TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a band with an electronic tag provided with an electronic tag.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a medical field, a method of recognizing a patient using a wristband with a bar code has been adopted so as not to make a mistake between patients and a mistake between an injection solution and a medicine. That is, a patient is provided with a wristband with a barcode unique to the patient, and a medical worker or the like reads the barcode using a terminal device and extracts information corresponding to the barcode from a host computer. Recognize the necessary treatment for the patient.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the barcode describes only a specific code, it cannot be rewritten. For this reason, for example, when the information of the patient such as medicine and nutritional status changes, it is necessary to rewrite the information stored in the host computer. Also, when reading the information, the terminal device must access the host computer, so that when using a wireless terminal, communication traffic cannot be ignored. In a hospital, it is desirable to avoid wireless communication as much as possible. Therefore, it is desirable to construct a system that can obtain necessary information about a patient himself from a wristband on the spot.
[0004]
In addition, a system using a barcode has a problem in that a healthcare worker reads a barcode from a wristband attached to the patient, rather than reading the barcode before the patient acts. Occurs. That is, depending on the degree of disability of the patient, it may be difficult to read the barcode by himself.
[0005]
Further, the wristband has a band fixing tool for fixing the band body so that it cannot be removed at the time of attachment. Once attached to the patient, the wristband cannot be removed without cutting the band body with scissors. For this reason, when the wristband is no longer needed because the patient is discharged from the hospital or the like, the wristband is discarded together with the barcode, and it is difficult to reuse the wristband.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has an electronic tag capable of freely rewriting data, acquiring necessary information on the spot, and reusing a data storage portion. The purpose is to provide a band.
[0013]

It becomes. In addition, since the electronic tag storage holds the electronic tag and the band fixing device fixes the band main body, it is possible to easily add the electronic tag to the band main body. Can be acquired. Therefore, unlike the case where a barcode is used, communication with the host computer does not have to be performed each time, and useless communication can be avoided. Also, new information can be added or updated from the original function of the electronic tag. In addition, since the band fixing device fixes the band body so that it cannot be removed at the time of attachment, the band body can be held in the attached state until it is no longer necessary. Further, when the band becomes unnecessary, the band can be detached from the body by cutting or the like, and the electronic tag can be taken out of the electronic tag storage section. Therefore, the electronic tag that is originally readable and writable can be reused many times without being discarded.
[0019]
Other electronic tagged band of the present invention, the band body and, together with both ends fixed portions of the band body to form a ring, a band fastener to disable the removal of the fixing between the two ends, the band fastener And an electronic tag fixed to the electronic tag.
