Special table 2008-516248 gazette

  However, since paper is easily damaged, if paper is used as the sheet material of the above-described apparatus, it cannot be used for a long period of time. Also, since paper is not waterproof, it needs to be handled with care so as not to touch liquids such as water, and once it gets wet, it may not be usable.

  For example, when providing this type of device to a patient for medical purposes, some durability and waterproofing is required so that the patient can continue to use the device for a certain period of time required for treatment. However, when made of paper, due to the above-mentioned problems of durability and waterproofness, depending on how the patient is used, it may be possible to use only a period shorter than the expected period of use.

  On the other hand, when the above device is manufactured using a resin (for example, plastic) that is stronger than paper as a sheet material, the concerns about durability and water resistance are eliminated, but the sealing property is too strong and two resins are used. Even when the selection button is produced by a layer, even if the selection button is strongly pressed with a finger, the contact conducting portion of the selection button does not come into contact with the contact, and the button may not function normally.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and its purpose is to provide a sheet-like material capable of producing a selection button that functions correctly even when a resin sheet material having excellent durability and waterproofness is used. An information collecting apparatus is provided.

In order to solve the above problems, in one aspect of the present invention, a plurality of selection buttons that can be pressed by the user,
A sheet-like information collection device comprising: a communication module capable of storing at least user identification information and information of a pressed selection button, and capable of wirelessly transmitting the stored information to a host device,

A first surface having a plurality of conductive patterns electrically connecting each of the contact points and each of the plurality of terminal portions,
The second resin layer includes a second surface having a plurality of contact conducting portions provided for each of the two corresponding contacts.
The third surface provided on the opposite side of either the first surface or the second surface has a plurality of button operation units that indicate the pressing positions of the plurality of selection buttons,
Around the contact corresponding to each of the plurality of selection buttons and the contact conducting portion disposed opposite to the contact, there is an air dispersion portion that disperses the air between the contact and the contact conducting portion. Provided is an information collection device characterized in that it is provided.

  By providing the air dispersion portion, when the selection button is pressed, the air pressure between the corresponding contact and the contact conduction portion is reduced, and it is not necessary to press the selection button strongly.

  The air dispersion part may be a hole through which air between the corresponding contact and the contact conduction part escapes from the surface of the button operation part.

  For example, the hole may be provided in a step portion of the button operation unit.

  Moreover, the air dispersion part may be a vent hole through which air flows, formed by removing a part of the sealing agent that bonds the first surface and the second surface.

  This vent hole may reach the end face of the sealing agent.

  This air hole may connect the non-seal parts to disperse air.

  The material of the first resin layer and the second resin layer may include PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene).

  A cancel button for canceling the information of the selection button pressed by the user is provided. When the cancel button is pressed, the pressing information of the selection button pressed immediately before the cancel button is pressed is cancelled. Information may be stored in the storage unit, or the pressing information may be deleted from the storage unit.

  According to the present invention, even when a resin sheet material excellent in durability and waterproofness is used, a selection button that functions correctly can be produced.

The figure explaining the manufacturing process of the treatment progress recording card | curd 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is an external view of an information collecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information collection device in FIG. 1 is a sheet-like treatment progress card 1 made of a resin sheet such as plastic, which is foldable. When deployed, an information input surface 2 as shown in FIG. 2 appears. The information input surface 2 is a surface on which the user selects and presses a button with his / her finger.

  One feature of this embodiment is that a resin sheet is used instead of paper. This is because the paper is easy to bend and turn and has poor durability, and when it comes into contact with liquids such as water, the outer shape is deformed and it does not return to its original form even when dried. This is because of the above problem. However, paper has the advantage that the material is inexpensive. Therefore, in this embodiment, although it is an inexpensive material like paper, a resin sheet superior in durability and waterproofness than paper is used.

  The treatment progress record card 1 in FIG. 1 is received directly or indirectly by a patient from a medical institution such as a hospital or a pharmacy, and is specialized for a specific disease, for example. That is, a different kind of treatment progress record card 1 is provided for each disease. Alternatively, a treatment progress recording card 1 that can be used in common for a plurality of diseases may be provided.

  The treatment progress record card 1 in FIG. 1 has a function of sequentially recording treatment progress while a patient is performing treatment under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist by a button operation of the patient, and the recorded information is a medical institution or the like. And wirelessly transmitting to the host computer. In addition, the treatment progress recording card 1 is premised to be discarded after a predetermined period of time, and the member cost is suppressed as much as possible. However, as described above, by using a resin sheet, durability and waterproofness are improved as compared with the case of using a paper sheet. Although the specific material of a resin sheet is not ask | required in particular, For example, the material containing PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene) can be considered. The resin sheet is not limited to being formed of a single material, but may be a composite laminate using a plurality of materials. For example, a combination of various materials such as a composite laminate of PP and paper and a composite laminate of PET and paper can be considered.

  The information input surface 2 of the treatment progress recording card 1 in FIG. 1 has a three-surface configuration including a first input surface 2a, a second input surface 2b, and a third input surface 2c, as shown in FIG. 2, for example. For example, a start button 3 and a cancel button 4 are provided on the first input surface 2a. On the second input surface 2b, for example, selection buttons 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, and 5f for items 1 to 6 related to basic items for determining the therapeutic effect of a specific disease are provided. Among these, the selection button 5a for item 1 is divided into, for example, three buttons for selecting and pressing one of three types of states. Each of the selection buttons 5b to 5f for the items 2 to 6 includes one button.

  On the third input surface 2c, selection buttons for inputting various symptoms of a patient suffering from a specific disease are arranged. More specifically, selection buttons 6a to 6f for symptoms 1 to 6 are provided one by one. The patient presses a corresponding selection button when there is a corresponding symptom among the symptoms 1 to 6. In addition, the third input surface 2c is provided with a selection button 6g for a predetermined test value for determining the cure of a specific disease. This selection button 6g consists of six buttons, for example, and the patient presses the selection button corresponding to his / her examination value.

  The types, number and arrangement of the selection buttons 6a to 6g provided in the first input surface 2a, the second input surface 2b and the third input surface 2c constituting the button operation surface 2 are arbitrary and differ depending on the disease. It can be a thing. Hereinafter, all buttons provided on the information input screen 2 are collectively referred to as selection buttons.

  The patient presses the start button 3 when using the treatment progress record card 1 for the first time. Thereafter, the patient presses the corresponding selection button at a timing instructed in advance by a medical institution or the like. If the patient accidentally presses a different selection button, the operation of the selection button immediately before can be canceled by pressing the cancel button 4 immediately after that.

  Information of all buttons pressed by the patient is automatically stored in the communication module 10 built in the treatment progress recording card 1.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the communication module 10. The communication module 10 of FIG. 3 has a thin film shape that is thinner than the paper thickness, and includes an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) 12 mounted on a film substrate 11, a crystal resonator 13, a button battery 14, and a speaker 15. And a plurality of terminals 16 formed along the long side of the film substrate 11 and an antenna pattern 17 formed along the outer edge of the film substrate 11.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of the internal configuration of the communication module 10. The actual arrangement, size, shape, and number of circuit components and patterns can be arbitrarily changed.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the ASIC 12. The ASIC 12 in FIG. 4 stores information on the start button 3, cancel button 4, each case of the tablet 5, and each selection button pressed by the patient in time series together with time information, and press information in the storage unit 21. It has the control part 22 which performs control to memorize | store, and the radio | wireless communication part 23 which performs radio | wireless communication between the host computers not shown.

  Based on the control of the control unit 22, the storage unit 21 stores information specifying a button pressed by the patient and time information when the button is pressed as a set.

  When the function of the control unit 22 is low, there is a high possibility that information once stored in the storage unit 21 cannot be erased or overwritten. Therefore, when the cancel button 4 is pressed, the control unit 22 does not erase the information stored in the storage unit 21 immediately before, but additionally stores information indicating that the information is incorrect. Thereby, when the information on the treatment progress record card is read out by a host computer such as a medical institution, it is possible to easily and accurately determine whether or not the information is correct for each stored information.

  On the other hand, when the function of the control unit 22 is high, there is a high possibility that information once stored in the storage unit 21 can be erased or overwritten. Therefore, when the cancel button 4 is pressed, the control unit 22 directly deletes the information stored in the storage unit 21 immediately before that. Therefore, it is not necessary to continue storing wrong information in the storage unit 21, the storage capacity in the storage unit 21 can be effectively used, and the host computer does not have to determine whether the read information is correct, The reading process can be speeded up.

  By providing such a cancel button 4, it is possible to cancel the information of the selection button that was pressed immediately before, and the patient can redo the button operation as many times as possible, and the mental burden that no mistakes are allowed. Released from.

  The wireless communication unit 23 performs non-contact communication such as so-called NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth (registered trademark) with the host computer to transmit and receive information. The method and frequency band used by the wireless communication unit 23 for wireless communication are not particularly limited. For example, in the case of NFC, wireless communication is performed using a wireless method compliant with ISO14443 in the 13.56 MHz band, and in the case of Bluetooth, the standard is used. Wireless communication is performed at a predetermined frequency (for example, 2.4 GHz). Various types of information stored in the storage unit 21 described above are transmitted to the host computer via the wireless communication unit 23. As a result, how the patient's condition has changed over a predetermined period of time can be managed finely in a time series in a unified manner on the host computer side, which can be used for the treatment of a patient suffering from a specific disease.

  When NFC is adopted as a wireless communication system, power can be transmitted and received in accordance with the standard, so that it is possible in principle to drive the communication module 10 without a battery. However, the communication module 10 of the present embodiment also includes a speaker 15, and the button battery 14 is mounted because the power consumption is relatively large.

  As long as the button battery 14 is mounted, the battery will run out if used for a long period of time. However, the treatment progress recording card 1 according to the present embodiment employs a resin sheet material and has some durability and waterproofness. However, since the structure that can replace the battery is not adopted, the structure is simplified on the assumption that the treatment progress recording card 1 itself is replaced when the battery runs out.

  FIG. 5 is a developed view of the resin sheet material 30 that is the basis of the treatment progress recording card 1. The resin sheet material 30 in FIG. 5 includes two resin layers 30a and 30b that can be folded by a central fold 61 extending in the vertical direction. Each resin layer 30a, 30b on both sides of the fold line 61 is provided with different contacts, contact conducting portions 38, and the like. These two resin layers 30a and 30b are not physically separated.

  The resin layer 30a shown in FIG. 5 is disposed in the upper layer, and the contact conduction portion 38 corresponding to each selection button is formed in the resin layer 30a. The resin layer 30b is disposed in the lower layer, and contacts 31, 32, 33a to 33h, and 34a to 34l that can contact the contact conducting portions 38 are formed on the resin layer 30b. In addition, the resin device 30b is formed with a terminal portion 19 to which each terminal of the communication module 10 is connected and a conductive pattern 18 that conducts between the terminal portion 19 and the contact. Although illustration of a part of the conductive pattern 18 is omitted in FIG. 5, each conductive pattern 18 extends so as to conduct the corresponding terminal portion 19 and the contact.

  As will be described later, in the resin layer 30 b, each contact and the conductive pattern 18 are formed, and after the communication module 10 is mounted in accordance with the position of the terminal portion 19, almost the entire surface is coated with the sealant 53. Then, with the crease 61 as a boundary, the resin layer 30a is stacked on the resin layer 30b and thermocompression bonded, whereby both layers are firmly bonded to form an outer shape as shown in FIG. The information input surface 2 in FIG. 2 is a surface opposite to the surface shown in FIG. 5 of the resin layer 30a. Thus, since the communication module 10 is covered with the resin layers 30a and 30b and does not appear in appearance, the resistance to external impact is increased.

  In addition, you may provide the information input surface 2 in the surface on the opposite side to the surface shown in FIG. 5 of the resin layer 30b. Hereinafter, the surface of the resin layer 30b on which the contacts and the like are formed is referred to as a first surface, the surface of the resin layer 30a on which the contact conducting portion 38 is formed is referred to as a second surface, and the information input surface 2 is referred to as a third surface.

  As described above, each selection button includes the contact conducting portion 38 of the resin layer 30a and the corresponding contact of the resin layer 30b. When the selection button is not pressed, the corresponding contact conducting part 38 and the contact are physically separated from each other, and the contact contacts the contact conducting part 38 only while the selection button is pressed. A current flows through the connected conductive pattern 18, the current is detected by the communication module 10, and information on which selection button is pressed and when is stored in the storage unit 21.

  Since the resin layers 30a and 30b have much higher sealing properties than paper, when the resin layers 30a and 30b are bonded to each other, there is an air escape path that exists between the contact conducting portion 38 and the corresponding contact. Otherwise, when the selection button is pressed, the air between the corresponding contact conducting part 38 and the contact cannot be escaped anywhere, and as a result, the contact conducting part 38 and the corresponding contact may not come into contact with each other. . When the selection button is pressed with a strong force in an attempt to force contact between the contact conducting portion 38 and the corresponding contact, the pressure of air between the contact conducting portion 38 and the contact increases, and the resin layers 30a and 30b are bonded. May also be partially peeled off. In addition, forcing the patient to press the selection button with a strong force significantly reduces usability.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, when the sealing agent 53 is coated on the resin layer 30 b, the air dispersion portion 51 that reduces the air pressure by dispersing the air between the contact and the contact conduction portion. Is provided. The air dispersion part 51 has a vent hole extending from the periphery of the contact point to the end of the resin layer 30b, and a vent hole for allowing air to escape around the other adjacent contact point.

  Further, instead of providing the air dispersion portion 51, a region (hereinafter referred to as non-seal portion) 52 where the sealant 53 provided around each contact does not exist may be brought into contact with each other to disperse the air around the contact. Good.

  Even if the air around the contact point and the contact conducting part 38 does not escape to the outside of the resin layer 30b via the air dispersion part 51 described above, the air pressure around the contact point and the contact conducting part 38 can be selected. When the button is pressed, the contact conducting part and the contact can be brought into contact with each other.

  Below, the air dispersion | distribution part 51 formed in the pattern surface of the resin layer 30b of FIG. 5 is demonstrated in detail. The pattern surface of the resin layer 30b corresponds to the contact 31 corresponding to the start button 3, the contact 32 corresponding to the cancel button 4, the contacts 33a to 33c corresponding to the selection button 5a, and the selection buttons 5b to 5f. Contacts 33d to 33h to be performed, contacts 34a to 3f corresponding to the selection buttons 6a to 6f, and contacts 34g to 34l corresponding to the selection button 6g are provided.

  Separate air dispersion portions 51 are provided around the contacts 31 and 32, and these air dispersion portions 51 reach the end of the resin layer 30b.

  The periphery of the contacts 33a to 33c is connected by the air dispersion part 51, and the air dispersion part 51 around the contact 33c reaches the end of the resin layer 30b.

  The non-seal portions 52 around the contacts 33c, 33f, 33g, and 33h are connected to each other, and air is dispersed so that the pressure of the air can be reduced.

  Similarly, the non-seal part 52 around the contacts 33a, 33d, 33e, the non-seal part 52 around the contacts 34d-33f, the non-seal part 52 around the contacts 34a-34c, and the contacts 34g- The non-seal part 52 around 34 l is connected to each other, and the air in the non-seal part 52 is allowed to escape to the outside of the resin layer 30 b via the air dispersion part 51.

  In addition, the specific form of the air dispersion | distribution part 51 for escaping the air around a contact and the contact conduction | electrical_connection part 38 is not limited to the hole 51a and the non-seal part 52 mentioned above. For example, FIG. 6 shows a small hole 51a penetrating to the back side surface near the side surface of the button portion 50 of each selection button provided on the information input surface 2 of the resin layer 30b, that is, the surface opposite to the surface shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the example which provided.

  In FIG. 6, the information input screen 2 is provided with a button operation surface 51b and a step portion 51c provided at the end of the button operation surface 51b in association with each selection button, and a hole 51a is provided in the step portion 51c. ing. The reason why the hole 51a is provided in the stepped portion 51c is that the human operation finger touches the button operation surface 51b when the selection button is pressed, so that the hole 51a may be blocked by the finger.

  If the hole 51a as shown in FIG. 6 is provided, when the selection button is pressed, the air between the corresponding contact and the contact conduction part escapes to the surface side of the information input surface 2 through the hole 51a. A contact and a contact conduction part can be made to contact reliably.

  The position where the hole 51a in FIG. 6 is provided is not necessarily limited to the vicinity of the side surface of the selection button. Since the hole 51a is for releasing air between the corresponding contact and the contact conducting part to the outside when the selection button is pressed, the hole 51a may be any place that is in contact with the air between the contact and the contact conducting part. Basically, it can be installed anywhere. However, as described above, it is not desirable to provide a hole in a place that may be blocked by a human finger such as the button operation surface 51b.

  Moreover, both the hole 51a as shown in FIG. 6 and the air dispersion part 51 shown in FIG. 5 may be provided, or at least one of the hole 51a and the air dispersion part 51 may be provided for each selection button. .

  One end of each contact shown in FIG. 5 is connected to the ground terminal via the conductive pattern 18 a, and the other end of each contact is connected to the terminal portion via the conductive pattern 18. The terminal portion 19 is provided with terminals for the total number of contacts, and in addition to this, ground terminals are provided on both ends of the terminal portion 19. A conductive pattern (hereinafter referred to as a ground pattern) 18a extending from the ground terminal is formed so as to surround other conductive patterns and contacts along the outer edge of the pattern surface of the resin layer 3b. The ground pattern 18a is formed thicker than other conductive patterns in order to reduce noise.

  Thus, all the contacts are connected between the corresponding terminals and the ground pattern 18a. Therefore, when the state of any of the contacts changes, the changed information is transmitted to the communication module 10 via the dedicated terminal. The storage unit 21 in the communication module 10 stores information for specifying a contact whose contact state has changed and time information when the contact state has changed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for using the treatment progress record card 1 of FIG. First, a doctor or medical staff at the hospital initializes the treatment progress record card 1 by holding the treatment progress record card 1 in which a predetermined medicine is incorporated according to a prescription to a reader connected to the host computer, and then performs treatment. Information for specifying a patient is stored in the storage unit 21 in the progress recording card 1 (step S1).

  Thereafter, the treatment progress record card 1 is handed to the patient or sent to the patient by mail or the like (step S2). The patient who has received the treatment progress record card 1 opens the treatment progress record card 1 and presses the start button 3 before performing the first button selection (step S3). Thereafter, the corresponding selection button is pressed at a predetermined timing (step S4). The predetermined timing may be different for each disease or for each patient, but is, for example, immediately before taking a medicine prescribed by a doctor or after a predetermined time has elapsed since taking the medicine.

  Thereafter, after the period designated by the medical institution passes, or at the next medical care of the patient, the treatment progress record card 1 is held or sent to the medical institution (step S5). Then, the doctor or medical staff of the medical institution receives the treatment progress recording card 1 from the patient and holds it over the reader connected to the host computer, and stores the information stored in the storage unit 21 of the treatment progress recording card 1 as the host. It is read into the computer and displayed on the screen (step S7). For example, the doctor checks the patient's condition while viewing the information stored in the treatment progress record card 1 displayed on the screen, and examines the patient (step S8).

  Thus, since the treatment progress record card 1 memorizes the state of the patient suffering from the specific disease one by one in time series, the doctor can accurately and accurately specify the symptom of the patient without depending on the memory of the patient. Therefore, the patient can be treated accurately and misdiagnosis can be prevented.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a manufacturing process of the treatment progress recording card 1 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the manufacturing process of the treatment progress recording card 1 according to the first embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIG. First, predetermined character information (for example, character information on the front surface of FIGS. 1 and 2) is printed on the back surface side of the resin layer 30a shown in FIG. 5 (step S11). Next, the contact conduction part is formed in the resin layer 30a shown in FIG. 5, and the contact, the terminal part 19 and the conduction pattern 18 are formed in the resin layer 30b (step S12). These are formed by silk printing using, for example, conductive carbon, copper oxide or silver.

  Next, an anisotropic conductive adhesive is applied to almost the entire surface excluding the location of the non-seal part and the air dispersion part 51 in the resin layer 30b (step S13). This anisotropic conductive adhesive has conductivity only in one direction (X direction), and even if applied on each terminal or conductive pattern of the terminal portion 19, different terminals or conductive patterns are short-circuited. There is no risk.

  In addition, a conductive adhesive tape may be stuck only on the terminal part 19, and a nonelectroconductive adhesive may be apply | coated to another part. The basic material of these adhesives or adhesive tapes is an epoxy resin or an acrylic resin, and contains conductive material particles.

  Next, the outer shape of the resin sheet material 30 is removed by a mold and shaped, and the boundary portions of the resin layers 30a and 30b and the boundary portions of the button operation surfaces 2a to 3c 2c obtained by dividing each resin layer into three parts. The crease 61 is made by ruled line processing (step S14).

  Next, the communication module 10 is mounted on the pattern surface of the resin layer 30b (step S15). Here, the terminal 16 of the communication module 10 and the terminal portion 19 on the first pattern surface are aligned, and both are thermocompression bonded via the anisotropic conductive adhesive or conductive tape described above.

  Next, the resin layer 30b is folded at the fold 61 so that the resin layer 30b is on the resin layer 30a, the two resin layers are bonded together, and thermocompression-bonded with a roller (step S16). The treatment progress recording card 1 shown in FIG. 2 is completed through the above steps. Thereafter, the button operation surface 2a to the third surface 2c are folded at the folds to obtain the form shown in FIG.

  As described above, the treatment progress recording card 1 according to the present embodiment is manufactured using the resin sheet material so as to have durability and waterproofness, and when the selection button is pressed, the contact of the selection button and the contact conduction portion The air dispersion means 51 for lowering the air pressure between the contact and the contact conducting portion is provided so that the contact between the contact point and the contact conducting part is ensured. The problem of durability and waterproofing can be solved.
