JP2004191481A - Position display method for radio tag - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that a radio tag must avoid interference with the information on others by making read output small and a read position must be accurately and easily known. <P>SOLUTION: A mark 11 showing the position on the radio tag is put on a seal 10 on which a bar code 12 or a sign equivalent to the bar code is printed or the mark 11 is printed together with the bar code 12 or the sign equivalent to the bar code at a position where the radio tag is arranged. Then, a label with the bar code or the sign equivalent to the bar code is stuck to the surface position of a box in which a product with the radio tag is packed corresponding to a part where the radio tag is mounted inside. A bar code reader and a radio tag reader can both be used in the same way as in the conventional manner, and the method is easily fit sensuously. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wireless tag position display method, and more particularly to a wireless tag reading position display method for displaying on a packaging box of a product to which the wireless tag is attached.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, a technique for identifying individual information using a wireless tag has been used in various places. The wireless tag is obtained by adding a data wireless communication function to the function of the IC card, and has a function of obtaining the operating power of the IC wirelessly and outputting the built-in data to the outside. Individual information is input to the wireless tag, and the product can be managed by attaching it to the product. An improved technology of a wireless tag that is attached to an object such as a product or a baggage and that recognizes and sorts the object by reading unique information from the outside without contact is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0003]
Products and the like to which such a wireless tag is attached are being miniaturized recently, and the reading output of the wireless tag cannot be increased too much. This is because when it is enlarged, information on other products is also picked up. In addition, even though wireless tags are being used for prizes, there are still quite a number of cases where conventional information reading by bar codes or visual reading of numbers is supported.
[0004]

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-162262
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In order to reduce the reading output of the wireless tag and avoid interference with other information, it is necessary to display the individual wireless tag reading position of the product or the like in an easily readable place on the outer box surface. Such a position display of the wireless tag is very sensuously familiar to many people in an excessive period, such as those who are accustomed to using the wireless tag and those who continue to manage conventional barcodes. It is necessary to do so.
[0006]
In view of such a viewpoint, an object of the present invention is to provide an appropriate wireless tag position display method.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a wireless tag position display method that solves the above-mentioned problems, and the first technical means thereof is to arrange the wireless tag at a position corresponding to a barcode or a corresponding symbol printing position. A wireless tag position display method is characterized. A bar code or a symbol corresponding thereto refers to an English letter, a Japanese letter, a number, a logo, a character, an article, or another mark used for providing the same purpose and action as the bar code or the bar code.
[0008]
According to a second technical means of the present invention, there is provided a wireless tag position display method characterized in that a mark indicating this is printed together with a barcode or a symbol corresponding thereto at a position where the wireless tag is arranged. .
[0009]
Further, the position of the wireless tag, wherein a label of a bar code or a symbol corresponding thereto is attached to the surface position corresponding to the portion where the internal wireless tag is attached in the box in which the product with the wireless tag is packed Provide a display method.
[0010]
In a factory or large warehouse as a shipping source, various kinds of information can be easily managed by using a wireless tag, which is greatly advantageous. On the other hand, as a mark corresponding to the position of the wireless tag so that it can also correspond to the warehouse or retail store of the shipping destination, in particular, by attaching a conventionally used barcode, in both the barcode reader and the wireless tag reader, By the same operation as before, barcode reading and wireless tag reading can be facilitated.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an individual packaging box 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention. A seal 10 is attached to the outer surface of the individual packaging box 1. The seal 10 is printed with a mark (for example, printed as RFID) 11 indicating that the wireless tag is embedded, a barcode 12, other articles 13 and the like. The bar code 12 includes information for identifying the individual such as a serial number of the product. The built-in wireless tag contains both product information and individual information such as a serial number. When the RFID tag reader is brought close to the seal 10 portion, the information held by the RFID tag can be read. When conventional barcode management is performed, the barcode reader is brought close to the sticker so that the serial information can be read. Numbers can be recognized. The individual identification barcode 20 of the product may be attached separately from the seal 10 as shown in FIG.
[0013]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the reading range of the RFID tag-attached sticker 10 and is a view of the individual packaging box 1 as viewed from the side of the sticker 10 attachment surface. The reading range 30 of the wireless tag is set to a narrow range of about 5 to 10 cm from the seal 10. Thus, mutual collision of the RFID tag information can be prevented.
[0014]
FIG. 3 shows another example of the seal 10 in which the wireless tag is embedded, and the mark 11 is a mark corresponding to the wireless tag and can be of any shape and type. The bar code 12 and other information 13 indicate a serial number and the like, and information 14 and 15 indicating products are printed.
[0015]
By attaching, embedding, and attaching wireless tags to products by other means, product management becomes easy and benefits greatly in departments that need to handle a large number of items (products), such as shipping sources and shipping destinations. . In addition, it can be used as a conventional barcode at the shipping destination, and is marked when using a wireless tag, so the presence of the wireless tag can be easily confirmed, and its position can be recognized without a sense of incongruity. Can do.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, since the mark corresponding to the wireless tag and the conventional bar code are displayed together, it is very easy to manage at the shipper who uses the wireless tag to handle a large quantity of products. In addition, the shipping destination can use a conventional barcode for management, and when using a wireless tag, the presence of the wireless tag can be confirmed by a sticker with the barcode, making it uncomfortable to place the wireless tag. You can find them without any problems.
