After the process of S1010 to S1014 is executed, the process returns to S1007, and the baggage registration screen B (408e) is displayed again. The baggage name, the user name, and the carrying condition which are input in S1010 to S1012 and the tag information read in S1013 are displayed in the baggage registration screen B. Through the above process, the process of adding, correcting, or deleting the baggage of the selected user is performed.
In the baggage registration process A (S805), the baggage management information of the baggage of all the registered users is read from the management information storage region 405a of the storage unit (S1020), and a baggage list screen A (408f) is displayed (S1021).
Then, the baggage management executing unit 403a receives the selection input for the baggage list or the icon constituting the baggage list screen 408f by the tap operation or the like of the user (S1002), and performs a process similar to the process of S1003 to S1014 of the baggage registration process B of
With the above process, a process of adding, correcting, and deleting the baggage is performed for all the users.
First, date and time information is acquired from the timepiece unit 410 (S1100), and the baggage management information is read from the management information storage region 405a of the storage unit (S1101).
Then, the tag reader unit 407 reads the tag information of the radio tag 300 for all the baggage being carried by the user (S1102), and performs a user identification process on the basis of information of the read radio tags and the baggage management information 4050 (S1103). The user identification process is to identify the user from the baggage, but it also corresponds to a case in which the baggage are shared by a plurality of users. The user identification process will be described later in detail with reference to
If the user is identified, the baggage in which the carrying condition setting of the day of the week of the date and time information acquired in S1100 is set to a flag “1” (it is necessary to carry) are compared with the baggage of the radio tags read in S1102 with reference to the baggage management information 4050 of the user. Then, a baggage which is not included in the baggage of the read radio tags among the baggage of the flag “1” is determined as the forgotten baggage (S1104). A baggage list screen C (408g) is displayed to give a notification indicating the presence or absence of the forgotten baggage to the user (S1105).
For the determination and the display of the forgotten baggage on the business trip, it is desirable that an icon of “business trip” be added to the baggage list screen C (408g) of
Then, the baggage management executing unit 403a receives an input by the tap operation or the like of the user (S1106) and executes a bifurcation process S1107 depending on whether or not a selection input for the end icon 408g3 is received. In a case in which the selection input for the end icon 408g3 is not received (No), the process returns to S1106, and the input is received again. In a case in which the selection input for the end icon 408g3 is received (Yes), the process proceeds to S1108.
In S1108, baggage checking log information is generated on the basis of an identification result of the user and a checking result of the baggage and stored in the management information storage region 405a of the storage unit. In the management information storage region 405a, log information is generated each time a checking operation is performed, and the log information is accumulated for each date for each user.
In step S1109, a management information update process is executed. In the management information update process, baggage determined to be unregistered are automatically registered, and baggage which it is necessary to carry are set automatically by the learning function. The management information update process will be described later with reference to
As described above, according to the baggage checking process of the present embodiment, in a case in which the user does not carry the baggage set to be carried, it is possible to determine the baggage as the forgotten baggage and give a notification to the user. Since the carrying condition is set in association with each day of the week and the business trip, it is also possible to cope with a change in baggage depending on a condition such as the day of the week or the business trips, and thus usability is improved.
First, a bifurcation process is performed on the basis of whether or not the registered radio tag is included in the read radio tags (S1201). In a case in which the registered radio tag is included in the read radio tags (Yes), a bifurcation process is performed depending on whether or not radio tags of a plurality of users are included in the red radio tags (S1203).
In a case in which only the radio tag of one user is included in the read radio tag (No), it is determined that the user performing the baggage checking through the apparatus for managing baggage 400 is determined to be the user in which the read radio tag is registered (S1204). In a case in which only the radio tag of one user is included, a user checking screen for identity verification (a screen conforming to
In a case in which the radio tags of a plurality of users are included in the red radio tags (Yes), a user selection screen 408h is displayed (S1205) to identify the user performing the baggage checking.
In a case in which the registered radio tag is not included in the read radio tags S1201 (No), the user registration process is performed (S1202). In the user registration process S1202, the same processing as the user registration process S804 illustrated in
In the above embodiments, the user is selected in a case in which the radio tags corresponding to the baggage of a plurality of the users are read, but the forgotten baggage determination processing S1104 may be performed for a plurality of users corresponding to the read radio tags, and the baggage list screen may be displayed for each user. Further, in a case in which the radio tags corresponding to the baggage of a plurality of users are read, a user for whom a time at which the radio tag is read is close to a baggage checking time stored as the baggage checking log information may be selected.
First, in the setting of the user registration (
In step S1303, a bifurcation process depending on whether or not an I-th read radio tag ID is already registered is performed
In a case in which the I-th read radio tag ID is unregistered (No), the unregistered I-th read radio tag is additionally registered as the radio tag of the baggage of the user identified in the user identification process S1103 (S1304). In a case in which the I-th read radio tag ID is registered (Yes), the process returns to the beginning of the loop process, and a process starting from S1303 is performed for the next parameter.
In step S1306, in the setting of the user registration (
In S1308, a process of determining whether or not a predetermined condition (a carrying requirement condition) is satisfied on the day of the week is performed for a J-th baggage. In this determination, the baggage checking log information 4051 of
In a case in which the carrying requirement condition is satisfied (Yes) as a result of determination, the carrying condition flag of the day of the week for the J-th baggage is set to “1” (S1309). In a case in which the carrying requirement condition is not satisfied (No), the carrying condition flag of the day of the week for the J-th baggage is set to “0” (S1310).
In S1311, a determination process is made as to whether or not the above-mentioned carrying requirement condition is satisfied on the business trip date. As a result of the determination, in a case in which the carrying requirement condition is satisfied (Yes), the carrying condition flag of the business day is set to “1” (S1312). In a case in which the carrying requirement condition is not satisfied (No), the carrying condition flag of the business day is set to “0” (S1313).
After the loop process from S1307 to S1314 is performed, in S1315, the baggage management information of the user identified in the user identification process S1103 is updated and stored in the management information storage region 405a of the storage unit.
According to the management information update process described above, in a case in which an unregistered radio tag is read, it is possible to automatically register it as the baggage of the user determined by the user identification process S1103, and it is possible to conveniently register a new baggage. Further, even for the baggage in which the carrying condition is not set as the baggage to be carried on a corresponding day of the week or on a business trip in advance, it is possible to determine whether or the carrying requirement condition is satisfied through the learning function, regard the baggage as the baggage to be carried out automatically, and set the carrying condition.
According to the present embodiment, since the items to be carried are set in association with each day of the week or each event, it is also possible to cope with the change in the baggage depending on the condition such as the day of the week or the event. Further, it is possible to register items with high carrying frequencies automatically as baggage to be carried on the basis of the baggage checking result, and thus the usability is improved.
In the present embodiment, a system in which an information terminal device holding user information is connected to the apparatus for managing baggage described in the fifth embodiment, and the information terminal device and the apparatus for managing baggage manage the baggage in cooperation with each other. As a result, the baggage management function can be further expanded.

The notification management executing unit 104e of the information terminal device 600 displays a user selection screen for selecting the user on the basis of the received user selection notification information (S1607). In the display unit 121 of the information terminal device 600, a user selection screen similar to that of
In a case in which there is no information terminal device that performs the notification cooperation in S1605 (No), the user selection screen for selecting the user is displayed on display unit 408 of the apparatus for managing baggage 500 (S1610). The user selection screen at that time is similar to that in
In a case in which there is no registered radio tag among the read radio tags in S1601 (No), a user registration process is performed (S1602). In the user registration process S1602, the same process as the user registration process illustrated in
With the above process, it is possible to determine the user who performs the baggage checking. In the above embodiment, in a case in which there is no information terminal device that performs the notification cooperation in S1605 (No), the user selection screen for selecting the user is displayed in the display unit 408 of the apparatus for managing baggage 400, but in a case in which there is an information terminal device that performs the notification cooperation in S1605 (Yes), the user selection screen for selecting the user may be similarly displayed on the display unit 408 of the apparatus for managing baggage 500.
Accordingly to the carrying management system described above, the apparatus for managing baggage is installed, for example, at the front door, and thus it is possible to read the radio tag information when the user passes through the front door and display the notification of the forgotten baggage notification on the cooperating information terminal device for each day of the week or each event. In other words, when an information terminal device of a parent is registered as a forgotten baggage notification cooperation terminal of a child, for example, it is possible to give a notification to the information terminal device of the parent when the child forgets carrying the baggage when going to school. Further, even in a case in which a businessman should carry objects different from ordinary objects on the business trip, if the businessman carries the information terminal device in which the schedule information such as the business trip is registered, it is possible to automatically determine the forgotten baggage associated with the business trip.
In the above embodiments, the following modifications can be made. In the above example, the schedule information of the user is acquired from the information terminal device, but the schedule information of the user may be stored in a server connected to the wide area public network 201 such as the Internet, and the schedule information may be acquired through the LAN communication unit 411a. Further, when the forgotten baggage notification screen 408k or 121h is displayed, a warning sound may be output from the audio output unit 409 of the apparatus for managing baggage or the audio output unit 131 of the information terminal device. Accordingly, even in a case in which the user forgets the information terminal device registered as the notification cooperation terminal, it is possible to give a notification indicating that it is forgotten to carry using a sound. Further, the notification may be given from the apparatus for managing baggage to a cooperating wristwatch type information terminal device by means of Bluetooth communication or the like. Further, the information terminal device that performs the schedule cooperation and the information terminal device that performs the notification cooperation may be separately registered. Further, a plurality of information terminal devices that perform the notification cooperation may be registered.
According to the present embodiment, the notification of the baggage checking result by the apparatus for managing baggage can be given to the information terminal device that cooperates with the apparatus for managing baggage. Further, since the forgotten baggage can be determined on the basis of the schedule information of the user obtained from the information terminal device, it is possible to further expand the baggage management function.
