<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, FIGS. 1 to 4 are views showing a first embodiment of the opening detection container according to the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1A to 4, the opening detection container 1 stores and closes a confidential document such as a test question or a content such as a confidential sample.

Such an opening detection container 1 includes an opening 4, a flat container body 2 for storing the contents, and a lid 3 for closing the opening 4 of the container body 2, of which the container body 2 is provided. 2 and the lid 3 are integrally formed. The container body 2 and the lid 3 integrally configured in this way are made of paper or plastic such as PVC (vinyl chloride), but if the other contents are confidential samples such as reagents, they have gas barrier properties. It can also be composed of a plastic material to have.

Further, the container body 2 has a front surface base material 2A and a back surface base material 2B (a base material on the back side of the front surface base material 2A). Of these, the communication module 30 with a circuit is attached to the back side of the back surface base material 2B. Further, the back surface base material 2B is provided with a window 2a for exposing the terminal circuit 33 of the communication module 30 with a circuit, which will be described later, to the outside. The lid portion 3 described above is integrally connected to the surface base material 2A of the container body 2.

Contents such as a confidential document or a confidential sample are inserted into the container body 2 through the opening 4, and the opening 4 of the container body 2 into which the contents are inserted is closed by the lid 3. Further, a magic tape (registered trademark) 41 is provided on the front side of the back surface base material 2B of the container body 2, while a magic tape 42 that engages with the magic tape 41 of the container body 2 is provided on the lid 3. The container body 2 and the lid 3 are fixed in a closed state by the magic tape 41 and the magic tape 42, and the magic tape 41 and the magic tape 42 form a fixing means.

Next, the communication module 30 with a circuit provided on the back side of the surface base material 2A of the container body 2 will be described.

The communication module 30 with a circuit has a base material 31, a communication module 10 supported on the base material 31 and including an IC chip 12, and a conductive circuit 32 provided on the base material 31 by printing and connected to the communication module 10. .. Of these, the conductive circuit 32 includes a terminal circuit 33, and the terminal circuit 33 is exposed to the outside of the container body 2 through a window 2a provided on the surface base material 2A of the container body 2.

The terminal circuit 33 exposed to the outside through the window 2a contacts the iron conductive magnet (open / close switch) 34 provided on the lid 3 to open / close the conductive circuit 32. Here, the open / close switch is configured by the magnet 34.

Further, on the back surface of the base material 31 of the communication module 30 with a circuit (the surface facing the inside of the container body 2), a small iron piece 35 for attracting the magnet 34 is provided, and the opening 4 of the container body 2 is opened by the lid 3. When closed, the magnet 34 and the small piece 35 attract each other, so that the terminal circuit 33 and the magnet 34 can be securely closed.

Next, the communication module 10 of the communication module 30 with a circuit will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The communication module 10 identifies the opening / closing operation of the magnet 34 and records the time of the opening / closing operation in time series.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the communication module 10 capable of wireless communication described above. The communication module 10 of FIG. 3 includes an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) 12 as an IC chip mounted on a resin substrate 11, a crystal oscillator 13, a button battery 14, a speaker 15, and a resin substrate 11. It has a plurality of pads 16 formed along the long sides, an antenna pattern 17a formed along the outer edge of the resin substrate 11, and a conductive pattern 17b formed on the resin substrate 11.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram in which the internal configuration of the communication module 10 is functionalized, and the actual arrangement, size, shape, and number of each circuit component and pattern can be arbitrarily changed.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the ASIC 12. The ASIC 12 of FIG. 4 has a storage unit 21 that stores information for specifying the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing switch 33A and time information of the opening / closing operation in time series, and the storage unit 21 stores the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing switch 33A and the time information thereof. It has a control unit 22 that controls storage in series, and a wireless communication unit (output interface unit) 23 that performs wireless communication between a host computer (not shown).

The storage unit 21 stores the information that identifies the opening / closing operation of the magnet 34 and the time information of the opening / closing operation as a set.

The wireless communication unit 23 performs non-contact communication such as so-called NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth (registered trademark) with the host computer to send and receive information. The method and frequency band used by the wireless communication unit 23 for wireless communication are not particularly limited. For example, wireless communication is performed in the band of 13.56 MHz by a wireless method compliant with ISO14443, and in the case of Bluetooth, the frequency defined by the standard. Wireless communication is performed at (for example, 2.4 GHz).

Since NFC can also send and receive electric power according to the standard, it is possible in principle to drive the communication module 10 without a battery. However, since the communication module 10 of the present embodiment also includes the speaker 15 and consumes a relatively large amount of electric power, the button battery 14 is mounted on the communication module 10.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
First, confidential documents (contents) such as test questions are stored in the container body 2 of the opening detection container 1 through the opening 4, and then the opening 4 is closed by the lid 3. At this time, the magic tape 41 on the container body 2 side and the magic tape 42 on the lid 3 side are engaged with each other, and the opening 4 of the container body 2 is securely closed by the lid 3. Further, the conductive magnet 34 on the lid 3 side is provided on the back surface of the base material 31 of the communication module 30 with a circuit and is attracted to the small iron piece 35, and the conductive magnet 34 comes into contact with the terminal circuit 33 of the conductive circuit 32. The conductive circuit 32 is closed.

In this case, the closing operation of the open / close switch including the magnet 34 and the time thereof are stored in the storage unit 21 of the ASIC 12.

Next, the opening detection container 1 is carried to the test site. Then, at this test site, the lid 3 of the opening detection container 1 is opened, and the test questions are taken out from the container body 2 through the opening 4. At this time, the magnet 34 is separated from the terminal circuit 33 of the conductive circuit 32 to open the conductive circuit 32.

In this case, the opening operation of the open / close switch including the magnet 34 and the time thereof are stored in the storage unit 21 of the ASIC 12.

During this time, it is conceivable that the lid 3 of the opening detection container 1 may be illegally opened and the test questions may be taken out before arriving at the test site.

However, when the opening detection container 1 is opened illegally, the magnet 34 is separated from the terminal circuit 33 of the conductive circuit 32, and the conductive circuit 32 is opened. Also in this case, since the opening operation of the open / close switch composed of the magnet 34 and the time thereof are recorded in the storage unit 21 of the ASIC 12, it is possible to accurately recognize the unauthorized opening of the opening detection container 1.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the fact that the opening detection container 1 has been opened and the time thereof can be accurately recognized, whereby unauthorized opening of the opening detection container 1 can be prevented.

In the above embodiment, the case where the conductive magnet 34 is provided on the lid 3 and the iron small piece 35 is provided on the communication module 30 with a circuit is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the iron small piece 35 is provided on the lid 3. , The magnet 34 may be provided in the communication module 30 with a circuit. In this case, the iron small piece 35 on the lid 3 side functions as an open / close switch that contacts the terminal circuit 33 of the conductive circuit 32.
