Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a laundry management system is exemplified.

[0017] (Configuration) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the laundry management system 1.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the laundry management system 1 includes a camera 11, a barcode reader 12, an input terminal 13, and a processing device 20. Here, the camera 11, the barcode reader 12, the input terminal 13, and the processing device 20 are communicable with each other via a communication means NW. The communication means NW is a communication network such as a wired or wirelessly connectable LAN or an Internet line.

[0019] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an arrangement example of each component of the laundry management system 1.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the camera 11, the barcode reader 12, and the input terminal 13 are arranged on a table 100 for checking laundry items. The camera 11 is attached above the table 100 and can photograph the entire upper surface of the table 100. The placement location of the processing device 20 may be the table 100 or another location. The processing device 20 is, for example, a personal computer. Also, the input terminal 13 is a portable terminal, for example, a tablet terminal.

[0021] In this laundry management system 1, a laundry net 120 containing one or more items of clothing 110 belonging to an individual user is placed on a desk. The barcode 121 attached to the laundry net 120 is then read by the worker using a barcode reader 12. The worker then removes the clothing 110 from the laundry net 120, checks its type and condition, and inputs this information into an input terminal 13. For example, the input terminal 13 displays the types and conditions of clothing 110 for selection, and the worker selects the type of clothing 110 removed from the laundry net 120 and inputs it into the terminal. At this time, a camera 11 captures video of the clothing 110 that has been removed from the laundry net 120 by the worker, spread out on the desk 100, and whose type and condition are being checked. The video data from the camera 11, the barcode reader 12, and the information from the input terminal 13 are then transmitted to the processing unit 20 via a communication network (NW).

[0022] In this embodiment, we will explain an example in which a user is in a facility such as a hospital, and the clothing 110 entrusted to us by that user is washed in a dedicated laundry facility. Therefore, the laundry management system 1 is installed in the dedicated laundry facility.

[0023] Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the processing unit 20.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the processing unit 20 includes a communication unit 21, an operation unit 22, a display unit 23, a storage unit 30, and a processing unit 40. Here, the communication unit 21 communicates with other devices such as the camera 11 via a communication means NW. The operation unit 22 is a touch panel, mouse, keyboard, etc., operated by the user to input data. The display unit 23 is a touch panel, monitor, etc. The storage unit 30 is an HDD, etc., which stores various data and various programs. The processing unit 40 executes various processes in the processing unit 20. The processing unit 40 includes, for example, a microcomputer and its peripheral circuits, and is composed of, for example, a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc. The processing unit 40 executes various processes according to the various data and various programs 30a stored in the storage unit 30 as needed.

[0025] Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the database stored in the memory unit 30.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4, the storage unit 30 stores a system information database 31, a registration information database 32, an input information database 33, and an input video database 34.

[0027] Figure 5 shows an example of the system information database 31.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5, the system information database 31 contains various system-related information such as the reader ID, camera ID, and input terminal ID, and this information is associated with each other. Here, the reader ID is the identification information of the barcode reader 12. The camera ID is the identification information of the camera 11. The input terminal ID is the identification information of the input terminal 13. The identification information of the barcode reader 12, camera 11, and input terminal 13, which are located on the same desk, are associated with each other in this system information database 31. In other words, the barcode reader 12, camera 11, and input terminal 13, which are located on the same desk, are linked in this system information database 31.

[0029] Figure 6 shows an example of the registration information database 32.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6, the registration information database 32 includes various user-related information such as user ID, barcode information, user name, user contact information, and the name of the facility where the user resides, and this information is associated with each other. Here, the user ID is the user's identification information. The barcode information is the barcode information assigned to the user. This barcode is the barcode 121 attached to the laundry net 120 in which the user places their clothes 110.

[0031] Figure 7 shows an example of the input information database 33.

[0032] As shown in Figure 7, the input information database 33 includes information related to the information entered from the barcode reader 12 and the input terminal 13, such as the reader ID, barcode information, reading date and time, and clothing information, and this information is associated with each other. Here, the reading date and time is the date and time (for example, date, hour, minute, second) when the barcode 121 of the laundry net 120 was read. The clothing information is information such as the type and condition of the clothing entered from the input terminal 13.

[0033] Figure 8 shows an example of the input video database 34.

[0034] As shown in Figure 8, the input video database 34 includes various information related to video data, such as video ID, camera ID, and video data, and this information is associated with each other. Here, the video ID is the identification information for the video. The video data is the video data captured by camera 11 with camera ID. The date and time of capture are attached to this video data. In other words, the video data allows for the identification of the video at the time of capture within the video data.

[0035] Figure 9 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the processing unit 40.

[0036] As shown in Figure 9, the processing unit 40 includes a user information registration processing unit 41, an input information registration processing unit 42, an input video registration processing unit 43, and a video output processing unit 44. Here, the user information registration processing unit 41 performs a user information registration process to register user information. For example, the user information registration processing unit 41 stores information about the user that is entered by the user through the operation unit 22 in the registration information database 32. The input information registration processing unit 42 performs an input information registration process to register input information from the barcode reader 12 and the input terminal 13. For example, the user information registration processing unit 41 stores the barcode information of the barcode read by the barcode reader 12, the date and time of reading, and the clothing information entered into the input terminal 13 in the input information database 33. The input video registration processing unit 43 performs an input video registration process to store video data obtained by the camera 11 in the input video database 34. The video output processing unit 44 performs a video output process to output the video specified by the user.

[0037] Figure 10 is a flowchart showing an example of video output processing.

[0038] As shown in Figure 10, first, as part of step S1, the video output processing unit 44 obtains various information from the input information database 33 as input information. For example, if the operation unit 22 is operated by a user and specific information is entered, the video output processing unit 44 obtains specific information from the input information database 33 based on that specific information. For example, if the user's name is entered as the specific information, the video output processing unit 44 obtains barcode information associated with the user's name in the registration information database 32, and obtains various information such as the reader ID and reading date and time corresponding to the obtained barcode information from the input information database 33.

[0039] In the subsequent step S2, the video output processing unit 44 retrieves video data from the input video database 34. Specifically, the video output processing unit 44 retrieves video data from the input video database 34 that corresponds to the input information obtained in step S1. For example, if the user's name is entered as the information to be identified in step S1, the video output processing unit 44 identifies the camera ID that is associated in the system information database 31 with the reader ID obtained as described above. Furthermore, the video output processing unit 44 identifies the video data that is associated in the input video database 34 with the identified camera ID and the reading date and time obtained as described above. Here, the video output processing unit 44 identifies the video data in which the reading date and time is included in the shooting date and time attached to the video data. In other words, the video output processing unit 44 identifies the video data from the input video database 34 using the camera ID and the reading date and time. As a result, video data captured by the camera 11 installed on the same desk as the barcode reader 12 is identified at the time the barcode reader 12 read the barcode 121 of the laundry net 120. For example, the identified video data is the video data from the moment the barcode reader 12 reads the barcode 121 of the laundry net 120 until the moment the barcode reader 12 reads the barcode 121 of the next laundry net 120.

[0040] In the subsequent step S3, the video output processing unit 44 creates a list of video data based on the various information in the input information database 33 acquired in step S1 and the video data acquired in step S2, and displays it on the display unit 23.

[0041] Figure 11 shows an example of a list of video data displayed on the display unit 23.

[0042] As shown in Figure 11, the display unit 23 displays the user's name, shooting date and time, and video icon as a list of video data. The video icon is an icon created from the video data acquired in step S3.

[0043] Here, the user's name and video data (video icon) are associated based on the date and time of filming. This video data includes footage of the worker taking clothes 110 out of the user's laundry net 120 and checking their type, etc., at the time of filming.

[0044] In the subsequent step S4, the video output processing unit 44 determines whether a video was selected from the video data list in step S3. Specifically, the video output processing unit 44 determines whether the operation unit 22 was operated and a video icon was selected from the video data list by the user. If the video output processing unit 44 determines that a video has been selected from the video data list, it proceeds to step S5.

[0045] As part of step S5, the video output processing unit 44 outputs the video data selected in step S4 to the display unit 23.

[0046] In the subsequent step S6, the video output processing unit 44 determines whether the processing has finished. For example, the video output processing unit 44 determines that the processing has finished when the operation unit 22 is operated and the user presses the exit button on the display screen shown in the aforementioned video data list. When the video output processing unit 44 determines that the processing has finished, it terminates the video output processing. On the other hand, when the video output processing unit 44 determines that the processing has not finished, it restarts from the processing in step S4.

[0047] As described above, through the video output processing, the video output processing unit 44 acquires various information from the input information database 33 as input information, and also acquires video data from the input video database 34. Then, based on the acquired information and data, the video output processing unit 44 creates a video data list and displays it on the display unit 23. When a video is selected from the video data list, it outputs that video to the display unit 23. The video output processing unit 44 outputs that video to the display unit 23 each time a video is selected from the video data list.

[0048] (action, action, etc.) Next, an example of the operation and function of the laundry management system 1 will be described. Figure 12 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of information and data in the laundry management system 1.

[0049] In the laundry management system 1, the camera 11, barcode reader 12, and input terminal 13, all located on the same desk, are managed in association with each other in the system information database 31 using their respective camera IDs, reader IDs, and input terminal IDs. This allows information obtained from each of the camera 11, barcode reader 12, and input terminal 13 located on the same desk to be managed in association with each other.

[0050] As shown in Figure 12, in this laundry management system 1, when a worker reads the barcode 121 on the laundry net 120, the barcode reader 12 transmits the barcode information of the read barcode 121, the date and time of reading, the reader ID, etc. to the processing unit 20. The camera 11 also photographs the situation when the worker removes clothes from the laundry net 120 and checks the type of clothing, etc., and transmits the captured video data, camera ID, etc. to the processing unit 20. The input terminal 13 also transmits clothing information such as the type of clothing entered by the worker, and the input terminal ID to the processing unit 20. Such operations by the worker using the barcode reader 12, etc., are performed before washing the clothes 110 or after washing the clothes 110.

[0051] In response to this, the user information registration processing unit 41 of the processing unit 40 of the processing unit 20 stores barcode information from the barcode reader 12, reading date and time information, clothing information from the input terminal 13, etc., in the input information database 33 of the storage unit 30. Also, the input video registration processing unit 43 of the processing unit 40 of the processing unit 20 stores video data from the camera 11, etc., in the input video database 34 of the storage unit 30.

[0052] Subsequently, in the laundry management system 1, upon instruction from a user such as an administrator, the video output processing unit 44 of the processing unit 40 of the processing unit 20 acquires various information from the input information database 33 and video data from the input video database 34. The video output processing unit 44 then creates a video data list based on the acquired information and data and displays it on the display unit 23. When a video is selected by the user from the video data list, the video is output to the display unit 23. The video output processing unit 44 outputs the video to the display unit 23 each time a video is selected from the video data list.

[0053] (Effects of this embodiment) (1) The laundry management system 1 stores and manages information on clothes to be washed that belong to different owners, as well as video footage of the condition of those clothes, in the storage unit 30. Based on the information in the laundry net 120, it can output video footage related to a specific owner from the video footage of the condition of clothes belonging to different owners. This allows, for example, the laundry business that washed the clothes and the owner of the clothes to check the condition of their clothes from the video footage. This allows, for example, the laundry business that washed the clothes and the owner of the clothes to check whether their clothes are included in the video footage and investigate the cause of the loss of their clothes. In this way, the laundry management system 1 can output video footage related to a specific owner, enabling more appropriate management of clothes to be washed.

[0054] (2) The laundry management system 1 can output captured images related to a specific owner as a video. This allows the laundry management system 1 to continuously capture the condition of the clothes and save them as video data.

[0055] (3) The laundry management system 1 can output images of clothing before and after washing, pertaining to a specific owner. This allows, for example, the laundry business that washed the clothes or the owner of the clothes to check the condition of the clothes before and after washing from the video.

[0056] (4) The laundry management system 1 can identify and output the captured image based on the owner information input from the operation unit 22.

[0057] (Modifications of this embodiment, etc.) As another example of the above embodiment, the laundry management system 1 can also save the captured images as still images instead of videos.

[0058] Furthermore, as another example of the above embodiment, the object to be cleaned may be something other than clothing.

[0059] Furthermore, as another example of the above embodiment, instead of the barcode reader 12 determining the reading date and time, the processing unit 20 can also determine the reading date and time. In this case, for example, the processing unit 20 uses the date and time when it receives barcode information from the barcode reader 12 as the reading date and time, and stores this reading date and time together with the barcode information in the input information database 33.

[0060] Furthermore, as another example of the above embodiment, in step S1, when the user's name and date (for example, the work date on which the clothing was checked) are entered, the video output processing unit 44 can obtain barcode information associated with the user's name from the registration information database 32 and determine whether there is information in the input information database 33 that associates the reader ID corresponding to the obtained barcode information with a reading date that matches the entered date. In this case, if the video output processing unit 44 determines that such information exists, it proceeds to the process in step S2 and identifies the camera ID associated with the obtained reader ID in the system information database 31. Furthermore, the video output processing unit 44 identifies the video data associated with the identified camera ID and the reading date and time obtained as described above in the input video database 34.

[0061] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the laundry management system 1 constitutes, for example, a washing target management system. The laundry net 120 constitutes, for example, a storage means. The barcode reader 12 implements, for example, a reading means. The camera 11 implements, for example, an imaging means. The storage unit 30 implements, for example, a first storage means and a second storage means. The display unit 23 implements, for example, an output means.

[0062] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the database stored in the storage unit 30 can be configured in other ways, as long as it can realize the above-mentioned processing.

[0063] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the user information registration processing unit 41, input information registration processing unit 42, input video registration processing unit 43, and video output processing unit 44, which constitute the processing unit 40, can also be configured as independent software programs as needed. For example, the video output processing unit 44 can also be configured as an independent software program. In this case, for example, the user starts a software program that executes video output processing, reads the information and data necessary for video output processing from the database stored in the storage unit 30, and executes the video output processing.

[0064] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a cleaning object management system is realized that manages the cleaning of cleaning objects owned by multiple owners, and includes: a reading means for reading identification information of a storage means containing at least one cleaning object belonging to the same owner; an imaging means associated with the reading means for imaging the state of the cleaning object taken out of the storage means from which the reading means read the identification information; a first storage means for storing the identification information, reading date and time information which is the date and time the reading means read the identification information, and owner information relating to the owner of the cleaning object stored in the storage means from which the reading means read the identification information; a second storage means for storing an image captured by the imaging means and the date and time the image was captured, and an output means for comparing the information stored in the first storage means with the information stored in the second storage means and outputting an image captured at the date and time that matches the owner information and the reading date and time information associated with the owner information.

[0065] Furthermore, the above embodiment provides a cleaning object management system that manages the cleaning of cleaning objects owned by multiple owners, comprising a reading means, an imaging means, a storage means, and an output means, the cleaning object management system comprising: a reading step in which the reading means reads identification information of a storage means containing at least one cleaning object belonging to the same owner; an imaging step in which the imaging means images the state of the cleaning object taken out of the storage means from which the reading means read the identification information, which is associated with the reading means; a storage step in which the storage means stores the identification information, the reading date and time information which is the date and time the reading means read the identification information, and owner information relating to the owner of the cleaning object stored in the storage means containing the identification information read by the reading means, and stores the image captured by the imaging means and the date and time the image was captured, which are associated with the storage means; and an output step in which the output means refers to the information stored in the storage means and outputs an image captured at the date and time that matches the owner information and the reading date and time information associated with the owner information.

[0066] Furthermore, the above embodiment provides a computer program for a cleaning object management system that manages the cleaning of cleaning objects owned by multiple owners, comprising a reading means, an imaging means, a storage means, and an output means, wherein the computer program causes the reading means to read identification information of a storage means containing at least one cleaning object belonging to the same owner; the imaging means to image the state of the cleaning object taken out of the storage means from which the reading means read the identification information, which is associated with the reading means; the storage means to store the identification information, the date and time of reading information which is the date and time the reading means read the identification information, and the owner information relating to the owner of the cleaning object stored in the storage means containing the identification information read by the reading means, and also stores the image captured by the imaging means and the date and time of capturing the image, which are associated with the storage means; and the output means to refer to the information stored in the storage means and output the image captured at the date and time that matches the owner information and the date and time of reading information associated with the owner information.

[0067] Furthermore, while embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. All such modifications and equivalents are intended to be included in the following claims. [Explanation of symbols]
