Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a medication management calendar as an item management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 2A and 2B are side sectional views of the medication management calendar shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2B, a medication management calendar 10 as an object management system includes a substrate main body 10A provided with a wiring 15 having a plurality of contacts 15x on a back surface (a surface on the back side in FIG. 1); A plurality of storage pockets 11 are provided on the surface of the main body 10A (the surface on the front side in FIG. 1), each having an opening 11a and storing a medicine bag 12 as an object to be stored, and provided on the periphery of the opening 11a of each storage pocket 11. And a magnet 13 for conducting the contact 15x by magnetic force.

  Of these, on the surface of the substrate body 10A, each day of the week, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and before bedtime, four indications for each day of the week are managed. And a display 3 after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner.

  The storage pockets 11 provided on the surface of the substrate body 10A are arranged at positions corresponding to the respective indications 2 of the day of the week and the respective indications 3 after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and before going to bed. ing.

  Further, an additional storage pocket 21 is provided on the front side of each storage pocket 11, and when the medicine bag 12 is taken out from the storage pocket 11, the storage pocket 11 is pressed by the additional storage pocket 21 toward the substrate main body 10 </ b> A, and the storage pocket 11 is removed. The opening 11a is closed.

That is, the substrate body 10A of the medication management calendar 10 is made of a relatively thick plastic sheet, and each storage pocket 11 is made of a relatively thin plastic sheet. Here, vinyl chloride, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate can be used as the plastic sheet.
If the amount of the medicine bags 12 stored in each of the storage pockets 11 of the medication management calendar 10 is large, the storage pockets 11 made of a plastic sheet are elongated and retain their shapes. It is conceivable that the opening of the pocket 11 does not close.

  In this case, the magnet 13 provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 11a of the storage pocket 11 cannot move to the substrate body 10A side as described later, and the contact 15x of the wiring 15 cannot be conducted.

  For this reason, in addition to the storage pockets 11, an additional storage pocket 21 made of the same material (made of a plastic sheet) as the storage pocket 11 and having an opening 21a is provided on the front side of each storage pocket 11. When the medicine bag 12 is taken out from the storage pocket 11, the storage pocket 11 is pressed against the substrate body 10A by the additional storage pocket 21 to close the opening 11a of the storage pocket 11.

  As described above, the additional storage pocket 21 has a structure shown in FIGS. 1 to 2B and FIG. 5 so that the storage pocket 11 can be effectively pressed toward the substrate body 10A by the additional storage pocket 21.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2B and FIG. 5, a plurality of storage pockets 11 are provided on the surface side of the substrate main body 10A, and additional storage pockets 21 are provided on the surface side of each storage pocket 11. In this case, when the height of the storage pocket 11 is h1 and the height of the additional storage pocket 21 is h2, it is preferable that h2 <h1. More preferably, the relationship between h1 and h2 is 0.3 × h1. <H2 <0.7 × h1.

In this case, when h2> 0.7 × h1, when the medicine bag 12 is stored in the storage pocket 11, the additional storage pocket 21 is similarly extended together with the storage pocket 11, and the additional storage pocket 21 It becomes difficult to apply pressing force.
On the other hand, an additional storage object, for example, an additional storage object such as a card-shaped label 22 may be stored between the additional storage pocket 21 and the storage pocket 11. Large pressing force. At this time, if h2 <0.3 × h1, the height of the additional storage pocket 21 is too small, and it becomes difficult to store the card-shaped label 22 in the additional storage pocket 21.

  It should be noted that the additional storage object is not limited to the card-shaped label 22, and other contents, for example, a general herbal medicine that does not require medication management, may be stored in the additional storage pocket 21 as the additional storage object.

  Next, the wiring 15 provided on the back surface of the substrate main body 10A and the magnetic body (metal plate) 17 to be attracted to the magnet 13 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

  2A and 2B are cross-sectional views showing the storage pocket 11 in the medication management calendar 10, specifically, cross-sectional views taken along the line X1-X2 in FIG. 1. FIG. 2A shows the storage pocket 11 to the medicine bag 12 in FIG. 2B shows a state before the medicine bag 12 is taken out from the storage pocket 11. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B, the substrate main body 10A of the medication management calendar 10 has the same rectangular shape as the overall shape of the medication management calendar 10 shown in FIG. The wiring 15 is formed on the back surface of the substrate body 10A. In the present embodiment, the wiring 15 is formed by printing a paint such as conductive ink on the surface of the insulating sheet 15A, and the insulating sheet 15A on which the wiring 15 is printed is formed by connecting the wiring 15 to the substrate. It is attached to the substrate body 10A toward the body 10A side. The substrate body 10A is made of thick vinyl chloride, and the insulator sheet 15A is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Therefore, the entire medication management calendar 10 is made flexible and can be rolled and carried.

At the periphery of the opening 11a of each storage pocket 11, a magnet 13 is provided for detecting when the medicine bag 12 is taken out of the storage pocket 11, and this magnet 13 is formed together with the wiring 15 as a part of the wiring 15. The contact 15x functions as a conducting portion for conducting.
The wiring 15 is covered by the substrate body 10A except for the region of the contact 15x. Specifically, the board main body 10A has a through hole 10B at a position corresponding to each storage pocket 11, and the contact 15x of the wiring 15 is exposed to the surface side of the board main body 10A through the through hole 10B. I have.

  Further, inside each of the storage pockets 11, the magnet 13 is provided on the periphery of the opening 11a of the storage pocket 11 as described above, and the magnet 13 is provided on the inner surface of the magnet 13, that is, on the surface on the substrate body 10A side. It has a formed conductive surface 13x. The conductive surface 13x is formed, for example, by applying a conductive paint to the surface of the magnet 13. The conductive surface 13x may be formed by attaching a metal plate or the like to the surface of the magnet 13. On the other hand, a metal plate 17 functioning as a magnetic material is attached to the back surface of the insulator sheet 15A, that is, the surface opposite to the substrate body 10A.

  As described above, the magnet 13 having the conductive surface 13x functions as a conductive portion. However, when the magnet 13 has sufficient conductivity, the conductive surface 13x made of a metal plate, a conductive paint, or the like is not necessarily provided.

  Further, instead of the metal plate 17, a synthetic resin material in which a conductive material is kneaded as a magnetic material may be used.

Next, the contact 15x of the wiring 15 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the contact 15x of the wiring 15 in one storage pocket 11. In FIG. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a view of the broken line region 40 in FIG. 1 viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2A, and only the outline of the magnet 13 is indicated by a broken line. As shown in FIG. 3, a through hole 10B is provided in the substrate body 10A at the position of the storage pocket 11, and a part of the wiring 15 is formed as a contact 15x in a region in the through hole 10B. In the example of FIG. 3, the contact 15x is configured by two contact portions 15xa and 15xb formed in a comb shape or an island shape. The magnet 13 is attached to the inside of the storage pocket 11 and the periphery of the opening 11a of the storage pocket 11 so as to come to the position of the through hole 10B, that is, the position facing the region where the contact point 15x is exposed. .

  The contact 15x, which is a part of the wiring 15 formed on the insulator sheet 15A, has two contact portions 15xa and 15xb of the electric switch, and the conductive surface 13x provided on the magnet 13 has the two contact portions 15xa. , 15xb function as conductive surfaces.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows an example of the arrangement of the wiring 15 in the medication management calendar 10. Specifically, FIG. 4 is a diagram of the substrate management body 10A that is transparent and the medication management calendar 10 viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. A circuit module 31 including an electronic circuit is provided on the substrate main body 10A of the medication management calendar 10. The circuit module 31 includes a date and time storage circuit 32 having a clock function, and a communication module 33 for wireless communication with the outside. The communication module 33 is configured by, for example, an NFC tag.

  The wiring 15a is formed on the insulator sheet 15A so as to extend from the circuit module 31 to the contact portion 15xa of the contact 15x at the position of each storage pocket 11. On the other hand, the contact portion 15xb of the contact 15x is connected to a common ground (GND) wiring 15g. The wirings 15a and 15g and the terminals of the circuit module 31 are electrically connected by, for example, thermocompression bonding. In FIG. 4, the magnet 13 is indicated by a broken line at the position of each contact 15x.

  When the medicine bag 12 is taken out of the storage pocket 11 and the switch is turned on, the signal is sent to the circuit module 31 through the wiring 15. The date and time storage circuit 32 stores the date and time when the switch was turned on, that is, the date and time when the medicine bag 12 was removed (hereinafter, referred to as “removal date and time”). The communication module 33 is capable of wireless communication with an external terminal device 45, and transmits the extraction date and time stored in the date and time storage circuit 32 to the terminal device 45 in response to a request from the terminal device 45. In this manner, the date and time of taking out the medicine bag 12 can be managed by the terminal device 45. Note that the terminal device 45 may be a tablet terminal, a normal PC, or the like, in addition to the mobile terminal illustrated in FIG. In addition, the information on the date and time of removal obtained by the terminal device 45 can be further transmitted to a server (not shown) or the like, so that the medication states of a plurality of patients can be managed in an integrated manner.

  In the above embodiment, the magnet 13 is provided in the storage pocket 11 and the metal plate 17 is provided on the back side of the insulator sheet 15A, but the metal plate 17 is provided in the storage pocket 11 and the metal plate 17 is provided on the back side of the insulator sheet 14. A magnet 13 may be provided.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
In the medication management calendar 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2B, a patient who takes medication takes out the medication bag 12 corresponding to the medication date and time from the storage pocket 11 and takes the medication. In some cases, an administrator who manages medication for the patient may take out the medicine bag 12 from the storage pocket 11 and cause the patient to take the medicine bag 12.

  Specifically, when the medicine bag 12 is stored in the storage pocket 11 as shown in FIG. 2A, the storage pocket 11 expands due to the medicine bag 12. Since the medicine bag 12 as an insulator is interposed between the magnet 13 and the contact 15x, and the magnet 13 is separated from the contact 15x, the two contact portions 15xa and 15xb do not conduct. For this reason, the contact 15x is in the off state. 2A shows a state in which the metal plate 17 is not attracted to the magnet 13 and a space exists between the magnet 13 and the metal plate 17 for convenience of explanation. Actually, the metal plate 17 is attracted to the magnet 13 depending on the magnetic force (attractive force) of the magnet 13, but the insulating medicine bag 12 still exists between the magnet 13 and the contact 15x. Therefore, the contact portions 15xa and 15xb do not conduct. At this time, the card-shaped label 22 is stored in the additional storage pocket 21, that is, between the additional storage pocket 21 and the storage pocket 11, as shown in FIG. 2A.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, after the medicine bag 12 is taken out of the storage pocket 11, there is no intervening one between the magnet 13 and the contact 15x.

  At the same time, the storage pocket 11 swelled by the medicine bag 12 returns to its original shape and moves to the substrate body 10A side. At this time, since the card-shaped label 22 is stored in the additional storage pocket 21, a pressing force is effectively applied from the side of the additional storage pocket 21 in which the card-shaped label 22 is stored to the storage pocket 11. As a result, the storage pocket 11 swelled by the medicine bag 12 can be returned to the original shape, and can be reliably moved to the substrate body 10A side to close the opening 11a of the storage pocket 11.

  Thus, the storage pocket 11 moves to the substrate body 10A side, and the magnet 13 attached to the storage pocket 11 also moves to the substrate body 10A side. Thereby, the conductive surface 13x of the magnet 13 and the contact 15x come into contact. As a result, the conductive surface 13x of the magnet 13 makes the contact portions 15xa and 15xb conductive, and the switch is turned on. Thus, it is possible to detect that the medicine bag 12 has been taken out of the storage pocket 11.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the card-shaped label 22 is stored in the additional storage pocket 21 is shown. However, it is not necessary to store the card-shaped label 22 in the additional storage pocket 21. May be empty.

Next, a specific example of the present embodiment will be described.
