JP6880357B2 - Guidance device for mountain climbing using IC tags - Google Patents

Description

It relates to a guide device for mountain climbing or the like using an IC tag (also called RFID, electronic tag, RF tag, etc.).

In recent years, various measures have been taken to prevent the distress of climbers. For example, basic preventive measures include maintenance of mountain trails, information for mountaineers, or grasping of mountaineers in case of emergency, and enhancement of maps for knowing the location information of mountaineers. However, there are many climbing routes in the mountains, and it is difficult to completely cover them. For this reason, attempts have been made to manage the safety of mountaineers by installing a large number of IC tags and readers along the mountaineering route (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

However, these methods have problems such as high installation cost, difficult management, and the need for a special power source, and are not yet sufficiently widespread. Moreover, in some cases, it may infringe on the privacy of individuals. Therefore, there has been a strong demand for a system that is simpler, cheaper, and more practical.

JP-A-2002-133039 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-303696

One of the major problems in mountaineering is the area of communication equipment. Recently, the communication area of information and communication devices such as mobile phones, smartphones (hereinafter referred to as smartphones), and tablets has expanded, and the nationwide non-communication area has also shrunk, but it still does not cover all of the vast mountainous areas. ..

Furthermore, each climber has a wide range of climbing routes and activities, and it is difficult to grasp the trends of climbers, and it is difficult to respond in the event of an accident.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide information and a guidance device that can enjoy mountain climbing more reliably and safely by effectively using the IC tag.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the guidance device according to the present invention comprises a reader that reads IC tags, two IC tags that record necessary information in advance , and a personal computer for an administrator, and the two IC tags have the same administrator. Web address is recorded, one of them records the address of the information transmission destination registered in the administrator's personal computer, and the other one records the content of the information desired to be searched. The Web address is recorded, and by reading the two IC tags in a superposed state with a reader, it is possible to obtain the necessary information via the personal computer for the administrator. It is a feature.

The reader that reads the IC tag is fixedly installed at the main passing points and resting places such as mountain climbing routes and mountain lodges, and the information of the IC tag read by this reader is configured to be provided to a personal computer specified in advance. It is convenient to be done.

In the circumstances, there kindergarten children that are not in possession of the communication equipment of this kind, elementary school students, also climbers, such as the elderly. Nowadays, communication devices with reader functions such as smartphones, tablets, and mobile phones have become widespread, and although it is often owned by individuals, all people including those who do not carry information and communication devices are included. There are increasing demands for the system to be used. The present invention can also meet such requirements.

The reason for dividing the IC tag into two is to facilitate the selection of necessary information by dividing the IC tag into two, and to prevent leakage of personal information and to take security measures. IC tags may be involved in skimming crimes, and skimming may lead to leakage of personal information. Dividing the card into two will prevent skimming. In addition, personal information is of course secured even when the card is discarded or lost. That is, even if one card is lost, stolen, or skimmed, even if only one card is touched, it basically does not work. Of course, it is possible to use general information other than the disclosed personal information. Information can be obtained with two cards, so it is excellent in security.

It is explanatory drawing of the Example of this invention. It is explanatory drawing of the specific reading method. It is explanatory drawing of the Example different from the above.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a plate (referred to as a “touch plate”) provided with an IC tag reader for reading an IC tag is installed at an appropriate position on each mountain trail. By holding the IC tag over the IC tag reader of the touch plate, the information of the IC tag can be read. The two IC tags A and B are usually used in an overlapping state in an electromagnetic wave (or radio wave) area. When used individually, the touch time difference between the two IC cards is profitable.

The present invention is characterized in that two IC tags are used, and by superimposing the recorded contents of the two IC tags and reading them with a reader, the sites other than the sites unique to each of the two IC tags are used. It will be possible to access the third site and obtain private information. When the two IC tags are read separately instead of being overlapped with each other, they may be read in order within a predetermined time.

The contents of the two IC tags are as follows. The first IC tag A serves as an information transmission destination. Normally, the destination of information is the address of a smartphone, tablet, or mobile phone brought by the mountaineer, but it can also be sent to the mountaineer leader or guardian. Of course, it can also be sent to your home computer. It is sufficient to have as many IC cards as the required number of destinations in advance.

The second IC card B is a type card for the purpose and use. This card is an individual card such as information necessary for mountain climbing, such as a map of the surrounding area, weather forecast, information on nearby emergency shelters, mountain lodge information, toilets, mountain climbing and tourist guides in the surrounding area. By superimposing the target second card B on the first card A and reading it, it is possible to quickly and easily obtain only the necessary information from the overflowing information on the website.

Therefore, by carrying the second IC card B in which the desired information is recorded in advance for the desired number of information types, the IC tag B is selected as necessary, and the first IC tag A is used to immediately obtain the desired information. Information can be obtained.

The operation of software when these two IC tags are used is conceptually shown as follows by imitating the operation of a person. First, when IC tag A is held over the reader, the message "IC tag A has been recognized. Please hold the second IC tag B over." Will be displayed. When the second IC tag B is recognized, the software displays "The two IC tags have been recognized. The registration site will be opened." And the Web of the registration site will be opened. This operation image is not actually displayed to the user and is executed instantly. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of this state. The touch order of the IC tags A and B does not matter.

The IC tag A is a personal recognition card, and the personal usage history can be kept as a record for a certain period of time. The unique number, usage time and location record of IC tag A are effective in the unlikely event of an accident. Since the personal information data is not directly recorded on the IC tag A in case of loss, it is necessary to link the IC tag A with the owner's personal information. In that case, it may be registered separately with the system administrator or the like. Separate registration is up to the user, but in the unlikely event that IC tag A is touched, the card number and individual will be collated by collating another data, and it will be known who passed that point and when, so an accident will occur. Name registration is even more valid when it occurs.

Although the IC tag has been described in the form of a card, it is easy for climbers to carry and, as shown in FIG. 3, it is easy to take out the IC tag as needed. For example, there is no problem with a belt, a mobile phone strap, or a doll shape. If one is a mobile phone strap and the other is attached to a doll, it is difficult to touch them at once, so they will be touched individually. Therefore, there will be a time lag until the two IC tags are touched. Normally, if the reader detects the IC tag, it will instantly guide you to the Web. Therefore, it is necessary to set a reaction time difference (second) margin between detecting the first IC tag and detecting the second IC tag. Further, if the time difference is set for a long time, the user feels inconvenience and impairs convenience. Therefore, it is desirable that the time difference t between detecting the first IC tag and detecting the second IC tag is within 10 seconds. If the read time exceeds the set time, the operation will be stopped.

The touch plate (fixed reader) for reading the IC tag requires a power source, but the power source used may be a battery or solar power generation. In addition, the touch plate will come standard with a reader / writer function for those who do not bring communication equipment. If you bring a smartphone with a reader function, you can use your smartphone as a substitute for the touch plate without using the touch plate. The touch plate is a guide device necessary for all climbers, including those who do not carry smartphones.

The data on the touch plate is stored in a recording medium such as an SD card in the event of a interruption, and in the unlikely event that the police, fire department, local municipalities, or other rescue teams take out the SD card or copy the data on the SD card. Further, only the information of the touch plate T in the radio wave non-communication area is stored in the SD card from the beginning. It should be noted that the information in the radio wave non-communication area can be periodically transmitted to the administrator via the SD card data via the network.

If the touch plate T is installed not only in the mountains but also in the surrounding hot spring areas, parking lots, or in the foothills area where there are many climbers, travelers, tourists, etc. such as stations, this system will be used after getting off the station. Will be available to tourists other than climbers. In that case, the touch plate T is fixed to a fixed object such as a station, a souvenir shop, a hotel, an inn, a shop, a convenience store, a telephone pole, or a sign. It is also good to attach it to a vending machine for drinks. IC tag B used in the foot area, tourist area, etc. also covers hotel information, restaurant information, tourist souvenirs, timetables, history information, etc.

In addition to this, it can be used for various purposes. For example, when you park your car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and climb a mountain, if you enter the scheduled descent time into the second mountain climbing card B, which is the usage card, you can use the mountain climbing card on the touch plate T on the way. It is also possible to obtain information on the required time to the parking lot by repeatedly reading it with a reader. If you make a mistake on the downhill road, you will exceed the required time to the parking lot, so you can notice the mistake on the road early.

For all IC tag destination addresses of IC tag A and IC tag B, the address of the site of the master administrator (pointing to the system administrator) is input.

When the user newly obtains the IC card A, the IC card A, which is the information destination designation card, has the Web address of the master administrator entered in the card A, but the information destination designation has not been entered. Is. When the user first obtains the IC card A, the destination address is initially registered from the screen of a personal computer, smartphone, tablet, or the like. Multiple destinations can be set. The address registered as the destination is managed by the master administrator. Register the cardholder's personal record if necessary. Since these data are only stored by the master administrator and are not directly recorded on the IC card A, even if they are lost, they can be a measure to prevent leakage of personal information to a third party.

Further, it is necessary to set an expiration date for the IC card A and the IC card B. The expiration date of the IC card A is managed by the administrator, and in the case of the IC card A whose expiration date has passed, information is blocked. The management of the expiration date of the card B is the role of the information creator, the content creator, the manager, and the like.

If the master administrator confirms the expiration date of the IC card and the combination of the IC cards A and B, the master administrator transfers the IC card to the issuer of the IC card B, that is, the person in charge of managing the contents. In this case, the content manager will process it as a sub-administrator. Anyone can operate the sub-manager, for example, a local mountaineering association, a tourist association, a souvenir shop, etc. Further, the master administrator can also serve as the issuer of the IC tag B, that is, as a sub-administrator.

The operation when the IC tag is used will be described. The unique number of the IC tag is entered in the number field of the touched reader. Although both the IC card A and the IC card B are the same type of IC tag, the numbers of the IC card A and the IC card B are registered and sorted when the master administrator registers the IC tag. The IC card A is a transfer destination of information, but the user inputs the transfer destination of the information by himself / herself. Also, if the expiration date of the IC card A has passed, it cannot be transferred to the sub-administrator. Furthermore, even if the combination of card A and card B is inappropriate, it cannot be transferred to the sub-administrator. Such a program is often used, but this management table is an example, and various designs can be made according to the usage area and purpose.

When the expiration date of the IC tag A, the set number of seconds, the card combination, and the destination of the information are confirmed by the master administrator, the data is transferred to the sub-administrator. The sub-administrator confirms the expiration date management of the IC tag B.

This guidance device can obtain unexpected effects by using a set of two IC tags for guidance, and it is possible to easily obtain information by selecting only various necessary information. Become. Moreover, it is overwhelmingly excellent in safety against skimming and the like.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has become excellent in practicality because it is easy to operate and requires low equipment cost. It is clear that this device can be used not only for mountaineering but also as a guide device for general urban areas, towns and other facilities.
