  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out a bulletin board system and a memo medium device moving method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, an outline of the bulletin board system S of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, the bulletin board system S includes a bulletin board 1, a memo medium device 2, a control device 3, and a dedicated pen 4.

The bulletin board 1 is a bulletin board to which the memo medium device 2 is attached for the purpose of communication and notification, and the surface is divided into a plurality of areas (details will be described later).
In the memo medium device 2, a memo is handwritten on the surface by a dedicated pen 4 and is held movably on the surface of the bulletin board 1. In order to hold the memo medium device 2 movably on the surface of the bulletin board 1, for example, the bulletin board 1 is made of steel, and the wheels of the memo medium device 2 (the driving wheel 22 and the driven wheel 23 in FIG. 4) are made of magnets. I just need it.

The control device 3 moves the memo medium device 2 held on the surface of the bulletin board 1 to an area corresponding to the content of the memo described on the surface of the memo medium device 2.
The dedicated pen 4 is a writing instrument for the user to write a memo on the surface of the memo medium device 2.

In FIG. 1A, the contents of “memo 1” are described in the memo medium device 2a (2), and nothing is described in the memo medium device 2b (2).
Therefore, it is assumed that the user describes the contents of “memo 2” in the memo medium device 2b (2) using the dedicated pen 4 (FIG. 1B). At that time, the control device 3 acquires the contents of “memo 2” described in the memo medium device 2b (2). Here, “acquisition” refers to obtaining the described contents as image information (or stroke data).

  Then, the control device 3 analyzes the contents of “Memo 2” described in the memo medium device 2b (2) (FIG. 1C). Here, “analysis” refers to recognizing the meaning of a character by performing text analysis or the like on the image information of the described content. Then, the control device 3 determines the movement position (movement destination position) of the memo medium device 2b (2) based on the analyzed memo contents, and further determines the movement path from the current position to the movement position. To do.

  Thereafter, the control device 3 instructs the memo medium device 2b (2) to move to the moving position based on the determined moving route (FIG. 1 (d)). In response to this instruction, the memo medium device 2b (2) moves from the current position to the movement position along the movement path.

  Next, specific examples of the bulletin board 1 and the memo medium device 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2A, the bulletin board 1a (1) is a calendar-type bulletin board. In the claims, “the surface is divided into a plurality of areas” for the bulletin board means that in the case of the bulletin board 1a (1), the surface is divided into areas “1” to “31” of the date. Corresponds to what is being done.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), it is assumed that the memo medium device 2a (2) contains a description (memo 1) that the deadline for submitting the report A is January 18th. . Then, the memo medium device 2a (2) moves to the position on the 18th day on the bulletin board 1a (1) according to an instruction from the control device 3 (FIG. 2 (a)).

  Next, another specific example of the bulletin board 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the bulletin board 1b (1) is a deadline management type bulletin board. In the bulletin board 1b (1), an area 5a immediately before the deadline, an area 5b less than the deadline 5 days, and an area 5c longer than the deadline 5 days are provided. For example, if the memo medium device 2 a (2) has a deadline date and the deadline date is 5 days or more, the memo medium device 2 a (2) is instructed by the control device 3 in the area 5 c. Move to position.

Next, the configuration of the control device 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
The control device 3 includes a control unit 31 and a storage unit 32. The control device 3 includes input / output means (input / output interface), communication means (communication interface), and the like in addition to these, but illustration and description thereof are omitted.

The storage means 32 stores bulletin board surface information 321, memo content information 322, and memo position information 323.
The bulletin board surface information 321 is information related to the division status of the surface area of the bulletin board 1. For example, in the case of the calendar-type bulletin board 1a (1) shown in FIG. 2A, the bulletin board face information 321 is information indicating which date is written at which position on the surface of the bulletin board 1a (1). The bulletin board surface information 321 is information indicating which position on the surface of the bulletin board 1b (1) corresponds to each of the areas 5a, 5b, and 5c in the case of the deadline management type bulletin board 1b (1) of FIG. is there.

The memo content information 322 is memo content information of the memo medium device 2 analyzed by the memo content analysis unit 312.
The memo position information 323 is information on the current position of the memo medium device 2 on the bulletin board 1.

The control means 31 includes a memo content acquisition unit 311, a memo content analysis unit 312, a memo position recognition unit 313, a memo placement determination unit 314, and a memo movement path determination unit 315.
The memo content acquisition unit 311 acquires the content of the memo described on the surface of the memo medium device 2. Specifically, for example, infrared rays and ultrasonic waves transmitted from a pen tip transmission device (not shown) of the dedicated pen 4 are received by a receiving device (not shown) including one infrared sensor and two ultrasonic sensors. Then, the movement of the pen tip of the dedicated pen 4 is recognized based on the time difference between the reception times by these three sensors, and the memo content acquisition unit 311 recognizes the memo written on the surface of the memo medium device 2 based on the recognition data. Get the contents.

  The memo content analysis unit 312 analyzes the content of the memo with respect to the content of the memo acquired by the memo content acquisition unit 311 by using a known text analysis method or the like, and stores the analyzed memo content in the storage unit 32. Stored as information 322.

  The memo position recognition unit 313 recognizes the position of the memo medium device 2 on the surface of the bulletin board 1. Specifically, for example, wireless communication is performed between the memo medium device 2 and a wireless communication device (not shown) provided on the bulletin board 1, and the memo position information 323 is included in information from the wireless communication device (not shown). Based on this, the position of the memo medium device 2 on the surface of the bulletin board 1 is recognized by using a known position recognition method.

  The memo arrangement determining unit 314 is arranged on the bulletin board 1 on which the memo medium device 2 is to be arranged based on the bulletin board surface information 321 stored in the storage unit 32 and the contents of the memo stored in the memo content information 322. Determine the area. For example, in the case of the calendar-type bulletin board 1a (1) of FIG. 2 (a), if “18 days” is written in the memo medium device 2, the memo medium device 2 should be placed on the bulletin board 1a (1). The area is determined at the position of “18 days”.

  Further, in the case of the deadline management type bulletin board 1b (1) of FIG. 3, if the deadline date described in the memo medium device 2 is 5 days or more, the bulletin board 1b (1) where the memo medium device 2 should be placed. ) The upper area is determined as the position of the area 5c.

  Returning to FIG. 4A, the memo movement path determination unit 315 refers to the memo position information 323 stored in the storage unit 32, and the area determined by the memo arrangement determination unit 314 from the current position of the memo medium device 2. And the memo medium device 2 is instructed to move along the movement route. At that time, when the other memo medium device 2 is contacted by the shortest movement route, the detour route is determined.

  More specifically, for example, the movable region of the memo medium device 2 on the surface of the bulletin board 1 is represented by two-dimensional vertical and horizontal coordinates, and based on the current position and the movement position of the memo medium device 2. Calculate the difference in the vertical direction and the difference in the horizontal direction. The movement path is determined by the movement distance in the vertical direction and the movement distance in the horizontal direction. Further, it is confirmed whether or not another memo medium device 2 exists on the moving path. If there is no other memo medium device 2, it is determined by the movement route. If there is another memo medium device 2, a vertical and horizontal movement distance that avoids the other memo medium device 2 is calculated in consideration of the current position of the other memo medium device 2.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4B ((b1) to (b5)), a structural example of the memo medium device 2 will be described. The memo medium device 2 includes a control unit 21, two drive wheels 22 (moving means), and a driven wheel 23.

The control unit 21 wirelessly communicates with the control device 3 and gives a movement instruction to the drive wheels 22 based on an instruction from the control device 3.
The two drive wheels 22 are rotated by the force of a motor (not shown) so that the memo medium device 2 moves in the direction of the instruction on the bulletin board 1 based on an instruction from the control unit 21. The two drive wheels 22 installed in parallel move the memo medium device 2 in the direction of rotation if both of them rotate, and turn the memo medium device 2 on the spot if only one of them rotates.
The driven wheel 23 is a rotating member for maintaining a state in which the surface of the memo medium device 2 is parallel to the surface of the bulletin board 1.

  Next, the flow of operations in the bulletin board system S will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 (refer to other figures as appropriate). The sequence diagram of FIG. 5 is commonly applied to the calendar type bulletin board 1a (1) (FIG. 2 (a)) and the deadline management type bulletin board 1b (1) (FIG. 3), and the sequence diagram of FIG. 6 is the deadline. Only applicable to the management bulletin board 1b (1) (FIG. 3). 5 and 6 are executed for each memo medium device 2 when there are a plurality of memo medium devices 2 on the bulletin board 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user sets bulletin board surface information 321 in the control device 3 (step S1).
Next, the user writes a memo on the memo medium device 2 using the dedicated pen 4 (step S2).

Then, the position related information of the pen tip of the dedicated pen 4 is transmitted from the receiving device (not shown) corresponding to the dedicated pen 4 to the control device 3 (step S3). In step S3 in FIG. 5, for convenience, the starting point of the arrow is the dedicated pen 4 (the same applies to step S7).
In response to this, the memo content acquisition unit 311 of the control device 3 acquires the memo content (step S4). Steps S3 and S4 are continuously executed while step S2 is continued.

Further, the memo position recognition unit 313 of the control device 3 recognizes the current position of the memo medium device 2 on the surface of the bulletin board 1, and stores it as the memo position information 323 in the storage unit 32 (step S5).
The user completes the writing of the memo on the memo medium device 2 using the dedicated pen 4 (step S6).
In response to this, a memo description completion signal is transmitted from the receiving device (not shown) corresponding to the dedicated pen 4 to the control device 3 (step S7).

  Next, the memo content analysis unit 312 of the control device 3 analyzes the content of the memo by using a known text analysis method based on the content of the memo acquired in step S4, and the analyzed memo content. The memo content information 322 is stored in the storage means 32 (step S8).

  Next, the memo arrangement determining unit 314 determines whether the memo content transmitted in step S7 is based on the bulletin board surface information 321 stored in the storage unit 32 and the memo content stored in the memo content information 322. An area on the bulletin board 1 where the written memo medium device 2 described (that is, closest to the pen tip position in step S3) is to be placed is determined (step S9) (see FIGS. 2A and 3).

  Next, the memo movement path determination unit 315 refers to the memo position information 323 stored in the storage unit 32 and determines a movement path from the current position of the memo medium device 2 to the area determined by the memo arrangement determination unit 314. (Step S10), the memo medium device 2 is instructed to move along the movement route (Step S11).

  In response to this, the memo medium device 2 controls the two drive wheels 22 by the control unit 21 in accordance with an instruction from the control device 3 (step S12), moves (step S13), and completes the movement (step S14), the completion of movement is reported to the control device 3 (step S15).

  In this way, according to the bulletin board system S, the memo medium device 2 held on the surface of the bulletin board 1 is moved to an area corresponding to the content of the memo described on the surface of the memo medium device 2. Therefore, the possibility that the user overlooks the memo medium device 2 on the bulletin board 1 can be further reduced.

  That is, in the case of the calendar-type bulletin board 1a (1) of FIG. 2A, the memo medium device 2 is located at the date corresponding to the deadline date, and therefore the user is very likely to overlook the memo medium device 2. Low.

  Further, in the case of the deadline management type bulletin board 1b (1) of FIG. 3, the memo medium device 2 is in one of the areas 5a, 5b, and 5c based on the difference between the deadline date and the current date. The possibility of overlooking the memo medium device 2 is extremely low.

Next, the operation of the bulletin board system S when the memo medium device 2 is rearranged in the case of the deadline management type bulletin board 1b (1) (FIG. 3) will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in step S21, the control device 3 determines whether or not a predetermined timing has come. If Yes, the process proceeds to step S22, and if No, the process returns to step S21. Here, when the predetermined timing has arrived (Yes in step S21), for example, when one day has elapsed, or when the user starts the processing after step S22 in FIG. This is the case.

In step S <b> 22, the memo arrangement determination unit 314 calculates the difference between the deadline date and the current date for the memo medium device 2.
Next, in step S23, the memo arrangement determination unit 314 determines whether the memo medium device 2 is based on the bulletin board surface information 321 stored in the storage unit 32 and the contents of the memo stored in the memo content information 322. An area on the bulletin board 1 to be arranged (rearranged) is determined (step S9).

  Next, in step S24, the memo arrangement determining unit 314 determines whether or not the memo medium device 2 needs to be moved. If yes, the process proceeds to step S25, and if no, the process ends. The case where movement is necessary (Yes in step S24) is a case where the memo medium device 2 needs to be moved from the area 5c to the area 5b on the bulletin board 1b (1) in FIG. 3, for example.

  In the case of Yes in step S24, the memo movement path determination unit 315 refers to the memo position information 323 stored in the storage unit 32, and from the current position of the memo medium device 2 to the area determined by the memo arrangement determination unit 314. The movement route is determined (step S25), and the memo medium device 2 is instructed to move along the movement route (step S26).

  In response to this, the memo medium device 2 controls the two drive wheels 22 by the control unit 21 according to the instruction from the control device 3 (step S27), moves (step S28), and completes the movement (step). S29) The completion of movement is reported to the control device 3 (step S30).

  According to this, the memo medium device 2 can be rearranged at a predetermined timing. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, in the bulletin board 1b (1), the memo medium device 2 can be moved from the area 5c to the area 5b.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a memo medium device 200 which is another structural example of the memo medium device 2 will be described. 8A is a perspective view of the memo medium device 200 as viewed from the front surface side, and FIG. 8B is a perspective view of the memo medium device 200 as viewed from the back surface side. According to the memo medium device 200, unlike the memo medium device 2, the memo medium device 200 can be moved on the bulletin board 1 without changing the posture of the memo.

  The memo medium device 200 includes a control unit 21, a driving spherical roller 210 (moving means), a lateral movement motor 211, a vertical movement motor 212, and three driven spherical rollers 220.

The driving spherical roller 210 operates so that the memo medium device 2 moves in the direction of the instruction on the bulletin board 1 by appropriately rotating and driving the lateral movement motor 211 and the longitudinal movement motor 212 based on an instruction from the control unit 21. To do.
The three driven spherical rollers 220 are rotating members for maintaining a state in which the surface of the memo medium device 200 is parallel to the surface of the bulletin board 1.

  According to the memo medium device 200 having such a structure, the memo medium device 200 can move on the bulletin board 1 without changing the posture of the memo, so that the visual comfort of the user regarding the memo medium device 2 being moved can be improved.

Although description of this embodiment is finished above, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to these.
For example, the memo medium device 2 on the bulletin board 1 is made more noticeable by rotating on the spot and reciprocating in the vertical and horizontal directions at regular timings or just before the deadline. It may be. Further, the memo medium device 2 may be structured so as to protrude toward the front, and may be made more conspicuous by protruding toward the front.

  Further, a reader for directly reading the contents of the memo may be provided on the memo medium device 2 side, and the memo content acquisition unit 311 may acquire the contents of the memo described on the surface of the memo medium device 2 from the reader. Then, the memo can be written on the memo medium device 2 using not the dedicated pen 4 but a normal writing instrument (pencil, ballpoint pen, etc.).

Further, the size, number, position, orientation and the like of the driving wheel 22 and the driven wheel 23 in the memo medium device 2 shown in FIG. 4B are not limited to those shown in the figure, and the memo medium device 2 is on the bulletin board 1.
