Description

  The present invention relates to a target area absence detection notification system, a name tag, and a management center device, and relates to a system that prevents absence of workers such as nurses and sales staff in a target area such as a hospital nurse station or a mass retailer sales site. .

  At hospital nurse stations and mass retailer sales sites, it has been required to avoid the absence of nurses and sales staff, and conventionally the last person in the target area has called back another person. , Went out of the target area. However, when an emergency errand occurs, the last person may not be able to wait for the time to call back another person, and may inevitably leave, leaving no one in the target area and causing a security problem. There was a case.

In order to ensure security, monitoring with a camera or the like is common, but it is positioned as a verification means after the situation occurs or is a threatening purpose, and it is difficult to target in advance. Moreover, although the radio | wireless system which notifies the said person that it entered into the management area is proposed by patent document 1, it cannot prevent that the worker in an area is absent.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-296761

  The present invention solves the conventional problem, and there is a need for crime prevention in an area where information assets and article assets are stored or exhibited and where third parties cannot be controlled. The purpose is to provide a system that detects that the number of people has decreased and has a worker outside the area return to prevent a security problem from occurring.

    The present invention comprises a name tag attached by a worker, a location reading device that detects the location of the name tag, and a management center device that receives name tag location information from the location reading device, and the number of workers in the target area is predetermined. The name tag has an authentication function for each worker and is equipped with a wireless mobile device, and the location reading device has a location within the target area. The management center device counts the number of name tags located in the target area, and the number of workers in the target area does not satisfy the predetermined number. It is a target area absence detection system having a function of notifying a worker via a name tag wireless mobile device when judged.

  In the present invention, when the management center apparatus determines that the number of workers in the target area does not satisfy the predetermined number, the management center device uses the wireless mobile device of the name tag and is adjacent to the target area. This is a target area absence detection system that notifies a worker in an area to return to the target area.

  And this invention has the authentication function for every worker, and is equipped with the radio | wireless mobile machine, The report that the number of workers does not have a predetermined number of workers in a target area via this radio | wireless mobile machine. It is a name tag to receive.

  Furthermore, the present invention is a management center device that receives worker position information from a location reading device that detects a position of a name tag attached by a worker, and counts the number of name tags located in the target area, When it is determined that there is no predetermined number of workers, the management center device has a function of notifying the worker that there is no predetermined number of workers in the target area via the wireless mobile device of the name tag.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to detect that the number of people in the area has decreased and to have a worker outside the area return to prevent a security problem from occurring.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
An embodiment of a target area absence detection notification system, a name tag, and a management center apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, in the embodiment, a worker is referred to as a nurse and a target area is referred to as a nurse station. However, the present invention can also be applied to sales staff and mass retailer sales sites.

  Examples will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the system of this embodiment includes a name tag, a location reading device 2, and a management center device. The name tags 1, 1 a to d have an authentication function for identifying an individual for each nurse and are equipped with a wireless mobile device, which each nurse attaches. When receiving a report by a wireless mobile device, it is also possible to receive the report by means such as a lamp or voice. The location reading device is composed of a location reading device main body (wireless fixed base station) 2 and radio base stations 2a to 2e, and the radio base stations 2a to 2e are respectively the name tags 1a to 1d (and nurses) existing at a short distance. The presence is detected and the detected name tags 1a to 1d are notified to the location reading device main body 2. The radio base stations 2a to 2e are installed on the ceiling, for example, and cover a narrow range, for example, a range of several meters, so that the location of the name tags (and nurses) detected by the radio base stations 2a to 2e can be accurately determined. Can know. For example, the name tag 1a (and nurse) detected by the radio base station 2a is found in the nurse station (target area). Similarly, the name tag 1b (and nurse) detected by the radio base station 2b is the nurse station (target). It can be seen that the area is adjacent to (Area). It can also be seen that the name tags 1c to 1d (and nurses) detected by the radio base stations 2c to 2e are located in a hospital room or a corridor. The location reading apparatus main body 2 transmits name tag detection position information to the management center apparatus 3 for the name tags 1a to 1d notified from the radio base stations 2a to 2e.

  The management center device 3 receives the name tag detection position information of the name tags 1a to 1d from the location reading device body 2, knows the location of the name tags 1a to 1d (and nurses), and the number of nurses in the nurse station (target area). Can be grasped. The number of nurses to be at the nurse station is set in advance, and when the number of personnel to be present, for example, 1 is interrupted, the management center device 3 notifies the name tag that the nurse station is absent. Report to the wireless mobile device. When making a report, it is possible to report only to the wireless mobile device of the nurse's name tag 1b in the vicinity area if the nurse knows the nurse in the vicinity area of the nurse station.

  An example of the absence detection notification process in the target area absence detection notification system of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Start (S200), the nurse wears a name tag (S201). The location reading device detects the position of the nurse (S202). The management center apparatus grasps the position of the entire nurse (S203). It is determined whether there is a required number of nurses in the specific area (S204). If the required number is present, it is determined that it is safe (S205), and the process ends (S210). If it is determined in step S204 that there is no necessary number, a nurse in the neighboring area is determined (S206). Then, a notification is sent back to the nurse station (S207), and the nurse in the neighboring area receives the notification (S208), returns to the designated area, confirms safety (S209), and ends (S210). In this manner, absence detection notification processing can be performed, and the number of necessary nurses in the nurse station can be ensured.
