The data transfer unit 42 measures the position information by the position information acquisition device 4g when receiving the first reception data, adds the measured position information to the first reception data, and transfers the first reception data to the server 3 as the second reception data.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the temperature measuring device 2 roughly includes a processing device 2a for processing temperature data, a display device 2b for displaying temperature data, and a delivery button operated when delivering a transported object at a transport destination 2c and a housing 2d for holding these. As shown in FIG. 4A, since the display device 2b is exposed and attached to the outer surface of the housing 2d, it is easy to present the transport status to the receiver at the time of delivery.

  Further, in the housing 2 d, a plurality of warning units 2 e 1 to 2 e 4 indicating the status of the temperature measurement device 2 and various operation buttons 2 f 1 to 2 f 3 are disposed. The warning units 2e1 to 2e4 display, for example, temperature monitoring status, battery remaining status, connection status with the mobile terminal 4, error occurrence status, and the like by flashing, lighting, etc. of the LED. The operation buttons 2f1 to 2f3 are, for example, buttons for turning on / off the display device 2b, starting / stopping temperature measurement, and switching the display format.

  The hardware configuration of the temperature measurement device 2 is, as shown in FIG. 4B, roughly a processing device 2a for executing software 20 described later, a display device 2b, an input / output device 2g such as various buttons, It comprises a communication device 2h to transmit, a power supply 2i and a temperature sensor 2j including a thermocouple. The processing device 2a is configured by, for example, a microcomputer that incorporates a CPU, a memory, and the like. The communication device 2h is not particularly limited as long as it can transmit and receive data regardless of wired or wireless, such as a BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) module, a USB port, or an infrared port.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the software 20 executed by the processing device 2a generally determines the temperature data when the temperature data is displayed on the display device 2b and the determination unit 21 that determines whether or not the temperature data is a normal value. And a display data output unit 23 for outputting to the display device 2b. In addition, the data transmission unit 24 transmits the temperature data measured by the temperature sensor 2j and the determination data (first received data) in the determination unit 21 whether the temperature data is normal or not to the mobile terminal 4, and the operation button The display switching unit 25 is further provided to switch the display format of the display device 2b by the operation 2f.

  The determination unit 21 determines that the temperature data measured within the delivery period DT and after the operation time B of the delivery button 2 c (hereinafter simply referred to as “operation time B”) is normal for each delivery period DT of each transfer destination. It is determined whether or not it is a value, and when there is temperature data that is a normal value, there is a delivery period adjustment unit 21a that sets the measurement time of temperature data that is a normal value as the end time of the delivery period DT.

  The display data output unit 23 has a graph generation unit 23a that generates a transition graph indicating the transition of temperature data from the start of conveyance to the operation time at which the delivery button 2c is operated at the current conveyance destination. The graph generation unit 23a generates a correction transition graph based on the correction temperature data.

Here, determination of temperature data and transmission to the mobile terminal 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. The vertical axis represents temperature (° C.), and the horizontal axis represents time (minutes).
The management temperature upper limit Tmax and the management temperature lower limit Tmin are set by the temperature measurement device 2 itself or the setting unit 43 of the mobile terminal 4 according to the conveyed product M at the start of conveyance. The temperature sensor 2j normally measures the temperature in the container 5 at a predetermined measurement interval t (for example, 1 minute, 10 minutes, etc.). When the determination unit 21 exceeds the management temperature upper limit Tmax or falls below the management temperature lower limit Tmin, the determination unit 21 determines that temperature data outside the management temperature range A is not a normal value (abnormal).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, the determination unit 21 counts the number of times the temperature data is not normal value continuously. Then, when the count number S continues a predetermined number of times (three times in the same figure), the data transmission unit 24 transmits the temperature data and the abnormality determination result to the mobile terminal 4 (symbol q). After the execution of the abnormality notification by the data transmission unit 24, the determination unit 21 resets the count number S. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the determination unit 21 also resets the count number S when normal temperature data is measured.

  As described above, the data transmission unit 24 performs transmission of temperature data and notification of abnormality to the mobile terminal 4 when abnormal temperature data is continuously measured a predetermined number of times. By this notification of abnormality, it is possible to monitor (grasp) the transport state (temperature) of the transported product M contained in the container 5 during transport.

Next, correction of temperature data will be described with reference to FIGS.
As described above, the temperature measurement device 2 according to the present invention is contained in one container 5 so as to be removable along with the drugs m1 to m3 transported (delivered) to the plurality of transport destinations P1 to P3. At the time of delivery, it is removed from the container 5 together with the medicines m1 to m3. Therefore, the temperature measuring device 2 does not measure the internal temperature of the container 5 at the time of delivery. Therefore, in the example of conveyance shown in FIG. 1 as shown to Fig.6 (a), temperature data become out of management temperature range A at the time of each delivery of conveyance destination P1-P3. However, it is obvious that this temperature anomaly is caused by taking out the medicine and the temperature measuring device 2 for delivery, and the container 5 is immediately sealed at the time of delivery, so the temperature change in the container 5 is also It is suppressed. Therefore, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), by correcting the measured temperature during each delivery period DT1 to DT3 in which the cause of the temperature abnormality is obvious, it is possible to transport to a plurality of transport destinations and transport efficiency. To ensure the reliability of the monitoring results of the transport status.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the correction unit 22 sets a predetermined time before the operation time B when the delivery button 2c is operated as a previous delivery period dta and a predetermined time after the operation time B as a late delivery period dtb. The delivery period DT before and after the operation time B is set by adding up. The temperature data during the delivery period DT is the data to be corrected. This setting is performed when the delivery button 2c is operated, that is, for each of the current transport destination and the already transported transport destination. In the example shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, it is executed with respect to the operation times B1 to B3 of the three delivery buttons 2c at the current transfer destination P3 and the transfer destinations P1 and P2 which have already been transferred.

  When correcting temperature data during the delivery period DT, the determination unit 21 first determines whether the temperature data measured at the measurement time mt1 immediately before the start time st of the delivery period DT has a normal value. . As shown in FIG. 8A, when the temperature data measured at the immediately preceding measurement time mt1 is a normal value, the correction unit 22 corrects the temperature data in the delivery period DT immediately after that to a normal value and corrects the temperature data Generate In the example of the figure, the temperature data within the delivery period DT is regarded as the measurement value of the measurement time mt1 immediately before and is corrected to that value. Without the process of “delivery”, the temperature (measurement data) in a period corresponding to the delivery period DT is considered to be substantially constant and stable. Therefore, in the present embodiment, correction is performed using the normal value measured at the measurement time mt1 so as to reproduce a normal conveyance state.

  The example shown in FIG. 8B is different from FIG. 8A in that the temperature data measured at the start time st of the delivery period DT is a normal value. In such a case, the temperature data measured at the start time st is not corrected, and the temperature data in the subsequent delivery period DT is corrected. Also in the example of the figure, the temperature data in the delivery period DT after the temperature data measured at the start time st is corrected to the measured value of the start time st. As described above, temperature data indicating normal values continuously from the start time st may be displayed without correction.

  Furthermore, the example shown in FIG. 8C is different from FIGS. 8A and 8B in that the temperature data measured at measurement time mt3 immediately before the end time ft of the delivery period DT is a normal value. In such a case, the delivery period adjustment unit 21a shortens the delivery period DT with the measurement time mt3 as the shortened delivery period DT '. Then, the temperature data not normal within the shortened delivery period DT 'is corrected to the measured value of the measurement time mt1 immediately before the start time st of the shortened delivery period DT'. The adjustment of the delivery period can be performed when the temperature data in the late delivery period dtb after the operation time B includes temperature data that is a normal value. By shortening the delivery period DT, it is possible to lengthen the time for temperature monitoring and improve the monitoring accuracy. For example, as indicated by the broken line G0 'in the same figure, when an abnormal value continues immediately after the measurement time mt3, it becomes possible to perform abnormality notification more quickly.

Next, the procedure from the loading of the conveyed product M to the completion of delivery will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the warehouse which is the transfer start point P0, the medicines m1 to m3 of the transfer destinations P1 to P3 are accommodated in the container 5 together with the temperature measurement device 2 and loaded on the transfer vehicle C (S1). At this time, for example, the temperature measurement is started by operating the operation button 2 f 2 of the temperature measurement device 2.

  During transport (S2), as shown in FIG. 10, the operation of the delivery button 2c is confirmed (S21), and if not operated, if a predetermined measurement interval (n minutes) elapses (S22), the temperature sensor 2j The temperature in the container 5 (conveyance) is measured (S23). Then, if a predetermined communication interval (m minutes) has elapsed (S24), the data transmission unit 24 transmits temperature data of that period to the mobile terminal 4 (S25). On the other hand, if the communication interval (m minutes) has not elapsed, the determination unit 21 determines whether the temperature is normal (S26) and whether it is continuous for a predetermined number of times (h times) (S27). If not normal, temperature data and judgment data are transmitted (S28). When the operation of the delivery button 2c is operated, if it is the first time, the process of the first transport destination (S3) is executed, and if it is not the first time, the process of the other transport destination (S6) is executed.

  When the first transfer destination P1 is reached, the medicine m1 and the temperature measurement device 2 are taken out of the container 5 and delivered to the recipient of the first transfer destination P1 (S3). At this time, all temperature data and position information are transmitted to the server 3 through the mobile terminal 4 by the operation of the delivery button 2 c. At the beginning of the temperature measurement, the temperature of the temperature measuring device 2 itself has not dropped, so as shown in FIG. 6 (b), in the correction transition graph G1, the measured temperature data first falls within the management temperature range It is good to display from time ft0.

  Then, if there is another transfer destination (S4), the user presses the measurement start button 2f2 of the temperature measurement device 2, again stores the temperature measurement device 2 in the container 5, and follows the flowchart shown in FIG. While monitoring the status of the medicines m1 to m3 in the container 5, transport to the next transport destination. During transport (S5), the same process as described above is performed.

  When arriving at the second transfer destination P2, the medicine m2 and the temperature measuring device 2 are taken out of the container 5 and delivered to the recipient of the second transfer destination P2 (S6). Here, as shown in FIG. 11, as described above, when the second delivery button 2c is operated, the delivery period corresponding to the first and second conveyance destinations P1 and P2 is determined by the determination unit 21 and the correction unit 22. The temperature data is corrected while DT1 and DT2 are set. Then, for example, the correction transition graph is output to the display device 2b of the temperature measurement device 2 by the graph generation unit 23a. Since the display device 2b is provided on the outer surface of the housing 2d, a graph can be presented to the recipient on the spot, and the credibility of the transport state can be secured. Also at this time, all temperature data and position information are transmitted to the server 3 via the mobile terminal 4 by the operation of the delivery button 2c. Here, for example, by the operation of the display switching button 2f3, the display switching unit 25 may switch between the corrected transition graph G1 and the original transition graph G0 which is not corrected.

  Then, when there is another transport destination (S7), steps S5 and S6 are repeatedly executed. In the case of the final transport destination P3, similarly to the above, the delivery periods DT1 to DT3 corresponding to the first to third transport destinations P1 to P3 are set and the temperature data is corrected. Then, for example, a corrected transition graph as shown in FIG. 6B is output to the display device 2b of the temperature measurement device 2 by the graph generation unit 23a. In the example shown in the figure, at the current transfer destination P3, the end time ft of the delivery period DT3 is set as the operation time B of the delivery button, and the temperature data measured at the measurement time mt3 immediately before the start time of the delivery period DT3 is corrected. It is good to do. Then, for example, the temperature monitoring device 2 completes the temperature monitoring by the operation of the mobile terminal 4. Finally, all temperature data and position information are sent to the server 3.

  As described above, by measuring the temperature in the container 5 in real time, since the temperature condition of the medicines m1 to m3 is monitored, it is possible to always grasp the environment in which the goods such as medicines are placed. is there. Therefore, when the conveyed product is out of the management temperature for a certain period before delivery, the manager can instruct in advance the arrangement of redelivery of the conveyed product and the conveyance cancellation to the carrier.

Finally, the possibilities of other embodiments of the invention are mentioned. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member similar to the above-mentioned embodiment.
In the above embodiment, the mobile terminal 4 is used as means for acquiring position information and transferring temperature data, but may be omitted. For example, data may be transmitted directly from the temperature measurement device 2 to the server 3. In addition, the mobile terminal 4 and the server 3 are omitted and the temperature measurement device 2 is used alone, and the measured temperature data is recorded in the temperature measurement device 2 and the measurement data is taken out via another recording medium. Also good. However, another means is required for acquiring position information, and since the accuracy of temperature history information is reduced if position information is omitted, the above-described embodiment is better.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the correction transition graph is generated by the graph generation unit 23a and displayed on the display device 2b. However, it is possible to display not only the display in the graph format but also the display in the form of a table or results (whether or not delivery is possible).

  In the above embodiment, the correction unit 22 corrects the temperature data in the delivery period DT or the shortened delivery period DT 'to the measurement value of the measurement time mt1 immediately before the start time st of the delivery periods. However, the correction method is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the value on the line segment connecting the measurement value of measurement time mt1 immediately before delivery period DT and the measurement value of measurement time mt2 immediately after end time ft of delivery period DT with a straight line You may correct it. By correcting in a linear manner, when a slight temperature change occurs before and after the delivery period, the graph does not become an unnatural temperature change graph, and the reliability of the data does not decrease. Further, in the above embodiment, the temperature data of the delivery period is also corrected to the temperature data measured at the measurement time immediately before the start time of the delivery period even at the current transport destination. However, for example, in the case where the conveyed product M and the temperature measuring device 2 are taken out of the container 5 in front of the recipient at the current conveyance destination, the situation is clear. Absent.

  The present invention can be used as a transport state monitoring system, temperature measurement device, and transport state monitoring method that can transport to a plurality of transport destinations with a single device and can present the transport state of a transport object at each transport destination.
