Description

The present invention relates to a binder type information processing apparatus capable of storing a plurality of documents in which IC chips are embedded.

  In recent years, electronic tags (IC tags, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), wireless tags) that can read data without contact are used for managing products (commodities) and packages. For example, by attaching an electronic tag to a product (product) and installing an information processing device that can read data from the electronic tag near the route through which the product (product) passes, the operator can It is possible to detect that a product (product) has passed near the information processing apparatus without performing a special operation for reading. As a result, shipping management, inventory management, sales management, etc. of products (goods) can be performed automatically, and work efficiency in the logistics and distribution industries is improved.

  A delivery slip that uses such an electronic tag (IC tag) to contribute to the efficiency of delivery work is also considered (for example, Patent Document 1). In the delivery slip described in Patent Document 1, an IC tag provided with a rewrite surface that can be repeatedly printed on the surface is provided in a separable manner so that it can be printed on a printer with the IC tag adhered. The same barcode as the slip number is printed on the IC tag, and delivery information including the slip number, information having the same contents as the information specifying the delivery area, and the like are written in the memory of the IC tag. Then, after the delivery work of the delivery product using this delivery slip is completed, the IC tag is peeled off, and the data input to the memory and the barcode printed on the rewrite layer are erased so that they can be used again. .

  Conventionally, only one electronic tag (IC chip) is attached to one product (product), and a product (product) to which an electronic tag is attached or a delivery slip described in Patent Document 1 The position in was not particularly meaningful.

  In the delivery slip of Patent Document 1, a unique barcode corresponding to a delivery item is printed on one IC tag. Therefore, since the barcode and the IC tag correspond one-to-one, it is pasted at any position. It may be attached.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-211170

  As described above, conventionally, an electronic tag (IC tag) is attached to a product (product), a delivery slip, and the like to be used for shipping management, inventory management, sales management, and the like to improve work efficiency. However, the electronic tag (IC tag) only records information for identifying a product (product), or delivery information related to a delivery product as described in Patent Document 1, information on a delivery area, and the like. That is, a single piece of information of a product (product) itself that has been visible by printing in the past is recorded as data in an electronic tag and can be automatically read out by an information processing apparatus.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a usage pattern of the information processing apparatus 1 in the first embodiment. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described using an example in which the information processing apparatus 1 is configured as a wristwatch so that it can be easily carried. Note that the information processing apparatus 1 is not limited to a wristwatch type, and may be configured in other forms such as a personal computer, a PDA, and a mobile phone.

  The information processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with a display unit 13 (liquid crystal display) and a touch panel 14 on the upper surface of the apparatus housing main body, so that display contents can be confirmed when worn on the wrist (wrist). Input operation can be made easily. The chip reading unit 18 is provided so as to be positioned on the opposite side of the apparatus housing body and the arm when the information processing apparatus 1 is mounted on the arm. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, when the apparatus housing body is mounted on the back side of the hand so that the display surface is up, the chip reading unit 18 is provided on the palm side. As a result, it is possible to check the contents by displaying information based on the read data while the chip reading unit 18 is brought close to the printed material and data is read from the chip embedded in the printed material.

  In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a chip embedded circuit diagram 20 is targeted as a printed matter. The chip-embedded circuit diagram 20 is used, for example, when maintenance work is performed on an electronic device (equipment). At a maintenance point (position to be subjected to maintenance work) in the electronic circuit diagram (design drawing), A chip (electronic tag) 20a in which data for assisting maintenance work at this point is recorded is embedded. The chip 20a is embedded at a plurality of maintenance points set in the circuit diagram (design drawing), that is, at positions corresponding to printed circuits (objects). In FIG. 2, the chip 20 a is represented by a black square mark, but the chip 20 a embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 does not need to be directly visible, and printing indicating that it is a maintenance point, that is, the chip It may be just printed that 20a is embedded.

  FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C show an example of a structure in which a chip is embedded in a printed material (chip embedded circuit diagram 20).

  FIG. 3A shows an example in which the chip 20a is embedded in a sheet (paper medium). Since the chip 20a (electronic tag) can be configured to be an extremely small size of about several millimeters square and thinner than the paper medium, it is embedded in a predetermined position in advance when the paper 20b is generated. The paper 20b is printed by a printer device or the like, so that a printing layer 20c is formed on the upper surface portion thereof.

  FIG. 3B shows an example in which the chip 20a is embedded (pasted) on the upper surface of the paper 20b. The chip 20a is attached to the surface of the paper 20b, for example, by printing (mixed and mixed with ink) or by the printer device at the same time as printing on the paper 20b.

  FIG. 3C shows an example in which the chip 20a is embedded (attached) on the lower surface of the paper 20b. As shown in FIG. 3C, the printed surface of the paper 20b can be made uniform by sticking the chip 20a to the lower surface of the paper 20b, and the printing layer 20c can be stably formed by printing. be able to.

  Note that the printed matter shown in FIG. 3C can be created by performing printing while attaching the chip 20a to the printing paper by the chip attaching printer device 40 shown in the fifth embodiment to be described later.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
Here, it is assumed that the maintenance work is performed on the circuit mounted on the circuit board with reference to the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 shown in FIG.

  First, the operator activates the information processing apparatus 1 so that data can be read from the chip 20a embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20, and the information processing apparatus 1 is placed on the surface of the chip embedded circuit diagram 20, that is, the circuit. Close to the circuit part to be the maintenance point in the figure.

  Thereby, the chip reading unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 1 reads the data recorded on the chip 20a embedded in the circuit portion as the maintenance point printed on the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 by electromagnetic induction by radio wave irradiation ( Step A1).

  The CPU 10 stores the data read from the chip 20a by the chip reading unit 18 in the RAM 16 (step A2).

  Here, when data can be read from the plurality of chips 20a by the chip reading unit 18, data is read from all the chips 20a that can be read, and the data read from each chip 20a is stored. (Steps A1 to A3).

  Here, when reading has been completed for all the readable chips 20a (step A3, Yes), the CPU 10 will read each chip 20a when data has been read from the plurality of chips 20a (step A4, Yes). A summary based on the data read from the above is displayed on the display unit 13 (step A5).

  For example, when a plurality of circuits as maintenance points are close to each other in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20, data is read from a plurality of chips 20a embedded corresponding to each point. In such a case, for example, the positions and circuit names of the respective maintenance points are displayed as a summary (corresponding to output means).

  Here, when any one of the outlines corresponding to each of the plurality of chips 20a is selected by an operation on the touch panel 14 or the input unit 12, the CPU 10 converts the data read from the chip 20a corresponding to the selected outline to the data read from the chip 20a. The corresponding information is output (step A7 (corresponding to display means)).

  For example, FIG. 2 shows an example in which information related to maintenance work is displayed on the display unit 13. In the display example shown in FIG. 2, the maintenance position, the name of the circuit to be maintained, and the detailed contents of the maintenance work are described. The details of the maintenance work include the part type name, work content, work method, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, not only characters but also images (still images, moving images) can be displayed, and information can be output from the audio output unit 19 by sound. For example, the details (enlarged view) of the design drawing can be displayed, the procedure of the maintenance work can be displayed as a moving image, or the operation content can be output as a voice at each stage of the maintenance work.

  Thus, based on the data read from the chip 20a embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20, it is possible to easily output information necessary for work at the maintenance point in the printed circuit diagram.

  Here, a summary list corresponding to the plurality of previously displayed chips 20a is displayed, and any one is arbitrarily selected in the same manner as described above, and information corresponding to the data read from the chip 20a is output. Can do.

  When reading of the chip 20a at another maintenance point is executed (step A1), the same processing as described above is executed (steps A1 to A7).

  In addition, when the worker refers to the information output by the information processing apparatus 1 and completes the work at the maintenance point, the worker inputs that fact from the input unit 12. The CPU 10 records the work completion data in association with the data read from the chip 20a in response to the work end input input from the input unit 12. The work completion data recorded here is notified as a work completion confirmation report to be described later.

  Here, when the end of the maintenance work is input by the operator (step A8, Yes), the CPU 10 has completed the maintenance work set in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20, that is, embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20. It is confirmed whether the reading for all the chips 20a has been completed (step A9).

  Completion of reading of all the chips 20a determines, for example, what kind of chip embedded circuit diagram 20 is used for maintenance work from data read from any one of the chips 20a (for example, data indicating a maintenance position). Then, it can be confirmed whether the reading of the number of chips 20a embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 has been completed. Chip Embedding Circuit The number of chips 20a embedded in FIG. 20 may be recorded in advance in the recording device 17 of the information processing apparatus 1, or may be recorded in each chip 20a. In this case, the number of chips 20a that newly read data in step A1 is counted, and the completion of reading is confirmed using this number. Further, when the reading order for the chip 20a is determined, it is possible to determine that the reading is completed when the last set chip 20a is read.

  Here, the CPU 10 automatically confirms the completion of work by communication with a preset transmission destination, for example, a center device that manages maintenance work (installed in the headquarters where maintenance workers are dispatched). A report is transmitted (step A10). The work completion confirmation report includes work completion data data for each maintenance point (chip 20a). The work completion confirmation report is transmitted by e-mail or other notification methods, for example.

  The information processing apparatus 1 receives a response from the center apparatus with respect to the work completion confirmation report. CPU10 complete | finishes a process, when the response from a center apparatus shows that reading is completed about all the chips | tips 20a.

  On the other hand, when the center device responds that the reading of all the chips 20a is not completed from the work completion confirmation report, that is, when the work for all the maintenance points is not completed, or a predetermined maintenance point When an additional maintenance point other than is notified from the center apparatus, the CPU 10 outputs a confirmation instruction indicating that the reading is not completed and notifies the worker (step A12). The worker executes a maintenance work according to the notification from the center apparatus and finishes the work.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the reading of all the chips 20a is confirmed by transmitting the work completion confirmation report. However, the access that has been confirmed by the information processing apparatus 1 and has not been read. The point (chip 20a) may be determined and presented to the operator.

  In this way, when performing maintenance work of equipment, etc., using the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 corresponding to the equipment to be worked, data is read from the chip 20a embedded in the maintenance point in the circuit diagram, It is possible to output information effective for the maintenance work for the maintenance point.

  For example, the operator can output information necessary for the maintenance work only by bringing the information processing apparatus 1 attached to the arm close to the chip-embedded circuit diagram 20, so that the efficiency of the maintenance work can be improved.

  Note that the information is output based on the data read from the chip 20a embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20. However, if the data to be output can be recorded on the chip 20a, this data is recorded. May be output by display or voice.

  Further, only data indicating a maintenance point (for example, a maintenance position (represented by a code or a number), a position on the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 (XY coordinates), etc.)) is recorded on the chip 20a, and this data is recorded in this data. The corresponding data to be output may be recorded in advance in the information processing apparatus 1 (recording apparatus 17). The CPU 10 searches the recording device 17 for information corresponding to the data read from the chip 20a, and outputs the corresponding information by display or voice. In this case, more information can be provided to the worker, and even when the information content (maintenance work content, procedure, etc.) is changed, only the information recorded in the recording device 17 is changed. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the need for a change to the chip embedded circuit diagram 20.

  Furthermore, the data recorded in the plurality of chips 20a embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 can be associated with each other. For example, the reading order for the plurality of chips 20a is determined in accordance with a predetermined maintenance procedure, and data indicating the chips 20a before and after the order is recorded in each chip 20a. Thereby, based on the data read from a certain chip 20a, the chip 20a (maintenance point, circuit name, etc.) to be read next can be output and the maintenance procedure can be shown to the operator.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a chip embedded map 22 is targeted as a printed matter.

  In the chip embedded map 22, chips (electronic tags) 22a and 22b in which data related to the important points are recorded are embedded at respective positions that are important points in the map. Key points (objects) in the map include map information such as roads (intersections, branches, junctions, etc.), important facilities (public facilities, buildings), monuments, sightseeing points, tourist facilities, etc. . On the chips 22a and 22b, in addition to data such as addresses on important points printed on these maps, access methods to related places, tourist information, images, history, etc., data recorded on other chips 22a and 22b (For example, route data between important points for creating route guidance) is recorded. The chips 22a and 22b can store data such as images (still images and moving images) and audio in addition to character data relating to important points.

  In FIG. 5, an example in which a chip 22a is embedded at a location (facility / building) that is a key point of the map and a chip 22b is embedded at a road (intersection, branch, etc.) that is a key location on the map. Show. In FIG. 5, the chip 22a is represented by a black square mark, and the chip 22b is represented by a white square mark. However, the chips 22 and 22b embedded in the chip embedded circuit diagram 20 do not have to be directly visible.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the user activates the information processing apparatus 1 so that a mode selection input is possible. In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment, for example, based on the data read from the chip embedded map 22, the information output mode for outputting information on the position where the chips 22 a and 22 b are embedded, and the read data It is possible to set a route guidance mode for outputting route guidance.

  The CPU 10 displays a mode selection screen on the display unit 13 and inputs an instruction to select one of the information output mode and the route guidance mode from the touch panel 14 or the input unit 12 (step B1).

  When the information output mode is selected, facility-related information is output based on data read from the chip 22a of the chip-embedded map 22, or road-related based on data read from the chip 22b. It is possible to select whether to output information. Furthermore, it is assumed that the information output form can be selected for character display, image display, audio output, and the like.

Hereinafter, a case where the information output mode is selected will be described (step B2, Yes).
First, the CPU 10 makes the data of the chips 22a and 22b embedded in the chip embedded map 22 readable, and makes the information processing apparatus 1 the surface of the chip embedded map 22, that is, a facility or road that requires information in the map. Move close to the position where is printed.

  Thereby, the chip reading unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 1 reads the data recorded on the chips 22a and 22b embedded in the facility and road printed on the chip embedded map 22 by electromagnetic induction by radio wave irradiation (step B1). ).

  The CPU 10 stores the data read from the chips 22a and 22b by the chip reading unit 18 in the RAM 16 by selecting either the information designated in the mode selection, that is, the facility-related information or the road-related information (Step 1). B2).

  Here, when data can be read from the plurality of chips 22a and 22b by the chip reading unit 18, the data is read from all the chips 22a and 22b that can be read and read from the respective chips 22a and 22b. Data is stored (steps B3 to B5).

  Here, when reading is completed for all the readable chips 22a and 22b (step B5, Yes), the CPU 10 reads data from the plurality of chips 22a and 22b (step B6, Yes). An outline based on the data read from each of the chips 22a and 22b is displayed on the display unit 13 (step B7).

  For example, when important points are close to each other in the chip-embedded map 22, data is read from a plurality of chips 22a and 22b embedded corresponding to the respective important points. In such a case, for example, the name of each important point is displayed as a summary.

  FIG. 7 shows a display example of facility related information. In FIG. 7A, for example, when an operation of reading the chip 22a embedded in the position of “XX temple” on the chip embedded map 22 is performed, the positions of “XX temple” and “XX temple” in the vicinity thereof are displayed. Since data is also read from the embedded chip 22a, "XX temple", "XX temple", and "XX temple" are displayed in a list.

  Here, when any one of a plurality of important point names is selected by an operation on the touch panel 14 or the input unit 12 (step B8), the CPU 10 selects the chips 22a and 22b corresponding to the selected important point names. The information corresponding to the data read from is output (step B9).

  For example, FIG. 7A shows an example in which information about “XX temple” (for example, route explanation) based on data read from the chip 22a is displayed by selecting “XX temple”. Yes. Here, information can be scrolled and displayed by operating the scroll bar.

  When an image is selected as the information output mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 7B, an enlarged map around a key point can be displayed.

  Thus, based on the data read from the chips 22a and 22b embedded in the chip embedding map 22, information on the printed important points can be easily output.

  Here, a list of outlines (names of key points) corresponding to the plurality of previously displayed chips 22a and 22b is displayed, and any one is arbitrarily selected and read from the chips 22a and 22b in the same manner as described above. Information corresponding to the data can be output.

  When the output of facility related information is selected (step B10), the CPU 10 can accept a connection request by communication with the facility by an input operation on the input unit 12 or the touch panel 14. Here, when a connection request is input (step B11, Yes), the CPU 10 accesses, for example, a home page related to the facility, sends an e-mail addressed to the facility, based on the data read from the chip 22a, Alternatively, processing such as line connection is performed so that a voice call can be made. In this case, an address (connection destination data) indicating a connection destination, for example, a URL (uniform resource locator), an e-mail address, or the like is recorded on the chip 22a.

  In this way, by reading data from the chips 22a and 22b embedded in the chip embedded map 22, information such as facilities at important points recorded in the chip embedded map 22 can be obtained from a homepage or the like, an inquiry by e-mail, etc. Or you can make a phone call. For example, on the basis of information read from a chip embedded in a tourist information map (or pamphlet or the like), it is possible to connect directly to accommodation facilities in a tourist area and smoothly check vacant rooms or make reservations.

  Here, when the processing is not ended (step B13) and the reading of the chips 22a and 22b at another important point is executed, the same processing as described above is executed (steps B1 to B12).

  In the above description, after reading data from all of the readable chips 22a and 22b, the information specified in the mode selection is selected and recorded. However, when reading data from the chips 22a and 22b, Only the data corresponding to the information specified in the mode selection may be read out.

  For example, when the facility-related information output is set, the data from the chip 22a is read, and when only the image display is selected as the information output form, only the data related to the image is read and the character is read. The data related to the voice may not be read out.

  Next, the case where the route guidance mode is selected in the mode selection will be described (step B2, No).

  First, when the route guidance mode is selected, the CPU 10 performs an output (display, sound) for instructing execution of data reading from a chip on the route from the start position to the destination on the chip embedded map 22. (Step B14). That is, since the user does not move the information processing apparatus 1 close to the chip embedded map 22 to the destination according to the route to be passed from the start position, the chip embedded in the chip embedded map 22 Data reading from 22a and 22b is executed.

  Therefore, when the start of data reading from the chips 22a and 22b is instructed from the touch panel 14 or the input unit 12 (step B15), the CPU 10 starts reading data by the chip reading unit 18, and the chip reading unit 18 starts the chip reading. Data read from 22a and 22b is stored in the RAM 16 (steps B16 and B17).

  The CPU 10 reads data from each of the chips 22a and 22b on the route to the destination until the end of reading is instructed from the input unit 12 or the touch panel 14, and sequentially stores the read data in the RAM 16.

  When the end of reading is input, that is, when the data reading from each of the chips 22a and 22b on the route to the destination is completed (No in Step B18), the CPU 10 reads the chip from the start position stored in the RAM 16 to the destination. Based on the data read from 22a and 22b, route guidance data (output data) for outputting route guidance is created (step B19).

  Here, the chips 22a and 22b embedded at each important point of the chip-embedded map 22 can pass from one important point on the route to the next important point, for example, data related to the route to the peripheral important points. Data such as a target road as a landmark of the route, a distance, a required time, and a landscape image from the important point to the route direction (traveling direction) are recorded. Therefore, the CPU 10 continuously reads data from the plurality of chips 22a and 22b, thereby creating a route to the destination intended by the user and providing information on the route in response to a request from the user. Can do.

  When the creation of the route guidance data is completed, the CPU 10 outputs route guidance according to this data (characters, images, sounds, etc.). The route guidance data is created so that, for example, information on the route to the next important point on the route at each important point can be output in stages, and is input from the input unit 12 or the touch panel 14 in accordance with an information update instruction. Then, information of each stage (up to the next important point) is sequentially output (steps B20, B21, Yes (stage information output means)).

  Therefore, when a user arrives at a certain important point, the user inputs an information update instruction, so that information on the route to the next important point, for example, the target as a mark of the route, the distance to the next important point, etc. It is possible to output more detailed information that is not acquired from the map, such as a required time, a landscape image from a key point to a route direction (traveling direction), and proceed based on the information. Thus, the destination can be reached with reference to the route guidance information sequentially output from the information processing apparatus 1.

  CPU10 will complete | finish a process, if completion | finish is instruct | indicated (step B22, Yes).

  In this way, a plurality of chips 22a, 22b are simply read by tracing the chips 22a, 22b embedded at the key points on the route from the start point printed on the chip embedded map 22 to the destination. The route guidance to the destination can be output based on the data read from. That is, a simple navigation system can be configured by the chip embedded map 22 and the information processing apparatus 1 that are easy to handle.

  In the route guidance mode processing described above, it has been described that data is collectively read from a plurality of chips 22a and 22b embedded in advance on the route from the start position to the destination. You may make it instruct | indicate chip | tip 22a, 22b used as the object of data reading.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the route guidance mode processing in this case. FIG. 8 corresponds to steps B14 to B22 of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when the route guidance mode is selected, the CPU 10 outputs (display, sound) to instruct execution of data reading from the start position on the chip embedded map 22 and the chip embedded at the destination ( Step C1).

  For example, when a data reading execution instruction is input from the touch panel 14 or the input unit 12, the CPU 10 causes the chip reading unit 18 to read data from the chips 22 a and 22 b at that time, and the read data is stored in the RAM 16. (Step C2). Therefore, by instructing the reading execution with the chip reading unit 18 in the vicinity of each of the starting point and the destination, data is read from the chips 22a and 22b embedded at the starting point and the destination. Can be read.

  The CPU 10 determines the location on the map of the chips 22a and 22b to be read next to the start position based on the data read from the start position and the chips 22a and 22b embedded in the destination (step C3).

  Here, in the chips 22a and 22b embedded at each important point of the chip embedded map 22, data indicating the positional relationship with the peripheral important points, for example, the chips 22a and 22b positioned in the east, west, south, and north directions are embedded. Data indicating the location is recorded. Therefore, the CPU 10 can determine the location on the map to be read next, depending on which direction the destination is located with reference to the start position. When a plurality of important points are determined as candidates, a plurality of important points may be displayed and selected by the user.

  Here, if the chips 22a and 22b to be read next do not correspond to the destination (No in Step C4), the CPU 10 has determined that the chips 22a and 22b to be read next are embedded in Step C3. An output for notifying the user of the important place is performed (step C5).

  For example, in the map shown in FIG. 9A, it is assumed that data is read from a chip 22a embedded at a station as a start position and at a facility location as a destination. In this case, a gas station located in the south direction from the station is determined as the next map location to be read on the basis of the station at the start position (the destination is located on the south side of the station). Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, the CPU 10 displays a message prompting the user to read data from the chip 22a embedded at the position of the gas station located in the south direction of the station.

  Here, when data is read from the chip 22a embedded at the gas station position of the chip embedded map 22 in accordance with the message (step C6), the CPU 10 stores this data in the RAM 16 (step C7).

  Then, the CPU 10 outputs route guidance (information) corresponding to the data read from the chip 22a (step C8). For example, FIG. 9C shows an example in which an enlarged map in the direction of the destination is displayed as route guidance from the gas station where the chip 22a where the data is read is located. In addition, about the form of route guidance, various forms, such as description by a character and a voice, an image display, can be used.

  The CPU 10 determines the location of the chips 22a and 22b to be read next on the map based on the data read from the chip 22a, and performs the same processing as described above until the destination is reached. Repeatedly (steps C3 to C8 () corresponding to read information output means).

  In this way, the data recorded in the chips 22a and 22b embedded in the important points of the chip embedded map 22 are sequentially read from the start point to the destination, and route guidance is output based on this data. Can do.

  The chips 22a and 22b store only data (eg, codes, numbers, latitude / longitude) indicating important points on the map, and data to be output corresponding to the data is processed in advance. It may be recorded in the device 1 (recording device 17). The CPU 10 searches the recording device 17 for information corresponding to the data read from the chips 22a and 22b, and outputs the corresponding information by display or sound. In this case, more information can be provided to the user, and even when the content of the information is changed, it can be dealt with only by changing the information recorded in the recording device 17. Changes to the embedded map 22 can be made unnecessary.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a chip-embedded book 24 is targeted as a printed matter. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment is connected to other information that is connected by short-range wireless communication (for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark)) based on the data read from the chip 24 a embedded in the paper of the chip embedded book 24. A predetermined process can be requested to the electronic device.

  In the third embodiment, for example, by transmitting the character code read from the chip 24 a to the electronic dictionary terminal 25, it is possible to request execution of a Japanese-English dictionary search process for the character string represented by the character code. To do. In the chip-embedded book 24, a chip 24a is embedded at a predetermined position of a character string (for example, a word, a idiom, a margin note, etc.) printed on paper, and the character code of the character string printed on the chip 24a is embedded. (Column) is recorded.

  The electronic dictionary terminal 25 is a device configured as an electronic dictionary, for example, and is provided with a function capable of communicating with the information processing apparatus 1.

  Next, operations of the information processing apparatus 1 and the electronic dictionary terminal 25 in the third embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 11A is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 and FIG. 11B is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the electronic dictionary terminal 25.

  First, in order to examine the translation of words (English words) printed on the paper surface of the chip-embedded book 24, the user sets the chip reading unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 1 to a position where the corresponding word is printed. Read data.

  The CPU 10 stores the data read by the chip reading unit 18, here the character code (sequence) in the RAM 16, and transmits it to the electronic dictionary terminal 25 by the short-range wireless communication through the communication control unit 15. ) Is requested to execute dictionary search processing (steps D1 and D2).

  On the other hand, when the electronic dictionary terminal 25 receives the search target data (character code (sequence)) together with the dictionary search request from the information processing apparatus 1 (Yes in step E1), the electronic dictionary terminal 25 uses the received data as a basis. A Japanese-English dictionary (database) is searched, and translation data corresponding to this data is acquired (step E2).

  The electronic dictionary terminal 25 displays the translated word data obtained by the dictionary search process on the display device, for example, and transmits it to the information processing device 1 (steps E3 and E4).

  When the communication control unit 15 receives data from the electronic dictionary terminal 25 (step D3), the CPU 10 of the information processing apparatus 1 records the received translated word data in the RAM 16 and displays the translated word data on the display unit 13. (Step D5).

  Thereafter, until the end of the process is instructed (step D6, Yes), the CPU 10 transmits a search request for data read from the chip 24a by the chip reading unit 18 to the electronic dictionary terminal 25 and receives the search result. Can be output (steps D1 to D5).

  In FIG. 10, the character code string of this word is acquired from the chip 24 a embedded in the position of the word “reform” printed on the paper surface of the chip embedded book 24, and a search request is sent to the electronic dictionary terminal 25. An example of a display screen in the case of having been performed is shown. In this case, on each of the display screen of the electronic dictionary terminal 25 and the display screen of the information processing apparatus 1, data relating to the translated word as the dictionary search result, for example, “revise (reform social system, situation, etc.), reform ...” It is displayed.

  In this way, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the electronic dictionary terminal 25 to perform a dictionary search based on data representing a word or the like read from the chip 24a embedded in the chip embedded book 24 (paper). The search result can be received and output. Thus, it is not necessary to install dictionary data (database), a dictionary search application, or the like in the information processing apparatus 1. Therefore, even if the dictionary data is changed, it is not necessary to change the information processing apparatus 1, and therefore it can be easily handled. Further, the dictionary search can be executed simply by bringing the information processing apparatus 1 close to the chip-embedded book 24 and reading the data from the chip 24a, so that the operation becomes very simple.

  In the above description, the character code string corresponding to one word can be read. However, when data is simultaneously read from a plurality of chips 24a, the contents of the plurality of data are changed. You may make it display on the display part 13 and make a user select the character string made into search object. In addition to recording one word data on one chip 24a, data of a plurality of character strings (words, etc.) printed around the chip 24a may be recorded.

  Further, the electronic dictionary terminal 25 can search not only a Japanese-English dictionary but also various types of dictionaries. The electronic dictionary terminal 25 may switch the dictionary according to data received from the information processing apparatus 1 and execute dictionary search. Further, the search target is not limited to a dictionary, and a database storing various information such as a dictionary, a glossary, a commentary, and a law collection can be searched.

  In the above description, the electronic dictionary terminal 25 is taken as an example of another electronic device that communicates with the information processing apparatus 1, but other information devices such as a personal computer and a PDA, home appliances such as a television, etc. Can also be targeted.

  In addition to the stand-alone electronic device such as the electronic dictionary terminal 25, the information processing apparatus 1 performs processing on other electronic devices that can be connected to other devices via a communication network (including wired and wireless). You may make a request.

  For example, instead of the chip-embedded book 24, a catalog used for mail order sales is targeted, and the information processing apparatus 1 reads a product code from the chip 24a embedded in the catalog and orders the product with this product code to other electronic devices. For example, it can be transmitted via a communication line via a personal computer or a mobile phone. Here, for example, transmission is performed by e-mail, or transmission is performed by accessing a Web page via the Internet. It is assumed that the address of the ordering party (connection destination data), for example, an e-mail address, URL, etc. is recorded in the chip 24a embedded in the catalog. The information processing apparatus 1 fetches the address of the ordering party from the chip 24a, transmits a request for ordering processing with respect to the order source indicated by the address to another device, and executes the above-described processing.

  Similarly, by recording data related to the author's other work in the chip 24a embedded in the chip embedded book 24, an ordering request for a product based on this data is made through another device such as a mobile phone. Can be sent.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, data is read from a chip embedded in a printed material by a binder type information processing apparatus 30 as shown in FIG. The printed matter in the fifth embodiment is intended for the chip embedded document 32. The chip embedded document 32 has a configuration in which a plurality of chips 32a are embedded in a paper medium document. The chip 32a embedded in the chip-embedded document 32 includes, for example, identification data (ID) for identifying each document, data relating to a document creator, a creation date, a document name, and contents printed (or filled in) on the document. Etc. are recorded.

  The binder type information processing apparatus 30 has a mechanism capable of binding a plurality of general documents. The binder-type information processing device 30 includes a main body 30a on which the CPU 10, the input unit 12, the communication control unit 15, the RAM 16, and the recording device 17 illustrated in FIG. 1 are mounted, a display unit 13, a touch panel 14, and an audio output. The output unit 30b on which the unit 19 is mounted is mounted on the back cover surface, and a plurality of chip reading units 30c are mounted on the front cover surface and the back cover surface, and each is electrically connected. The chip reading unit 30 c is close to the chip 32 a embedded in the chip embedded document 32 and can read data by binding the chip embedded document 32 to the binder type information processing apparatus 30. The plurality of chip reading units 30c are for reading data from only the chip 32a at a specific position (for example, the upper left corner) among the plurality of chips 32a embedded in the chip embedding document 32, for example, and the other plurality of chips 32a. Assigned to read data from each other, and different data readable ranges are set for each.

  In addition, the binder type information processing device 30 is short-ranged with another electronic device, for example, the information processing device 1 described in the first to third embodiments, by the communication control unit 15 mounted on the main body 30a. Data can be transmitted and received between each other by wireless communication.

  Further, by mounting a solar cell panel and a rechargeable battery (not shown) on the surface of the main body 30a, the operation of the binder type information processing device 30 is continuously operated by electricity generated by the solar cell panel. Can be made. Therefore, the chip-embedding managed by the binder-type information processing device 30 through wireless communication by an electronic device such as the information-processing device 1 while the binder-type information processing device 30 in which a large number of chip-embedded documents 32 are bound is placed in the bookshelf for a long time. Data regarding the document 32 can be arbitrarily acquired. In addition, not only a solar cell panel but another power supply means may be provided.

  Next, the operation of the binder type information processing apparatus 30 in the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The binder type information processing apparatus 30 monitors whether a new document has been added (step F1). For example, when a mechanism for binding documents is operated, the CPU 10 of the main body 30a detects this and causes the chip reading unit 30c to read data from the chip 32a. Here, identification data (ID) of all documents bound to the binder type information processing apparatus 30 is read. For example, it is assumed that the identification data of the chip embedded document 32 is recorded on a chip 32a embedded in a predetermined position of the chip embedded document 32, for example, the upper left corner position.

  When the CPU 10 can determine that there is new identification data from the identification data read from all the chip embedded documents 32 by the chip reading unit 30c, the CPU 10 reads the data from the chip 32a of the new chip embedded document 32 (step F2). ).

  The CPU 10 updates the document data for managing the bound document based on the data read from the new chip embedded document 32 (step F3). Here, for example, the number counter (recorded in the RAM 16) that records the number of documents bound in the binder-type information processing apparatus 30 is updated, and index data is added to the new chip-embedded document 32. (Step F3). It is assumed that the index data is read from the chip 32a of the chip embedded document 32 and added using the read data.

  The CPU 10 stores the updated document data including the index data of the newly added chip embedded document 32 in the RAM 16 or the recording device 17 (step F4).

  In this way, the binder-type information processing device 30 can create and record management data for a plurality of bound chip-embedded documents 32.

  In the above description, only the case where the chip-embedded document 32 is added is described. However, when the bound chip-embedded document 32 is removed from the binder-type information processing apparatus 30, the document is similarly processed. It is assumed that the data is updated and the updated data is stored.

  Further, when the binder type information processing apparatus 30 receives a document data transmission request from the information processing apparatus 1 through the communication control unit 15 (step F5), the binder type information processing apparatus 30 requests management data stored in the recording device 17 or RAM 16. It transmits with respect to the original information processing apparatus 1 (step F6).

  The information processing apparatus 1 displays the number of documents, a list of indexes of each document, and the like based on the management data received from the binder type information processing apparatus 30.

  Thereby, the user of the information processing apparatus 1 is bound from the management data received from the binder type information processing apparatus 30 without directly confirming each chip embedded document 32 bound to the binder type information processing apparatus 30. You can know the number of documents you have, and know the contents of each document from the index.

  In the above description, the binder type information processing apparatus 30 has been described as managing the number and index of the bound chip embedded document 32. However, this is an example, and the binder type information processing apparatus 30 is embedded in the chip embedded document 32. If various data are recorded on the chip 32a, various information corresponding to the data can be managed.

  In addition, the information managed by the binder type information processing device 30 is not only received and output by the information processing device 1, but also always displayed on the display unit 13 (for example, a liquid crystal display) mounted on the output unit 30b. It is possible to display it.

  FIG. 18 shows a chip-embedded medication instruction book 70 as a specific example of a printed material to be printed by the chip-attaching printer device 40 according to the fifth embodiment.

  The chip-embedded medication instruction book 70 prints detailed information about each medicine so that the patient does not take (or use) wrongly when taking medicine to a patient at a pharmacy store or a hospital pharmacy, for example. A chip is embedded in accordance with a position where details of each medicine are described, and voice data and other data for outputting detailed explanations by voice are written.

  In the chip-embedded medication instruction book 70, for example, in addition to an image representing the appearance of the medicine, sentences such as the characteristics of the medicine, the method of taking, and precautions are printed as detailed information. A chip 70a is embedded in accordance with the printing position of the detailed information for each medicine, and data about each medicine is written.

  For example, in an information processing device installed in a dispensing pharmacy store, by specifying the type of medicine, the number of doses, the method of taking, etc., print data is generated, write data and paper position data are generated, and the chip It is transmitted to the pasting printer device 40. As described above, the chip pasting printer device 40 executes printing in accordance with each data, and pastes the chip 72a at a predetermined position to perform data writing.

  The user who has received the chip-embedded medication instruction book 70, for example, causes the information processing apparatus 1 to approach and reads data from the chip 70a to output a medication method or precautions by voice as shown in FIG. be able to.

  Thereby, even a person whose visual acuity has deteriorated can check the printed contents by voice, so that it can be taken without any mistake.

  In addition, by recording the same data as the content printed on the chip 70a, this data can be read out and displayed on the display unit 13.

  In the configuration of the transport system of the chip attachment printer device 40 shown in FIG. 15, as shown in FIG. 3C, the front surface is printed and the chip is attached to the back surface. Although 51 is installed in the lower part of the conveyance path, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the chip is attached to the printing surface side, the chip bonding module 51 may be installed in the upper part of the conveyance path. Further, since the chip 62a is included in the seal, double-sided printing can be performed.

  Further, in the chip roll paper 60, the seals 62 including the chips are arranged in one row, but the seals 62 including a plurality of chips may be arranged in the matrix direction. In this case, a plurality of chip bonding mechanisms 51d of the chip bonding module 51 are provided corresponding to each row.

  In this way, in the chip pasting printer device 40, printing is performed on the printing paper 50 in the same manner as a general printer device, and at the same time, the chip is pasted at a position corresponding to the printed content and printing is performed. Data suitable for the contents can be recorded on the chip.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where paper is used as a member to be printed is described. However, the present invention can be applied to the case where other members such as cloth, metal, and resin are used.
Further, the printed material does not need to be planar, and may be a three-dimensional structure (for example, a globe such as a globe or a rectangular parallelepiped) having a printed surface.

  Further, for example, the chip reading unit 18 has the highest electric field strength so that data reading from a plurality of chips embedded in the printed material is not performed collectively, that is, data can be read only from a specific chip. Data may be read only from the chip. The chip reading unit 18 can also be configured to have directivity so that data can be read only from a specific chip.

  Further, the above embodiments include inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriately combining a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if some constituent elements are deleted from all the constituent elements shown in the embodiment, at least one of the problems described in the column of problems to be solved by the invention can be solved, and described in the column of the effect of the invention. In a case where at least one of the obtained effects can be obtained, a configuration in which this configuration requirement is deleted can be extracted as an invention.
