[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the asset management system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1 shows

business establishments

1 and 2. The business office 1 is a business office of a trader acting on behalf of client asset management such as inventory. The office 2 is a client's office where asset management is performed by a contractor. In the following, an example will be described in which the inventory of the client of the business office 2 is represented by the business operator of the business office 1.

A business establishment 1 of a trader (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “inventory agent”) has an information processing device 1a, a terminal device 1b, a printing device 1c, and a network 1d. The information processing device 1a, the terminal device 1b, and the printing device 1c are connected to each other via a network 1d. The information processing apparatus 1a is, for example, a server, and the network 1d is, for example, a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

The stocktaking agent has a tablet terminal 1e. The tablet terminal 1e is a tablet terminal provided with a digital camera, for example. The tablet terminal 1e is used by a stocktaking agent or a client at a client's office 2 which is a destination of the stocktaking work. Note that the tablet terminal 1e may be a portable terminal such as a notebook computer, a smartphone, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) equipped with a digital camera.

The information processing apparatus 1a and the tablet terminal 1e can communicate via the network 3. The network 3 is a network having a wireless communication network such as the Internet and a mobile phone network.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining affixing member (tag) used in the asset management system of FIG. FIG. 2 shows the establishment 1 of the inventory agency shown in FIG. 1 and the establishment 2 of the client who entrusts the inventory work to the inventory agency. FIG. 2 shows the printing apparatus 1c and the tablet terminal 1e shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows mounts 11, 13, and 15. The

mounts

11, 13, and 15 are printed by the inventory agent using the printing apparatus 1c.

The mount 11 has a plurality of pasting members. The plurality of sticking members are seals, for example, and can be peeled off from the mount 11. The affixing member peeled off from the mount 11 is affixed to the client's asset. Hereinafter, the sticking member of the mount 11 may be referred to as “registered code”.

The registered code 12 is an enlargement of one of a plurality of pasting members that the mount 11 has. In the registered code 12, a two-dimensional code 12a, a color code 12b, and a code 12c are printed.

The two-dimensional code 12a has, for example, a quadrangular frame, and has a plurality of small quadrangular shapes painted black at various locations within the quadrangular frame. The two-dimensional code 12a indicates specific information by a plurality of square arrangement patterns filled in black. The two-dimensional code has markers at three corners of a rectangular frame, for example. The position of the two-dimensional code 12a is specified by three markers. For example, a QR code (registered trademark) can be used as the two-dimensional code 12a.

The color code 12b has, for example, a plurality of rectangular ‘cells’ vertically and horizontally on a certain background color such as black. Each of the plurality of cells (cell group) is colored. The cell group is associated with specific information according to each attached color or a combination thereof. That is, each cell included in the cell group has an information amount corresponding to the number of colors to be added or the type of color combination.

Among the cell groups arranged vertically and horizontally in the color code 12b, for example, the leftmost cell group is assigned as a specific cell for specifying the position of the color code 12b. Thereby, the position of the color code 12b can be specified. Of the cell group of the color code 12b, for example, the cell group in the uppermost row is a reference region indicating a color assigned to another cell group. Accordingly, the color code 12b can accurately specify the color of the cell group even if the color assigned to the cell group is erroneously read due to the influence of the surrounding environment or the like. For example, a chameleon code (registered trademark) can be used as the color code 12b.

For example, the two-dimensional code 12a has a poor recognition rate unless close-up is taken with a camera or the like, but the color code 12b has a good recognition rate even without close-up. In other words, the color code 12b has a good recognition rate even when taken with a camera from a distance. Therefore, a plurality of color codes 12b can be simultaneously photographed and recognized.

Of course, other codes (for example, one-dimensional barcode) may be used instead of the two-dimensional code 2a if the same function and performance as the two-dimensional code 2a described above can be realized. A color code may be used instead of the two-dimensional code 2a. Further, if the same function and performance as the color code 12b described above can be realized, another code may be used instead of the color code 12b.

The code 12c is obtained by characterizing information indicated by the color code 12b. For example, the “xxxxxxxx” portion of the code 12c is a characterized version of the information indicated by the color code 12b.

The mount 13 has a plurality of pasting members. The plurality of sticking members are seals, for example, and can be peeled off from the mount 13. The affixing member peeled off from the mount 13 is affixed to the client asset. Hereinafter, the pasting member of the mount 13 may be referred to as “unregistered code”.

The unregistered code 14 is an enlargement of one of a plurality of pasting members that the mount 13 has. The unregistered code 14 is printed with a color code 14a, a color code 14b, and a code 14c. The color code 14a and the color code 14b can be simultaneously recognized without performing close-up photography, and have the same configuration as the color code 12b described above. The code 14c is obtained by characterizing information indicated by the color code 14b. For example, the “yyyyy” portion of the code 14c is obtained by characterizing the information indicated by the color code 14b.

The mount 15 has a plurality of pasting members. The plurality of sticking members are, for example, seals and can be peeled off from the mount 15. The pasting member peeled off from the mount 15 is stuck on the color code 14a (the region where the additional registration code 16 is pasted) so as not to overlap the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14. Hereinafter, the pasting member of the mount 15 may be referred to as an “additional registration code”.

The additional registration code 16 is an enlargement of one of a plurality of pasting members that the mount 15 has. In the additional registration code 16, a two-dimensional code 16a and a code 16b are printed. The two-dimensional code 16a has the same configuration as the two-dimensional code 12a described above. Although described in detail below, the code 16b corresponds to the code 14c of the unregistered code 14. The additional registration code 16 is affixed to the unregistered code 14 having the same code 14c as the code 16b.

The unregistered code 14 has the same configuration as the registered code 12 when the additional registration code 16 is pasted on the color code 14a (however, the unregistered code with the additional registration code 16 pasted). 14 is different from the registered code 12 in that it has a code 16b). That is, the unregistered code 14 is a code having the color code 14b and the two-dimensional code 16a.

In the above description, the additional registration code 16 having the two-dimensional code 16a and the code 16b is peeled off from the mount 15. However, only the two-dimensional code 16a is peeled off from the mount 15. Good. Then, only the two-dimensional code 16 a peeled off from the mount 15 may be pasted on the color code 14 a of the unregistered code 14.

2 are assets 17a to 17d shown in FIG. The stocktaking agent takes the

mounts

11 and 13 printed by the printing apparatus 1c, goes to the client's office 2, peels off the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 from the

mounts

11 and 13, and the client assets 17a to 17 Affixed to 17d (how to affix the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 will be described later).

For example, a registered code is affixed to each of the

assets

17a, 17b, and 17d shown in FIG. 2 by an inventory agent. The registered

codes

18a, 18b, and 18d are obtained by enlarging the registered codes attached to the

assets

17a, 17b, and 17d. An unregistered code is affixed to the asset 17c by an inventory agent. The unregistered code 18c is an enlargement of the unregistered code attached to the asset 17c.

When the registered

code

18a, 18b, 18d and the unregistered code 18c are affixed to the client assets 17a to 17d, the inventory agent performs inventory using the tablet terminal 1e.

For example, the inventory agent directs the camera of the tablet terminal 1e toward the client assets 17a to 17d. The tablet terminal 1e performs inventory by detecting the color codes of the registered

codes

18a, 18b, and 18c and the color code of the unregistered code 18c that are displayed on the camera and pasted on the assets 17a to 17d.

Here, as described above, a plurality of color codes can be recognized simultaneously without close-up. Therefore, the inventory agent can easily inventory the assets 17a to 17d by holding the tablet terminal 1e and pointing the camera of the tablet terminal 1e in various directions.

The tablet terminal 1e displays the inventory results of the assets 17a to 17d on the display. For example, the assets 19a to 19d shown in FIG. 2 indicate the assets 17a to 17d photographed by the camera of the tablet terminal 1e, and the tablet terminal 1e displays the color codes of the detected

registered codes

18a, 18b, and 18c. In the vicinity of the color code of the unregistered code 18c, for example, an inventory result such as “OK”, “NG”, “incomplete” is displayed.

“OK” shown in the example of FIG. 2 indicates that the

assets

17a and 17b photographed by the camera are regular assets. “NG” indicates that the asset 17d photographed by the camera is not a regular asset. “Incomplete” means that the additional registration code 16 is not pasted on the smaller color code of the unregistered code 18c pasted on the asset 17c (on the color code 14a of the unregistered code 14). It shows that.

After completion of the inventory work by the inventory agency, the mount 15 is mailed to the client from the inventory agency. The client peels off the additional registration code 16 from the mailed mount 15 and puts the peeled additional registration code 16 on the color code 14a of the asset to which the unregistered code 14 is pasted. Then, the client uses the tablet terminal 1e to photograph (inventory) the unregistered code 14 with the additional registration code 16 attached.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the schematic operation of the asset management system of FIGS. 1 and 2 and the outline of the user's work. FIG. 3 shows the

offices

1 and 2 shown in FIGS.

The client notifies the inventory agent of asset information of the assets owned by the client (step S1). The asset is, for example, a device owned by a client, and the asset information is, for example, device information of a device owned by a client. The device information is, for example, a device model number, a manufacturing number, a serial number, or the like. In the following, it is assumed that the client notifies the inventory agent of the device information of the device owned by the client.

Next, when the inventory agent receives the device information from the client, it registers the device information in the information processing apparatus 1a (step S2).

Next, the stocktaking agent instructs the information processing device 1a to generate the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 using the terminal device 1b (step S3).

The registered code 12 is affixed to a device whose device information is registered in the information processing apparatus 1a. The unregistered code 14 is affixed to a device whose device information is not registered in the information processing apparatus 1a. A device that is not registered in the information processing apparatus 1a is a device for which device information has not been notified from the client in step S1.

Next, the information processing apparatus 1a prints out the mount 11 having the generated registered code 12 with the printing apparatus 1c (step S4). Further, the information processing apparatus 1a prints out the mount 13 having the generated unregistered code 14 with the printing apparatus 1c (step S4).

Next, the stocktaking agent goes to the client's office 2 with the printed out mounts 11 and 13 and the tablet terminal 1e (step S5).

Next, the inventory agent attaches the registered code 12 printed on the mount 11 to the device whose device information is registered in the information processing apparatus 1a. Further, the stocktaking agent attaches the unregistered code 14 printed on the mount 13 to a device whose device information is not registered in the information processing apparatus 1a (step S6).

Here, what is considered as a device in which device information is not registered in the information processing apparatus 1a is, for example, omission of notification from the client in step S1. Or, there may be a case where a device that the client has not grasped is discovered by an inventory agent during inventory work.

As will be described later, the inventory agent can know which device of the client is registered in the information processing device 1a and which device is not registered in the information processing device 1a. Further, the stocktaking agent can know which registered code 12 should be attached to which device of the client registered in the information processing apparatus 1a.

Next, the inventory agent performs inventory and official registration of the device using the tablet terminal 1e (step S7). For example, the stocktaking agent directs the camera of the tablet terminal 1e toward the device in the client's office 2. If the registered code 12 or the unregistered code 14 is affixed to the device to which the camera is directed, for example, the inventory result as shown in the tablet terminal 1e of FIG. 2 is displayed on the display of the tablet terminal 1e. . Formal registration will be described later.

Next, the inventory agent inputs the device information of the device to which the unregistered code 14 is pasted into the tablet terminal 1e (step S8). The device information input to the tablet terminal 1e is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1a.

The dotted line frame 21 indicates the work and processing performed by the inventory agent in the office 2. The order of steps S7 and S8 may be reversed.

Next, the information processing apparatus 1a registers the device information received from the tablet terminal 1e (step S9). By the processing in step S9, the device information of the device that has not been registered in the information processing device 1a is registered in the information processing device 1a. For example, the device information of the device due to the omission of notification of the client in step S1 and the device information of the device discovered during the inventory work are registered in the information processing apparatus 1a.

Next, the information processing apparatus 1a generates an additional registration code 16 in accordance with the operation of the terminal device 1b by the inventory agent (step S10). The two-dimensional code 16a of the additional registration code 16 indicates the device information registered in step S9.

Next, the information processing apparatus 1a prints out the mount 15 having the generated additional registration code 16 by the printing apparatus 1c (step S11).

Next, the inventory agent sends the printed out additional registration code 16 to the client (step S12).

Next, the client pastes the additional registration code 16 mailed from the stocktaking agent on the color code 14a of the device to which the unregistered code 14 is pasted (step S13).

Thus, although not registered in step S2, the device registered in the information processing apparatus 1a in step S9 is in a state in which the same code as the device registered in step S2 is attached. That is, the device registered in step S9 is in a state in which a sticking member having a color code and a two-dimensional code is stuck. The device to which the additional registration code 16 is attached is an inventory target.

As will be described later, the client can know to which unregistered code 14 the additional registration code 16 should be attached.

Next, the client performs inventory and formal registration of the unregistered device using the tablet terminal 1e (step S14). For example, the client photographs the unregistered code 14 with the additional registration code 16 pasted on the tablet terminal 1e, and performs inventory and formal registration. Formal registration will be described later.

This procedure enables the inventory agent to perform asset management more efficiently. For example, as shown by the dotted line frame 21, the inventory agent only needs to go to the client once.

In addition, for devices that have been omitted from registration (devices with unregistered device information), an additional registration code 16 is sent to the client later and attached to the unregistered device. Thus, the client can prevent the device from leaking from the inventory target.

Also, there is a difference between the presence / absence of the two-dimensional code 12a between the registered code 12 attached to the registered device and the unregistered code 14 attached to the unregistered device. Therefore, it is easy for the inventory agent and the client to distinguish the differences in appearance. That is, the inventory agent and the client can easily distinguish whether the device to be inventoried is registered in the information processing apparatus 1a by looking at the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14.

The configuration of the asset management system described above is a description of the main configuration in describing the features of the present embodiment, and is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, a plurality of tablet terminals 1e may exist.

In step S12, the additional registration code 16 is mailed. However, the additional registration code 16 may be sent to the client as electronic data by e-mail or the like. The client can acquire the additional registration code 16 by printing out the electronic data of the additional registration code 16 received from the inventory agent. Then, the client can paste the acquired additional registration code 16 on the color code 14 a of the unregistered code 14.

In step S14, the client performs inventory and official registration using the tablet terminal 1e of the inventory agent. However, the client may perform inventory and official registration using the tablet terminal owned by the client. . For example, the inventory and formal registration can be performed by installing the same program as the tablet terminal 1e in the tablet terminal owned by the client.

The above is an outline of the asset management system, and details will be made clear below.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the information processing apparatus. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the information processing apparatus 1 a includes a generation unit 31, a printing unit 32, a communication unit 33, and a storage unit 34.

The generation unit 31 generates data to be printed on the

mounts

11, 13, and 15. For example, the generation unit 31 refers to the asset list (see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit 34 and generates data of the registered code 12 having the two-dimensional code 12a, the color code 12b, and the code 12c. To do. The generation unit 31 refers to the asset list stored in the storage unit 34 and generates data of the unregistered code 14 having the color code 14a, the color code 14b, and the code 14c. The generation unit 31 refers to the asset list stored in the storage unit 34 and generates data of the additional registration code 16 having the two-dimensional code 16a and the code 16b.

The printing unit 32 outputs the print target data generated by the generation unit 31 to the printing apparatus 1c.

The communication unit 33 communicates with the terminal device 1b via the network 1d. The communication unit 33 communicates with the tablet terminal 1 e via the network 3.

The storage unit 34 stores an asset list.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an asset list stored in the storage unit. The asset list 41 shown in FIG. 5 is constructed in the storage unit 34 when device information is notified from the client in step S1 shown in FIG. 3, for example. Further, for example, in the asset list 41, when the inventory or formal registration of the asset is performed in steps S7 and S14 shown in FIG. 3, the information is changed or added. Further, for example, in the asset list 41, when device information of an unregistered device is received in step S9 shown in FIG. 3, the information is changed or added. Information is changed or added to the asset list 41 by, for example, the tablet terminal 1e or the terminal device 1b operated by an inventory agent or a client.

The asset list 41 includes a device information field 41a, a unique code field 41b, a status field 41c, an additional information field 41d, an inventory information field 41e, and a field 41f.

In the device information field 41a, device information of a device owned by the client is stored. The device information is attribute information such as a device model number, a manufacturing number, and a serial number, for example.

Unique identification information is stored in the unique code field 41b. The unique identification information is, for example, a serial number.

The device information notified from the client is stored in association with the unique code. For example, in step S1 shown in FIG. 3, the device information of the model number “AAA”, the production number “H123”, and the serial number “HISY01”, the model number “BBB”, the production number “H456”, and the serial number “HISY02” are sent from the client. ”And device information of the model number“ CCC ”, the manufacturing number“ H789 ”, and the serial number“ HISY04 ”are notified.

In this case, the device information having the model number “AAA” is associated with the unique code “00001” and registered, for example. The device information having the model number “BBB” is associated with the unique code “00002” and registered, for example. The device information having the model number “CCC” is associated with the unique code “00003” and registered, for example.

Note that the device information having the model number “DDD” shown in FIG. 5 is an example of device information that was initially unregistered (device information that was not notified from the client) and that was registered by the inventory agent. .

For example, the device information of the device having the model number “DDD” is not registered in the asset list 41 in the step S2 of FIG. In the device having the model number “DDD”, the unregistered code 14 is pasted in step S6 of FIG. 3, the device information is input by the stocktaking agent in step S8, and the device information field of the asset list 41 in step S9. 41a is registered.

Thus, the additionally registered device information is also registered in association with a unique unique code.

In the status field 41c, the device information registered in the asset list 41 and the status of the unique code are stored. There are three statuses: “print”, “official registration”, and “unofficial registration”. Hereinafter, three statuses will be described.

Print Status “Print” indicates that the registered code 12 having the corresponding unique code has been printed. Here, the two-dimensional code 12a (see FIG. 2) of the registered code 12 indicates device information registered in the asset list 41, and the color code 12b indicates a unique code associated with the device information.

For example, in step S2 of FIG. 3, device information of model number “AAA”, production number “H123”, serial number “HISY01”, device information of model number “BBB”, production number “H456”, and serial number “HISY02” , Device information of model number “CCC”, manufacturing number “H789”, and serial number “HISY03” is registered in the asset list 41. It is assumed that each piece of device information is registered in the asset list 41 in association with the unique codes “00001” to “00003”, and no device information is associated with the unique codes “00004” to “00006”.

In this case, in step S3, the two-dimensional code 12a indicating the device information of the model number “AAA”, the manufacturing number “H123”, and the serial number “HISY01”, the color code 12b indicating the unique code “00001”, and “00001” are set. A registered code 12 having a characterized code 12c is generated. In step S3, the two-dimensional code 12a indicating the device information of the model number “BBB”, the production number “H456”, and the serial number “HISY02”, the color code 12b indicating the unique code “00002”, and “00002” are characters. The registered code 12 having the converted code 12c is generated. In step S3, the two-dimensional code 12a indicating the device information of the model number “CCC”, the manufacturing number “H789”, and the serial number “HISY03”, the color code 12b indicating the unique code “00003”, and “00003” are characters. The registered code 12 having the converted code 12c is generated.

When the three registered codes 12 generated in step S3 are printed out in step S4, “print” is stored in the status field 41c corresponding to the unique codes “00001” to “00003”. The

Also, the status “print” indicates that an unregistered code 14 having a corresponding unique code has been printed. Here, the color code 14a (see FIG. 2) of the unregistered code 14 indicates that the two-dimensional code is not affixed to the unregistered code 14, and the color code 14b is a unique that is not associated with device information. Indicates the code.

For example, according to the above example, the device information is not associated with the unique codes “00004” to “00006”. In this case, in step S3, an unregistered code having a color code 14a indicating that a two-dimensional code is not affixed, a color code 14b indicating a unique code “00004”, and a code 14c characterizing “00004”. 14 is generated (note that the device information of the model number “DDD” in FIG. 5 indicates the information registered in step S9 and is not registered in the step S3). In step S3, an unregistered code 14 having a color code 14a indicating that a two-dimensional code is not attached, a color code 14b indicating a unique code “00005”, and a code 14c in which “00005” is characterized. Is generated. In step S3, the unregistered code 14 includes a color code 14a indicating that a two-dimensional code is not attached, a color code 14b indicating a unique code “00006”, and a code 14c in which “00006” is characterized. Is generated.

When the three unregistered codes 14 generated in step S3 are printed out in step S4, “print” is stored in the status field 41c corresponding to the unique codes “00004” to “00006”. The

In the above description, the three unregistered codes 14 having the unique codes “00004” to “00006” are generated and printed. However, the number is not limited to this. For example, the number of unregistered codes 14 is estimated based on the number of unregistered devices that are newly discovered during the inventory operation at the client destination (the number of device information that the client has not notified to the inventory agent). Decide. The unregistered code 14 is desirably generated and printed with a margin.

Further, the color code 14a indicating that the two-dimensional code is not attached has, for example, information of a system different from the color code 12b and the color code 14b indicating the unique code. For example, the color code 14a has a different number of digits from the unique code indicated by the color code 12b and the color code 14b, and has a specific number. For example, the color code 14a has information “99999999” which is an 8-digit number. In the example of FIG. 5, the number of digits of the unique code is “5”. By doing in this way, the tablet terminal 1e can recognize more rapidly that the two-dimensional code is not affixed.

Official Registration The status “official registration” indicates that the device information registered in the asset list 41 is officially registered.

For example, when the registered code 12 is attached to the client device by the stocktaking agent in step S6 in FIG. 3 and the tablet terminal 1e is photographed (inventory) in step S7, the photographed device is recorded. The status corresponding to the device information is “official registration”.

More specifically, it is assumed that the registered code 12 having the unique code “00001” is attached to the device of the model number “AAA” and photographed with the tablet terminal 1e. Further, it is assumed that the registered code 12 having the unique code “00002” is attached to the device of the model number “BBB” and photographed by the tablet terminal 1e. It is assumed that the registered code 12 having the unique code “00003” is attached to the device of the model number “CCC” and photographed with the tablet terminal 1e. In this case, the statuses corresponding to the unique codes “00001”, “00002”, and “00003” are changed from “print” to “official registration”.

Informal Registration The status “Informal Registration” indicates that the device information registered in the asset list 41 is not officially registered.

For example, in step S6 of FIG. 3, it is assumed that an unregistered device is found by an inventory agent and the unregistered code 14 having the color code 14b indicating the unique code “00004” is attached to the device. Assume that the device information of the device to which the unregistered code 14 is attached is the model number “DDD”, the manufacturing number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04”.

In this case, in step S9 of FIG. 3, the device information of the model number “DDD”, the production number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04” is registered in the asset list 41 in association with the unique code “00004”. Then, the tablet terminal 1 e changes the status corresponding to the unique code “00004” in the asset list 41 from “print” to “unofficial registration” in accordance with the operation of the inventory agent.

At this stage, the device having the model number “DDD” is in a state where the device information is simply registered in the asset list 41 and is not registered in the asset list 41 as an official asset (the status is “ Unofficial registration "). Hereinafter, an example from when the status changes from “unofficial registration” to “official registration” will be described.

In step S9, when device information is registered in the asset list 41, an additional registration code 16 is generated in step S10. Here, the two-dimensional code 16a (see FIG. 2) of the additional registration code 16 indicates the device information registered in step S9, and the code 16b indicates a unique code associated with the device information registered in step S9. Show.

For example, in the above example, the device information of the model number “DDD”, the production number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04” is registered in the asset list 41 in association with the unique code “00004”. Accordingly, the two-dimensional code 16a of the additional registration code 16 generated in step S10 indicates device information of the model number “DDD”, the manufacturing number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04”, and the code 16b indicates “00004”. .

The additional registration code 16 generated in step S10 is printed out by the printing apparatus 1c, sent to the client, and pasted on the color code 14a of the unregistered code 14 by the client so as to overlap (steps S11 to S11). S13). The client attaches the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14 having the same code 14c as the code 16b of the additional registration code 16.

For example, according to the above example, the additional registration code having the two-dimensional code 16a indicating the device information of the model number “DDD”, the manufacturing number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04” and the code 16b indicating the characters “00004”. 16 is affixed to the unregistered code 14 affixed to the device having the model number “DDD”, the production number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04”.

The unregistered code 14 with the additional registration code 16 attached is photographed (inventory) by the tablet terminal 1e (step S14 in FIG. 3). Then, the status of “unofficial registration” is changed to “official registration”.

For example, the status “unofficial registration” corresponding to the unique code “00004” in FIG. 5 is changed to “official registration”.

As described above, the device whose status is “unofficial registration” (the device to which the unregistered code 14 is pasted) has the additional registration code 16 pasted on the color code 14 a of the unregistered code 14 and is inventoried. As a result, the status is changed to “official registration”.

In the additional information field 41d, additional information of device information is stored. The additional information includes information on the installation location of the device, the “department” that uses the device, the “user” that uses the device, and the “lease term” of the device. The additional information is notified from the client or the inventory agent together with the device information.

Inventory information fields 41e and 41f store inventory results. The inventory information fields 41e and 41f are added every time inventory work is performed, for example, once every six months. The

fields

41e and 41f are added, for example, by an operation of an inventory agent or a client, or automatically when an inventory operation is performed. The inventory information includes information on “implementation date” for performing inventory, “implementation result” for inventory, “modification content” indicating the content when inventory content is modified, and “implementer” for performing inventory. In the “execution result” of the field 41e and the field 41f, for example, “OK” or “NG” inventory result information displayed on the display of the tablet terminal 1e in FIG. 2 is stored.

The inventory result of the device to which the unregistered code 14 is affixed (for example, the device whose inventory result is displayed as “incomplete” in the tablet terminal 1e in FIG. 2) is the “implementation result” in the

fields

41e and 41f of the inventory information. Is not reflected. In this case, the initial value information (for example, “−” in FIG. 5) remains stored in the “implementation result” field of the field 41e. The initial value indicates that the state is neither “printing”, “formal registration”, or “unofficial registration”, and is stored, for example, when the field 41e is generated and when the field 41f is generated Stored in

The correction contents of the inventory are stored in the “correction contents” column of the inventory information field 41e. For example, it is assumed that a device whose “installation location” is “Shinjuku” is inventoried at “head office”. In this case, in the “correction content” column of the field 41e, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, “installation location head office” is stored as the correction content.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of functional blocks of the tablet terminal. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the tablet terminal 1 e includes an imaging unit 51, an input unit 52, a detection unit 53, an update unit 54, a display unit 55, a communication unit 56, and a storage unit 57. Yes.

The photographing unit 51 photographs the registered code 12 or the unregistered code 14 attached to the client device or the device via the digital camera included in the tablet terminal 1e.

The input unit 52 receives, for example, information input from a touch panel provided in the tablet terminal 1e.

The detection unit 53 detects a color code (the color code 12b of the registered code 12, the color code 14a of the unregistered code 14, or the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14) from the image photographed by the photographing unit 51, Recognize the information they show. For example, the detection unit 53 specifies the position of the color code in the image by the cell in the leftmost column of the color code photographed by the photographing unit 51. For example, the detection unit 53 detects the color of each cell included in another cell group based on the color of each cell included in the cell group of the reference region in the top row of the color code, and detects the detected cell. Information indicated by the color code is recognized by the number of colors of each cell included in the group or a combination thereof. The “detection” of the detection unit 53 used below may include detection of a color code and recognition of information indicated by the color code.

Further, the detection unit 53 detects the two-dimensional code (two-dimensional code 12a of the registered code 12 or two-dimensional code 16a of the additional registration code 16) photographed by the photographing unit 51 and recognizes information indicated by them. For example, the detection unit 53 detects the position using a two-dimensional code marker imaged by the imaging unit 51. Then, the detection unit 53 recognizes information indicated by the two-dimensional code. “Detection” used below may include detection of a two-dimensional code and recognition of information indicated by the two-dimensional code.

The update unit 54 updates the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 57.

The display unit 55 displays a device or the like photographed by the photographing unit 51 or predetermined information on the display of the tablet terminal 1e.

The communication unit 56 communicates with the information processing apparatus 1a via the network 3.

The asset list 41 is stored in the storage unit 57. For example, when taking inventory at the client destination, the inventory agent downloads the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34 of the information processing apparatus 1a to the storage unit 57 of the tablet terminal 1e.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus 1a illustrated in FIG. 4 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 61, a memory 62, an auxiliary storage device 63 such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and a communication line as illustrated in FIG. This is realized by a computer 60 including a communication interface (I / F) 64 for connection and a media I / F 65 for reading and writing information on a portable storage medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk).

4 can be realized by loading a predetermined program such as an application program stored in the auxiliary storage device 63 into the memory 62 and executing it by the CPU 61, for example. Further, the storage unit 34 illustrated in FIG. 4 can be realized by the CPU 61 using the memory 62 or the auxiliary storage device 63, for example.

The above predetermined program may be downloaded from the network to the auxiliary storage device 63 via the communication I / F 64, and then loaded onto the memory 62 and executed by the CPU 61. Alternatively, it may be loaded directly from the network onto the memory 62 via the communication I / F 64 and executed by the CPU 61. Further, the computer 60 may load the predetermined program from the storage medium set in the media I / F 65 onto the auxiliary storage device 63 or the memory 62.

Note that the asset list 41 may be constructed in, for example, a storage connected to the network 1d or a storage device included in another server.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the tablet terminal. The tablet terminal 1e illustrated in FIG. 6 is connected to, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 71, a memory 72, an auxiliary storage device 73 such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and a communication line as illustrated in FIG. A computer 70 having a communication interface (I / F) 74, an input device 75 such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch sensor, and a touch panel, a display device 76 such as a liquid crystal display, and a photographing device 77 such as a digital camera. Realized.

6 can be realized by loading a predetermined program such as an application program stored in the auxiliary storage device 73 into the memory 72 and executing it by the CPU 71, for example. Further, the storage unit 57 illustrated in FIG. 6 can be realized by the CPU 71 using the memory 72 or the auxiliary storage device 73, for example.

The predetermined program may be downloaded from the network to the auxiliary storage device 73 via the communication I / F 74, and then loaded on the memory 72 and executed by the CPU 71. Alternatively, it may be loaded directly from the network onto the memory 72 via the communication I / F 74 and executed by the CPU 71. Further, the computer 70 may load the predetermined program on the auxiliary storage device 73 or the memory 72 from a storage medium set in the media I / F connected to the communication I / F 74.

The configurations of the information processing apparatus 1a and the tablet terminal 1e shown in FIG. 4 and FIGS. 6 to 8 are classified according to main processing contents in order to facilitate understanding. The present invention is not limited by the way of classification and names of the constituent elements. For example, the configurations of the information processing apparatus 1a and the tablet terminal 1e can be classified into more components according to the processing content. Moreover, it can also classify | categorize so that one component may perform more processes. The processing of each component may be executed by one hardware, or may be executed by a plurality of hardware. Further, the processing of each component may be realized by one program or may be realized by a plurality of programs. The terminal device 1b can also be realized by a personal computer or a computer 70.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of code generation and printing operation by the information processing apparatus. The flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is executed in response to an instruction from the inventory agent through the terminal device 1b, for example.

Note that the processing of the flowchart of FIG. 9 corresponds to the processing of steps S3 and S4 shown in FIG. In addition, it is assumed that device information is notified from the client, and the asset list 41 is stored in the storage unit 34.

The generation unit 31 generates a registered code 12 and an unregistered code 14 (step S21). For example, the generation unit 31 is a registration having the two-dimensional code 12a, the color code 12b, and the code 12c illustrated in FIG. 2 based on the device information and the unique code of the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34. A completed code 12 is generated. The generation unit 31 also uses the color code 14a, the color code 14b, and the code 14c illustrated in FIG. 2 based on the unique code that is not associated with the device information of the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34. To generate an unregistered code 14.

Note that the two-dimensional code 12 a of the registered code 12 indicates device information registered in the asset list 41. The color code 12 b indicates a unique code associated with the device information registered in the asset list 41. The code 12c is obtained by characterizing information (unique code) indicated by the color code 12b.

Further, the color code 14 a of the unregistered code 14 indicates that the additional registration code 16 is not pasted on the unregistered code 14. The color code 14b indicates a unique code that is not associated with device information.

Next, the printing unit 32 prints out the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 generated by the generating unit 31 in step S21 with the printing apparatus 1c (step S22). The registered code 12 is printed on the mount 11 shown in FIG. 2, for example. The unregistered code 14 is printed out, for example, on the mount 13 shown in FIG.

Here, an example of pasting of the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 by an inventory agent will be described.

The registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 (mounting sheets 11 and 13) printed out are brought into the client's office 2 by the inventory agent (for example, step S5 in FIG. 3). The registered code 12 is affixed to a device registered in the asset list 41 by an inventory agent, and the unregistered code 14 is affixed to a device not registered in the asset list 41 (for example, FIG. 3). Step S6).

The inventory agent downloads the asset list 41 from the information processing apparatus 1a to the tablet terminal 1e when pasting the registered code 12 on the client device. That is, the tablet terminal 1e downloads the asset list 41 from the information processing apparatus 1a according to the operation of the inventory agent.

The inventory agent inputs the device information of the device to which the registered code 12 is to be attached to the tablet terminal 1e. The tablet terminal 1e acquires a unique code corresponding to the input device information with reference to the asset list 41, and displays it on the display.

For example, it is assumed that the inventory agent wants to attach the registered code 12 to the device having the device information of the model number “AAA”, the production number “H123”, and the serial number “HISY01”. In this case, the stocktaking agent inputs the device information of the model number “AAA”, the production number “H123”, and the serial number “HISY01” to the tablet terminal 1e. The tablet terminal 1e refers to the asset list 41 based on the input device information and acquires a unique code. In the example of the asset list 41 in FIG. 5, the tablet terminal 1 e acquires the unique code “00001”.

The tablet terminal 1e displays the acquired unique code “00001” on the display. The inventory agent sees the unique code “00001” displayed on the display, and affixes the registered code 12 having the code 12c of “00001” to the device.

On the other hand, if the device information received from the inventory agent is not registered in the asset list 41, the tablet terminal 1e displays that the input device information is not registered in the asset list 41.

For example, in the asset list 41 shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that device information is not associated with the unique codes “00004” to “00006” (model number “DDD”, production number “HABC”, serial number in FIG. 5) The device information of the number “HISY04” is not registered in the field 41a). Then, it is assumed that the inventory agent wants to attach the registered code 12 to the device having the device information of the model number “DDD”, the production number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04”.

The stocktaking agent inputs the device information of the model number “DDD”, the production number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04” to the tablet terminal 1e. The tablet terminal 1e refers to the asset list 41 based on the input device information. However, in the case of the above-described asset list 41, the device information is not registered. In this case, the tablet terminal 1 e displays that the input device information is not registered in the asset list 41. Then, the stocktaking agent attaches an appropriate unregistered code 14 (for example, an unregistered code 14 having a code 14c of “00004”) to the device of the model number “DDD”.

In the above description, the inventory agent inputs the device information of the device to which the registered code 12 is to be attached to the tablet terminal 1e. However, the color code 12b of the registered code 12 may be photographed with a camera.

For example, the tablet terminal 1e refers to the asset list 41 based on the unique code indicated by the color code 12b photographed by the camera, and acquires device information to which the registered code 12 is pasted. And the tablet terminal 1e displays the acquired apparatus information on a display. Thereby, the inventory agent can know to which device the registered code 12 should be attached.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an operation example of accepting device information with an unregistered code pasted by a tablet terminal. The flowchart in FIG. 10 is executed, for example, when an unregistered code 14 is attached to a client device by an inventory agent. The process of the flowchart of FIG. 10 corresponds to the process of step S8 shown in FIG.

The input unit 52 receives the device information of the device to which the unregistered code 14 is attached and the code 14c of the unregistered code 14 attached to the device from the inventory agent (step S31).

For example, it is assumed that the inventory agent puts the unregistered code 14 on the device having the device information of the model number “DDD”, the production number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04”. It is assumed that the unregistered code 14 attached to the device has a color code 14b indicating a unique code “00004” and a code 14c indicating “00004”. In this case, the input unit 52 receives the device information of the model number “DDD”, the manufacturing number “HABC”, the serial number “HISY04”, and the unique code “00004”.

Next, the communication unit 56 transmits the device information received by the input unit 52 in step S32 and the unique code to the information processing apparatus 1a (step S32).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a registration operation example of device information to which an unregistered code is pasted by the information processing apparatus. The flowchart of FIG. 11 is executed when device information and a unique code are transmitted according to the flowchart of FIG. The process of the flowchart of FIG. 10 corresponds to the process of step S9 shown in FIG.

The communication unit 33 receives the device information and the unique code transmitted from the tablet terminal 1e (step S41).

Next, the communication unit 33 registers the device information and the unique code received in step S41 in the asset list 41 of the storage unit 34 (step S42).

For example, according to the example of FIG. 10, it is assumed that the communication unit 33 has received the device information of the model number “DDD”, the manufacturing number “HABC”, the serial number “HISY04”, and the unique code “00004” from the tablet terminal 1e. In this case, the communication unit 33 registers the device information of the model number “DDD”, the manufacturing number “HABC”, and the serial number “HISY04” in association with the unique code “00004” of the asset list 41. Then, the communication unit 33 changes the status of the unique code “00004” from “print” to “unofficial registration”. Thereby, the asset list 41 becomes, for example, the asset list 41 shown in FIG.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation example of generating an additional registration code by the information processing apparatus. The flowchart in FIG. 12 is executed according to an instruction from the inventory agent through the terminal device 1b, for example. The process of the flowchart of FIG. 12 corresponds to the processes of steps S10 and S11 shown in FIG.

The generating unit 31 refers to the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34 and generates the additional registration code 16 (step S51). The additional registration code 16 generated by the generation unit 31 includes a two-dimensional code 16a indicating the device information of the device to which the unregistered code 14 is attached. Further, the additional registration code 16 generated by the generation unit 31 includes a code 16b in which the unique code (unique code associated with the device information in the asset list 41) included in the unregistered code 14 is characterized. .

For example, according to the above example, the unregistered code 14 having the unique code “00004” is attached to the device of the model number “DDD”. The device information of the device with the model number “DDD” is stored in the asset list 41 in association with the unique code “00004”. In this case, the generation unit 31 includes a two-dimensional code 16a indicating device information of a model number “DDD”, a manufacturing number “HABC”, and a serial number “HISY04”, and a code 16b obtained by characterizing the unique code “00004”. A registration code 16 is generated.

Next, the printing unit 32 prints out the additional registration code 16 generated by the generation unit 31 in step S51 by the printing apparatus 1c (step S52). The additional registration code 16 is printed on the mount 15 shown in FIG. 2, for example.

Here, an example of attaching the additional registration code 16 by the client will be described.
The printed additional registration code 16 (mounting sheet 15) is mailed to the client by the inventory agent (for example, step S12 in FIG. 3). The additional registration code 16 is pasted on the color code 14a of the unregistered code 14 by the client so as to overlap (for example, step S13 in FIG. 3).

The additional registration code 16 mailed from the inventory agent has a code 16b. The client attaches the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14 having the same code 14c as the code 16b.

For example, according to the above example, the additional registration code 16 includes a two-dimensional code 16a indicating a model number “DDD”, a manufacturing number “HABC”, and a serial number “HISY04”, and a code 16b indicating a unique code “00004”. is doing. Therefore, the client attaches the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14 having the code 14c indicating the unique code “00004”. That is, the client attaches the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14 attached to the device of the model number “DDD”.

The client pastes the additional registration code 16 on the color code 14a so that the color code 14a indicating that the additional registration code 16 is not pasted is hidden. Thereby, even if the tablet terminal 1e captures the unregistered code 14, it is not detected as the unregistered code 14. That is, the tablet terminal 1e detects the unregistered code 14 as a code to be determined for inventory.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an operation example of inventory and formal registration by the tablet terminal. The flowchart in FIG. 13 is executed, for example, when an asset management icon displayed on the display of the tablet terminal 1e is tapped. The process of the flowchart of FIG. 13 corresponds to the process of step S7 shown in FIG.

The input unit 52 receives information on the inventory location and the implementer (step S61).

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for receiving the inventory location of the tablet terminal and information on the practitioner. For example, when the asset management icon displayed on the display is tapped, the display unit 55 displays the screen illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, a selection area 81, a name input area 82, and a start button 83 are displayed on the display of the tablet terminal 1e.

The selection area 81 is, for example, a pull-down method, and a plurality of inventory bases are registered. For example, in the selection area 81, the location of the client's office such as “Headquarters” or “Shinjuku” is registered. The input unit 52 of the tablet terminal 1e accepts the inventory base selected in the selection area 81 as an inventory location.

In the name input area 82, the name of the person who implements the inventory is input. The input unit 52 of the tablet terminal 1e accepts the name input in the name input area 82 as a stocktaking person.

The start button 83 is a button for proceeding to the menu screen. When the start button 83 is tapped, the display unit 55 proceeds to a menu screen described below.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a menu screen of the tablet terminal. For example, when the start button 83 illustrated in FIG. 14 is tapped, the display unit 55 displays the screen illustrated in FIG. Buttons 91, an inventory button 92, and a QR pasting button 93 are displayed on the display of the tablet terminal 1e.

The buttons 91 include an acceptance button, a take-out button, a return button, and an acceptance button. When any button is tapped, the display unit 55 proceeds to a screen corresponding to each function.

The inventory button 92 is a button for performing inventory. When the inventory button 92 is tapped, the tablet terminal 1e proceeds to a screen for performing inventory and starts an inventory process.

The QR pasting button 93 will be described in the third embodiment.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the input unit 52 receives an inventory button from the inventory executor (step S62). For example, the input unit 52 accepts pressing of the inventory button 92 shown in FIG. 15 by the tap operation of the inventory executor.

Next, when the input unit 52 accepts the depression of the inventory button 92 in step S62, the communication unit 56 requests the information processing apparatus 1a to transmit the asset list 41 (step S63). When the information processing apparatus 1a receives a transmission request for the asset list 41 from the tablet terminal 1e, the information processing apparatus 1a transmits the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34 to the tablet terminal 1e.

Next, the communication unit 56 receives the asset list 41 from the information processing apparatus 1a (step S64). The communication unit 56 stores the received asset list 41 in the storage unit 57.

When the asset list 41 is stored in the storage unit 57, the input unit 52 stores the name of the implementer accepted in step S61 in the “implementer” field 41e of the asset list 41.

Next, the detection unit 53 detects the color code affixed to the device photographed by the photographing unit 51 (step S65). The detection unit 53 detects whether the color code photographed by the photographing unit 51 is the color code 12b of the registered code 12 or the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14.

For example, the color code 14a has information of a system different from the color code 12b and the color code 14b as described above. Thereby, the detection part 53 can distinguish and detect the color code 12b and the color code 14b, and the color code 14a.

When detecting the color code 12b or the color code 14b, the detecting unit 53 detects the longitudinal direction of the detected color code. For example, the color code has a specific cell in the leftmost column as described above, and the detection unit 53 can detect the longitudinal direction of the detected color code based on the specific cell.

When detecting the longitudinal direction of the detected color code, the detecting unit 53 determines whether or not the color code 14a exists within one predetermined range at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The detection unit 53 determines that the detected color code is the color code 14b when the color code 14a exists within one predetermined range at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the detected color code. On the other hand, when the color code 14a does not exist within one predetermined range at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the detected color code 12b and the color code 14b, the detection unit 53 determines that the detected color code is the color code 12b.

In this way, the detection unit 53 determines whether the color code photographed by the photographing unit 51 is the color code 12b of the registered code 12 or the color code 14a and the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14. It can be detected separately.

Alternatively, markers may be provided at the four corners of the unregistered code 14. For example, if the detection unit 53 includes two color codes in a rectangular shape obtained by connecting the markers (that is, if the color code 14a and the color code 14b are included), the two colors are detected. The codes are detected as the color code 14a and the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14.

Also by this, the detection unit 53 can detect whether the detected color code is the color code 12b of the registered code 12 or the color code 14a and the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14. .

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the detection unit 53 matches the color code 12b of the registered code 12 detected in step S65 with the asset list 41 received in step S64 (step S66).

For example, the detection unit 53 refers to the asset list 41 based on the color code 12b detected in step S65, and acquires the “installation location” information in the field 41d. The detection unit 53 compares the “installation location” acquired from the asset list 41 with the “inventory implementation location” input in step S61. If the “installation location” acquired from the asset list 41 matches the “inventory location” input in step S61, the detection unit 53 identifies the device to which the registered code 12 having the color code 12b is attached. , “OK” is determined. That is, it can be said that the detection unit 53 determines that the device is a regular asset.

On the other hand, if the “installation location” acquired from the asset list 41 does not match the “inventory location” input in step S61, the detection unit 53 attaches the registered code 12 having the color code 12b. The device determined to be “NG”. That is, it can be said that the detection unit 53 determines that the device is not a device that should exist in the business office 2 and is an unauthorized asset.

More specifically, it is assumed that the office 2 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is the head office of the client, and inventory is performed at the head office. In this case, in step S61, “Headquarters” is input as the inventory location.

Next, it is assumed that the detection unit 53 detects the color code 12b indicating the unique code “00002”. In this case, according to the example of the asset list 41 in FIG. 5, the detection unit 53 acquires “Shinjuku” from “installation location” in the field 41 d.

In the above example, the inventory location “Headquarters” and the device installation location “Shinjuku” do not match. Therefore, the detection unit 53 determines that the device to which the color code 12b indicating the unique code “00002” is attached is not a regular asset at the head office.

Note that the inventory taker can use the tablet terminal 1e to add information about a device that is determined not to be a regular asset to the asset list 41. For example, the tablet terminal 1e can accept the input of information from the inventory taker and add the device information as shown in “Modification” in the field 41e.

Next, the display unit 55 displays the inventory result on the display of the tablet terminal 1e based on the detection result of the detection unit 53 in step S65 (step S67).

For example, when the color code 12b is detected by the detection unit 53 and is determined to be a regular asset, the display unit 55 displays “OK” in the vicinity of the color code 12b detected by the detection unit 53. The display unit 55 displays “NG” in the vicinity of the color code 12b detected by the detection unit 53 when the detection unit 53 detects the color code 12b and determines that the color code 12b is not a regular asset. Further, when the detection unit 53 detects the color code 14a and the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14, the display unit 55 displays “incomplete” in the vicinity of the color code 14a or the color code 14b.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the inventory screen of the tablet terminal. The inventory screen shown in FIG. 16 is displayed when the inventory button 92 shown in FIG. 15 is tapped and the client device is photographed by the camera.

Terminals 101a to 101d indicate devices photographed by the camera of the tablet terminal 1e. In the vicinity of the terminals 101a to 101d, inventory results “OK”, “NG”, and “incomplete” are displayed.

The inventory result 102 indicates the asset number and the inventory result. The asset number indicates a unique code assigned to the terminals 101a to 101d. That is, the asset number indicates a unique code indicated by the color code 12b and the color code 14b included in the registered code 12 and the unregistered code 14 attached to the terminals 101a to 101d. The inventory result is displayed on the right side of the asset number.

The end button 103 is a button for ending inventory. When the end button 103 is tapped, the tablet terminal 1e ends the inventory.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the update unit 54 updates the asset list 41 received in step S64 (step S68). For example, the update unit 54 updates the “implementation result” in the field 41e corresponding to the device (unique code) for which the inventory result is determined to be “OK” to “OK”. Further, the updating unit 54 updates the “implementation result” in the field 41e corresponding to the device for which the inventory result is determined to be “NG” to “NG”.

In addition, when the status of the field 41c corresponding to the device whose inventory result is determined to be “OK” is “printing”, the updating unit 54 updates it to “official registration”. Further, when the status of the field 41c corresponding to the device for which the inventory result is determined to be “NG” is “print”, the update unit 54 updates to “official registration”.

That is, in the field 41b of the asset list 41, information indicating whether or not the device of the device information notified from the client is officially registered in the asset list 41 with the registered code 12 attached to the device of the client. Is stored. For example, even if a device that should originally be in Shinjuku is located at the headquarters, such as the device with the model number “BBB” in FIG. 5 (even if the detection unit 53 determines “NG”), Is the client's asset. Therefore, the registered code 12 is affixed to the device of the model number “BBB”, and “official registration” is stored in the status field 41c.

Note that the updating unit 54 does not update the “implementation result” in the field 41e corresponding to the device for which the inventory result is determined to be “incomplete”.

The update unit 54 also determines that the device whose status is “unofficial registration” is determined to be “OK” or “NG” by the detection unit 53 (that is, the additional registration code 16 is pasted on the unregistered code 14). The status is updated to “official registration”. That is, the device for which the additional registration code 16 is pasted on the unregistered code 14 and the inventory is judged is registered as an official asset of the client.

Next, the detection unit 53 determines whether or not the end button has been tapped via the input unit 52 (step S69). For example, the detection unit 53 determines whether or not the end button 103 illustrated in FIG. 16 has been tapped. When the end button 103 is tapped, the detection unit 53 proceeds to the process of step S70. If the end button 103 is not tapped, the detection unit 53 proceeds to the process of step S65.

Next, the communication unit 56 transmits the asset list 41 updated by the update unit 54 in step S68 to the information processing apparatus 1a (step S70).

Even when the client performs inventory, the tablet terminal 1e performs the same processing as the flowchart of FIG. For example, in step S14 illustrated in FIG. 3, even when the client performs inventory, the tablet terminal 1e performs the same processing as the flowchart of FIG. However, when the client performs inventory, the device to which the unregistered code 14 to which the additional registration code 16 is attached is also subject to inventory.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of an update operation of the asset list 41 by the information processing apparatus.

The communication unit 33 receives an asset list transmission request from the tablet terminal 1e (step S81). The asset list transmission request from the tablet terminal 1e is transmitted by the process of step S63 in FIG.

Next, the communication unit 33 transmits the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34 to the tablet terminal 1e (step S82).

Next, the communication unit 33 receives the updated asset list 41 from the tablet terminal 1e (step S83). The asset list 41 from the tablet terminal 1e is transmitted by the process of step S70 in FIG.

Next, the communication unit 33 stores the asset list 41 received in step S83 in the storage unit 34 (step S84). Thereby, the storage unit 34 stores the asset list 41 updated by the tablet terminal 1e.

With the asset management system described above, the inventory agent can perform more efficient asset management work. For example, the inventory agent only needs to visit the client once.

In addition, for devices that have been omitted from registration (devices for which device information is not registered), an inventory agent attaches an unregistered code 14 to the device, and later sends an additional registration code 16 to the client. Then, the additional registration code 16 is attached to the unregistered code 14 of the unregistered device by the client. Thus, the client can prevent the device from leaking from the inventory target.

Further, the client looks at the unregistered code 14 to which the additional registration code 16 is not pasted or looks at the display of “incomplete” displayed on the tablet terminal 1e to prevent omission of the additional registration code 16 from pasting. can do.

Also, the asset status is stored in the field 41c of the asset list 41. Thereby, for example, the stocktaking agent can instruct the client to attach the additional registration code 16 to the device whose status is “unofficial registration”. Alternatively, for example, the information processing apparatus 1a periodically monitors the field 41c, and if there is a status of “informal registration”, the information processing apparatus 1a includes information indicating that the additional registration code 16 is instructed together with the corresponding device information. , It may be automatically transmitted to the terminal device of the client.

The above is intended to exemplify the gist and scope of the present invention, and is not limited to the above range. Many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

For example, in the above description, the tablet terminal 1e is used when the registered code 12 is attached to the device. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the registered code 12 may have device information that has been converted to a character instead of or in addition to the code 12c that has converted the unique code into a character. The inventory agent can see which device information should be pasted by looking at the device information that has been converted to text.

In the above description, as described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, the device information to which the unregistered code 14 is attached is input to the tablet terminal 1 e and registered in the asset list 41. Absent. For example, the stocktaking agent records the device information with the unregistered code 14 and the unique code of the unregistered code 14 in a memo, etc., and uses the terminal device 1b of the business office 1 to correspond the device information to the unique code. In addition, the asset list 41 may be registered.

In the above description, the tablet terminal 1e receives and updates the asset list 41 from the information processing apparatus 1a and transmits the updated asset list 41 to the information processing apparatus 1a. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the tablet terminal 1e may receive and update only the necessary information of the asset list 41 from the information processing device 1a sequentially, and sequentially transmit the updated information to the information processing device 1a.

Further, the tablet terminal 1e may receive the asset list 41 from the information processing apparatus 1a at any time. Thereby, the inventory agent or the client can refer to the asset list 41 at any time using the tablet terminal 1e.

In the above description, the code 12c, the code 14c, and the code 16b are obtained by characterizing the information indicated by the unique code. However, the asset number assigned to the asset may be characterized. For example, the unique code is associated with an asset number, which is a system separately defined for asset management. Specifically, the asset number is associated with the unique code shown in the field 41b of FIG. The code 12c, the code 14c, and the code 16b may be characters obtained by characterizing the asset number assigned to the unique code.

Further, in the above, when the inventory agent attaches the registered code 12 to the device, for example, the tablet terminal 1e receives the “device information” of the device from the inventory agent and attaches the registered code 12 to the device. Although the “unique code” is displayed on the display, the above “asset number” may be displayed on the display. Thereby, the inventory agent can attach the registered code 12 having the code 12c indicating the “asset number” displayed on the display to the device.

Also, for example, the “asset number” shown in FIGS. 16 and 20 may indicate an asset number assigned to the unique code.

In the above description, the update unit 54 does not update the “implementation result” in the field 41e corresponding to the device for which the inventory result is determined to be “incomplete”. However, for example, “device information” is unofficially registered. For “device” (for example, device information registered in step S9 in FIG. 2), an “OK” or “NG” inventory result (for example, an inventory result of inventory performed in step S14 in FIG. 2) ) May be stored in the “execution result” field of the field 41e. Then, the update unit 54 responds, for example, to the “correction content” column of the field 41e, for example, “formal registration required” in response to an operation by the client received by the input unit 52 or automatically. Information indicating that formal registration is necessary may be stored for the device having the device information. Thereby, for example, the inventory agent can print the additional registration code 16 again, mail it to the client, and instruct the client to perform the inventory work. The detection unit 53 detects the color code 14b in the same manner as the color code 12b in step S66 of FIG. 13, and performs a matching process.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As described in the first embodiment, the additional registration code 16 is affixed on the color code 14 a of the unregistered code 14. At this time, the additional registration code 16 may be affixed on the color code 14a of another unregistered code 14. For example, the additional registration code 16 may be erroneously attached to the unregistered code 14 having a code 14c different from the code 16b. In the second embodiment, the tablet terminal 1e performs an inventory and also checks whether the additional registration code 16 is pasted incorrectly.

FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the tablet terminal according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 18, the same components as those in FIG. Below, a different part from FIG. 6 is demonstrated.

The detecting unit 111 detects the two-dimensional code 16a of the unregistered code 14 to which the additional registration code 16 is attached. The detection unit 111 is the same as the detection unit 53 in other functions.

The acquiring unit 112 acquires device information corresponding to the color code 12b detected by the detecting unit 111 from the asset list 41. In addition, the acquisition unit 112 acquires, from the asset list 41, device information corresponding to the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14 to which the additional registration code 16 is attached, which is detected by the detection unit 111.

The comparison unit 113 compares the device information acquired by the acquisition unit 112 with the device information indicated by the two-

dimensional codes

12a and 16a detected by the detection unit 111.

The display unit 114 displays the comparison result of the comparison unit 113 on the display together with the devices to be inventoried. The display unit 114 is the same as the display unit 55 in other functions.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an operation example of inventory and formal registration by the tablet terminal. The flowchart in FIG. 19 shows the inventory process performed in step S14 in FIG. That is, the flowchart of FIG. 19 shows an inventory process performed after the additional registration code 16 is attached to the unregistered code 14.

The flowchart of FIG. 19 shows only the parts different from the flowchart of FIG. For example, the flowchart of FIG. 19 executes the processing of steps S61 to S64 of FIG. 13, and then executes the processing of step S91. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 19, after executing the process of step S96, the processes of steps S69 and S70 of FIG. 13 are executed.

The detecting unit 111 detects the two-dimensional code and the color code attached to the device displayed by the camera (step S91).

The detection unit 111 cannot distinguish and detect the color code 12b of the registered code 12 and the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14 to which the additional registration code 16 is attached. This is because the unregistered code 14 is attached to the additional registration code 16 on the color code 14a for distinguishing the color code 12b from the color code 14b, and the color code 14a is not photographed. For this reason, the detection unit 111 detects a color code and a two-dimensional code attached to all devices displayed by the camera.

Next, the acquisition unit 112 acquires device information corresponding to the color code detected by the detection unit 111 in step S91 with reference to the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 57 (step S92).

Next, the comparison unit 113 compares the device information indicated by the two-dimensional code detected by the detection unit 111 in step S91 with the device information acquired by the acquisition unit 112 with reference to the asset list 41 in step S92 (step S92). S93).

Here, the comparison unit 113 matches the device information indicated by the two-dimensional code detected by the detection unit 111 in step S91 with the device information acquired by the acquisition unit 112 referring to the asset list 41 in step S92. For example, it can be determined that an appropriate additional registration code 16 is attached to the unregistered code 14. On the other hand, the comparison unit 113 must match the device information indicated by the two-dimensional code 16a detected by the detection unit 111 in step S91 with the device information acquired by the acquisition unit 112 referring to the asset list 41 in step S92. For example, it can be determined that the wrong additional registration code 16 is attached to the unregistered code 14.

The device information indicated by the two-dimensional code 12a of the registered code 12 detected by the detection unit 111 and the device information acquired by the acquisition unit 112 with reference to the asset list 41 are associated in step S2 of FIG. It is registered and it is judged that they are consistent.

Next, the detection unit 111 matches the color code 12b and the color code 14b of the registered code 12 detected in step S91 with the asset list 41 received in step S64 of FIG. 13 (step S94). This step is the same processing as step S66 of FIG.

Next, the display unit 114 displays the inventory result on the display of the tablet terminal 1e based on the detection result of the detection unit 111 in step S94 (step S95). Moreover, the display part 114 displays the sticking result of the additional registration code 16 on the display of the tablet terminal 1e based on the comparison result of the comparison part 113 in step S93 (step S95). In addition, since the display of the inventory result based on the detection result of the detection part 111 is the same as that of FIG.13 S67, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of the inventory screen of the tablet terminal. 20, the same components as those in FIG. 16 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Below, a different part from FIG. 16 is demonstrated.

Terminals

121 and 122 indicate devices photographed by the camera of the tablet terminal 1e. In the vicinity of the

terminals

121 and 122, a “pasting error” indicating the comparison result of the comparison unit 113 is displayed. “Paste error” indicates that there is a mistake in pasting the additional registration code 16.

In the case of the example in FIG. 20, there is a possibility that the additional registration code 16 to be pasted on the unregistered code 14 pasted on the terminal 122 may be pasted on the unregistered code 14 pasted on the terminal 121. Further, there is a possibility that the additional registration code 16 to be pasted on the unregistered code 14 pasted on the terminal 121 is pasted on the unregistered code 14 pasted on the terminal 122.

When there is no mistake in pasting the additional registration code 16 on the unregistered code 14 of the

terminals

121 and 122, for example, “OK”, “NG”, or “incomplete” is displayed near the

terminals

121 and 122. The inventory result will be displayed.

The inventory result 123 indicates the asset number, the inventory result, and the pasting error of the additional registration code 16. The asset number indicates a unique code assigned to the terminals 101a to 101d, 121, and 122. On the right side of the asset number, an inventory result of “OK”, “NG”, and “incomplete” and a comparison result of “pasting error” are displayed.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the update unit 54 updates the received asset list 41 (step S96). The operation of the updating unit 54 is the same as that in step S68 in FIG.

Thus, the accuracy of inventory can be improved by displaying the pasting result of the additional registration code 16 at the time of inventory of the client. For example, when a mistake in pasting (addition error) of the additional registration code 16 is found, the client can re-paste the additional registration code 16 into an appropriate unregistered code 14.

Note that the tablet terminal 1e performs the processing of steps S65 to S68 in FIG. 13 described in the first embodiment (for example, this processing is called an inventory mode M1) and step S91 described in the second embodiment. The setting of which of the processes of S96 (for example, this process is called an inventory mode M2) may be accepted from the client. For example, when receiving the setting of the inventory mode M1 from the client, the tablet terminal 1e displays the inventory result on the display as shown in FIG. When receiving the setting of the inventory mode M2 from the client, the tablet terminal 1e displays the inventory result and the pasting result of the additional registration code 16 on the display as shown in FIG.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, the client refers to the code 14 c and the code 16 b when attaching the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14. In the third embodiment, the client should attach the additional registration code 16 by photographing the two-dimensional code 16a of the additional registration code 16 with the tablet terminal 1e without referring to the code 14c and the code 16b. The unregistered code 14 can be known.

For example, the client images the two-dimensional code 16a included in the additional registration code 16 with the tablet terminal 1e. Thereafter, the client images the device with the tablet terminal 1e. If the unregistered code 14 to which the previously captured two-dimensional code 16a (additional registration code 16) is pasted is attached to the device photographed by the tablet terminal 1e, the tablet terminal 1e will be added to the unregistered code 14 of the device. And instructing that the additional registration code 16 be pasted.

FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the tablet terminal according to the third embodiment. In FIG. 21, the same components as those in FIG. Below, a different part from FIG. 21 is demonstrated.

The detecting unit 131 detects the two-dimensional code 16a of the additional registration code 16. The detection unit 131 is the same as the detection unit 53 in other functions.

The acquisition unit 132 refers to the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 57 based on the device information indicated by the two-dimensional code 16a detected by the detection unit 131, and acquires the corresponding unique code.

In the asset photographed by the camera, the display unit 133 indicates that the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14 detected by the detecting unit 131 indicates the unique code acquired by the acquiring unit 132. The additional registration code 16 is displayed on the display in the vicinity.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an operation example of an additional registration code pasting instruction by the tablet terminal. The flowchart in FIG. 22 is executed, for example, when the additional registration code 16 in step S13 described in FIG. 3 is pasted, and the process is performed when the QR pasting button 93 shown in FIG. 15 is tapped by the client. .

The communication unit 56 makes a transmission request for the asset list 41 to the information processing apparatus 1a (step S101). When the information processing apparatus 1a receives a transmission request for the asset list 41 from the tablet terminal 1e, the information processing apparatus 1a transmits the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 34 to the tablet terminal 1e.

Next, the communication unit 56 receives the asset list 41 from the information processing apparatus 1a (step S102). The communication unit 56 stores the received asset list 41 in the storage unit 57.

Next, the detection unit 131 detects the two-dimensional code 16a of the additional registration code 16 (step S103). The two-dimensional code 16a is a code before the additional registration code 16 is attached to the unregistered code 14.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for detecting a two-dimensional code. For example, when the QR pasting button 93 illustrated in FIG. 15 is tapped, the display unit 133 displays the screen illustrated in FIG. 23 on the display.

FIG. 23 shows a frame 141. The frame 141 is a frame for the detection unit 131 to detect the two-dimensional code 16a (QR code) of the additional registration code 16. When the client images the two-dimensional code 16a so as to fit in the frame 141, the detection unit 131 detects the two-dimensional code 16a in the frame 141.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the acquisition unit 132 refers to the asset list 41 stored in the storage unit 57 based on the device information indicated by the two-dimensional code 16a detected by the detection unit 131 in step S103, and acquires the corresponding unique code. (Step S104).

Next, the detection unit 131 detects the color code 14b of the unregistered code 14 affixed to the device photographed by the camera (step S105).

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a screen before photographing a color code. For example, when the two-dimensional code 16a is detected by the detection unit 131 in the screen example of FIG. 23, the display unit 133 displays the screen of FIG. 24 on the display.

FIG. 24 shows a start button 142. When the start button 142 shown in FIG. 24 is tapped, the detection unit 131 starts detecting the color code 14b photographed by the camera.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the display unit 133 determines whether or not the unique code acquired in step S104 matches the unique code indicated by the color code detected in step S105 (step S106). That is, the display unit 133 determines whether or not a device having device information indicated by the captured two-dimensional code 16a is captured by the camera.

When the unique code acquired in step S104 matches the unique code indicated by the color code detected in step S105, the display unit 133 proceeds to step S107. If the unique code acquired in step S104 does not match the unique code indicated by the color code detected in step S105, the display unit 133 proceeds to step S108.

Next, the display unit 133 displays in the vicinity of the device to which the unregistered code 14 having the color code 14b detected by the detection unit 131 in step S105 is attached, indicating that the device is a target device for the additional registration code 16. (Step S107).

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of a screen instructing a pasting target device. For example, when the start button 142 in FIG. 24 is tapped and displayed when the device is photographed by the camera, the display unit 133 displays the screen example in FIG. 25 on the display.

FIG. 25 shows the devices 143a to 143e projected by the camera. In the vicinity of the device (in the vicinity of the unregistered code 14), for example, a device to which the two-dimensional code 16a photographed in FIG. For example, “circle” shown in FIG. 25 indicates a device to which the two-dimensional code 16a is to be attached, and “X” indicates a device to which the two-dimensional code 16a is not to be attached.

Thus, for example, it is understood that the client only has to add the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14 of the device on which “circle” is displayed.

When the device to which the two-dimensional code 16a is to be pasted is not displayed on the display of the tablet terminal 1e, for example, the client changes the shooting direction of the camera of the tablet terminal 1e and the device to which the other two-dimensional code 16a is to be pasted. Search for.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the detection unit 131 determines whether or not the end button has been tapped (step S108). For example, the detection unit 131 determines whether or not the end button 144 illustrated in FIG. 25 has been tapped. When the end button 144 is tapped, the detection unit 131 ends the process of the flowchart of FIG. If the end button 144 is not tapped, the detection unit 131 proceeds to the process of step S105.

As described above, the tablet terminal 1 e indicates the device to which the additional registration code 16 is to be pasted (the device to which the unregistered code 14 is pasted), so that the client can easily change the additional registration code 16 to the unregistered code 14. Can be affixed. In addition, it is possible to prevent a mistake in pasting the additional registration code 16 of the client.

In addition, in the said 1st Embodiment to 3rd Embodiment, although the equipment inventory was demonstrated to the example, it is not restricted to this. The present invention can also be applied to inventory of other items such as desks and stationery possessed by clients. Further, the present invention is not limited to inventory, and can be applied to management of an object that a user wants to manage.
