Description

  The present invention relates to an inventory proposing device that automatically specifies an inventory time and a book shelf to be inventoried.

  FIG. 14 shows a configuration example of a conventional document management system that performs document management. 1 is a shelf for storing documents, 2 is a document stored, 3 is a document management terminal for managing documents, 4 is a gate device that separates the management area from outside the management area, and 5 is a document management terminal 3 and gate device 4. It is the management server 5 connected to.

  The operation of the conventional document management system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the inventory work when the storage target is a document.

  In S11, the person in charge of inventory determines whether or not the inventory time has come. If it is determined that the time has come, inventory is started. In S12, it is confirmed that the document 2 exists in the bookshelf 1. The confirmation is performed in comparison with a database existing in the management server 5. Subsequently, if the document 2 does not exist in the bookshelf 1, it must be determined whether or not it is abnormal (S13). If the document management terminal 3 is taken out from the gate device 4 after regular processing is performed, it can be determined that the consistency is obtained (YES in S13), but the document 2 that is not lent is confirmed. If it is not possible (NO in S13), it can be determined that there is an abnormality such as fraudulent takeout or loss, and the person in charge of inventory needs to deal with the abnormality (S15).

  In addition, these progress data are collected as a log, and have the possibility to be traced when illegal takeout is performed.

  Conventional document management systems do not always recognize a document when passing through a gate, and have security vulnerabilities. In order to make up for this, certainty is provided by taking inventory, or it is handled by combining with other security systems.

JP 2001-97510 A, paragraph 0083 JP 2001-101285 A, Claim 3 JP 2005-350205 A, Claim 7

  In the case of carrying out the former inventory, the present situation is that the timing (time) at which the inventory is carried out is determined based on an arbitrary standard. In order to immediately detect theft / loss, it is desirable to increase the inventory frequency, but this is a business burden. However, if the frequency is reduced, security will be reduced. In addition, because inventory is carried out in a state where there is a lack of reasonable grounds for taking inventory, it is possible to take inventory even if inventory is not necessary or should be carried out. There is a problem that efficient inventory work cannot be performed.

  In addition, when combined with the other security system of the latter, the advantage of using an expensive fraud monitoring device (gate device) is lost by using an expensive system or requiring complex function cooperation. Has disadvantages such as (no need).

  Ideally, it is necessary to confirm all documents for the inventory location, but confirmation of all documents is a heavy burden and there is a need to specify the inventory location.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, document management for notifying the time to inventory a book shelf group (storage cabinet group) composed of a plurality of bookshelves (storage cabinets), and specifying and notifying the book shelf to be inventoryed among the book shelf groups The system 1000 will be described.

  In the document management system 1000, the management server 5 obtains a detection signal indicating the use status from the sensor 6 arranged on the book shelf, obtains information on the access status in the management area from the gate device, and stores it in the book shelf. By acquiring the usage frequency, such as the lending and return status, etc. of stored items from the document management terminal 3, the book shelf inventory timing (time to inventory) is proposed and the execution location (book shelf to inventory) Is identified. This enables efficient inventory work. As a result, it is possible to clarify the inventory frequency, which has been a conventional drawback, and it is possible to improve security and improve efficiency such as labor reduction.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a document management system 1000 according to the first embodiment. The document management system 1000 includes a document management terminal 3, a gate device 4 (inventory proposal device), and a management server 5. The external configuration is almost the same as that of the conventional document management system shown in FIG. 14, except that the document management system 1000 is provided with a sensor 6 for detecting the use of the bookshelf corresponding to each bookshelf. . Further, the management server 5 of the document management system 1000 is different in function from the conventional management server.

(Book shelf group)
As shown in FIG. 1, each shelf 1 (storage) stores a plurality of documents 1 (storage objects) to documents n to be stored. There are a plurality of bookshelves 1 and they constitute a bookcase group (storage group). In this embodiment, a document is described as an example of a storage object, but the document is not limited to a document. The storage object may be anything as long as it is a storage target. For example, it may be a recording medium on which electronic information is recorded, or may be a precious metal or a product.

(Sensor 6)
The sensor 6 (storage sensor) detects a change in the bookshelf (opening / closing of a door, taking out a document), and sends the usage information (detection signal) to the management server 5. That is, each sensor 6 is arranged corresponding to each book shelf, detects the use of the book shelf, and outputs a detection signal (hereinafter also referred to as book shelf use information) to the management server 5. The server counts the number of uses for each bookcase.

(Outline of functions of the management server 5)

  Next, the operation will be described.

(Overall flow of inventory work)
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the entire document inventory work when the document management system 1000 is used. The document management system 1000 according to the first embodiment has a feature in the range of S1010 to S1040 in FIG. That is, the document management system 1000 is characterized in that the management server 5 automatically proposes the inventory time and the bookshelf to be inventoried. Since S1050 and subsequent steps in FIG. 4 are the same as S16 and subsequent steps described with reference to FIG. S1010 to S1040 will be briefly described.

In S1010, in the document management system 1000, the management server 5 collects “bookcase usage information, document usage information, gate passage information” which is “use information” in the management area where the bookshelf group is installed.
In S1020, based on this usage information, the management server 5 determines (determines) the inventory time when inventory should be performed.
In S1030, the management server 5 determines a location to be inventoried. That is, the management server 5 specifies the bookshelf 1 to be inventoried. A feature of the document management system 1000 is that the management server 5 proposes an inventory time and an inventory location.

(Figure 5: Usage information collection flow)
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between each piece of usage information and determination of the inventory time.
(1) shows the case of gate passing information by the gate device 4,
(2) shows the case of bookshelf usage information by sensor 6,
(3) shows the case of document usage information by the document management terminal 3.
When the management server 5 determines that any of the information in (1) to (3) has reached a predetermined threshold value for each of (1) to (3), the inventory time Is determined. Specifically, it is as follows.

(Inventory time judgment rule)
(A) The inventory time determination rule stored in the rule storage unit 56 shown in FIG. 3 includes the inventory time based on the book shelf usage information, document usage information, and gate passage information acquired by the acquisition unit 51. Rules for determining That is, the threshold value of the count number for each book shelf counted from the book shelf use information notified from the sensor 6 and the threshold value of the count number for the entire book shelf are set.
(B) As for the document usage information, a threshold for the number of times the document is processed (for example, the number of loans or the number of returns) is set for each document.
(C) In addition, a threshold value for the number of gate passages is set for the gate passage information.

(Gate passage information)
First, FIG. 5 (1) will be described.
In S101 and S102, the gate device 4 notifies the management server 5 when detecting the passage of a person. The acquisition unit 51 of the management server 5 adds the number of notifications every time there is a notification from the gate device 4, and the inventory timing determination unit 52 determines that the number of notifications exceeds a certain value, that is, exceeds a preset threshold value. It is determined that the inventory time has come (YES in S103) (S104).

(Book shelf usage information)
FIG. 5 (2) will be described.
In S201 and S202, each sensor 6 notifies the management server 5 when it detects that the bookshelf is used. The acquisition unit 51 of the management server 5 adds the number of notifications every time there is a notification from the sensor 6, and the inventory timing determination unit 52 determines that the total number of notifications notified from all the sensors 6 is greater than or equal to a certain value. When it becomes equal to or greater than a preset threshold value (YES in S202), it is determined that the inventory time has come (S203).

(Text usage information)
FIG. 5 (3) will be described.
In S301, the document management terminal 3 performs each process. “Each process” includes a document lending process, a document return process, a document discard process, a document registration process, and the like. The document management terminal 3 manages, as document usage information, information including correspondence between a document and a shelf where the document is stored, and any facts such as renting, returning, discarding, and registering the document. .
In S <b> 302, the document management terminal 3 notifies the management server 5 of document usage information. Every time there is a notification from the document management terminal 3, the acquisition unit 51 of the management server 5 adds the number of times the document related to the notification is added. If it is equal to or greater than the threshold value (YES in S303), it is determined that the inventory time has come (S304).

(Booklet usage information collection flow)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing collection of book shelf use information. As shown in FIG. 6, the bookcase use information is collected when the sensor 6 detects a change in the bookcase 1 (opening / closing of a door, taking out a file, detection of a moving object, etc.) and notifies the management server 5 (S2011). (S2012). The acquisition unit 51 of the management server 5 collects detection signals from each bookshelf and sets the detected bookshelf 1 to a status of a recommended inventory state. This information is stored in, for example, the recommended inventory storage unit 57.

(Specific flow of inventory recommended bookshelf)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the inventory location determination by the management server 5. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the process of specifying the inventory recommendation shelves with a specific example. In FIG. 8, it is assumed that there are four bookshelves (bookcases A to D),
Shelf A stores documents a1, a2, a3,
Shelf B stores documents b1, b2, b3,
Shelf C stores documents c1 and c2,
It is assumed that the bookshelf D stores the documents d1, d2, and d3.

  Bookshelf that has been used more than a certain number, bookshelf for which a certain period of time has passed since the last inventory (the grace period will be different depending on the inventor), and lending for stored documents It is determined that a book shelf that has been carried out more than a certain number is a recommended stock shelf to be stocked. If the recommended inventory shelf hits, the inventory manager is suggested an inventory location (a book shelf or a specific book shelf and a specific document on that shelf). This will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  In S401, the inventory time determination unit 52 of the management server 5 determines whether the inventory time has come. The contents of the determination are as described in FIG. In FIG. 5, the inventory time determination unit 52 determines that the inventory time of the bookshelf group has arrived (YES in S401) when it is determined that any of S104, S203, and S304 is applicable.

  Note that it is only an example to determine the inventory time based on any one of the three (1) to (3) in FIG. Either one of the two (1) to (3) in FIG. 5 is set in the inventory determination rule, and it is determined that the inventory time of the bookshelf group has arrived when one of the two is met. May be. Alternatively, only the number of times of use of the entire bookshelf (FIG. 5 (2)) may be set in the inventory determination rule, and the inventory time may be determined. Or you may advance to the process after S402 which is a process which specifies an inventory recommendation bookshelf, without making the management server 5 determine an inventory determination time. As an actual operation image, a “start inventory recommended book shelf identification process” button is displayed on the display unit 55 of the management server 5, and when this button is pressed down, the time of the inventory time determination unit 52 determines the time. Without determination, the bookshelf specifying unit 53 executes the stocktaking recommended bookshelf after S402. That is, the bookshelf specifying unit 53 determines that the inventory time has come when the button is pressed down.

(S402: Book shelf use count)
In S <b> 402, the book shelf identification unit 53 determines that the inventory time determination unit 52 has determined that the inventory time has come, and starts the inventory recommendation book shelf identification process. First, the bookshelf specifying unit 53 determines whether or not there are bookshelves in the bookshelves A to D that have a certain number of bookcase usages (a threshold value or more). As described above, the number of times the book shelf is used is counted by the acquisition unit 51 for each book shelf. Further, the determination criterion including the threshold is defined in the bookshelf specifying rule in the rule storage unit 56. In other words, the book shelf identification rule includes the “rule to specify the book shelf to be inventoried (storage) based on the book shelf use information acquired by the acquisition unit 51” (first specification rule) that defines the above processing. Is defined.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that the determination condition (threshold value) for the number of times of use of the book shelf is “20 times or more”. In FIG. 8, only the bookshelf B (80 times of use) corresponds. The bookshelf specifying unit 53 specifies the bookshelf B as a recommended inventory shelf and stores this information in the recommended inventory storage unit 57 (S406). The process proceeds to S403.

(S403: Elapsed period)
In S403, the bookshelf specifying unit 53 calculates an elapsed period from the previous inventory execution timing for each bookshelf, and compares it with the determination condition. A rule including a threshold value “within one month” as a determination condition is defined in the booklet identification rule of the rule storage unit 56. Based on this rule, the book shelf identification unit 53 identifies the book shelf C “2 months ago” from the book racks A, C, and D as the recommended inventory shelf and stores this information in the recommended inventory storage unit 57. (S406). Note that the book shelf identification unit 53 stores and holds the inventory implementation time, that is, the time when the inventory recommendation book shelf is identified for each book shelf. The bookcase specifying unit 53 also stores the time specified as the recommended inventory booklet for each bookcase.

(S404: Document processing count)
In S <b> 404, the bookshelf specifying unit 53 confirms the number of times the document included in the bookshelf is processed for each bookshelf. Then, a document whose processing count satisfies the determination condition (threshold value or more) is specified, a shelf including the document is specified as a recommended inventory shelf, and the specified recommended inventory shelf is stored in the recommended inventory storage unit 57 together with the specified document. To do. In this case, since the determination condition is “10 times or more”, the bookshelf specifying unit 53 specifies the bookshelf A as the recommended inventory shelf among the bookshelves A and D, and the bookshelf A and the document a3 (19 times of use) The information is stored in the recommended inventory storage unit 57 (S406). The number of times the document is used is counted by the acquisition unit 51 for each bookshelf and for each document. Further, the determination criterion including the threshold is defined in the bookshelf specifying rule in the rule storage unit 56. That is, in the bookcase specifying rule, the “rule for specifying the bookcase to be inventoried based on the document use information acquired by the acquisition unit 51 (second specification rule)” is defined.

(S405: Inventory non-suggestion)
The bookshelf D in FIG. 8 does not correspond to any of S402 to S403, and therefore is not specified by the bookshelf specifying unit 53. That is, it does not hit as a result of the search. Therefore, the inventory for the bookshelf D is not necessary, and the burden of the inventory is reduced.

(S406: Inventory proposal)
In S406, the recommended inventory shelf information hit in S402 to S403 and the information of the document hit in S404 are stored. The display unit 55 displays information stored in the recommended inventory storage unit 57 on the display screen.

(Weight to the added value by time zone)
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a method of weighting the addition value to be added to the count value so far according to the time zone at the time of information acquisition. The time measurement unit 54 in FIG. 3 measures time, and the acquisition unit 51 can refer to the time measured by the time measurement unit 54. As described above, the acquisition unit 51 acquires and counts the book shelf usage information, the document usage information, and the gate passage information, and as shown in FIG. 9, the usage information is weighted according to the time zone. To do. Thereby, it is possible to deal with threats according to time zones.

For example, consider the number of times bookcase A is used. The cumulative count up to the previous time is 1000 times.
In FIG. 9, the acquisition unit 51
(1) When counting 30 times from 9:00 to 19:00 on that day, the count number is added to 1000 times as it is as 30 times (addition value).
(2) When counting 20 times between 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock and 19 o'clock to 22 o'clock, the number of counts is multiplied by 1.2 by weighting. That is, 24 times (added value) is added to 1000 times.
(3) When counting 10 times between 24:00 to 6 o'clock and 22:00 to 24:00, the count number is multiplied by 1.5 by weighting. That is, 15 times (added value) is added to 1000 times.

  Alternatively, by setting the value of the inventory condition for each book shelf, the inventory frequency can be manipulated for each book shelf. This makes it possible to manage documents more effectively by using the property that documents related to documents are likely to gather, that is, documents having similar importance are likely to fit in the same bookshelf.

  In this way, the inventory recommendation function has three steps: collection of usage information, inventory timing proposal, and inventory recommendation location proposal.

  In this way, conditions for inventory proposals are defined for each book shelf, unnecessary inventory labor is reduced, and efficient management is realized. In addition, by checking the bookcase itself, it is possible to confirm a browsing act without performing the lending process (via the document management terminal 3), and even if the document is returned to another bookcase by mistake, the status of the recommended inventory status is obtained. There is an advantage that it is easy to search. Note that this recommended inventory status is canceled when inventory is executed.

  Examples are shown below. In the document management system using the non-contact communication authentication technology (RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification)), when the inventory recommendation function is used, the description in FIGS. 1 to 9 can be applied as it is. This is a system in which the document management terminal 3 manages documents using RFID. For example, a library lending / returning management system using RFID in a library. The “inventory recommendation function” is a function of the inventory time determination unit 52 and the bookshelf specifying unit 53 of the management server 5. The advantage of using a gate device in a document management system using contactless communication authentication technology is to quickly determine the presence / absence of a document and whether or not to take it out and reduce labor generated with strict security. Without the “inventory recommendation function”, there are security uncertainties due to the timing of inventory taking, which is a problem of the prior art, and the problem of frequency dilemma for maintaining security. It can be solved by “function”. In other words, security vulnerabilities due to gate use can be effectively compensated.

  Further, the “inventory recommendation function” described above can be applied to the embodiments shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram of a document management system 1010 in which a surveillance camera and an “inventory recommendation function” are linked. When the sensor 6 detects a change in the bookshelf 1, the monitoring camera 7 captures the state of the bookshelf 1. Moreover, the role of a sensor can be shared by using the motion detect function which exists in the function of some surveillance cameras. When the motion detect function for detecting the moving object in the moving image is used, it can be realized only with the cost of the surveillance camera. The merit of linking with a surveillance camera can be confirmed by an image when an abnormality occurs, and improvement in security and traceability can be expected. This is a collaboration that enables early detection of abnormalities and early identification of causes by inventory proposals. On the other hand, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of surveillance cameras to shoot a plurality of bookshelves, and in the case of large-scale management, it is necessary to manage the captured images corresponding to them, so the stored images are selected according to the inventory result. By selecting this, the burden on the administrator and the burden on the recording medium can be reduced. When the inventory recommendation function is used, it is possible to operate while considering the elements of data management by proposing inventory when the burden of stored information reaches a certain range.

  FIG. 11 shows cooperation with the user authentication system. User authentication is used when the door of the entrance / exit management device 7 and the bookshelf 1 is unlocked, and it can be managed more securely by cooperating with user authentication. By using the authority information of the user as a criterion for the inventory proposal, a more strict inventory proposal can be made.
