First, briefly explaining the process for a passenger to move from the departure airport to the destination airport together with their baggage, a ticket is issued to the passenger for check-in at the airport check-in counter, and the baggage held by the passenger is the passenger of the aircraft due to its volume As baggage is stored in a space separate from the boarding space, it is stored in the baggage storage space located below the passenger boarding space of the aircraft by a worker to transport the baggage at the baggage handling facility through a conveyor line, which is a separate movement from the passenger. It moves to the destination airport, and at the arrival airport, the passenger moves in the movement of people and waits at the arrival hall of the airport, and the luggage is put on the arrival conveyor by the luggage carrier at the arrival airport, You will find your luggage in the carousel at the end of the conveyor line provided in the store and move it to your final destination.

1 is a schematic diagram of a system for guiding departure baggage.

The tag information may be read through the passenger's mobile terminal 11 included in the baggage information system of the baggage tag 10 issued at the check-in counter.

The tag form of the baggage may be RFID or barcode.

The read tag information is stored in the passenger's mobile terminal 11, and the checked baggage 10 is subjected to a security check through the X-ray machine 14 to check whether there are any prohibited items in the aircraft along the conveyor line. transferred to the thread

A tag reader 12 may be installed at the front end of the X-ray machine 14 to specify target baggage during X-ray search. Based on the time at which the tag information is read by the tag reader 12, the time for the X-ray transmission screen of the baggage to be displayed and passing through the X-ray inner space after a certain time, usually several seconds, is usually 8 to 12 seconds The presence of prohibited items is checked during the baggage screen reading time, and if there are prohibited items, the user or in the case of automatic reading, a signal of the presence of prohibited items is imposed on the system as a signal and X-ray management Baggage tag information read from the front end of the X-ray by the computer 13 is transmitted to the airport management computer 101, and the airport management computer 101 performs short-distance communication when the baggage guidance method is a short-distance communication method. The tag information is transmitted in real time through the equipment 17 to the waiting room around the counter, and the passenger's mobile terminal 11 compares the transmitted baggage tag information with the tag information stored at check-in at the check-in counter and receives the stored information. If the information displayed is the same, the mobile terminal can display the screen or sound as an indication that the prohibited items are included in the luggage bag, so that the mobile terminal can quickly move to the X-ray search room to conduct an opening inspection.

In addition, unlike the above, in the case of a facility where the tag reader 12 is not installed at the front end of the X-ray and where prohibited items are checked by X-ray search, the relevant baggage is removed from the conveyor line by the worker, and the The tag information of the relevant baggage is read by the tag reader 15 for the worker's hand, and the moment the tag information is read by the hand tag reader 15, the tag reader 12 of the front end of the X-ray is sent to the tag reader 12 in real time. As in the process in which it is determined that there is an item prohibited from being brought in by Real-time baggage information can be transmitted.

In addition, if the checked-in passenger's baggage passes without any abnormality, another tag reader 16 installed after the X-ray equipment may be installed, and the tag reader 16 is abnormal in the X-ray 14 inspection result. This is a system provided to transmit baggage information information for baggage that is passed through without permission and is moved to the departure baggage handling area. At the same time as the baggage tag is read, the tag information is transmitted as the result of the search for prohibited items, but in this case, the Unlike the transmission of information about prohibited items, a separate signal is added, for example, a unified and regulated “OK” sign is transmitted in the system at the same time as the tag information, so that the mobile terminal with the corresponding tag information is signaled that it has passed without prohibited items. can be expressed as

In addition, when the X-ray 14, the front end tag reader 12 and the hand tag reader 15 when transmitting the signal that the normal passage matches the stored tag information for guiding prohibited items, the tag information of the normal passage target transmission can be excluded.

And the three types of baggage guide methods may be a guide method through the Internet (Wifi, LTE, etc.) in addition to the method through the short-distance communication device 17 .

How to guide baggage information to the passenger's mobile terminal 11 through the Internet by connecting the Internet to the airport management computer 101 or the server 100 and using the tag readers 12, 15, 16 in two or three places can be

2 is a system diagram of an Internet communication method for guiding arrival baggage. And Fig. 3 is a system diagram of a short-distance communication method for guiding arrival baggage, and Fig. 4 is a view showing an embodiment of arrival baggage location guidance. Explain.

It is possible to inform passengers who are waiting in the arrival hall of the arrival airport the time of arrival of their baggage in real time, and where the baggage is located in the carousel in real time.

A tag reader 21 capable of reading the tag of the arrival baggage may be provided on one side of the arrival conveyor line including the arrival carousel 22 .

Number information, length information, rotational speed information, and shape information of the carousel 22 including the tag reader 21 may be stored in this baggage information system in advance for each airport serviced. In addition, the information of each carousel of an airport serviceable at the same time as membership registration may be stored together in the passenger's mobile terminal 11 for using the present system.

An airport management computer 101 may be disposed for baggage guidance at the arrival airport. In this case, the airport management computer may be installed in units of airports, and since arrival and departure exist at the same time at an airport, the airport management computer 101 for baggage guidance may be used for both arrival and departure. The airport management computer 101 stores the airport's kerosene information and tag reader information, and is connected to the server 100, which is the top management device of this service, to manage kerosene information and tag reader information of each airport. It is always delivered to the server, and this service application can be updated in the terminal of each user with the latest data of the server 100 data.

The tag information of the baggage 10 read in the tag reader 21 of the front end of the carousel 22 of the arrival airport is transmitted to the management computer 101 for the airport, and the management computer 101 transmits the read baggage tag information and the tag reader By recognizing the information, tag information including the number of the carousel 22 can be transmitted to the user's mobile terminal 11 through the Internet or the short-distance communication device 17 .

The transmitted baggage tag information is subscribed to this service, and the mobile terminal reads the tag information at the departure airport with a mobile terminal. arrival time can be displayed in real time.

In addition, when there are multiple pieces of baggage at the departure airport, a plurality of pieces of baggage tag information may be stored in the mobile terminal, and the arrival time of the arrived baggage may be continuously notified in real time.

The baggage location guidance will be described with reference to FIG. 4 .

Based on the carousel number information received along with the baggage tag information, the shape of the carousel 112 stored in the mobile terminal 11 is outputted on the screen, and the length and rotation speed of the carousel are used with reference to the baggage arrival time for the baggage The position of (111) can be displayed in real time. In addition, it is possible to display the user's location 113 together with the baggage location 112 on the screen by using the GPS in the mobile terminal or the Beacon signal installed in the terminal.

Accordingly, the user can confirm the location of the baggage more reliably because the location of the baggage 10 and 111 and the location 113 of the user are displayed on the carousel 22 and 112 together. This feature often causes a problem of mistaking someone else's baggage with a similar shape, which often occurs while receiving arrival baggage, as their own. . However, since the luggage location 111 and the user location 113 of the present invention are simultaneously expressed, it is possible to solve the problem of vaguely waiting for my bag and carrying a similar bag as if it were mine. While waiting for my baggage in the form of this technology war, there was a problem that, when a baggage with the same appearance as mys arrived, I misunderstood it as mine without checking the tag information and took it with me. As there is no reason for confusion, it is possible to solve the problem of misunderstanding and receiving someone else's baggage.
