  • Patent number: 8274367
    Abstract: In an RFID system comprising a detection unit for detecting an RFID tag and a control unit for exercising the control concerning the RFID tag, a determination unit determines whether to access a second area of an RFID tag comprising storage area, comprising of a first area for storing ID information and the second area for storing command information. An extraction unit extracts command information from the second area when it is determined to access the second area. An execution unit performs a process corresponding to the command information extracted by the extraction unit.

  • Patent number: 7661598
    Abstract: In a mechanism for attaching to a cart an RFID tag used for transmitting and receiving data to and from an RFID reader/writer, a holding pocket retains the RFID tag. The orientation of the pocket is kept constant in such a manner that a surface of the RFID tag from which data can be read highly accurately faces an antenna for the RFID reader/writer while keeping the distance between the RFID tag and the antenna within a certain range regardless of the transfer direction of the cart.

  • Publication number: 20080191848
    Abstract: When a detector sensor such as an infrared sensor or the like detects a palette or cart mounting a product, the output of the radio wave from the antenna of the reader/writer is set to a minimum value. Then, the radio wave output value is gradually increased from the minimum value until an RFID tag can be read/written. After the RFID tag can be read/written, a target process such as the reading/writing of the RFID tag or the like is performed and the process is terminated. After the process is terminated, the radio wave output is returned to the minimum value.

  • Publication number: 20080100444
    Abstract: This system controls communication between a management system for managing the work process of a product using ID of an RF-ID tag and plural radio communication units each for radio communicating with an RF-ID tag provided associated with one stage of the work process. The system comprises a network state monitor unit monitoring the state of a network, a determination unit determining, based on the monitored state, which of the non-network mode or the network mode should be adopted, a control unit controlling the radio communication unit having read the ID to write, into the RF-ID tag, additional information corresponding to a stage corresponding to the radio communication unit when the non-network mode is adopted and transmitting the additional information to the management system when the network mode is adopted and an information collecting unit reading ID and the additional information from the RF-ID tag.
