Furthermore, it is good to provide the communication apparatus 4j connected with another apparatus. For example, a BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) module, a USB port, an infrared port, or the like is not particularly limited as long as it can transmit and receive data regardless of wired wireless communication.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the software 40 to be executed by the mobile terminal 4 is roughly a data output unit 41 that outputs the first received data received from the temperature measuring device 2 to the output device 4b, and the received data etc. to the network adapter 4f.

The data transfer unit 42 measures the position information by the position information acquisition device 4g when receiving the first received data, and assigns the measured position information to the first received data and transfers it to the server 3 as the second received data.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the temperature measuring device 2 is roughly a processing device 2a that processes temperature data, a display device 2b that displays temperature data, and a delivery button that is operated when delivering a transported object at a transport destination. 2c and a housing 2d for holding them. As shown in FIG. 4A, the display device 2b is attached so as to be exposed on the outer surface of the housing 2d, so that it is easy to present the transport status to the recipient at the time of delivery.

  In addition, a plurality of warning units 2e1 to 2e4 that indicate the status of the temperature measurement device 2 and various operation buttons 2f1 to 2f3 are arranged in the housing 2d. The warning units 2e1 to 2e4 display, for example, a temperature monitoring status, a battery remaining status, a connection status with the mobile terminal 4, an error occurrence status, and the like by blinking and lighting LEDs. The operation buttons 2f1 to 2f3 are buttons for performing on / off of the display device 2b, start / stop of temperature measurement, and switching of the display format, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the hardware configuration of the temperature measuring device 2 is roughly a processing device 2a for executing software 20 described later, a display device 2b, an input / output device 2g such as various buttons, and temperature data output to the outside ( A temperature sensor 2j including a communication device 2h, a power supply device 2i, and a thermocouple.

The communication device 2h is not particularly limited as long as it can transmit and receive data regardless of wired wireless, such as a BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) module, a USB port, or an infrared port.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the software 20 executed by the processing device 2a is roughly determined by the determination unit 21 that determines whether or not the temperature data is a normal value, and the temperature data when the temperature data is displayed on the display device 2b. And a display data output unit 23 for outputting to the display device 2b. In addition, a data transmission unit 24 that transmits temperature data measured by the temperature sensor 2j and determination data (first reception data) in the determination unit 21 as to whether or not the temperature data is normal, and an operation button A display switching unit 25 that switches the display format of the display device 2b by the operation 2f is further provided.

  For each delivery period DT of each transport destination, the determination unit 21 has normal temperature data measured within the delivery period DT and after the operation time B (hereinafter simply referred to as “operation time B”) of the delivery button 2c. When there is temperature data that is a normal value, there is a delivery period adjustment unit 21a that uses the measurement time of the temperature data that is a normal value as the end time of the delivery period DT.

  The display data output unit 23 includes a graph generation unit 23a that generates a transition graph indicating the transition of temperature data from the start of transport to the operation time when the delivery button 2c is operated at the current transport destination. The graph generation unit 23a generates a correction transition graph based on the correction temperature data.

Here, determination of temperature data and transmission to the mobile terminal 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. In addition, a vertical axis | shaft shows temperature (degreeC) and a horizontal axis shows time (minutes).
The management temperature upper limit value Tmax and the management temperature lower limit value Tmin are set by the temperature measuring device 2 itself or the setting unit 43 of the mobile terminal 4 according to the conveyed product M at the start of conveyance. The temperature sensor 2j usually measures the temperature in the container 5 at a predetermined measurement interval t (for example, 1 minute, 10 minutes, etc.). Then, the determination unit 21 determines that the temperature data that exceeds the management temperature upper limit value Tmax or falls below the management temperature lower limit value Tmin, that is, the temperature data that is outside the management temperature range A is not a normal value (abnormal).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, the determination unit 21 counts the number of times the temperature data is not continuously normal. When the count number S continues for a predetermined number of times (three times in the figure), the data transmission unit 24 transmits the temperature data and the abnormality determination result to the mobile terminal 4 (symbol q). After executing the abnormality notification of the data transmission unit 24, the determination unit 21 resets the count number S. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the determination unit 21 also resets the count number S when normal temperature data is measured.

  In this way, the data transmission unit 24 transmits temperature data to the mobile terminal 4 and notifies abnormality when temperature data that is not normal is measured for a predetermined number of times. With this abnormality notification, the conveyance state (temperature) during conveyance of the conveyed product M accommodated in the container 5 can be monitored (understood).

Next, correction of temperature data will be described with reference to FIGS.
As described above, the temperature measuring device 2 according to the present invention is housed in a single container 5 so as to be able to be taken out together with the medicines m1 to m3 transported (delivered) to a plurality of transport destinations P1 to P3. It is taken out from the container 5 together with the drugs m1 to m3 at the time of delivery. Therefore, the temperature measuring device 2 does not measure the internal temperature of the container 5 at the time of delivery. Therefore, in the example of conveyance shown in FIG. 1 as shown in FIG. 6A, the temperature data is outside the control temperature range A at each delivery of the conveyance destinations P1 to P3. However, it is obvious that this temperature abnormality is caused by taking out the medicine and the temperature measuring device 2 for delivery. Since the container 5 is immediately sealed at the time of delivery, the temperature change in the container 5 is also changed. It is suppressed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6B, the present invention corrects the measured temperature during each delivery period DT1 to DT3 where the cause of the temperature abnormality is obvious, thereby enabling conveyance to a plurality of conveyance destinations. And ensure the reliability of the monitoring results of the conveyance status.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the correction unit 22 sets a predetermined time before the operation time B when the delivery button 2c is operated as a first-term delivery period dta and a predetermined time after the operation time B as a late-delivery period dtb. The delivery period DT before and after the operation time B is set together. The temperature data during the delivery period DT becomes correction target data. This setting is performed when the delivery button 2c is operated, that is, for each of the current transport destination and the transport destination that has already been transported. In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the operation is performed for the operation times B1 to B3 of the delivery button 2c three times at the current transport destination P3 and the transport destinations P1 and P2 that have already been transported.

  When correcting the temperature data during the delivery period DT, first, the previous determination unit 21 determines whether or not the temperature data measured at the measurement time mt1 immediately before the start time st of the delivery period DT is a normal value. . As shown in FIG. 8A, when the temperature data measured at the immediately preceding measurement time mt1 is a normal value, the correction unit 22 corrects the temperature data within the delivery period DT immediately after that to the normal value, thereby correcting the temperature data. Is generated. In the example shown in the figure, the temperature data within the delivery period DT is regarded as the measurement value at the immediately preceding measurement time mt1 and corrected to that value. Without the “delivery” process, the temperature (measurement data) during the period corresponding to the delivery period DT is considered to be substantially constant and stable. Therefore, in the present embodiment, correction is performed using the normal value measured at the measurement time mt1 so as to reproduce the normal conveyance state.

  8B differs from FIG. 8A in that the temperature data measured at the start time st of the delivery period DT is a normal value. In such a case, the temperature data measured at the start time st is not corrected, but the temperature data in the subsequent delivery period DT is corrected. In the example shown in the figure, the temperature data in the delivery period DT after the temperature data measured at the start time st is corrected to the measured value at the start time st. As described above, the temperature data indicating the normal value continuously from the start time st may be displayed without correction.

  Further, the example shown in FIG. 8C differs from FIGS. 8A and 8B in that the temperature data measured at the measurement time mt3 immediately before the end time ft of the delivery period DT is a normal value. In this case, the delivery period adjustment unit 21a shortens the delivery period DT with the measurement time mt3 as the end time ft 'of the shortened delivery period DT'. Then, the abnormal temperature data in the shortened delivery period DT 'is corrected to the measurement value at the measurement time mt1 immediately before the start time st of the shortened delivery period DT'. This adjustment of the delivery period can be executed when the temperature data in the later delivery period dtb after the operation time B includes normal temperature data. By shortening the delivery period DT, the time for temperature monitoring can be lengthened and the monitoring accuracy can be improved. For example, as shown by a broken line G0 'in the figure, when an abnormal value continues immediately after the measurement time mt3, it is possible to notify the abnormality earlier.

Next, taking the conveyance of FIG. 1 as an example, the procedure from loading of the conveyed product M to completion of delivery will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the warehouse which is the transfer start point P0, the drugs m1 to m3 of the transfer destinations P1 to P3 are accommodated in the container 5 together with the temperature measuring device 2 and loaded on the transfer vehicle C (S1). At this time, temperature measurement is started by operating the operation button 2f2 of the temperature measuring device 2, for example.

  During the transfer (S2), as shown in FIG. 10, the operation of the delivery button 2c is confirmed (S21), and if it is not operated, a predetermined measurement interval (n minutes) elapses (S22). Then, the temperature in the container 5 (conveyed object) is measured (S23). If a predetermined communication interval (m minutes) has elapsed (S24), the data transmission unit 24 transmits temperature data for that period to the mobile terminal 4 (S25). On the other hand, if the communication interval (m minutes) has not elapsed, the determination unit 21 determines whether the temperature is normal (S26) and whether the temperature is continuous for a predetermined number of times (h times) (S27). If not normal, temperature data and determination data are transmitted (S28). When the delivery button 2c is operated, if it is the first time, the process of the first transport destination (S3) is executed, and if it is not the first time, the process of the other transport destination (S6) is executed.

  When arriving at the first transport destination P1, the medicine m1 and the temperature measuring device 2 are taken out from the container 5 and delivered to the recipient of the first transport destination P1 (S3). At this time, all temperature data and position information are transmitted to the server 3 through the mobile terminal 4 by operating the delivery button 2c. Since the temperature of the temperature measuring device 2 itself has not decreased at the beginning of temperature measurement, as shown in FIG. 6B, in the correction transition graph G1, the measured temperature data is initially within the management temperature range. It is good to display from time ft0.

  When there is another transport destination (S4), the measurement start button 2f2 of the temperature measuring device 2 is pushed, the temperature measuring device 2 is accommodated in the container 5 again, and the temperature measuring device 2 follows the flowchart shown in FIG. While monitoring the status of the medicines m1 to m3 in the container 5, they are transported to the next transport destination. During conveyance (S5), the same processing as described above is executed.

  When arriving at the second transport destination P2, the medicine m2 and the temperature measuring device 2 are taken out from the container 5 and delivered to the recipient of the second transport destination P2 (S6). Here, as shown in FIG. 11, each delivery period corresponding to the first and second transport destinations P <b> 1 and P <b> 2 is determined by the determination unit 21 and the correction unit 22 as described above by operating the delivery button 2 c for the second time. DT1 and DT2 are set and temperature data is corrected. Then, for example, the correction transition graph is output to the display device 2b of the temperature measurement device 2 by the graph generation unit 23a. Since the display device 2b is provided on the outer surface of the housing 2d, a graph can be presented to the recipient on the spot, and the reliability of the transport state can be secured. At this time, all temperature data and position information are transmitted to the server 3 through the mobile terminal 4 by operating the delivery button 2c. Here, for example, the display switching unit 25 may switch between the corrected transition graph G1 and the uncorrected original transition graph G0 by operating the display switching button 2f3.

  When there is another transport destination (S7), steps S5 and S6 are repeatedly executed. In the case of the final transport destination P3, the delivery periods DT1 to DT3 corresponding to the first to third transport destinations P1 to P3 are set and the temperature data is corrected as described above. Then, for example, the graph generation unit 23 a outputs a correction transition graph as shown in FIG. 6B to the display device 2 b of the temperature measuring device 2. In the example of the figure, at the current transport destination P3, the end time ft of the delivery period DT3 is set as the delivery button operation time B, and is corrected to the temperature data measured at the measurement time mt3 immediately before the start time of the delivery period DT3. Good. Then, for example, the temperature monitoring by the temperature measuring device 2 is completed by operating the mobile terminal 4. Finally, all temperature data and position information are transmitted to the server 3.

  In this way, by measuring the temperature in the container 5 in real time, the temperature status of the medicines m1 to m3 is monitored, so it is possible to always grasp the environment where the transported goods such as pharmaceuticals are placed. is there. Therefore, when the transported object is out of the management temperature for a certain period before delivery, the manager can in advance arrange for re-delivery of the transported object or instruct the transporter to stop the transport.

Finally, reference is made to the possibilities of other embodiments of the invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member similar to the above-mentioned embodiment.
In the above embodiment, the mobile terminal 4 is used as a means for acquiring position information and transferring temperature data, but it may be omitted. For example, the data may be transmitted directly from the temperature measuring device 2 to the server 3. Further, the mobile terminal 4 and the server 3 are omitted, and the temperature measuring device 2 is used alone, the measured temperature data is recorded in the temperature measuring device 2, and the measurement data is taken out through another recording medium. Also good. However, another means is required for acquiring the position information, and if the position information is omitted, the accuracy of the temperature history information is lowered, so the above-described embodiment is superior.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the correction transition graph was produced | generated by the graph production | generation part 23a, and it displayed on the display apparatus 2b. However, not only the display in the graph format but also the display in the table format or only the result (delivery availability) is possible.

  In the above embodiment, the correction unit 22 corrects the temperature data in the delivery period DT or the shortened delivery period DT ′ to the measurement value at the measurement time mt1 immediately before the start time st of these delivery periods. However, the correction method is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the value on the line segment connecting the measurement value at the measurement time mt1 immediately before the delivery period DT and the measurement value at the measurement time mt2 immediately after the end time ft of the delivery period DT is a straight line. It may be corrected. By correcting in a straight line, when a slight temperature change occurs before and after the delivery period, the graph does not show an unnatural temperature change, and the reliability of the data does not decrease. In the above embodiment, the temperature data of the delivery period is corrected to the temperature data measured at the measurement time immediately before the start time of the delivery period even at the current transport destination. However, for example, when the transported object M and the temperature measuring device 2 are taken out from the container 5 in front of the recipient at the current transport destination, the situation is clear, and in this case, correction of the current transport destination may be omitted. Absent.
