Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate data reading and writing by means of a display device and an input device and to facilitate data management regarding containers and contents by providing a transmitter and receiver in the container and a managing device. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 3 of a managing device (a), receiving a reading-out command or a writing-in command by an INPUT signal from an input device 5i and an outer input and output device 1, lights up a container location device 6 to turn ON a transmitting and receiving device 4a. In the case of the reading-out command, data is coded and transmitted to a container transmission (b), where the data is read out. The data transmitted from the container transmission (b) is received, decoded and stored in a storing device 2a, and the received data is displayed in a display device 5o. In the case of the writing-in command, this is displayed in the display device 5o and stored in the storing device 2a. After the storing device 2a which codes commands and transmits coded commands to the container device (b) receives a writing finish signal, the writing finish signal is decoded and a finish display is displayed in the display device 5o. A CPU 8 determines a command signal transmitted from the managing device (a) and transmits coded data or a finish signal to the managing device (a).

Furthermore, when managing a large number of containers and compiling data, labels may come off or get dirty, causing errors in the data, and there is also a great risk of mismanagement due to incorrectly attached labels.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and includes a processing device and a storage device that can control the exchange of data between a container device and a management device, thereby making it difficult to manage containers and container contents. This is an attempt to improve.

[Means to solve the problem]

The data management device of the present invention includes a first processing device in the management device and a second processing device in the container device, and the first processing device supplies power to the container device and data data. The second processing device controls a transmitting/receiving device that transmits and receives data, a storage device, and a data input/output device, and the second processing device
By receiving power from the management device and controlling a transmitting/receiving device that transmits and receives data and a storage device,
This configuration is characterized by managing data.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the overall circuit configuration of the data management device will be explained with reference to FIG.

The present invention is a data management device consisting of a management device a and a container device S, in which data is input from an external input/output terminal C to an external input/output interface device 1 and an input device 51 of the management device a. Then, the first processing device (hereinafter CP
Under the control of the CPU (called UI), a container location display device that indicates the location of the container to be managed is turned on, and then, under the control of the CPU, the transmitting/receiving device 4a modulates the transmission carrier wave with a data signal. A transmit carrier wave is transmitted at high frequency toward the container device by excitation of the coil. In the container transmission, the second processing device (hereinafter referred to as CPU2)
The transmitter/receiver 7b rectifies the mixed signal received by the coil, uses it as electric power, and at the same time demodulates the data signal.

According to the content of the received data signal, the CPU 2 decodes the container and the contents of the container, stores the data in the storage device 9b, and sends and receives necessary data to the management device a according to the content of the data signal from the management device a. It is transmitted using the device 7b. The transmitted data is sent to the CPU of management device a.
1, the data is received using the transmitting/receiving device 4a, the data is stored in the storage device 2a, and the data is sent to the display device 50 of the external input/output interface device 1.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the CPU of the management device a, and shows whether there is a read command (hereinafter referred to as a read command) or a write command (hereinafter referred to as a write command) by INPUT from the input device 51 and the external input/output device 1. If there is no command, it waits until there is a command signal, and if there is a command signal, it lights up the container location device 6 (S2), and then turns on the transceiver device 4.
Turn on a (S3).

After that, it is determined whether it is a read command or a write command (S4), and if it is a read command, the data is encoded (35), and the encoded data is sent to the container device (S4).
S6), reading data in the container device. Next, the data sent from the container device is received (S7
), decodes the data (S8), and stores it in the storage device 2a.

After that, display the received data on the display bag W5 o (SI
O). Furthermore, if external input/output terminal C is connected,
The received data is transmitted using the external input/output interface device 1 (Sll).

On the other hand, in the case of a write command, the write data is displayed on the display device 5o (512), and then the write data is stored in the storage device 2a (S13). Thereafter, the write data is encoded (S14), and the write command and encoded write data are sent to the container device (S15).

After receiving a write completion signal indicating that writing to the storage device 2a has been completed (S16), the write completion signal is decoded (S17) and an indication of write completion is displayed on the display device 5o. Further, if the external input/output terminal C is connected, the authentication information is transmitted using the external input/output interface device 1 (S19).

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of CPtJ in the container device A, in which it is determined whether the command signal sent from the management device a is a read command or a write command (S
20). In the case of a read command, the data is read from the storage device (321), and the data is encoded (322).
), and sends the encoded data to the management device a (S23
).

In the case of a write command, the data on the container and container contents is decoded (524), the data is stored in the storage device (S25), and after the data is stored, a completion signal is encoded (524).
