Abstract: In a module-to-module association support system, a controller asks a management server to create an adaptor for use as an intermediary between a client module and a service module being a target to be associated with the client module. The management server is provided with a service API definition defining the specification of an API of the service module, and a device ID corresponding thereto. The management server selects the service API definition based on the device ID provided by the controller, and creates the adaptor based on the selected service API definition and the provided client API definition. The resulting adaptor is forwarded to a client. With such a configuration, a process to be executed after a change of the service module can be simplified to update an application including the client module.

Abstract: It is desirable to make the antenna wiring more efficient in the building of an RFID system. The system includes antennas and readers connected in an arbitrary manner, in which calibration tags are installed on all the antennas. By reading the calibration tags, the system automatically generates the correspondences between the access paths and antenna logical names of the antennas, to serve as antenna configuration information. While the user generates combinations of the antenna logical names of the one or more antennas to be simultaneously driven, to serve as derive sequence information. The system compares the automatically generated antenna configuration information with the user-generated driving sequence information, and if there is an inconsistency in the setting of the both, generates an antenna rewiring procedure so as to resolve the inconsistency. The antenna rewiring procedure is generated as a combination of the substitution operation of the antenna wiring.

Abstract: In an electronic tag data read/write apparatus, an electronic tag receives a response request from a reader/writer, generates a random number in a random number generator, stores the random number in a memory, and transmits the generated random number to the reader/writer. The reader/writer conducts masking processing on write data on the basis of the random number every size of the received random number, repeats the masking processing until all of the write data are subjected to masking processing, and then transmits the masked write data to the electronic tag collectively. The electronic tag conducts deciphering processing on the received masked write data every size of the random number stored in the memory, repeats the deciphering processing until all of the masked write data are deciphered, and writes the write data into the memory.
