Description

Laundry management method and server using RFID {METHOD AND SERVER FOR LAUNDRY MANAGEMENT USING RFID}

The present invention relates to a laundry management method and apparatus using RFID, and more particularly, to a method and a server for managing a laundry process by attaching an RFID tag to laundry, and selecting an appropriate laundry service through a laundry management model.

Washing to remove dirt and dirt from clothing to restore it to its original condition 　In general, washing is divided into two types: water washing, which removes pollutants using water and detergent, and dry cleaning, which removes pollutants using organic solvents. . Washing with water mainly uses water, so it can be easily done at home, but dry cleaning requires special equipment and technology, so it is professionally performed at the address and laundry, and clothing that may be damaged by water and detergent or the shape of the material may change. Is effective for Currently, laundry such as dry cleaning, as well as washing with water and repairing clothes, are being performed in laundry, and such laundry is becoming widespread, and at the same time, braille is being enlarged, specialized, and machined.

However, in order to provide laundry service, even if the customer visits the laundry and checks the laundry schedule, or the owner visits the customer's house and collects the laundry, the contamination status of the laundry and the services to be provided are classified and classified by the owner. Because it must be done, a systematic management system for laundry is insufficient. In order to manage a large amount of laundry, there is insufficient research to automatically classify the dirty state of laundry or the service to be provided, and to automate the procedure for providing laundry service using RFID tags.

RFID (radio frequency identification), also referred to as wireless recognition, is a recognition system that reads stored data such as tags, labels, and cards with semiconductor chips in a contactless manner using a radio frequency. The RFID tag can be divided into an active type that requires power (active type) and a passive type that is operated by the electromagnetic field of the reader. The 　RFID-related 　RFID 　 system as described above consists of tags, antennas, and readers, and the tags and antennas send information wirelessly from several meters to tens of meters, and the reader receives this signal, decodes product information, and sends it to the computer. . The computer receives and processes the information transmitted from the reader, thereby grasping the status of the product. Therefore, all tagged products can be automatically checked or tracked anytime, anywhere, and the tag has a built-in memory to update and modify information. When a laundry service is provided by utilizing the RFID system, laundry can be managed more systematically.

The laundry management method using RFID may be implemented in the server 100 or the user terminal 200. In the laundry management method using RFID, laundry information collection and image capture may be performed through one or more user terminals 200. Analysis of the collected laundry information may be performed in the server 100. Each of the plurality of users may perform a laundry management method using RFID through their user terminal 200.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a laundry management server using RFID according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the laundry management server 100 using RFID may include a communication module 110, a memory 120, a processor 130, a database 140, and an input module 150.

The communication module 110 communicates data with the connected user terminal 210 and the linked server 100, respectively. The communication module 110 may be a device including hardware and software necessary to transmit and receive signals such as control signals or data signals through wired/wireless connection with other network devices.

In the memory 120, a laundry management program using RFID is stored. The laundry management program using RFID matches laundry information received from a user terminal with laundry with an RFID tag, photographs a status image of laundry with an RFID tag, and inputs laundry information and status image as a laundry management model. By classifying the contamination state, selecting a preset laundry management procedure, providing a laundry service according to the selected laundry management procedure, and taking an image as a result of providing the laundry service, and updating the laundry management model.

The processor 130 matches the laundry information received from the user terminal with the laundry to which the RFID tag is attached (S110).

The RFID tag may be provided as shown in FIG. 4. By laser engraving the identification number on the RFID tag, the identification number can be recognized without recognizing it through a reader. When a user provides laundry, an RFID tag can be assigned to each provided laundry to match data. At this time, information such as a manufacturer of laundry, type, characteristic, material, dimension, or color of the laundry may be provided through the user terminal, and the information may be matched with an assigned RFID tag and then stored in a database.

It may further include the step of recognizing the RFID tag and confirming it through the display in order to check whether the matching is successful. The task can be performed in a separate device including a table, a display, and an RFID recognition module for sorting laundry.

The processor 130 captures a state image of the laundry to which the RFID tag is attached (S120). The camera module for photographing the state image of the laundry may be a camera module included in a user terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet PC, or a laptop computer, or may be a separate camera module provided for photographing laundry in a laundry management system using RFID.

The processor 130 classifies the dirty state through the laundry management model by inputting the laundry information and the state image, and selects a preset laundry management procedure (S130). While collecting laundry information, it is also possible to classify and input into a preset pollution state, and it is also possible to classify the pollution state through an image captured by the camera module.

The laundry management model may be to classify the dirty state of laundry by learning the laundry information and the state image as inputs using a machine learning model. In this case, an artificial neural network specialized for image processing such as a CNN (convolutional neural network) may be used as the machine learning model.

The processor 130 provides a laundry service according to the selected laundry management procedure, photographs an image as a result of providing the laundry service, and updates the laundry management model (S140).

The processor 130 may generate laundry management result data including the laundry management procedure and the result image, and provide the laundry management result data to the user terminal through a visualized user interface.
