Abstract

The information managing system includes a first antenna for identifying a first tag included by transportation means, a second antenna for identifying a second tag included by goods, a reader for generating tag information which is identification results generated by respectively identifying the corresponding tags through the first antenna and the second antenna, and a control device for mapping information of the first tag and information of the second tag based on the tag information.

Claims

1. A method for managing information when loading goods on transportation, comprising:

identifying a first tag included in the transportation through a first antenna and generating first tag information;

identifying a second tag included in the goods through a second antenna and generating second tag information;

mapping the second tag information on the first tag information and storing the mapping information; and

determining whether mapping between the transportation and the goods is executable based on the first and second tag information and where the determining includes

determining that mapping between the transportation and the goods is executable when the tag identification number identified per time from the time when the first tag is initially identified is greater than a number of times established for determining the mapping allowable state.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein

determining that the goods stand by for mapping when the second tag is identified;

and

determining that the goods are loaded on the transportation when the identifying the second tag through the second antenna is finished.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein

the first antenna operates within a first area for identifying transportation, and the second antenna operates within a second area for identifying goods, and

the first area is greater than the second area.

4. The method of claim 1, further including,

after mapping the second tag information on the first tag information and storing the mapping second tag information as mapping information,

identifying a first tag corresponding to a transportation;

searching mapping information corresponding to the transportation based on the identification result of the first tag and analyzing the mapping information;

extracting information of the second tag based on the mapping information analysis result; and

predicting goods corresponding to information of the extracted second tag.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein

the mapping information is generated by mapping the second tag information on the first tag information.

6. A system for managing information according to goods loading comprising:

a first antenna for identifying a first tag included in transportation;

a second antenna for identifying a second tag included in goods;

a reader for generating tag information which is identification results generated by respectively identifying the first tag and the second tag through the first antenna and the second antenna; and

a control device for mapping information of the first tag and information of the second tag based on the tag information,

wherein the control device determines that mapping between the transportation and the goods is executable when the tag identification number identified per time from the time when the first tag is identified is greater than a number of times established for determining the mapping allowable state.

7. The system of claim 6, further including

a display for outputting the tag information and the mapping information.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein

the first antenna operates within a first area for identifying transportation, and the second antenna operates within a second for identifying goods, and

the first area is greater than the second area.
