by the user in time series together with time information, and presses the storage unit 21. It has the control part 22 which performs control which memorize | stores information, and the radio | wireless communication part 23 which performs radio | wireless communication between the host computers not shown.

  The memory | storage part 21 memorize | stores the information which specifies the button which the user pressed, and the time information when the button was pressed as a set. The cancel button 4 is intended to cancel the information of the pressed button immediately before the cancel button 4 is pressed. The host computer cancels the information of the button pressed immediately before the cancel button 4 when the storage unit 21 stores information specifying the press of the cancel button 4 and time information when the button is pressed. .

  The wireless communication unit 23 performs so-called NFC (Near Field Communication) with the host computer to send and receive information. The method and frequency band used by the wireless communication unit 23 for wireless communication are not particularly limited. For example, wireless communication is performed using a wireless method based on ISO 14443 in a 13.56 MHz band.

  In NFC, power can be transmitted and received according to the standard, so that it is possible in principle to drive the communication module 10 without a battery. However, the communication module 10 of the present embodiment also includes a speaker 15, and the button battery 14 is mounted because the power consumption is relatively large.

  Next, a specific structure of the information recording apparatus 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The information recording apparatus 1 described above has a three-layer structure in which a single paper substrate is folded into three equal parts in the vertical direction, and an information input surface 2 shown in FIG. 2 appears on the surface. When this is further divided into three equal parts along a folding line 64 described later, the structure shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. Below, the conductive pattern formed on one original paper substrate will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a developed view of the paper substrate 30 that is the basis of the information recording apparatus 1. Each of the divided substrates 30a, 30b, 30c obtained by dividing the paper substrate 30 of FIG. 5 into three equal parts by the fold lines 61 extending in the vertical direction is provided with different conductive patterns 18, cutouts, and the like. Note that these three divided substrates 30a to 30c are foldable at a fold 61 and are not physically separated. Of the divided substrates 30a, 30b, and 30c, the lowermost divided substrate 30b has a folding line 64, and the divided substrate 30b is folded into three equal parts via two folding lines 64 extending in the lateral direction. . In FIG. 5, each of the divided substrates 30b is provided with two single folding lines 64, but a pair of parallel folding lines 64, 64 may be provided instead of the single folding line 64 ( (See FIG. 8).

  The central divided substrate 30b in FIG. 5 is the lowermost substrate 30b that is disposed in the lowermost layer and on which the conductive pattern 18 is formed. The divided substrate 30c on the right side is an intermediate layer substrate 30c that mainly has a notch 62 and a perforation 63 and is disposed on the lowermost layer substrate 30b. The divided substrate 30a on the left side of the lowermost substrate 30b is the uppermost substrate 30a having the conductive pattern 38 for conducting / cutting off the switch contacts and disposed on the intermediate layer substrate 30c.

  As will be described later, after the intermediate layer substrate 30c is folded and thermocompression bonded to the lowermost layer substrate 30b divided into three equal parts, a molded sheet containing the tablet 5 is placed thereon, and the uppermost layer substrate 30a is folded and heated. The structure of FIG. 2 is obtained by pressure bonding. Therefore, the back side of the uppermost substrate 30a shown in FIG. 5 becomes the information input surface 2 shown in FIG.

  Before folding and thermocompression bonding the intermediate layer substrate 30c on the lowermost layer substrate 30b, the communication module 10 is joined to the lowermost layer substrate 30b, and the uppermost layer substrate 30a is thermocompression bonded thereon. As described above, the communication module 10 is sandwiched between the lowermost substrate 30b and the uppermost substrate 30a. Thereby, the conductive pattern 18 and the communication module 10 formed on the surface of the lowermost substrate 30b do not appear in appearance when the information recording apparatus 1 is completed. Similarly, since the conductive pattern on the uppermost substrate 30a is folded on the intermediate substrate 30c and thermocompression bonded, it does not appear in appearance.

  Next, the conductive pattern 18 formed on the surface of the lowermost substrate 30b will be described with reference to FIG. The conductive pattern 18 of FIG. 5 has first to third pattern surfaces 30b1 to 30b3 corresponding to the information input surface 2 composed of the first to third surfaces 2a to 2c divided into three equal parts.

  The first pattern surface 30b1 has a switch contact 31 corresponding to the start button 3 and a switch contact 32 corresponding to the cancel button 4. The second pattern surface 30 b 2 has a total of six switch contacts 33 corresponding to each case 5 a of the tablet 5. The third pattern surface 30b3 has a total of 15 switch contacts 34 to 37 corresponding to the selection buttons for selecting the patient's symptoms and the degree of the symptoms.

  Among these switch contacts 31 to 37, a total of six switch contacts 33 corresponding to each case 5a of the tablet 5 are conductive in the initial state, and all other switch contacts 31, 32, and 34 to 37 are in the initial state. It is blocked by.

  The switch contact 33 corresponding to each case 5a of the tablet 5 is physically broken when the case 5a is pressed to take out the tablet 5, and the electrical conduction is interrupted. The other switch contacts 31, 32, 34 to 37 are pressed when the corresponding button is pressed and the circular conductive pattern 38 provided on the back side of the information input surface 2 contacts the corresponding switch contact. Conducts temporarily only during the period.

  As described above, some of the switch contacts 31 to 37 are electrically conductive in the initial state and some are electrically disconnected. The state of the switch contact can be switched by physically breaking each switch contact or bringing another switch into contact with each switch contact.

  One end of each of the switch contacts 31 to 37 shown in FIG. 5 is connected to the corresponding terminal of the terminal portion 39 on the first pattern surface 30b1 via the conductive pattern 18, and the other end is grounded via the conductive pattern 18. Connected to the terminal. The terminal portion 39 is provided with terminals for the total number of switch contacts, and in addition to this, ground terminals are provided on both ends of the terminal portion 39. A conductive pattern (hereinafter referred to as ground pattern 18a) extending from the ground terminal is formed so as to surround other conductive patterns and switch contacts along the outer edge of the first to third pattern surfaces 30b3.

  The ground pattern 18a is formed thicker than other conductive patterns in order to reduce noise.

  Here, the conductive circuit 18A is constituted by the conductive pattern 18 and the ground pattern 18a described above. A terminal portion 39 is connected to the conductive circuit 18A. Further, the circuit board 70 before the communication module 10 is joined is constituted by the paper board 30 and the conductive circuit 18 </ b> A formed on the paper board 30.

  Thus, all switch contacts are connected between the corresponding terminals and the ground pattern 18a. Therefore, when the state of any switch contact changes, the changed information is transmitted to the communication module 10 via the dedicated terminal. The storage unit 21 in the communication module 10 stores information for specifying a switch contact whose contact state has changed, that is, information for specifying a pressed selection button or breakage position, and time information when the contact state has changed. To do.

  The switch contacts on the third pattern surface 30b3 are arranged along the Y direction substantially parallel to the first button row and the first switch contact row 34 corresponding to the first button row arranged along the X direction. Are grouped into a plurality of second switch contact rows 35 to 37 corresponding to the plurality of second button rows.

  One end side of each of the five switch contacts in each of the second switch contact rows 35 to 37 is connected to a common terminal, and the other end side is connected to a ground terminal. These five switch contacts Are connected in parallel. In the example of FIG. 5, a total of three second switch contact rows 35 to 37 in which a total of five switch contacts are connected in parallel are provided.

  Even if the state of any switch contact in each of the switch contact rows 35 to 37 connected in parallel is changed, the state change information is transmitted to the communication module 10 through the same terminal. Whether the contact has changed cannot be identified by the information alone. Therefore, in this embodiment, by changing the state of the switch contacts in the first switch contact row 34 before changing the state of the switch contacts in the second switch contact row 35 to 37, a rule is formed. It is specified which switch contact in the second switch contact train 35-37 has changed.

  More specifically, first, the state of any one of the switch contacts in the first switch contact row 34 is changed, and the X-direction position of this switch contact is detected. Then, a total of three switch contacts in the second switch contact rows 35 to 37 at the same position in the X direction are determined as selection candidates. Next, if any of these three switch contacts changes in status, information on the switch contacts is transmitted to the communication module 10.

  In this way, by combining the state change information of the switch contacts in the first switch contact row 34 and the state change information of the switch contacts in the second switch contact row 35 to 37, the second switch contact rows 35 to 37 are combined. The state of a specific switch contact can be correctly transmitted to the communication module 10.

Connecting a plurality of switch contacts in parallel and connecting one end side to a common terminal can reduce the total number of terminals and the number of conductive patterns 18 in the terminal portion 39, so that the pattern area is particularly limited. It is effective for. Even if a plurality of switch contacts in the second switch contact rows 35 to 37 are connected in parallel, the state is combined with the state of the switch contacts in the first switch contact row 34 arranged in parallel with the second switch contact rows 35 to 37. Thus, since the state of the specific switch contact in the second switch contact train 35-37 can be specified accurately, there is no practical problem.
As described above, the information recording apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes the cancel button 4 for canceling the previous button operation in addition to the start button 3 and various selection buttons. Is not transmitted to the communication module 10 without revocation information, and the reliability of information transmitted to the communication module 10 and the host computer is improved.

  By the way, among the divided substrates 30a, 30b, and 30c, the divided substrate 30b is folded into three equal parts through the folding lines 64 extending in the lateral direction as described above.

  The lowermost substrate 30b is provided with a conductive circuit 18A composed of the conductive pattern 18 and the ground pattern 18a. Further, in order to prevent the conductive circuit 18A from being broken or damaged even when the lowermost layer substrate 30b is repeatedly bent via the folding line 64, the flexible circuit connector 80A, 80B is provided.

  Specifically, the lowermost substrate 30b is folded into three equal parts via two folding lines 64 extending in the lateral direction. In this case, the lowermost substrate 30b is divided into the first substrate by the two folding curves 64. 91, a second substrate 92, and a third substrate 95, and a flexible circuit connector 80A is provided across the folding line 64 between the first substrate 91 and the second substrate 92. A flexible circuit connector 80 </ b> B is provided between the substrate 95 and the folding line 64.

  Since the flexible circuit connectors 80A and 80B have substantially the same structure, the flexible circuit connector 80A will be described here with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the conductive circuit on the first substrate 91 in the conductive circuit 18A is a first conductive circuit 93, and the conductive circuit on the second substrate 92 is the second conductive circuit 94. It has become.

  The flexible circuit connector 80A is provided across the folding line 64 between the first substrate 91 and the second substrate 92 connected via the folding line 64 in the lowermost substrate 30b. The first conductive circuit 93 is connected to the second conductive circuit 94 on the second substrate 92 side. In this case, the first conductive circuit 93 on the first substrate 91 and the second conductive circuit 94 on the second substrate 92 are separated from each other, and are only brought into conduction by providing the flexible circuit connector 80A. However, even when the flexible circuit connector 80A is not provided, the first conductive circuit 93 on the first substrate 91 and the second conductive circuit 94 on the second substrate 92 may be connected. In this case, the flexible circuit connector 80A functions as a backup circuit when the first conductive circuit 93 and the second conductive circuit 94 are disconnected.

  Next, the flexible circuit connector 80A will be further described.

  As shown in FIGS. 5, 6 </ b> A, and 6 </ b> B, the flexible circuit connector 80 </ b> A includes an insulating base material 81, a one-side terminal portion 83 provided on one side of the insulating base material 81, and an insulating base material 81. Other side terminal portions 84 provided on the other side, and a plurality of conductive portions (conductive ink) 82 connecting these one side terminal portions 83 and the other side terminal portions 84 are provided.

  In this case, the conductive portion 82 extends linearly from the one-side terminal portion 83 to the other-side terminal portion 84.

  On the one-side terminal portion 83 and the other-side terminal portion 84, an anisotropic conductive adhesive 87 that exhibits anisotropic conductive performance during heat sealing is provided.

  Incidentally, the one-side terminal portion 83 is a terminal portion connected to the first conductive circuit 93 on the first substrate 91, and the other-side terminal portion 84 is a terminal connected to the second conductive circuit 94 on the second substrate 92. Part.

An insulating layer 88 made of acrylic is provided to expose 87 and cover the conductive portion 82.

  The material of the insulating layer 88 is not particularly limited, and materials such as vinyl and rubber can be used. Moreover, as shown to FIG. 7A, the thing made from an anisotropic conductive adhesive can also be used as the insulating layer 88 of the flexible circuit connector 80. FIG.

  In FIG. 7, by printing the same anisotropic conductive adhesive on the conductive portion 82, the anisotropic conductive performance manifestation portion 87 a that is made of an anisotropic conductive adhesive and that is intended to exhibit anisotropic conductive performance; The insulating layer 88 made of an anisotropic conductive adhesive that does not exhibit anisotropic conductive performance can be formed at the same time, and the production efficiency can be improved.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the flexible circuit connector 80A is heat-sealed to the first conductive circuit 93 or the second conductive circuit 94, the anisotropic conductive performance expected portion 87a made of an anisotropic conductive adhesive is heat-sealed. It changes to the anisotropic conductive performance expression part 87b which expresses anisotropic conductive performance. In FIG. 7, the insulating layer 88 is made of an anisotropic conductive adhesive, but does not exhibit anisotropic conductive performance.

  The insulating base material 81 of the flexible circuit connector 80 is made of a flexible base material such as a base material made of polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate.

Thus, even when the lowermost substrate 30b is repeatedly bent or expanded through the folding line 64, the flexible circuit connector 80A does not break. As a result, the first conductive circuit 93 and the second conductive circuit 93 can be stably and constantly not broken or damaged between the first conductive circuit 93 of the first substrate 91 and the second conductive circuit 94 of the second substrate 92. Conduction with the conductive circuit 94 can be obtained.

  Next, the paper substrate 30 will be further described with reference to FIG. Among the paper substrates 30, the intermediate layer substrate 30c functions as a spacer that separates the conductive circuit 18A of the lowermost substrate 30b and the conductive pattern 38 of the uppermost substrate 30a. Therefore, by providing the intermediate layer substrate 30c, it is not necessary to emboss the conductive pattern 38 in the vicinity of the uppermost layer substrate 30a to retract the conductive pattern 38, and various buttons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 can be When pressed, only the various contacts 31 to 37 of the conductive circuit 18A corresponding to the pressed button can be reliably conducted.

A state in which the substrates 103, 104, and 105 are overlapped with each other via 101 is not affected by a restoring force, and the overlapped state can be reliably maintained.

  That is, when the uppermost substrate 30a is folded into three via a folding line, the folded substrate is restored to its original state by the restoring force and tries to return to the original state (expanded state). . On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the uppermost substrate 30a has the three substrates 103, 104, 105 separated via the two first cutout portions 101, and these substrates 103, 104, Since 105 are overlapped with each other via the first cutout portion 101, no restoring force acts on the substrates 103, 104, and 105, and the overlapped state can be reliably maintained.

  Similarly, the intermediate layer substrate 30 c is separated into three substrates 106, 107, and 108 via two second cutout portions 102, and the three substrates 106, 107, and 108 overlap each other via the second cutout portion 102. Can be done.
