Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0035] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, although various technically preferable limitations are imposed on the embodiments described below for carrying out the present invention, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples. Note that the directions in the following embodiments and illustrated examples are set only for convenience of explanation.

[0036] <Overview> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a network configuration of a storage item management system introduced into a low-ceiling storage room 101 of a first building 100. In the storage item management system, a storage item management device 10, a reader / writer 20, monitors 30 and 40, and a transport device 110 installed in the low-ceiling storage room 101 are communicably connected via a communication network. An RFID tag 5 capable of reading and writing information by the reader / writer 20 is attached to storage items 1, 2, and 3. In the storage item management system of the present embodiment, the storage items 1, 2, and 3 can be managed based on the information of the RFID tags 5 attached to the storage items 1, 2, and 3, and the transport device 110 carrying the storage items 1, 2, and 3 is operated as necessary. Thereby, the storage items 1, 2, and 3 that require date management can be moved to a desired position in the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0037] The storage item management device 10 is a computer device used by the occupants of the first building 100 (FIG. 4) where the low-ceiling storage room 101 is provided. The first building 100 is a house. However, the storage item management device 10 is not limited to a house, and can be introduced into, for example, all buildings where the low-ceiling storage room 101 can be provided.

[0038] The computer device constituting the storage item management device 10 may be composed of one computer, or may be composed of a plurality of computers capable of distributed processing or parallel processing. Further, this computer may be a cloud computing system. Note that the storage item management device 10 of this embodiment may be a server device. In that case, the residents of the first building 100 can use an information and communication terminal such as a PC, smartphone, or tablet terminal, and access the storage item management device 10, which is a server device, through the home gateway. As a result, it is possible to manage the stored items not only inside the house but also, for example, from outside the house.

[0039] Further, this storage item management device 10 is communicably connected to a transport device 110 installed in the low-ceiling storage room 101. In this embodiment, it is assumed that they are wired-connected by a communication line 110a, but they may be wirelessly connected.

[0040] The RFID tag 5 is an IC chip having a circuit necessary for wireless communication with the reader / writer 20, and has a memory area capable of writing and reading information necessary for the management of the stored items 1, 2, and 3. Such an RFID tag 5 may be in the form of a tag (label) or may be in a form that can be attached to an item with an adhesive sticker. Further, it may be built into a part of the stored items 1, 2, and 3.

[0041] The information stored in the memory area of the RFID tag 5 includes identification information for identifying the types of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 and second date information, which is date information for quality control. Examples of the second date information include the expiration date (shelf life) of food, the expiration date (shelf life) of pet food, the expiration date (shelf life) of wine and liquor, the expiration date of dry batteries and batteries for electronic devices, the expiration date of pharmaceuticals and supplements, the expiration date of cosmetics and skin care products, the expiration date of household detergents and deodorants, the expiration date of fire extinguishers, and the expiration date of rubber products such as sports equipment. Note that the types of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 refer to information such as product names, product numbers, item names, etc., and information related to the category of the items. These are numbered and stored in the memory area as identification numbers.

[0042] The reader / writer 20 is a device for reading the information stored in the memory area of the RFID tag 5 and writing information into the memory area, and is capable of transmitting and receiving in the dedicated frequency band as described above. Further, the reader / writer 20 is connected to an information communication terminal such as a smartphone (for example, physically attached and connected by wire, or wirelessly connected by pairing), and uses a dedicated application installed in the information communication terminal to read the information in the memory area of the RFID tag 5 and write information into the memory area. That is, it is possible to use the reader / writer 20 and the information communication terminal integrally. The information communication terminal communicably connected to the reader / writer 20 may be the storage item management device 10 or the monitors 30, 40. In addition, when the reader / writer 20 is used in connection with an information communication terminal, it does not necessarily have to be in the form of a handy-type device as shown in FIG. 1, and may be constantly installed on the wall surface or ceiling in the low-ceiling storage room 101. Also, the number of reader / writers 20 may be plural. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reader / writer 20 further has an information writing function, but it may be a reader-only device without a writing function.

[0043] The monitors 30, 40 are for displaying the information of the RFID tag 5 read by the reader / writer 20, and in this embodiment, are constituted by an information communication terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. However, it is not limited thereto, and it may be constituted by a dedicated monitor device. Also, the monitors 30, 40 can be used integrally with the reader / writer 20. Therefore, with the monitors 30, 40, it is possible to check the information about the storage items 1, 2, 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0044] The monitors 30 and 40 of the present embodiment are assumed to be configured by a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like, which is an information communication terminal separate from the storage item management device 10. That is, the information communication terminal constituting the storage item management device 10 and the information communication terminal constituting the monitors 30 and 40 are in a linked state. As the first monitor 30, a tablet terminal is adopted and is mainly used indoors. The first monitor 30 is usually held by a holder mounted on the wall near the entrance 107 of the wall 106, but can be freely taken out from the holder and can also be used for purposes other than the monitor in the storage item management device 10. On the other hand, as the second monitor 40, a personal smartphone held and used by the resident is adopted and can be carried not only indoors but also outside the house. In the present embodiment, such first monitor 30 and second monitor 40 are communicably connected to the storage item management device 10 via a communication network, and can display the information of the storage items 1, 2, and 3 read by the reader / writer 20, or conversely, input the information to be written to the RFID tag 5. Furthermore, it is also possible to control the operation of the transport device 110.

[0045] Note that although the monitors 30 and 40 of the present embodiment are assumed to be configured by a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like, which is an information communication terminal separate from the storage item management device 10 as described above, it is not limited thereto. That is, the monitors 30 and 40 may be simple monitor devices (displays) that function as display means attached to the storage item management device 10.

[0046] Conversely, an information communication terminal itself such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal may be adopted as the storage item management device 10, and the display means (touch panel display) in the information communication terminal may be treated as the monitors 30 and 40 of the present embodiment. Then, the storage item management device 10 constituted by such an information communication terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal is paired with the reader / writer 20 installed on the wall 106 of the low-ceiling storage room 101 and communicably connected, and if the operation of the transport device 110 can be controlled, a storage item management system can be constructed with relatively few components.

[0047] The communication network may include various communication line networks such as a telephone line network, an ISDN line network, an optical fiber, a mobile communication network, a communication satellite line, a CATV line network, and other dedicated lines, and an Internet service provider (i.e., the Internet) that connects them. Further, it may be an aggregated communication network in which various communication networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth (registered trademark), and NFC (Near Field Communication) are communicably connected to each other. Also, regarding the connection form, wired, wireless, and a mixture of wired and wireless are acceptable.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the communication between the storage item management device 10 and the transport device 110 is performed through the communication line 110a, but it is not limited thereto, and wireless communication may be used.

[0049] In the communication between the RFID tag 5 and the reader / writer 20, so-called wireless communication by RFID (radio frequency identification) is adopted. As RFID communication, any one of four frequency bands, namely the LF (Low Frequency) band, HF (High Frequency) band, UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band, and microwave band, is used. When it is possible to bring the reader / writer 20 close to the RFID tag 5, the LF band or HF band with a narrow communication range can be adopted. However, when the reader / writer 20 cannot be brought close to the RFID tag 5, the UHF band or microwave band with a wide communication range is adopted. Note that RFID shall also include NFC (Near Field Communication: short-range wireless communication). That is, NFC uses the above HF band as the frequency band. Especially when using NFC, the RFID tag may be read as an NFC tag.

[0050] Items stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 include, for example, clothes 1, storage units 2, and food 3. However, in addition, for example, children's toys, books, daily necessities, etc. are not particularly limited. And these stored items are in a state where the RFID tag 5 is attached.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 1, the clothes 1 may be stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 while being hung on the hanger 1a, or may be stored without being hung on the hanger 1a. Also, in the case of the clothes 1, the RFID tag 5 may be attached to the clothes 1 itself, or may be attached to the hanger 1a as shown in FIG. 1. When the clothes 1 are stored while being hung on the hanger 1a, the RFID tag 5 is attached to either the clothes 1 or the hanger 1a.

[0052] The information stored in the memory area of the RFID tag 5 attached to each piece of clothing 1 includes at least identification information for identifying the type of the clothing 1 (e.g., shirt, coat, suit, children's clothing, uniform, hat, muffler, etc.) and size information indicating the size of the clothing 1. Seasonal identification information for identifying seasonal items may also be included.

[0053] In this embodiment, the storage unit 2 employs a so-called hanger box, but it is not limited thereto, and for example, a folding container, a storage case with a lid, etc. may be employed. The storage unit 2 includes an access opening 2a for taking in and out articles and an opening / closing lid 2b for opening and closing the access opening 2a. And the RFID tag 5 is built in, for example, a top plate portion 2c that is hardly affected by the weight of the stored articles stored inside the storage unit 2. The piece of clothing 1 or the hanger 1a stored in the storage unit 2 may or may not be attached with the RFID tag 5.

[0054] The information stored in the memory area of the RFID tag 5 attached to each storage unit 2 includes at least identification information for identifying the contents of the storage unit 2. To identify the contents, it is desirable to store stored articles of similar categories in the storage unit 2 (such as clothing items together, food items together, etc.). Or, stored articles with close second date information may be stored in the same storage unit 2.

[0055] The food 3 may be stored in the low ceiling storage room 101 in a state wrapped by the packaging bag 3a, or may be stored without being wrapped by the packaging bag 3a. In the case of the food 3, it is desirable that the RFID tag 5 be in a state attached to the packaging bag 3a, but it is not limited thereto, and it may be in a state attached to the food 3 itself.

[0056] The information stored in the memory area of the RFID tag 5 attached to each food 3 includes at least identification information for identifying the type of food 3 (such as cans, bottles, PET bottle beverages, alcoholic beverages, oils and fats, various seasonings, confectioneries, rice, noodles, tea leaves, etc.) and expiration date information (consumption expiration date information), which is the second date information of the food 3.

[0057] <Configuration of the First Building> Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a part of the first building 100, and the first building 100 is provided with a low-ceiling storage room 101. The low-ceiling storage room 101 refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the first-floor floor 102 and an intermediate floor 103 provided on a part of this first-floor floor 102. In this embodiment, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 101 is 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 101 is arranged adjacent to the first-floor room 104, and an intermediate room 105 with the intermediate floor 103 as the floor is provided above the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0058] The first-floor room 104, the low-ceiling storage room 101, and the intermediate room 105 are partitioned by a wall 106. An entrance / exit 107 for coming and going between the low-ceiling storage room 101 and the first-floor room 104 is formed in the wall 106, and the entrance / exit 107 is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 107a. Note that the opening / closing method of the indoor-side opening / closing door 107a is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, a sliding door (pull-in door) is adopted.

[0059] The low-ceiling storage room 101 and the intermediate room 105 are separated from the outdoor space by an outer wall 108, and an outlet 109 (that is, a take-out port) for communicating the low-ceiling storage room 101 and the outdoor space is formed in the outer wall 108. The outlet 109 is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 109a. Note that the opening / closing method of the outdoor-side opening / closing door 109a is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, an outward-opening door is adopted.

[0060] Of the opening and closing doors 107a and 109a employed in this embodiment, at least the opening and closing door 109a on the side of the extraction port 109 includes a driving device that causes the opening and closing door 109a to perform an opening and closing operation around the axis of the rotation axis with respect to the outer wall 108, and a drive control unit that controls the operation of the driving device. The drive control unit is communicably connected to the stored item management device 10 via a communication network, is configured to receive a control signal from the stored item management device 10, and is configured to control the operation of the driving device. The driving device receives power supply from a power supply unit (not shown).

[0061] A transport device 110 is installed on the floor of the low ceiling storage room 101 (the portion of the first floor 102 within the low ceiling storage room 101). The transport device 110 of this embodiment employs a belt conveyor and is arranged from the entrance / exit 107 toward the extraction port 109. That is, the belt conveyor 110 is arranged in the vicinity of the entrance / exit 107 and the extraction port 109. The belt conveyor 110 includes a drive unit, a belt on which stored items are placed, a plurality of pulleys around which the belt is wound to transmit the power of the drive unit to the belt, a support frame that rotatably supports the plurality of pulleys, and a drive control unit that controls the operation of the drive unit. The drive control unit is communicably connected to the stored item management device 10 via a communication line 110a, is configured to receive a control signal from the stored item management device 10, and is configured to control the operation of the drive unit. The drive unit receives power supply from a power supply unit (not shown).

[0062] When the stored item management device 10 is communicably connected to and linked with the monitors 30 and 40, the transport device 110 and the monitors 30 and 40 may be communicably connected via the communication line 110a or another communication network. That is, in that case, the drive control unit is communicably connected to the monitors 30 and 40 via the communication line 110a or another communication network, is configured to receive a control signal from the monitors 30 and 40, and is configured to control the operation of the drive unit.

[0063] In this embodiment, the storage items stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 are storage units 2. The storage units 2 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 while being placed on the belt conveyor 110. Therefore, the resident can transport the storage unit 2 to the back of the low-ceiling storage room 101 without having to enter deep into the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0064] In addition, the belt conveyor 110 can transport the storage unit 2 not only in the direction from the entrance 107 to the outlet 109, but also in the opposite direction. Therefore, it is also possible to transport the storage unit 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 from the first-floor room 104 to the first-floor room 104 side and take it out from the entrance 107 to the first-floor room 104 side.

[0065] The belt conveyor 110 of this embodiment is arranged in a state where a space for the resident to enter is secured in the low-ceiling storage room 101. Therefore, the resident can perform the work of taking in and out storage items to and from the storage unit 2 in the adjacent first-floor room 104, and can also perform the same work inside the low-ceiling storage room 101. Therefore, the belt conveyor 110 of this embodiment is not arranged in front of the entrance 107 in consideration of the entry and exit of the resident and the taking in and out of storage items, but is arranged avoiding the entrance 107. For example, it is arranged beside the entrance 107. And the belt conveyor 110 is arranged, for example, linearly from near such an entrance 107 toward the outlet 109, but it does not necessarily have to be arranged linearly. That is, it may be evenly arranged in the remaining space in the low-ceiling storage room 101 so as to meander with, for example, a plurality of bent portions while securing a space for the resident to enter. On the other hand, it is desirable that the end portion of the belt conveyor 110 on the outlet 109 side be arranged as close as possible to the outlet 109. Thereby, when taking out the storage items 1, 2, 3 from the outdoor side, there is no need to enter the low-ceiling storage room 101 unnecessarily, so it is easy to take out the storage items 1, 2, 3.

[0066] Note that although the conveyor belt 110 is adopted in the transport device of this embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other transport devices having running means such as roller conveyors, slat conveyors, or wheels may be appropriately adopted.

[0067] <Hardware Configuration> FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the storage item management device 10 according to this embodiment. The storage item management device 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10a, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 10b, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 10c, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 10d, and a communication module 10e.

[0068] The CPU 10a executes various programs and performs arithmetic processing. The ROM 10b stores programs necessary at startup and the like. The RAM 10c is a work area for temporarily storing processing by the CPU 10a and storing data. The HDD 10d stores various data and programs. The communication module 10e communicates with other devices via a communication network.

[0069] <Software Configuration> FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the software configuration of the storage item management device 10 according to this embodiment. The storage item management device 10 mainly includes a tag information acquisition unit 11 (i.e., identification information acquisition means), a tag information transmission unit 12 (i.e., identification information transmission means), a transport device control unit 13 (i.e., transport device control means), a date monitoring unit 14 (i.e., date monitoring means), an opening / closing door control unit 15 (i.e., opening / closing door control means), and a storage unit 16 (i.e., storage means). These functional units are set to operate in appropriate linkage.

[0070] The tag information acquisition unit 11 has a function of acquiring the identification information and the second date information included in the RFID tags 5 attached to the stored items 1, 2, and 3 into the apparatus 10. The acquisition of the identification information and the second date information shall be automatically performed when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage chamber 101. As described above, the identification information includes information for identifying the types of the stored items 1, 2, and 3. Therefore, when the identification information is acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11, it becomes possible to identify the types of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage chamber 101. Also, as described above, since the second date information is date information for performing quality control of the stored item, it is information given only to the stored item 3 for which quality control is necessary. Therefore, it is not given to the stored items 1 and 2 for which quality control is not necessary. Thus, when the identification information is acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11, if the stored item is one that requires quality control (such as food 3), the second date information can be acquired simultaneously. The identification information and the second date information acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11 are stored in the identification information management database 16a and the date information management database 16b, which will be described later.

[0071] Note that the timing for the tag information acquisition unit 11 to acquire the identification information included in the RFID tags 5 attached to the stored items 1, 2, and 3 is also the timing for storing the stored items 1, 2, and 3 in the low-ceiling storage chamber 101. Therefore, when storing the stored items 1, 2, and 3 in the low-ceiling storage chamber 101, it is also the timing for the reader / writer 20 to read the contents of the memory area of the RFID tag 5. At this time, the first date information, which is the date information when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage chamber 101, will be generated. The stored item management apparatus 10 can acquire the first date information when the reader / writer 20 reads the contents of the memory area of the RFID tag 5. Such first date information is stored in the date information management database 16b as will be described later.

[0072] The tag information transmission unit 12 has a function of transmitting at least the identification information among the identification information acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11, the first date information, and the second date information acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11 together with the identification information to the outside. The tag information transmission unit 12 transmits at least the identification information at a plurality of timings. Examples of such a plurality of timings include, for example, when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are first stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, when the results of monitoring the stored items 1, 2, and 3 by the date monitoring unit 14 are issued, and when a request from the user is received. Note that a request from the user can be received through the monitors 30 and 40.

[0073] Also, the identification information is transmitted by the tag information transmission unit 12 to a predetermined transmission destination to which the storage item management device 10 is communicably connected via a communication network. Examples of the transmission destination include the external service management server 50 in addition to the monitors 30 and 40.

[0074] As described above, a tablet terminal mainly used indoors is adopted as the first monitor 30. As described above, a personal smartphone possessed and used by the resident is adopted as the second monitor 40. When the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are first stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, the identification information and the first date information, which is the date information thereof, are transmitted to the monitors 30 and 40, and the user can confirm it on the monitors 30 and 40. When the stored item is the food 3, the second date information, which is the expiration date information, is also transmitted to the monitors 30 and 40, and the user can also confirm the second date information on the monitors 30 and 40. When a request is received from the user through the monitors 30 and 40, the identification information, the first date information which is the date when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, and the second date information which is the expiration date information are transmitted to the monitors 30 and 40, and the user can confirm them on the monitors 30 and 40. Thereby, the user can, for example, consider the shopping contents while checking the stored items 1, 2, and 3 by the first monitor 30, or consider the shopping contents while checking the stored items 1, 2, and 3 by the second monitor 40 (smartphone) when away from home.

[0075] Furthermore, the external service management server 50 is a server device for providing a specific service involving the listing of the stored items 1, 2, and 3, and is an external service registered by the user. In short, this external service provides a flea market application (flea app), and the service management server 50 is a trading management server (listing information registration device) for managing the items traded between individuals in the flea app. In the present embodiment, since the stored item management device 10 and this service management server 50 are communicably connected, it is possible to register the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored by the user in the low-ceiling storage room 101 with the service management server 50 as listed items. At that time, it is ensured that the date is monitored by the date monitoring unit 14 (using the scheduling function described later), and an alert is also issued to confirm with the user before listing and then listing is performed.

[0076] The transport device control unit 13 has a function of controlling the operation of the transport device 110. More specifically, it communicates with the drive control unit that controls the operation of the drive unit in the transport device 110 via a communication network (communication line 110a), and operates the transport device 110 by transmitting a control signal to the drive control unit. The transport device 110 of this embodiment, which is a belt conveyor 110, is capable of only on-off control and forward / backward rotation of the conveyor belt. Note that the on-off control refers to the on-off of the rotation operations of a plurality of pulleys, and does not refer to the on-off of the power supply.

[0077] The date monitoring unit 14 has at least a function of starting to monitor the first date information, which is the date when the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 is acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11 at the timing when the identification information is acquired, a function of monitoring the number of days since the stored items 1, 2, and 3 were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, a function of setting a storage period for each of the stored items 1, 2, and 3, and a function of setting a storage deadline for each of the stored items 1, 2, and 3. That is, the date monitoring unit 14 has a first date information acquisition function of acquiring the first date information, which is the date when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, a number-of-days counting function for the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, and a scheduling function for the stored items 1, 2, and 3 for which the number-of-days counting has started. The scheduling function includes functions such as snooze and alert, and by interlocking with other functional units including the tag information transmission unit 12, the date monitoring result by the date monitoring unit 14 can be transmitted to the outside. The above-mentioned date monitoring result refers to the storage days of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 counted by the number-of-days counting function, notifications for the stored items 1, 2, and 3 that have reached the preset setting date by the scheduling function, and the like. Therefore, the date information includes not only the first date information which is the date when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low ceiling storage room 101, and the second date information which is the expiration date information (consumption expiration date information) of the stored item that is the food 3, but also the number of days information (hereinafter referred to as the number of days information) counted by the number of days counting function of the date monitoring unit 14, and the information of the set date (hereinafter referred to as the set date information) preset by the scheduling function. Regarding the number of days information by the number of days counting function, it can be easily derived based on the first date information when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low ceiling storage room 101. Therefore, the number of days counting function is a function that automatically starts operating when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low ceiling storage room 101. On the other hand, regarding the set date information by the scheduling function, a setting operation by the user is required. Or, set date information may be automatically added to all of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low ceiling storage room 101 to perform date monitoring (schedule management). When performing it automatically, it is necessary to determine in advance whether to set a storage period (specific period) or a storage deadline (specific deadline date). That is, when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low ceiling storage room 101 and the RFID tag 5 is read by the reader / writer 20, the monitoring of the first date information is started, but the date monitoring unit 14 automatically adds the set date information at this timing and performs date monitoring.

[0078] That is, the date monitoring unit 14 can take various embodiments. For example, there are a monitoring method using a time stamp, a monitoring method using a calendar function, a monitoring method performing periodic scans, and the like. In the monitoring method using a time stamp, the time stamp at the time of acquiring the identification information is recorded, and the elapsed time thereafter is monitored. In the monitoring method using a calendar function, an alert is set based on a specific date, and a notification is made when the specified date approaches. In the monitoring method performing periodic scans, the states of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are scanned at regular intervals, and the date information is updated. By combining these monitoring methods, more accurate date monitoring becomes possible.

[0079] The opening / closing door control unit 15 has a function of controlling the operation of the opening / closing door 109a (opening / closing door 107a). More specifically, it communicates with the drive control unit that controls the operation of the drive device in the opening / closing door 109a via a communication network, and operates the opening / closing door 109a by transmitting a control signal to the drive control unit. The opening / closing door 109a is capable of opening / closing with respect to the outer wall 108 of the opening / closing door 109a. Also, it may be possible to control the electronic lock in the opening / closing door 109a from the storage item management device 10.

[0080] The storage unit 16 includes an identification information management database 16a, a date information management database 16b, and a storage area 16c that stores other data, programs, and the like.

[0081] The identification information management database 16a stores the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11. Since there are many types of the stored items 1, 2, and 3, they are stored in a database for each of the stored items 1, 2, and 3. The identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the identification information management database 16a is linked to the date information (first date information, second date information) of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the date information management database 16b at the same time. Therefore, when extracting the identification information of any of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 from the identification information management database 16a, it is also possible to extract the associated date information. As a result, the user can immediately grasp which stored items were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 and when.

[0082] The date information management database 16b stores the date information (first date information, second date information, number of days information, set date information) of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11. Since it is the date information corresponding to each type of the numerous stored items 1, 2, and 3, it is stored in a database format similar to the identification information. The date information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the date information management database 16b is linked to the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the identification information management database 16a at the same time. Therefore, when extracting the date information of any of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 from the date information management database 16b, it is also possible to extract the associated identification information. As a result, it is possible to immediately grasp when and which stored items were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101. When adding set date information by the scheduling function of the date monitoring unit 14, the set date information is registered in a form linked to the first date information stored in this date information management database 16b and stored in the date information management database 16b. That is, the date information management database 16b stores the first date information when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 and the set date information arbitrarily added by the scheduling function of the date monitoring unit 14. Also, when set as automatically adding set date information by the scheduling function as described above, the set date information as set in advance is stored in the date information management database 16b.

[0083] The storage area 16c that stores other data, programs, etc. stores each data except the identification information management database 16a and the date information management database 16b, and programs necessary for the operation of the storage article management device 10. In the other storage area 16c, for example, information related to the residents of the building 100 (such as account information, etc.), information related to various devices linked with the storage article management device 10, etc. are stored.

[0084] Each functional unit is realized by a program executed on hardware resources such as the CPU 10a, ROM 10b, RAM 10c, etc. of the computer that constitutes the storage article management device 10. These functional units may be read as "means", "module", "unit", or "circuit". Also, each functional unit may be distributed not only in the storage article management device 10 but also in a plurality of server devices, and by making them communicable with each other via a communication network, a function similar to that of the storage article management device 10 may be realized. Also, each DB of the storage unit 16 may be arranged in an external storage device of the communication network. Also, the computer program and the application program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

[0085] <Flow of storing and retrieving storage articles> Next, the case of storing the storage articles 1, 2, 3 in the low ceiling storage room 101 and the case of taking them out from the low ceiling storage room 101 will be described. In this embodiment, since the storage articles stored in the low ceiling storage room 101 are the storage units 2 as described above, hereinafter, the storage unit 2 will be described as the storage article stored in the low ceiling storage room 101.

[0086] When newly storing the storage unit 2, store articles (such as clothes) in the storage unit 2. After finishing the storage, while allowing the RFID tag 5 to be read by the reader / writer 20, store the storage unit 2 in the low-ceiling storage room 101. At this time, the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 while being placed on the conveying device 110 which is a belt conveyor. When the RFID tag 5 is read by the reader / writer 20, the tag information acquisition unit 11 acquires the identification information of the storage unit 2, and the acquired identification information is stored in the identification information management database 16a.

[0087] Here, at the stage of storing the storage unit 2 in the low-ceiling storage room 101 while allowing the RFID tag 5 of the storage unit 2 to be read by the reader / writer 20, as the identification information, only the identification number for identifying the individual of the storage unit 2 itself (the storage container itself) is recorded. Therefore, if it is desired to identify the contents of the storage unit 2, use the writing function of the reader / writer 20 to record information about the contents. The information about the contents is written into the RFID tag 5. However, when the amount of information is large, it may be stored in another storage area 16c in a state where the identification information and the information about the contents are associated.

[0088] Also, at the timing when the RFID tag 5 of the storage unit 2 is read by the reader / writer 20, the monitoring of the date information by the date monitoring unit 14 is immediately started. That is, the first date information which is the date information when the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 is stored in the date information management database 16b in a state associated with the identification information. In addition, when the contents of the storage unit 2 are food, or when the articles require quality control, in order not to neglect the expiration date management, it is desirable to process in advance so that the second date information is included in the RFID tag 5. It is also possible to write the second date information later by the writing function of the reader / writer 20.

[0089] Note that the number-of-days information obtained by the number-of-days counting function of the date monitoring unit 14 can be confirmed at any time through the monitors 30 and 40. Also, the setting operation of the set date information by the scheduling function of the date monitoring unit 14 may be performed in advance, or may be performed after the storage operation of the storage unit 2 is completed. Here, it is assumed that when the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, the setting of the set date information is automatically performed at the same time. For example, it is assumed that the storage period is set to two years.

[0090] After the storage of the first storage unit 2 is completed, the transport device 110 is controlled by the transport device control unit 13 to move the first storage unit 2 by the amount corresponding to one storage unit. Then, the storage operation of the second storage unit 2 is performed. Since the storage operation in the second storage unit 2 is the same as that in the first storage unit 2, the description thereof is omitted. Also, since the storage operations in the third and subsequent storage units 2 are the same as that in the first storage unit 2, the description thereof is omitted. As described above, the storage operation of the storage unit 2, which is the item to be stored, is completed.

[0091] When replacing the storage unit 2, the transport device 110 is controlled by the transport device control unit 13 to appropriately move the plurality of storage units 2 placed on the transport device 110 for replacement.

[0092] When the contents of the storage unit 2 are changed, the memory area in the RFID tag 5 is rewritten by the reader / writer 20. Alternatively, the identification information stored in the identification information management database 16a is updated. It is assumed that the corresponding date information (first date information, second date information) is also updated at the same time for the contents whose identification information has been changed.

[0093] When taking out the storage unit 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, of course, the user himself / herself may enter the low-ceiling storage room 101 from the entrance / exit 107, carry the storage unit 2, and take it out. In addition, by controlling the transport device 110 by the transport device control unit 13, a method of transporting the plurality of storage units 2 placed on the transport device 110 and moving them to the entrance / exit 107 may be adopted.

[0094] Also, by controlling the opening / closing door 109a of the take-out port 109 by the opening / closing door control unit 15, the take-out port 109 is opened, and in this state, by controlling the transport device 110 by the transport device control unit 13, when the storage unit 2 is moved, the storage unit 2 can be discharged from the take-out port 109. If the user waits in front of the take-out port 109 (outdoor space), the storage unit 2 discharged from the take-out port 109 can be received. Alternatively, a mounting table (not shown) on which the storage unit 2 discharged from the take-out port 109 is placed may be prepared in front of the take-out port 109.

[0095] Note that the storage unit 2 discharged from the take-out port 109 is the one with the earliest storage order in the low-ceiling storage room 101 and has no usage history for a certain period (here, 2 years of the set storage period). Therefore, the identification information of the storage unit 2 may be transmitted to the service management server 50 by the tag information transmission unit 12. In that case, the take-out operation of the storage unit 2 may be performed by a carrier instead of the user. When the identification information of the storage unit 2 is transmitted to the service management server 50 by the tag information transmission unit 12, a notification shall be made to the user in advance as a precaution.

[0096] The storage unit 2 is taken out as described above. The destination of the identification information in the storage unit 2 that has no usage history for a certain period does not have to be an external service management server 50, and may be only the monitors 30 and 40.

[0097] <Effects of the Embodiment> According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. That is, the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 in a state where they can be transported by the transport device 110, and since the transport device 110 is controlled by the transport device control unit 13, even if the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored deeper inside the low-ceiling storage room 101, the stored items 1, 2, and 3 can be moved by operating the transport device 110. Therefore, it becomes possible to store the stored items 1, 2, and 3 in the low-ceiling storage room 101 so that their usage frequency does not decrease. Furthermore, RFID tags 5 containing identification information for identifying their types are attached to the stored items 1, 2, and 3, and the stored items 1, 2, and 3 can be stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 after the tag information acquisition unit 11 acquires the identification information. Moreover, since the date monitoring unit 14 can monitor the first date information, which is the date when the identification information was acquired by the tag information acquisition unit 11, it becomes possible to manage which types of stored items 1, 2, and 3 were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 and when. As a result, it becomes easier to grasp the period during which the stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 and manage the storage period, so that the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 can be efficiently managed.

[0098] Also, since the date monitoring unit 14 can monitor the second date information of the stored item 3 that requires quality control, when the date of the second date information for quality control approaches or arrives, the stored item 3 can be moved by operating the transport device 110. Therefore, it becomes possible to efficiently manage the stored item 3 so as not to degrade its quality.

[0099] In addition, since the tag information transmission unit 12 can transmit at least the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3, the first date information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3, and the second date information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 to the outside, it is possible to grasp externally at least what types of stored items 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101. Furthermore, if the first date information can be transmitted to the outside, the date information when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 can be grasped externally, and if the second date information can be transmitted to the outside, the second date information for quality control of the stored item 3 can be grasped externally. As a result, for example, it becomes possible to check the information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 even when away from the office or in other systems.

[0100] In addition, since the tag information transmission unit 12 transmits the identification information associated with the first date information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 that have no usage history for a certain period extracted by the date monitoring unit 14 to the outside, the date information when the stored items 1, 2, and 3 were stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 can be grasped externally. As a result, for example, it becomes possible to check the first date information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 even when away from the office or in other systems.

[0101] In addition, since the tag information transmission unit 12 transmits the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 that have no usage history for a certain period extracted by the date monitoring unit 14 to the service management server 50, it is possible to transmit the identification information of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 that have no usage history for a certain period as product information for a specific service involving the listing of the product. As a result, the stored items 1, 2, and 3 that have no usage history for a certain period can be effectively utilized without being stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 forever, which can contribute to efficiently managing the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0102] In addition, the transport device control unit 13 controls the operation of the transport device 110 and transports the stored items 1, 2, and 3 without a usage history for a certain period toward the outlet 109. Therefore, the stored items 1, 2, and 3 without a usage history for a certain period can be discharged from the outlet 109 without being stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101 indefinitely, contributing to the efficient management of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0103] In addition, since it is equipped with an opening / closing door control unit 15 that controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 109a for opening and closing the outlet 109, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 109a can be controlled to open or close the outlet 109, and together with the transport device control unit 13, it is possible to control the discharge of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 from the outlet 109.

[0104] In addition, since the transport device 110 for transporting the stored items 1, 2, and 3 is arranged near the entrance / exit 107 and the outlet 109, it is easy to carry the stored items 1, 2, and 3 both when storing them in the low-ceiling storage room 101 and when taking them out of the low-ceiling storage room 101. Therefore, it can contribute to the efficient management of the stored items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101.

[0105] In addition, since the wall 108 in which the outlet 109 is formed is an outer wall 108 arranged facing the outdoor space, the outlet 109 formed in this outer wall 108 will be arranged facing the outdoor space. As a result, it becomes easier to take out the stored items 1, 2, and 3 from the outdoor space.

[0106] In addition, since the specific floor is the first floor and the low-ceiling storage room 101 is provided on the first floor, the stored items 1, 2, and 3 can be safely taken out when taking them out from the outdoor space.

[0107] In recent years, the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) has been demanded, and various efforts have been made in the construction industry. The storage item management device 10 of the present embodiment can efficiently manage the storage items 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 101, so it can contribute to improving the comfort of the building 100, which is a house equipped with the low-ceiling storage room 101. Furthermore, the opening / closing door 109a of the outlet 109 facing the outdoor space can be managed by the opening / closing door control unit 15, which also contributes to improving the security. From this, the storage item management device 10 of the present embodiment can contribute to the construction of a sustainable city and the achievement of the SDGs (Goal 11).

[0108] 〔Modification Example〕 Note that the applicable embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. Hereinafter, modification examples will be described. The following modification examples may be combined as much as possible. Also, in each of the following modification examples, elements common to the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.

[0109] 〔Modification Example 1〕 FIG. 5 is a plan-sectional view showing a part of the second building 200 equipped with the low-ceiling storage room 201. The second building 200 is a multi-story building, and the floor (specific floor) where the low-ceiling storage room 101 is provided is assumed to be, for example, a floor located above the first floor. In this modification example, it is the second floor, but it is not limited thereto, and the first floor may also be used.

[0110] The low-ceiling storage room 201 refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the second floor 202 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided above a part of the second floor 202. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 201 is 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 201 is arranged adjacent to the first room 204 and the second room 205. More specifically, the low-ceiling storage room 201 is arranged at a position sandwiched between the first room 204 and the second room 205. Also, above the low - ceiling storage room 201, an intermediate room (not shown) with an intermediate floor as the floor is provided.

[0111] The first room 204, the low - ceiling storage room 201, and the intermediate room are partitioned by the first wall 206. A first opening 207 for going back and forth between the low - ceiling storage room 201 and the first room 204 is formed in the first wall 206, and the first opening 207 is opened and closed by an opening - closing door 207a. Note that the opening - closing method of the opening - closing door 207a is not particularly limited, but in this modified example, two sliding doors of the sliding - type are adopted.

[0112] The second room 205, the low - ceiling storage room 201, and the intermediate room are partitioned by the second wall 208. A second opening 209 for going back and forth between the low - ceiling storage room 201 and the second room 205 is formed in the second wall 208, and the second opening 209 is opened and closed by an opening - closing door 209a. Note that the opening - closing method of the opening - closing door 209a is not particularly limited, but in this modified example, two sliding doors of the sliding - type are adopted.

[0113] Among the opening - closing doors 207a and 209a adopted in this modified example, at least the opening - closing door 209a facing the second - room 205 side includes a driving device that moves the door body along a sliding rail, and a drive control unit that controls the operation of the driving device. And the drive control unit is communicably connected to the storage item management device 10 via a communication network, is configured to receive a control signal from the storage item management device 10, and control the operation of the driving device. The driving device receives power supply from a power supply unit (not shown). More specifically, the drive control unit of the opening - closing door 209a is controlled by the opening - closing door control unit 15 of the storage item management device 10.

[0114] On the floor of the low-ceiling storage room 201, a conveying device (not shown) is installed. The conveying device in this modified example employs a belt conveyor and is arranged from the first opening 207 toward the second opening 209. That is, the belt conveyor is arranged in the vicinity of the first opening 207 and the second opening 209. The belt conveyor includes a drive unit, a belt on which storage items are placed, a plurality of pulleys around which the belt is wound to transmit the power of the drive unit to the belt, a support frame that rotatably supports the plurality of pulleys, and a drive control unit that controls the operation of the drive unit. The drive control unit is communicably connected to the storage item management device 10 via the communication line 110a, is configured to receive a control signal from the storage item management device 10, and control the operation of the drive unit. The drive unit receives power supply from a power supply unit (not shown). More specifically, the drive control unit of the belt conveyor is controlled by the conveying device control unit 13 of the storage item management device 10.

[0115] In this modified example, the storage items stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201 are storage units 2, and the storage units 2 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201 while being placed on the belt conveyor. Therefore, the resident can convey the storage unit 2 to the back of the low-ceiling storage room 201 without entering deep into the low-ceiling storage room 201.

[0116] Also, the belt conveyor can convey the storage unit 2 in the direction from the first opening 207 toward the second opening 209. However, it is not limited to this, and the storage unit 2 can also be conveyed in the opposite direction. Therefore, it is also possible to convey the storage unit 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201 from the first room 204 to the first room 204 side and take it out from the first opening 207 to the first room 204 side.

[0117] The belt conveyor of this embodiment is arranged in the low-ceiling storage room 201 with a space secured for the occupant to enter. Therefore, the occupant can carry out the work of taking in and out the stored items to and from the storage unit 2 in the adjacent first room 204, and can also carry out the same work in the low-ceiling storage room 201. On the other hand, it is desirable that the end portion of the belt conveyor on the side of the second opening 209 is arranged as close as possible to the second opening 209. Thereby, when taking out the storage unit 2 from the second room 205 side, it is not necessary to enter the low-ceiling storage room 201 deliberately, so that the storage unit 2 can be easily taken out.

[0118] When newly storing the storage unit 2 in the low-ceiling storage room 201, items (for example, clothes) are stored in the storage unit 2. After the storage is completed, while the RFID tag 5 is being read by the reader / writer 20, the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201. At this time, the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201 while being placed on the belt conveyor. When the RFID tag 5 is read by the reader / writer 20, the tag information acquisition unit 11 acquires the identification information of the storage unit 2, and the acquired identification information is stored in the identification information management database 16a. At the same timing, the monitoring of the date information by the date monitoring unit 14 is also immediately started. That is, the first date information, which is the date information when the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201, is stored in the date information management database 16b in a state linked to the identification information. Then, the storage operations of the plurality of storage units 2 are performed sequentially, and the storage operation of the storage unit 2, which is the stored item, is completed.

[0119] When taking out the storage unit 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 201, either the user takes out the storage unit 2 by hand, or the belt conveyor transports the storage unit 2 to the first opening 207 side, or the belt conveyor transports the storage unit 2 to the second opening 209 side. When transporting the storage unit 2 to the second opening 209 side by the belt conveyor, by controlling the opening / closing door 209a of the second opening 209 by the opening / closing door control unit 15, the second opening 209 is opened, and in this state, by controlling the belt conveyor by the transport device control unit 13 to move the storage unit 2, the storage unit 2 can be discharged from the second opening 209. If the user waits in front of the second opening 209 (the second room 205), the storage unit 2 discharged from the second opening 209 can be received. Or, the second room 205 may be used as a temporary storage place for temporarily storing the storage unit 2 discharged from the low ceiling storage room 201. The storage unit 2 is taken out as described above. The transmission destination of the identification information in the storage unit 2 with no usage history for a certain period is set to the external service management server 50 or the monitors 30, 40.

[0120] According to this modification example, by utilizing the flow of the transport device to create a storage flow of storing the stored items 1, 2, 3 from the first opening 207 and taking out the stored items 1, 2, 3 from the second opening 209, the second opening 209 can be made to function as an outlet for taking out the stored items 1, 2, 3. And the low ceiling storage room 201 and the second room 205 whose ceiling height is set higher than that of this low ceiling storage room 201 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the second wall 208 is arranged facing the second room 205, so the second opening 209 which is the outlet formed in the second wall 208 is arranged facing the second room 205. As a result, it becomes easier to take out the stored items 1, 2, 3 from the second room 205.

[0121] [Modification Example 2] FIG. 6 is a plan sectional view showing a part of the third building 300 equipped with a low ceiling storage room 301. The low ceiling storage room 301 of this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the floor 302 of a specific floor in the third building 300 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of the floor 302 of this specific floor. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low ceiling storage room 301 is 1.4 m. The low - ceiling storage room 301 is arranged adjacent to the first room 304 set at the normal ceiling height. Above the low - ceiling storage room 301, although not shown in the figure, an intermediate room with an intermediate floor as the floor is provided.

[0122] The first room 304, the low - ceiling storage room 301, and the intermediate room are partitioned by the first wall 306. In the first wall 306, a first opening 307 which is an entrance for going back and forth between the low - ceiling storage room 301 and the first room 304 is formed, and the first opening 307 is opened and closed by an opening - closing door 307a. Note that the opening - closing method of the opening - closing door 307a is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, a sliding door (pull - in door) is adopted.

[0123] And the conveying device of this modification is a drying device 350 installed on the ceiling of the low - ceiling storage room 301. The drying device 350 is an electric drying device powered by electricity. As shown in FIG. 7, it includes a hanging part 351 from which drying utensils such as hangers 1a for drying clothes are hung, a support part 352 attached to the ceiling of the low - ceiling storage room 301 to support the hanging part 351, and a driving part 353.

[0124] The hanging part 351 includes a plurality of rails 351a, a plurality of hanger runners 351b, and a plurality of rail joints 351c. The plurality of rails 351a constitute the movement paths of the plurality of hanger runners 351b, are attached to the ceiling by the support portion 352, and are evenly arranged within the low ceiling storage room 301. In the example shown in FIG. 7, an end portion 354 is provided at the end of the rail 351a, which serves as a mounted portion to which the driving portion 353 is mounted while restricting the movement of the plurality of hanger runners 351b. However, in this modified example, this end portion 354 is eliminated, and the plurality of rails 351a are integrally formed in an endless shape by being connected at the rail joint 351c. The rail joint 351c is used when the length of the rail 351a is insufficient and the rail 351a needs to be extended, and can connect one rail 351a and the other rail 351a without hindering the running of the plurality of hanger runners 351b. The driving portion 353 is wired in a state where it does not impede the movement of drying tools such as the hanger 1a and is attached to the wall surface within the low ceiling storage room 301. In this modified example, the plurality of rails 351a are in a state where there are 7 bent portions that can turn 180 degrees and 2 bent portions that can turn 90 degrees, and thus are evenly arranged within the low ceiling storage room 301. The plurality of hanger runners 351b are hooked with hangers, drying tools, etc., and move along the length direction of the integrated plurality of rails 351a. These plurality of hanger runners 351b are driven to run along the rail 351a by the driving portion 353.

[0125] The support portion 352 is mounted on the upper end portion of the rail 351a so as to engage with both sides in the length direction of the rail 351a. Also, a plurality of support portions 352 are provided at intervals in the length direction of the rail 351a. This support portion 352 includes a protruding portion 352a that protrudes laterally from both side surfaces of the rail 351a, and by attaching the protruding portion 352a to the ceiling with a fixture such as a screw, the entire drying device 350 can be attached to the ceiling.

[0126] The drive unit 353 uses electricity as a drive source and is capable of controlling the travel of a plurality of hanger runners 351b. More specifically, the plurality of hanger runners 351b can be made to travel along a plurality of integrated rails 351a. And this drive unit 353 operates such that a drive control unit (not shown) is controlled by the transport device control unit 13 of the storage article management device 10, and the plurality of hanger runners 351b can be moved by an operation from the storage article management device 10 (monitors 30, 40).

[0127] In this modification example, the stored article is the clothing 1, which is hung on the hanger 1a and stored in the low ceiling storage room 301. The RFID tag 5 may be attached to the clothing 1 itself or to the hanger 1a. The RFID tag 5 contains identification information of the clothing 1, and when the clothing 1 is stored in the low ceiling storage room 301, the date monitoring unit 14 starts monitoring the first date information at the timing when the tag information acquisition unit 11 acquires the identification information.

[0128] Also, for example, the plurality of hanger runners 351b are provided with suspension sensors that detect when the hanger 1a is hooked. And the storage article management device 10 is provided with storage position storage means (not shown) that associates and stores in the other storage area 16c which hanger runner 351b the hanger 1a is hooked on and the identification information of the clothing 1 hung on that hanger 1a. Furthermore, the storage article management device 10 displays a plan projection view as shown in FIG. 6 on the monitors 30, 40, and on that basis, receives a position display request from the user and is provided with plan projection display means (not shown) that identifies the position of the hanger runner 351b on which the clothing 1 with the corresponding identification number is hung on the plan projection view. It is preferable that the identification of the position exerts a visual effect such as making the color of the displayed hanger 1a different from others or blinking, as indicated by reference numeral 1a - A in FIG. 6. Since the storage item management device 10 includes such storage position memory means and a planar projection display means as functional parts, the position of the clothing 1 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 301 can be clearly seen at a glance, so that the clothing 1 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 301 can be efficiently managed.

[0129] According to this modification example, since the drying device 350 which is a conveying device is provided with an endless rail 351a, even if the clothing 1 which is a storage item is stored deeper in the low-ceiling storage room 301, the clothing 1 can be moved by operating the drying device 350. Therefore, it becomes possible to store the clothing 1 in the low-ceiling storage room 301 so that the frequency of use does not decrease, and the clothing 1 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 301 can be efficiently managed.

[0130] 〔Modification Example 3〕 FIG. 8 is a plan sectional view showing a part of the fourth building 400 provided with a low-ceiling storage room 401. The low-ceiling storage room 401 of this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the floor 402 of a specific floor in the fourth building 400 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of the floor 402 of this specific floor. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 401 is 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 401 is arranged adjacent to the first room 404 set at a normal ceiling height, and above the low-ceiling storage room 401, although not shown, an intermediate room with an intermediate floor as the floor is provided.

[0131] The first room 404, the low-ceiling storage room 401 and the intermediate room are partitioned by the first wall 406. The first wall 406 is formed with a first opening 407 which is an entrance for going back and forth between the low-ceiling storage room 401 and the first room 404, and the first opening 407 is opened and closed by an opening and closing door 407a. Note that the opening and closing method of the opening and closing door 407a is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, a sliding door (pull-in door) is adopted.

[0132] And the transportation device of this modification example is composed of a plurality of mobile carts 450. Specifically, eight mobile carts 450 are provided on the floor 402 in the low-ceiling storage room 401 in a state where they can run. The eight mobile carts 450 can perform rearrangement operations like a slide puzzle called "8-puzzle" or the like. Therefore, all the mobile carts 450 have the same vertical and horizontal areas, are set to the same height, and are configured with wheels driven by a driving unit. The driving unit uses electricity as a driving source and can control the running movement of the mobile cart 450. More specifically, it can move the mobile cart 450 by operating the driving unit of the wheels and can control the advancing direction of the mobile cart 450 by changing the direction of the wheels. These eight mobile carts 450 are set to be able to move in conjunction with each other by an operation from the storage item management device 10 (monitors 30, 40).

[0133] In this modification example, the stored item is the storage unit 2, and it is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 401 while being placed on the mobile cart 450. The RFID tag 5 may be attached to the storage unit 2 itself or to the contents of the storage unit 2. The RFID tag 5 contains identification information of the storage unit 2 or the contents, and when the storage unit 2 is stored in the low-ceiling storage room 401, the monitoring of the first date information is started by the date monitoring unit 14 at the timing when the tag information acquisition unit 11 acquires the identification information.

[0134] According to this modification example, the storage unit 2 placed on the eight mobile carts 450 moves in conjunction with each other by an operation from the storage item management device 10 (monitors 30, 40), accepts a request from the user, and can automatically move the designated storage unit 2 to the first opening 407. Therefore, it becomes possible to store the contents of the storage unit 2 in the low-ceiling storage room 401 so that the usage frequency does not decrease, and it becomes possible to efficiently manage the storage units 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 401.

[0135] 〔Modification Example 4〕 FIG. 9 is a plan sectional view showing a part of a fifth building 500 equipped with a low ceiling storage room 501. The low ceiling storage room 501 in this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the floor 502 of a specific floor in the fifth building 500 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of the floor 502 of this specific floor. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low ceiling storage room 501 is 1.4 m. The low ceiling storage room 501 is arranged adjacent to a first room 504 and a second room 505. More specifically, the low ceiling storage room 501 is arranged at a position sandwiched between the first room 504 and the second room 505. Also, an intermediate room (not shown) with the intermediate floor as the floor is provided above the low ceiling storage room 501.

[0136] The first room 504, the low ceiling storage room 501, and the intermediate room are partitioned by a first wall 506. A first opening 507 for going back and forth between the low ceiling storage room 501 and the first room 504 is formed in the first wall 506, and the first opening 507 may be opened and closed by an opening and closing door.

[0137] The second room 505, the low ceiling storage room 501, and the intermediate room are partitioned by a second wall 508. A second opening 509 for going back and forth between the low ceiling storage room 501 and the second room 505 is formed in the second wall 508, and the second opening 509 may be opened and closed by an opening and closing door.

[0138] A conveying device 510 is installed on the floor of the low ceiling storage room 501. The conveying device 510 in this modification example employs a belt conveyor system and is arranged to be able to circulate within the low ceiling storage room 501. That is, the belt conveyor system, which is the conveying device 510 in this modification example, includes a conveyor for a straight part and a corner conveyor capable of changing the moving direction of the storage unit 2 by 90 degrees at the four corners of the low ceiling storage room 501. In the belt conveyor system, each conveyor includes a drive unit, a belt on which stored items are placed, a plurality of pulleys around which the belt is wound to transmit the power of the drive unit to the belt, a support frame that rotatably supports the plurality of pulleys, and a drive control unit that controls the operation of the drive unit. The drive control unit is communicably connected to the stored item management device 10 via the communication line 110a, is configured to receive a control signal from the stored item management device 10, and is configured to control the operation of the drive unit. The drive unit receives power supply from a power supply unit (not shown). More specifically, the drive control unit of each belt conveyor is controlled by the transport device control unit 13 of the stored item management device 10. Also, in the center of the belt conveyor system, a machine unit 511, which is the core of the belt conveyor system, is arranged.

[0139] In this modification example, the stored items stored in the low ceiling storage room 501 are storage units 2. The storage units 2 are stored in the low ceiling storage room 501 while being placed on the transport device 510. Therefore, the resident can transport the storage unit 2 to the back of the low ceiling storage room 501 without entering deep into the low ceiling storage room 501.

[0140] Also, the transport device 510 can transport the storage unit 2 in a manner that circulates within the low ceiling storage room 501. Therefore, it is possible to transport the storage unit 2 stored in the low ceiling storage room 501 from the first room 504 to the second room 505 side and take it out from the second opening 509 to the second room 505, or transport it to the first room 504 side and take it out from the first opening 507 to the first room 504 side again.

[0141] According to this modification example, since the belt conveyor system, which is the conveying device 510, is configured to be able to circulate within the low-ceiling storage room 501, even if the storage unit 2, which is the stored item, is stored deeper in the low-ceiling storage room 501, the storage unit 2 can be moved by operating the conveying device 510. Therefore, it becomes possible to store the contents of the storage unit 2 in the low-ceiling storage room 501 so that the frequency of use does not decrease, and the contents of the storage unit 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 501 can be efficiently managed.

[0142] 〔Modification Example 5〕 FIG. 10 is a plan sectional view showing a part of the sixth building 600 equipped with a low-ceiling storage room 601. The low-ceiling storage room 601 of this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the floor 602 of a specific floor in the sixth building 600 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of the floor 602 of this specific floor. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 601 is set to 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 601 is arranged adjacent to the first room 604 set with a normal ceiling height, and above the low-ceiling storage room 601, although not shown, an intermediate room with an intermediate floor as the floor is provided.

[0143] The first room 604, the low-ceiling storage room 601, and the intermediate room are partitioned by the first wall 606. The first wall 606 is formed with a first opening 607, which is an entrance / exit for going back and forth between the low-ceiling storage room 601 and the first room 604, and the first opening 607 is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 607a. Note that the opening / closing method of the opening / closing door 607a is not particularly limited, but a split type of two sliding doors is adopted.

[0144] On the floor of the low-ceiling storage room 601, a conveying device 610 is installed. The conveying device 610 in this modified example adopts a belt conveyor system and is evenly arranged within the low-ceiling storage room 601. That is, the belt conveyor system which is the conveying device 610 in this modified example has a conveyor for the straight section, three conveyors for the bending sections capable of 180-degree direction change, and two conveyors for the bending sections capable of 90-degree direction change, and thus is evenly arranged within the low-ceiling storage room 601. Each conveyor in the belt conveyor system includes a driving part, a belt on which the stored items are placed, a plurality of pulleys around which the belt is wound to transmit the power of the driving part to the belt, a support frame for rotatably supporting the plurality of pulleys, and a drive control part for controlling the operation of the driving part. And the drive control part is communicably connected to the stored item management device 10 via the communication line 110a, is set to be able to receive a control signal from the stored item management device 10 and control the operation of the driving part. The driving part receives power supply from a power supply part (not shown). More specifically, the drive control parts of the belt conveyors of each part are controlled by the conveying device control part 13 of the stored item management device 10.

[0145] The stored items stored in the low-ceiling storage room 501 are, in this modified example, storage units 2, and the storage units 2 are stored in the low-ceiling storage room 601 while being placed on the conveying device 610. Therefore, the resident can convey the storage unit 2 to the back of the low-ceiling storage room 601 without having to enter deep into the low-ceiling storage room 601.

[0146] Also, the conveying device 610 can convey the storage unit 2 evenly within the low-ceiling storage room 601. Therefore, it is also possible to convey the storage unit 2 stored deep inside the low-ceiling storage room 601 from the first room 604 to the first room 604 side and take it out from the first opening 607 to the first room 604 side again.

[0147] According to this modification example, since the belt conveyor system, which is the conveying device 610, is configured to be evenly arranged in the low-ceiling storage room 601, even if the storage unit 2, which is the stored article, is stored deeper in the low-ceiling storage room 601, the storage unit 2 can be moved by operating the conveying device 610. Therefore, it becomes possible to store the contents of the storage unit 2 in the low-ceiling storage room 601 so that the usage frequency does not decrease, and the contents of the storage unit 2 stored in the low-ceiling storage room 601 can be efficiently managed.

[0148] 〔Modification Example 6〕 FIG. 11 is a plan sectional view showing a part of the seventh building 700 equipped with a low-ceiling storage room 701. The low-ceiling storage room 701 of this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the first-floor floor 702 in the seventh building 700 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of this first-floor floor 702. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 701 is 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 701 is arranged adjacent to the first room 704 set to a normal ceiling height. Above the low-ceiling storage room 701, although not shown, an intermediate room with an intermediate floor as the floor is provided.

[0149] The first room 704 of this modification example is a living room that combines the functions of a dining room and a kitchen in one room. In this living room, which is the first room 704, a table 704a integrated with a sink with a stove is installed.

[0150] The low-ceiling storage room 701 of this modification example is partitioned into three areas by a plurality of partition walls 705a, 705b, 705c, 705d. Among the plurality of partition walls, the first partition wall 705a is an outer wall integrally formed with the outer wall provided on the north side of the building 700. The second partition wall 705b, the third partition wall 705c, and the fourth partition wall 705d are arranged parallel to the first partition wall 705a in plan view and are arranged at equal intervals from each other. The low ceiling storage room 701 includes a first low ceiling storage room 701a, a second low ceiling storage room 701b, and a third low ceiling storage room 701c, which are separated by these plurality of partition walls 705a, 705b, 705c, 705d.

[0151] The first room 704, the low ceiling storage room 701 (701a, 701b, 701c), and the intermediate room are partitioned by a first wall 706, which is an inner wall. Furthermore, the low ceiling storage room 701 (701a, 701b, 701c) and the intermediate room are separated from the outdoor space by a second wall 708, which is an outer wall. A plurality of indoor openings 707a, 707b, 707c, which are entrances and exits for going back and forth between the low ceiling storage room 701 (701a, 701b, 701c) and the first room 704, are formed in the indoor first wall 706. A plurality of outdoor openings 709a, 709b, 709c, which communicate the low ceiling storage room 701 (701a, 701b, 701c) with the outdoor space, are formed in the outdoor second wall 708.

[0152] The plurality of indoor openings 707a, 707b, 707c include a first indoor opening 707a for going back and forth between the first low ceiling storage room 701a and the first room 704, a second indoor opening 707b for going back and forth between the second low ceiling storage room 701b and the first room 704, and a third indoor opening 707c for going back and forth between the third low ceiling storage room 701c and the first room 704. The first indoor opening 707a is opened and closed by a door 707D1, the second indoor opening 707b is opened and closed by a door 707D2, and the third indoor opening 707c is opened and closed by a door 707D3. The opening and closing method of these doors 707D1, 707D2, 707D3 is not particularly limited, but in this modification, a four-fold door with two leaves on one side is adopted.

[0153] The plurality of outdoor openings 709a, 709b, 709c include a first outdoor opening 709a that communicates the first low-ceiling storage room 701a with the outdoor space, a second outdoor opening 709b that communicates the second low-ceiling storage room 701b with the outdoor space, and a third outdoor opening 709c that communicates the third low-ceiling storage room 701c with the outdoor space. The first outdoor opening 709a is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 709S1, the second outdoor opening 709b is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 709S2, and the third outdoor opening 709c is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 709S3. Although the opening / closing doors 709S1, 709S2, 709S3 are not particularly limited, an electric shutter device is adopted in this modification example. The opening / closing doors 709S1, 709S2, 709S3 which are electric shutter devices are configured to be controllable by an opening / closing door control unit 15.

[0154] In this modification example, the seventh building 700 configured as described above is configured such that a self-propelled service module 710 can be built in. The service module 710 includes at least a plurality of wheels, a drive unit for rotating the plurality of wheels to move the service module 710 in a traveling manner, a steering control unit for controlling the traveling direction of the service module 710, a brake control unit for controlling brakes, various sensors, a lighting device such as a headlight, and a communication module for communicating with external devices (a storage item management device 10, a server of the provider of the service module 710), and is configured to be able to self-propel on a public road. The drive unit uses electricity as a drive source and is equipped with a storage battery. The service module 710 also includes a hatch 710a provided at a position higher than the first-floor 702 and at the front end or the rear end of the vehicle body.

[0155] The service module 710 can be built into each of the first low-ceiling storage room 701a, the second low-ceiling storage room 701b, and the third low-ceiling storage room 701c. That is, the storage item management device 10 communicates with the service module 710 via a communication network. When the service module 710 approaches the seventh building 700, the opening / closing door control unit 15 controls the outdoor opening / closing doors 709S1 (709S2, 709S3) to open the outdoor openings 707a (707b, 707c). When the service module 710 detects that the outdoor openings 707a (707b, 707c) have been opened, it enters the low-ceiling storage room 701a (701b, 701c) and stops at a position where it does not contact the floor 702 protruding into the low-ceiling storage room 701a (701b, 701c). When the service module 710 enters and stops in the low-ceiling storage room 701a (701b, 701c), the storage item management device 10 controls the outdoor opening / closing doors 709S1 (709S2, 709S3) to close the outdoor openings 707a (707b, 707c). The user opens the opening / closing doors 707D1 (707D2, 707D3) from the first room 704 to open the indoor openings 707a (707b, 707c) and exposes the service module 710 on the first room 704 side. When using the service module 710, open the hatch 710a and use the inside or contents of the service module 710. Note that in this modified example, the hatch 710a is of a double-opening type, which is preferable because it does not protrude easily into the first room 704 even when fully opened. Also, the indoor opening / closing doors 707D1 (707D2, 707D3) are also folding doors, which is preferable because the protruding dimension can be suppressed.

[0156] The storage item management device 10 is communicably connected to a server (for example, the service management server 50) that dispatches the service module 710 to the seventh building 700 via a communication network. The server of the provider is managed by, for example, a business operator who provides a specific service to the user or a contractor entrusted by the business operator, and information regarding the specific service is distributed to the storage item management device 10. Note that in this modified example, it is assumed that the user receives a specific service from the business operator.

[0157] Examples of specific services include various services such as food delivery services, refrigeration / freezing space expansion services, home delivery cleaning services, garbage collection services, and flea market app item collection services. The food delivery service is, for example, a delivery service mainly for foods that are relatively easy to store. The refrigeration / freezing space expansion service is, for example, a service to meet the demand for temporarily expanding the refrigeration space or freezing space. The home delivery cleaning service is a service in which clothes to be sent for cleaning are stored in service module 710 and circulated so that the clothes sent for cleaning return in another service module 710. The garbage collection service is a service in which all the garbage discharged from the seventh building 700 is collected by service module 710 and an empty garbage collection service module 710 is returned to the seventh building 700. The flea market app item collection service is a service that stores items listed on the flea market app and ships them to the consignment agent at a predetermined timing.

[0158] In the case of any service, when storing an item in service module 710, the identification information of the RFID tag 5 attached to the item is read by the reader / writer 20, and further, the first date information is monitored by the date monitoring unit 14. Based on the monitoring result of the first date information, the timing for service module 710 to depart from each low-ceiling storage room 701a, 701b, 701c is determined, and this information is transmitted to the server of the service provider via the communication network, enabling the arrival of a new service module 710 to occur at the same timing. Also, in the food delivery service, second date information has already been added to the RFID tag 5 of the delivered food, and when it arrives at the seventh building 700, the second date information can be read by the reader / writer 20.

[0159] According to this modification example, since the service module 710 can be built into each low-ceiling storage room 701, 701b, 701c, various external services can be introduced into the seventh building 700, so that the utilization rate of each low-ceiling storage room 701, 701b, 701c can be increased. As a result, each low-ceiling storage room 701, 701b, 701c not only serves as a simple storage space but also acts as a hub connecting the seventh building 700 and the residents with external services, contributing to improving the living comfort of the seventh building 700.

[0160] [Modification Example 7] FIG. 12 is a front view for explaining an example of a form in which the first opening 807, which is the entrance and exit of the low-ceiling storage room 801, is opened and closed by the sliding door 810 with a shelf. FIG. 13 is a plan sectional view for explaining an example of a form in which the first opening 807, which is the entrance and exit of the low-ceiling storage room 801, is opened and closed by the sliding door 810 with a shelf.

[0161] The low-ceiling storage room 801 of this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the floor 802 of a specific floor in the eighth building 800 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of the floor 802 of this specific floor. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 801 is 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 801 is arranged adjacent to the first room 804 set at a normal ceiling height, and above the low-ceiling storage room 801, although not shown, an intermediate room with the intermediate floor as the floor is provided.

[0162] The first room 804, the low-ceiling storage room 801, and the intermediate room are partitioned by the first wall 806. The first wall 806 is formed with a first opening 807, which is an entrance and exit for going back and forth between the low-ceiling storage room 801 and the first room 804, and the first opening 807 is opened and closed by the opening and closing door 810. This opening and closing door 810 is the above-mentioned sliding door 810 with a shelf.

[0163] The sliding door 810 with a shelf is arranged such that the open part as a storage shelf faces the first room 804. And in a state where the first opening 807 is closed by the sliding door 810 with a shelf, the side surface of the sliding door 810 on the first room 804 side is flush with the side surface of the first wall 806 on the first room 804 side.

[0164] Further, the sliding door 810 with a shelf is configured to be movable along a sliding door rail (not shown) attached to the top surface constituting the upper edge portion of the first opening 807 in the first wall 806. As shown in FIG. 13, the trajectory of the movement of the sliding door 810 with a shelf by the sliding door rail is such that the sliding door 810 with a shelf is once pushed into the low ceiling storage room 801 and then slid laterally.

[0165] A recess 806a is formed in the first wall 806 as a holding portion for pulling in the sliding door 810 with a shelf, and the front portion of the sliding door 810 with a shelf is configured to fit therein when the sliding door 810 with a shelf is opened. In other words, by having the recess 806a, the first wall 806 has a holding wall portion in which the sliding door 810 with a shelf can fit.

[0166] According to this modified example, since the sliding door 810 with a shelf has an open part as a storage shelf on its front portion, it is possible to store other articles that are not stored in the low ceiling storage room 801. Further, a recess 806a for pulling in the sliding door 810 with a shelf is formed in the first wall 806 that separates the low ceiling storage room 801 from the first room 804 set at a normal ceiling height adjacent to the low ceiling storage room 801. Therefore, when the sliding door 810 with a shelf is opened, the dimension by which the sliding door 810 with a shelf protrudes into the low ceiling storage room 801 can be suppressed. As a result, the storage space in the low ceiling storage room 801 can be effectively utilized, contributing to efficiently managing the storage articles 1, 2, and 3 stored in the low ceiling storage room 401.

[0167] In addition, the structure of the sliding door 810 with a shelf and the recess 806a in the first wall 806 in this modified example can be applied as the structure of the opening / closing door and the first wall provided on the indoor side among the above-described embodiments and each modified example. That is, within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, the structure of the opening / closing door and the first wall provided on the indoor side among the above-described embodiments and each modified example may be changed to the structure of the sliding door 810 with a shelf and the recess 806a in the first wall 806 in this modified example.

[0168] [Modified Example 8] In the above-described embodiment, the belt conveyor 110 was adopted as the conveying device. However, including the above-described each modified example, the conveying device can take various forms. For example, a carrier-type conveying device that moves along a rail, a robot-type conveying device that self-propels on the floor surface, a crane-type conveying device that moves along a rail installed on the ceiling, and the like can be mentioned. The carrier-type conveying device includes a platform for placing the stored articles and can move back and forth, left and right along the rail. The robot-type conveying device autonomously moves using sensors installed on the floor surface and conveys the stored articles to the target position. The crane-type conveying device moves along a rail installed on the ceiling and lifts and conveys the stored articles using a suspended hook or gripper. These conveying devices are appropriately selected according to the type and arrangement of the stored articles.

[0169] In addition, as the transport device control unit 13 that controls the operation of the transport device as described above, it is equipped with specific control methods and algorithms for controlling the operation of the transport device. For example, position control using PID control (Proportional-Integral-Differential control, PID), speed control using feedforward control, and optimal path search using machine learning algorithms can be mentioned. In PID control, the operation of the transport device is adjusted based on the error between the target position and the current position. In feedforward control, the speed of the transport device is controlled based on a preset speed profile. In machine learning algorithms, past transport data is learned, and the optimal path is calculated in real time. By combining these control methods, the operation of the transport device can be controlled efficiently and accurately.

[0170] 〔Modification Example 9〕 RFID tags include "read-only type", "write-once type" that allows data to be written only once, and "read-write type" that allows data to be written and rewritten multiple times. The write-once type is used only once, for example, when transporting products manufactured in a factory to a specific destination. In the above embodiments, it is assumed that a read-only type or a read-write type is used (preferably, a read-write type is used). However, it does not limit the use of the write-once type.

[0171] As the RFID tag 5 of this modification example, a read-write type is used. The RFID tag 5 can, for example, directly use the RFID tag attached when purchased from a store selling the product. Depending on the sales business operator, even if it is a read-write type, there may be cases where a password is set for the RFID tag 5 to prevent data rewriting.

[0172] In such a case, in this modified example, as shown in FIG. 14, the tag information acquisition unit 11 of the storage item management device 10 can extract information related to the password from the identification information of the RFID tag 5 read by the reader / writer 20. That is, it is assumed that the storage item management device 10 of this modified example has password information extraction means (program). Further, the storage item management device 10 can transmit the extracted information related to the password to the vendor server 60 managed by the vendor by the tag information transmission unit 12.

[0173] Information related to password release is transmitted from the vendor server 60. The storage item management device 10 can acquire the information related to the password release and can transmit the acquired information related to the password release to the reader / writer 20. That is, the storage item management device 10 has means for acquiring information related to password release from the outside and means for transmitting that information to the reader / writer 20.

[0174] In the reader / writer 20, when rewriting the data in the RFID tag 5, first, the password of the RFID tag 5 is released by the acquired information related to password release. That is, the password is input. Then, the data is rewritten.

[0175] According to this modified example, since it is possible to directly use the RFID tag attached when purchasing from the sales store of the product, the cost for procurement and purchase of the RFID tag 5 can be reduced. Also, even when the RFID tag 5 has a password, it is possible to access the vendor server 60 to acquire information related to password release and transmit it to the reader / writer 20, so that the data of the RFID tag 5 can be rewritten after releasing the password of the RFID tag 5. Therefore, even the RFID tag 5 with a password can be reused, and the cost for procurement and purchase of the RFID tag 5 can be reduced.

[0176] [Modified Example 10] FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an example in which the storage and retrieval of stored articles (for example, the storage unit 2) are detected by a plurality of readers / writers 20a and 20b. The plurality of readers / writers 20a and 20b are provided at a first opening 907 which is an entrance / exit of a low-ceiling storage room 901 in the ninth building 900.

[0177] The low-ceiling storage room 901 of this modification example refers to a space with a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m provided between the floor 902 of a specific floor in the ninth building 900 and an intermediate floor (not shown) provided on a part of the floor 902 of this specific floor. In this modification example, the ceiling height of the low-ceiling storage room 801 is 1.4 m. The low-ceiling storage room 801 is arranged adjacent to a first room 904 set to a normal ceiling height. Although not shown, an intermediate room with the intermediate floor as the floor is provided above the low-ceiling storage room 801.

[0178] The first room 904, the low-ceiling storage room 901, and the intermediate room are partitioned by a first wall 906. In the first wall 906, the above-described first opening 907 which is an entrance / exit for going back and forth between the low-ceiling storage room 901 and the first room 904 is formed. Further, the first opening 907 is in a state of being formed between a first sleeve wall portion 906a protruding into the low-ceiling storage room 901 from one opening side edge portion of the first wall 906 and a second sleeve wall portion 906b protruding into the low-ceiling storage room 901 from the other opening side edge portion. That is, it has become an entrance / exit like a passage, which is longer not only by the thickness of the first wall 906 but also by the length in the depth direction of the first sleeve wall portion 906a and the second sleeve wall portion 906b. However, it is not limited to this, and only one of the sleeve wall portions may be provided.

[0179] The plurality of reader / writers 20a and 20b are attached to the surface of either one of the first sleeve wall portion 906a and the second sleeve wall portion 906b (the first sleeve wall portion 906a in this modification example). In a plan view, one of the plurality of reader / writers 20a and 20b, i.e., the first reader / writer 20a, is arranged on the first room 904 side, and the other one reader / writer 20b (hereinafter, the second reader / writer 20b) is arranged on the low ceiling storage room 901 side rather than the first reader / writer 20a.

[0180] By arranging a plurality of the first reader / writer 20a and the second reader / writer 20b on the first room 904 side and the low ceiling storage room 901 side as described above, when storing the storage unit 2 from the first room 904 into the low ceiling storage room 901, first, the first reader / writer 20a reads the identification information of the RFID tag 5 attached to the storage unit 2, and then, the second reader / writer 20b reads the identification information of the RFID tag 5. On the other hand, when moving the storage unit 2 from the low ceiling storage room 901 to the first room 904, that is, when taking out the storage unit 2, first, the second reader / writer 20b reads the identification information of the RFID tag 5 attached to the storage unit 2, and then, the first reader / writer 20a reads the identification information of the RFID tag 5. In short, by arranging a plurality of reader / writers 20a and 20b on the first room 904 side and the low ceiling storage room 901 side, it is possible to grasp the moving direction of the storage unit 2 while reading the identification information of the storage unit 2.

[0181] According to this modification example, the efficiency is improved in managing the stored items stored in the low ceiling storage room 901. Further, since the identification information of the RFID tag 5 is read twice at the first opening 907 which is the entrance / exit, there is also an advantage that it is easy to prevent omission of acquisition of the identification information of the RFID tag 5. Note that the plurality of readers / writers 20a and 20b are not limited to only two on the first room 904 side and the low-ceiling storage room 901 side, and other readers / writers arranged at intervals in the height direction may be provided.
