Plug error insertion prevention systems, plugs, plug insertion sections, plug control programs, contactless identification tag control programs, and plug insertion section control programs
First Claim
1. A plug error insertion prevention system that prevents a plug intended for use with a specified plug insertion socket of a plug insertion section from being inserted into an incorrect plug insertion socket of the plug insertion section, the system comprising:
- the plug which includes;
first identification information storage means that stores first identification information for identifying the specified plug insertion socket corresponding to the plug;
plug insertion socket information transmission means that sends the first identification information to a desired plug insertion socket;
response information receiving means that receives response information from the plug insertion section; and
plug state notification means that notifies a system user of the plug state relative to the desired plug insertion socket based on the response information received by the response information receiving means, and the plug insertion section which includes;
second identification information storage means that stores second identification information for identifying the plug corresponding to the specified plug insertion socket;
first identification information receiving means that receives the first identification information from the plug;
identification information comparing means that compares the first identification information received by the first identification information receiving means and the second identification information;
response information generation means that generates response information to the plug based on a comparison result of the identification information comparing means;
response information transmission means that sends the response information generated by the response information generation means to the plug; and
plug insertion socket state notification means that notifies the system user of the plug insertion socket state relative to the plug.

Abstract
Plug error insertion prevention systems, plugs, plug insertion sections, and programs for controlling the same are provided which are suitable for preventing plugs from being inserted in wrong insertion sockets. The plug error insertion prevention system includes a plug attached through a cable to a device, and a plug insertion section that is attached to a device. The plug is provided with a structure including a contactless identification tag and a connection section. The contactless identification tag is provided with a structure including a data reception section, a data transmission section, a data control section, a data storage section, a first state notification section, a display section, and a power generation section. The plug insertion section is provided with a structure including a data reception section, a data transmission section, a data control section, a data storage section, a response information generation section, a second state notification section, first through third display sections, and first through third insertion sockets.
