[0010] An embodiment of a management system according to the present disclosure will be described below. Note that the following description is an example of a management system according to the present disclosure, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example.

[0011] [Configuration example of Chair Management System 10] First, a configuration example of a chair management system 10 according to the present disclosure will be described. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the chair management system 10. As shown in Fig. 1, the chair management system (management system) 10 includes an electronically tagged chair (furniture) 1, a reading device 5, a communication terminal 6, a management device 7, and a database 8. This chair management system 10 can be used, for example, in an installation location where a plurality of electronically tagged chairs 1 are installed, to read the identification information of the electronically tagged chairs 1 using the reading device 5, and manage the electronically tagged chairs 1 based on the identification information.

[0012] (1 chair with electronic tag) Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the chair 1 with an electronic tag according to this embodiment, where reference numeral 201 in Fig. 2 is a front perspective view and reference numeral 202 in Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing an example of the schematic configuration of the electronic tag 4 provided in the chair 1 with an electronic tag shown in Fig. 2.

[0013] The chair 1 with an electronic tag according to this embodiment is a swivel chair used, for example, in an office or a conference room, etc. As shown in Fig. 2, the chair 1 with an electronic tag includes a chair body 2 and an electronic tag 4 provided on the chair body 2.

[0014] The chair body 2 includes, as main components, a seat 21, a backrest 22, a back frame 23 to which the backrest 22 is attached, and legs 24. The chair body 2 may also include, for example, armrests 25 and a headrest 26 as optional accessories.

[0015] The chair body 2 has a rocking function that allows the backrest 22 to tilt backward, which allows the occupant to sit in the chair body 2 with their body relaxed, allowing them to continue using the chair for long periods of time.

[0016] In the illustrated example, the legs 24 are, for example, a five-legged type that branches into five legs, and casters 27 are attached to the bottom ends of each of the five legs. The casters 27 are, for example, swivel-type casters that can rotate horizontally. This allows the chair body 2 to be easily moved.

[0017] In this embodiment, the electronic tag 4 is provided on the back of the backrest 22 of the chair body 2. Unique identification information for identifying the chair body 2 is assigned to the electronic tag 4. The identification information may be an arbitrary identification number or may be the manufacturing number (serial number) of the chair body 2, etc. This identification information makes it possible to uniquely identify the chair 1 with an electronic tag (chair body 2). The identification information may be written to the electronic tag 4 using a writing device (writer), for example, when the chair 1 with an electronic tag is manufactured or packed.

[0018] It is preferable that the electronic tag 4 stores the minimum amount of information (identification information) that can uniquely identify the electronic tag-equipped chair 1. However, depending on the storage capacity of the electronic tag 4, it is also possible to store information other than the identification information in the electronic tag 4.

[0019] The electronic tag 4 is, for example, a passive-type RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag that does not have a built-in battery. By using a passive-type RFID tag that does not have a battery (power source) for storing and transmitting identification information as the electronic tag 4, it is possible to make the electronic tag 4 smaller and less expensive than an active-type RFID tag that has a battery.

[0020] However, an active type RFID tag may be used as the electronic tag 4. Also, instead of an RFID tag, other wireless tags such as a BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) tag may be used.

[0021] 3, the electronic tag 4 includes an IC chip 41 having a memory area (storage unit) 41A that stores identification information of the chair body 2, and an IC antenna (antenna) 42 that can wirelessly communicate with a reader 5 that reads the identification information. The IC chip 41 and the IC antenna 42 are provided on a base material 43.

[0022] The IC chip 41 is, for example, a semiconductor chip, and is disposed in the center of the substrate 43. The IC chip 41 is equipped with a simple microcomputer, an EEPROM (registered trademark), a RAM, etc., and has a memory area 41A as a medium for storing identification information.

[0023] The IC antenna 42 is arranged, for example, so as to be wound in a spiral shape around the IC chip 41. When the IC antenna 42 receives radio waves transmitted from the reader 5, a current flows through the IC antenna 42 due to resonance. This current generates an electromotive force that operates the IC chip 41. When the IC chip 41 operates, the identification information stored in the memory area 41A is encoded by the IC chip 41, and the encoded data is wirelessly transmitted to the reader 5 via the IC antenna 42. The arrangement pattern of the IC antenna 42 is not limited to a spiral shape.

[0024] The electronic tag 4 may be attached to the seat 21, back frame 23, legs 24, armrests 25, headrest 26, etc. instead of the backrest 22 of the chair body 2. Even in this case, the identification information stored in the electronic tag 4 can be easily obtained by reading it with the reader 5 via wireless communication.

[0025] (Reader 5) The reading device 5 is used to read the identification information from the electronic tag 4. In this embodiment, the reading device 5 is, for example, a portable handheld reader. The reading device 5 includes a reading unit 51 that irradiates radio waves to the electronic tag 4 to read the identification information. The reading device 5 irradiates radio waves to the electronic tag 4 while being carried by a user, and transmits the read identification information to the communication terminal 6 via wired or wireless communication.

[0026] (Communication terminal 6) The communication terminal 6 is used to acquire the identification information read by the reading device 5 and to transmit and receive various information to and from the management device 7. The communication terminal 6 is a portable communication device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer. The communication terminal 6 includes a display unit (display) 61. The communication terminal 6 transmits the identification information read by the reading device 5 to the management device 7 via a network line. The communication terminal 6 also acquires display information including a list of related information about the electronically tagged chairs 1 linked to the identification information from the management device 7 via the network line. The communication terminal 6 displays a display image corresponding to the display information acquired from the management device 7 on the display unit 61.

[0027] (Management device 7) The management device 7 performs management processing of the chairs 1 with electronic tags based on the identification information acquired from the communication terminal 6. The management device 7 is, for example, a server computer installed on a cloud. The management device 7 includes a control unit 71, such as a CPU, that controls the management processing of the chairs 1 with electronic tags.

[0028] The control unit 71 includes an identification unit 711 and a generation unit 712. The identification unit 711 identifies furniture information including associated information, which is information about each electronically tagged chair 1 linked to each identification information, based on the plurality of pieces of identification information read by the reading device 5. Furthermore, the generation unit 712 generates display information for displaying a list of the furniture information of each electronically tagged chair 1 identified by the identification unit 711 on the display unit 61 of the communication terminal 6.

[0029] Specifically, when the identification unit 711 acquires identification information from the communication terminal 6, it reads out furniture information corresponding to the electronically tagged chair 1 linked to each of the identification information from the database 8. Then, the generation unit 712 generates display information for displaying a list of related information included in the furniture information read out by the identification unit 711. The control unit 71 transmits the display information generated by the generation unit 712 to the communication terminal 6 via a network line.

[0030] (Database 8) The database 8 stores furniture information about the chairs 1 with electronic tags. The furniture information includes related information (product information) about the chairs 1 with electronic tags. The related information may include, for example, information such as the type of furniture, product name, serial number, manufacturing date, delivery date, start date of use, or installation location of the furniture. Furthermore, the furniture information may further include, in addition to the related information, information such as the repair history of the chairs 1 with electronic tags.

[0031] [Example of using Chair Management System 10] Next, we will explain an example of how to use (management method) the chair management system 10 configured as described above. Below, we will explain an example in which a user (seller) visits an office or the like of a delivery destination (purchaser) where multiple chairs 1 with electronic tags are installed, and makes suggestions such as purchasing a new chair 1 with electronic tags based on the identification information read from the electronic tag 4.

[0032] First, in an office (installation location) where multiple chairs 1 with electronic tags are used, a user operates a reading device 5, such as a handheld reader, to acquire identification information (acquisition step). For example, while being held by the user, the reading device 5 irradiates radio waves onto the electronic tags 4 and reads the identification information from the electronic tags 4. At this time, the reading device 5 reads the identification information contactlessly through wireless communication with the electronic tags 4, so it is possible to simultaneously acquire multiple pieces of identification information from a remote location. For example, if the reading range of the reading device 5 is about several meters, it is possible to simultaneously acquire the identification information of multiple chairs 1 with electronic tags (electronic tags 4) that are within a range of several meters from the reading device 5. Therefore, it is possible to easily acquire the identification information of multiple chairs 1 with electronic tags. The reading device 5 transmits the read identification information to the communication terminal 6.

[0033] Next, the user operates the communication terminal 6, such as a smartphone, to transmit the plurality of pieces of identification information to the management device 7 from the delivery destination office via a network line.

[0034] Next, the identification unit 711 of the management device 7 reads out furniture information (related information) of the electronic tag-equipped chairs 1 linked to each piece of identification information from the database 8 based on the identification information transmitted from the communication terminal 6 (identification step). The identification unit 711 outputs the read furniture information to the generation unit 712.

[0035] The generating unit 712 generates display information for displaying a list of related information included in the furniture information on the display unit 61 of the communication terminal 6 based on the furniture information of each electronically tagged chair 1 identified by the identifying unit 711 (generation step). The control unit 71 transmits the display information generated by the generating unit 712 to the communication terminal 6 via a network line.

[0036] Next, the communication terminal 6 displays a display image corresponding to the display information acquired from the management device 7 on the display unit 61. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display image G displayed on the display unit 61. As shown in Fig. 4, the display image G may include a furniture list G1 that displays a list of information related to the chairs 1 with electronic tags, and furniture data G2 that displays individual information about the chairs 1 with electronic tags.

[0037] The furniture list G1 displays a list of related information for each electronically tagged chair 1. In the illustrated example, the furniture list G1 includes related information such as the type of furniture, product name, delivery date, update date of related information, serial number (manufacturing number), area (installation location), etc. The furniture list G1 may also include various types of information as related information, such as product number, warranty period, lot number, production date, start date of use, name of the orderer, name of the department to which the orderer belongs, final packaging location, or final packaging date. In this way, the furniture list G1 that displays a list of related information for multiple electronically tagged chairs 1 is displayed on the display unit 61, so the user can easily visually check the related information for multiple electronically tagged chairs 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the furniture data G2 displays detailed information about each of the electronically tagged chairs 1 listed in the furniture list G1. In the illustrated example, the furniture data G2 includes, in addition to related information, history information such as the repair history of the electronically tagged chairs 1. The furniture data G2 may also include maintenance information (alarm information) regarding the maintenance or replacement timing of the electronically tagged chairs 1. This allows activities such as maintenance or replacement of the electronically tagged chairs 1 to be carried out at an appropriate timing for each of the multiple electronically tagged chairs 1. This furniture data G2 may be displayed on the display unit 61, for example, when the user selects (for example, by touching the screen) one of the multiple electronically tagged chairs 1 listed in the furniture list G1.

[0039] The display information may further include proposal activity information such as the date of past proposal activities, the number of proposals, and the timing of the next proposal. This allows proposal activities to be carried out at more optimal timing. The additional information such as history information, maintenance information, and proposal activity information may be stored in the database 8 together with related information as part of the furniture information.

[0040] In this way, according to the chair management system 10, a furniture list G1 that displays a list of related information linked to the identification information of the electronically tagged chairs 1 is displayed on the display unit 61. This allows the user to easily check the related information of multiple electronically tagged chairs 1, allowing them to carry out suggestion activities such as replacing the electronically tagged chairs 1 at the optimal timing.

[0041] Furthermore, in the past, if the delivery recipient's office relocated, for example, it was not possible to track information such as the location of the delivered chairs from sales history, making it difficult to carry out the above-mentioned proposal activities. In contrast, chair management system 10 shares information such as the operation phase after delivery or the location after the office relocation between the user (seller) and the delivery recipient (purchaser), and updates database 8 storing this information as needed. This allows for continuous understanding of the operation phase or location, making it possible to carry out proposal activities efficiently and at the appropriate time.

[0042] The related information items displayed in the furniture list G1 are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate depending on the type of furniture to be managed, the purpose of management, etc. The type and display format of the information displayed in the display image G can also be changed as appropriate.

[0043] [Effects of the Chair Management System 10] In this way, the chair management system 10 is a chair management system 10 that manages a plurality of electronically tagged chairs 1, and each of the plurality of electronically tagged chairs 1 is equipped with a memory area 41A that stores unique identification information for identifying the electronically tagged chair 1, and an IC antenna 42 that is capable of wireless communication with a reading device 5 that reads the identification information. The chair management system 10 is equipped with an identification unit 711 that identifies, based on the plurality of pieces of identification information read by the reading device 5, related information that is information about each electronically tagged chair 1 linked to each piece of identification information, and a generation unit 712 that generates display information for displaying a list of the related information of each electronically tagged chair 1 identified by the identification unit 711 on the display unit 61.

[0044] In the chair management system 10, the identification unit 711 identifies the associated information for each electronically tagged chair 1 based on the identification information of multiple electronically tagged chairs 1 read by the reading device 5 via wireless communication. Therefore, it is possible to identify the associated information for each electronically tagged chair 1 based on the identification information read contactlessly via wireless communication from multiple electronically tagged chairs 1 installed in an office or the like, for example.

[0045] In addition, the chair management system 10 can display a list of related information for multiple pieces of furniture on the display unit 61 based on the display information generated by the generation unit 712, so that the related information for multiple chairs 1 with electronic tags can be easily confirmed visually.

[0046] Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to realize a chair management system 10 that makes it possible to easily check the related information for each chair 1 with an electronic tag based on the identification information of the chair 1 with an electronic tag.

[0047] In the above embodiment, a configuration example in which a plurality of chairs is managed by the management system according to the present disclosure has been described. However, the management system according to the present disclosure can also be applied to the management of various types of furniture other than chairs. Furthermore, the management system according to the present disclosure can also be applied to the management of multiple pieces of furniture of different types (for example, the management of chairs and desks).

[0048] [First Modification] Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing a chair management system 10A which is a first modified example of the chair management system 10. As shown in Fig. 5, the communication terminal 6 may include a generation unit 712. In this case, in the chair management system 10A, the control unit 62 of the communication terminal 6 includes the generation unit 712, and the control unit 71 of the management device 7 includes an identification unit 711.

[0049] In the chair management system 10A, the furniture information identified by the identification unit 711 of the management device 7 is transmitted from the management device 7 to the communication terminal 6. Then, the generation unit 712 of the communication terminal 6 generates display information based on the furniture information, and the display image G corresponding to the display information is displayed on the display unit 61.

[0050] [Second Modification] Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing a chair management system 10B which is a second modified example of the chair management system 10. As shown in Fig. 6, the communication terminal 6 may include an identifying unit 711 and a generating unit 712. In this case, the control unit 62 of the communication terminal 6 includes the identifying unit 711 and the generating unit 712, and the communication terminal 6 has the functions of the management device 7 described above. Therefore, the management device 7 can be omitted.

[0051] In the chair management system 10B, when the communication terminal 6 acquires identification information from the reading device 5, the specifying unit 711 of the communication terminal 6 reads out furniture information including related information of the electronically tagged chair 1 linked to each of the identification information from the database 8. Then, the generating unit 712 of the communication terminal 6 generates display information based on the furniture information, and a display image G corresponding to the display information is displayed on the display unit 61.
