Next, the operation of the container tray system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, it is assumed that the cup 2 is placed on the container tray 1. First, when the container tray 1 determines that the cup 2 contains the contents based on the detection result of the weight sensor 129 (step S1), the light emitting element 122 is turned on (step S2). At this time, when a liquid containing a luminescent substance is poured into the cup 2, the light is radiated from the luminescent substance excited by the light having a wavelength in the ultraviolet region radiated from the light emitting element 122. Then, the container tray 1 generates wavelength information indicating the wavelength of the light emitted from the luminescent substance contained in the liquid by the wavelength detector 123 (step S3). Next, the generated wavelength information is transmitted from the container tray 1 to the server 100 (step S4). On the other hand, when the server 100 receives the wavelength information, the server 100 acquires the message information associated with the wavelength band including the wavelength indicated by the received wavelength information from the message storage unit 1301 (step S5). Subsequently, the acquired message information is transmitted from the server 100 to the container tray 1 (step S6). On the other hand, when the container tray 1 receives the message information, the display device 19 displays the received message information (step S7).

After that, when the container tray 1 determines that the cup 2 contains the contents based on the detection result of the weight sensor 129 (step S8), the light emitting element 122 is turned off (step S9). Next, when the container tray 1 determines that the position of the container tray 1 positioned by the positioning circuit 128 is outside the preset management area (step S10), the container tray 1 generates the above-mentioned warning information (step S11). Subsequently, the generated warning information is transmitted from the container tray 1 to the server 100 (step S12). Then, when the server 100 receives the warning information, the server 100 transmits the received warning information to, for example, a mobile terminal (not shown) possessed by the administrator. As a result, the manager can grasp the situation at an early stage when the container tray 1 is taken out of the management area, for example.

Next, the module control process executed by the container tray 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7. This module control process is started, for example, when the administrator of the container tray 1 sets the battery 16 in the container tray 1. First, the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 determines whether or not there is a content such as a liquid in the cup 2 (step S101). When the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 determines that there is no content in the cup 2 (step S101: No), the process of step S109 described later is executed. On the other hand, it is assumed that the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 determines that the content is present in the cup 2 (step S101: Yes). In this case, the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 outputs the above-mentioned lighting command information to the lighting circuit 125, and the lighting circuit 125 lights the light emitting element 122 by supplying a current from the battery 16 to the light emitting element 122 (step). S102).

Next, the wavelength information generation unit 1241 generates wavelength information indicating the wavelength of the light detected by the wavelength detector 123 based on the wavelength detection signal input from the wavelength detector 123 (step S103). Subsequently, the wavelength information generation unit 1241 outputs the generated wavelength information to the communication circuit 127, and the communication circuit 127 transmits the wavelength information input from the wavelength information generation unit 1241 to the server 100 (step S104). After that, the message acquisition unit 1245 acquires the message information transmitted from the server 100 (step S105). Next, the message acquisition unit 1245 outputs the acquired message information to the display device drive circuit 126, and the display device drive circuit 126 causes the display device 19 to display the message information input from the message acquisition unit 1245 (step S106). ).

Subsequently, the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 determines whether or not the content such as liquid has disappeared in the cup 2 (step S107). When the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 determines that the content is still present in the cup 2 (step S107: No), the process of step S109 described later is executed. On the other hand, it is assumed that the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 determines that the content has disappeared in the cup 2 (step S107: Yes). In this case, the content presence / absence determination unit 1242 outputs the above-mentioned extinguishing command information to the lighting circuit 125, and the lighting circuit 125 turns on the light emitting element 122 by cutting off the current supplied from the battery 16 to the light emitting element 122. (Step S108).

After that, the position determination unit 1243 determines whether or not the position of the container tray 1 measured by the positioning circuit 128 exists outside the preset management area (step S109). When the position determination unit 1243 determines that the position of the container tray 1 exists in the management area (step S109: No), the process of step S101 is executed again. On the other hand, it is assumed that the position determination unit 1243 determines that the position of the container tray 1 exists outside the management area (step S109: Yes). In this case, the warning information generation unit 1244 generates warning information for warning the administrator of the management area (step S110). Next, the warning information generation unit 1244 outputs the generated warning information to the communication circuit 127, and the communication circuit 127 transmits the warning information input from the warning information generation unit 1244 to the server 100 (step S111). Subsequently, the process of step S101 is executed again.
