2 is a diagram for explaining a concept of scanning laundry using an RFID tag according to an embodiment.

An RFID reader 20 may be installed at delivery companies, laundry factories, affiliated stores, etc. to identify RFID tags 10 individually attached to each laundry.

For example, the RFID reader 20 is installed in a shipping company or is provided in the form of a mobile terminal, and periodically whenever a shipping company collects laundry to be washed from an affiliated store or delivers washed laundry from a laundry factory to an affiliated store. The RFID tag 10 can be scanned.

In addition, an RFID reader 20 is also installed in a laundry factory so that the RFID tag 10 can be scanned periodically whenever laundry is stored or a washing process is performed.

In addition, an RFID reader 20 is also provided at the affiliated store to scan the RFID tag 10 attached to the laundry to be washed to specify the laundry to be washed, or to manage the laundry inside the affiliated store.

Specifically, when a carrier 30 containing a plurality of laundry items to which the RFID tags 10 are attached passes through the scanning area of the RFID reader 20, the RFID reader 20 detects the RFID tags attached to each laundry. Based on the RFID signal transmitted from (10), a unique identification code assigned to each laundry may be obtained, and information corresponding to each laundry may be obtained using the obtained unique identification code.

For example, the RFID reader 20 may obtain the quantity of laundry contained in the carrier 30 by counting the number of unique identification symbols obtained. Also, the RFID reader 20 may receive and store a laundry information table managed by the laundry platform server 100 from the laundry platform server 100 .

The laundry information table may include a unique identification symbol assigned to each laundry and corresponding clothing type, size, color, material, owner, producer, production date, first washing date, last washing date, number of washings, and the like. . In the laundry information table, the type, size, color, material, manufacturer, and production date corresponding to the unique identification symbol may be initially input from the manager and generated. It can be input by scanning the RFID tag 10 of the laundry, and the first washing day, the last washing day, and the number of washings can be input through the same scanning procedure when warehousing at a laundry factory or while a washing process is in progress.

Therefore, the RFID reader 20 refers to the laundry information table to obtain laundry information including unique identification symbols, quantity, type, size, color, etc. of the laundry contained in the carrier 30, and the obtained laundry information. At least a part of may be displayed to the user through the reader display unit 21.

The reader display unit 21 is implemented as a variety of display devices and configured integrally with the RFID reader 20, or separated from the RFID reader 20 and configured as a separate device to communicate with the RFID reader 20 by wire or wirelessly. It could be.

Meanwhile, in the drawing, the RFID reader 20 is shown to have a gate shape, but this is an example and may be configured in various shapes including a small mobile terminal shape.

3 is a diagram showing the structure of an RFID tag attached to laundry according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the RFID tag 10 includes a first protective layer 11, a pattern layer 12 disposed below the first protective layer 11, and an adhesive layer disposed below the pattern layer 12. (13), and a tag base layer 14 disposed under the adhesive layer 13.

The first protective layer 11 may protect the pattern layer 12 by preventing the pattern layer 12 from being directly damaged by external contact or pressure. The first protective layer 11 may be made of silicon composed of one or more layers. Accordingly, the first protective layer 11 can safely protect the pattern layer 12 from external pressure or shock caused by a washing process, or from high temperatures generated during drying or ironing due to flexibility and elasticity of the silicone material.

The pattern layer 12 may include an IC chip 12a and a first antenna pattern 12b electrically connected to the IC chip 12b. The IC chip 12a is a kind of semiconductor and can store various information to be provided to the RFID reader 20. For example, the IC chip 12a may store a unique identification code uniquely assigned to each laundry.

In the pattern layer 12, the IC chip 12a and the first antenna pattern 12b may be formed on a pattern base plate 12c constituting a base, and the pattern base plate 12c is formed on the IC chip 12a and the pattern base plate 12c. It may be a flexible printed circuit board that is easy to form the first antenna pattern 12b.

The first antenna pattern 12b is inductively coupled to the second antenna pattern 12a of the tag base layer 14, and the output signal output through the IC chip 12a is induced to the second antenna pattern 12a. can be conveyed To this end, the first antenna pattern 12b and the second antenna pattern 12a may be impedance matched to each other.

The first antenna pattern 12b is composed of a conductor capable of performing an antenna function, and may be a two-dimensional flat pattern conductor having various shapes, including a simple straight line shape, an L-shape, a U-shape, an O-shape, etc. . For example, the first antenna pattern 12b may be made of a conductive metal such as copper (Cu) or gold (Au). As another example, the first antenna pattern 12b may be formed by plating copper (Cu) with gold (Au).

The adhesive layer 13 may be formed of an insulator capable of bonding the pattern layer 12 and the tag base layer 14 to each other and electrically insulating the pattern layer 12 and the tag base layer 14 from each other. For example, the adhesive layer 13 is such that the first antenna pattern 12b and the second antenna pattern 12a are not directly electrically connected to each other by the adhesive layer 13 and indirectly transmit a signal by an induced current. can give and take

The tag base layer 14 may include a tag base plate 14c and a second antenna pattern 14a formed on the tag base plate 14c. Like the first antenna pattern 12b, the second antenna pattern 14a is composed of a conductor capable of performing an antenna function, and has a simple straight line shape to an 'L' shape, a 'c' shape, or an O shape. It may be a two-dimensional planar patterned conductor having various forms, including For example, the second antenna pattern 14a may be made of a conductive metal such as copper (Cu) or gold (Au). As another example, the second antenna pattern 14a may be formed by plating copper (Cu) with gold (Au). In this case, the first antenna pattern 12b and the second antenna pattern 14a may be arranged so as not to overlap each other. To this end, the shape of the first antenna pattern 12b and the shape of the second antenna pattern 14a may have a shape that is easy to face each other.

For example, if the first antenna pattern 12b is configured in an 'O' shape as shown in the drawing, the second antenna pattern 12a is a 'c' shape surrounding at least one side surface of the first antenna pattern 12b. It may have a shape or a 'C' shape.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the tag base plate 14c may be made of a fabric (fabric) material that is easy to wash, a soft synthetic resin, or leather. Accordingly, the tag base plate 14c may have durability and flexibility sufficient to withstand repeated washing processes.

In addition, if the tag base plate 14c is made of fabric, the tag base plate 14c can be attached to the laundry by sewing (sewing) using a thread common to the laundry, so that even if the laundry undergoes repeated washing processes, The RFID tag 10 does not easily separate from the laundry.

Meanwhile, when the tag base plate 14c is made of fabric or the like, it is not easy to attach the second antenna pattern 12a to the tag base plate 14c. To solve this problem, the second antenna pattern 12a may be coupled to the tag base plate 14c through a conductive wire 14b.

Specifically, the second antenna pattern 12a may be coupled to the tag base plate 14c by being sewn to the tag base plate 14c using the conducting wire 14b. That is, the second antenna pattern 12a can be coupled to the tag base plate 14c by using the conducting wire 14b like a thread, so that the second antenna pattern 12a is attached to the tag base plate 14c even if repeated washing processes are performed. do not deviate from

Here, the conductive wire 14b may be a metal that is conductive and flexible enough to be used like a thread. For example, the conductive wire 14b may be made of a metallic wire such as copper (Cu) or nickel (Ni).

Meanwhile, the RFID tag 10 may further include a second protective layer 15 disposed under the tag base layer 14 . The second protective layer 15 may be made of the same material as the first protective layer 11, and the tag base layer 14 can be protected from external pressure or temperature of the tag base layer 14 from the lower part of the tag base layer 14. ) can play a protective role.

However, the second protective layer 15 can be selectively applied to further strengthen the durability of the RFID tag 10, and since the tag base layer 14 itself can be guaranteed to have sufficient durability as a fabric, etc. A second protective layer 15 does not have to be applied.

Figure 4 is a view showing the structure of the conducting wire according to Figure 3;

Referring to FIG. 4 , the conductive wire 14b may include a central fiber 14b-1 constituting an inner concentric axis and a soft conductive metal 14b-2 surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the central fiber 14b-1.

The central fiber 14b-1 may be a synthetic fiber composed of one or a combination thereof selected from the group including polyester, acrylic, and polyamide. The conductive metal 14b-2 may be copper (Cu) or nickel (Ni).

In addition, the conductive wire 14b may further include an external fiber 14b-3 wound around an outer circumferential surface of the conductive metal 14b-2 so as to have strong durability such as breakage due to a bar.

The outer fiber 14b-3 is wound around the conductive metal 14b-2 while spirally passing through the outer circumferential surface of the conductive metal 14b-2, thereby enhancing durability of the conductive wire 14b.

The outer fiber 14b-3 may be a synthetic fiber composed of one or a combination thereof selected from the group including polyester, acrylic, and polyamide.

As such, the wire 14b has sufficient durability and is composed of a central fiber 14b-1 on the central axis so that it can be used flexibly for a bar, and is composed of a conductive metal 14b-2 on the outside, so that the second antenna The inductive coupling between the pattern 14b and the first antenna pattern 12b is not disturbed.

Fig. 5 is a block diagram of the laundry platform server according to Fig. 1;

Referring to FIG. 5 , the laundry platform server 100 may include a laundry management unit 110 , a delivery management unit 120 , an affiliated store management unit 130 , and a purchase management unit 140 .

The laundry management unit 110 may create and manage a laundry information table, which is a data table in which laundry information is matched with a unique identification symbol assigned to each laundry. For example, the laundry information includes a unique identification symbol assigned to each laundry and the corresponding clothing type, size, color, material, owner, producer, production date, first washing date, last washing date, and number of washings. can do.

The laundry management unit 110 interworks with the delivery management unit 120 to obtain laundry collection information and laundry delivery information provided from the delivery terminal 400, and creates a laundry information table using the obtained laundry collection information and laundry delivery information. can be updated.

For example, the laundry management unit 110 adds a unique identification symbol and corresponding laundry collection status, collection time, collection location, collection person in charge, etc. to the laundry information table, and adds laundry delivery status, delivery time, delivery location, and delivery person in charge. etc. can be added.

In addition, the laundry management unit 110 obtains laundry warehousing information and laundry state information provided from the laundry factory management server 200 by communicating with the laundry factory management server 200 using a wireless network, and obtains the laundry warehousing information and laundry The laundry information table may be updated using state information.

For example, the laundry management unit 110 adds a unique identification symbol and corresponding whether or not the laundry is stored, when, when, where the laundry is stored (or the factory where the laundry is stored), and the person in charge of the laundry, etc. , the last washing date, etc. may be updated, and the type and contents of the washing process currently applied to the laundry may be added.

Also, the laundry management unit 110 may generate a unique identification symbol to be assigned to new laundry in the laundry information table or select laundry to be discarded from among laundry registered in the laundry information table.

For example, the laundry management unit 110 may select the corresponding laundry as laundry to be discarded when the number of times of washing exceeds a threshold value determined differently depending on the material or type of laundry. The laundry management unit 110 may add a mark indicating laundry to be discarded to the laundry information table. Accordingly, when laundry selected as laundry to be discarded is scanned by the RFID reader 20 in a delivery process of a laundry factory or a delivery company or an affiliate store, whether or not laundry to be discarded displayed in the laundry information table may be displayed to the user.

As another example, the laundry management unit 110 may select laundry to be discarded based on at least one of the number of times of washing, a production date, a first washing day, and a final washing day. The laundry management unit 110 determines that the number of times of washing exceeds a threshold value determined differently depending on the material or type of laundry, the period between the production date and the first laundry day and the current date exceeds the first threshold period, and the final When the period between the laundry day and the current day exceeds the second critical period, the corresponding laundry may be selected as laundry to be discarded.

The delivery management unit 120 transmits a collection request or a delivery request to the delivery terminal 400 by communicating with the delivery terminal 400 using a wireless network, and receives laundry collection information and laundry delivery information from the delivery terminal 400. can do.

In addition, the delivery management unit 120 may perform user authentication on the delivery terminal 400 and provide the information recorded in the laundry information table managed by the laundry management unit 110 to the delivery terminal 400 for which user authentication has been completed. there is.

The affiliated store management unit 130 may receive a laundry request by communicating with the affiliated store terminal 300 through a wireless network and provide laundry information to the affiliated store terminal 300 .

In addition, the affiliated store management unit 130 obtains a unique identification symbol assigned to the new laundry through the affiliated store terminal 300 and records the obtained unique identification symbol in a laundry information table to register laundry newly used in the affiliated store ( registration) can be done.

Also, the affiliated store management unit 130 may perform user authentication on the affiliated store terminal 300 and provide information recorded in the laundry information table to the affiliated store terminal 300 for which user authentication has been completed.

The purchase management unit 140 receives a purchase request for new laundry (ie, clothing to which the RFID tag 10 is attached) by communicating with the affiliated store terminal 300 using a wireless network, and responds to the received purchase request , payment is performed in conjunction with a payment server operated by a financial institution, etc. using the payment information included in the purchase request, and when the payment is completed, a delivery request for new laundry may be transmitted to the delivery terminal 400 .

Meanwhile, the laundry platform server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention uses artificial intelligence to predict new laundry demand for each affiliate store based on a purchase request received from the affiliate store terminal 300 and laundry information recorded in the laundry information table. An order management unit 150 may be further included.

The artificial intelligence order management unit 150 may predict demand for new laundry for each affiliated store using an artificial neural network (ANN).

For example, the artificial intelligence order management unit 150 determines the timing and number of purchase requests received from the affiliated store terminal 300, the quantity, type, color, and size of new laundry according to the purchase request, and laundry items owned by the corresponding affiliated store. Input data may be generated by combining at least one of the quantity and the quantity selected as laundry items to be discarded among laundry items of which the owner is a corresponding member store, and the generated input data may be input to the artificial neural network. Also, the artificial intelligence order management unit 150 may obtain a demand for new laundry (ie, quantity) as an output according to an artificial neural network.

On the other hand, an artificial neural network (ANN) must be trained in advance using supervised learning or unsupervised learning. To this end, the result value corresponding to the input training data is usually provided to the artificial neural network, and the artificial neural network calculates a loss function between the output value obtained when the input training data is received and the result value (result value corresponding to the input training data). A supervised learning method that calculates and updates the weights of each layer constituting the artificial neural network so that the result according to the calculated loss function is minimized is mainly used.

However, since the supervised learning method needs to provide result values corresponding to input data to the artificial neural network, it is necessary to initially determine result values corresponding to input data in advance and provide them as training data.

To this end, the artificial intelligence order management unit 150 determines demand (result value) corresponding to the input data in advance, configures the input data and the demand corresponding thereto as training data, and uses the configured training data to generate an artificial neural network. can be supervised.

For example, the artificial intelligence order management unit 160 may determine the demand corresponding to the input data according to Equation 1 below.

Referring to Equation 1, Pn is the number of purchase requests received within a preset period of time, Ti is a time point (hour) at which an i-th purchase request is received within a preset period of time, and Tc is the current time point (hour) where Pq is the quantity of laundry selected as laundry to be discarded among laundry whose owner is the corresponding affiliate store, Pr is the quantity of laundry whose owner is the corresponding affiliate store, k1 is a weight for the purchase request, and k2 is a weight for the quantity. there is.

In Equation 1, k1 and k2 are treated as weighting constants to be adjusted experimentally, and avg (Ti-Tc) is the average of the difference periods between the times at which purchase requests are received and the current time within a preset period. can mean computation.

Accordingly, the artificial intelligence order management unit 160 may configure training data by matching the demand according to Equation 1 with the input data, and may supervise and learn the artificial neural network using the configured training data.
