  The present invention relates to an information transmission apparatus that reads and transmits information described on paper as image data, such as a FAX transmitter, and an information management system using the information transmission apparatus.

  Generally, in a construction site such as a building, various types of work are performed in one construction site, and each of the work is performed by different workers. For example, woodworking work is performed by a carpenter, and electrical work is performed by an electrician, and the work is performed by a worker who has a technique corresponding to the type of work.

  In such a work site where various workers enter and leave, it is difficult to manage the entry / exit of workers and the behavior in the work site, so which worker is working where and in the work site. It is not possible to easily grasp whether or not an accident has occurred in the work site, and it is not possible to appropriately respond.

  Here, each worker who enters and leaves the work site has a personal card printed with barcode information that can identify the worker, and a work book printed with barcode information that can identify the work contents. Prepare and send the bar code information to the host using a phone that can read / send bar code information and send it to the host when the worker performs the work. A work management system that associates and manages workers performing the work has been considered (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By using this work management system, it is possible to grasp which worker is performing what work in the work site.

In addition, the information registration unit 52 manages this information using information sent from the communication server 20.

  Hereinafter, a method for managing a worker who performs work at the work site 100 using the information management system configured as described above will be described.

  First, in the work site 100, a worker management slip is created for each worker who performs work on the work site 100.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a worker management slip created when a worker is managed by the information management system shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the worker management slip, an information entry field 101 for entering the management number, the name of the worker, the blood type, the name of the person in charge of the work, and the non-contact type IC carried by the worker. A card number entry field 102 for entering the serial number written on the card is provided.

  In the information entry field 101 of the worker management form, the management number, the name of the worker, the blood type, and the name of the person in charge of the work are entered, and the worker management form is inserted into the paper insertion section 5 of the FAX transceiver 10. .

  At that time, when a non-contact type IC card to be carried by an operator is put on the reader 7 of the FAX transceiver 10, the information reading unit 16 changes the non-contact type IC card from the non-contact type IC card put on the reader 7 to the non-contact type IC card. The serial number of the card is read out.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a non-contact type IC card carried by a worker in the information management system shown in FIG. 2, wherein (a) is a diagram showing the surface, and (b) is a diagram showing the internal structure. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a management number 104 and bar code information 105 are written on the surface of the non-contact type IC card that is carried by the worker by the information management system shown in FIG.

  In addition, the serial number of the non-contact type IC card is written inside, and the serial number is connected to the IC chip 106 so that the serial number can be read in a non-contact state. The information reading unit 16 and the antenna 107 for reading the serial number from the IC chip 106 are embedded in the information reading devices 21-1 to 21-n installed in the work site 100. Note that the management number 104 written on the surface of the non-contact type IC card and the serial number written on the IC chip 106 do not necessarily match, but the non-contact type IC card is viewed from the outside. Are preferably matched so that the serial number can be determined.

  When the non-contact type IC card configured in this way is placed on the reader 7 of the FAX transceiver 10, current flows to the antenna 107 by electromagnetic induction from the reader 7, and this current is supplied to the IC chip 106, thereby The serial number written in the IC chip 106 is read by the information reading unit 16.

  Thereafter, when the FAX number of the FAX server 40 is designated by the dial button 2, the worker management slip inserted in the paper insertion unit 5 is inserted into the FAX transmitter / receiver 10, and the worker management slip in the image reading unit 14. The management number, the name of the worker, the blood type, and the name of the person in charge of work are read as image data.

  Then, the information incorporation unit 17 incorporates the serial number read from the non-contact type IC card by the information reading unit 16 into the image data read by the image reading unit 14. In the information incorporation unit 17, the serial number incorporation position in the image data is set in advance so as to be the card number entry area of the worker management slip shown in FIG.

  The image data in which the serial number of the non-contact type IC card is incorporated in the information incorporation unit 17 is transmitted from the communication unit 18 to the FAX server 40 via the communication line 30 under the control of the control unit 19. In the control unit 19, since the FAX number of the FAX server 40 is designated by the dial button 2, the image data in which the serial number of the non-contact type IC card is incorporated by the information incorporation unit 17 is transmitted to the FAX server 40. The communication unit 18 is controlled to transmit to

  When the image data transmitted from the FAX transmitter / receiver 10 is received by the FAX server 40 via the communication line 30, the image data received by the FAX server 40 is sent to the information management server 50.

An information reading device has been installed in which the worker who is searched from the worker information database 53 and specified by the searched information is specified by the identification information transmitted together with the serial number via the communication server 20 and the communication line 30 is installed. It will be recognized that you are working in the place. In the information management server 50, as described above, the installation location and the identification information are managed in association with each of the information reading devices 21-1 to 21-n installed in the work site 100. Thereby, the installation location of the information reading device can be specified by the identification information transmitted from the information reading devices 21-1 to 21-n.

  In this embodiment, the FAX number of the FAX server 40 is designated by the dial button 2, but the FAX number of the FAX server 40 is written on the non-contact type IC card possessed by the worker, and the information reading unit 16 When the serial number of the non-contact type IC card is read out from the non-contact type IC card, the FAX number of the FAX server 40 is also read out from the non-contact type IC card and the transmission destination is designated to the FAX server 40. . In this case, the FAX number of the FAX server 40 read from the non-contact type IC card by the information reading unit 16 is notified to the communication unit 18 via the control unit 19, and the communication unit 18 sends the information to the information incorporating unit 17. Thus, the image data in which the serial number of the non-contact type IC card is incorporated is transmitted to the FAX server 40 specified by the FAX number notified from the information reading unit 16.

  Further, in this embodiment, there is one type of work management slip layout, so that in the information incorporation unit 17, the serial number incorporation position in the image data read by the image reading unit 14 is set in advance. However, it may be possible to apply forms having various layouts including a simple FAX function. In that case, it is possible to perform the same processing as described above by registering a plurality of form layout information in advance in the FAX transmitter / receiver 10 and the information management server 50, or adding an identification code that can identify the form to the form.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the information encryption unit 9 of the FAX transmitter / receiver 110 encrypts the serial number of the non-contact type IC card using the FAX number of the FAX transmitter / receiver 110, and the information management server 50 similarly 3 is decrypted using the FAX number of the FAX transceiver 110, and the decrypted information is collated with the information embedded in the image data. Therefore, the card number of the worker management slip as shown in FIG. 3 is entered. When arbitrary information is described in the column 102 and this information is incorporated into image data and transmitted, the information entered in the card number entry column 102 is not read from the non-contact type IC card. Can be recognized.

  In this embodiment, the information encryption unit 9 of the FAX transmitter / receiver 110 encrypts the serial number of the non-contact type IC card using the FAX number of the FAX transmitter / receiver 110, and the information management server 50 similarly receives the FAX. Although decryption is performed using the FAX number of the transceiver 110, it is also conceivable to encrypt and decrypt the serial number of the contactless IC card using a public key method.

  In that case, first, a private key / public key pair is generated and registered.

  Thereafter, in the information encryption unit 9 of the FAX transmitter / receiver 110, the serial number read from the non-contact type IC card by the information reading unit 16 is encrypted with the secret key. The serial number read from the type IC card and the encrypted information are incorporated into the image data and transmitted.

  In the information management server 50 that receives the image data transmitted from the FAX transmitter / receiver 110, the registered public key is acquired, and the image data transmitted from the FAX transmitter / receiver 110 is transmitted to the communication line 30 and the FAX server 40. Received by the information management server 50, the received image data is subjected to OCR processing in the same manner as described above. After that, among the information subjected to OCR processing, the encrypted information 108 is a public key. The decrypted information, the decrypted information, and the serial number 103 incorporated in the card number entry area 102 are compared. If they match, it is proved that the encryption information 108 is encrypted with the secret key, and it is confirmed that the transmission source of the image data is a predetermined transmission source.

  In the above-described two embodiments, the FAX transmitters / receivers 10 and 110 have been described as examples of information transmitting apparatuses. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a terminal that can be connected to the Internet and the terminal It is also conceivable that an information transmission apparatus is configured from a scanner that is connected to the terminal and reads information described on paper as image data, and a reader that is connected to the terminal and reads information from the RF-ID media. In that case, image data read by the scanner is sent to the terminal, information read from the RF-ID media by the reader is sent to the terminal, and the image data sent from the scanner is sent to the terminal. The information sent from the reader is incorporated, and then the image data is transmitted to a predetermined transmission destination via the Internet.
