BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-dimensional automatic search for locations of books and document files stored in libraries and general offices, and displays the results, and the book and document files. The present invention relates to a processing device that automatically creates and classifies books and document file ledgers in which the contents and the like are described, and also automatically creates layout diagrams associated with layout changes in libraries and general offices.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 shows a conventional management state of books and document files. Conventionally, as a method of managing books and document files 16 on each book and document file shelf 14 in a library or a general office, a person manages or searches using books and document file ledges 15 and the like. The above-mentioned ledger 15 and the like have recently been input into a computer using a personal computer or the like, and position information indicating the location where each book and document file 16 is stored and unique information such as the contents of each book and document file are stored. By digitizing and incorporating it on the Internet, the system is such that the book and document files 16 can be searched within a certain range. For example, at some university libraries, we have built a system that allows users to search for information such as academic documents, general books, and specialized books that are held or stored in the libraries and laboratories on the Internet. It is open to the public. However, the actual storage of each book and document file does not always correspond to the above-mentioned computerized and searchable ledger 15, and the document files and books that are desired immediately are digitized. When searching based on 15, for example, when documents are used for design etc. and forgetting to return, or when the return place is wrong, etc. In many cases, it takes a lot of time to search for the desired document or book. Further, even if the desired book and document file are stored in a predetermined place, the predetermined place, that is, the position information is indicated by a simple number or symbol instead of the image information such as the drawing which is intuitively understandable. In many cases, it takes time to get there, and it is not a convenient system from the user's standpoint. Further, even for an administrator who manages the books and the document files 16 and the like, it is possible to make accurate adjustments at the present time such as organizing the books and the document file shelves 14 and the books and the document file shelves, and organizing the documents and the books and the document files into categories. A useful system for knowing the storage location has not been constructed yet.

Similar to the search for position information,
In recent years, various systems for tracking location information using mobile multimedia communication have been implemented and proposed by research institutes and universities. For example, IEICE Technical Research Report MoMuC2001-13 (2001-05) P9-1
5 “Location related information acquisition system using mobile Internet by acquiring location ID from IC label” and MoMu
C2001-14 (2001-05) P17 to 21 "position tracking system in physical distribution" and the like detail researched and developed technology for acquiring and tracking position information. However, these proposals are only for acquiring and tracking the position information of the moving body outdoors, and are the necessary non-moving body books indoors, especially indoors, which is the center of work such as design research work. And it is not a location information management system for document files. Further, as an indoor article management system, there are JP-A-2000-357251 "Article management system", JP-A-11-79328 "Lending storage management method", and JP-A 2000-113077 "Article management system, wireless tag, article management. Shelf "and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-28
3123 "Management system device by non-contact type IC tag system" is available, but it does not automatically detect indoor or indoor position information from the angle measurement result by detecting the direction of arrival of radio waves and accurately measuring the angle. Absent.

[0004]

As described above, the devices and systems currently researched and developed and proposed are such that the position information of a moving object outdoors can be acquired or tracked by a portable information terminal. It is a device or system for the purpose of detecting the books and document files desired and searched indoors by pinpointing the position information and the book and document files desired to be searched described above. It is not a device or system that correlates with unique information that is present, but a device or system that can intuitively grasp and understand that information with image information etc. and can search for what you are looking for in a short time Absent. In addition, in the search system used in the libraries mentioned above, not only pinpointing the position information of the books and document files being searched for, but also by associating with the unique information of the object itself, the contents and There are problems such as not being a device or system that is useful for a search that does not take much time, such as not being able to grasp classifications, and a system that does not automatically change the layout drawing when changing the layout.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and can be used in libraries, general offices, etc.
The position of each book and document file is measured, and the results are displayed in multi-dimensional pinpoints.The contents of each book and document file can also be displayed at the same time. Display and display an alarm if there is a difference in the position information and classification contents of the IC card between the book and document file bookshelf and the book and document file bookcase or the shelf contents and measure the current position of each IC card. By doing so, it is possible to automatically change the layout diagram in the office and to grasp in real time all the contents of each document file and the book and the document file IC card and the contents of the book and the document file ledger.
