Problems to be solved by the invention

[0004] An information code can be stored in a large amount of information in a space-saving manner, and is therefore widely used even at present when the range of use is extremely wide. However, with the conventional information code, for example, when it is used for an address label such as Patent Document 2, it is used for the postal code and address of the delivery address, and for the process management of products produced at the factory as Patent Document 3. If it is, detailed information such as part information (part number, drawing number describing use of parts, etc.) is encoded. For this reason, anyone who has an information code reader can easily read this information and tamper with the information.

[0005] When a two-dimensional code is used as an information code, information of about 2000 bytes can be encoded. However, the number of items of parts, such as industrial products, is in the 100 million class, for example. Then, there is a problem that it is not possible to store all the detailed information about the parts. In other words, information can only be encoded within the range of 2000 bytes.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

An example of the system configuration of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

This will be described with reference to the drawings. The hardware configuration diagram of FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a computer terminal that executes the information acquisition system 1 of the present invention, and is an arithmetic device 11 such as a CPU, a RAM disk, The processing is realized on a computer terminal (including a server) having a storage device 12 such as. The computer terminal further includes an input device 10 such as a keyboard, a mouse, an information code reader 2, a display device 14 such as a display, a printing device 15 such as a printer, and other computer terminals via a network such as the Internet. It is preferable to further include a communication device 13 that transmits and receives.

[0038] A program that realizes the information acquisition system 1 is recorded on a hard disk of the computer terminal, and is read into a RAM or the like when a predetermined operation is performed. By executing this in step 11, the information acquisition system 1 is processed. Information used in these processes is stored in a storage device 12 such as a RAM disk in various file storage formats such as a database and a data file, and is processed by being read out appropriately during the process. The processing result is also written to the storage device 12 such as a RAM or a hard disk and stored as appropriate. Each means in the present invention is only logically distinguished in function, and may be physically or virtually the same area.

[0039] The information acquisition system 1 includes a hierarchy position information acquisition unit 3, an information acquisition unit 5, an information storage unit 4, and an information output unit 6. The information acquisition system 1 can transmit and receive information to and from the information code reader 2.

[0040] The information code reading device 2 is a device for reading an information code attached to an object. For example, when the information code is a bar code, the information code reading device 2 is an optical bar code reader. To do. By reading the information code, the read information (hierarchical position information) is passed to the information acquisition system 1.

[0041] In this specification, a hierarchical structure (hierarchical position information) is an information code that is configured based on object-oriented detailed information on relationships and attributes of basic semantic units! Parent-child relationships such as attributes of objects. This is a relationship structure indicating an attribute inheritance relationship, and can be expressed by connecting relationship information. As shown in Fig. 4, basic semantic units are divided into catalog information and attribute dictionaries. Catalog information is information that is the basis of hierarchy position information. , One element of information representing the attribute of the object. The attribute dictionary is information that stores detailed information of attributes of catalog information. In other words, the unique code (hierarchical position information) assigned to the catalog information of the basic semantic unit depends on the parent classification indicating the unique code that belongs to the upper level of the basic semantic unit, the name indicating the attribute, and the attribute. It is configured. In the attribute dictionary representing the attributes in the catalog information, the name of the attribute and the definition content are associated as detailed information. Fig. 4 shows a conceptual diagram of basic semantic units, and Fig. 5 shows a conceptual diagram of hierarchical location information composed of the basic semantic units. The unique code in Fig. 4 corresponds to the hierarchy position information. For example, as catalog information associated with the hierarchy position information of "A003", it is located under "A002", its name is "Amplifier", and the attribute Detailed information includes “AAE1” and “AAE2”. Here, the attribute detailed information “AAE1” is associated with the name “delay time” and the definition content “propagation delay” as an attribute dictionary. Therefore, it can be seen that “delay time” exists as an attribute of the amplifier whose hierarchical position information is “A003”. Similarly, referring to FIG. 5, in this example, “low frequency amplifier” of “A005”, “radio amplifier” of “A006”, “wireless amplifier” of “A006”, “ "Broadband amplifier" is associated. Of these, the hierarchical position information “A005” is positioned below “A003” from FIG. 4 and its name is “low frequency amplifier”. As attribute detailed information, “AAF5” and “AAF9” are listed. You can see that

In this way, the hierarchical position information indicates the parent-child relationship / attribute inheritance relationship such as the attribute of each object. In this specification, the information corresponding to the hierarchical position information is information related to attributes of an object to which an information code is attached and an object constituting the object (parts constituting the object), for example, tabular data. (Relational databases, spreadsheets, sequential files, etc.), tree format data (tree type data model), parametric data (3D CAD model, etc.), spatial data (map data, etc.) In addition, all of the data formats that manage many and various attributes such as multi-dimensional, multi-layer, and neuron type are applicable.

The hierarchy position information acquisition means 3 is means for receiving, from the information code reader 2, the hierarchy position information in the information code attached to the object read by the information code reader 2. In addition to the hierarchy position information, the information code is used to identify detailed information on the attribute of the object. Detailed information management codes (such as “AAG 1” and “AAG2” in FIG. 5) may also be included. The distinction between the hierarchy position information and the detailed information management code is made by defining each information in advance, and the determination is made based on the rule. In the above case, for example, if the first character is alphabetic and the remaining three characters are numbers, the hierarchy position information is identified. If the first three characters are alphabetic characters and the remaining one character is numeric, the detailed information management code is identified. it can. This rule can be set arbitrarily.

[0044] The information storage means 4 is a means for storing the basic semantic units of an object in association with each other as a hierarchical structure, and storing catalog information and attribute dictionaries in the basic semantic units. The semantic unit is stored in association with hierarchical position information that is a position in the hierarchical structure. Figure 6 shows a conceptual diagram of the method for storing information in such a hierarchical structure. In FIG. 6, for example, there is “manufacturing company” as an attribute corresponding to the hierarchical position A, and “manufacturing company name” information is stored as detailed information associated with the attribute. In addition, “switching device” is an attribute corresponding to the hierarchical position D, and “part code” information is stored as detailed information associated with the attribute. “Low-voltage switchgear” is an attribute corresponding to the hierarchical position E, and “rated breaking capacity” and “extreme” information are stored as detailed information associated with the attribute. “Wiring breaker” is an attribute corresponding to the hierarchical position G, and “frame size” and “mounting method” information is stored as detailed information associated with the attribute. FIG. 7 shows a conceptual diagram of the information storage means 4 stored in this way.

[0045] Based on the hierarchy position information received by the hierarchy position information acquisition means 3, the information acquisition means 5 searches the information storage means 4 for the attribute corresponding to the hierarchy position and its detailed information, and acquires the information It is. The information acquisition means 5 identifies the attribute information (for example, company, department, and individual) of the user who requested acquisition (output) of the information from the input device 10 when acquiring information from the information storage means 4. A process for determining whether the information acquired based on the hierarchical position information can be output by receiving input such as a name and a number) may be provided. For example, the user receives an input of the name of the company where he / she works from the input device 10, and the information acquisition means 5 acquires the name of the manufacturing company from the information storage means 4 based on the hierarchical position information and inputs the name. The company name you received matches the name of the manufacturer you acquired! In this case, a determination process can be provided in which output is permitted from the information output means 6 to be described later, and output is not permitted if they do not match.

[0046] The information output means 6 uses the display device 14, the printing device 15, the communication device 13 and the like to display attributes and detailed information corresponding to the hierarchical position information acquired by the information acquisition device 5 from the information storage device 4. It is a means to output. For example, the acquired attribute or detailed information is displayed on a display device 14 such as a display, printed on a printing device 15 such as a printer, or transmitted to another computer terminal via a network such as the Internet. To do.

Example 1

[0047] First, an example of a processing process for reading an information code attached to an object using the information acquisition system 1 of the present invention is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the system configuration diagram of FIG. 1, and the hardware of FIG. This will be described with reference to the configuration diagram. In this embodiment, a QR code is used as an information code, and a case where a product manufactured by Kosha (wiring breaker) is described as an information code attached. It is assumed that this wiring breaker is a part used for a low-voltage switchgear among the switchgear manufactured by Kosha. Assume that Fig. 6 is a conceptual diagram of the hierarchical position of the attributes of this wiring breaker. In addition to the QR code, the information code may be encoded as a one-dimensional barcode, another two-dimensional barcode, or stored as information in an ic tag or the like.

[0048] In the case of the hierarchical position conceptual diagram shown in FIG. 6, the switchgear manufactured by the manufacturing company (Company K) has a low-pressure switchgear and a high-voltage switchgear. There are low-pressure circuit breakers, and high-pressure switchgears include vacuum circuit breakers and gas circuit breakers. The manufacturing company, switchgear, low-voltage switchgear, high-voltage switchgear, wiring breaker, earth leakage breaker, low-voltage breaker, vacuum breaker, and gas breaker are each assigned information on the hierarchical position. , D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K are set. In the present embodiment, since the attribute of the object to which the information code is attached is the wiring breaker, “A, D, E, F” is coded as the hierarchical position information included in the information code. For example, the information code should be attached to the surface of the wiring breaker.

[0049] Further, detailed information corresponds to the attribute corresponding to each hierarchical position. For example, the attribute “Manufacturer” of the hierarchical position A has “Manufacturer name” as detailed information, the attribute “Closing device” of the hierarchical position D has “Part code” as detailed information, and the attribute “ "Low pressure switchgear" The detailed information includes "rated breaking capacity" and "pole dispersion", and the attribute "wiring breaker" at the hierarchical position G is associated with detailed information of "frame size" and "mounting method". Yes. Detailed information is also associated with the attributes of other hierarchical positions F, H, I, J, and K, respectively. Figure 13 shows a schematic diagram of each component of the wiring breaker in a tabular form. This is also stored in the information storage means 4.

[0050] First, the user of the present invention reads the information code attached to the wiring breaker by means of the information code reading device 2 (S100). By this reading, as shown in FIG. 6, the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 acquires the hierarchical position information of the attribute of the object (S110).

For example, when the information code is the QR code shown in FIG. 6, the hierarchical position information acquisition unit 3 reads the hierarchical code A read by the information code reader 2 by reading the information code with the information code reader 2. , D, E, and G are received from the information code reader 2.

[0052] The information acquisition means 5 is based on the hierarchy position information (in this case, information on the hierarchy positions A, D, E, and G) read from the information code attached to the object received by the hierarchy position information acquisition means 3. Then, the attribute and detailed information corresponding to the hierarchy position are acquired from the information storage means 4 (S120).

Here, since the hierarchy position information is the hierarchy positions A, D, E, and G, the attribute corresponding to the hierarchy position information and the detailed information thereof are acquired. Assuming that the information storage means 4 is in the state shown in FIGS. 7 and 13, the detailed information of the attribute “manufacturing company” is “manufacturing company name: Kosha”, and the detailed information of the attribute “switching device” is “part code: ABUHIN001, ABUHIN002 ”, detailed information of the attribute“ low pressure switchgear ”is“ rated breaking capacity: 596.8, 596.7 ”and“ Gokusan: JP ”, and details of the attribute“ wiring breaker ” Since the information is “frame size: 50AF, 100AFJ and“ mounting method: surface mounting ”, attributes and detailed information corresponding to the hierarchical position acquired as hierarchical position information are acquired from the information storage means 4 and displayed in tabular format. Convert to Figure 8 shows the result of conversion to the tabular format.

The information output means 6 outputs the attribute and detailed information acquired by the information acquisition means 5 based on the hierarchical position information by the display device 14, the printing device 15, the communication device 13, etc. (S130). For example, the acquired attributes and detailed information can be displayed on a display device 14 such as a display, Or the like, or the communication device 13 transmits the data to another computer terminal via a network such as the Internet. For example, Figure 8 may appear on the display as a result.

[0055] In this way, the attribute information and detailed information of the object are not directly encoded in the information code, but the hierarchical position information is encoded and the hierarchical position information is read to obtain the corresponding attribute and detailed information. By doing so, the information encoded as the information code can be greatly reduced. In addition, when the detailed information is encoded as it is in the conventional code, the information code attached to the object is, for example, “wiring breaker” as an attribute and “frame size: 50AF, “100AF” and “Mounting method: Surface mounting” are encoded. Therefore, detailed information with different attributes such as the component code of the circuit breaker for wiring, the manufacturer's name, the rated breaking capacity, and the pole dispersion cannot be obtained unless the code is entered separately. A large amount of information is required if the code is encoded. On the other hand, since the present invention only encodes the hierarchical position information, the attribute and detailed information corresponding to the hierarchical position information can be easily obtained, and the information encoded in the information code can be obtained. Can be greatly reduced.

[0056] Even if it is not necessary to sign all the hierarchy position information into the above information code, a part of the same hierarchy is a wild card (an arbitrary character string of an arbitrary number of characters. UNIX ( Registered trademark) *, "?", Etc.). For example, as shown in FIG. 9, “*, D, E, G” may be used as the hierarchy position information encoded in the information code. Then, since "*" is a wild card here, it includes other hierarchical positions in the same hierarchy. Then, in the case of FIG. 9, the attribute “manufacturer” is not limited to hierarchy position A, but also includes hierarchy position B and hierarchy position C. Therefore, in addition to “Kosha”, “Otosha” and “Tatsumisha” are also included. “A, D, E, G”, “B, D, E, G”, “C, D, E, G” The information acquisition means 5 acquires attributes and detailed information corresponding to the three hierarchical positions. An example of the information thus obtained is shown in FIG.

[0057] Further, in the case where the conceptual diagram of the hierarchy of information stored in the information storage means 4 is shown in Fig. 11 and the hierarchy position information read from the information code is "A, X, *", the hierarchy position The information acquisition means 5 acquires the attributes and detailed information from the information storage means 4 for all hierarchy positions (here, hierarchy position XA, hierarchy position XB) belonging to A, hierarchy position X, and hierarchy position X. It will be.

[0058] In this way, information is acquired in a wide variety of forms by encoding hierarchical position information as in the present invention rather than encoding detailed attribute information directly in an information code as in the prior art. I can do it. In particular, by including wildcards, the hierarchy position information is not uniform, so the possibility of acquiring information is expanded.

[0059] In addition, when information is acquired by the information acquisition means 5, a part or all of the hierarchical position information that is not used as it is is partially or entirely read out by the information code reader 2. It may be possible to change to a card or other hierarchical location information. In this case, the information acquisition means 5 receives the input of the hierarchy position information from the input device 10 or the like, and changes a part of the hierarchy position information. For example, when the hierarchical position information read by the information code reader 2 is “A, X, XA” and the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 also receives the information code reader 2 output, “XA” in the hierarchical position information is wild. When inputting information to the information storage means 4 by changing the input to the card “*” or other hierarchical position “XB” from the input device 10 and accepting the input by the information acquisition means 5 “A, X, *” or “A, X, XB” can be used as the hierarchy position information.

[0060] Further, pinpoint information may be acquired by the information acquisition means 5 receiving from the input device 10 an input that restricts detailed information to the hierarchical position information read by the information code reading device 2. . For example, when the read hierarchy position information is “A, D, E, G”, the hierarchy position information is passed from the hierarchy position information acquisition means 3 to the information acquisition means 5, but here the hierarchy position information is changed. Since the input is performed, the information acquisition unit 5 receives the input of the hierarchy position information to be changed.

For example, an input for changing the hierarchical position information “A” to “*” is received from the input device 1010, and further an input for adding information of “part code = ABUHIN002” is received. Then, the information acquisition means 5 receives such information. Based on the information for changing the hierarchical position information “A” that has also received the input device 1010 input to “*” and the information to which “part code = ABUHI N002” is added, the information acquisition means 5 The hierarchy position information “A, D, E, G” received from is changed to “*, D, E, G, part code = ABUHIN002”. Based on the changed hierarchy position information, the information acquisition means 5 Force Acquires information corresponding to the corresponding hierarchy position information. At this time, the wild card “*” and the detailed information “part code = ABUHIN002J” are limited. Therefore, no part code other than “ABUHIN002” is acquired as the “part code” at the hierarchical position D. Accordingly, information as shown in FIG. 12 is acquired from the information storage means 4 and output by the information output means 6.

[0062] Furthermore, conventionally, once detailed information is coded in the information code, the contents cannot be updated, deleted, registered, or the like. Therefore, in addition to the processing described above, this is provided by providing information updating means (not shown) for updating, deleting, registering, etc., information stored in the information storage means 4 of the information acquisition system 1 of the present invention. It becomes possible. In other words, the information updating means accepts information to be updated and its hierarchical position information from the input device 10, updates it in the information storage means 4, accepts designation of information to be deleted from the input device 10, and receives the information. The information is deleted from the information storage means 4, and similarly, the information to be registered and its hierarchical position information are received from the input device 10, and the information is registered in the information storage means 4. As a result, the information can be updated in association with the hierarchical position information without changing the information code itself.

Example 2

[0063] Next, in the information acquisition system 1 of the present invention, when the information code attached to the object includes not only the hierarchical position information but also the detailed information management code for identifying the detailed information of the attribute 1, Will be explained. An example of the content of the information code read by the information code reader 2 in this case is shown in FIG. In the case of Fig. 14, QR codes, other two-dimensional codes, one-dimensional codes, IC tags, etc. are attached to the objects, and the contents of the information codes are written (or stored). The read contents are shown in FIG. In FIG. 14, “A003, A007, AO 11, A112, AAG1. AAG2” are read. This includes “AO 03, A007, AOll, A112” as the hierarchical position information, and “AAG1. A AG2” as the detailed information management code. The contents of the information code in Fig. 14 are based on the hierarchical structure in Fig. 5.

[0064] In the first embodiment described above, only the hierarchical position information is included as a basic semantic unit. However, in the present embodiment, it is further identified as information indicating the attribute of the hierarchical position information. A detailed information management code is also included. Therefore, the read information code In addition to the attributes corresponding to each hierarchical position information of “A003”, “A007”, “A011”, “A112” and the detailed information thereof, “AAG1” is used as detailed information of the attribute of the object to which the information code is attached. "A indicates that the detailed information of the attribute corresponding to AG2J is included. In this way, not only the hierarchical position information but also the detailed information management code that identifies the detailed information of the attribute has the basic meaning in the information code. By including it in the unit, it is possible to know the attribute of the object directly without having to input the hierarchical position information.

Further, by using the detailed information management code as a search key in the same manner as in the first embodiment, an object having detailed information of the attribute can be easily searched or stored in the information storage means 4 by the information updating means. It is possible to easily update, delete, register, etc. information. The information code reader 2 reads the information code, the hierarchical position information included in the information code is read by the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3, and the detailed information management code included in the information code is read by the detailed information management code acquisition means 7 The information acquisition means 5 acquires the information corresponding to the hierarchical position information and the detailed information management code from the information storage means 4 and displays it on the display device 14 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Further, the information storage means 4 stores information corresponding to the detailed information management code in addition to information corresponding to the hierarchical position information. Example 3

In the first and second embodiments described above, a case has been described in which one information code is read by the information code reading device 2 and detailed information on attributes corresponding to the information code is displayed. The information code attached to a plurality of objects can be read by the information code reader 2, and the control on the semantic relationship between the objects can be performed. This control of the semantic relationship between objects is called “semantic matching” in this specification.

[0067] For example, an information code included in an electronic tag affixed to a multi-story parking device in a multi-story parking lot and an information code included in an electronic tag affixed to an automobile may be read by the information code reader 2. Therefore, it is possible to check whether the body size and weight of the car are compatible. Figure 15 schematically shows this. In FIG. 15, the left side shows the hierarchical structure of the car, and the right side shows the hierarchical structure of the multilevel parking device.

[0068] Note that the information acquisition system 1 that performs semantic collation includes an information collation unit 8 that stores in advance which information is to be compared under what conditions by semantic collation. Ru . An example of such an information acquisition system 1 is shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, since the car that fits in the multi-story parking device is collated, detailed information on the car body size (full length, full width, full height) and weight attributes is determined by the multi-story parking device. A condition for determining whether the information is below the detailed information of the body size and weight attributes is stored.

[0069] First, when a car enters the multilevel parking lot, for example, an information code included in an electronic tag provided in the car is read by an information code reading device 2 at a booth that accepts the car. This reading may be performed by an attendant, or the electronic tag may be automatically read by the information code reader 2. After reading the car's electronic tag, it is temporarily stored. In addition, the clerk reads the electronic tag of the multi-story parking device provided at a predetermined place by the information code reader 2. Even if the information code of the electronic tag of the multi-story parking device is not read every time, the information code reading device 2 may be stored in the predetermined storage device 12 in advance. After that, it may be configured to be stored in the predetermined storage device 12!

[0070] When the information codes stored in the electronic tags of the automobile and the multi-story parking apparatus are read in this way, the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 obtains the hierarchical position information in each information code, and the detailed information management code becomes the detailed information. The management code acquisition means 7 extracts from the information code. The read hierarchical position information and detailed information management code are passed to the information acquisition means 5.

The information acquisition unit 5 extracts information corresponding to the hierarchical position information and the detailed information management code from the information storage unit 4 and passes the information to the information matching unit 8. Then, the information collating means 8 collates the power / failure conditions that satisfy the conditions stored therein. Here, detailed information on attributes indicating the vehicle body size (full length, full width, total height) and weight of the vehicle, detailed information on attributes indicating the vehicle body size (full length, full width, total height) and weight of the multilevel parking device, and The detailed information on the car body size and weight attribute is less than those of the multi-story parking system. As shown in FIG. 15, since all of these conditions are satisfied, the information matching means 8 passes a display instruction such as “parking permission” to the information output means 6, and the information output means 6 Such a display is performed and the gate bar of the parking lot is opened. As a result, the car enters the parking system and parks it.

[0072] In the above case, the automobile and the multi-story parking apparatus are compared. The case where the rear is attached and the judgment is made in consideration of it is shown below. In this case, a hierarchical structure is defined for each of the automobile, the ski carrier, and the multi-story parking apparatus, and detailed information on the attributes thereof is stored in the information storage means 4.

[0073] In this case, when the information collating means 8 reads the information of a plurality of electronic tags when comparing the vehicle body size and weight of the automobile, the total height in the information code stored in the electronic tag of the automobile is read. The total height and weight of the information codes stored in other electronic tags are added to the weight information and compared, and the total length and width are compared in the information code stored in the automobile electronic tag. The condition of comparing the full length and the full width with the larger value by comparing the full length and the full width in the information code stored in the other electronic tag is stored in advance.

An example of the hierarchical structure in this case is shown in FIG.

[0075] When a car with a ski carrier enters the multi-story parking lot, for example, in a booth that accepts, an information code included in an electronic tag provided on the car and a ski carrier are provided. The information code included in the electronic tag is read by the information code reader 2. This reading may be performed by a staff member, or the electronic tag may be automatically read by the information code reader 2. After reading the car and ski carrier's electronic tags, they are temporarily stored. In addition, the clerk reads the electronic tag of the multilevel parking device provided at a predetermined place with the information code reader 2. Note that the information code of the electronic tag of the multi-story parking device may not be read every time, but the information code reader 2 may be stored in the predetermined storage device 12 in advance, or may be read once and then read. The descending may be stored in a predetermined storage device 12.

[0076] When the information codes stored in the electronic tags of the car, the ski carrier, and the multilevel parking device are read in this way, the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 obtains the hierarchical position information in each information code, and the detailed information management code Is extracted from the information code by the detailed information management code acquisition means 7. Then, the read hierarchical position information and the detailed information management code are passed to the information acquisition means 5.

The information acquisition unit 5 extracts information corresponding to the hierarchical position information and the detailed information management code from the information storage unit 4 and passes the information to the information matching unit 8. And the information matching means 8 The power / failure conditions that satisfy the conditions stored there are checked. Here, first, information verification means

According to the conditions in 8, detailed attribute information indicating the car body size (full length, full width, total height) and weight, and detailed attribute information indicating the ski carrier size (full length, full width, total height) and weight In comparison, the detailed information of the larger attribute of the total length and the total width is determined. In this case, since the detailed information on the attribute of the car is large in all cases, it is decided to use the detailed information on the full length attribute and the detailed information on the full width attribute for the determination. Similarly, the total height and weight are conditions for adding detailed information for each attribute, so add them.

[0078] After processing the detailed information of the attributes of the car and the ski carrier in this way, the detailed information of the attributes indicating the vehicle body size (full length, full width, full height) and weight of the three-dimensional parking device are collated, It will be compared whether the detailed information on the size and weight attributes of automobiles and ski carriers is less than those of multi-story parking devices. As shown in FIG. 17, since all of these conditions are satisfied, the information matching means 8 passes a display instruction such as “parking permission” to the information output means 6, and the information output means 6 In addition to displaying such information, the gate bar of the parking lot is opened. As a result, the car enters the multilevel parking device and parks it.

[0079] In the above example, the case of collation between a car and a multi-story parking lot has been described. However, for example, an electronic tag is attached to a hotel room, and the normal equipment information of the room is attached to the electronic tag. A code (hierarchical position information and detailed information management code) that can access a dictionary that indicates capacity and room arrangement information when an extra bed is placed is stored as an information code. The electronic tag affixed to the equipment in the room stores a code (hierarchical position information and detailed information management code) that can access a dictionary that points to information such as the specifications and features of the equipment, useful life, and maintenance history. deep. Then, by reading the electronic tag of the room and the electronic tag of the equipment with the information code reader 2, the information code stored in them is read, and the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 includes the hierarchical position included in the information code. The detailed information management code acquisition means 7 (not shown) acquires the detailed information management code included in the information code, and the information acquisition means 5 stores the information corresponding to the information storage means 4 Get from. Then, by comparing the acquired information, you can check whether there is any contradiction. Figure 18 schematically shows these. [0080] In the case shown in FIG. 18, the information code of the RFID tag attached to the room includes the number of normal beds installed in the room, the number of extra beds that can be introduced (the number of extended beds), and the number of tables. Included are hierarchical position information and detailed information management codes that show detailed information on attributes for various fixtures such as the number of lights, the time to replace them, bed width, etc.

[0081] Similarly, for each piece of equipment such as a bed, table, and lighting, hierarchical position information indicating information about the size, such as the width, height, and length of the equipment, and detailed information on attributes adapted to the equipment, such as replacement time (lifetime) Detailed information management code included! /

[0082] The detailed information of these attributes are all stored in the information storage means 4. The information verification means 8 compares the number of each piece of equipment in the detailed attribute information included in the hotel room information code with the number of detailed attribute information read from each piece of equipment. Compared with (lifetime), a condition is set that means that the information output means 6 outputs the missing Z-equipped equipment and the equipment whose replacement time has passed.

First, a person in charge of a hotel room reads the information code stored in the electronic tag attached to the room with the information code reader 2. Then, the information code stored in the electronic tag affixed to the room fixture, bed, table, illumination, etc. is read by the information code reader 2. For the information code read by the information code reader 2, the hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 extracts the hierarchical position information from the information code, and the detailed information management code acquisition means 7 extracts the detailed information management code from the information code. Pass to acquisition means 5.

The information acquisition unit 5 acquires corresponding information from the information storage unit 4 based on the hierarchy position information and the detailed information management code, and passes the acquired information to the information verification unit 8.

[0085] The information verification means 8 includes the normal number of beds, the number of available ether beds (expanded beds), the number of tables, the number of lights, the time for their replacement, the bed width, etc. included in the room information code. The detailed attribute information is compared with the detailed attribute information on the size and replacement time of the equipment included in the information code of each equipment. Then, it is checked whether the number of equipment is sufficient, the size, whether the replacement time has passed, and the result is passed to the information output means 6. The information output means 6 outputs the result.

[0086] Next, as another application example of the present embodiment, a plant engineer enters a belt conveyor line. Explain how to select which drill screw or bolt should be used when installing the work robot. FIG. 19 schematically shows this. In this case, the information verification means 8 extracts detailed information on the attributes of the screws and bolts used for the work robot from the detailed information on the attributes included in the information codes of the belt conveyor line and the work robot, and uses these as detailed information on the attributes. A condition is registered in advance for searching the specification (model number, etc.) of the corresponding drill from the information storage means 4.

[0087] First, the plant engineer uses the information code reader 2 to store the information code stored in the electronic tag attached to the belt conveyor line and the information code stored in the electronic tag attached to the catalog of the work robot. read. The hierarchical position information acquisition means 3 extracts the hierarchical position information included in each read information code, and the detailed information management code acquisition means 7 extracts the detailed information management code and passes it to the information acquisition means 5.

[0088] The information acquisition means 5 acquires the detailed information of the corresponding attribute from the information storage means 4 based on the respective layer position information and the detailed information management code, and sends it to the information matching means 8 hand over. The information matching means 8 extracts detailed information on the attributes of the screws and bolts that can be attached to the work robot, and uses the detailed information on the attributes as a search key to retrieve a drill corresponding to the detailed information on the attribute. Extract detailed attribute information of specifications (model number, etc.) of (drills that can use screws and bolts). Then, the extracted detailed attribute information of the drill is passed to the information output means 6 and output by the information output means 6. With this configuration, it is possible to know information on the screws and bolts that can be attached to the work robot, and also the plant engineer can know the specifications of the drill that uses the screws and bolts. This allows plant engineers to determine what kind of drill to purchase! In addition to such product selection, in the same manner as described above, a mathematical formula based on the safety standards is registered in the information matching means 8 as a condition based on the relationship between the weight of the work robot and the bolt strength. The present invention can also be used for processing such as determining a robot and a suitable bolt to be used from the viewpoint of strength.

Industrial applicability

[0089] As described above, the information and the hierarchical position information of the detailed information are encoded in the information code, so that the attribute and the detailed information itself can be obtained only by reading the information code as in the past. Since it cannot be grasped, the confidentiality of information is improved and the possibility of falsification is reduced. In addition, since the attribute and detailed information itself are not encoded, even if there is a lot of information related to a part such as an industrial product, it is only necessary to code the hierarchical position related to the attribute and detailed information of the part. Therefore, the amount of information is much smaller than before. In addition, since the attribute and detailed information about the object can be acquired, it is possible to acquire information by various methods using the hierarchical position.

[0090] Furthermore, since the users who can acquire information can be limited as necessary, the information acquisition system 1 as a whole has resistance against information leakage. For this reason, it is possible to provide a basis for communicating secure business transaction information.

[0091] The information code can include not only the hierarchical position information but also a detailed information management code for identifying detailed information of the attribute. Further, the information code is read continuously, and based on the read information code, the processing is performed based on the conditions registered in the information matching means 8 in advance. Semantic verification such as compatibility can be performed.
