Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a magnetic card or IC.
The present invention relates to a case, a trunk, a bag, baggage, and the like provided with a card or an optical card, and an identification management method and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for identifying cases, bags, trunks, baggage, etc., and managing goods or selling, or sorting and managing at predetermined places at airports, etc., name tags or sticky notes have been attached or pasted.
A method of manually recognizing and managing is adopted.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, manpower is required, time and cost are required, and mechanization and unmanned operation for 24 hours cannot be performed. Moreover, there is a problem that data management is difficult. In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a case, a trunk, a bag, baggage, or the like that can be mechanically identified and managed, and an identification management method and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a case, a trunk, a bag, baggage or the like of the present invention is integrally provided with a magnetic card, an IC card or an optical card.

[0005]

With the above-described structure, the present invention enables mechanical / quantitative merchandise management, sales management, or sorting management by only slightly changing the external shape of the conventional case, trunk, bag, baggage, or the like. as a result,
Statistical and systematic management is possible and effective use as management information is possible. Further, not only the efficiency of identification management is dramatically improved, but also quick response is possible to prevent erroneous determination.

EXAMPLE A non-contact type I according to an example of the present invention will be described below.
An example of a suitcase including a C card will be described with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a front view of a suitcase according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view seen from the S1 direction, and FIG. 3 is a front view of a non-contact type IC card used for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. The suitcase 10 of the present invention has a hexahedral rectangular outer shape,
While connecting the two rectangular concave halves 1 and 2 with the hinge 3,
The stopper 4 is used for locking. Further, the suitcase 10 has the handles 4 arranged on two side surfaces, and
A non-contact type IC card 6 is arranged in a predetermined manner in a part of the recess of each of the halves 1 and 2. The IC card 6 is housed in a small rectangular hole of a stepped rectangular through hole provided in each half body, and is sandwiched and fixed by a transparent plate 7 and a cover plate 8 from both sides. That is, by disposing the IC card on the surface layer of the suitcase through the transparent plate 7 so that the IC card can be seen (recognized),
Data can be exchanged from the outside with a non-contact wireless card reader / writer (not shown). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the IC cards 6 are arranged on the surface layers of the two main planes of the suitcase 10, respectively. The card reader / writer (not shown) is considered to be operable. However, if the IC card is provided only on one half, it does not matter. Of course, the IC card 6 can be replaced by removing the cover plate 8 arranged inside the half body. In addition, it goes without saying that the suitcase 10 is not easily damaged even if an external force is applied to it or cannot be taken out from the outside of the suitcase.

Instead of holding the IC card 6 between the transparent plate 7 and the cover plate 8, the IC card 6 may be embedded in the half body 1 or 2 in a predetermined manner. That is, when the half body is made of a resin member, the IC card may be integrally molded with the half body (integrated molding). In this case, the IC card cannot be taken out without destroying the half body.
In order to integrally mold the IC card, injection molding, press molding or the like may be used.

There are usually two types of IC cards, namely, a CPU card having a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory built therein, and an IC memory card having no CPU but only a memory. Further, although it can be classified into a non-contact type and a plurality of other types, the non-contact type is used in the embodiment of the present invention. As an example of a non-contact type IC card, a CPU for processing data, a memory circuit for storing a program for operating the CPU in advance, and an antenna for non-contact transmission / reception of data to / from the outside. A non-contact type IC card provided with a reception circuit for detecting a reception signal received by this antenna and a transmission circuit for transmitting a transmission signal from the CPU from the antenna is used.

The input / output information of the IC card 6 includes color and
Product management information such as size, shape, lot number, product number, manufacturing date, cost, etc., and arbitrary information such as suitcase owner's first and last name, address, medical chart, travel destination, transfer point, flight flight, etc. Then, it may be carried out according to the management purpose.

Next, an identification management method using the suitcase having the above configuration will be described. First, an IC card in which the necessary management data has been input is stored in the suitcase at the predetermined location. Or, in each process of producing a suitcase, at the time of preparing to sell a suitcase at a store, or at the time of accepting boarded baggage at the airport counter or preparing for baggage sorting, the target management data for the IC card placed in the suitcase is stored. input.
Next, by reading the necessary necessary data from the IC card at each production process of the suitcase, at the point of sale at the store, or at the time of sorting, the read data is compiled and managed, or the suitcase is stored in a predetermined flight. In the above embodiment, data input / output may be performed using a non-contact type card reader / writer (not shown) or any other method.

As described above, the suitcase of the present invention is provided with the IC card so that the suitcase can be mechanically identified and managed, and the management data can be effectively utilized for various purposes. In the suitcase of the embodiment of the present invention, the example of the non-contact type IC card has been described as the card to be arranged, but the card is not limited to a separate IC card, and a magnetic card or an optical card may be used. You can get the effect. Similarly, the suitcase sorting place is also effective when applied to hotels, transport facilities, department stores, etc. in addition to airports. In addition to the travel suitcase or the trunk, an attache case, various bags or bags, baggage, etc. may be placed as the objects to be provided with the IC card.

Further, the case or bag may be made of any material, and in addition to the resin material, a kneading material of gluten made of natural protein and a solvent may be compression-molded or injection-molded. Gluten, a natural protein, is easily decomposed by microorganisms in water and soil, so it is convenient to dispose of after use, and there is no concern about environmental pollution due to disposal.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the case, bag, trunk, baggage, etc. and the management method for identifying the same according to the present invention not only provide useful information in product management or sales management and contribute to management, but also the case or bag. Also, many effects can be obtained such as automating sorting management of baggage and the like, dramatically improving efficiency, enabling quick response, and preventing erroneous determination.
