DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for writing data to electronic devices such as computers, communications, home appliances, etc., and more particularly to a system for writing data using bar code labels.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of data writing system has
It has been used for the purpose of writing device-specific data such as a manufacturing serial number and a product name code as write data in a storage means of the device.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration of a data writing system in a first conventional example. The data writing system shown in FIG. 7 is configured to include a device 1 to which write data is written, a computer 2, and a communication interface 4 connecting the device 1 and the computer 2.

The device 1 has a storage unit for storing write data therein, and the write data is written therein. The computer 2 acquires write data to the device 1 by an input operation of the operator 30, and transmits the acquired write data to the device 1 via the communication interface 4. Operator 30
Manually inputs data to be written to the device 1 from the keyboard of the computer 2.

The operation of the first conventional example will be described. The operator 30 determines the write data from the model of the device 1 or the like, and
Manually input to the computer 2. When the write data is input, the computer 2 transmits the write data to the device 1 via the communication interface 4. The device 1 that has received the write data writes the received data into the built-in storage unit.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration of a data writing system according to a second conventional example. The data writing system shown in FIG. 8 includes a device 1 on which write data is written, a computer 2, a barcode reader 3, a communication interface 4 connecting the device 1 and the computer 2, a computer 2, and a barcode. The configuration includes a communication interface 5 for connecting to the reader 3 and a barcode sheet 60 having a plurality of barcode labels 60a.

[0007] The device 1 has a storage unit for storing write data therein, and the write data is written therein. The computer 2 acquires write data transmitted from the barcode reader 3 via the communication interface 5, and transmits the acquired write data to the device 1 via the communication interface 4. The barcode reader 3 reads data to be written to the device 1 from a plurality of barcode labels 60 a on the barcode sheet 60 and transmits the data to the computer 2 via the communication interface 5. The communication interface 4 is a communication interface for transmitting write data from the computer 2 to the device 1. The communication interface 5 is a communication interface that transmits data read from the barcode sheet 60 by the barcode reader 3 to the computer 2. The barcode sheet 60 includes a plurality of barcode labels 60a obtained by converting a plurality of write data to be written into the apparatus 1 into barcodes.

The operation of the second conventional example will be described. The operator determines the write data from the model of the apparatus 1 or the like, selects the barcode label 60a of the data to be written from the barcode sheet 60, and reads the data using the barcode reader 3. The data read by the barcode reader 3 is immediately transmitted to the computer 2 via the communication interface 5. When the write data is input, the computer 2 transfers the write data to the device 1 via the communication interface 4.
The device 1 that has received the write data writes the received data into the built-in storage unit.

[0009]

A first problem in the first conventional example is that the work time required for writing data is long. The reason is that since the operator performs the input operation of the write data by manual input, the operation time depends on the efficiency of the manual operation of the operator. For this reason, if the number of devices and the amount of write data increase, the complexity increases, and the working time further increases.

A second problem in the first conventional example is that the reliability of write data is low. The reason is that since the operator performs the input operation of the write data manually, the reliability depends on the accuracy of the manual operation of the operator.

A problem in the second conventional example is that the reliability of write data is low. The reason is that the operator selects and inputs desired write data from among a large number of barcode labels existing on the barcode sheet.
This is because the selection may be wrong.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to perform an input operation or a selection operation of write data without depending on an operator, and to improve the efficiency of the data write operation and the reliability of the write data.
