Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a management system for managing managed objects to which wireless tags are attached. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a method for managing the status and transportation stage of each managed object, such as a transported object, by attaching a wireless tag to each managed object and reading and writing the information recorded on the wireless tag using a wireless communication device or the like, is known.

[0003] For example, the ID reader disclosed in Patent Document 1 below reads multiple wireless tags in a batch to improve work efficiency, and by appropriately complementing unreadable IDs, it reduces missed reads during the batch reading. Specifically, when each object ID to be read is acquired so that it is assigned a read attribute based on the package ID read from a packaging RFID tag attached to a packaging material, the read rate calculated for each read attribute for each actually read object ID is compared with a minimum read rate stored as a complementation condition. If a comparison result that satisfies the complementation condition is obtained, the object ID that was actually unread is complemented with the object ID that was intended to be read, thereby reducing missed reads during the batch reading of multiple wireless tags.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-297086 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, there are cases where information on wireless tags attached to multiple managed objects is read or written collectively using a wireless tag reader / writer or the like, and cases where information is read or written individually from or to the wireless tags. Bulk writing is possible if the information to be written and the tag ID to be written are associated in advance. However, for example, when writing information about contents contained in a reusable container to a wireless tag of the container, it is not possible to associate the information to be written with the tag ID in advance. Furthermore, for example, at each stage of manufacturing, receiving, shipping, etc. of parts or products between different companies or different factories, it is not possible to associate the information to be written with the tag ID in advance unless the tag IDs are managed in a centralized manner on a cloud server or the like. In this way, when it is not possible to associate the information to be written with the tag ID in advance, it is necessary to write the information to each wireless tag one by one.

[0006] When writing to wireless tags one by one, if multiple managed devices are stacked and closely packed, there is a possibility that even if a wireless tag reader / writer or the like is brought close to the wireless tag to be written to, the data may be written to another nearby wireless tag by mistake. For this reason, even if the wireless tag reader / writer or the like is set to minimize the radio wave output from the antenna when writing to an individual tag, there is a possibility that the data may be written to a wireless tag other than the intended wireless tag by mistake, depending on the arrangement of the wireless tags and the working environment. This problem is not limited to when writing to wireless tags one by one, but is also the same when reading wireless tags one by one.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a configuration that allows a specific wireless tag to be the target of communication even when multiple wireless tags are present. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 of the claims is as follows: A management system (1) for managing a management target (10) to which a wireless tag (12) in which a unique tag ID is recorded and an information code (13) is attached, an information code reading unit (40) that performs a process of optically reading the information code; a wireless tag processing unit (30) that writes predetermined information to the wireless tag; Equipped with The tag ID of the wireless tag assigned to the same management object is recorded in the information code, When the management information to be written to the wireless tag is acquired and the tag ID is read from the information code by the information code reading unit, the wireless tag processing unit performs a process of writing the management information to the wireless tag of the tag ID. stomach, The management object is a container that contains a plurality of items, The management information is information about the plurality of items. It is characterized by:

[0009] Claim 2 The invention described in A management system (1) for managing a management target (10) to which a wireless tag (12) in which a unique tag ID is recorded and an information code (13) is attached, an information code reading unit (40) that performs a process of optically reading the information code; a wireless tag processing unit (30) for reading information recorded in the wireless tag; Equipped with The tag ID of the wireless tag assigned to the same management object is recorded in the information code, When the tag ID is read from the information code by the information code reading unit, the wireless tag processing unit reads information recorded in the wireless tag of the tag ID. stomach, The management object is a container that contains a plurality of items, The information recorded in the wireless tag is information about the plurality of items. It is characterized by: The symbols in parentheses above indicate the correspondence with the specific means described in the embodiments to be described later. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] In the invention of claim 1, the tag ID of the wireless tag attached to the same managed object is recorded in the information code attached to the managed object together with the wireless tag in which the unique tag ID is recorded. When the wireless tag processing unit acquires the management information to be written to the wireless tag and the tag ID is read from the information code by the information code reading unit, the wireless tag processing unit performs processing to write the management information to the wireless tag of the tag ID.

[0011] As a result, even when writing management information to one of a plurality of management targets, the tag ID of the wireless tag attached to the same management target can be obtained by reading the information code attached to the one management target, so that the management information can be reliably written to the wireless tag to be written. Therefore, even when a plurality of wireless tags are present in a crowded area, a specific wireless tag can be set as the communication target for writing.

[0012] especially The managed object to which the wireless tag and information code are attached is a container that contains multiple items, and the management information is information about the multiple items. Thus, even if multiple containers are placed closely together on a pallet, by reading the information code attached to the target container, information about the multiple items contained in that container can be reliably written to the wireless tag attached to the same container.

[0013] Claim 2 In the invention, the tag ID of the wireless tag attached to the same managed object is recorded in an information code attached to the managed object together with the wireless tag in which the unique tag ID is recorded. When the tag ID is read from the information code by the information code reading unit, the wireless tag processing unit performs processing to read information recorded in the wireless tag of the tag ID.

[0014] As a result, even when reading information from a wireless tag attached to one of a plurality of managed objects, the tag ID of the wireless tag attached to the same managed object can be obtained by reading the information code attached to that one managed object, so that the information from the wireless tag attached to the managed object to be read can be reliably read. Therefore, even when a plurality of wireless tags are present in a crowded area, a specific wireless tag can be set as the communication target for reading.

[0015] especially The managed object to which the wireless tag and information code are attached is a container that contains multiple items, and the information recorded in the wireless tag is information about the multiple items. As a result, even if multiple containers are placed closely together on a pallet, by reading the information code attached to the target container, it is possible to reliably read information about the multiple items from the wireless tag attached to the same container.

[0017] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of a management system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is configured as a system that manages a plurality of managed objects by using wireless tags attached to the respective managed objects. Specifically, in this embodiment, the management system 1 manages containers 10 that are shipped from a factory with parts or the like stored therein in accordance with a predetermined production plan, and is configured as a system that uses a mobile terminal 20 to write information about the parts or the like stored in the container 10 to the wireless tag 12 of the container 10 at the time of shipment.

[0018] 2, a predetermined identification tag (hereinafter simply referred to as a kanban 50) created in accordance with the predetermined production plan is attached to the side surface 11 of the container 10 to which the wireless tag 12 is attached. This kanban 50 has printed thereon character information relating to the production plan, etc., including the storage information, as well as an information code 51 recording the storage information. The storage information is information including, for example, the part number (type) and quantity of the parts stored in the container 10, customer information, etc., and can correspond to an example of "management information" to be written to the wireless tag 12.

[0019] The wireless tag 12 is an RF tag, and is configured such that a unique tag ID and the like are recorded in a read-only UII area, and any data can be written to a readable and writable USER area. In this embodiment, when the container 10 is shipped, the above-mentioned storage information is written to the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 using a mobile terminal 20.

[0020] Furthermore, an information code 13 recording the tag ID of the wireless tag 12 is attached to the side surface 11 of the container 10 in a position immediately above the wireless tag 12. For example, the same information "0011" is recorded in the information code 13 attached to the container 10 together with the wireless tag 12 whose tag ID is "0011". In the present embodiment, the information code 13 is attached to the side surface 11 located immediately above the wireless tag 12, but this is not limiting. For example, the information code 13 may be attached so as to cover the wireless tag 12, or may be printed on the surface of the wireless tag 12. Furthermore, the information code 13 and the wireless tag 12 may be attached to different surfaces of the container 10, such as one being attached to the side surface 11 and the other being attached to the opposite surface facing the side surface 11.

[0021] The container 10 configured in this manner is intended to be reused, and the label 50 is replaced depending on the items stored therein. On the other hand, the wireless tag 12 and the information code 13 are not replaced. Therefore, the content of the storage information written in the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 changes each time the container 10 is reused. Note that in this embodiment, QR Code (registered trademark) is used as the information code 13 and the information code 51, but this is not limiting, and other types of information codes, such as barcodes, may also be used.

[0022] The mobile terminal 20 is configured as a portable information reading terminal that is carried by a worker (user) and used in various places, and in addition to the function of reading and writing information stored in the wireless tag 12 using radio waves transmitted and received via an antenna as a medium, it also has the function of an information code reader that optically reads not only the information code 13 and the information code 51 but also information codes such as barcodes and two-dimensional codes, and is configured to be able to perform reading in two ways.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 3(A), a control unit 21 that controls the entire portable terminal 20 is provided within the housing of the portable terminal 20. This control unit 21 is mainly configured with a microcomputer and has a CPU, a system bus, an input / output interface, etc., and constitutes an information processing device together with a storage unit 22 that is made up of a semiconductor memory, etc. Programs and the like for executing the storage information writing process described below are stored in advance in this storage unit 22 so as to be executable by the control unit 21. In addition, as shown in Fig. 3(A), a display unit 23, an operation unit 24, a vibrator 25, a buzzer 26, an external interface 27, etc. are connected to the control unit 21.

[0024] The display unit 23 is configured as a known touch panel display device and includes a display unit configured as a known display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a transparent operation panel overlaid on the display screen of the display unit, and the display content is controlled by the control unit 21. The operation unit 24 includes the operation panel and a plurality of keys provided on the side of the housing, etc., and is configured to send operation signals to the control unit 21 in response to their operation. The control unit 21 receives the operation signals and performs an operation according to the content of the operation signals. The vibrator 25 and the buzzer 26 are configured to be controlled by the control unit 21 and each operates in response to commands from the control unit 21. The external interface 27 is configured as an interface for wireless or wired communication with external devices such as a higher-level terminal, and is configured to perform communication processing in cooperation with the control unit 21. A power supply unit (not shown) is also provided within the housing, and power is supplied to the control unit 21 and various electrical components by this power supply unit and battery.

[0025] The mobile terminal 20 also includes a wireless tag processing unit 30 and an information code reading unit 40 that function as an information reading unit that is controlled by the control unit 21 and can read external information.

[0026] First, the wireless tag processing unit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The wireless tag processing unit 30 communicates with the wireless tag 12 by electromagnetic waves in cooperation with the antenna 34 and the control unit 21, and functions to read data stored in the wireless tag 12 or write data to the wireless tag 12. The wireless tag processing unit 30 is configured as a circuit that transmits data by a known radio wave method, and includes a transmitting circuit 31, a receiving circuit 32, a matching circuit 33, etc., as shown schematically in Fig. 3(B).

[0027] The transmission circuit 31 is composed of a carrier oscillator, an encoder, an amplifier, a transmission filter, a modulator, etc., and is configured such that a carrier (carrier wave) of a predetermined frequency is output from the carrier oscillator. The encoder is connected to the control unit 21 and encodes the transmission data output from the control unit 21 and outputs the encoded data to the modulator. The modulator receives the carrier (carrier wave) from the carrier oscillator and the transmission data from the encoder. The modulator generates a modulated signal by ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation of the carrier (carrier wave) output from the carrier oscillator using the encoded transmission code (modulation signal) output from the encoder when transmitting a command to a communication target, and outputs the modulated signal to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the input signal (the modulated signal modulated by the modulator) with a predetermined gain and outputs the amplified signal to the transmission filter. The transmission filter filters the amplified signal from the amplifier and outputs the resulting transmission signal to the antenna 34 via the matching circuit 33. When the transmission signal is output to the antenna 34 in this manner, the transmission signal is radiated from the antenna 34 to the outside as a transmission radio wave.

[0028] On the other hand, the response signal received by the antenna 34 is input to the receiving circuit 32 via the matching circuit 33. This receiving circuit 32 is composed of a receiving filter, an amplifier, a demodulation unit, a binarization processing unit, a decoding unit, etc., and the response signal received via the antenna 34 is filtered by the receiving filter, then amplified by the amplifier, and the amplified signal is demodulated by the demodulation unit. The demodulated signal waveform is then binarized by the binarization processing unit and decoded by the decoding unit, and the decoded signal is output to the control unit 21 as received data.

[0029] Next, the information code reading unit 40 will be described with reference to FIG. The information code reading unit 40 functions to optically read information codes, and as shown in Figure 3(C), is configured with an illumination unit 41 consisting of multiple LEDs and lenses, an imaging lens 42, and a light receiving sensor 43 consisting of a CCD area sensor, and functions to optically read information codes 13 and 51, etc., in cooperation with the control unit 21.

[0030] When the information code reader 40 reads an information code, the illumination unit 41 first emits illumination light Lf in response to a command from the control unit 21. The illumination light Lf then passes through a reading port and illuminates the target object bearing the information code. Reflected light Lr, which reflects the illumination light Lf from the information code, enters the housing through the reading port and passes through an imaging lens 42 to be received by a light-receiving sensor 43. The imaging lens 42, located between the reading port and the light-receiving sensor 43, forms an image of the information code on the light-receiving sensor 43, which then outputs a light-receiving signal corresponding to the image of the information code. The light-receiving signal output from the light-receiving sensor 43 is stored as image data in the memory unit 22 and used in a decoding process to acquire the information recorded in the information code. The information code reader 40 also includes an amplifier circuit for amplifying the signal from the light-receiving sensor 43 and an AD conversion circuit for converting the amplified signal into a digital signal, but these circuits are not shown in the figure.

[0031] Next, in the management system 1 configured as described above, when a worker at a shipping site uses a mobile terminal 20 to write the above-mentioned storage information to the wireless tag 12 of a container 10 to be shipped, the storage information writing process performed by the control unit 21 of the mobile terminal 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in Fig. 4. Note that the following description will be given of a case in which the above-mentioned writing process is performed when predetermined items, etc. are stored in each container 10 as instructed by the attached kanban 50, and multiple containers 10 are stacked as shown in Fig. 1.

[0032] 1, when the containers 10 to be shipped are placed closely together on a pallet P and transported to a shipping area, an operator carrying a mobile terminal 20 performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 24, which starts a storage information writing process in the control unit 21. First, a reading process shown in step S101 of FIG. 4 is performed, in which the information code reading unit 40 is used to capture and read the information code 51 on the kanban 50. Next, in a determination process shown in step S103, it is determined whether or not the storage information has been acquired by the reading process, and if the reading has failed or another information code has been read, a "No" determination is repeated.

[0033] Since the worker points the reading port at the information code 51 on the kanban 50, if reading of this information code 51 is successful and the storage information is acquired (Yes in S103), the reading process shown in step S105 is performed, and processing is performed to image and read the information code 13 attached to the container 10 using the information code reading unit 40. Next, in the determination process shown in step S107, it is determined whether or not the tag ID has been read, and if the reading has failed or another information code has been read, the determination of No is repeated.

[0034] When the worker turns the reading port, which was aimed at the information code 51, toward the information code 13 of the container 10, and thus succeeds in reading the tag ID recorded in this information code 13 (Yes in S107), a write process shown in step S109 is performed. In this process, the wireless tag processing unit 30 is used to write the storage information acquired by reading the information code 51 as described above to the wireless tag 12 in which the successfully read tag ID is recorded, i.e., the wireless tag 12 attached to the same container 10 as the information code 13. Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 first transmits a predetermined instruction to the wireless tag 12 that has recorded the tag ID read as described above, and in response to this transmission, receives from the wireless tag 12 information such as the tag ID to be recorded in the UII area of ​​the wireless tag 12 and information on the length of the USER area. Next, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the storage information to be written in the USER area to the wireless tag 12 that has recorded the tag ID, and the wireless tag 12 performs a process for writing the received storage information in the USER area.

[0035] In this case, even if multiple other wireless tags 12 are placed near the wireless tag 12 to which the information is to be written, as shown in Figure 1, the tag ID is identified and written as described above, so the storage information will not be written to other nearby wireless tags 12 by mistake.

[0036] Then, if it is not determined that the process has ended because a predetermined ending operation or the like has not been performed (No in S111), the process is performed again from step S101, and a process is started to write the newly read storage information to the wireless tag 12 of the next container 10. Thereafter, when the predetermined ending operation or the like is performed (Yes in S111) by writing the storage information to the wireless tag 12 of each of the containers 10, this storage information writing process ends.

[0037] As described above, in the management system 1 according to this embodiment, the tag ID of the wireless tag 12 attached to the same container 10 is recorded in the information code 13 attached to the container 10 together with the wireless tag 12 on which a unique tag ID is recorded. When the wireless tag processing unit 30 acquires the storage information (management information) to be written to the wireless tag 12 and the tag ID is read from the information code 13 by the information code reading unit 40, the wireless tag processing unit 30 performs processing to write the management information to the wireless tag 12 with that tag ID.

[0038] As a result, even when writing storage information to one of a plurality of containers 10 closely packed on a pallet, the tag ID of the wireless tag 12 attached to the same container 10 can be obtained by reading the information code 13 attached to that one container 10, so that the storage information can be reliably written to the wireless tag 12 to be written to. Therefore, even when a plurality of wireless tags are present closely packed, a specific wireless tag can be set as the communication target for writing.

[0039] [Second embodiment] Next, a management system according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in that the information recorded in the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 is read individually for each container 10. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for components that are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0040] In this embodiment, the predetermined information to be read is storage information including the part number (type) and quantity of the parts stored in the container 10, customer information, etc., and it is assumed that this storage information has already been written in the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 in a previous process, etc. Then, using the mobile terminal 20, an operation is performed to read the storage information recorded in the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 for each container 10 individually.

[0041] Hereinafter, in this embodiment, the storage information reading process performed by the control unit 21 of the mobile terminal 20 when an operator uses the mobile terminal 20 to read the storage information of the wireless tag 12 of each container 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in Figure 5.

[0042] When the worker carrying the mobile terminal 20 performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 24, the control unit 21 starts the storage information reading process. First, the information code reading process shown in step S201 of Fig. 5 is performed, and a process for imaging and reading the information code 13 attached to the container 10 is performed using the information code reading unit 40. Next, a determination process shown in step S203 determines whether the tag ID has been read, and if the reading has failed or another information code has been read, the determination of No is repeated.

[0043] When the worker points the reading port toward the information code 13 of the container 10 and thus successfully reads the tag ID recorded in the information code 13 (Yes in S203), a tag reading process shown in step S205 is performed. In this process, the wireless tag processing unit 30 is used to read the storage information recorded in the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 in which the successfully read tag ID is recorded, i.e., the wireless tag 12 attached to the same container 10 as the information code 13. Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 first transmits a predetermined instruction to the wireless tag 12 in which the read tag ID is recorded as described above, and in response to this transmission, receives from the wireless tag 12 information such as the tag ID recorded in the UII area and the length of the USER area. Next, the mobile terminal 20 transmits a predetermined instruction to the wireless tag 12 in which the tag ID is recorded to transmit the information recorded in the USER area. The wireless tag 12 that receives this instruction performs a process to transmit the information (storage information) recorded in the USER area to the mobile terminal 20.

[0044] In this case, even if multiple other wireless tags 12 are placed near the wireless tag 12 to be read, the tag ID is identified and read as described above, so information recorded on other nearby wireless tags 12 will not be read by mistake.

[0045] Then, if it is not determined that the process has ended because a predetermined ending operation or the like has not been performed (No in S207), the process is performed again from step S201, and a process is started to read the storage information recorded in the USER area of ​​the wireless tag 12 of the next container 10. Thereafter, when the storage information is read from each of the wireless tags 12 of all the containers 10 and a predetermined ending operation or the like is performed (Yes in S207), this storage information reading process ends.

[0046] As described above, in the management system 1 according to this embodiment, the tag ID of the wireless tag 12 attached to the same container 10 is recorded in the information code 13 attached to the container 10 together with the wireless tag 12 on which a unique tag ID is recorded. When the tag ID is read from the information code 13 by the information code reading unit 40, the wireless tag processing unit 30 performs processing to read the containment information recorded in the wireless tag 12 of that tag ID.

[0047] As a result, even when reading information from a wireless tag 12 attached to one of a plurality of containers 10, the tag ID of the wireless tag 12 attached to the same container 10 can be obtained by reading the information code 13 attached to that one container 10, so that the information from the wireless tag 12 attached to the container 10 to be read can be reliably read. Therefore, even when a plurality of wireless tags are present close together, a specific wireless tag can be set as the target of communication for reading.

[0048] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be embodied as follows, for example. (1) The management system 1 according to the present invention is not limited to being employed in a system that manages the above-described containers 10, but may also be employed in a system that manages, for example, products with wireless tags attached. In such a case, the wireless tag can record information to be managed in association with the product, such as quality information about the product.

[0049] (2) In the first embodiment, the storage information to be written to the wireless tag 12 is not limited to being obtained by reading the information code 51 on the sign 50, but may also be obtained, for example, by manual input using the operation unit 24 or by character recognition of a captured image of character information written on the sign 50, etc. Furthermore, if the mobile terminal 20 is capable of voice recognition, the storage information to be written to the wireless tag 12 may be obtained in response to a voice uttered by a user, etc.

[0050] (3) The information code reading unit 40 for optically reading the information code 13 and the wireless tag processing unit 30 for reading and writing the wireless tag 12 are not limited to being integrated as one function of the mobile terminal 20 as described above, but may also be configured as separate devices having the functions of the information code reading unit 40 and the wireless tag processing unit 30.
