[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a collective packaging box (transportation box) that stores a plurality of individual packaging boxes. More specifically, the wireless tag is attached to each of the stored individual packaging boxes, and serial management of the individual packaging boxes is performed from outside the collective packaging box. It relates to the technology to be performed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, serial management of individual boxes of cameras, electronic devices, and other products has been managed using bar codes, numbers, and the like. In addition, when distributing products, it is common to handle several individual packaging boxes in a collective packaging box (transportation box). Serial management at that time is the serial number of each individual packaging box. The label is printed on the outside of the box, or a label printed with the serial number of each individual box is attached to the outside of the box for management.
[0003]
If the RFID tag is used in the individual packaging box, the serial display displayed on the individual packaging box becomes invisible from the outside by putting it in the collective packaging box, but serial management can be performed by reading with the RFID tag reader. it can. The wireless tag is an element including an IC that controls data communication, and an electromagnetic induction coil that obtains operating power of the IC wirelessly from the outside and outputs data to the outside. Such a wireless tag can be read from and written to an article without contact. Therefore, it is widely used for logistics management and warehouse management.
[0004]
Conventionally, when a wireless tag is attached to a large number of objects and these are managed, a multi-read method has been adopted. In the multi-read method, since a plurality of wireless responses cause a collision, it is necessary to take measures to prevent this. For example, in a multi-read method in a wireless tag system, there is a technology that takes a larger number of time slots than the number of read wireless tags, prevents a collision of responses from a plurality of wireless tags, and greatly shortens the reading time. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In this technology, in the multi-read state of the wireless tag system, the response is continuously returned to the reader / writer from the wireless tag in the order of the time slot. It is determined that there is no tag data, and a command for calling the next time slot number is transmitted to the wireless tag.
[0005]
Also, as an identification wireless tag, an LC resonance circuit consisting of a coil and a capacitor is provided. On the other hand, when performing communication, a resonance frequency setting circuit and time slot setting as a collision preventing means for identifying individual signals without interference from a plurality of signals A circuit and an encoded data setting circuit are provided, and further, a memory circuit for storing identification data of individual signals and a control circuit for controlling each circuit are provided, and identification data is identified by frequency, time zone, and encoding There is technology that can. This technology is a method for preventing collision of a plurality of wireless responses by a multi-read method, and is a method for identifying identification data by frequency and time zone or encoding (for example, see Patent Document 2).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a technique for performing serial management by using a wireless tag in which a serial number is recorded in an individual packaging box when a large number of individual packaging boxes are stored in a collective packaging box (transportation box). It is. Previously, the work of transcribing the serial number etc. written on the individual packaging box to the outer surface of the collective packaging box or pasting the label was performed, but this was omitted to provide technology to improve work efficiency The purpose is to do.
[0008]
On the other hand, in this case, there is provided a collective packaging box capable of serially managing the individual packaging boxes in the collective packaging box by a simple means that does not require a complicated device or procedure such as a multi-lead method.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a set packing box for accommodating transported together each individual instrumentation box fitted with radio tags for serial number management, corresponding to the respective radio tags of the outer surface of the set package box, wherein each wireless tag The collective packaging box is characterized in that an internal information management mark indicating the presence of the wireless tag is attached to the open / close side of the lid of the collective packaging box at an attachment position to prevent a response collision with Here, the internal information management mark is a mark that cannot be understood by a third party, and is hidden in ordinary characters such as a caution printed on the outer surface of the collective packaging box, for example. It is displayed in the state.
[0010]
By using the wireless tag for the individual packaging box and placing the individual packaging box in the collective packaging box, the serial display displayed on the individual packaging box becomes invisible from the outside. At this time, it is specified by printing a mark that can identify where the wireless tag attached to the individual packaging box is located at the position of the collective packaging box or indicating it by a cutting edge display so that serial management can be performed. The output of the part can be read. In addition, by specifying the portion to be read, it is possible to prevent a plurality of responses from colliding with each other, and it can be managed by a simple wireless tag reader. The internal information management mark may be a cutting edge provided on the outer surface of the collective packaging box, or may be a character printed on the outer surface of the collective packaging box.
