Embodiment 1 FIG.
In describing Embodiment 1 of the present invention, first, a position information guarantee system for guaranteeing a production place and a producer of goods using a position information device 800 that obtains position information by GPS positioning will be described.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a position information assurance system according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a process flow of the position information assurance system in the first embodiment.
The processing of the position information guarantee system in the first embodiment will be described based on FIG. 1 and FIG.

  In FIG. 1, a position information device 800 is connected to a processing device 200, and the processing device 200 is installed in a work place, a factory, or the like that produces products. In addition, the management device 300 of the management center 400 certifies the production location of the product.

  In FIG. 2, first, the positioning unit 801 of the position information device 800 acquires positioning information from the GPS satellite 600, etc., measures the location of the position information device 800, and stores it as position information in the position information storage unit 891 (S101). ).

  Next, the connection acquisition unit 220 of the processing device 200 acquires the position information of the position information device 800 and the identification information for identifying the position information device via the processing device connection unit 210 and the information device connection unit 830. Further, the processing device communication unit 201 transmits the acquired position information and identification information to the management device 300 and makes an authentication request (S102).

  Next, the authentication unit 301 of the management apparatus 300 compares the position information and the identification information received by the management apparatus communication unit 310 with the identification information and the position information indicated in the management table of the management apparatus storage unit 390, and performs authentication. Authenticate if it matches the contents of the table. Further, the authentication unit 301 transmits authentication information indicating that the position information has been authenticated to the processing device 200 via the management device communication unit 310 (S103).

  Next, the information processing unit 230 of the processing device 200 receives the authentication information via the processing device communication unit 201 and outputs the authentication information. For example, a product package describing a barcode including authentication information is output (S104).

  As a result, the user can read the barcode printed on the product package and check the barcode information, thereby confirming that the product information written on the package has been authenticated.

  However, when the Service-to-Self outputs positioning information used by GPS or the like by the simulator, the position information guarantee system also stores the position information measured based on the false positioning information, and the actual information It will be different from the location. As a result, it is also possible to falsely describe the production location and producer on the product.

  That is, even if the processing device 200 connected to the position information device 800 is moved to a location different from the location recognized by the management center 400, the processing device 200 performs its function as if it has not been moved.

Hereinafter, processing of the position information sealing system will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the position information sealing method according to the first embodiment.
A position information sealing method of position information sealing apparatus 100 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when the location information sealing device 100 and the processing device 200 connected to the location information sealing device 100 are installed at a predetermined location, the location information storage unit 191 stores the location information of the location information sealing device 100 and the processing device 200 as location information. Set. Further, an allowable range in which movement with respect to the position information sealing device 100 and the processing device 200 is allowed is set as an allowable amount in the allowable amount storage unit 192.
For example, it is assumed that the location information and the allowable amount of the location information sealing device 100 are set in advance in the management table stored in the management device storage unit 390. In this case, the management device 300 is activated in the management center 400, and the storage information output unit 320 acquires the location information and allowable amount of the position information sealing device 100 from the management table stored in the management device storage unit 390. The management device communication unit 310 transmits the location position information and the allowable amount acquired by the stored information output unit 320 to the position information sealing device 100. In the location information sealing device 100, the information device update unit 160 acquires the location location information and the allowable amount received by the telemetry processing unit 150 from the management device 300, and stores the obtained location location information in the location information storage unit 191. Setting can be performed by storing the allowable amount in the allowable amount storage unit 192.
Setting of the location information of the location information sealing device 100 in the management table is performed by, for example, an administrator of the management center 400 performing GPS positioning at the location where the location information sealing device 100 is installed, and setting the measured positioning information. . In addition, the positioning information obtained by the administrator interpreting the paper map may be set. Thereby, it is possible to set position information for position verification using the position information sealing method in the first embodiment even in a place where GPS radio waves do not reach. The position information includes, for example, latitude, longitude, height, and the like.

In FIG. 4, it is assumed that the position information sealing device 100 in which position information is set in the position information storage unit 191 has been moved (S201).
In the movement amount calculation unit 110, the inertial sensor 111 detects the movement of the position information sealing device 100 and outputs the detected movement information to the movement amount calculation unit 112. The movement information includes, for example, a movement speed, a movement direction, and a movement time. The movement amount calculation unit 112 calculates the movement amount based on the movement information, stores the calculated movement amount in the movement amount storage unit 193, and activates the movement amount determination unit 120 (S202).
The movement amount determination unit 120 acquires and compares the movement amount stored in the movement amount storage unit 193 and the allowable amount stored in the allowable amount storage unit 192 (S203).
As a result of the comparison, if the movement amount is larger than the allowable amount, the movement amount determination unit 120 resets the position information stored in the position information storage unit 191 (S205).

  Since the position information sealing process can detect that the processing apparatus 200 connected to the position information sealing apparatus 100 is moved to a place different from the place recognized by the management center 400, it can be detected. The execution of the function can be stopped. For example, it is possible to stop execution of printing processing of authenticated position information. In addition, the reset value (all zeros) can be printed to disable the function.

Here, the movement detection unit 101 may reset the position information stored in the position information storage unit 191 when the inertial sensor 111 detects movement, and the above-described effect can be obtained. In this case, the position information sealing device 100 does not need to include the movement amount calculation unit 112, the movement amount determination unit 120, the movement amount storage unit 193, and the allowable amount storage unit 192.
However, by providing each unit and determining the amount of movement, the position information sealing device 100 and the processing device 200 can move within the facility registered in the management center 400 or move without maliciousity such as an earthquake. It can be accepted and the convenience of the system user can be improved.

  The above moving amount and allowable amount may be only the moving distance or may take the moving direction into consideration. For example, after moving 10 m to the east and moving 5 m to the west, the moving amount may be 15 m, the moving amount may be 5 m, or 5 m to the east. There may be only one moving distance that allows the allowable amount, or may include a moving distance that is allowed in each direction.

  Further, the position information may be reset for an event different from the movement of the position information sealing device 100. For example, the position information is reset when the connection with the processing device 200 is cut off, when the power is turned off and then turned on again, or when the battery is turned off. These reset processes can be executed by including the connection disconnection detection unit 140, the watchdog timer unit 141, the power supply unit 170, the battery 171, and the power supply detection unit 172. Thereby, the reliability of position information can be further improved. That is, the reliability of the position information sealing system can be further improved.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing of the position information sealing system after the position information reset in the first embodiment.
When there is a valid reason for moving the position information sealing device 100 such as a factory relocation, the processing device 200 that has been unable to operate normally after the position information is reset must be restored. The restoration process of the processing apparatus 200 after the position information reset will be described with reference to FIG.

It is assumed that the position information of the position information sealing device 100 is reset and the information processing unit 230 of the processing device 200 cannot perform processing such as printing (S301).
The user of the processing device 200 makes an inquiry to the management center 400 (S302).
Here, it is assumed that new location information and allowable amounts after the transfer of the position information sealing device 100 are set in the management table stored in the management device 300.

  The administrator of the management center 400 activates the management device 300. In the management apparatus 300, the communication acquisition unit 303 transmits information acquisition request data indicating an information acquisition request to the position information sealing apparatus 100 via the management apparatus communication unit 310. The telemetry processing unit 150 receives the information acquisition request data and outputs the received information acquisition request data to the information acquisition unit 152. The information acquisition unit 152 acquires information indicating the state of each unit from each unit included in the position information sealing device 100, and transmits the acquired information to the management device 300 via the telemetry processing unit 150. The communication acquisition unit 303 acquires information of each unit of the position information sealing device 100 received by the management device communication unit 310. The state of each part includes, for example, the position information stored in the position information storage unit 191, the movement amount stored in the movement amount storage unit 193, the allowable amount stored in the allowable amount storage unit 192, and the disconnection detection unit 140. Information indicating that a disconnection has been detected, information indicating that the power detection unit 172 has detected that the power is turned on or the battery has been exhausted, and the like (S303).

  The communication acquisition unit 303 refers to the information of each unit of the acquired position information sealing device 100 to determine the state. For example, it is detected that the acquired position information is reset, and it is determined that the position information sealing device 100 is in a state after movement. As a result of the determination by the communication acquisition unit 303, the storage information output unit 320 acquires the new position information and allowable amount after the transfer of the position information sealing device 100 from the management table, and seals the position information via the management device communication unit 310. It transmits to the apparatus 100 (S304).

  The information device update unit 160 acquires the position information and allowable amount received by the telemetry processing unit 150, and stores the position information and allowable amount storage unit 192 stored in the position information storage unit 191 with the acquired position information and allowable amount. And the allowable amount stored in. Further, the information device updating unit 160 updates the movement amount stored in the movement amount storage unit 193 to the initial value (S305).

  Through the above processing, the position information sealing device 100 is set with the position information indicating the location of the correct position information sealing device 100, the correct allowable amount, and the initialized movement amount, and the information processing unit 230 of the processing device 200 Normal processing can be executed (S306).

  The position information sealing device 100 and the processing device 200 can be recovered in the same manner when disconnection is detected, when power is turned on, or when the battery is detected.

  Here, by performing concealment communication between the position information sealing apparatus 100 and the management apparatus 300, the position information of the position information sealing apparatus 100 and the reliability of the position information sealing system can be further improved. For example, communication data is encrypted. The position information sealing device 100 includes the information device encryption processing unit 151, and the management device 300 includes the management device encryption processing unit 304, which encrypts data before transmission and decrypts data after reception.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the management apparatus 300 may include a charging unit 305 to charge each process of the location information sealing system. For example, charging may be performed when the position information managed by the management apparatus 300 is set for the position information of the reset position information sealing apparatus 100. The management apparatus 300 stores the member information (membership number, charging fee, etc.) to be charged in the storage unit, and the charging unit 305 adds the charging fee associated with the new process to the charging fee of the member stored in the storage unit. .

  Further, the position information sealing device 100 may communicate with the management device 300 via the processing device 200.

FIG. 6 is a time chart showing processing of the position information sealing system in the first embodiment.
Details of the position information sealing process of the position information sealing system in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

When the power supply unit 170 is powered on, the position information sealing device 100 performs a power-on reset (T1).
The system administrator obtains position information of the position information sealing apparatus 100 and the processing apparatus 200 connected to the position information sealing apparatus 100 by GPS surveying or paper map interpretation, and sets them in the management table.
The management device 300 extracts position information from the management table (T2).
The management apparatus 300 transmits the position information to the position information sealing apparatus 100 and sets it in the position information storage unit 191 (T3).

After setting the position information, the position information sealing apparatus 100 outputs the position information stored in the position information storage unit 191 in response to a call from the processing apparatus 200.
Here, in addition to the mode in which the processing apparatus 200 acquires the position information from the position information sealing apparatus 100 and uses it, the processing apparatus 200 acquires and uses the position information stored in the management apparatus storage unit 390 from the management apparatus 300. May be provided.

When “disconnection” occurs between the position information sealing device 100 and the processing device 200, the position information sealing device 100 resets the position information stored in the position information storage unit 191 and disables it (T4). .
Here, “disconnection” occurs, for example, when the connector 142 is inserted or removed.
The position information is reset by generating a position information reset pulse when the disconnection detecting unit 140 detects “connection disconnection” (T5).

Since the processing device 200 does not perform functions such as print processing by resetting the position information of the position information sealing device 100, the user of the processing device 200 makes a “not good news” to the management center 400, and the system administrator The management device 300 is activated. The communication acquisition unit 303 of the management device 300 acquires the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 152 from the position information sealing device 100 and confirms the state (T6).
Here, the user of the processing device 200 may use the processing device 200 or another communication terminal to directly send the survey request data to the management device 300 and activate the management device 300.

  After confirming the state of the position information sealing device 100, the management device 300 transmits position information indicating the location of the position information sealing device 100 stored in the management device storage unit 390 to the position information sealing device 100. The information device updating unit 160 of the position information sealing device 100 updates the position information to the normal value acquired from the management device 300 (T7).

As a result of checking the state, the management apparatus 300 outputs a reset due to “disconnection”, and the charging unit 305 performs a charging process (T8).
For example, the management device 300 may display the result on the display device, and the system administrator who views the display may report this to the user of the processing device 200. The management device 300 directly indicates the result. The data may be transmitted to the processing device 200 and other communication terminals used by the user of the processing device 200.

The movement amount calculation unit 110 of the position information sealing device 100 calculates the movement amount of the position information sealing device 100 and constantly monitors the movement amount (T9).
The movement amount may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Further, the movement amount may be calculated, or the movement amount and the movement direction may be calculated.

  When the movement amount exceeds the allowable amount stored in the allowable amount storage unit 192, the movement amount determination unit 120 resets the position information stored in the position information storage unit 191 and performs neutralization (T10).

Since the processing device 200 does not perform functions such as print processing by resetting the position information of the position information sealing device 100, the user of the processing device 200 makes a “not good news” to the management center 400, and the system administrator The management device 300 is activated. The communication acquisition unit 303 of the management device 300 acquires the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 152 from the position information sealing device 100 and confirms the state (T11).
In addition, the user of the processing device 200 may directly start the management device 300 by transmitting the survey request data to the management device 300 using the processing device 200 or another communication terminal.

  After confirming the state of the position information sealing device 100, the management device 300 transmits the position information indicating the location of the position information sealing device 100 and the allowable amount stored in the management device storage unit 390 to the position information sealing device 100. . The information device updating unit 160 of the position information sealing device 100 updates the position information and the allowable amount to the normal values acquired from the management device 300. Further, the movement amount is reset, and the calculation of the movement amount is resumed (T12).

As a result of confirming the status, the management apparatus 300 outputs a reset due to “move”, and the charging unit 305 performs a charging process (T13).
For example, the management device 300 may display the result on the display device, and the system administrator who views the display may report this to the user of the processing device 200. The management device 300 directly indicates the result. The data may be transmitted to the processing device 200 and other communication terminals used by the user of the processing device 200.
When the power supply unit 170 is turned off, the position information sealing device 100 is powered off and ends the process (T14).
