実施形態のカートリッジシステムの構成概念図の一例である。1 is an example of a configuration conceptual diagram of a cartridge system of an embodiment.

以下、本発明の一実施の形態について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

図１は実施形態のカートリッジシステムの構成概念図の一例である。例えば、カートリッジシステムは、カートリッジ１、装置２、及びＩＣチップ部１０から構成され、ＩＣチップ部１０はカートリッジ１に組み込んで用いられ、識別情報が記憶（設定）され、数量情報及び判定用数値情報を記憶し、カートリッジ１は消耗品カートリッジであり、装置２は印刷装置であり、数量情報は消耗品の残量情報と使用量情報などであり、数量情報は残量情報または使用量情報のどちらか一方としてもよい。また、装置２をレーザー・プリンタとした場合に、カートリッジ１をトナーなどの廃棄物や資源の回収カートリッジとしてもよく、そして、例えば、以降のＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報を廃棄物や資源の回収可能数量に読み替え、使用量情報を廃棄物や資源の回収数量に読み替え適宜変更すればよい。カートリッジシステムは、印刷装置以外の装置及び／又は消耗品カートリッジ以外のカートリッジに適用してもよい、例として、冷蔵庫と脱臭剤カートリッジ、洗濯機と柔軟剤カートリッジなどが挙げられる。   FIG. 1 is an example of a configuration conceptual diagram of the cartridge system of the embodiment. For example, the cartridge system includes a cartridge 1, a device 2, and an IC chip unit 10. The IC chip unit 10 is used by being incorporated in the cartridge 1, identification information is stored (set), quantity information, and numerical information for determination The cartridge 1 is a consumable cartridge, the device 2 is a printing device, the quantity information is remaining amount information and usage information of the consumable, and the quantity information is either remaining amount information or usage amount information. It is good also as either. Further, when the apparatus 2 is a laser printer, the cartridge 1 may be a waste or resource recovery cartridge such as toner, and the remaining amount information of the IC chip unit 10 after that is used for the waste or resource. What is necessary is just to read as the amount that can be collected, and change the usage amount information as the amount that is collected as waste or resources. The cartridge system may be applied to apparatuses other than printing apparatuses and / or cartridges other than consumable cartridges. Examples include a refrigerator and a deodorant cartridge, a washing machine and a softener cartridge.

例えば、装置２はカートリッジ１の個体識別情報である識別情報及びカートリッジ１の数量情報を記憶する記憶部２０と、ＩＣチップ部１０と接続するコンタクト部２１と、コンタクト部２１を保持し、少なくとも１つのカートリッジ１を収容するとともに、用紙に印刷記録を行う印刷記録ヘッド部２２と、印刷記録ヘッド部２２を取り付けたキャリッジ部２３と、用紙を搬送する搬送部２４と、ユーザ・インターフェースを形成する入出力部２５と、パーソナルコンピュータなどと接続する外部インターフェース部２６と、コンタクト部２１を介してＩＣチップ部１０とシリアル通信またはパラレル通信を行うとともに、記憶部２０、印刷記録ヘッド部２２、キャリッジ部２３、搬送部２４、入出力部２５および外部インターフェース部２６を制御する制御部２７などを備える。ＩＣチップ部１０はコンタクト部２１から制御電源が供給されて機能する電子回路を構成する。制御部２７はＣＰＵ、ＲＯＭ、ＲＡＮなどを有するコンピュータ部を構成する。   For example, the apparatus 2 holds a storage unit 20 that stores identification information that is individual identification information of the cartridge 1 and quantity information of the cartridge 1, a contact unit 21 that is connected to the IC chip unit 10, and a contact unit 21. In addition to housing two cartridges 1, a print recording head unit 22 that prints and records on paper, a carriage unit 23 to which the print recording head unit 22 is attached, a transport unit 24 that transports paper, and an input that forms a user interface. The output unit 25, the external interface unit 26 connected to a personal computer, and the like, and serial communication or parallel communication with the IC chip unit 10 through the contact unit 21, the storage unit 20, the print recording head unit 22, and the carriage unit 23. , Transport unit 24, input / output unit 25, and external interface unit 2 It comprises a control unit 27 for controlling. The IC chip unit 10 constitutes an electronic circuit that functions when supplied with control power from the contact unit 21. The control unit 27 constitutes a computer unit having a CPU, ROM, RAN, and the like.

例えば、制御部２７はＩＣチップ部１０に要求してＩＣチップ部１０から識別情報、残量情報及び使用量情報を取得する。また、ＩＣチップ部１０から取得した識別情報が記憶部２０に記憶されていない場合（装置２に未登録のカートリッジ１）に、（ａ）ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報がゼロ、またはＩＣチップ部１０の使用量情報が使用限度に達した場合に、カートリッジ１の印刷記録などの動作を停止し、カートリッジ１の交換を促すメッセージを入出力部２５に表示し、利用者に装置２にセットされたカートリッジ１を新しいカートリッジ１に交換させ、（ｂ）該（ａ）の条件を満たさない場合に、取得したＩＣチップ部１０の識別情報、残量情報及び使用量情報を記憶部２０に記憶する。   For example, the control unit 27 requests the IC chip unit 10 to acquire identification information, remaining amount information, and usage information from the IC chip unit 10. Further, when the identification information acquired from the IC chip unit 10 is not stored in the storage unit 20 (the cartridge 1 not registered in the apparatus 2), (a) the remaining amount information of the IC chip unit 10 is zero, or the IC chip When the usage amount information of the unit 10 reaches the usage limit, the operation such as printing and recording of the cartridge 1 is stopped, a message for prompting the replacement of the cartridge 1 is displayed on the input / output unit 25, and set in the apparatus 2 to the user The obtained cartridge 1 is replaced with a new cartridge 1, and (b) when the condition (a) is not satisfied, the obtained identification information, remaining amount information and usage information of the IC chip unit 10 are stored in the storage unit 20. To do.

また、これ以降、ＩＣチップ部１０と記憶部２０の識別情報が同一である前提で説明を進める。また、記憶部２０の残量情報＜ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報の場合に、ＩＣリセッターを用いてＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報が改ざんされたと判定し、ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報を、記憶部２０に記憶された残量情報で置き換える。また、記憶部２０の使用量情報＞ＩＣチップ部１０の使用量情報の場合に、ＩＣリセッターを用いてＩＣチップ部１０の使用量情報が改ざんされたと判定し、ＩＣチップ部１０の使用量情報を、記憶部２０に記憶された使用量情報で置き換える。   Hereinafter, the description will be made on the assumption that the identification information of the IC chip unit 10 and the storage unit 20 is the same. If the remaining amount information in the storage unit 20 <the remaining amount information in the IC chip unit 10, it is determined that the remaining amount information in the IC chip unit 10 has been tampered with using an IC resetter, and the remaining amount information in the IC chip unit 10. Is replaced with the remaining amount information stored in the storage unit 20. If the usage amount information in the storage unit 20> the usage amount information in the IC chip unit 10, it is determined that the usage amount information in the IC chip unit 10 has been altered using an IC resetter, and the usage amount information in the IC chip unit 10 is determined. Is replaced with the usage amount information stored in the storage unit 20.

また、記憶部２０の残量情報＞ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報の場合に、カートリッジ１が他の装置で一時的に使用されたと判定し、記憶部２０に記憶された残量情報を、ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報で置き換える。また、記憶部２０の使用量情報＜ＩＣチップ部１０の使用量情報の場合に、カートリッジ１が他の装置で一時的に使用されたと判定し、記憶部２０に記憶された使用量情報を、ＩＣチップ部１０の使用量情報で置き換える。また、印刷記録、ヘッドクリーニングなどで装置２が消費した消耗品の数量を推計して、ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報と使用量情報、及び記憶部２０の残量情報と使用量情報を更新するとともに、ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報や使用量情報、又は記憶部２０の残量情報や使用量情報を基に、カートリッジ１の消耗品の残量を求め、該残量を棒グラフなどに表現して入出力部２５に表示する。また、ＩＣチップ部１０の残量情報や使用量情報、又は記憶部２０の残量情報や使用量情報を基に、カートリッジ１の消耗品が無くなったと推定した場合に、カートリッジ１の印刷記録などの動作を停止し、カートリッジ１の交換を促すメッセージを入出力部２５に表示し、利用者に装置２にセットされたカートリッジ１を新しいカートリッジ１に交換させる。   Further, when the remaining amount information in the storage unit 20> the remaining amount information in the IC chip unit 10, it is determined that the cartridge 1 is temporarily used in another device, and the remaining amount information stored in the storage unit 20 is Replace with the remaining amount information of the IC chip unit 10. Further, when the usage amount information of the storage unit 20 <the usage amount information of the IC chip unit 10, it is determined that the cartridge 1 has been temporarily used by another device, and the usage amount information stored in the storage unit 20 is Replace with the usage information of the IC chip unit 10. In addition, the amount of consumables consumed by the apparatus 2 for printing recording, head cleaning, and the like is estimated, and the remaining amount information and usage information of the IC chip unit 10 and the remaining amount information and usage information of the storage unit 20 are updated. In addition, the remaining amount of consumables in the cartridge 1 is obtained based on the remaining amount information and usage amount information of the IC chip unit 10 or the remaining amount information and usage amount information of the storage unit 20, and the remaining amount is displayed in a bar graph or the like. Expressed and displayed on the input / output unit 25. Further, when it is estimated that the consumables of the cartridge 1 are exhausted based on the remaining amount information and usage amount information of the IC chip unit 10 or the remaining amount information and usage amount information of the storage unit 20, print recording of the cartridge 1, etc. Is stopped, a message for prompting replacement of the cartridge 1 is displayed on the input / output unit 25, and the user replaces the cartridge 1 set in the apparatus 2 with a new cartridge 1.

また、先ず装置２の待機中に印刷記録ヘッド部２２の同一位置に収納されたカートリッジ１に対して、該カートリッジ１のＩＣチップ部１０から識別情報と数量情報を取得し自己のＲＡＮに保持し、次に該ＩＣチップ部１０への電源供給を一時的に遮断し、次に電源供給を再開時に該ＩＣチップ部１０から識別情報と数量情報を取得し、取得した識別情報と数量情報が該ＲＡＭの識別情報と数量情報と一致した場合に、該ＩＣチップ部１０を正規品と判定し、一致しない場合に、該ＩＣチップ部１０を正規品でないと判定し該カートリッジ１の消耗品の残量表示を行わないなどの処理を実施してもよい。   First, identification information and quantity information are acquired from the IC chip unit 10 of the cartridge 1 stored in the same position of the print recording head unit 22 while the apparatus 2 is on standby, and held in its own RAN. Next, the power supply to the IC chip unit 10 is temporarily cut off, and then the identification information and the quantity information are acquired from the IC chip unit 10 when the power supply is resumed. When the identification information in the RAM matches the quantity information, the IC chip unit 10 is determined to be a genuine product. When the IC chip unit 10 does not match, the IC chip unit 10 is determined not to be a genuine product and the remaining consumables of the cartridge 1 remain. Processing such as not displaying the amount may be performed.

例えば、正規品のＩＣチップ部１０は、自らが記憶する残量情報、使用量情報及び判定用数値情報のバックアップを備え、装置２などによって電源が供給され、記憶する残量情報＞バックアップの残量情報または記憶する使用量情報＜バックアップの使用量情報の場合に、記憶する残量情報または使用量情報が改ざんされたと判定し、記憶する残量情報と使用量情報をバックアップの残量情報と使用量情報で置き換える。また、装置２などによって記憶する残量情報が更新され、更新された残量情報＜バックアップの残量情報の場合に、バックアップの残量情報を更新された残量情報で置き換える。また、装置２などによって記憶する使用量情報が更新され、更新された使用量情報＞バックアップの使用量情報の場合に、バックアップの使用量情報を更新された使用量情報で置き換える。また、記憶する判定用数値情報＜バックアップの判定用数値情報の場合に、記憶する判定用数値情報が改ざんされたと判定し、記憶する判定用数値情報をバックアップの判定用数値情報で置き換える。また、装置２などによって記憶する判定用数値情報が変更され、変更された判定用数値情報＞バックアップの判定用数値情報の場合に、バックアップの判定用数値情報を変更された判定用数値情報で置き換える。このことにより、カートリッジシステムは正規品のＩＣチップ部１０の数量情報の改ざんを無効にすることができる。   For example, the genuine IC chip unit 10 is provided with a backup of the remaining amount information, usage amount information, and numerical value information for determination stored by itself. If the amount information or the amount of storage information to be stored is smaller than the amount of backup usage information, it is determined that the remaining amount information to be stored or the usage amount information has been tampered with, and the remaining amount information to be stored and the usage amount information are Replace with usage information. Further, when the remaining amount information stored by the device 2 or the like is updated and the updated remaining amount information <the remaining amount information of the backup, the remaining amount information of the backup is replaced with the updated remaining amount information. Also, the usage information stored by the device 2 or the like is updated, and when the updated usage information> backup usage information, the backup usage information is replaced with the updated usage information. Further, when the determination numerical information to be stored <the backup determination numerical information, it is determined that the stored determination numerical information has been falsified, and the stored determination numerical information is replaced with the backup determination numerical information. In addition, when the determination numerical information stored by the apparatus 2 is changed and the changed determination numerical information> backup determination numerical information, the backup determination numerical information is replaced with the changed determination numerical information. . As a result, the cartridge system can invalidate the alteration of the quantity information of the genuine IC chip unit 10.

さらに、例えば、制御部２７は先ず印刷記録ヘッド部２２の同一位置に収納されたカートリッジ１に対して、該カートリッジ１のＩＣチップ部１０が記憶する判定用数値情報を取得し所定の数値を加えた数値を自己のＲＡＭに保持し、該ＩＣチップ部１０が記憶する判定用数値情報を該ＲＡＭの数値に置き換えるように制御し、次に該ＩＣチップ部１０が記憶する判定用数値情報をゼロに置き換えるように制御（改ざんするように制御）して、次に該ＩＣチップ部１０が記憶する判定用数値情報を取得し、該判定用数値情報と該ＲＡＭの数値が一致した（該ＩＣチップ部１０が記憶する判定用数値情報が改ざんされなかった）場合に、該ＩＣチップ部１０を正規品であると判定し、不一致の場合に、該ＩＣチップ部１０を正規品でないと判定し該カートリッジ１の消耗品の残量表示を行わないなどの処理を実施してもよい。   Further, for example, the control unit 27 first acquires numerical value information for determination stored in the IC chip unit 10 of the cartridge 1 stored in the same position of the print recording head unit 22 and adds a predetermined numerical value. The numerical value for determination is stored in its own RAM, the numerical value information for determination stored in the IC chip unit 10 is controlled to be replaced with the numerical value in the RAM, and the numerical value information for determination stored in the IC chip unit 10 is then zeroed. To determine that the numerical value for determination stored in the IC chip unit 10 is acquired next, and the numerical value for determination coincides with the numerical value of the RAM (the IC chip) If the numerical information for determination stored in the unit 10 is not falsified), the IC chip unit 10 is determined to be a genuine product, and if they do not match, the IC chip unit 10 is determined not to be a regular product. Processing such as refraining amount indicator of the cartridge 1 of the consumable may be performed.

また、判定用数値情報を使用量情報などで代用することも可能である。ここで、この正規品のＩＣチップ部１０は、制御部２７から判定用数値情報などのバックアップを備えているのかを問われており、本実施形態が特許されることにより、該特許を許諾されていない者が本ＩＣチップ部１０を利用できないことでその効力を発する。   It is also possible to substitute the amount information for determination with usage amount information. Here, it is asked whether or not the genuine IC chip unit 10 is provided with a backup of numerical value information for determination from the control unit 27, and the patent is granted by patenting this embodiment. Those who are not able to use this IC chip unit 10 are effective.

以上の説明においては、通信制御プログラムを含む各種制御プログラムが、予めＲＯＭに格納されている場合について説明したが、制御プログラムを、コンピュータ部で読取可能な記憶媒体に記録するようにしてもよい。このような構成であれば、コンピュータ部によってプログラムが記憶媒体から読み取られ、読み取られたプログラムに従ってコンピュータ部が処理を実行すると、上記実施形態の装置２と同等の作用および効果が得られる。   In the above description, the case where various control programs including the communication control program are stored in the ROM in advance has been described. However, the control program may be recorded on a storage medium readable by the computer unit. With such a configuration, when the program is read from the storage medium by the computer unit and the computer unit executes processing according to the read program, the same operation and effect as those of the device 2 of the above embodiment can be obtained.

ここで、記憶媒体とは、ＲＡＭ、ＲＯＭ等の半導体記憶媒体、ＦＤ、ＨＤＤ等の磁気記憶型記憶媒体、ＣＤ、ＤＶＤ、ＢＤ等の光学的読取方式記憶媒体、ＭＯ等の磁気記憶型／光学的読取方式記憶媒体であって、電子的、磁気的、光学的等の読み取り方法のいかんにかかわらず、コンピュータ部で読み取り可能な記憶媒体であれば、どのような記憶媒体であってもよい。   Here, the storage medium is a semiconductor storage medium such as RAM or ROM, a magnetic storage type storage medium such as FD or HDD, an optical reading type storage medium such as CD, DVD or BD, or a magnetic storage type / optical such as MO. Any storage medium can be used as long as it is a computer-readable storage medium regardless of electronic, magnetic, optical, or other reading methods.

また、インターネット、ＬＡＮ等のネットワークシステムを介して制御プログラムをダウンロードし、インストールして実行するように構成することも可能である。   Further, the control program can be downloaded, installed and executed via a network system such as the Internet or a LAN.
