Description

Correction belt exhaustion prompt system and method based on Internet of things

The present invention relates to a prompt system and method thereof, in particular to a correction band exhaustion prompt system and method based on the Internet of Things.

In recent years, with the rise of the handwriting trend, many people gradually changed from computer typing to handwriting because handwriting can make people feel emotion, warmth and sincerity. Common writing tools include pens, ball pens, signature pens, etc. Wait. However, unlike pencils that can be corrected with an eraser, these writing instruments require the use of a correction tape device for correction. Therefore, how to provide a convenient correction tape device has become one of the problems that manufacturers are eager to solve.

Generally speaking, the traditional correction tape device has a correction tape coated with a white correction pigment layer. When the user uses the correction tape device, the white correction pigment layer can be attached to the text to be corrected, so that the white correction pigment can be attached to the text to be corrected. Write the corrected text on the layer to achieve the purpose of correcting the text. When the correction pigment layer is exhausted, a new belt body needs to be replaced to supplement the new correction belt. In fact, in order to let the user know the usage status of the correction belt, the belt body is usually arranged in a transparent plastic casing, so that the user can know the usage status directly. However, due to the inconspicuousness of this method, the use of It is often easy to ignore it, so it is often only when the correction pigment layer is exhausted that it is discovered that a new correction belt needs to be added, so there is a problem of poor timeliness and convenience in replacing the belt body.

In view of this, some manufacturers have proposed a technical means of prompting the user with a striking color directly before the correction pigment layer is exhausted. When you reach the red correction paint layer, you can realize that the correction paint layer is about to be exhausted. However, this method often cannot provide the user with sufficient response time, that is, when the user knows that the belt is about to be exhausted, it is too late to buy a new belt for replacement, so it still cannot effectively solve the timeliness of replacing the belt. and poor convenience.

To sum up, it can be seen that in the prior art, there has been the problem of poor timeliness and convenience in replacing the belt body for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved technical means to solve this problem.

The present invention discloses a system and a method for indicating the exhaustion of correction band based on the Internet of Things.

Wherein, the sensing module is used for continuously sensing the remaining length of the correction pigment layer in the belt body and the use time of the correction belt device through the sensing element to generate the use state; the transmission module is electrically connected to the sensing module, using to transmit the generated usage status to the server through the wireless transmission element, and receive the trigger signal from the server; and the drive module is electrically connected to the transmission module The group is used to drive the passive element to output a preset exhaust prompt message to prompt the replacement of the belt when the trigger signal is received.

In addition, the present invention also discloses a method for prompting the exhaustion of correction tape based on the Internet of Things. Wireless transmission element, sensing element and passive element; the correction belt device continuously senses the remaining length of the correction pigment layer in the belt body and the use time of the correction belt device through the sensing element to generate the use state, and the generated data is generated through the wireless transmission element. The usage status is sent to the server; the server calculates the average usage length according to the remaining length of the corrected paint layer and the usage time in the received usage status, and when the remaining length of the corrected paint layer is less than the average usage length or the average usage length is smaller than the preset bottom When the length is limited, a trigger signal is generated and sent to the correction belt device; and when the correction belt device receives the trigger signal, the passive element is driven to output a preset exhaust prompt message to prompt the belt body to be replaced.

The system and method disclosed in the present invention are as above, and the difference from the prior art is that the present invention continuously senses the remaining length of the correction paint layer and the usage time through the correction tape device and transmits them to the server together, so that the server can determine the remaining length and the usage time of the paint layer according to the Use time to calculate the average use length, and when the remaining length is less than the average use length, or the average use length is less than the preset minimum length, a trigger signal is sent to trigger the passive element set in the correction belt device, so that the passive element reminds the user Replace the belt body.
