Description

The present invention reads the identification information of an individual identification tag (wireless ID tag, hereinafter abbreviated as “identification tag”) attached to a movable individual in a non-contact manner, checks for forgotten things related to the individual, prevents the loss of theft, etc. The present invention relates to a portable terminal, a non-contact type individual identification management method , a program for causing a computer to execute the method , and a storage medium.

  In recent years, an identification tag is attached to a movable individual such as a product or article, and unique identification information set in advance on the identification tag is read from the host side in a non-contact manner, thereby identifying and managing the individual. Identification management methods have become widely known. A non-contact type individual identification management system using this method includes an identification tag attached to an individual such as a product or an article, and an interrogator connected to the host side, and is a microwave band radio wave transmitted from the interrogator. Is received by the identification tag (responder) and responds to the interrogator.

  As an application example of such a non-contact type individual identification management system, there is a system that manages a rental video with an identification tag in a rental video store. This management system arranges shelf antennas corresponding to the above-mentioned interrogators in a bookcase storage case in the store, stores and displays rental videos each with an identification tag attached to the shelf, and identifies these rental videos. It is managed by tags. In this management system, a gate with a similar interrogator is installed at the entrance of the store, etc., and when the rental video passes through this gate, the passage is detected to prevent theft. it can.

  On the other hand, there is a portable theft loss prevention device described in Patent Document 1 as a device for preventing the loss of a portable object. This portable theft and loss prevention device has a transmitter in one of the portable object and the carrier, and a receiver in the other, and the reception level at the receiver with respect to the radio wave emitted by the transmitter is determined in advance. When the level falls below the level, an alarm such as a buzzer sound is issued to alert the mobile phone that the mobile phone has been separated from the mobile phone by a predetermined distance or more, and the loss of the theft of the mobile phone is prevented. .

Further, in Patent Document 2, the individual information identification unit identifies an individual by receiving an individual ID wirelessly transmitted from the individual via a wireless receiver installed in the vicinity of the surveillance camera, and the location management unit includes: The location of the individual is specified by associating the recognized individual ID with the captured captured image.

  However, when applying the prior art described in Patent Document 1 to detect forgotten things or theft of individual articles as portable items, a transmitter and a receiver are provided for each of the articles that detect forgotten things or theft. I had to prepare.

  Therefore, instead of preparing a transmitter and a receiver for each item, it is conceivable to use a non-contact type individual identification management system applicable to the rental video management system described above. In this case, a transmitter provided for each article is shared like a shelf antenna (interrogator) in the rental video management system described above, and an identification tag is attached to each article like a rental video.

  However, also in this case, it is necessary to register the identification information of the identification tag corresponding to various articles as portable items, and the registration work takes a lot of time and effort. Also, if the number and type of goods that you carry with you each time you go out are different from each other, the number and type of items that you carry will be registered one by one in order to be able to detect forgotten items and theft each time. On the contrary, the goods that were no longer carried had to be deregistered one by one.

  For this reason, the list of various articles as portable items cannot be managed as a whole, and there is a problem that it is impossible to manage which identification information corresponds to which article, and when and where the identification information is registered. . That is, a non-contact type individual identification management system that uses a conventional identification tag and a reader that reads the identification information of the identification tag in a non-contact manner to detect forgotten things or thefts related to various individual articles as portable items In the rental video management system, the rental video management system cannot easily manage video tapes so as to prevent theft when passing through the gate.

  In addition, it takes a lot of time and effort to input the name of the portable object when registering the portable object. For this reason, attempts have been made to save time and labor by associating and registering a photographed image photographed by a camera and identification information as in Patent Document 2. However, the method as disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a problem that the identification tag cannot be read simultaneously with the shutter operation of the camera, and a plurality of identification tag information and a photographed image cannot be registered in association with each other. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and can effectively prevent forgotten things or lost thefts related to movable individuals, and can be used for registration and detection.

In this figure, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 includes an operation unit 30-1, a reading unit 30-2, a character input unit 30-3, an alarm unit 30-4, a display unit 30-5, and a radio wave intensity detection unit 30-. 6, time information acquisition means 30-7, position information acquisition means 30-8, control means 30-9, and storage means 30-10.

  1 and 2, the operation unit 30-1 is means for operating various operations of the non-contact individual identification management device 30. For these various operation operations, a registration command and a confirmation command for the identification tag 20 are input to perform registration of the portable object 10 and confirmation of the theft and loss of the portable object 10, and the theft and loss confirmation of the portable object 10 is periodically performed. Instructing the periodic automatic transmission of reading commands and performing registration cancellation of the identification tag 20 once registered. The operation unit 30-1 also performs various settings such as a registration method (simultaneous registration or individual registration) when registering the identification information of the identification tag 20.

  The reading unit 30-2 transmits a reading command based on a registration command, a confirmation command or the like input from the operation unit 30-1, and receives a response transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to the reading command, When a response from the identification tag 20 is received with a received radio wave intensity equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, the identification information of the identification tag 20 included in the response is read.

  The character input means 30-3 is composed of, for example, a key input device or the like, and an individual name (corresponding to the identification tag 20) registered in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10 described later in association with the identification information of the identification tag 10. Is input). The alarm means 30-4 is composed of a speaker, a vibrator, etc., and notifies the occurrence of the theft and loss of the portable object 10 registered in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10 described later.

  The display means 30-5 is composed of a liquid crystal display or the like, and displays various information such as a result of comparing the identification information registration list 31 with the read identification information. The radio wave intensity detecting means 30-6 detects the received radio wave intensity of the response transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to the read command, and the most of the responses transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to this read command. The response identification tag 20 having a high received radio wave intensity can be identified.

  The time information acquisition means 30-7 is composed of a timer or the like, and the time information when the identification information read by the reading means 30-2 is registered or deregistered with respect to the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10.

The position information acquisition means 30-8 is composed of GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like, and registers or deregisters the identification information read by the reading means 30-2 in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10. The position information of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 at that time is acquired as a registered position or a registration cancellation position.

  The control unit 30-9 inputs or acquires the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading unit 30-2, or the character input unit 30-3, the time information acquisition unit 30-7, and the position information acquisition unit 30-8. The various information to be registered is controlled to be registered in the identification information registration list 31 of the recording means 30-10. Further, the control means 30-9 performs the confirmation control of the theft and loss of the identification tag 20 read by the reading means 30-2 or the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached, or enters the identification information registration list 31. The operation of each part of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 is controlled in relation to the registration control and the confirmation control of the theft and loss of the portable object 10.

  The storage means 30-10 holds the identification information registration list 31, and is configured to temporarily store information and data necessary for executing the registration process to the identification information registration list 31, the confirmation process of theft and loss, and the like. .

  In the non-contact individual identification management system 1 having such a configuration, the registration method to the identification information registration list 31 and the configuration of the identification information registration list 31 will be described in detail below.

  The contactless individual identification management device 30 registers the identification tag 20 in the identification information registration list 31 in a simultaneous registration mode for registering the identification tags 20 around the device all at once and the individual identification tags 20 in order. The individual registration mode is provided, and one of the modes can be selected and set from the operation unit 30-1 to the reading unit 30-2 in advance.

  Further, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 cancels the registration of the identification tag 20 registered in the identification information registration list 31 when registering the identification tags 20 around the device simultaneously or individually in the identification information registration list 31. In this case, a position time information registration mode for registering the position information and time information at that time in correspondence with the identification tag 20 is provided, and the setting and release can be selected and set in advance from the operation unit 30-1 to the control unit 30-9. It is configured.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart in the case where the registration process of the identification information registration list is performed using the non-contact individual identification management device which is the premise of the present embodiment.

  1 and 3, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 determines whether or not the user 2 has input a registration command from the operation unit 30-1 in order to register the identification information of the identification tag 20 in the identification information registration list 31. Is confirmed (step S01). When this registration command is input and a reading command transmission instruction is supplied from the operation unit 30-1, the reading unit 30-2 determines whether the registration mode is set to the simultaneous registration mode or the individual registration mode. Confirm (step S02).

  Here, when the simultaneous registration mode is set in advance, the reading unit 30-2 reads the identification information of all the identification tags 20 within a predetermined range around the non-contact individual identification management device 30 (step S03). In this case, the reading unit 30-2 transmits a reading command based on a reading command transmission instruction from the operation unit 30-1, and receives a response transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to the reading command. The identification information included in the response is read. At that time, the reading unit 30-2 reads the identification information of all the identification tags 20 that can receive the response, and receives the response from the identification tag 20 to the radio wave intensity of the received radio wave detected by the radio wave intensity detecting unit 30-6. Based on. Further, in the case of a response from the identification tag 20 having a received radio wave intensity equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, the reading unit 30-2 reads the identification information included in the response, while the received radio wave intensity is weaker than the threshold. In the case of a response, the identification information included in the response is not read.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an identification tag read by the reading operation of the reading means 30-2. In this figure, let A be a predetermined range defined based on a predetermined threshold value of received radio wave intensity centering on the reading means 30-2, that is, the non-contact individual identification management device 30. Responses transmitted from the identification tags 20-1 and 20-2 located inside the predetermined range A can be read because the radio wave intensity received by the reading means 30-2 is equal to or greater than a threshold value. it can. However, the response transmitted from the identification tag 20-3 located outside the predetermined range A cannot be read by the reading means 30-2 because the received radio wave intensity is lower than the threshold value.

  Therefore, as shown in step S03 of FIG. 3, in the simultaneous registration mode, the reading unit 30-2 focuses on the non-contact individual identification management device 30 according to the received radio wave intensity of the response transmitted from the identification tag 20. The identification information of all the identification tags 20-1 and 20-2 located inside the predetermined range A is read and supplied to the storage means 30-10. The predetermined range A can be adjusted by appropriately setting the value of the radio wave intensity as a threshold value.

  Next, processing performed by the non-contact individual identification management device 30 when it is confirmed that the individual registration mode is set as the registration mode in step S02 of FIG. 3 will be described. Referring to FIG. 4 as an example, when the individual registration mode is preset as the registration mode, the reading unit 30-2 transmits a reading command in the same manner as in the above-described simultaneous registration mode, and within the predetermined range A Responses transmitted from all the identification tags 20-1 and 20-2 located in are received, and the response with the highest received radio wave intensity is selected based on the detection result of the radio wave intensity detection means 30-6. In addition, the reading unit 30-2 reads only the identification information of the identification tag 20-m (in this case, m = 1 or 2) corresponding to the selected response with the highest received radio wave intensity (step S04 in FIG. 3). .

  Therefore, in the individual registration mode, the identification information of the identification tag 20-m located closest to the non-contact individual identification management device 30 is usually based on the received radio wave intensity of the response transmitted from the identification tag 20. Then, it is read by the reading means 30-2 and supplied to the storage means 30-10 in FIG.

  It should be noted that the selection of the response with the highest received radio wave intensity is made by making the above-described threshold value of the radio wave intensity variable instead of comparing the values of the received radio wave intensity for the responses from all the identification tags 20 within the predetermined range A. The threshold may be automatically changed so that only the response with the highest received radio wave intensity is received.

  Further, in the individual registration mode, when the identification information of the identification tag 20-m corresponding to the response with the highest received radio wave intensity is supplied to the storage means 30-10, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 is the only one. The identification information of the read identification tag 20-m is displayed on the display means 30-5 by the control means 30-9 in FIG. In addition, the name (individual name) of the portable object 10 is input to the display means 30-5 in correspondence with this identification information (that is, the identification tag 20-m located closest to the non-contact individual identification management device 30). It is guided (displayed) that it is possible. By this guidance, the user 2 can recognize that the name (individual name) of the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20-m is attached can be input by operating the character input means 30-3.

  When it is necessary to register the name of the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20-m is to be attached, the user 2 operates the character input means 30-3 based on the above guidance and carries the identification tag 20-m. Enter the name (individual name) of the object 10. Therefore, in FIG. 3, when the user 2 inputs the name (individual name) of the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20-m is attached based on the guidance from the character input means 30-3 (step S05), the name is changed. It is supplied from the character input means 30-3 to the storage means 30-10 for registration in the identification information registration list 31 (step S06).

  In the individual registration mode, when the user 2 does not need to register the name of the portable object 10 (individual name input) shown in step S06 of FIG. 3, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 selects the individual name by the user 2. Based on the skip operation of the input process or the fact that the input operation is not performed by the character input unit 30-3 in FIG. 2 even after a predetermined time elapses, the process proceeds to the confirmation process of the next position time information registration mode.

  As described above, the contactless individual identification management device 30 uses the simultaneous registration mode or the individual registration mode, so that the identification information of all the identification tags 20 located in the predetermined range A or the received radio wave intensity is the highest in the predetermined range A. When the identification information of the identification tag 20 that is high (closest to the nearest) is read, the confirmation process of the position time information registration mode is performed (step S07). In this position / time information registration mode, it is confirmed in advance whether the user 2 has set the position / time information registration mode by operating the operation unit 30-1.

  In addition, when the position time information registration mode is set, the current time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 30-7 and the current position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 30-8 are registered respectively. Information and registered position information are supplied to the storage means 30-10 (step S08).

  In the non-contact individual identification management device 30, in addition to the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading unit 30-2 as described above, the name from the character input unit 30-3 acquired according to the mode at that time ( Individual name), registration time information from the time information acquisition means 30-7 and registration position information from the position information acquisition means 30-8 are registered in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10 by the control means 30-9. (Step S09).

  Next, the configuration of the identification information registration list in the storage unit 30-10 in FIG. 2 will be described in detail. FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of the identification information registration list based on the simultaneous registration mode. In FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, in the simultaneous registration mode, the identification information registration list of the storage means 30-10 is obtained by inputting the identification information of all the identification tags 20 attached to the portable object 10 by one registration command. 31 can be registered.

  When executing the simultaneous registration mode, the user 2 selects and sets the simultaneous registration mode using the operation unit 30-1, and registers the registration list 31 within a predetermined range (range A in FIG. 4) centering on the non-contact individual identification management device 30. All the identification tags 20 (20-1 to 20-n) to be registered are registered. Then, the user 2 inputs a registration command from the operation unit 30-1 (step S01 in FIG. 3).

  At this time, if the position time information registration mode is not set in advance by the operation of the operation unit 30-1, a list format as shown in FIG. 5 regarding the identification information of the read identification tag 20 is stored in the storage means 30-10. The identification information registration list 31-1 is created, and the identification information of all the identification tags 20 positioned within the predetermined range A is registered in the identification information registration list 31-1.

  Although not shown in the figure, when the location time information registration mode is set in advance by operating the operation unit 30-1 in this simultaneous registration mode, it is registered in the identification information registration list 31-1. Corresponding to the identification information of all the identification tags 20 within the predetermined range A, the registration time information and the registered position information respectively acquired by the time information acquisition means 30-7 and the position information acquisition means 30-8 are also registered. The

  As described above, the identification information registration list 31-1 in the simultaneous registration mode only registers the identification information of all the readable identification tags 20 as a list by inputting the registration command once. Although it is not sufficient when it is used for confirming which portable object 10 corresponds, it functions sufficiently as a material for determining whether or not all portable objects 10 are available.

  When the identification information registration list 31-1 is used, for example, when the number and types of portable objects 10 that are usually carried are determined, the same number of identification tags 20 as the portable objects 10 are included in the identification information registration list 31-1. It is only necessary to register as a list and attach the identification tags 20 to the portable object 10 respectively. For this reason, the registration operation to the identification information registration list 31-1 can be performed only by inputting a registration command once, and the registration operation becomes extremely easy.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of the identification information registration list based on the individual registration mode. In the individual registration mode, the identification information of all the identification tags 20 attached to the portable object 10 is associated with the identification information registration list 31 for each portable object 10, and the identification information of the identification tag 20 is identified one by one. It can be registered in the registration list 31.

  When executing the individual registration mode, the user 2 selects and sets the individual registration mode with the operation unit 30-1, and selects one identification tag 20 to be registered in the individual registration work at that time. The identification tag 20 selected in this way is arranged so as to be located in the nearest vicinity of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 with respect to the remaining identification tags 20. Then, the user 2 inputs a registration command for registering the identification tag 20 from the operation unit 30-1.

  When the location time information registration mode is not set in advance by operation of the operation unit 30-1, the storage unit 30-10 is registered in the registration order (registration number) in the individual registration mode of the identification tag 20 and the registration order. An identification information registration list 31-2 having a format as shown in FIG. 6 in which the identification information is associated is created. The identification information registration list 31-2 has the highest received radio wave intensity for each execution of each registration process, corresponding to the registration order (registration number), that is, the number of executions of the registration process shown in FIG. Identification information of the identification tag 20-m corresponding to a high response is registered.

  FIG. 6 shows the individual name corresponding to the identification information of the identification tag 20-m corresponding to the response having the highest received radio wave intensity by the reading means 30-2 in each registration process as described above. The identification information registration list 31-2 when the input is made is shown. This identification information registration list 31-2 is registered by the following input method or the like. That is, in the individual registration mode, as the first registration work, the identification tag 20 having the identification information “123456789” is arranged at the nearest position with respect to the non-contact individual identification management device 30, and then registered from the operation unit 30-1. An instruction is input, and “鞄” is input as an individual name by the character input means 30-3. Further, in the next registration work, instead of the identification tag 20 having the identification information “123456789”, the identification tag 20 having the identification information “234567890” is disposed at the nearest position with respect to the non-contact individual identification management device 30. Similarly, a registration command is input, and “wallet” is input as an individual name. Further, in the next registration work, instead of the identification tag 20 of the identification information “234567890”, the identification tag 20 of the identification information “345678901” is arranged at the nearest position with respect to the non-contact individual identification management device 30. Similarly, a registration command is input, and “key” is input as an individual name.

  In this way, in the identification information registration list 31-2 in the individual registration mode, the user 2 registers the identification information of the identification tag 20 in the identification information registration list 31-2 one by one for each identification tag 20 in order. can do.

  Thereby, according to the identification information registration list 31-2 in the individual registration mode, it is possible to determine which identification information of which identification tag 20 corresponds to which portable object 10. In addition, since the identification information of one identification tag 20 can be registered at the same time as the individual name to which the identification tag 20 is attached, the above determination can be made easier and more reliable.

  If the location time information registration mode is set in advance in this individual registration mode, the identification information registration list 31-1 includes time information acquisition means corresponding to each identification information registration of one identification tag 20. Registration time information and registration position information acquired by 30-7 and position information acquisition means 30-8 are registered.

  Next, a method for confirming the current state of the identification tag 20 registered in the identification information registration list 31 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the confirmation process of the identification tag registered in the identification information registration list of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 which is the premise of the present embodiment.

  When the user 2 confirms the loss of the theft of the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 registered in the identification information registration list 31 is attached in advance, the user 2 inputs a confirmation command from the operation unit 30-1. In the non-contact individual identification management device 30, in order to confirm the state of the identification tag 20 of the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31, it is determined whether or not the user 2 has input a confirmation command from the operation unit 30-1. Confirm (step S11).

  The reading unit 30-2 transmits a reading command when an instruction to transmit the reading command based on the confirmation command is supplied from the operation unit 30-1. A response transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to the transmission of the reading command is received by the reading means 30-2, and in the same manner as in the simultaneous registration mode described above, a predetermined area around the non-contact individual identification management device 30 is determined. Reading information 30-2 is read for the identification information of all the identification tags 20 within the range A (step S12).

  Thereby, in the non-contact individual identification management device 30, the identification information of all the identification tags 20 currently located within the predetermined range A is acquired. Further, in the non-contact individual identification management device 30, the control unit 30-9 has the identification information of all the identification tags 20 read by the reading unit 30-2 and the identification information of the storage unit 30-10 by the processing of step S12. All the identification information registered in the registration list 31 is compared (step S13).

  This comparison result is notified to the user 2 by being displayed on the display means 30-5. In particular, if the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10 includes identification information that does not match the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading means 30-2 (step S14). Then, a warning is issued to register the deregistration information in the identification information registration list 31 (step S15).

  This registration cancellation information includes identification information that does not match the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading means 30-2 in the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10. The current time information (registration cancellation time information) acquired by the time information acquisition means 30-7 and the current position information (registration cancellation position information) acquired by the position information acquisition means 30-8.

  Also, the registration warning of the registration cancellation information is given by display on the display unit 30-5 or operation of the alarm means 30-4. Then, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 registers the registration cancellation time information and the registration cancellation position information in the identification information registration list 31 as history information in correspondence with the identification information that does not match in the identification information registration list 31 (step S16).

  In the confirmation processing in steps S11 to S15, it has been described that the confirmation command from the operation unit 30-1 by the user 2 is executed by manual input. However, the user 2 previously uses the operation unit 30-1 to perform a predetermined cycle. Alternatively, if an automatic confirmation mode is set so that a confirmation command is automatically input at a predetermined time, the operation unit 30-1 confirms the reading means 30-2 with a predetermined period or a predetermined time. The instruction to send the reading command is automatically output. Thereby, in the non-contact individual identification management apparatus 30, the confirmation process of said step S11-S15 is repeated, and it becomes possible to detect registration cancellation, ie, the occurrence of theft loss at any time. As a result, in the case of theft loss, the user can immediately know that the identification tag 20 worn and the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached are lost.

  Hereinafter, with respect to the action by the confirmation processing of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 described above, the identification information registration list 31-1 based on the simultaneous registration mode shown in FIG. The case where the identification information registration list 31-2 based on the individual registration mode shown in FIG. 6 is registered will be described as an example.

  The user 2 determines the number and types of portable items 10 that the user usually carries, and registers the identification information of the identification tags 20 attached to these portable items 10 in the simultaneous registration mode as in the identification information registration list 31-1. In this case, when a confirmation command is input by automatic input or manual input by the user 2, if any one of the portable objects 10 registered at the same time is lost or stolen, the determination process shown in step S14 of FIG. In step S15, the warning process shown in step S15 causes the display unit 30-5 to display and the alarm unit 30-4 to be operated. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the loss of theft.

  In the case of the identification information registration list shown in FIG. 6, the identification information of the identification tag 20 is registered in the individual registration mode in association with the portable object 10 that the user 2 usually carries, and the identification tag 20 is attached for each identification information. The name of the portable object 10 is also input from the character input means 30-3. In this case, if a confirmation command is input manually or automatically by the user 2 and one of the individually registered portable objects 10 is lost or stolen, the determination process shown in step S14 of FIG. Since the display by the display unit 30-5 and the operation of the alarm means 30-4 are performed in the warning process shown in step S15, it is possible to easily confirm the loss of theft.

  Further, the result of comparison in the comparison process shown in step S13 of FIG. 7 and the warning process shown in step S15 also include the identification information registration list 31 as shown in the display content in the display means 30-5 of FIG. In correspondence with the name of the portable object 10 registered in Fig. 4, "O" is displayed for the portable object 10 within the predetermined range A in FIG. 4, and blank display is performed for the portable object 10 outside the predetermined range A in FIG. The portable object 10 can be confirmed individually.

Based on the above description, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a non-contact type individual identification management system to which the non-contact type individual identification management method of the present invention is applied. In this figure, for example, a plurality of portable objects 10 such as a user's wallet, key, bag, etc. are arranged within a range that can be photographed by the photographing means 30-11 described later with the identification tag 20 attached thereto. ing. In addition, as in the case of FIG. 1, these identification tags 20 are configured by non-contact type identification media such as RF-ID (Radio Frequency Identification) to which unique identification information (ID code) is attached. Has been.

The non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ is a portable type, and includes an operation unit 30-1 ′, a reading unit 30-2 ′, a display unit 30-5 ′, and a photographing unit 30-11 on the surface. The imaging means 30-11 is made of, for example, a solid-state imaging device, and is configured to be able to take an image of the identification tag 20 and the like within a predetermined imaging range when a shutter operation is performed by the operation unit 30-1 ′.
The display unit 30-5 ′ displays the image captured by the photographing unit 30-11 in the first area 30-5-1 and the identification information read by the reading unit 30-2 ′ in the second area 30-5-2. Is configured to be displayed. Thereby, the user can confirm the captured image and the registered identification information together while the imaging unit 30-11 is activated.

  FIG. 9 is a block configuration explanatory diagram for describing the configuration of the non-contact individual identification management device of the present embodiment. In this figure, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ includes an operation unit 30-1 ′, a reading unit 30-2 ′, a character input unit 30-3, an alarm unit 30-4 ′, a display unit 30-5 ′, a radio wave. It comprises intensity detection means 30-6, time information acquisition means 30-7, position information acquisition means 30-8, control means 30-9 ', storage means 30-10', and imaging means 30-11.

  In addition, the operation unit 30-1 'is particularly configured to perform an operation operation of the photographing unit 30-11 and a captured image capturing operation (shutter operation). That is, the operation unit 30-1 ′ operates various operations of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ (such as a registration command or confirmation command input operation, a read command periodic automatic transmission instruction operation, a registration deletion operation). In addition to performing various settings such as a method for registering identification information (simultaneous registration or individual registration), an operation operation of the photographing unit 30-11 and a captured image capturing operation (shutter operation) can be performed. It has become.

  The reading unit 30-2 'is particularly configured to read the identification information of the identification tag 20 at a long distance at low frequency and to read the identification information of the identification tag 20 at a short distance at high frequency. That is, the reading unit 30-2 ′ transmits a reading command based on a registration command, a confirmation command, etc. input from the operation unit 30-1 ′, and sends a response transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to the reading command. In addition to reading the identification information included in the response when the received signal strength is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold when the response from the identification tag 20 is received, the identification tag 20 of a long distance at low frequency The identification information can be read and the identification information of the identification tag 20 at a short distance can be read at a high frequency.

  The alarm means 30-4 'is particularly configured to emit a shooting sound at the time of taking a shot image. That is, the alarm means 30-4 ′ comprises a speaker, a vibrator, etc., in addition to notifying the occurrence of theft loss of the portable object 10 registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′. In this configuration, it is possible to emit a shooting sound at the time of capturing a captured image.

  In particular, the display means 30-5 'is configured to be able to display the captured image captured by the imaging means 30-11. That is, the display means 30-5 ′ is composed of a liquid crystal display or the like, and displays various types of information such as the result of comparing the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ with the read identification information. The captured image captured by the means 30-11 can also be displayed.

  When necessary, the control unit 30-9 ′ associates the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading unit 30-2 ′ with the captured image captured by the imaging unit 30-11, and records the recording unit 30. The registration control is performed in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of −10 ′. That is, the control unit 30-9 ′ performs the confirmation control of the theft and loss for the identification tag 20 read by the reading unit 30-2 ′ or the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached, In addition to performing the operation control of each part of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ in connection with the registration control to the information registration list 31 ′, etc., if necessary, for example in step S24 of FIG. As will be described, the identification information of the identification tag 20 and the photographed image are associated with each other and can be registered and controlled in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the recording means 30-10 ′.

  The storage unit 30-10 'is particularly configured to store the captured image captured by the imaging unit 30-11. That is, the storage unit 30-10 ′ holds the identification information registration list 31 ′, and temporarily stores information and data necessary for executing the registration process to the identification information registration list 31 ′, the confirmation process of theft loss, etc. In addition to this, the captured image captured by the imaging means 30-11 can also be stored.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart when registration processing is performed in the identification information registration list in the non-contact individual identification management device of the present embodiment. In FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ allows the user from the operation unit 30-1 ′ to register the captured image and identification information of the identification tag 20 in the identification information registration list 31 ′. It is confirmed whether an imaging means activation command or a registration command has been input (step S17). When the input is confirmed, when the activation instruction based on the activation instruction for the imaging unit 30-11 is supplied from the operation unit 30-1 ′, the imaging unit 30-11 displays the monitor image on the display unit 30-5 ′. Supply is performed (step S18). Note that this monitor image supply may be such that the photographed image may be directly transferred from the photographing means 30-11 to the display means 30-5 ′ or once taken into the recording means 30-10 ′ and then sent to the display means 30-5 ′. You may do it.

  Next, the photographing unit 30-11 confirms whether or not the user has input a shutter command for instructing capturing of a captured image from the operation unit 30-1 ′ (step S19), and when the input of the shutter command is confirmed, When a captured image capturing instruction is supplied from the operation unit 30-1 ′, the capturing unit 30-11 captures the captured image and records the captured image to be registered in the recording unit 30-10 ′ (step S20).

  Thereafter, the reading unit 30-2 ′ checks whether the registration mode is set to the simultaneous registration mode or the individual registration mode (step S21). If the simultaneous registration mode is set in advance, the reading unit 30 -2 'reads the identification information of all the identification tags 20 within the predetermined range A around the non-contact individual identification management device 30' (step S22).

  When the individual registration mode is set in advance, the identification information of the identification tag 20 having the highest received radio wave intensity within the predetermined range A (that is, located closest to the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′) is read. (Step S23).

  The identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading unit 30-2 ′ and the captured image captured by the imaging unit 30-11 are registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage unit 30-10 ′. (Step S24). In the individual registration mode, each identification information and each captured image have a one-to-one correspondence (for each portable object), and in the set registration mode described later, a set (combination) including identification information and a captured image. Are associated with each other (for each set of portable items) and registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ by the control means 30-9 ′.

  Next, the configuration of the identification information registration list 31 ′ in which identification information and captured images are registered as described above will be described in detail. FIG. 11 shows a configuration example of the identification information registration list 31 ′ based on the simultaneous registration mode. 8, 9, 10, and 11, in the simultaneous registration mode, the identification information and the photographed images of all the identification tags 20 attached to the portable object 10 are input as one photographing means activation instruction or registration instruction. Can be registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′. That is, when executing the simultaneous registration mode, the user selects and sets the simultaneous registration mode with the operation unit 30-1 ′, and the predetermined range A (the same range as the range A in FIG. 4) centering on the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′. ), All the identification tags 20 (20-1 to 20-n) to be registered are positioned, and an imaging means activation command or a registration command is input from the operation unit 30-1 ′ (step S17 in FIG. 10).

  At this time, when the position time information registration mode is not set in advance by operating the operation unit 30-1 ′, the storage unit 30-10 ′ stores the identification information of the identification tag 20 and the photographed image as shown in FIG. List-type registration lists 31-1 ′ and 31-3 are created, and the identification information and photographed images of all the identification tags 20 positioned within the predetermined range A are stored in the identification information registration list 31 of the storage means 30-10 ′. Registered with '.

  Although not shown in the figure, when the location time information registration mode is set in advance by operating the operation unit 30-1 ′ in this simultaneous registration mode, the registration lists 31-1 ′ and 31-3 (that is, identification) In the information registration list 31 ′), the registration times acquired by the time information acquisition unit 30-7 and the position information acquisition unit 30-8, respectively, corresponding to the identification information and captured images of all the identification tags 20 within the predetermined range A. Information and registered location information are also registered.

  As described above, the registration lists 31-1 ′ and 31-3 in the simultaneous registration mode only register the identification information and photographed images of all the identification tags 20 that can be acquired as a list by one command input. For this reason, it is not sufficient to confirm which identification tag 20 corresponds to which portable object 10, but it functions sufficiently as a material for determining whether all the portable objects 10 are available.

  Further, when the identification information registration list 31 ′ is used, for example, when the number and types of the portable objects 10 that are usually carried are determined, the identification information and the photographed images related to the identification tags 20 as many as the portable objects 10 are displayed. It is only necessary to register the registration lists 31-1 ′ and 31-3 as a list and attach the identification tags 20 to the portable object 10, respectively. As described above, since registration to the registration lists 31-1 'and 31-3 is completed only by inputting a photographing means activation command or a registration command once, the registration work becomes extremely easy.

  FIG. 12 shows a configuration example of the identification information registration list 31 ′ in which identification information and captured images are registered in the individual registration mode. 8, 9, 10, and 12, in the individual registration mode, identification information and captured images of all the identification tags 20 attached to the portable object 10 are associated with each of the portable objects 10 one by one. It can be registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′. That is, when executing the individual registration mode, the user selects and sets the individual registration mode with the operation unit 30-1 ', and selects one identification tag 20 to be registered in the individual registration work at that time. The identification tag 20 selected in this way is arranged so as to be positioned in the nearest vicinity of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ with respect to the remaining identification tags 20. Then, the user inputs an imaging means activation command or a registration command from the operation unit 30-1 'for registration of the identification tag 20 (step S17 in FIG. 10).

  When the location time information registration mode is not set in advance by the operation of the operation unit 30-1 ′, the storage unit 30-10 ′ stores the identification tag 20 in the registration order (registration number) and the registration order in the individual registration mode. Correspondence with registered identification information and captured images is achieved, and a registration list 31-2 ′ in a format as shown in FIG. 12 is created. The registration list 31-2 ′ has the highest received radio wave intensity for each execution of each registration process in correspondence with the registration order (registration number), that is, the number of executions of the registration process shown in FIG. 10 in the individual registration mode. Identification information and a photographed image of the identification tag 20-m corresponding to the response are registered.

  In FIG. 12, in each registration process, the captured image is taken in by the photographing means 30-11, and the identification information of the identification tag 20-m corresponding to the response with the highest received radio wave intensity is read by the reading means 30-2 ′. The registration list 31-2 ′ in this case is shown. For example, registration is performed by the following input method. That is, in the individual registration mode, as the first registration operation, the identification tag 20 having the identification information “123456789” is arranged at the nearest position with respect to the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′, and then the operation unit 30-1. An imaging device activation command or registration command is input from “,” and the captured image J of the identification tag 20 (and / or the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached) and the identification information as described in detail with reference to FIG. Is registered in the registration list 31-2 ′. In the next registration operation, the identification tag 20 having the identification information “234567890” is arranged in the nearest position with respect to the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ instead of the identification tag 20 having the identification information “123456789”. Similarly, the captured image K and the identification information are registered in the registration list 31-2 ′. Further, in the next registration work, the identification tag 20 having the identification information “345678901” is arranged in the nearest position with respect to the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ instead of the identification tag 20 having the identification information “234567890”. Similarly, the photographed image L and the identification information are registered in the registration list 31-2 ′.

  As described above, in the individual registration mode, the user registers the identification information and the photographed image of the identification tag 20 in the registration list 31-2 'by a simple operation one by one for each identification tag 20. If this registration list 31-2 ′ is used as the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′, it is easy to determine which captured object and identification information of which identification tag 20 corresponds to which portable object 10. become. That is, the corresponding portable object 10 can be immediately recognized from the captured image, or the corresponding portable object 10 can be recognized through the identification tag 20 recognized from the captured image or the identification image.

  When the location time information registration mode is set in advance in the individual registration mode, the registration list 31-2 ′ includes time information corresponding to each identification information regarding one identification tag 20 and each registration of the photographed image. The registration time information and the registered position information acquired by the acquisition unit 30-7 and the position information acquisition unit 30-8 are registered.

  Further, in the above registration work in the individual registration mode, the captured image is taken in by the photographing means 30-11, the identification information of the identification tag 20 is read by the reading means 30-2 ′, and then the mobile phone on which the identification tag 20 is mounted. The individual name (for example, “例 え ば”) of the object 10 may be input by the character input means 30-3. In this case, since the identification information related to one identification tag 20 and the individual name of the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached can be associated with the registration of the photographed image, the identification information of any identification tag 20 and The determination as to which portable object 10 the captured image corresponds to becomes even more reliable.

  Further, in addition to the simultaneous registration mode and the individual registration mode described above, registration may be performed in a set registration mode as described in detail below. That is, in the set registration mode, a plurality of sets (for example, combinations of identification information and photographed images as shown in the registration list 31-2 ′ in FIG. For example, it is registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′. Each of these sets includes, for example, a set I for portable objects J, K, L, a set II for portable objects K, L, M, a set III for portable objects J, K, M, and a set for portable objects M, N, P. In some cases, the same user selectively uses the IV as needed, or a different person uses each of the sets related to the plurality of portable items (for example, the set V related to the portable items J, K, and L is the father). The set VI for the portable items J, K, and L is used by the mother, the set VII for the portable items J, K, and M is used by the older brother, the set VIII for the portable items J, K, and M is used by the younger brother. In other words, when the same user selects and uses a combination of portable items as needed, it is necessary to remember which combination is being used, or the same portable item can be used by multiple people. In the case of joint use, it may be necessary to know who is the portable item in use, so each set above will correspond (for each set of portable items). Are registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′ in association with the control means 30-9 ′.

  Therefore, in the case of set registration mode, when checking (detecting) forgotten items or theft and loss of portable items, it is not necessary to individually detect all registered items as in the case of individual registration mode. As for the list registered as, it is possible to detect forgotten items or lost or stolen items for each set.

  Further, in steps S17 to S23 of FIG. 10, the case where the photographing unit 30-11 is activated → the shutter operation is waited → the shutter operation → the reading unit 30-2 ′ is activated is described. The order of operation and reading device operation is not limited. Accordingly, the activation of the photographing unit 30-11 → the operation of the reading unit 30-2 ′ → the shutter operation is performed in this order, and the identification information received by the reading unit 30-2 ′ and the captured image captured by the photographing unit 30-11 are obtained. It is also possible to register at the same time. In this case, when managing the identification information, it is possible to register with an image without spending much time and labor for inputting the individual name, so that the user's registration work is further facilitated.

  Further, when the registration work is performed by the above-described method, all the identification tags 20 located in the desired range are displayed on the screen of the display unit 30-5 ′ because the shooting range of the shooting unit 30-11 is limited. Not limited to this, a state in which the captured image and the read identification tag 20 cannot be matched, for example, a case where identification information is not obtained and only a captured image is obtained may occur. In such a case, the fact is notified to the user by changing the type of shooting sound emitted by the alarm means 30-4 '. That is, when the identification information of the read identification tag is registered in association with the photographed image captured by the photographing means, and when only the photographed image captured by the photographing means 30-11 is recorded without identification information being obtained. Then, the user is informed of this by changing the type of shooting sound. Thereby, the user can easily know that the captured image to be captured does not match the read identification information.

  Accordingly, the user can take measures such as interrupting the registration work, moving the identification tag 20 to a range that can be read by the reading means 30-2 ', and performing the registration work again.

  On the other hand, a state in which the captured image and the read identification information cannot be matched can be solved by the following method described in detail with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart in the case where the registration process of the identification information registration list is performed using the non-contact individual identification management device of the present embodiment. 8, 9 and 13, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ allows the user 2 to operate the operation unit 30-1 in order to register the identification information of the identification tag 20 and the photographed image in the identification information registration list 31 ′. It is confirmed whether or not an imaging means activation command or a registration command is input from (step S25). When this input is confirmed, when an imaging unit activation instruction or a reading command transmission instruction is supplied from the operation unit 30-1 ′, the imaging unit 30-11 supplies a monitor image to the display unit 30-5 ′. (Step S26), the reading unit 30-2 ′ reads the identification information of all the identification tags 20 within the predetermined range around the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ (Step S27).

  Next, the photographing unit 30-11 confirms whether or not the user has input a captured image capturing instruction from the operation unit 30-1 ′ by a shutter command (step S28), and the captured image capturing instruction is input to the operating unit 30-1. When supplied from “,” a sound is emitted by the alarm means 30-4 ′ to capture the captured image and record it in the recording means 30-10 ′ (step S29).

  Thereafter, the reading unit 30-2 ′ checks whether or not there are a plurality of read identification tags (step S30). If there is no read identification tag, the photographing sound in step S29 is regarded as normal. Tells the user to that effect by using a different tone.

  If the read identification tag 20 is not plural (that is, one), the photographed image and identification information are registered (step S32). If there are a plurality of read identification tags 20, the display means 30-5 'or alarm means 30-4' informs the user that the identification tag 20 has been read, and is used for short distances higher than the frequency read in step S27. The reading means 30-2 ′ is operated at the frequency of The non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ is moved close to the identification tag 20 by a manual operation or automatic operation by the user, and the reading means 30-2 ′ reads the identification information of the identification tag 20 from a short distance (step S31). .

  Thereafter, the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading unit 30-2 ′ and the captured image captured by the imaging unit 30-11 are associated by the control unit 30-9 ′ and registered in the identification information of the storage unit 30-10 ′. It is registered in the list 31 ′ (step S32).

  In step S32, the reading means 30-2 ′ is operated in two stages of low frequency for long distance and high frequency for short distance, so that the control means 30- is compared with the case shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 'can associate the identification information and the captured image more accurately. That is, there is a case where it is necessary to associate the identification information with the photographed image by the control unit 30-9 ′, and the captured image captured due to the photographing range limitation of the photographing unit 30-11 and the read identification information are matched. Even if not, the reading means 30-2 ′ operates in two steps as described above, and also reads the identification information of the identification tag that is outside the imaging range for one of the long distance and the short distance. Therefore, the control means 30-9 ′ can associate the captured image with the identification information more accurately.

  Next, a method for confirming forgotten items, lost or stolen items, etc. related to the portable object 10 with the identification tag 20 registered in the identification information registration list 31 in advance will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining a confirmation process related to the identification tag 20 in which identification information and a photographed image are registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′.

  In FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 14, first, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 'confirms whether or not the user has input a confirmation command from the operation unit 30-1' (step S33). When the confirmation command is input, a transmission instruction is supplied from the operation unit 30-1 'based on the confirmation command, and the reading unit 30-2' transmits the reading command. A response transmitted from the identification tag 20 in response to the transmission of the reading command is received by the reading unit 30-2 ′, and in the same manner as in the simultaneous registration mode described above, The identification information of all the identification tags 20 within the predetermined range A is read by the reading unit 30-2 ′ (step S34).

  In this way, the identification information of all the identification tags 20 read by the reading means 30-2 ′ and all the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′ are controlled. 9 'compares (step S35). This comparison result is notified to the user, for example, by being displayed on the display means 30-5 '. In particular, when there is identification information that does not match the identification information of the identification tag 20 read by the reading means 30-2 ′ in the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′. (Step S36) warns the registration cancellation information to the identification information registration list 31 ′ (step S37).

  Thereafter, the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′ associates the deregistration time information and deregistration position information with the identification information registration list 31 corresponding to the identification information that does not match the identification information registered in the identification information registration list 31. 'Is registered as history information (step S38).

  The registration cancellation information in step S37 is the identification tag 20 read by the reading means 30-2 ′ in the identification information and image information registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ of the storage means 30-10 ′. Current time information (registration release time information) acquired by the time information acquisition means 30-7 and current position information acquired by the position information acquisition means 30-8 when there is identification information that does not match the identification information of (Registration release position information).

  Further, the warning in the step S37 is a warning sound generated by the warning means 30-4 ′, a warning display by characters by the display means 30-5 ′, or a photographed image registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′. It is performed by a highlighting method that emphasizes the display contents, such as blinking display at 30-5 ′ or increasing the brightness. In particular, highlighting such as blinking of a captured image can most effectively tell the user what identification tag is warned. As a result, the user can quickly know that the portable object 10 has been forgotten or lost.

  Further, in the confirmation processing in steps S33 to S37, it has been described that the confirmation instruction from the operation unit 30-1 ′ by the user is executed by manual input. However, the user previously operates the operation unit 30-1 ′ with a predetermined period. Alternatively, if an automatic confirmation mode is set so that a confirmation command is automatically input at a predetermined time, the operation unit 30-1 ′ confirms with the reading unit 30-2 ′ when a predetermined period or a predetermined time comes. The reading command transmission instruction for is automatically output. Thereby, in the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′, the confirmation processing in steps S <b> 33 to S <b> 37 is repeated, and it is possible to detect the registration cancellation warning, that is, the loss of theft at any time. Therefore, when the portable object 10 is lost or stolen, the user can immediately know that the identification tag 20 and the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached are lost.

  Hereinafter, the registration lists 31-1 ′ and 31-3 based on the simultaneous registration mode shown in FIG. 11 are registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ with respect to the effect of the confirmation process of the non-contact individual identification management device 30 ′. A case where the registration list 31-2 ′ based on the individual registration mode shown in FIG. 12 is registered will be described as an example.

  The user usually decides the number and types of portable items 10 to be carried, and the identification information and photographed images of the identification tags 20 attached to these portable items 10 are registered in the registration lists 31-1 ′ and 31-3 in the simultaneous registration mode. In such a case, a confirmation command is input from the operation unit 30-1 ′ by the user's manual input or automatic input (step S33 in FIG. 14). If this input is confirmed, if any one of the portable information 10 related to the identification information and the photographed image registered at the same time is lost or stolen, the determination process shown in step S36 of FIG. In the warning process shown in step S37 of FIG. 14, the warning sound is generated by the warning means 30-4 ′, the warning display by characters on the display means 30-5 ′, or the captured image is highlighted by blinking. Emphasis (warning) is displayed. For this reason, the user can easily confirm the forgotten thing of the portable object 10 with the identification tag 20 or the occurrence of theft loss.

  In the case of the identification information registration list 31-2 'shown in FIG. 12, the identification information and the photographed image of the identification tag 20 are registered in association with the portable object 10 that the user usually carries. Further, if necessary, the identification information and the name of the portable object 10 to which the identification tag 20 is attached for each captured image are also registered. Therefore, if any of the portable objects 10 is lost or stolen, the determination process shown in step S36 of FIG. 14 does not determine that “all are complete”, as in the case of the simultaneous registration mode described above. In step S37, the warning means 30-4 and the display means 30-5 'give a warning, and the user easily confirms that the portable object 10 with the identification tag 20 is left behind or lost. be able to.

  On the other hand, FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram when the portable object list is displayed in the area 30-5-3 of the display means 30-5 'in the non-contact individual identification management device 30' of the present embodiment. In this figure, the same symbols as those in FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 are used with the same meaning, and redundant explanations are omitted here. Further, by operating the operation unit 30-1 ′ of FIG. 15, a portable object list similar to the portable object list displayed on the display means 30-5 of FIG. 1 is displayed in the area 30-5-3 of FIG. Can be displayed. That is, the result of comparison in the comparison process shown in step S35 of FIG. 14, the warning process shown in step S37 of FIG. 14, and the like can be shown in an area 30-5-3 of FIG. Further, as shown in an area 30-5-3 in FIG. 15, a captured image of the portable object 10 within the predetermined range A (for example, corresponding to the captured image registered in the identification information registration list 31 ′ (for example, The photographed image J) is displayed as “◯”, and the photographed image of the portable object 10 outside the predetermined range A (for example, photographed image K) is displayed as, for example, “X”, thereby enabling the individual confirmation of the portable object 10. Become. By such individual confirmation, the user can more easily know forgotten things of the portable object 10 with the identification tag 20 or the loss of theft. Further, instead of such “x” display, for example, the characters “None” are displayed in the region 30-5-3, or the captured image (for example, the captured image K) is blinked. Individual confirmation of the portable object 10 is possible.
