Abstract
The article management device may transmit a radio wave signal through a plurality of internal antennas communicating with the tags of the articles stored therein or an external antenna communicating with the tags of the articles externally, Receives the tag signal responding to the radio wave signal through the antenna to acquire the tag information, and manages the article using the acquired tag information. At this time, a path for signal transmission / reception with a plurality of internal antennas or external antennas is set according to the carry-in and carry-out of articles through the antenna port expanding portion.
Description
The present invention relates to an article managing apparatus and method, and more particularly, to a smart cabinet apparatus for managing special medicines and a method for administering medicines.
In general, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology attaches tags to each object at each application stage, recognizes the unique identifier of the object wirelessly, collects, stores, processes and tracks the information, Remote processing, management and information exchange between objects.
Conventional RFID cabinet devices use RFID technology to store articles, provide detailed information of articles and present inventory information, identify users, and manage user access.
In general, an RFID tag including detailed information of the stored article, an antenna for communicating with the RFID tag, and an RFID reader for receiving information of the RFID tag are located inside the RFID cabinet apparatus, and an identification The device and the locking device are mounted. Such an RFID cabinet device is less accurate in terms of stock identification depending on the application environment, and the complexity and cost of the device configuration increase as the number of articles increases.
In particular, the conventional RFID cabinet device uses RFID technology, which is less accurate depending on the application environment, and information with low reliability is combined with user information, which can cause a serious problem in security.
Also, as the number of products increases, the recognition range of the RFID reader in the RFID cabinet device is limited, which requires a plurality of antennas or a plurality of RFID readers. Based on current commercial RFID readers, only four antennas can be connected to the RFID reader, and the price of the RFID reader is relatively inefficient compared to the antenna. At this time, the number of antennas can be increased by using a power divider, but this can cause another problem such as attenuation of the transmission power of the RFID reader and collision between a plurality of RFID tags due to transmission of the constant power of the RFID reader.
In addition, although the present invention specifies a double-metal safeguard that is locked in accordance with the Act on the Management of Narcotic Drugs and the Enforcement Regulations of the Act on Specified Drug Administration, conventional RFID cabinet devices are not suitable for the purpose of special drug management.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] The present invention provides an apparatus and method for managing a special medicament.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an article managing apparatus and method which can improve the accuracy of inventory identification and minimize the complexity and cost of the apparatus configuration.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for managing an article is provided. The article management apparatus includes a plurality of internal antennas, an external antenna, a radio wave identification unit, an antenna port expansion unit, and a central control unit. The plurality of internal antennas communicate internally with a tag of an article stored inside the apparatus. The external antenna communicates with the tag of the article to be carried in and out and outside the apparatus. The radio wave identification unit transmits a radio wave signal through the plurality of internal antennas or the external antenna and receives a tag signal responding to the radio wave signal from the plurality of internal antennas or the external antenna from the tag to acquire tag information do. The antenna port extension unit sets a path for signal transmission / reception with the plurality of internal antennas or the external antenna. And the central control unit manages the articles stored in the apparatus by using the tag information acquired by the radio wave identification unit.
The article managing apparatus further includes a double door for carrying the article in and out, and a locking device for the door. At this time, the article managing apparatus is formed of iron.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet device for special drug management compensates for the disadvantages of the RFID technology that the accuracy of the inventory identification is degraded according to the application environment through the external recognition procedure of the external authentication module, By increasing the number of antenna ports without increasing the number of readers and increasing the recognition rate of tags by eliminating the shadow areas of radio waves, the accuracy of the article management can be improved.
In addition, it is possible to construct a cabinet device without increasing the number of readers, which is effective in cost reduction.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the recognition information of the tagged article recognized inside the cabinet apparatus, the recognition information of the article recognized outside the cabinet apparatus, the authentication information of the user who has approached the cabinet apparatus, , Information on the occurrence of errors in the importing and exporting process is transmitted to the server, so that detailed information necessary for special drug management can be updated easily.
In addition, the cabinet unit can record and store the input / output situation in a computer, rather than a manual, in compliance with the double iron safes made of locks in accordance with the Act on Narcotic Management of Enforcement Regulations .
