[Prior art]

 It is widely known that the distribution of goods is becoming more and more complicated and increasing day by day with the development of economic society, and among them, industrial waste, hospitals, medical research laboratories, etc. Medical waste discharged from medical institutions is required to be treated strictly according to the Waste Management Law. These wastes are separated from general wastes, and are classified according to the nature of the wastes (liquids, sharp substances, solids) and stored in dedicated containers, and in principle sterilized such as incinerated. Be seen.

The medical waste stored in the dedicated container is generally delivered from a medical institution to an intermediary company (collection / transporter), and then disposed of by the intermediary company to a disposal company. Is common.

The distribution management in this case is conventionally performed by a so-called copy slip. For example, in FIG. 4, when the waste Z is delivered from the medical institution A to the intermediary B, a copy slip (a copy slip consisting of a plurality of sheets at the same time) First, the name of the medical institution that discharges the waste, the name of the collection company, the date of discharge, etc. are written in (a), (b), (c), and the medical institution A removes the copy (a) and the waste Z together with the completed slip is the intermediate B. Passed to. Further, when the intermediate company B delivers the waste to the disposal company C, it further fills in the predetermined items on the copying slips (b, c), removes the copy (b) of the intermediate company B, and discards the completed slip together with the waste. Give Z to disposal company C. Then, at the time when the waste Z is disposed of, the disposal operator C fills in the predetermined items such as the incineration date and the like on the remaining slip (C). That is, the processing flow is confirmed by checking the copy (a) of the medical institution side, the copy (b) of the intermediary company, and the copy (c) of the disposal company by the copy slip.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such distribution management of goods using copy slips, it is possible to manipulate the slips illegally. However, it was often difficult to find the dishonesty. In this way, when the waste is discharged to the general landfill or other waste disposal route or is illegally dumped, medical waste also contains infectious substances, which is a very serious social problem.

The present invention focuses on such conventional problems, and collects medical waste from medical institutions, intermediaries who collect and transport the waste, and waste delivered from the intermediary. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new physical distribution management device for goods, which enables confirmation of the flow to the disposal company for disposal.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The physical distribution management device of the present invention made to achieve the above object is a host computer and a first online terminal connected to the host computer, the first online terminal being provided on the sending side of articles arranged at remote locations from each other. Machine, a second online terminal provided on the final receiving side of the article, first article information input from the first online terminal, and input from the second online terminal Item information matching confirmation means provided in the host computer for confirming the presence / absence of the second article information, and article information for outputting the article information confirmed by the matching confirmation means to the first online terminal. And output means of A plurality of the first online terminal and the second online terminal are provided.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, for example, the article information input to the first online terminal of the medical institution side that discharges the medical waste, and the side of the processing company that processes and processes the waste. The presence / absence of the article information input to the second online terminal is confirmed by the matching confirmation means. Then, when the matching of the respective item information input is confirmed by the matching confirmation means, the matching confirmation information is output to the first online terminal on the medical institution side. Therefore, it is possible for the medical institution side to confirm that the waste discharged from the medical institution is reliably delivered to the disposal company and disposed of.

【Example】

 An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to distribution management of medical waste will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows an example of an online system diagram for explaining the present invention. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 are first online terminals, which are installed in a medical institution A such as a hospital or a medical research institute. Further, reference numerals 3 and 4 are also online terminals, which are installed in, for example, an office of an intermediary company B such as a collector. Further, reference numerals 5 and 6 are also similar second online terminals, which are installed in, for example, an office of a processing company C for incineration or the like.

These terminals 1 to 6 are so-called personal computers, and these terminals 1 to 6 use modems 7 to 12 and communication in order to configure online using a public communication line (telephone line), respectively. Network control units (hereinafter referred to as NCUs) 13 to 18 are attached. Keyboards 19 to 24 as input devices are connected to the terminals 1 to 6, respectively.

The NCUs 13 to 18 attached to the terminals 1 to 6 are connected to the telephone line networks 25 to 27, respectively, and these telephone line networks 25 to 27 are connected to each other via inter-network connecting devices 28 to 30, respectively. It is connected to the packet switching network 31. The packet switching network 31 is connected to a line terminating device (hereinafter referred to as DCE) 33 of a computer 32, and a host computer 35 is connected to the DCE 22 via a packet assembling / disassembling device (hereinafter referred to as PAD) 34. It is a connected configuration.

In the above configuration, the data input by the keyboards 19 to 24 connected to the terminals 1 to 6 are transmitted to the inter-network connection devices 28 to 30 via the telephone line networks 25 to 27, respectively. It

Transmission control means between the inter-network connecting devices 28 to 30 and the terminals 1 to 6 is predetermined. For example, data transmission from the terminal 1 to the packet switching network 31 is as follows. Done. First, the terminal 1 operates the internal NCU 13 to perform an on-hook operation. Next, the terminal 1 detects a dial tone transmitted from the switch in the telephone network 25. When the dial tone is detected, a dial pulse corresponding to the number of the host computer 35 of the center 32 is transmitted. It As a result, the incoming call packet is transferred to the PAD 34 via the DCE33. When the PAD 34 returns the incoming call acceptance packet, the network connection device 28 sends a communication start signal to the first online terminal 1 to start data communication.

At the end of data communication, the NCU 13 in the first online terminal 1 restores the telephone line (on-hook). As a result, the disconnect instruction packet is transmitted to the PAD 34. In response to this disconnection instruction packet, the PAD 34 sends a disconnection confirmation packet to the packet switching network 31. Reference numerals 36 and 37 in the figure are output forms created by the printers in the first online terminals 1 and 2 installed on the medical institution side. As described above, the medical institution A, the intermediary company B, and the processing company C can exchange data with the terminals 1 to 6 installed respectively.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a data file stored in the host computer 35 arranged in the center 32. In other words, this data file is given a final number for each, and this file number becomes the ID of the container that stores the waste. Then, for each file number, the No. No. 1 to No. Items up to n are set. For example, in the medical institution A, when a container containing waste is handed over to the intermediary B, a label with a series of different file numbers is attached to each container. At the same time, each file number is called by the keyboard 19 of the first online terminal 1, and for each file number, for example, item 1 is the name of the discharging medical institution, item 2 is the name of the collecting agent (intermediate company), and item 3 is the discharging date. Enter data such as. These data are stored in the host computer 35 via the packet switching network 31.

Then, the intermediary company B receives each container and conveys it to the processing company C. At this time, each file number is called based on the file number written on the label attached to each container, for example, by the keyboard 21 of the terminal device 3, and is collected and transported for each file number, for example, item 4. Enter the date of consignment, the incinerator name in Item 5, and the data such as the property code in Item 6. These data are stored in the host computer 35 via the packet switching network 31.

In this case, the information of items 1 to 3 already input at the medical institution A cannot be inquired at the terminal 3 of the intermediary B, or cannot be corrected even if inquired. It is done like this.

Further, the processing company C, which receives each container from the intermediary company, incinerates each received container. At this time, based on the file number written on the label attached to each container, each file number is called by the keyboard 23 of the second online terminal 5, and for each file number, for example, item 7 Enter data such as incineration date, weight (Kg) in item 8 and incineration temperature in item 9. These data are also stored in the host computer 35 via the packet switching network 31.

In this case, the information of each item 1 to 3 already input in the medical institution A and the information of each item 4 to 6 input in the intermediary B are stored in the second online terminal 5 of the processor C. Is inaccessible, or inaccessible but incapable of modification.

When data is input to at least each item 1 to 3 input at the medical institution A and each item 7 to 9 input at the processor C, the input item information can be matched. It is judged by the host computer 35 that the flag "1" is written in the item n of the corresponding file. (Consistency confirmation means)

Therefore, for example, in the first online terminal 1 in the medical institution A, the keyboard 1 is operated, and the command of the remote batch is input so as to output the file information in which the flag “1” is written to the printer. By doing so, the list processed by the processing company C is output as the form 36.

In this case, if the processor C is instructed to output the file information in which the data exists in the items 1 to 3 and the flag “1” is not written in the item n, the processor C does not have the information. You can check the processed files, that is, unprocessed waste.

In the above description of the embodiment, an example in which the physical distribution management for the treatment of medical waste is applied has been described, but it can be easily applied to general physical distribution management.
