Each shelf 12 of the bookshelf 11 stores a book 13, and a book wireless tag 14 is attached to each of these books 13. A shelf wireless tag 15 is fixed to the front surface of each shelf 12 in which books 13 are placed.

  Transmission / reception of radio signals to / from the book radio tag 14 and the shelf radio tag 15 signal is performed directly, for example, with the cylindrical dipole antenna 16. The dipole antenna 16 is connected to a reader / writer 17 for transmitting and receiving signals via a cable 16c. A personal computer (personal computer) 18 preinstalled with application software for book management is connected to the reader / writer 17 with a cable 16c. The book management database 19 is connected to the personal computer 18.

  An operator such as a book administrator inputs data of each book 13 from the personal computer 18 in advance and stores it in the book wireless tag 14 attached to the corresponding book, and the book identification ID of the book wireless tag 14 is dipole. The book is read via the antenna 16 and the reader / writer 17, and the information of the book is stored in the book management DB 19 in association with the book identification ID. Similarly, the shelf identification ID of the shelf wireless tag 15 is read via the dipole antenna 16 and the reader / writer 17, and stored in the book management DB 19 from the personal computer 18 in correspondence with information on a predetermined field on the shelf. Is done. The shelf wireless tag stores information on the field to be placed on the shelf, and this information for the shelf identification ID is stored in the personal computer 18.

  A configuration example of the reader / writer 17 in the embodiment is shown in FIG. The reader / writer 17 is coupled to the control circuit 21 mainly communicating with the personal computer 18 by the cable 16c and the cable 16c connected to the dipole antenna 16 connected by the cable 16c at the circuit joint portion 17c.

  Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment in which the relationship between the books and the shelves is stored in the book management DB 19 and management of the taking in and out of the books will be described with reference to the drawings showing the flowcharts.

  First, a processing procedure for storing information (attributes) such as the name and content of each book in the book management DB 19 in association with the book wireless tag 14 attached thereto will be described with reference to FIG.

  When starting in S300, in step S301, an input mode initial screen is displayed as to whether reading of a book identification ID or input or correction of a book attribute (name, content, etc.) is performed.

  In the next step S302, when the above selection is made, communication for reading the book identification ID is started almost simultaneously (step S303). In step S304, it is selected whether to cancel due to an error.

  When canceling due to an error, the process goes to step S305 to read the identification ID again. On the other hand, when the reading of the identification ID is completed, the process proceeds from step S303 to step S306, and the input identification ID is displayed on the screen. If necessary, the correction is made (not shown), and the book identification ID is temporarily stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the personal computer 18 in the next step S307. In step S308, it is asked whether or not an attribute is to be input, and if so, the attribute is input or modified in step S309. When the input and correction are completed, the data is temporarily stored in the storage unit of the personal computer 18 in step S310.

  In step S311, it is asked whether the identification ID is to be read continuously. If it is read, the process proceeds to step S303, where the identification ID is read.

  In step S308 or step S311, when the attribute or identification ID is not input any further, the process proceeds to the next step S312 and the identification ID and attribute information previously stored in the personal computer 18 is used as the book management DB 19. Ask if you want to register.

  When registering the above information in the book management DB 19, the information is registered in the book management DB 19 in step S 313. When not registering in this database, it is asked whether or not to continue the input in step S314. When the input is continued, the process returns to step S301 again to display the initial input screen. If the input is not continued, the input is terminated.

  In the description of the input operation, the case where the attribute is input after inputting the book identification ID has been described. However, if the input of the attribute is selected in the selection of the input mode in step S302, the process proceeds to step S309. You can enter the attributes of As described above, the input mode of the identification ID and the attribute can be switched in the input mode.

  Further, when the input of the identification ID is not continued in step S305, the process proceeds to step S314 to ask whether the input is to be ended. If it is desired to input an attribute here, it is sufficient to go to the initial screen in step S301 and select the attribute input in step S302.

  In this way, by inputting from a personal computer or the like, in the book management DB 19, information about the book can be registered as an attribute as an attribute corresponding to the book identification ID as shown in FIG. 4. 4, 41 is a serial number of a book, 42a is information on an identification ID (book identification ID) of a book wireless tag attached to the book, and 42b is a shelf wireless tag attached to each shelf 12 of the bookshelf 11. Information of identification ID (shelf identification ID), 43a is information on the location of the bookshelf storing books and books on the floor, and 43b is the shelf number in the bookshelf where the books are placed. 44 is the name of a book, 45 is information about the author and editor of the book, 46 is price information about the book, 47 is information such as the date of receipt, and 48 is information such as the date of delivery.

  Thus, information related to the book is stored in the book management DB in correspondence with the book identification ID. Similarly, for each shelf 12 of the bookshelf 11, shelf information corresponding to the shelf identification ID is stored in the DB.

  By the way, according to the book identification ID of each book, the attribute of the book is stored in the book management database. The book attribute includes the absolute attribute information that hardly changes such as the name and content of the book, and which bookshelf. There is relative attribute information that can be changed, such as which shelf of the shelf. The latter relative attribute information is related to the field of the book to be stored on the shelf by the shelf wireless tag 15 attached to the shelf of the book shelf (this field and the position of the book shelf correspond to each other). It is read by the reader / writer 17 via the antenna 16 to determine where the book should be placed and stored in the book management DB 19.

  Next, processing for searching for a shelf on which a book is placed using the book management DB in which the attribute of the book is stored for the book identification ID as described above will be described with reference to FIG. When starting, an initial screen for searching is displayed on the personal computer 18 in step S501. In this screen, search conditions are input in step S502. This search condition is absolute attribute information as described above, which is usually included in each book itself, such as the name and content of the book, the author, and the publisher, and hardly changes.

  For example, when the operator inputs, for example, the name of a book to be searched for as a search condition to the personal computer, the search condition is sent to the book management DB 19 and the search process is executed in the next step S503. In the next step S504, it is checked whether the search result is 1 or 0. If it is 1, one of the search results is displayed on the personal computer screen in the next step S505. This search result displays which shelves on which bookshelves on which floors. On the other hand, if the search result is 0, a message to that effect is displayed on the display screen, for example, “No corresponding book is found”.

  If there are two or more books that satisfy the conditions as a result of the search, a message to that effect is displayed in step S506 and a search condition is added. If this additional condition has been input or if it is checked and input in step S507, the process returns to step S503 and the search process is performed again.

  If no additional condition is input, the process goes to step S505. After the search result is displayed on the screen in step S505, an inquiry is made as to whether or not the search is performed again in step S508. If the operator wants to search again, the operator returns to step S501 again to display an initial screen for searching.

  Note that if there are a plurality of search results in step S504, the absolute attribute information of all the corresponding books is displayed, the book to be searched for is selected, and then the relative attribute information of the selected book is searched. It can also be displayed as a result.

  In this way, there is an advantage that a book to be searched can be quickly found without inputting additional conditions.

  In addition, as described above, the attribute input as a search condition for a book is usually absolute attribute information such as a name, and the information of the book displayed as a search result is a location such as a bookshelf where the book is placed. Relative attribute information. Therefore, in the above embodiment of the present invention, at least relative attribute information may be displayed as a search result.

  In addition, the layout of the floor in which each book is stored and the arrangement of the bookshelf on each floor are input to the personal computer 18 in advance, and the book shelf with the book obtained as described above and the number of the shelf are linked. Then, if it is displayed on the screen of the personal computer 18, the effect of easily and intuitively understanding the existence of the book can be obtained.

  Next, the operation in the case of managing the storage and delivery of books in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  First, when starting (S600), an initial screen for entry / exit registration is displayed on the personal computer 18 in step S601. Therefore, the book identification ID stored in the book wireless tag is read by bringing the dipole antenna 16 close to the book to be loaded or unloaded (step S602).

  Next, it is checked whether or not to cancel the communication (step S603). If the communication is continued, the book identification ID of the book is displayed on the screen of the personal computer 18 in the next step S604. On the other hand, when canceling due to an error such as communication and continuing the work again, the process returns to step S601 in step S605 to display the initial screen again. On the other hand, when the operation is interrupted, the process proceeds to step S609.

  After the identification ID is displayed in step S604, a warehousing process or a publishing process for the book is performed in step S606, and it is asked whether the process is registered in the book management DB 19 in step S607.

  If the operator desires that the process be registered, the warehousing process or the publishing process for the book is registered in the book management DB 19 in step S608.

  After this, and when not continuing at step S605 and when not registering at step S607, the process proceeds to step S609 and asks whether another loading / unloading process is performed. When another entry / exit process is performed, the process returns to step S601 again to display the initial screen and the entry / exit process is performed in the same manner. On the other hand, when another entry / exit process is not performed, all the processes are terminated.

  In this way, the warehousing and evacuation processing of books can be performed.

  Next, in the above-described embodiment, an operation when performing inventory of books will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when starting (S700), an initial screen for inventory is displayed in step S701. When performing inventory, in the next step S702, communication is performed with a dipole antenna, and the identification IDs of the book wireless tags attached to the books to be inventoried in the corresponding shelf are read in a lump, and those IDs are read in step S703. A list of identification IDs of books to be inspected is displayed on the screen of the personal computer 18.

  Next, the operator examines the book management DB 19 based on the management software installed on the personal computer 18 and compares the books on each shelf with the books on each shelf left at the time of the previous inventory. The book on the corresponding shelf is actually collated (step S705), and the result is displayed on the screen of the personal computer 18 in step S705.

  Information on the comparison result is inquired and registered in step S706, and is registered in the book management DB 19 in step S707. After registering the inventory result in this way and when not registering in step S706, an inquiry is made as to whether another inventory should be performed in step S708. When performing another inventory, the process returns to step S701 again to display the initial screen. When another inventory is not performed, all are finished.

  In this way, it is possible to check the status of inventory in a certain period by a series of processes.

  In the comparison result of the inventory information, for example, it is possible to grasp even when the book is moved from the bookshelf that was at the time of the previous processing to another book shelf by a third party, and the operation of returning the book to the original place is also possible. Although it is possible, it is also possible to place the book in the current location as it is and store and manage the status as it is in the book management DB.

  In the above embodiment of the present invention, the reader / writer is provided with an LED and a speaker. However, the present invention is not limited to LEDs and speakers, and may be a light emitter that emits light at the time of response or a sound source that emits sound. Thus, if light or sound is emitted at the time of response, there is an advantage that an accurate processing state can be transmitted to the operator.

  Further, as described above, when the dipole antenna 16 is used for transmission / reception with a book wireless tag or shelf wireless tag attached to a book, this type of antenna is omnidirectional in transmitting / receiving radio waves, and the book 13 or shelf Since the wireless tag attached to the 12 predetermined locations is most excellent in communication, signals can be easily transmitted and received.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case where a wireless tag is attached to a book and database management is performed using the identification ID of the wireless tag has been described. However, the object to which the wireless tag is pasted is not limited to a book, but may be a document, a pamphlet, or the like, and is not limited to a paper or plastic material.

  In the above embodiment, the personal computer and the case where the book management DB is connected to the personal computer have been described. However, the computer is not limited to the personal computer, and any computer may be used. It may be included.

  In the above embodiment, the reader / writer is provided separately from the dipole antenna and the personal computer. However, the reader / writer may be built in the dipole antenna or the personal computer.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the wireless tag is fixed to the article itself such as a book has been described. In this case, the information written in the database or the wireless tag is usually divided into absolute attribute information and relative attribute information as described above.

  However, the book is arranged such that the first wireless tag is attached to the container in which the article is placed as in the case where the wireless tag is fixed to the container as a holder in which a document or the like is put and the holder is placed on a predetermined shelf. The invention can be applied.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a radio tag 82 may be attached to a radiographic bag 81 used in a medical facility, and such a radiographic bag 81 may be placed on a predetermined shelf. In such a case, the wireless tag 82 also has absolute attribute information indicating the attribute of the bag itself, but in addition to the relative attribute information of the place indicating the shelf, the wireless tag 82 is put in the bag. Relative attribute information indicating the contents that are displayed becomes important, and only such relative attribute information may be stored in the wireless tag 82. In such a case, when the X-ray photograph put in is changed, the attribute information stored in the wireless tag 82 is rewritten accordingly.

  In addition, a plurality of X-ray photo bags as described above may be placed in a folder box. In this case, the folder box becomes a container, and the first wireless tag can be attached thereto.

  By the way, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which one dipole antenna is used for one reader / writer and transmission / reception is performed with a wireless tag attached to a book and a bookshelf.

  However, the present invention is not limited to the case where a single reader / writer is used. When a plurality of bookshelves are provided in a wide range, reader / writers are installed at a plurality of locations and connected to the reader / writers. A plurality of dipole antennas can be used, or a dipole antenna can be connected to a plurality of connectors connected to the reader / writer.

  FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of another embodiment of the present invention in which a plurality of reader / writers are installed. In this example, a plurality of reader / writers 94 are connected to a personal computer 92 connected to the book management DB 91 via a connector 93 having a branch function, and a plurality of dipole antennas 16 are connected to each of these reader / writers 94. ing. Therefore, when reading the information attached to the wireless tag of each book or the information of the wireless tag attached to the shelf, the dipole antenna 16 placed in the place closest to the place where the book or shelf is located is used. be able to.

  In this way, it is not necessary to carry the reader / writer and dipole antenna connected to the personal computer to the place where the book is, and the book can be easily transmitted and received with the wireless tag on the shelf.

The present invention can also be configured as shown in FIG. In this case,
A plurality of reader / writers 104 are connected to a personal computer 102 connected to the book management DB 101 via a connector 103 having a branch function, and an antenna connector 105 is installed in each of these reader / writers 104. The dipole antenna 16 can be attached to and detached from these antenna connectors 105.

  In this embodiment of the present invention, one dipole antenna 16 is held, a book or shelf where data is to be input / output is located near the place, and the dipole antenna 16 brought is connected to the antenna connector 105 located nearby. By inserting, it is possible to perform transmission / reception with a nearby shelf and a wireless tag attached to a book.

  According to this embodiment, even if books are placed on a large number of shelves and installed in a wide range, the number of antennas used is small, and there is an advantage that an inexpensive system can be constructed as a whole.

  In the above-described embodiment, information read by the wireless tag of the book or the wireless tag of the shelf can be displayed on the reader / writer. An example is shown in FIG. In this figure, a reader / writer 111 can be accommodated in a shelf 112 in the same manner as a book 113. A terminal of the dipole antenna 16 can be inserted into the connector part 114 of the reader / writer 111. When information is read from the dipole antenna 16, the display lamp 115 is turned on and the content is displayed on the display part 116. In addition, a sound that informs the completion of reading of information from the speaker unit 117 is emitted. A power switch 118 can be turned off when the reader / writer 111 is not used.

  If such a reader / writer is used, there is an advantage that it can be accommodated in a shelf and the information read by the wireless tag can be confirmed from the front.
