The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing an RFID tag-based service to a mobile communication terminal interoperable with a mobile communication network and an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) network, and more particularly, includes a module for providing an RFID tag-based service. A method and apparatus for providing an RFID code unique to a mobile communication terminal through a mobile communication network and providing an RFID tag based service to a corresponding mobile communication terminal based on the provided unique RFID code.

Existing Automatic Identification Data Capture (AIDC) includes one-dimensional and two-dimensional bar codes and RFID.

Since RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has a longer sensing distance than conventional barcode methods, it is easy to apply according to system characteristics and environmental conditions, and it is also possible to recognize fast moving products. In particular, hundreds of products can be recognized at the same time and a large amount of data can be stored using the read / write function.

In general, RFID attaches an electronic tag to a thing and collects and processes information of each thing to provide services such as information exchange and positioning, remote processing, and management between objects.

In addition, RFID is regarded as a sensing technology that is one of the basic technologies of ubiquitous computing, and research and pilot projects are being promoted with the continuous support of governments.

The development of RFID-related technologies in Korea is being led by the Ministry of Information and Communication, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, the Korea Computer Center, and the ETRI, and through the international joint research, we are overcoming technological differences and promoting joint development with industries for commercialization. It is true.

The RFID system consists of a tag, a reader, and a server, and can be variously implemented according to the power supply method of the tag, the read / write capability of the tag, the frequency band used, and the communication connection method.

For example, according to the power supply method of the tag, it can be divided into a passive type that is operated by an electromagnetic field emitted by the reader and an active type that is operated by the supply of direct power provided from the outside or the inside. have.

The active type has the advantage of reducing the power required of the reader and the recognition distance from the reader. However, the active type is limited in operating time because it requires a power supply and has a disadvantage of being more expensive than the passive type.

On the other hand, the passive type is very lighter than the active type, and the price is cheap and can be used semi-permanently. However, the passive type has a shorter recognition distance and consumes more power in the reader.

Currently, RFID technology is mainly applied in logistics and distribution fields such as material management, process management, and baggage management. In addition, it is gradually being applied to public fields such as livestock history management, library management, munitions management, and waste management. .

Since RFID service is provided based on unique code information stored in a tag attached to an object, efficient code management is most important.

In addition, in order to activate RFID services and provide various services, effective interworking with existing systems is most important, and it is an important task to expand and integrate services provided by existing systems using RFID-based technology. .

Until now, however, RFID has only been reviewed for corporate business purposes. In other words, it has been mainly used in the fields of corporate application such as library library of libraries, inventory management of stores, logistics and distribution management.

In other words, in RFID, the target customer is classified by the subject using the RFID reader. Until now, the RFID reader has been purchased and used only by the enterprise, and is not extended to general customers.

Therefore, a recent research is attempting to mount an RFID reader in a portable information terminal used by general customers.

However, including the RFID reader in the portable information terminal not only increases the cost of the portable information terminal but also adds the components of the RFID reader to the existing portable information terminal, thereby increasing the purchasing power of general customers who are sensitive to the size of the portable information terminal. There is a limit to stimulation.
