本発明は携帯電話、ＰＨＳが持っている機能の一部をＩＣタグの読み取り／書き込み装置の一部として用いることで、従来のＩＣタグリーダ／ライタに内包されていた機能から、補完できる機能を省くことで小型且つ低価格なリーダ／ライタの提供が可能になった。また、携帯電話機に搭載された通信手段（携帯電話網、パケット通信網、ブルートゥース、無線ＬＡＮ、ＩｒＤＡ等）を利用することにより、新規に大がかりな通信インフラを構築する必要がない効果もある。 The present invention eliminates functions that can be complemented from functions included in conventional IC tag readers / writers by using some of the functions of mobile phones and PHSs as part of the IC tag reader / writer. This makes it possible to provide a small and low-priced reader / writer. Further, there is an effect that it is not necessary to construct a new large-scale communication infrastructure by using communication means (mobile phone network, packet communication network, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, IrDA, etc.) mounted on the mobile phone.
本発明のＩＣタグリーダ／ライタは、携帯電話機の卓上ホルダ型のケース内にＩＣタグのリード・ライト用アンテナと、リード・ライト用の高周波回路（ＲＦ）基板を配し、場合によっては信号処理用のコントロール基板や、駆動用電池ユニットや、充電端子や、外部機器接続インターフェイスを単独或いは複合して有し、携帯電話機との接続用端子を外部インターフェイスとして持つＩＣタグリーダ／ライタである。 An IC tag reader / writer according to the present invention includes an IC tag read / write antenna and a read / write high-frequency circuit (RF) substrate in a desktop holder type case of a mobile phone, and in some cases for signal processing. This is an IC tag reader / writer having a control board, a driving battery unit, a charging terminal, an external device connection interface, or a terminal for connection with a mobile phone as an external interface.
以下に本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。図１は本発明の一実施の形態による卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタと携帯電話機を接続し、使用状態に構成した一例の斜視図である。１はＩＣタグリーダ／ライタ本体、２は携帯電話機本体であり、コンパクトで可搬な構成となっている。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example in which a desktop holder type IC tag reader / writer according to an embodiment of the present invention and a mobile phone are connected and configured in use.
卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタは図２に内部透視図で示したように、卓上ホルダ型をしたケース１８内の端部にアンテナ１１を配し、アンテナの送受信の信号線路が接続されリード・ライトをおこなう高周波回路（ＲＦ）回路が配されたＲＦ基板１２と信号処理用のロジック回路が配されたコントロール基板１３が順に接続されている。またコントロール基板には回路駆動用の電池を搭載した駆動用電池ユニット１４と、携帯電話機と信号をやりとりするインターフェイスである接続用端子１５が接続されてなる。また外部から駆動用電源を供給するための充電器接続端子１７や、ＰＣ等の外部機器と接続可能な外部機器接続インターフェイス１６を配して多岐の用途に対応してもよい。そのＰＣとの接続例を図６に斜視図で示す。８は接続ケーブルであり、４はＰＣ等の外部接続機器を示すが、ホストサーバ或いはその他の外部接続機器であってもよい。
As shown in the internal perspective view of FIG. 2, the desktop holder type IC tag reader / writer has an
他の図面を参照して、更に説明を続ける。図３は本発明のＩＣタグリーダ／ライタの使用状況を示す斜視図であり、ＩＣタグが配された商品３１からＩＣタグ３の情報を読み取る様子を示した。
Further description will be continued with reference to other drawings. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the usage status of the IC tag reader / writer of the present invention, and shows how the information of the
図４は図３の使用状況での携帯電話機のディスプレイ表示例を示す図であり、２は携帯電話機本体、２１は携帯電話機ディスプレイを示す。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display display example of the mobile phone in the usage state of FIG. 3, wherein 2 is a mobile phone body, and 21 is a mobile phone display.
また、携帯電話機と接続することを鑑みると、昨今の携帯電話機内のベースバンドＩＣは高性能化の一途を辿っており、本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタ内のコントロール基板で信号処理させず、携帯電話機内のＣＰＵ、ベースバンドＩＣに信号処理させてもよい。このようにすることで本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタ内のコントロール基板を廃することができ、更なる低価格化、信頼性の向上、小型軽量化をはかることができる。 In view of the connection with the mobile phone, the baseband IC in the recent mobile phone has been improved in performance, and the signal processing is performed by the control board in the desktop holder type IC tag reader / writer of the present invention. Instead, signal processing may be performed by the CPU or baseband IC in the mobile phone. By doing so, the control board in the desktop holder type IC tag reader / writer of the present invention can be eliminated, and further reduction in price, improvement in reliability, and reduction in size and weight can be achieved.
更には、携帯電話機に搭載された駆動用電池から、本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタヘ駆動用電源として電力を供給させてもよい。このようにすることで本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタ内の電池ユニット１４を廃することができ、これによっても低価格化、信頼性の向上、小型軽量化をはかることができる。逆に本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタ内の駆動用電池から携帯電話機へ電源供給できるようにすれば、万一の携帯電話機の電池切れの際には緊急補助バッテリーとして用いることもできる。また、外部電源から本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタを介し、携帯電話機の充電池へと充電できるような構造とすれば単純な卓上ホルダとして使うこともできる。もちろん本発明の卓上ホルダ型ＩＣタグリーダ／ライタ内の充電池へ充電できるような構造としてもよい。
Furthermore, power may be supplied from a driving battery mounted on a cellular phone to the desktop holder type IC tag reader / writer of the present invention as a driving power source. By doing so, the
その他、携帯電話機と接続することから、携帯電話機のディスプレイをタグ情報の表示部として用いたり、携帯電話に搭載された通信手段を用いて、すなわち携帯電話網、パケット通信網、ブルートゥース、無線ＬＡＮ、ＩｒＤＡ等を用いて、他所と通信したり、携帯電話機に搭載されたアプリケーション実行環境を利用して（Ｊａｖａ（登録商標）、ＢＲＥＷ（登録商標）等）、アプリケーションからデータを利活用することもできる。 In addition, since it is connected to a mobile phone, the display of the mobile phone is used as a tag information display unit, or communication means mounted on the mobile phone, that is, a mobile phone network, a packet communication network, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, Using IrDA etc., you can communicate with other places or use the application execution environment installed in the mobile phone (Java (registered trademark), BREW (registered trademark), etc.) to use the data from the application .
その通信手段を図面によって更に説明する。図５は本発明のＩＣタグリーダ／ライタの使用状態と携帯電話機に搭載された通信手段を用いた通信例を示す図である。５は携帯電話網の基地局であり、パケット通信網基地局又は無線ＬＡＮアクセスポイントであってもよい。また６は遠隔地ホストサーバ、７はインターネットを示す。
The communication means will be further described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a use state of the IC tag reader / writer of the present invention and an example of communication using communication means mounted on a mobile phone.
尚、これらは全てが同時に適用される必要はなく、単独でも複合でも適用可能であることは言うまでもない。 Needless to say, all of these need not be applied simultaneously, and can be applied individually or in combination.
