The RF-ID circuit unit 1 functions as an electronic tag by generating electric power from radio waves received from the antenna 2 and outputting an ID code or the like to the outside from the portable antenna 2 as a response to the received radio waves.

  The RF-ID circuit unit 1 can access the tag information stored therein from the portable device side according to an instruction from the control unit 6. Therefore, the RF-ID circuit unit 1 is compatible with a plurality of services as an electronic tag by connecting a portable device to a communication line and rewriting tag information from the outside via the line, and the function is versatile. I can do it. The RFID tag included in the portable device according to the present embodiment is intended for use in the RF-ID circuit unit 1 for seminar attendance, advertising information, incidental information, or the like that does not require much security. By improving the security by the method, it can be used for applications requiring high security.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the RF-ID circuit unit 1 of FIG.
The RF-ID circuit unit 1 in FIG. 2 includes a storage unit 11, a rectifying / smoothing unit 12, a transmission / reception unit 13, a CPU 14, an EEPROM 15, and a switch 16.
The transmission / reception unit 11 detects radio waves received by the antenna 2, and modulates tag information stored in the EEPROM 15 and outputs it from the antenna 2 during transmission. The rectifying / smoothing unit 12 converts the signal detected by the transmission / reception unit 11 into a DC voltage or a DC current. The accumulating unit 13 accumulates electric energy obtained by the received radio wave and uses it as electric energy used when transmitting radio waves. The CPU 14 controls the entire RF-ID circuit unit 1 based on a control program stored therein as firmware, analyzes the signal received from the antenna 2, and based on the result, converts the information in the EEPROM 15 into the antenna. 2 is output to the outside via 2 or information in the EEPROM 15 is rewritten. The CPU 14 is connected to the control unit 6 by a bus line 17. Based on an instruction from the bus line 17, the CPU 14 sends data in the EEPROM 15 to the control unit 6 and rewrites data in the EEPROM 15. The EEPROM 15 is composed of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, and stores tag information necessary for use as an electronic tag such as an ID code serving as a tag identification code. As will be described later, the EEPROM 15 has a rewritable storage area, a non-rewritable storage area, an area accessible from the mobile device side, and an unusable area. The switch 16 is for supplying electric power, and the storage unit 11 and the power supply line are switched ON / OFF by a switch control line from the control unit 6. The switch 16 is turned on and supplies power to the CPU 14 and the EEPROM 15 when the CPU 11 reads and writes data from the EEPROM 15 according to an instruction from the control unit 6. As a result, even when radio waves from a tag reader / writer (not shown) cannot be received by the antenna 2, the electronic tag can be accessed from the control unit 6 of the mobile phone.

  In FIG. 2, the RF-ID circuit unit 1 is configured to be driven by power obtained from the received radio wave except when the switch 16 is ON. Power may be supplied from a battery or the like of the portable device or when the electronic tag performs transmission / reception, and may be driven by this power.

  With such a configuration, the RF-ID circuit unit 1 receives not only the tag information in the EEPROM 15 by receiving radio waves from the tag reader / writer through the antenna 2, but also by an instruction from the control unit 6, Can be accessed. Thereby, instruction control from the portable device side, for example, the tag in the EEPROM 15 is made by connecting the portable device to the communication line and giving an instruction through the communication line or an instruction from the input / output device provided in the portable device. Information can be accessed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing tag information stored in the EEPROM 15.
The EEPROM 15 has a rewritable storage area and a non-rewritable and read-only storage area. As tag information, the non-rewritable area has an ID code, and the rewritable area has a change flag and IC data. It is remembered. Further, in these areas, the ID code and the change flag can be accessed from the portable device side in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 1 in FIG. 1 (the ID code can only be read and both the change flag can be read / written). The IC data cannot be accessed from the mobile device side, but can be accessed only via the antenna 2, thereby improving the security for the service by the electronic tag. In order to prevent the IC data from being accessed from the mobile device side, for example, it is decoded whether the address from the mobile device is an address that specifies the IC data, and a circuit that prohibits the specification of the address is provided on the bus line 17. The configuration.

  The ID code is an identification code for uniquely identifying each electronic tag, and a different value is assigned to each electronic tag. The service provider side reads this ID code from the electronic tag by the reader / writer of the reader / writer terminal, and specifies the electronic tag (user who owns the electronic tag). The change flag is a flag that is set when the service received by the electronic tag is changed. When changing the service, the portable device is connected to an ID management server (to be described later) via a communication line, this flag is set, and IC data corresponding to the service is read by a reader / writer terminal that reads the electronic tag when receiving the service. Change the service by rewriting to. IC data is data used by a service provider to perform a service. This IC data is read or rewritten when the service is provided.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a system for changing a service that can be enjoyed by an electronic tag in a portable device.
In the system shown in the figure, the portable device 31 described above is connected to an ID management server 32 and a reader / writer terminal 33 via a communication line 34 such as a telephone line or the Internet.

  The ID management server 32 is a network server that manages ID codes, and notifies permission / non-permission of change in response to a service change request from the portable device 31. In response to an inquiry from the reader / writer terminal 33, if the service change permission is given to the corresponding ID code, the IC data of the changed service is returned to the reader / writer terminal 33. The reader / writer terminal 33 is a terminal device on the service provider side that provides various services to the user of the mobile device 31. The service provider installs the reader / writer terminal 33 in a place where the service is provided, and reads / writes the electronic tag by the reader / writer terminal 33 to provide various services to the user. The reader / writer terminal 33 reads / rewrites internal tag information when the electronic tag is adjacent. If the change flag in the tag information read at this time is set, the reader / writer terminal 33 inquires the ID management server 32 via the communication line 34, receives IC data corresponding to the new service, Write in the tag.

In such a system, when the user of the mobile device 31 wants to receive a service different from the service currently registered in the tag of the mobile device 31, when the registered service is changed The operation process will be described.
A user who wants to receive a service using an electronic tag selects a service desired to be received from the menu displayed by the portable device 31 before reading the tag information in the portable device 31 by the reader / writer terminal 33. Specify. When this designation is made, the portable device 31 is connected to the ID management server 32 via the communication line 34 and requests a change of the set service. Upon receiving this request, the ID management server 32 checks whether or not a setting such as suspension of use has been made for the electronic tag, and then gives the change permission to the portable device 31, and the portable device 31 that has received this notification. Sets the change flag in the electronic tag.

  In this state, the electronic tag of the portable device 31 is read by the service reader / writer terminal 33 that is about to receive the service. When the change flag in the read tag information is set, the reader / writer terminal 33 inquires of the ID management server 32 via the communication line 34, receives the IC data corresponding to the changed service, and carries it as a mobile phone. It is set on the electronic tag of the device 31 and the service corresponding to the electronic tag is changed, and the corresponding service is processed.

By such an operation process, the mobile device 31 can support a plurality of services as an electronic tag, and the user can provide a desired service using the mobile device 31 as an electronic tag.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a record registered in the ID database 35.

  In the ID database 35, a record 41 is configured for each ID code 42 that is an identifier for uniquely identifying each electronic tag. One record includes service names 43 of a plurality of services that can be received by the ID code 42. , Whether the service is currently providing a service (current service), whether it was designated as a new service at the time of change (to be changed), or whether changes to the service are prohibited When receiving the change designation information 44 indicating the change status of each service, such as whether (unchangeable), prohibiting the provision of the service (unusable), and the service should be stored in the electronic tag IC data 45 is registered and stored.

  “Unchangeable” is set in the change designation information 44 when the service provider notifies the ID management server 32 that the change to the service is prohibited, for example, because the service is currently stopped. . Also, “unusable” is set when the service provider notifies that the electronic tag of the ID code has been stopped for reasons such as unauthorized use or loss of a portable device. The

  In the case of the same figure, a service name 43 and change designation information 44 that can be enjoyed with each ID code are recorded in a plurality of records 41-1, 41-2,. In the record 41-1 for the ID code XXXX, service 1, service 2,..., Which is a service name 43 of the service that can be enjoyed with the ID code, and service 1 as change specification information 44 as change specification information 44 of the service. Is set to indicate that the service will be a new service after the change, and service 2 is set to the current service indicating that the service can be enjoyed with this ID code.

  When receiving a service change request from the portable device 31, the ID management server 32 registers the requested service in the ID database 35 as a change schedule in response to the received ID code. In response to the notification from the reader / writer terminal 33, the IC data to be changed corresponding to the ID code is read and transmitted to the reader / writer terminal 33.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the system environment of the information processing apparatus that constitutes the ID management server 32 or the reader / writer terminal 33.
As shown in FIG. 6, the ID management server 32 and the reader / writer terminal 33 in the present embodiment include a CPU 51, a main storage device 52, an auxiliary storage device 53 such as a hard disk, a display, a keyboard, a reading / writing device for an electronic tag, and the like. Input / output device (I / O) 54, a network connection device 55 such as a modem for connecting to the communication line 34, and a medium reading device 56 for reading out stored contents from a portable storage medium 58 such as a disk or magnetic tape These are connected to each other by a bus 57.

  6 reads out a program and data stored in a storage medium 58 such as a magnetic tape, a floppy (registered trademark) disk, a CD-ROM, and an MO by means of a medium reader 56, and stores the program and data in the main storage device 52. Alternatively, it is downloaded to the auxiliary storage device 53. Then, the CPU 51 performs an execution process based on the program and data, thereby realizing functions of various processes described later using a flowchart.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation process at the time of a service change process performed in the mobile device 31. In this process, the user of the mobile device 31 wants to receive a tag in a service different from the service currently registered in the tag of the mobile device 31, and changes the service corresponding to the electronic tag to that service. It is a process performed in the case. The processing in FIG. 7 is realized by executing a control program stored in the control unit 6 in the portable device 31. The service name currently used in the electronic tag and the service name that can be used are stored in a storage unit (not shown) in the control unit 6.

When the user gives an instruction to display a list of services by operating the input unit 8, this process is started. First, in step S1, a service name of a service currently set in the electronic tag and a list of services that can be changed are displayed. 7 is displayed.
In this state, the portable device waits for an instruction input, and if the instruction input by the user is not a change instruction for instructing a change of service (step S2, N), the process ends and is based on the input instruction from the user. Move on to processing.

  In step S2, if the user operates the input unit 8 and there is a change designation instructing the change of the service (step S2, Y), the ID code of the electronic tag and the service name to be changed are transmitted via the communication line 4 in step S3. Is sent to the ID management server 32, and a response wait state is entered (step S4, N).

  Then, if the response from the ID management server 32 is received (step S4, Y) and the response permits the change of service (step S5, Y), the change flag in the electronic tag is set as step S6. Is set, and the service changed in step S7 is stored and displayed as the current service, and the processing is terminated. If the response from the ID management server 32 indicates that the service cannot be changed or the service cannot be used (step S5, N), a display indicating that the service cannot be changed or cannot be used is displayed on the display unit 7 as step S8. After that, the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the ID management server 32 that has received the data transmitted by the portable device 31 in step S3. The processing in FIG. 7 is realized by the CPU 51 in the ID management server 32 executing a program using the main storage device 52 as a work memory.

  When the ID management server 32 receives data such as an ID code from the portable device 31 via the communication line 34, the ID management server 32 searches the ID database 35 using the ID code of the electronic tag in the received data as a key in step S11. Read the record data corresponding to the ID code.

  The ID database 35 stores information such as the type of service received by the ID code in association with the ID code of the electronic tag and IC data used for the service as described above. It is checked whether or not the service notified as the service to be changed by the data received from the portable device 31 is registered in the data read from the ID database 35 in S11. As a result, if the service requested to be changed by the received data is not registered in the ID database 35 (step S12, N), the electronic tag of the mobile device 31 corresponds to the service requested to be changed from the mobile device 31. In step S16, the post-notification processing is terminated as a response to the portable device 31 indicating that the change cannot be made.

  In step S12, if the requested service is registered in the corresponding record of the ID database 35 (step S12, Y), whether or not the setting for the service is set to unchangeable or unusable as step S13. Check out. As a result, if the change is disabled or the use is disabled (step S13, N), the post-notification post process is terminated as a response to the portable device 31 as a response to the portable device 31 in step S16.

  If neither unchangeable nor unusable is set for the service requested to be changed from the mobile device 31 in step S13 (step S13, Y), the change designation information 44 of the service requested to be changed in step S14 is changed to a change schedule. After registering in the ID database 35 and notifying the change permission as a response to the portable device 31 in step S15, the process is terminated.

  Through the processing shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the electronic flag in the portable device 31 is set with a change flag as information indicating that the service change permission has been obtained. In this state, in order to receive a new service for which a change request has been made, the user causes the tag information in the electronic tag to be read by the reader / writer terminal 33 of the service provider that provides this service.

  In the process of FIG. 7, when the portable device 31 receives a notification indicating that the portable device 31 cannot be used from the ID management server 32, the portable device 31 notifies the user to that effect. The configuration may be such that the flag is stored, and the portable device 31 may be configured to stop receiving the service provided by the electronic tag by setting the flag when receiving a notification of unusability from the ID management server 32.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the reader / writer terminal 33 at this time. The processing in FIG. 7 is realized by the CPU 51 in the ID management server 32 executing a program using the main storage device 52 as a work memory.
The process shown in FIG. 11 is started when the reader / writer terminal 33 reads tag information in the electronic tag of the portable device 31.

  In step S21, the reader / writer terminal 33 checks whether the change flag in the tag information read from the electronic tag is set. As a result, if the change flag is not set (step S21, N), the process proceeds to step S26, and the service process is executed using the IC data in the tag information read from the electronic tag.

  If the change flag is set in step S21 (step S21, Y), the service change process is performed. Therefore, the ID code in the tag information read out in step S22 and the service targeted by itself are transmitted through the communication line 34. The ID management server 32 is notified through the inquiry to the ID management server 32, and a response is waited (step S23, N).

  When the response to the inquiry in step S22 is received from the ID management server 32 (step S23, Y), the reader / writer terminal 33 notifies that the response is not scheduled to be changed in step S24. If there is any (step S24, N), an error process such as notifying the holder of the portable device 31 or clearing the change flag is performed as a step S27, and the process is terminated.

  If the response received from the ID management server 32 notifies that a change schedule is set (step S24, Y), the IC corresponding to the changed service received from the ID management server 32 as step S25. Write data to the electronic tag and clear the change flag.

Then, after executing the process for providing the service according to the IC data as step S26, the present process is terminated.
In the processing of FIG. 9, the processing may be performed when the processing corresponding to the service of step S26 is performed without performing the processing of writing the IC data in the electronic tag in step S25. In this case, even when it becomes necessary to update the IC data in the electronic tag in the execution of the processing corresponding to the service in step S26, the writing is not performed twice, so the processing is accelerated accordingly. .

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the ID management server 32 when the reader / writer terminal 33 receives the ID code transmitted via the communication line 34 in response to the inquiry in step S22 of FIG. The processing in FIG. 7 is realized by the CPU 51 in the ID management server 32 executing a program using the main storage device 52 as a work memory.

  When the ID management server 32 receives an inquiry including an ID code and information indicating the service supported by the reader / writer terminal 33 from the reader / writer terminal 33 via the communication line 34, the received ID is received as step S31. Data corresponding to the ID code of the tag is read from the ID database 35.

  Next, the change designation information 44 of the service supported by the reader / writer terminal 33 of the read data is checked. If there is no setting registration to be changed (step S32, N), the reader / writer terminal 33 is set as step S35. After notifying that there is no registration of the change schedule via the communication line 34, the process is terminated.

  In step S32, if there is a setting registration of a change schedule in the service supported by the reader / writer terminal 33 (step S32, Y), a notification that there is a change schedule and IC data corresponding to the service are communicated as step S33. The data is transmitted to the reader / writer terminal 33 via the line 34. Then, the current service setting of the change designation information 44 of the corresponding record in the ID database 35 is deleted, and the change designation information 44 in which the change schedule is set is changed to the current service and rewritten and updated, and then the processing ends. To do.

  By the processing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the electronic tag in the portable device 31 is allowed to be changed by the ID management server 32, and if the change flag is set, the tag is read by the reader / writer terminal 33. When the information is read, the IC data is rewritten to the one corresponding to the service requested to be changed, and the corresponding service is switched.

As described above, the portable device according to the present embodiment can rewrite the tag information in the RF-ID circuit unit 1a, so that the single portable device 31 supports various services by rewriting the tag information as necessary. I can do it.
In addition, since the service provider can notify the ID management server 32 of the service change, the service provider can change the service in response to a loss or theft report from the user or a user's charge delinquency. Can be stopped.

  The above-described processing is based on the premise that the connection between the portable device 31 and the ID management server 32 is performed by the communication line 34. However, the portable device 31 and the ID management server 32 directly using the telephone line. You may make it connect between. At this time, the ID management server 32 may record and manage the telephone number of the portable device 31 and specify the portable device 31 by the telephone number.

  Further, although the non-contact type electronic tag is used as the electronic tag, the electronic tag is not limited to the RFID and may be another electronic tag.
