Description

  The present invention relates to a sheet with an information medium attached to a mail or the like and used for tracking management thereof.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a data carrier having a unique ID (RFID) set and a memory area where information can be rewritten, and capable of reading IDs and writing and reading arbitrary information without contact using radio, so-called radio Tags are attracting attention.

  For example, conventionally, a wireless tag is affixed to each envelope used for recorded mail such as registered mail and parcel mail, and the tracking management code set for the envelope with the tag is written to the wireless tag. In addition, the RFID tag readers are placed at each site from the acceptance of the mail to the delivery, and the tracking management code is read from the RFID tag attached to the envelope at each site and notified to the information center. Thus, a system has been proposed that enables centralized management and rapid tracking of postal records.

In this system, since the wireless tag is expensive and becomes industrial waste, it is assumed that it is peeled off from the envelope when the delivery is completed, taken home, and recycled. Therefore, the wireless tag needs to be attached to the envelope so as to be peelable. As a method of attaching the wireless tag, a method is disclosed in which a label is attached to an envelope, and the wireless tag is attached to the label via a release material (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-211170

  However, in the conventional method of attaching a wireless tag, a part of the envelope is covered with a sheet such as a label, and information such as a sender written on the envelope may not be read. When delivery of mail is complete, the postman may peel off the sheet from the envelope, but the envelope and the sheet are firmly bonded, so it is possible that the envelope will be broken if peeled off. It is done.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to read information written on a delivery item without peeling off the sheet when the information medium is peeled off from the delivery item. The object is to provide a sheet with an information medium.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the information medium-attached sheet of the present invention has an information medium capable of transmitting stored information by radio waves peeled off to a transparent sheet body attached to a delivery item. Is.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent information written on a delivery from becoming unreadable by a sheet.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a sheet 10 with a tag cassette attached to a postal matter Y according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the sheet 10 with a tag cassette according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a side view of the sheet 10 with a tag cassette affixed to the postal matter Y according to the embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tag cassette-attached sheet 10 (information medium-attached sheet) includes a sheet main body 11 attached to a postal matter Y (delivery article), and a tag cassette 12 attached to the sheet main body 11. (Information medium).

  The sheet body 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and a transparent material is used as a material. The postal matter Y and the sheet main body 11 are bonded with a first adhesive force P1 by a transparent first adhesive 13. Thereby, even when the sheet main body 11 is affixed to the postal matter Y, the surface of the postal matter Y can be seen through the sheet main body 11.

  The tag cassette 12 has a tag holder 14. The tag holder 14 is formed in substantially the same shape as the sheet main body 11 in a plan view, and a wireless tag 15 is built therein. The wireless tag 15 is a so-called data carrier that can read and write information by radio waves, and a unique ID (information) is stored in advance in the memory unit.

  The sheet body 11 and the tag cassette 12 are adhered to each other with a second adhesive force P2 so as to be peeled off by a transparent second adhesive 16. In the present embodiment, a so-called pressure sensitive adhesive is used as the second adhesive 16. Thereby, when the tag cassette 12 is peeled from the sheet main body 11, the adhesiveness due to the second adhesive 16 does not remain on the adhesive surface between the sheet main body 11 and the tag cassette 12. Further, when the tag cassette 12 is peeled from the sheet 11, the second adhesive 16 slightly remains on the sheet 11. Since the remaining second adhesive 16 is transparent, the second adhesive 16 is transparent. The postal matter Y can be seen through the adhesive 16.

  A rewrite card 17 that is slightly smaller than the tag holder 14 in a plan view is attached to the surface of the tag holder 14. The rewrite card 17 is a rewritable magnetic storage medium used for a so-called point card or the like, and stores the same ID as that stored in the wireless tag 15 in advance.

  4 is a perspective view showing the sheet 10 with a tag cassette attached to the mount D according to the embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a side view showing the sheet 10 with a tag cassette attached to the mount D according to the embodiment. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the tag cassette-attached sheet 10 having the above configuration is stored in a post office window or the like in a state of being attached to the mount D. This mount D is wound in a roll shape, and a resin coating is applied to the surface to which the sheet body 11 is attached.

  The mount D and the sheet main body 11 are bonded with a first adhesive 13 with a third adhesive force P3. That is, the mount D and the sheet main body 11 are bonded by the first adhesive 13 used for bonding the postal matter Y and the sheet main body 11. However, since the surface of the mount D is resin-coated, the relationship between the first adhesive force P1 and the third adhesive force P3 is the third adhesive force P3 <the first adhesive force P1.

  To summarize the relationship of the adhesive strength of the postal matter Y, the sheet main body 11, the tag cassette 12, and the mount D, the first adhesive force P1, the second adhesive force P2, and the third adhesive force P3 include the third adhesive force. There is a relationship of force P3 <second adhesive force P2 <first adhesive force P1.

  Next, the operation when using the tag cassette-attached sheet 10 having the above configuration will be described.

  When the mail Y is received at the post office, the sheet 10 with the tag cassette is peeled off from the mount D and pasted on the mail Y. Then, the reader / writer is brought close to the tag cassette 12 to read the ID stored in the wireless tag 15, and the read ID is recorded in the main computer in correspondence with the postal information of the postal matter Y. The postal information includes a slip number, a delivery address, a requester, and a product name.

  The postal items Y received at the post office window are collectively delivered to the delivery center at a predetermined time. In the delivery center, a reader / writer is brought close to the tag cassette 12 of the arrived mail Y to read the ID of the wireless tag 15 to confirm the arrival of the mail Y, and the mail Y is received based on the read ID. Sort by each. Then, the shipment to the regional center is recorded on the main computer, and the mail Y is delivered.

  At each regional center, the reader / writer is brought close to the tag cassette 12 of the arrived mail Y, the ID of the wireless tag 15 is read, the arrival of the mail Y is confirmed, and the mail Y is delivered based on the read ID. Sort by each. Then, the shipment to each delivery destination is recorded in the main computer, and the postal matter Y is delivered.

  At each delivery destination, the reader / writer is brought close to the tag cassette 12 of the delivered mail Y to read the ID of the wireless tag 15 to confirm the completion of delivery of the mail Y, and the tag cassette 12 is peeled off from the sheet body 11. At this time, since the adhesive force between the postal matter Y and the sheet main body 11 is stronger than the adhesive force between the sheet main body 11 and the tag cassette 12, if the tag cassette 12 is grasped and pulled away from the postal matter Y, it can be easily peeled off. .

  The tag cassette 12 peeled off from the sheet main body 11 is collected by a postman and recycled to a new sheet 10 with a tag cassette.

  According to the tag cassette-attached sheet 10 having the above-described configuration, a transparent material is used as a material for the sheet main body 11 to be attached to the postal matter Y, and a material for the first adhesive 13 that bonds the postal matter Y and the sheet main body 11 is used. A transparent material is used, and a transparent material is used as a material for the second adhesive 16 that bonds the sheet body 11 and the tag cassette 12 together.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent information such as a sender name written on the postal matter Y from being unreadable. In other words, as shown in FIG. 6, information such as the sender name can be read while the sheet body 11 is pasted on the postal matter Y. As a result, when receiving the postal matter Y, there is no need to select a place where the tag cassette-attached sheet 10 is affixed, so that the work efficiency at the time of receiving can be improved.

  FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing a sheet 10 with a tag cassette according to a modification of the embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the sheet 10 with a tag cassette according to the modification of the present embodiment, the second adhesive 16 that bonds the sheet main body 11 and the tag cassette 12 is provided at both longitudinal ends of the sheet main body 11. Only provided. In this way, even if a non-transparent material is used as the second adhesive 16, most of the portion on the sheet body 11 side can be kept transparent. Information can be viewed from above the sheet body 11.

  In addition, if a release agent is applied between the sheet main body 11 and the second adhesive 16, when the tag cassette 12 is peeled off from the sheet main body 11, the second adhesive 16 is entirely placed on the tag cassette 12 side. Can be attached. Even in this case, when the tag cassette 12 is peeled off from the sheet main body 11, the sheet main body 11 side can be kept transparent, so that information such as the sender written on the postal matter Y is displayed from above the sheet main body 11. Can see.
