Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve all manual works of separation every merchandise, reading, recognition and data processing by sticking a non-contact IC tag to merchandise to simultaneously perform the management, retrieval, and recognition of a number of merchandise and the data processing in non-contact. SOLUTION: Merchandise having a non-contact IC tag stuck thereto is placed on the merchandise receiving base 4 of a management rack. A non-contact IC tag reader 5 momentarily reads and recognizes the data of the non-contact IC tag, confirms and stores the storage content, storage place and storage time, and performs a data processing. When merchandise is taken out from the management rack, the non-contact IC tag reader 5 momentarily confirms the storage state of the merchandise receiving base 4 of the management rack again, recognizes and stores it, and performs a data processing. In the retrieval of merchandise, the retrieving work is started in a pickup unit by inputting the ID number of the non-contact IC tag, and a pickup mechanism pushes out the merchandise.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to books such as manga books, books and paperback books, and AVs such as MDs, CDs and videos.
The present invention relates to a management system apparatus using a non-contact IC tag method for storage, search, and data processing of related products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in data processing such as storage, sales, and inventory of books and CDs, as shown in FIG. 1, a bar code "printed or pasted" directly on a product or on a cover or case, etc. Is read in advance by a POS terminal for each product, and stored and displayed in a dedicated rack. A purchaser or borrower takes a desired product from a rack to a reception counter, and an employee reads a barcode for each product at a POS terminal, and performs data processing such as sales and sales. Also, regarding inventory,
After the store is closed or on a closed day, products are read one by one at the POS terminal and data processing is performed.

[0003] Therefore, enormous amounts of time and money have been spent in merchandise management, search and data processing.

[0004]

As described above, the conventional "P
Due to the optical nature of the bar code reading management system by the OS terminal, it is not possible to recognize and process data for several products at the same time, so it is necessary to separate products one by one, which necessitates manual work. Therefore, the management process is enormously large at present. In addition, theft has been costly because of theft.

The present invention eliminates all of these inefficient operations, that is, the operations of separating, reading, recognizing, and processing data one by one, and also has anti-theft measures, so that "management / retrieval" can be performed efficiently. -To provide a system device that performs "data processing".

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been researched and developed in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. It is intended to attach a non-contact type IC tag to a product and manage a large number of products in a non-contact manner.
It has a system structure that performs search, recognition and data processing at the same time.

[0007] Thus, the separation of each product by hand,
This eliminates the need for recognition work, and can be expected to be effective in preventing product loss, double counting, and theft. Thereby, the accuracy of "management / search / data processing" is remarkably improved. In addition, the direct management of the actual product reduces the need for employees to directly touch the product, avoids the risk of falling or breakage, and has the advantage of being non-contact and resistant to dirt and having good maintainability. .

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows a mechanism diagram of a "book management system" according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. Is shown. FIG. 4 shows the configuration diagram of FIG. FIG. 5 shows the internal structure, and FIG. 6 shows details of the system.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the embodiment shown in the figure, a management system device (1) comprises a management rack body (2) and a system controller (3). The management rack body (2) has a rectangular box shape, and incorporates a product cradle (4), a non-contact IC tag reader (5), a pickup unit (6), a drive mechanism (7), and the like, and has a front face of the management rack. An anti-theft shutter (not shown) is attached to the panel (not shown), and a cylinder lock (1
Locked securely in 5).

The goods receiving stand (4) is provided with partitions, and a light-emitting diode (LED) (10) is provided at the center of each partition.
Is installed, and the location of the corresponding managed product is instantly notified by light. The pickup unit (6) includes a commodity detection sensor (11) and a pickup mechanism (12). Then, the pickup unit (6) is attached to the upper part of the drive mechanism (7), and moves the rear part of the product receiving table (4).

Next, the procedure of "management / search / data processing of books" according to this embodiment will be described. First, a product (books such as a book, a paperback book, a manga book, etc.) to which a non-contact IC tag is attached is placed on a product cradle (4) of a management rack. At this time, the placement position of the product is free.

In this way, the non-contact IC tag reader (5) instantaneously reads and recognizes the data of the non-contact IC tag, confirms and stores the contents of the storage, the storage location and the storage time, and processes the data. I do. Next, when the merchandise is taken out of the management rack, the non-contact IC tag reader (5) instantly confirms, recognizes (quantity, place, time) the storage status of the merchandise cradle (4) of the management rack and stores it. And perform data processing. When searching for products,
When the ID number of the non-contact IC tag or the content of the product is input from a numeric keypad or the like, a search operation is started in the pickup unit (6). When a search product is found, the pickup mechanism (12) is driven to push out the product.

At this time, a corresponding portion of the light emitting diode (LED) (10) installed on the product receiving stand (4) is turned on to notify the position of the searched product by light.

If the non-contact IC tag of the managed product is peeled off (if it is not present), the quantity, place and time of the product recognized by the non-contact IC tag reader (5)
The abnormality message is displayed on the liquid crystal display (LC) by comparing the quantity and location of the products placed on the management rack body (2) confirmed by the search pickup unit (6).
D) (13), the display lamp (14) attached to the upper part of the management rack main body (2) is turned on to pick up the product and notify the abnormality.

All of these histories and the like are centrally managed by the system controller (3), and various data processings (inventory status by genre, status of loading into and out of racks, etc.) are performed for each store.

These various data for each store are converted into ISD
Provides centralized and centralized management using N lines and provides various advice and guidance for each region and each store. (Returned goods, received goods,
Product ranking, new product status, etc.)

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the "management / search / data processing" of goods is easy, there is no need to always place the goods at the same position, and the efficiency of various data processing operations is remarkably improved. In addition, it is maintenance-free and has the effect of increasing the commercial value.
