Description

The present invention relates to a portable information record carrier issuing device, and more particularly to a handheld portable information record carrier issuing device for writing and reading data to and from an RFID inlet built in a wristband.

Conventionally, various types of information are stored in RFID and various types of management are performed using the various types of information.
For example, in competitions held outdoors, RFID tags as information record carriers are issued to athletes, and traveling time and the like are managed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
According to Patent Document 1, a pre-issued RFID tag is attached to a competitor's race bib, while a referee, an assistant, or the like has a lightweight antenna (FIG. 4) with a handle and a portable controller (FIG. 5). A player / writer is carried, and the player identification information such as the bib number is read from the RFID tag by holding the antenna over the bib of the player who has reached the goal of the referee.
However, in Patent Document 1, although there is no detailed description, it is necessary to issue an RFID tag in advance because there are many participants, and although the RFID tag to be embedded and the bib number can be matched, a predetermined bib number is assigned to the corresponding competition. It is difficult to confirm the process of assigning to the athlete, that is, the process of giving the number of the relevant number at the time of reception where the relevant athlete is concentrated, and whether or not the relevant number has been given to the relevant athlete, which may cause confusion There was a problem.
Although the issued RFID tag (information record carrier) is inserted into the wristband instead of being attached to the bib (see FIG. 10), the wristband with the corresponding number is surely handed over to the corresponding competitor described above. The problem that it was difficult to process at the time of reception remained.
Further, as a printer (issuing device) that issues a wristband, for example, there is Patent Literature 2 (see FIG. 3 of the literature).
According to the printer of Patent Document 2, a “continuum” in which a wristband label having a mount and a wristband portion is wound in a long shape is mounted, and the “continuum” is fed out and the wrist is printed by a thermal transfer ribbon. Patient information such as an ID number and date of birth is printed on the surface of the band.
However, since the printer (issuing device) of Patent Document 2 uses a thermal transfer ribbon and prints with a “continuous body” attached, the size of the apparatus cannot be increased, and the wound “continuous body” Therefore, when it is intended to be used as a printer for a wristband with a built-in RFID equipped with an antenna, the antenna may be rounded and there is a risk of disconnection, etc. For printing a wristband (information record carrier) with a built-in RFID There was a problem of being unsuitable.
