The present invention relates to an automated food collection system and method thereof.

In general, the conventional food collection method is accomplished by passing the overall process from collection to partial management to the food collection worker.

As a result, when a worker is newly hired and replaced, the food container is not properly known, or the food is left uncollected due to the intention or negligence of an existing worker. By collecting the food containers that were not collected arbitrarily, they caused problems such as work deception that manipulated the journal.

In addition, for convenience, if the food container is moved out of its original location by the nearby residents, the food collector knows that the food container must be located at that location and should be collected, but if the food container is not in place, Loss or misincorporation with other areas resulted in increased food waste neglect.

In addition, such a conventional method is poor in terms of the efficiency of the efficient food container management system, there is a problem that does not recognize the food container that is not left without being collected for several days unless the daily log is identified.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to fundamentally solve the neglect of the uncollected food waste container due to the intention or negligence of the worker, the work efficiency of the worker and manager It is to provide an automatic food collection system and method using a wireless device to improve the system.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the host classifies the data extracted from the tag reader, divided into a local name database of the food container, a worker database collecting the food container, and a collection time database in which the time collected by the worker is recorded. It is preferable to configure and store the sorted and stored, and output a warning signal when the uncollected food waste container is checked.

In addition, in the present invention, the satellite receiver outputs the location information of the food container to be collected when the operator inputs jurisdiction information, and when it reaches the food container to be collected for the first time, it is updated with the location information of the next food container and sequentially It is preferable to comprise by displaying.

On the other hand, an object of the present invention, the operator manually enters jurisdiction information into the satellite receiver; Displaying the location of the food container to be first collected in the satellite receiver, and when the first food container is reached, the satellite receiver is updated with the location information of the next food container and sequentially displayed; Reading and storing tag information of the food waste container with a tag reader when the food waste container arrives at the first collection; And transmitting the information of the tag reader to a host and making the stored data into a database.

Other objects, specific advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description and the preferred embodiments described in connection with the accompanying drawings.

First, the definitions of terms used in the present invention are as follows. "Operator" means a person who drives the collection vehicle 200 and collects the food loaded in the food container. "Manager" refers to a person who manages the database 50 and instructs a worker to collect food. "Computer" means a personal computer connected to the network and capable of the Internet.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing a preferred embodiment will be described in detail the automatic food collection system and method using a wireless device according to the present invention.

1 is a view schematically showing an automatic food collection system using a wireless device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes a food container 40 with a tag 10 attached thereto, a collection vehicle 200 in which a satellite receiver 30 and a tag reader 20 are installed, and the tag reader 20. ) And the host 300 to be electrically connected to the signal.

The tag 10 is attached to the food container 40, and unique data of the food container 40 is recorded therein. An example of the unique data is the name of the area where the food container 40 is located and the food load capacity.

In addition, the tag 10 may be attached to any position of the food container 40.

The tag reader 20 includes a memory therein and reads data recorded in the tag 10 through wireless communication (for example, RFID) with the tag 10. The reading method may be either active or passive, and the read data is stored in the memory.

The satellite receiver 30 transmits and receives numerous signals with several satellites 100 in one second and displays the location of the collection vehicle 200 on a map program stored in advance in the satellite receiver 30. An example of such a satellite receiver 30 is a GPS receiver.

The program stores a large number of location information of the food waste container (40).

In addition, the display to facilitate the location of the food container 40, and reaches the position of the food container 40 of any one of the many food container 40, the location of the food container 40 to be collected next display It is a configuration.

The host 300 is a main computer connected to a network. The host 300 is electrically connected to the memory of the tag reader 20 in order to read data stored in the memory of the tag reader 20, and reads from the memory. It is a configuration to database data values.

Hereinafter, an operation method of the automatic food waste collection system using the wireless device configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2a is a view showing a screen of the satellite receiver attached to the collecting vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2b is a view showing a screen of the satellite receiver attached to the collecting vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention FIG. 3 is a detailed configuration diagram of a database configured in a host according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a part of a function of the host according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Therefore, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the operation method of the present invention will be described.

First, the worker manually inputs the area name of the competent jurisdiction in the satellite receiver 30 capable of transmitting and receiving several satellites (S100).

The location information of the food waste container 40 is displayed on the basis of the input area and the optimal location of the food waste container 40 to be first collected by a pre-stored program along with the guide broadcast.

Next, the worker moves to the position of the food container 40 to be collected first according to the guidance of the satellite receiver 30 and then starts the food collection.

When the worker collects food of the food container 40 to be collected for the first time, the tag 10 attached to the food container 40 communicates wirelessly with the tag reader 30 attached to the collection vehicle 200 operated by the worker. At this time, the unique data recorded in the tag 10 is read by the tag reader 30 and stored (S300).

The tag 10 and the tag reader 30 are RFID systems in close proximity and have a maximum response distance of about 9M.

Therefore, the worker may start the food collection day freely without having to intentionally approach the tag reader 30 on the tag 10 attached to the food container 40 in consideration of the tag reader 30.

However, if the response distance is 9M, the worker only recognizes the tag reader 20 of the collection vehicle 200 and the tag 10 of the food waste container 40, and the tag 10 to prevent it from being passed without being collected. It is preferable to use that with low sensitivity of the tag reader 20.

Meanwhile, when the food container 40a to be collected first is reached, the satellite receiver 30 updates the display, which indicates the position of the food container 40b to be collected next (S200).

Therefore, when the above operation is repeated and the last food waste container 40 is collected, the worker returns to the workplace.

The worker takes over the memory provided in the tag reader 30 installed in the collection vehicle 200 to the manager, and the manager connects the memory to the host 300.

In addition, the administrator reads and stores the information about the plurality of food waste containers 40 stored in the memory using the host 300, and makes a database 50 (S400).

The database 50 includes a local name database 51, a worker database 52 for collecting the food waste container 40, and a collection time database 53 for recording the time collected by the worker. When the uncollected food waste container 40 is checked on the basis of the database 50, the warning display 400 is displayed to identify whether the container is lost and other causes of the uncollected tag 10 and the tag reader 20. It consists of a double check structure.

The warning display 400 checks not only the uncollected food waste container 40 but also information on the food waste container 40 not collected in time.

Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above, the newly hired and replaced worker also knows only the name of the jurisdiction (eg Jongno-gu) and indicates the location to be automatically collected when it is input to the satellite receiver. The collection of food containers indicates the food containers to be collected next, so it is easy to identify the business.

In addition, by utilizing the tag attached to the food container and the tag reader to check it, it is possible to fundamentally block the occurrence of the US collection container, and obtain the so-called automatic collection log writing effect of recording the collection log even by the food collection action itself. In addition, the database can be used to facilitate the management of the management of the workers and to collect the collection containers that do not meet the proper amount of food over time without the need to collect over time, thereby reducing the cost.

Although the invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments mentioned above, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various other modifications and variations are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is obvious that all changes and modifications belong to the scope of the appended claims.
