The plurality of detection devices 102 are installed on the floor to be displayed and form a plurality of detection areas different from each other. Further, each detection device 10 transmits the radio tag ID received from the radio tag 103 and the detection device ID of its own device to the external server 108.

The plurality of detection areas formed by the plurality of detection devices 102 can be moved to a place different from the floor to be displayed (for example, other floors, outside the hospital 101, etc.) without going through other detection areas1. It includes one or more detection areas (hereinafter referred to as external connection areas).

For example, in FIG. 29, the detection area (passage 3G) formed by the detection devices 102-39 is an external connection area because it can be moved to another floor or the like by using the stairs A without going through another detection area. .. Similarly, the detection area (passage 3B) formed by the detection device 102-16 can be moved to another floor or the like by using the stairs B without going through another detection area, and thus becomes an external connection area. Further, the detection area (passage 3F) formed by the detection device 102-38 can be moved to another floor or the like by using an EV (elevator) without going through another detection area, and thus becomes an external connection area.

Further, in the plurality of detection areas formed by the plurality of detection devices 102, one or more detection areas (hereinafter, normal areas) that cannot be moved to a place different from the floor to be displayed without going through other detection areas. Called) is included. Further, the normal area includes a default detection area (hereinafter, referred to as a default area) corresponding to each display target attribute.

For example, in FIG. 29, the detection area other than the above-mentioned external connection area cannot be moved to another floor or the like without going through the other detection area, and thus becomes a normal area. Further, for example, the hospital room in which the patient 104 is hospitalized becomes the default area of the patient 104, and the nurse station becomes the default area of the nurse.

As described above, the plurality of detection areas formed by the plurality of detection devices 102 include a normal area (first detection area), a default area corresponding to the display target (second detection area), and an external connection area (external connection area). A third detection area) is included.

Returning to FIG. 27 again, the description of the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 110 will be further continued.

The identification unit 714 is realized by, for example, a program executed by the CPU 301 of FIG. 3, and identifies a patient 104 detected on the floor to be displayed and a patient 104 detected on another floor. The function of the specific unit 714 is the same as that of the specific unit 714 shown in FIG. 7.

The correction control unit 2712 is realized by, for example, a program executed by the CPU 301 of FIG. 3, and when the position information of the display target is not detected, the correction control unit 2712 displays the display target for a predetermined period according to the detection area where the display target was last detected. Correct the position information of the target. For example, when the correction control unit 2712 includes a detection area in which the display target is not detected, the position information of the display target is assumed to be detected in the detection area where the display target is last detected. To correct.

FIG. 30A shows an example of the correction information 2722. In the example of FIG. 30A, the correction information 2722 corresponds to the "attribute" of the display target and the detection area (default area, normal area, external connection area, etc.) in which the display target was last detected. Information on the "correction period" is stored.

For example, in FIG. 30A, when the attribute of the display target for which the position information is not detected is "patient" and the detection area where the display target is last detected is the "default area", the correction period is 2 hours. It is shown to be. Further, when the attribute of the display target for which the position information is not detected is "patient" and the detection area where the display target is last detected is the "normal area", it is shown that the correction period is 1 hour. There is.

In the present embodiment, the wireless tag 103 worn by the display target transmits the wireless tag ID at a relatively short time interval of, for example, about 3 to 5 seconds. As a result, for example, in FIG. 29, when the patient 104 hospitalized in the hospital room 301 leaves the hospital room 301, the position information is detected in another detection region (for example, the passage 3A).

Therefore, for example, in FIG. 29, when the position information of the patient 104 hospitalized in the hospital room 301 is not detected and the position information of the patient 104 is not detected in another detection area (for example, passage 3A), the patient. 104 can be presumed to be in hospital room 301.

Further, when the patient 104 is in the hospital room 301 which is the default area, for example, it is assumed that the state in which the wireless tag ID cannot be detected in the shadow of the sleeping patient 104 continues longer than in the normal area. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 30A, the correction period of the default area is set longer than the correction period of the normal area.

Similarly, for example, a medical person 2701 is considered to be in a default area such as a nurse station for a relatively long time if it is a nurse, and the device 2702 is placed in a default area such as a warehouse. It is thought that the time spent is relatively long. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 30A, the correction period (second period) of the default area is set longer than the correction period (first period) of the normal area.

Further, in the example of FIG. 30A, when the attribute of the display target for which the position information is not detected is "patient" and the detection area where the display target is last detected is the "external connection area", the correction period is It is set to "No correction". This is because if the display target is detected in the external connection area and then the location information is no longer detected, the display target may have moved to a different location from the display target floor, so the position of the display target is estimated. Because it cannot be done.

The correction information 2722 shown in FIG. 30A is just an example, and the “attribute” and the “correction period” may be further subdivided.

FIG. 30B shows another example of the correction information 2722. In the example of FIG. 30 (b), the attribute "medical personnel" is subdivided into a plurality of attributes such as "doctor" and "nurse", and the attribute "device" is "ventilator" and "artificial respirator". It is subdivided into multiple attributes such as "wheelchair".

Further, in the example of FIG. 30B, the "external connection area" is subdivided into a "staircase area" and an "EV area", and the correction period (first period) shorter than the correction period (first period) of the normal area (first period). Period of 3) is set.

For example, when the patient 104 moves from the third floor to another floor (for example, the first floor) using the staircase B in FIG. 31, the position information of the patient 104 is temporarily (for example, about one minute) not detected. However, it is thought that the location information of the patient 104 will soon be detected on other floors. In the example of FIG. 30B, the correction control unit 2712 is set to correct the position information during the period when the position information of the display target is temporarily not detected.

When the position information of the display target is not detected, the correction control unit 2712 acquires the correction period using the correction information 2722 as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), and the acquired correction period and the position of the display target. Correct the information so that it is the last detected detection area. For example, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of the display target so that the display target is detected in the detection area where the display target is last detected during the acquired correction period.

The display control unit 715 is realized by, for example, a program executed by the CPU 301 of FIG. 3, and displays the information of the display target on the layout diagram 210 to be displayed on the display screen of the display device 111 or the like by using the position information of the display target. Display.

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the display device according to the sixth embodiment. As an example, FIG. 31 shows an image of a display screen 200 displayed on a display device 111 provided in a nurse station or the like on the third floor (an example of a predetermined area) of a hospital 101.

The display screen 200 shown in FIG. 31 includes a layout diagram 210 on the third floor of the hospital 101, a display area 220 on another floor, and the like. In this embodiment, the display area 220 on another floor is not essential.

Further, the display device 111 may display the legend 230 and the like of a plurality of icons displayed on the display screen 200 together with the display screen 200.

Layout FIG. 210 shows the arrangement of rooms, passages, and the like on the floor to be displayed. In the example of FIG. 2, layout FIG. 210 shows the arrangement of a plurality of hospital rooms 211, a nurse station 212, a dining room 213, stairs 214, an EV (elevator) 3105, and the like.

In FIG. 31, the three-digit number shown at the top of each room 211 indicates the number of the room. Inside the hospital room 301, for example, four bed icons 216 corresponding to the positions of the beds installed in the hospital room 301 are displayed, and a bed corresponding to the bed icon is used above each bed icon 216. The name of the patient is shown.

In the example of FIG. 31, the bed icon 216 indicates whether or not the inpatient is in the hospital room to which the inpatient belongs and the gender of the inpatient. For example, as shown in Legend 230, the bed icon 231 which is round and hatched inside indicates that the inpatient is in the hospital room and is of male gender. Further, the bed icon 232, which is round and has no hatching inside, indicates that the inpatient is not present in the hospital room and the gender is male.

Similarly, the bed icon 235, which is rectangular and hatched inside with diagonal lines, indicates that the inpatient is in the hospital room and is of female gender. Further, the bed icon 236, which is rectangular and has no hatching inside, indicates that the inpatient is not present in the hospital room and the gender is female.

The round dashed bed icon 234 also indicates that the corresponding bed is vacant, indicating that the inpatient is not using it.

With this bed icon, a medical person who sees the display screen 200 can easily determine whether or not the inpatient belonging to the floor is in the hospital room to which the patient belongs.

Further, in layout diagram 210, when an inpatient who is not in the hospital room to which the patient belongs is on the floor, the movement icons 233 and 237 indicating the position of the inpatient and the movement icons 233 and 237 are supported. The name of the inpatient to do is displayed. For example, in FIG. 31, it is shown that the patient 30 is not present in the hospital room 308 to which the patient belongs, but is in front of the hospital room 312.

Further, when the display target is the medical personnel 2701, the medical personnel icon 3101 indicating the position of the medical personnel 2701 is displayed on the layout diagram 210. For example, in the example of FIG. 31, it is shown that nurse A is in front of stairs B and nurse B is at nurse station 212.

Further, when the display target is the device 2702, the device icon 3102 indicating the position of the device 2702 is displayed in the layout diagram 210. For example, in the example of FIG. 31, it is shown that the device A is in the warehouse and the device B is in the nurse station 212.

In this way, the layout diagram 210 displayed on the display screen 200 contains information on the display target (current position, name, presence / absence information, etc.) detected on the floor using the position information of the display target. Is displayed.

The display method shown in FIG. 31 is an example of a display method for displaying information to be displayed. In the present embodiment, the information to be displayed may be displayed by a display method different from that in FIG. For example, the information of the patient 104 may be indicated by the moving icons 233 and 237 indicating the current position without using the bed icon, as in the medical personnel 2701 and the device 2702.

Further, in the display area 220 of the other floor, information regarding the position of the inpatient detected on another floor (for example, the first floor, the second floor, the fourth floor, and the fifth floor) in the hospital 101 is displayed in a list. .. For example, in the example of FIG. 31, it is shown that the patient 51 who is hospitalized in the hospital room 315 is not in the hospital room 315 but is on the first floor.

<Processing flow>
Subsequently, the flow of processing of the display control method according to the sixth embodiment will be described.

(Display processing of information processing equipment)
FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing an example of display processing of the information processing apparatus according to the sixth embodiment. Since the basic processing is the same as the processing of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

In step S3201, the information management unit 2711 acquires information to be displayed such as the patient 104, the medical personnel 2701, and the device 2702 detected on the floor to be displayed from the management information 2721 stored in the storage unit 717. do.

In step S3202, the position information management unit 713 acquires the detection information of the wireless tag 103 attached to the display target detected on the floor to be displayed. For example, the location information management unit 713 acquires the detection information corresponding to the wireless tag ID included in the management information 2721 from the external server 108.

In step S3203, the position information management unit 713 creates position information 722 indicating the detection area where the display target is detected from the acquired detection information and the floor information 723 stored in advance, and stores the position information 722 in, for example, the storage unit 717. ..

In step S3204, the correction control unit 2712 executes, for example, correction processing of the position information described later in FIG. 33 or 37 with respect to the display target for which the position information is not detected.

In step S3205, the specific unit 714 includes the patient 104 detected on the floor among the patients 104 belonging to the floor to be displayed and other patients 104 based on the correspondence between the management information 2721 and the position information of the display target. Identify patients detected on the floor.

In step S3206, the display control unit 715 causes the layout diagram 210 displayed on the display screen 200 to display the information of the display target detected on the floor. For example, as shown in FIG. 31, the display control unit 715 causes the layout diagram 210 to display the information of the display target detected on the floor.

In step S3207, the display control unit 715 has the patient 104 detected on a floor different from the floor among the patients 104 detected on the floor in the display area 220 of the other floor displayed on the display screen 200. Display a list of information about the location of. For example, as shown in FIG. 31, the display control unit 715 causes the display area 220 on the other floor to display the information of the patient 104 detected on the other floor. In this embodiment, the process of step S3207 is not essential.

(Position information correction process 1)
FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an example of the position information correction process according to the sixth embodiment. This process shows an example of the position information correction process executed by the correction control unit 2712 in step S3204 of FIG.

In step S3301, the correction control unit 2712 identifies a display target for which position information has not been detected, for example, by using the position information 722 managed by the position information management unit 713.

In step S3302, the correction control unit 2712 branches the process depending on whether or not there is a display target for which position information has not been detected.

If there is no display target for which the position information has not been detected, the correction control unit 2712 ends the correction process of the position information. On the other hand, when there is a display target for which the position information is not detected, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3303.

When the process proceeds to step S3303, the correction control unit 2712 acquires the history of the position information of the display target for which the position information has not been detected.

FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of the history of position information according to the sixth embodiment. Here, as an example, the following description will be given assuming that the position information of the nurse A and the patient 11 is not detected among the display targets included in the management information 2721 shown in FIG. 28.

FIG. 34 (a) shows an example of the history of the position information of the nurse A. The history of location information includes information such as "wireless tag ID", "detection date and time", "detection device ID", and "detection area". Provided from 713.

The "wireless tag ID" is identification information of the wireless tag 103 worn by the display target.

The "detection date and time" is information indicating the date and time when the location information was detected. In the detection date and time of FIG. 34, “aa”, “bb”, “cc”, “dd”, ... Indicates “seconds”, and position information is provided at predetermined time intervals (for example, about 3 to 5 seconds). It is assumed that the history of is recorded.

The "detection device ID" is the identification information of the detection device 102 that detected the "radio tag ID" in the "detection date and time". The "detection area" is information indicating a detection area formed by the detection device 102 corresponding to the "detection device ID".

In the example of FIG. 34 (a), the nurse A wearing the wireless tag 103 that transmits the wireless tag ID “xxxxx2001” is in the “passageway” during the detection date and time “20xx.9.11 8:19: aa to cc”. It is shown that it was detected in "3B". Further, the nurse A is shown that the position information is not detected at the detection date and time "20xx.9.11 8:19: dd".

Referring to the arrangement of the detection device in FIG. 29, since the “passage 3B” is an “external connection area” that can be moved to another floor or the like by using the stairs B without going through another detection area, FIG. 34 (a). ), It is not possible to determine whether or not Nurse A is on the third floor at the detection date and time "20xx.9.11 8:19: dd" from the position information of Nurse A.

FIG. 34 (b) shows an example of the history of the position information of the patient 11. In the example of FIG. 34 (b), the patient 11 wearing the wireless tag 103 that transmits the wireless tag ID “xxxx00001” is in the “hospital room 301” during the detection date and time “20xx.9.11 8:19: aa to bb”. It is shown that it was detected in. Further, it is shown that the patient 11 does not detect the position information at the detection date and time "20xx.9.11 8:19: cc to dd".

Referring to the arrangement of the detection device in FIG. 29, since the “hospital room 301” is a “normal area” that cannot be moved to another floor or the like without going through another detection area (passage 3A), the patient 11 can move from the sickroom 301. If moved, it should be detected in another detection area (eg, passage 3A).

Note that tag lost in which the wireless tag ID transmitted by the wireless tag 103 is not detected by the detection device 102 often occurs when the wireless tag 103 is not moving, and is unlikely to occur when the wireless tag 103 is moving. However, it is known experimentally. Therefore, from the position information of the patient 11 shown in FIG. 34 (b), it can be estimated that the patient 11 is in the hospital room 301 at the detection date and time “20xx.9.11 8:19: cc to dd”.

Returning to FIG. 33, the explanation of the flowchart will be continued.

In steps S3304 to S3311, the correction control unit 2712 of the information processing apparatus 110 executes the correction process of the position information by using, for example, the correction information 2722 shown in FIG. 30A.

In step S3304, the correction control unit 2712 determines whether the last detection area to be displayed is the external connection area.

When the last detection area to be displayed is the external connection area, the correction information 2722 shown in FIG. 30 (a) is "no correction", so the correction control unit 2712 cancels the correction processing of the position information and processes it. To end.

On the other hand, when the last detection area to be displayed is not the external connection area, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3305.

When the process proceeds to step S3305, the correction control unit 2712 identifies the attribute of the display target by using, for example, the management information 2721 as shown in FIG. 28, and determines whether the last detection area is the default area of the display target. to decide.

When the last detection area is the default area to be displayed, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3306. On the other hand, if the last detection area is not the default area to be displayed, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3309.

When the process proceeds to step S3306, the correction control unit 2712 acquires, for example, the correction period of the default area corresponding to the attribute to be displayed from the correction information 2722 shown in FIG. 30A. In the example of FIG. 30A, the correction period of the default area is 2 hours when the attribute to be displayed is "patient", 30 minutes when it is "medical personnel", and 24 hours when it is "device". ..

In step S3307, the correction control unit 2712 determines whether the current date and time is within the correction period of the default area acquired in step S3306 from the date and time when the display target was last detected.

If it is not within the correction period of the predetermined area, the correction control unit 2712 ends the process. On the other hand, if it is within the correction period of the predetermined area, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3308.

When the process proceeds to step S3308, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of the display target so that the display target is the last detected detection area. For example, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of the display target so that the display target is detected in the detection area where the display target is last detected.

When the process shifts to step S3309, the correction control unit 2712 acquires, for example, the correction period of the normal area corresponding to the attribute to be displayed from the correction information 2722 shown in FIG. 30A. In the example of FIG. 30A, the correction period of the normal area is 1 hour when the attribute to be displayed is "patient", 10 minutes when it is "medical personnel", and 2 hours when it is "device". ..

In step S3310, the correction control unit 2712 determines whether the current date and time is within the correction period of the normal area acquired in step S3306 from the date and time when the display target was last detected.

If it is not within the correction period of the normal area, the correction control unit 2712 ends the process. On the other hand, if it is within the correction period of the normal area, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3311.

When the process shifts to step S3311, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information to be displayed so that it becomes the last detected detection area. For example, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of the display target so that the display target is detected in the detection area where the display target is last detected.

In the above processing, for example, in the position information of nurse A shown in FIG. 34 (a), since the detection area detected last is the external connection area, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of nurse A. I won't get it.

On the other hand, for example, in the position information of the patient 11 shown in FIG. 34 (b), since the last detected detection area is the normal area (or the default area), the position information of the patient 11 is, for example, by the correction control unit 2712. , Corrected as shown in FIG. 34 (c).

As described above, when the position information of the display target is not detected, the correction control unit 2712 according to the present embodiment finally detects the display target for a predetermined period according to the detection area where the display target is last detected. The position information of the display target is corrected so that the display target is detected in the detection area.

<Example of display screen>
FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen when the correction according to the sixth embodiment is not performed. In this figure, on the display screen 200 of the display device shown in FIG. 31, the wireless tag ID of the wireless tag 103 worn by the nurse A and the patient 11 cannot be detected, and the correction according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 33. An example of the display screen 200 when no processing is performed is shown.

As shown in FIG. 35, when the correction process according to the present embodiment is not performed, even if the patient 11 is in the hospital room 301, the wireless tag ID cannot be acquired, so that the bed icon indicating absence can be obtained. 3501 is displayed. On the display screen 200 shown in FIG. 35, for example, the nurse B at the nurse station cannot confirm the whereabouts of the patient 11 on the display screen 200, and therefore goes to the hospital room 301 to confirm the safety as necessary. Originally unnecessary actions are required.

FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example of the corrected display screen according to the sixth embodiment. In this figure, on the display screen 200 of the display device shown in FIG. 31, the wireless tag ID of the wireless tag 103 worn by the nurse A and the patient 11 cannot be detected, and the correction according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 33. An example of the display screen 200 when the process is executed is shown.

As shown in FIG. 36, when the correction process according to the present embodiment is performed, if the patient 11 is in the hospital room 301, even if the wireless tag ID cannot be acquired, a predetermined period (for example, the patient). The bed icon 3501 indicating the occupancy is displayed. As a result, the nurse B at the nurse station can confirm the whereabouts of the patient 11 on the display screen 200, so that the unnecessary behavior of going to the hospital room 301 to confirm the safety is suppressed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the information processing apparatus 110 for displaying the information of the display target detected in the predetermined area on the display device 111, when the display target is in the predetermined area, the position is erroneous. It is possible to reduce the provision of information.

(Another example)
<Processing flow>
(Position information correction process 2)
FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing another example of the position information correction process according to the sixth embodiment. This processing shows an example of processing when the correction control unit 2712 of the information processing apparatus 110 executes the correction processing of the position information by using, for example, the correction information 2722 as shown in FIG. 30B. .. Since the basic processing is the same as the correction processing shown in FIG. 33, detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

In step S3701, the correction control unit 2712 identifies a display target for which position information has not been detected, for example, by using the position information 722 managed by the position information management unit 713.

In step S3702, the correction control unit 2712 branches the process depending on whether or not there is a display target for which position information is not detected.

If there is no display target for which the position information has not been detected, the correction control unit 2712 ends the correction process of the position information. On the other hand, when there is a display target for which the position information is not detected, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3703.

When the process proceeds to step S3703, the correction control unit 2712 acquires the history of the position information of the display target for which the position information has not been detected.

In step S3704, the correction control unit 2712 identifies the attribute of the display target by using, for example, the management information 2721 as shown in FIG. 28, and the correction period corresponding to the attribute of the display target and the last detected area. To get.

For example, in FIG. 30B, when the attribute to be displayed is "patient", the correction period of the "default area" is 1 hour, the correction period of the "normal area" is 30 minutes, and the correction period of the "staircase area". The correction period is 3 minutes, and the correction period for the "EV area" is 2 minutes.

Further, in FIG. 30B, when the attribute to be displayed is "nurse", the correction period of the "default area" is 30 minutes, the correction period of the "normal area" is 10 minutes, and the "staircase area". The correction period for "EV area" is 3 minutes, and the correction period for "EV area" is 1 minute.

In step S3705, the correction control unit 2712 determines whether the current date and time is within the correction period acquired in step S3704 from the date and time when the display target was last detected.

If it is not within the acquired correction period, the correction control unit 2712 ends the process. On the other hand, if it is within the acquired correction period, the correction control unit 2712 shifts the process to step S3706.

When the process proceeds to step S3706, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of the display target to the last detected detection area. For example, the correction control unit 2712 corrects the position information of the display target so that the display target is detected in the detection area where the display target is last detected.

FIG. 38 is a diagram showing another example of the history of position information according to the sixth embodiment. In the position information of the nurse A shown in FIG. 38 (a), the last detected detection area is the external connection area as described above, but as shown in FIG. 38 (b) by the above processing. In addition, the position information of nurse A is corrected.

As described above, the correction control unit 2712, for example, corrects the position information of the nurse A in the external connection area whose position information could not be corrected by the correction process shown in FIG. 33 for a predetermined correction period (1 minute) or another. It will be possible to correct until the position information is detected on the floor.

<Example of display screen>
FIG. 39 is a diagram showing another example of the corrected display screen according to the sixth embodiment. In this figure, on the display screen 200 of the display device shown in FIG. 31, the wireless tag ID of the wireless tag 103 worn by the nurse A and the patient 11 cannot be detected, and the correction according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 37. An example of the display screen 200 when the process is executed is shown.

As shown in FIG. 39, when the correction process shown in FIG. 37 is performed, if the patient 11 is in the hospital room 301, even if the wireless tag ID cannot be acquired, a predetermined period (for example, of the patient) is performed. The bed icon 3501 indicating the occupancy is displayed for the correction period of the default area). Further, the medical personnel icon 3901 of the nurse A in the external connection area is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 1 minute) or until the position information of the nurse A is detected again.

(Modification example)
The display screen 200 shown in FIGS. 36 and 39 is an example of a display screen to which the correction process according to the sixth embodiment is applied. The correction process according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above display control method, and can be applied to various display control methods.

For example, in the display screen 200 shown in FIG. 39, the display control unit 715 of the information processing apparatus 110 displays the information of the display target corrected by the correction control unit 2712 in the same display method as other uncorrected display targets. It was displayed.

As a modification, the display control unit 715 of the information processing apparatus 110 may display the information of the display target corrected by the correction control unit 2712 so that it can be determined that the information is the corrected information.

FIG. 40 is a diagram showing an example of a corrected display screen according to a modified example of the sixth embodiment. In the display screen 200 shown in FIG. 40, the bed icon 3501 of the patient 11 whose position information has been corrected by the correction control unit 2712 and the medical personnel icon 3901 of the nurse A indicate that the information is corrected. Element 4001 (for example, "*") is added.

As a result, for example, the nurse B at the nurse station has a relatively low accuracy because the information of the patient 11 and the nurse A is estimated, and the accuracy of the information of other display targets is relatively high. Will be able to judge.

Preferably, the display control unit 715 of the information processing apparatus 110 displays the information of the display target so that when the position information of the display target that is not detected is detected again, it can be determined that it has been rediscovered.

For example, when the position information of the patient 11 is rediscovered on the display screen shown in FIG. 40, the display control unit 715 highlights the bed icon 3501 of the patient 11 (for example, blinking, changing the size, changing the color). Etc.). Alternatively, the display control unit 715 may indicate that the display target has been rediscovered by erasing the display element 4001 indicating that the information is corrected.

The system configuration of the information processing system 100 shown in each of the above embodiments is an example, and the information processing system 100 can have various system configurations. For example, each information stored in the storage unit 717 of the information processing device 110 may be stored in an external server provided outside the information processing device 110, an external storage device, or the like. Further, each functional configuration of the information processing device 110 may be realized by a plurality of information processing devices.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, for example, even when the wireless tag ID (identification information) transmitted by the wireless tag (wireless terminal) 103 is not detected due to the radio wave condition or the like, more appropriate information regarding the display target is displayed. It becomes possible to display it on the device 111 or the like.

That is, according to the present embodiment, in a facility such as a hospital 101, an information processing device 110 for displaying more appropriate information regarding a display target of a patient or the like detected in a predetermined area on a display device 111 or the like is provided. Will be able to.
