Abstract

The present invention is constructed to comprise a second storage unit which can store second progress state information that is formed by registering work progress information indicating work progress performed to the plurality of work subjects in association with each work subject; a reading unit which can read the first progress state information stored in said first storage unit of said electronic tag; a comparing unit which compares the second progress state information stored in said second storage unit and the first progress state information read by said reading unit; and an updating unit which updates the first progress state information and the second progress state information based on the comparison result obtained by the comparison unit. As a result, when multiple operators perform work to multiple work subject, operators can perform work efficiently, and an occurrence of multiplex work can also be prevented.

Claims

1. A management system which manages the progress of work performed to a plurality of work subjects, which work is performed by one or more operators, said system comprising:

an electronic tag provided for each of the work subjects; and

a portable terminal device which can be carried by the operator, said portable terminal device being communicable with said electronic tag,

wherein said electronic tag includes;

a first storage unit which can store first progress state information that is formed by registering work progress information indicating work progress performed to the plurality of work subjects in association with each work subject, and

wherein said portable terminal device includes;

a second storage unit which can store second progress state information that is formed by registering work progress information indicating work progress performed to the plurality of work subjects in association with each work subject;

a reading unit which can read the first progress state information stored in said first storage unit of said electronic tag;

a comparing unit which compares the second progress state information stored in said second storage unit (18) and the first progress state information read by said reading unit; and

an updating unit which updates the first progress state information and the second progress state information based on the comparison result obtained by the comparison unit.

2. A managing system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said updating unit includes:

a first updating unit which updates the first progress state information by registering the progress state information registered only in the second progress state information to the first progress state information; and

a second updating unit which updates the second progress state information by registering the progress state information registered only in the first updating state information to the second progress state information.

3. A managing system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said portable terminal device includes an input unit to which a work complete report, which indicates that the work to the work subject by the operator is completed, is input;

wherein said first updating unit updates the first progress state information of said first storage unit based on the work complete report input by said input unit,

wherein said second updating unit updates the second progress state information of said second storage unit based on the work complete report input by the input unit.

4. A managing system as set forth in claim 2,

wherein said portable terminal device includes an input unit to which a work complete report, which indicates that the work to the work subject by the operator is completed, is input;

wherein said first updating unit updates the first progress state information of said first storage unit based on the work complete report input by said input unit,

wherein said second updating unit updates the second progress state information of said second storage unit based on the work complete report input by the input unit.

5. A managing system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said portable terminal device includes a progress state registering unit which is capable of registering the progress state information indicating “

work in-progress”

to the first progress state information in said first storage unit to the work subject relating the electronic tag.

6. A managing system as set forth in claim 2, wherein said portable terminal device includes a progress state registering unit which is capable of registering the progress state information indicating “

work in-progress”

to the first progress state information in said first storage unit to the work subject relating the electronic tag.

7. A managing system as set forth in claim 3, wherein said portable terminal device includes a progress state registering unit which is capable of registering the progress state information indicating “

work in-progress”

to the first progress state information in said first storage unit to the work subject relating the electronic tag.

8. A managing system as set forth in claim 4, wherein said portable terminal device includes a progress state registering unit which is capable of registering the progress state information indicating “

work in-progress”

to the first progress state information in said first storage unit to the work subject relating the electronic tag.

9. A managing system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said portable terminal includes a work processing unit which performs processing relating to the work.

10. A managing system as set forth in claim 9, wherein said portable terminal includes a work information storage unit which can store information used in the work.

11. A portable terminal device, which can be carried by an operator who performs work to a plurality of work subjects, which portable terminal device is communicable with an electronic tags which are provided for the plurality of work subjects, and which has a first storage unit that can store the first progress state information formed by the progress state information indicating the progress state of work which is performed to the plurality of work subjects in association with each work subject,

wherein said portable terminal device includes:

a second storage unit which is capable of storing second progress state information formed by registering the progress state information indicating the progress state of the work performed to the plurality of work subject in association with each work subject;

a reading unit which is capable of reading the first progress state information stored in said first storage unit of said electric tag;

a comparing unit which compares the second progress state information stored in said second storage unit with the first progress state information read by said reading unit; and

an updating unit which updates the first progress state information and the second progress state information based on the comparison result by said comparison unit.

12. A portable terminal device as set forth in claim 11, wherein said updating unit includes:

a first updating unit which updates the first progress state information by registering the progress state information, which is registered only in the second progress state information, to the first progress state information; and

the second updating unit which updates the second progress state information by registering the progress state information registered only in the first progress states information to the second progress state information.

13. A portable terminal device as set forth in claim 11, comprising:

an input unit to which the work complete report is input which indicates that the work to the work subject is completed,

wherein the first update unit updates the first progress state information of said first storage unit based on the work complete report input by said input unit, and

wherein said second updating unit updates the second progress state information stored in said second storage unit based on the work completion report input by said input unit.

14. A portable terminal device as set forth in claim 12, comprising:

an input unit to which the work complete report is input which indicates that the work to the work subject is completed,

wherein the first update unit updates the first progress state information of said first storage unit based on the work complete report input by said input unit (20), and
