[Embodiment 2]
In the above-described embodiment, when the user of the smartphone 10 uses a plurality of washing machines, even if the smartphone 10 receives a notification from the server 30 indicating that the washing is finished, which washing machine has finished washing, the user Can not know. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a notification system 1 that can notify the user of which washing machine has been washed when the user uses a plurality of washing machines will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the smartphone in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, there are a plurality of shared washing machines, and each washing machine is given an identifier such as a tag or a two-dimensional barcode. Each identifier includes identification information, symbol designation information for designating a symbol, Is included.

  Here, the symbol is an image, a character, or a combination thereof for distinguishing identifiers from each other by the user, and the smartphone 10 and the smartphone 20 use the symbol designated by the symbol designation information on the screen of the own device. Can be displayed. In general, it is difficult for a person to distinguish a plurality of tags and two-dimensional barcodes from each other by appearance. Therefore, as in this embodiment, by including symbol designation information in the identifier, it becomes possible for the user to determine a specific identifier from a plurality of identifiers. In addition to including symbol designation information in the identifier, it is convenient to use the identifier to which the symbol itself is attached, so that the user can distinguish the identifier by appearance.

  In step S1 mentioned above, the user of the smart phone 10 starts an application and holds the smart phone 10 over an identifier. Here, the identification information acquisition unit 14 of the smartphone 10 acquires identification information and symbol designation information from the identifier.

  Subsequently, in step S2 described above, for example, when the user sets the notification destination information to an e-mail address set in the smartphone 10, as illustrated in FIG. A text indicating this ("Contact for this tag is set for this smartphone" in FIG. 5A) and a symbol designated by the acquired symbol designation information are displayed on the screen. By doing so, the smartphone 10 can notify the user that the setting of the notification destination information has been completed for the identifier including the symbol designation information among the plurality of identifiers.

  Next, in step S6 described above, the user of the smartphone 20 activates the application and holds the smartphone 20 over the identifier. Thereby, the identification information acquisition unit 24 of the smartphone 20 acquires the identification information and the symbol designation information from the identifier. In this case, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5B to 5D, the smartphone 20 displays the symbol specified by the acquired symbol specification information on the screen, so that the smartphone 20 The user can be notified of which identifier has been read.

  Further, for example, in FIG. 5B, when the user presses the “notification” button, the smartphone 20 displays the text (FIG. 5E) indicating that the notification has been completed, as shown in FIG. “Notification completed!”) And a symbol (the image of the moon in FIG. 5E) are displayed on the screen. By doing this, the smartphone 20 notifies the notification destination that the washing machine with the identifier including the symbol designation information for designating the symbol of the month has been notified to the user of the smartphone 20. Can be informed.

  Subsequently, in step S10 described above, the server 30 notifies the notification destination including the symbol designation information to the notification destination indicated by the notification destination information associated with the acquired identification information. The notification unit 16 of the smartphone 10 that has received the notification content including the symbol designation information, as shown in FIG. 5 (f), the text indicating the notification content (“washing is finished” in FIG. 5 (f)) and The symbol (the image of the moon in FIG. 5F) is displayed on the screen of the smartphone 10. By doing so, the smartphone 10 can notify the user that the washing machine with the identifier including the symbol designation information for designating the symbol of the month is finished.

  Note that the symbol designation information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 14 in step S2 and the symbol designation information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 24 in step S6 may be transmitted to the server 30. In this case, the server 30 can transmit the symbol designation information included in the identifier including the identification information acquired in step S9 to the notification destination in step S10 by associating the identification information with the symbol designation information. . Alternatively, the server 30 may record the identification information and the symbol designation information in association with each other in advance, and in this case, the server 30 does not acquire the symbol designation information, but uses the acquired identification information to send a symbol to the notification destination. Designated information can be sent.

  As described above, in the notification system 1 according to the present embodiment, by including the symbol designation information for designating the symbol for distinguishing the identifier in the identifier, which identifier of the plurality of identifiers has been notified, Can inform the user.

[Embodiment 3]
In the above-described embodiment, there is a case where a notification notifying that the laundry is finished even though the laundry is not finished is transmitted to the smartphone 10 due to an erroneous operation or mischief. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a notification system 1 capable of restricting use depending on time will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the smartphone in the third embodiment of the present invention. First, a configuration in which the server 30 does not notify the notification destination until a predetermined time has elapsed will be described.

  In step S4 described above, when the receiving unit 34 receives the identification information and the notification destination information from the smartphone 10, the receiving unit 34 starts measuring time. And in step S8 mentioned above, when the receiving part 34 receives identification information from the smart phone 20, the receiving part 34 determines whether the measured time has passed for the predetermined time. When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the reception unit 34 does not output the identification information received from the smartphone 20 to the notification data generation unit 36. For example, when the washing machine finishes washing in about 20 minutes, the receiving unit 34 sets the predetermined time as 20 minutes, and does not output the identification information received from the smartphone 20 to the notification data generating unit 36 unless 20 minutes have passed. .

  As described above, in the notification system 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the server 30 receives the identification information from the smartphone 20, until the predetermined time elapses, the server 30 indicates the notification destination indicated by the notification destination information associated with the identification information. Do not notify the notification content. Therefore, the notification system 1 can prevent notification due to an erroneous operation.

  Note that whether or not the reception unit 34 has passed a predetermined time may be determined based on whether or not a predetermined time has come. For example, when the reception unit 34 receives the identification information and the notification destination information from the smartphone 10 at 15:30, the reception unit 34 does not output the identification information to the notification data generation unit 36 until 15:50. But you can.

  Further, the time measurement is not limited to being performed by the receiving unit 34. For example, the notification data generation unit 36 may measure time, and the notification data generation unit 36 may acquire the identification information from the reception unit 34 or may not notify the notification destination until a predetermined time elapses. In addition, the time measurement is not limited to being performed by the server 30. For example, after the identifier performs time measurement and the identifier is read by the smartphone 10, the identifier is assigned to the next person until a predetermined time elapses. The structure which cannot be read may be sufficient. Alternatively, when the identifier is read by the smartphone 20, together with the identification information, the time after being read by the smartphone 10 is output to the identification information acquisition unit 24 of the smartphone 20. And the structure which does not transmit identification information to the server 30 until the smart phone 20 passes predetermined time may be sufficient. In this case, the user may be notified by displaying on the screen of the smartphone 20 that the identification information is not transmitted to the server 30 until a predetermined time has elapsed. Note that the time measurement is performed in the same way other than in the present embodiment, and is not limited to the receiving unit 34 or the server 30.

  Next, a configuration for notifying that the washing machine cannot be used until a predetermined time has elapsed when the next person uses the washing machine after the server 30 has finished the notification will be described. In step S10 described above, when the notification data generation unit 36 notifies the notification destination, the reception unit 34 starts measuring time. And when the user who uses a washing machine newly transmits identification information and notification destination information from the smart phone 20, the receiving part 34 determines whether predetermined time passed. When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the reception unit 34 outputs information indicating that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the received identification information, and notification destination information to the notification data generation unit 36. Since the predetermined time has not elapsed, the notification data output unit 36 notifies the notification destination that the washing machine cannot be used.

  For example, when the washing machine finishes washing in about 20 minutes, the predetermined time is set to 30 minutes in consideration of the time until the user takes out the laundry after washing. In this case, until 30 minutes have passed, even if the next person reads the identifier and transmits the identification information and the notification destination information to the server 30, it notifies that the washing machine cannot be used yet. FIG. 6A shows an example of a screen displayed when the user of the smartphone 20 reads the identifier 25 minutes after the previous person starts washing and the smartphone 20 receives the notification. As shown in FIG. 6A, the smartphone 20 includes a measured time (“elapsed time: 25 minutes” in FIG. 6A) and a predetermined time (“30 minutes” in FIG. 6A). By displaying the notification on the screen, it is possible to notify the user that the washing machine cannot be used now and when the washing machine can be used.

  As described above, in the notification system 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the server 30 receives the identification information and the notification destination information from the smartphone 20, until the predetermined time elapses, the server 30 is the washing machine to which the identifier is attached. The smartphone 20 is notified that it cannot be used. Therefore, the server 30 can make a user use the thing to which the identifier was attached | subjected appropriately.

  Next, a description will be given of a configuration in which an identifier cannot be reused until a predetermined time has elapsed even when the identifier can be reused. First, as a method of reusing the identifier, for example, the receiving unit 34 receives the first identification information and the first notification destination information from the smartphone 10, and the management unit 34 receives the first identification information and the first notification. Assume that management is performed in association with the destination information. After that, when the reception unit 34 receives the second identification information and the third notification destination information from the smartphone 20, the notification data generation unit 36 matches the first identification information and the second identification information. It is determined whether or not. When the notification data generation unit 36 determines that the first identification information and the second identification information match, the management unit 35 manages the second identification information and the third notification destination information in association with each other. By doing so, the notification destination information notified by the identifier can be changed to the third notification destination information transmitted from the smartphone 20, so that the identifier can be used many times.

  In step S10 described above, when the notification data generation unit 36 notifies the notification destination, the reception unit 34 starts measuring time. When the user who newly uses the identifier transmits the identification information and the notification destination information from the smartphone 20 to the server 30, the reception unit 34 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the reception unit 34 outputs information indicating that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the received identification information, and notification destination information to the notification data generation unit 36. The notification data output unit 36 notifies the notification destination that the identifier cannot be reused because the predetermined time has not elapsed. Further, as described above, the determination as to whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed by the receiving unit 34 may be made based on whether or not a predetermined time has come.

  For example, when the user of the smartphone 20 uses the identifier attached to the washing machine by the user, the predetermined time is set to 30 minutes. In this case, until 30 minutes have elapsed, even if the user of the smartphone 20 reads the identifier and transmits the identification information and the notification destination information, the server 30 manages the received identification information and the notification destination information in association with each other. Notifying the smartphone 20 that the identifier cannot be used yet. FIG. 6B shows a screen displayed on the smartphone 20 when the user of the smartphone 20 reads the identifier 25 minutes after the previous person starts using the identifier. As shown in FIG. 6B, a notification including the measured time (“elapsed time: 25 minutes” in FIG. 6B) and a predetermined time (“30 minutes” in FIG. 6B) is displayed on the screen. By displaying, it is possible to inform the user that the identifier cannot be reused now and when the identifier can be reused.

  As described above, in the notification system 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the server 30 receives the identification information and the notification destination information from the smartphone 20, the server 30 is not used until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined time is reached. The smartphone 20 is notified that the identifier cannot be reused yet. Therefore, the server 30 can make a user use an identifier appropriately.
