Abstract

A recording device according to the present disclosure includes: a writer that rewrites schedule information visibly recorded on a recording medium and corresponding to a time from first schedule information to second schedule information; and a generator that generates the second schedule information on the basis of a time.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A recording device comprising:
a writer that rewrites schedule information visibly recorded on a recording medium and corresponding to a time from first schedule information to second schedule information;
a generator that generates the second schedule information on a basis of a time, wherein the generator generates the second schedule information also on a basis of historical data corresponding to the recording medium in addition to the time; and
a reader that reads information visibly recorded on the recording medium,
wherein identification information corresponding to the recording medium is further visibly recorded on the recording medium,
wherein the reader reads the identification information recorded on the recording medium, and
wherein the generator obtains, on a basis of the identification information read by the reader, the historical data with use of a database in which the identification information and the historical data corresponding to each other are stored.

2. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the generator further updates the historical data to update the database on a basis of the updated historical data.

3. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the database is stored in an information processing device.

4. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information is recorded on the recording medium with use of a visible pattern.

5. The recording device according to claim 1 , further comprising a reader that reads information visibly recorded on the recording medium, wherein
the historical data is visibly recorded on the recording medium, and
the reader reads the historical data recorded on the recording medium.

6. The recording device according to claim 5 , wherein
the writer rewrites the historical data recorded on the recording medium from first historical data to second historical data, and
the generator further generates the second historical data on a basis of the first historical data.

7. The recording device according to claim 6 , wherein
the writer rewrites a pattern visibly recorded on the recording medium and corresponding to the historical data from a first pattern to a second pattern to rewrite the historical data, and
the generator generates the second pattern on a basis of the historical data.

8. The recording device according to claim 7 , wherein the generator generates the second pattern also on a basis of site information of an information processing device in addition to the historical data.

9. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the generator generates the second schedule information also on a basis of predetermined schedule data.

10. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein
the writer further updates history information visibly recorded on the recording medium and indicating a history of the recording medium from first history information to second history information, and
the generator generates the second history information on a basis of the historical data.

11. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the recording medium is wearable by a user.

12. The recording device according to claim 11 , wherein the recording medium has a wristband shape.

13. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the recording medium includes a recording layer having a state that is reversibly switchable between a colored state and a colorless state.

14. The recording device according to claim 13 , wherein the recording layer includes a leuco dye.

15. A recording system comprising:
a recording device including a writer and a generator, the writer that rewrites schedule information visibly recorded on a recording medium and corresponding to a time from first schedule information to second schedule information, and the generator that generates the second schedule information on a basis of a time and historical data corresponding to the recording medium; and
an information processing device that accumulates the historical data,
wherein the recording device further includes a reader that reads information visibly recorded on the recording medium,
wherein identification information corresponding to the recording medium is further visibly recorded on the recording medium,
wherein the information processing device includes a database in which the identification information and the historical data corresponding to each other are stored,
wherein the reader reads the identification information recorded on the recording medium, and
wherein the generator obtains the historical data from the information processing device on a basis of the identification information read by the reader.

16. The recording system according to claim 15 , further comprising a terminal device including a terminal reader and a processor, the terminal reader that reads information visibly recorded on the recording medium, wherein
site information of the information processing device is also visibly recorded on the recording medium,
the terminal reader reads the identification information and the site information that are recorded on the recording medium,
the processor accesses the information processing device on a basis of the site information read by the terminal reader, and supplies the identification information read by the terminal reader to the information processing device, and
the information processing device performs predetermined processing corresponding to the identification information on the terminal device.

17. A recording system comprising:
a recording device including a writer and a generator, the writer that rewrites schedule information visibly recorded on a recording medium and corresponding to a time from first schedule information to second schedule information, and the generator that generates the second schedule information on a basis of a time and historical data corresponding to the recording medium;
an information processing device that performs predetermined processing corresponding to the historical data; and
a terminal device including a terminal reader that reads information visibly recorded on the recording medium,
wherein identification information corresponding to the recording medium is also visibly recorded on the recording medium,
wherein the information processing device includes a database in which the identification information and the historical data corresponding to each other are stored,
wherein the terminal reader reads the identification information recorded on the recording medium, and
wherein the information processing device obtains the historical data on a basis of the identification information read by the terminal reader.

18. The recording system according to claim 17 , further comprising a terminal device including a terminal reader that reads information visibly recorded on the recording medium, wherein
the historical data is visibly recorded on the recording medium,
the terminal reader reads the historical data recorded on the recording medium, and
the information processing device obtains the historical data read by the terminal reader.
