Digital content worth writing is written.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the information recording unit 4 includes a transmission / reception antenna 40 and a tag 41 in which distribution management information is recorded.

  The antenna 40 is for receiving a wireless signal transmitted from a reader / writer device (or a reader device or writer device) (not shown) or transmitting a wireless signal to the reader / writer device. An antenna wire 40a made of conductive ink (also referred to as conductive ink). The antenna wire 40a circulates along the outer edge of the prize base 3 on the one surface of the prize base 3, and the product part 2 It is formed in a shape that crosses (passes over the product part 2). The antenna 40 is configured to transmit and receive a radio signal having a predetermined frequency. Here, the predetermined frequency is a short wave band (for example, 13.56 MHz), a UHF band (for example, 953 MHz), a microwave band (for example, 2.45 GHz), a long wave band (for example, 135 KHz), or the like. As the conductive ink, a silver paste, a conductive paste such as a copper paste or a carbon paste, or a mixture of a plurality of types of conductive paste is used. The antenna 40 may have a shape in which a plurality of conductive layers made of a conductive paste are stacked in the thickness direction.

  The tag 41 is, for example, a semiconductor memory (not shown) in which distribution management information is recorded, a receiving circuit (not shown) that demodulates a radio signal received by the antenna 40, and a radio signal transmitted by the antenna 40. When an antenna 40 receives an information write signal from a reader / writer device, it includes an IC chip including a transmission circuit (not shown) for performing modulation and the like, and a control circuit (not shown) for controlling these. The distribution management information transmitted from the reader / writer device is recorded in the semiconductor memory, and the distribution management information recorded in the semiconductor memory is transmitted to the antenna 40 when the antenna 40 receives the information read signal of the reader device. Reading means. These means are realized by software or the like. Further, the tag 41 is embedded in a part other than the product part 2 in the prize base 3, and is electrically connected to the antenna line 40a by the connection line 40b of the antenna 40, whereby the tag 41 and the reader / writer device are connected. Communication is now possible. Here, as the IC chip of the tag 41, an IC chip that does not have a built-in power supply (battery) is used. Therefore, the information recording unit 4 is supplied with power by a radio signal transmitted from the reader / writer device. Sometimes, the above-described operation is performed.

The second adhesive member 7 is formed in a rectangular plate shape whose outer size is smaller than that of the product portion 2, and the other surface side in the thickness direction (the lower surface side in FIG. 8) is one surface side in the thickness direction of the product portion 2 (see FIG. 8 is bonded to the other surface side (the lower surface side in FIG. 8) in the thickness direction of the removal portion 44a including the tag 41 of the information recording unit 4 and the connection line 40b of the antenna 40. The Here, the second adhesive member 7 disconnects the connection line 40b when the product part 2 is removed from a part of the circuit part where the information recording part 4 becomes unusable when the product part 2 is peeled off from the substrate 44, for example. An adhesive material that is bonded to the part 40c (see FIG. 10) of the connection line 40b with an adhesive strength higher than the adhesive strength between the part 40c and the substrate 44 is used.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the information recording unit 4 has a second adhesive layer 6 on the other side (the lower side in FIG. 12) in the thickness direction of the portion other than the removal unit 44 b on the substrate 44. A product portion that is bonded to the bottom surface of the storage portion 3d and the other side (the lower surface side in FIG. 12) in the thickness direction of the substrate 44 is stored in the first storage portion 3b of the prize base 3 by the second adhesive member 7. The product part 2 is fixed to the prize base 3 by the information recording part 4. Further, in a state where the information recording unit 4 is stored in the second storage unit 3c, the information recording unit 4 covers the product unit 2 on the side opposite to the premium base 3 side in the product unit 2 (first storage unit 3b). In order to take out the product part 2 from the prize base 3, it is necessary to remove the removal part 44a. In FIG. 12, the antenna line 40a is omitted.

  After the information recording unit 4 is stored in the second storage unit 3c, the rewrite layer 5 is disposed on the one surface side of the prize base 3 so as to cover the information recording unit 4, and the other surface in the thickness direction of the rewrite layer 5 is disposed. The rewrite layer 5 is adhered to the one surface of the prize base 3 and one surface in the thickness direction of the information recording unit 4 (one surface in the thickness direction of the substrate 44) by the adhesive layer 8 applied to the side, and FIG. The separated giveaway 1 having the configuration shown in (c) is obtained. Here, the adhesive layer 8 is made of an adhesive material that removes the removal portion 44a from the substrate 44 together with the separation portion 5c when the separation portion 5c of the rewritable layer 5 is peeled off.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the separated prize 1 described above has a product section 2 stored in the first storage section 3 b of the prize base 3 and integrated with the prize base 3. The distribution management information can be read from the information recording unit 4 by the writer device.

  By the way, in the separated prize 1 of the present embodiment, the product part 2 is stored in the first storage part 3b of the prize base 3, and is covered by the removal part 44a of the information recording part 4 and the peeling part 5c of the rewrite layer 5. Has been. Therefore, the operation for enabling the product unit 2 includes an operation for exposing the product unit 2 from the information recording unit 4 and the rewrite layer 5 and an operation for taking out the product unit 2 from the first storage unit 3b of the premium base 3. It is out.

  And operation which exposes the product part 2 from the information recording part 4 and the rewrite layer 5 is performed by peeling the peeling part 5c of the rewrite layer 5 from the prize base 3, and if the peeling part 5c is peeled, the peeling part 5c At the same time, the removal portion 44 a is removed from the substrate 44, and the product portion 2 is exposed, so that the product portion 2 can be detached from the premium base 3.

  Thus, when the removal part 44a of the board | substrate 44 is removed, since the connection line 40b of a circuit part is formed in the form covering both the site | parts of the board | substrate 44 except the removal part 44a and the removal part 44a, it is a connection line. Since 40b is divided and the information recording unit 4 becomes unusable, the distribution management information cannot be read. Further, since the product part 2 is bonded to the part 40c of the connecting wire 40b with an adhesive strength stronger than the adhesive strength between the part 40c and the substrate 44, the removal part 44a is peeled off from the product part 2. Since the part 40c of the connection line 40b of the antenna 40 remains together with the second adhesive member 7 in the product part 2, the information recording part 4 becomes unusable (damaged state).

  In other words, in the separated type prize 1 of the present embodiment, the product base 2 is held in the prize base 3 in a state of being covered by the removal part 44a and the peeling part 5a that are shielding members that cannot read the digital content information. In the process of making the product part 2 usable, a part of the information recording part 4 is used so that the distribution management information cannot be read when the removing part 44a and the peeling part 5a serving as the covering members are removed. It becomes impossible.

  In this case, even if the product part 2 or the removal part 44a is returned to the original position, the cut connection line 40b is not joined, so there is no substitute for the information recording part 4 being damaged, The distribution management information cannot be read from the information recording unit 4 by the reader / writer device.

  In the separated prize 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the method of removing the removal portion 44a and taking out the product portion 2 is the regular takeout method of the product portion 2, but the first storage portion 3b in the prize base 3 is used. It is conceivable that the product part 2 is taken out from the prize base 3 without removing the removal part 44a by cutting or the like corresponding to.

  However, in order to remove the product part 2 from the prize base 3, the product part 2 needs to be peeled off from the information recording part 4, and when the product part 2 is peeled off from the information recording part 4, a part 40c of the connecting line 40b becomes a product part. 2 is peeled off from the substrate 44 of the information recording unit 4 and the information recording unit 4 becomes unusable. Accordingly, the distribution management information cannot be read out, and the product unit 2 is connected to the prize base 3 by a method other than a regular extraction method. Even if it is removed from the information recording unit 4, the information recording unit 4 can be disabled.

  In this case, even if the product part 2 is returned to the original position, the part 40c of the connection line 40b and the part other than the part 40c of the connection line 40b are not joined, so that the information recording part 4 is damaged. There is no substitute, and the distribution management information cannot be read from the information recording unit 4 by the reader / writer device.

  That is, when the product unit 2 is taken out from the prize base 3, the reader / writer device removes the product unit 2 from the information recording unit 4 regardless of whether the take-out method is a regular method or not. Distribution management information cannot be read.

  Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not the product unit 2 has been used based on whether or not the distribution management information can be read from the separated premium 1 by the reader / writer device.

  According to the separated prize 1 of the present embodiment described above, since the digital content is recorded in the product section 2, the customer is recorded in the product section 2 by removing the product section 2 from the premium base 3. You can play and enjoy existing digital content.

  In addition, when removing the product portion 2 from the prize base 3, when the removal portion 44a of the substrate 44 is removed, the connection line 44a of the circuit portion is connected to both of the portions of the substrate 44 excluding the removal portion 44a and the removal portion 44a. Since the connection line 44a of the circuit unit is divided and the information recording unit 4 becomes unusable because it is formed in a wide shape, it becomes impossible to read the distribution management information, and the separated premium after use (used) 1 can be prevented from being exchanged (unauthorized exchange).

  On the other hand, even if an attempt is made to remove the product part 2 from the prize base 3 by a method other than the regular extraction method of removing a removal part 44a of the substrate 44 by cutting a part of the prize base 3, the product part 2 In order to remove from the gift base 3, it is necessary to peel off the product part 2 from the information recording part 4, and when the product part 2 is peeled off from the information recording part 4, a part of the circuit part (part 40c of the connecting line 40b) is the product. Since the information recording unit 4 becomes unusable because it is peeled off from the substrate 44 of the information recording unit 4 together with the unit 2, the distribution management information cannot be read out, and the product unit 2 is used as a prize base by a method other than the regular extraction method. Even when the information recording unit 4 is removed from the information recording unit 3, the information recording unit 4 can be disabled, and the separation-type prize 1 after use can be prevented from being replaced.

  In the separation type prize 1 of the present embodiment, a part of the circuit unit that cannot be used when the information recording unit 4 is peeled off from the substrate 44 is a part 40c of the connection line 40b. The tag 41 may be used, or part of the antenna line 40a may be used. The connection line 40b may be used as a whole, or the antenna line 40a may be used.

(Embodiment 9)
The separated prize 1 of the present embodiment is a prize base 3 provided with a merchandise part 2 and a first storage part 3b in which the merchandise part 2 can be attached and detached (detachable) on one side in the thickness direction. And an information recording section 4 provided on the prize base 3, and a rewrite layer 5 provided on the one surface side of the prize base 3 so as to expose the product section 2. In addition, since the goods part 2 in this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 8, description is abbreviate | omitted. The prize base 3 in the present embodiment is different from the eighth embodiment in that the second storage unit 3c is not provided, and other configurations are the same as those in the eighth embodiment. Further, the rewrite layer 5 in the present embodiment is implemented in that it includes an opening (not shown) that exposes the first storage portion 3b of the prize base 3 in place of the peeling portion 5c and the through hole 5d. Different from Form 8.

  The information recording unit 4 in the present embodiment includes a tag 41, an antenna 40, and a battery (secondary battery) (not shown) serving as a power source for the tag 41. In the information recording unit 4 in the present embodiment, the tag 41 and the battery are embedded in the prize base 3, and the antenna 40 is mounted on the one surface side of the prize base 3. Here, the antenna wire 40a of the antenna 40 is formed on the one surface side of the prize base 3 so as to pass (cross) the first storage portion 3b, and the product portion 2 is stored in the first storage portion 3b. At this time, the antenna wire 40a and the product part 2 come into contact with each other. As a result, the impedance of the antenna wire 40a changes between when the product part 2 is stored in the first storage part 3b and when it is not stored. That is, the antenna line 40 a constitutes a detection means for detecting whether or not the product part 2 is stored in the first storage part 3 b of the prize base 3.

  In the tag 41 according to this embodiment, in addition to the writing unit and the reading unit, is the product unit 2 stored in the first storage unit 3b by detecting the impedance of the antenna wire 40a and comparing it with a predetermined threshold value? Determining means for determining whether or not (the product unit 2 is attached to the prize base 3) and a first operation mode for permitting reading of the distribution management information for the operation mode of the tag 41 (the operation mode of the information recording unit 4). Operation mode switching means (security control means) for switching between the operation mode (unlock mode) and the second operation mode (lock mode) in which reading of distribution management information is not permitted. Note that the determination unit and the operation mode switching unit are realized by software or the like.

  The operation mode switching unit sets the operation mode to the first operation mode while the determination unit determines that the product unit 2 is stored in the first storage unit 3b. The operation mode switching unit switches the operation mode from the first operation mode to the second operation mode when the determination unit determines that the product unit 2 is not stored in the first storage unit 3b. When the operation mode is set, the operation mode is not switched even if the determination unit determines that the product unit 2 is stored in the first storage unit 3b.

  Therefore, in the information recording unit 4 in the present embodiment, the distribution management information can be read out until it is determined that the product unit 2 has been removed from the premium base 3, and it is determined that the product unit 2 has been removed from the premium base 3. After that, the distribution management information cannot be read out. That is, it is determined whether or not the product unit 2 has been used depending on whether or not the product unit 2 has been removed from the premium base 3. Specifically, the product unit 2 has been removed from the premium base 3 once. Otherwise, the product part 2 is unused, and if the product part 2 is once removed from the premium base 3, it is determined that the product part 2 is used.

  By the way, as described above, when the operation mode switching means is set to the second operation mode, the operation mode is switched even if the determination means determines that the product section 2 is stored in the first storage section 3b. However, it is determined that the product unit 2 is stored in the first storage unit 3b by the determination unit, and the distribution management information is read from the external device (for example, the information recording unit 4). When a signal having special command information such as a reset signal of the reader / writer device) is input to the information recording unit 4, the operation mode is changed from the second operation mode to the first operation mode. It is configured to switch. Therefore, after the product unit 2 is returned to the free gift base 3, the reset signal of the external device is input to the information recording unit 4 to switch the operation mode of the information recording unit 4 to the first operation mode, thereby separating the free gift. 1 reproduction processing (operation to return the product section 2 to the state in which it is determined that it is unused) can be performed.

  The separated prize 1 described above is set in the first operation mode in a state in which the product section 2 is integrally provided on the prize base 3, and is distributed from the information recording section 4 by the reader / writer device. Management information can be read out.

  Here, in order to read the digital content from the product unit 2, when the product unit 2 is taken out from the first storage unit 3b of the premium base 3, the determination unit determines that the product unit 2 is not stored in the first storage unit 3b. Accordingly, the operation mode switching means switches the operation mode from the first operation mode to the second operation mode, whereby the information recording unit 4 becomes unusable and the distribution management information can be read out. become unable.

  Then, after the operation mode is switched to the second operation mode, the operation mode switching unit does not switch the operation mode even if the determination unit determines that the product unit 2 is stored in the first storage unit 3b. Therefore, even if the taken out product part 2 is returned to the first storage part 3b of the premium base 3, the distribution management information cannot be read from the information recording part 4.

  Therefore, in the separated giveaway 1 of the present embodiment as well, as in the eighth embodiment, the product section 2 is used depending on whether the distribution management information can be read from the separated prize 1 by the reader / writer device. It can be determined whether or not.

  According to the separated prize 1 of the present embodiment described above, since the digital content is recorded in the product section 2, the customer is recorded in the product section 2 by removing the product section 2 from the premium base 3. You can play and enjoy existing digital content. Further, when the customer removes the product unit 2 from the premium base 3, the distribution management information in the information recording unit 4 cannot be read, so the product unit 2 once removed from the premium base 3 is returned to the premium base 3 ( Whether or not the product part 2 of the separated prize 1 is used in the prize exchange depending on whether or not the distribution management information can be read out even if the attached prize 1 is exchanged for goods or the like at the prize exchange. Therefore, it is possible to prevent replacement (unauthorized replacement) of separated-type prizes after use (used) and to improve reliability. Further, counterfeit prizes and prize distribution management can be performed by the distribution management information of the information recording unit 4.

  In addition, when the product unit 2 is removed from the prize base 3, the information recording unit 4 is damaged by disconnecting the antenna 40 of the information recording unit 4 or separating the antenna 40 and the tag 41. Unlike the first to eighth embodiments in which the recording unit 4 is physically unusable, the information recording unit 4 does not have to be physically unusable, so that the separated prize can be easily reused. Become. Furthermore, by inputting the reset signal of the external device to the information recording unit 4, it is possible to perform the separation processing of the separated type prize, so that the reproduction processing can be further facilitated.
