Description

  The present invention relates to a laminated sheet-like product provided with a non-contact recognition device, and in particular, attaches an IC tag to each sheet of a laminated product in which a plurality of sheets such as a delivery slip for a courier are stacked, and individually attaches them. It relates to technology that enables reading and writing.

  With the advancement of IC technology, a non-contact type recognition device using proximity wireless communication called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification / Radio Frequency Identification) or IC tag has been developed and used in recent years. Such a non-contact recognition device (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a tag) generally includes a communication control circuit, an IC chip incorporating a memory, and an antenna, and is wirelessly connected to a host device (reader / writer) at a short distance. By performing communication, it is possible to read information in the memory or write information in the memory.

  As a usage form of the non-contact recognition device, for example, a tag is attached to a ticket to determine whether it is a regular ticket (Patent Document 1 below), or a tag is placed on a document for management (Patent Document 2 below). ) Proposals have been made. In addition, in order to enable handling of various information on a book supply chain, there are some which attach a tag to a book (Patent Document 3 below) or arrange a tag on a package of food and drink (Patent Document 4 below). . Furthermore, a proposal has been made to perform delivery management by attaching a tag to a delivery slip of a home delivery cargo or a mail parcel (Patent Document 5 below).

JP 2000-326672 A JP 2002-120475 A JP 2002-337482 A JP 2003-155062 A JP 2003-221126 A

  By the way, the use form of the conventional non-contact recognition device is only to manage information by attaching a tag to a single document or sheet, and a plurality of sheets such as a delivery slip used for a parcel delivery package or a mail parcel. Each sheet is managed individually by reading and writing information specific to each sheet of slips and documents that are stacked (forms), in other words, at each stage of package delivery (for example, at the reception of luggage, at a collection / delivery office in the reception area) (1) handling and transport of goods, handling of goods at a collection / delivery center in the delivery destination area, and receipt of delivery packages at the delivery destination), by reading and writing information unique to each stage, to manage the delivery process more precisely in time series I can't.

  Because, when a tag is attached to each form, the contactless recognition device can communicate with the tag provided in the lower form, unlike a barcode that optically reads data, even if the tag position (antenna position) is set. This is because it is impossible to selectively communicate (transfer data) only with a desired tag even if it is slightly shifted.

  Similarly to Patent Documents 1 to 4, the invention of Patent Document 5 relating to delivery management is simply a tag attached to a slip, and information unique to the entire slip is stored and used. Therefore, information unique to each stage of delivery (each form) cannot be used by reading and writing. For example, a tag is provided for each form so that information can be read and written only to a specific (for example, the top layer) form. I can't do anything.

  On the other hand, even in a usage form that does not require information management unique to each sheet, the information stored in the tag (for the sheet separated from the sheet attached with the tag in the handling process (for example, the delivery stage)) ( Electronic data) can no longer be obtained, and there is inconvenience that it cannot be used.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to enable reading / writing only to a tag of a desired sheet (particularly, the uppermost layer) in a laminated sheet-like product having a plurality of sheets provided with a non-contact recognition device. is there.

  In order to achieve the object and solve the problem, the first laminated sheet product of the present invention is a laminated sheet product obtained by laminating a plurality of sheets, and two or more of the plurality of sheets Each of the sheets includes a non-contact recognition device main body including a storage unit capable of storing information and a communication circuit and a non-contact recognition device including an antenna wiring, and the antenna wiring is different from each other when viewed from a plane. Among the two or more sheets provided with the non-contact recognition device, the sheet including the other sheet provided with the non-contact recognition device in the lower layer is provided with a conductor portion, and the conductive The body part was formed so as to cover the antenna wiring provided on the other sheet of the lower layer when viewed from the plane.

  In the first laminated sheet-like product of the present invention, a non-contact recognition device (tag) is provided on two or more sheets of a laminated sheet-like product obtained by laminating a plurality of sheets. When the antenna wiring of the tag is viewed from a plane In order to cover the antenna wiring of the lower layer sheet, the conductor unit is provided on the lower layer of the sheet having the tag (non-contact recognition device) disposed on the lower layer. I made it. Therefore, when communicating with a tag provided on a sheet (reading and writing data), the conductor provided on the sheet covers the antenna wiring of the sheet below the sheet and communicates with the tag on the lower sheet. This prevents data from being read from and written to only the tag provided on the upper sheet.

  The type and material of the conductor portion are not particularly limited, but can be constituted by, for example, a conductor film formed of carbon paste, or a film made of copper, aluminum, or other metal. In order to form the conductor portion, the conductor portion may be formed on the front surface or the back surface of the sheet by, for example, application, adhesion, welding, pressure bonding, or the like.

  In addition, the non-contact recognition device according to the present invention is not necessarily limited to a passive tag that reads and writes by supplying power from a reader / writer or a reader (in the present application, both of which are included). Instead, the tag includes a power supply type tag that has a power supply source in the tag and operates regardless of power supply from the reader / writer. Furthermore, any type of tag that can both read and write information, a write-once type that can be written only once, or a read-only type that can only be read is included in the contactless recognition device of the present invention. .

  Further, the laminated sheet-like product referred to in the present invention includes various sheet-like products provided in a state where a plurality of sheets are stacked in addition to a delivery slip used for delivery of a package, for example, tickets such as coupon tickets and documents. The present invention can be widely applied to these. Further, the type, material, shape, size, and the like of the sheet are not particularly limited, and may be, for example, paper, resin film, cloth, a composite sheet material formed of two or more materials, and various other sheet materials.

  Furthermore, the second laminated sheet product of the present invention is a laminated sheet product obtained by laminating a plurality of sheets, and information can be stored in each of two or more of the plurality of sheets. A non-contact recognition device including a non-contact recognition device main body including a storage unit and a communication circuit and an antenna wiring is provided, and the antenna wiring is disposed so as to be positioned in substantially the same region when viewed from a plane, When two or more sheets provided with a non-contact recognition device are provided with a conductor part on a sheet having another sheet provided with a non-contact recognition device in the lower layer, and the conductor part is viewed from a plane It was formed so as to cover the antenna wiring provided on the other sheet of the lower layer.

  In the second laminated sheet product of the present invention, the antenna wiring is arranged so as to be located in substantially the same region when viewed from the plane. Since a conductor is provided to cover the antenna wiring provided on the sheet, communication with the lower tag is blocked by this conductor, and data is read and written by communicating only with the uppermost tag. I can do it.

  In the first and second laminated sheet products, the conductor portion is provided on the sheet provided with the non-contact recognition device, but the conductor portion may be provided on another sheet. That is, a sheet (hereinafter referred to as a conductor sheet) provided with a conductor portion covering the antenna wiring provided on the lower layer sheet is provided between the sheets provided with the non-contact recognition device or on the outermost surface. May be. Even with such a laminated sheet structure, the antenna wiring of the lower layer sheet is covered by the conductor sheet, and the communication with the tag of the lower layer sheet is possible, as in the first and second laminated sheet products (conductor parts). Since it is blocked, it is possible to communicate only with the tag of the upper sheet.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it becomes possible to read / write only to the tag of a desired (especially uppermost layer) sheet | seat in the laminated sheet-like product which has the several sheet | seat provided with the non-contact recognition apparatus in the laminated | stacked state.

  Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments of the present invention.

  1 and 2 show a delivery slip for home delivery as a laminated sheet product according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in these figures, the delivery slip 11 is composed of a requester slip 11a, a window supplier slip 11b, a delivery vendor slip 11c, and a delivery destination slip in order from the top surface (front surface of the slip) to the bottom surface (back surface of the slip).

And has a power supply circuit 33. Power for operation is supplied from the reader / writer to the power supply circuit 33 through the antennas 15a to 15d.

  For each of the forms 11a to 11d, the tags 16a to 16d are arranged on the tag arrangement parts 13a to 13d on the surface of the form. When the antennas 15a to 15d of each tag are viewed from the plane (upper surface), the tag arrangement parts 13a to 13d are arranged. Are arranged so as to be located in different areas. That is, below the antenna 15a provided in the uppermost form 11a of the slip 11 (in the thickness direction of the slip), there are no antennas 15b to 15d provided in the lower forms 11b to 11d. There are no antennas 15c to 15d provided in the lower forms 11c to 11d below the antenna 15b provided in the 11b, and further below the antenna 15c provided in the third form 11c. The arrangement positions of the respective antennas (tags) are made different so that the antenna 15d provided on the form 11d does not exist.

  Then, the client's slip 11a which is the uppermost layer (first layer), the windower slip 11b which is the lower layer (second layer), and the delivery carrier copy which is the lower layer (third layer) Conductor portions 18a to 18c are provided on the surface of each form of the form 11c. When viewed from above, these conductor portions 18a to 18c are antennas 15b provided in the lower forms 11b to 11d than the forms 11a provided with the conductor portions 18a (the same applies to the conductor portions 18b and 18c). The shape and size covering ˜15d. Communication with the tags 16a (the same applies to the tags 16b and 16c) when communicating (reading and writing data) with the tags 16b to 16d provided in the lower forms 11b to 11d than the form 11a provided with the tag 16a This is to shut off.

  More specifically, the conductor portion 18a provided on the uppermost form 11a covers the antennas 15b to 15d provided on the lower forms 11b to 11d, and the conductor provided on the second form 11b. The part 18b covers the antennas 15c to 15d provided on the lower forms 11c to 11d, and the conductor part 18c provided on the third form 11c covers the antenna 15d provided on the lower form 11d. It is provided as follows. In addition, each conductor part 18a-18c can be formed by apply | coating a carbon paste with a printing method, for example.

  The conductor portions 18a to 18c desirably cover the lower antenna completely in order to more completely cut off communication with the lower tag, but cover a part (for example, most) of the lower antenna. However, since the lower layer antenna function (tag communication function) can be blocked, such a configuration is also included in the present invention. Furthermore, the conductor portions 18a to 18c are not necessarily provided integrally with the forms 11a to 11c, and may be configured as separate sheets.

  In the above embodiment, the tags 16a to 16d (IC chips 14a to 14d and the antennas 15a to 15d) are provided on the front surface of the form, but may be provided on the back surface of each form. Further, the IC chips 14a to 14d are provided on the front surface of the forms 11a to 11d, and the antennas 15a to 15d are provided on the back surface of the forms 11a to 11d, or conversely, the IC chips 14a to 14d are provided on the back surface and the antennas 15a to 15d are provided on the front surface. It is also possible to provide it. Furthermore, the number of sheets (sheets) to be stacked is not limited to four, and may be two, three, or five or more. In addition, a form having no tag may be included in the slip 11. Further, the shape and size of the conductor portions 18a to 18c are not particularly limited as long as they can cover the antenna below the conductor portion.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the antennas provided in each form are arranged so as to be positioned in different regions, but the following configuration may be adopted for the antennas.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the antenna from the top layer antenna 15a to the bottom layer antenna 15d is configured to become smaller in order, and when viewed from the plane, the second layer antenna 15b is included in the top layer antenna 15a. And the second layer antenna 15b includes the third layer antenna 15c, and the third layer antenna 15c includes the lowermost layer antenna 15d so as to be concentric or coaxial. The antennas 15a to 15d are arranged. And conductor part 18a-18c is each provided in the inner area | region of each antenna 15a-15c from the uppermost layer 11a to the form 11c of the lowermost one layer (in this case 3rd layer), and each conductor part 18a to 18c cover the lower antenna. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to communicate only with the uppermost tag.

  According to the delivery slip 11 of the above-described embodiment, when communication is performed by applying a reader / writer to the tag 16a of the uppermost requester slip 11a, the conductor portion 18a provided in the requester slip 11a is used for the lower layer. Communication with the tags 16b to 16d of each form (counter trader slip 11b, delivery trader slip 11c and delivery destination slip 11d) is blocked, and data is read and written only to the tag 16a of the requester slip 11a. It becomes possible.

  In addition, when the client owner slip 11a is peeled off and the window supplier slip 11b is the top layer, the conductor 18b provided in the window supplier slip 11b is connected to each lower layer form (delivery vendor slip). 11c and the tags 16c and 16d of the delivery destination slip 11d) can be cut off, and only the tag 16b of the windower slip 11b can be communicated. The same applies to the delivery trader slip 11c.

  Therefore, according to the delivery slip, it is possible to perform delivery management more finely than before by reading and writing information unique to each form in the delivery process of the parcel delivery package. Further, even when any of the forms 11a to 11d is separated during the delivery process, the forms 11a to 11d are provided with the tags 16a to 16d, so that data is stored in these tags 16a to 16d. This makes it possible to use electronic data.
