Description

  The present invention relates to a personal identification non-contact IC tag to be attached to a shoe and a shoe with a personal identification function to which the personal identification non-contact IC tag is attached.

  In recent years, a system using a non-contact IC tag has been used in the medical field. For example, when a medical worker wears a non-contact IC tag and uses a medical device, the system is recorded on the non-contact IC tag. The personal identification information of a medical worker is read by a reader installed in the medical device, and based on the personal identification information, the presence or absence of a qualification to access the medical device is identified. Those that allow access to the device are known.

  The above-mentioned systems include those that use a non-contact IC tag lowered from the neck and those that are attached to the chest like a badge. Individuals recorded on the non-contact IC tag from a position away from the reader There is a convenience that allows the reader to read the identification information.

  However, when a medical worker with a pacemaker embedded in the heart attaches a non-contact IC tag to the upper body, the non-contact IC tag and the pacemaker are close to each other, so the personal identification information written on the non-contact IC tag is used as a reader. Electromagnetic waves generated when reading may affect the operation of the pacemaker.

  Also, when a medical worker with a non-contact IC tag on the upper body performs a medical act on a patient who has a pacemaker embedded in the heart, the non-contact IC tag of the medical worker is close to the patient's pacemaker. There is a possibility that electromagnetic waves generated when the reader reads the personal identification information written on the tag may affect the operation of the patient's pacemaker.

  In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to secure a distance between the pacemaker and the non-contact IC tag by attaching the non-contact IC tag to the shoe. The thing provided horizontally below is known (patent document 1).

This shoe generates an electromagnetic wave from the antenna of the non-contact IC tag when it steps on a mat in which the reader's antenna is embedded, and receives the electromagnetic wave from the antenna of the reader, thereby recording an individual recorded on the non-contact IC tag. The identification information is read by a reader (Patent Document 1).

  However, if the reader antenna is provided on a mat separate from the medical device, it is necessary to move the mat when the medical device is moved. In order to save this trouble, it is conceivable to attach the reader directly to the medical device and integrate the medical device and the reader. However, when integrating the medical device and the reader, the personal identification information transmitted from the non-contact IC tag is In order to read with the reader antenna, it is necessary to shorten the communication distance between the contactless IC tag attached to the shoe and the reader antenna. Therefore, it is appropriate to install the reader antenna on the lower front of the medical device. is there.

  However, since the non-contact IC tag of the above shoes is horizontal, when the reader antenna is installed on the lower front surface of the medical device, the displacement of the antenna axis direction of the non-contact IC tag with respect to the reader antenna axis direction is large. The personal identification information of the medical staff recorded on the contact IC tag cannot be read stably.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to stabilize the reading of the personal identification information by the antenna of the reader installed on the lower front surface of the medical device when the contactless IC tag in which the personal identification information is recorded is attached to the shoe. is there.

  In order to solve the above problems, an inlet made of an IC chip on which personal identification information is recorded and a film on which an antenna connected to the IC chip is printed is accommodated in a flexible sealing case, and the sealing case is stored in a shoe. It was made detachable on the instep. In this way, the non-contact IC tag attached to the back of the shoe is inclined forward and downward, so that when the reader antenna is installed on the lower front surface of the medical device, the direction of the antenna axis of the non-contact IC tag The deviation of the direction of the antenna axis of the reader with respect to is reduced, and the personal identification information of the medical staff recorded on the non-contact IC tag can be read stably by the reader.

  Since the non-contact IC tag for personal identification of the present invention is attached to the back of the shoe, the personal identification information of the medical staff recorded on the non-contact IC tag is obtained by the reader antenna attached to the lower front surface of the medical device. It can be read stably.

  In addition, since the sealed case that accommodates the inlet has flexibility, the sealed case is deformed along the instep portion when walking with shoes on, so that a sense of incongruity does not occur.

  Furthermore, since the sealed case that accommodates the inlet is detachable, when the shoe is damaged, only the shoe can be replaced without replacing the non-contact IC tag. Similarly, when the non-contact IC tag is broken, only the non-contact IC tag can be replaced without replacing shoes, which is economical.

  FIG. 1 shows a contactless IC tag 1 for personal identification according to an embodiment of the present invention. The non-contact IC tag 1 includes an inlet 2 and a sealed case 3 that accommodates the inlet 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inlet 2 has an antenna 4 made of a conductor printed on a surface of an insulating resin film 5 in a spiral shape along the periphery thereof. The antenna 4 is connected to an IC chip 6 in which personal identification information is recorded, and the personal identification information can be transmitted via electromagnetic waves generated from the antenna 4.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sealed case 3 has a top sheet 7 and a back sheet 8 made of soft plastic. As shown in FIG. 4, the top sheet 7 and the back sheet 8 have the peripheral edge 9 of the top sheet 7 and the peripheral edge 10 of the back sheet 8 welded to each other with the inlet 2 sandwiched between them, such as water or alcohol. Even if the liquid adheres to the sealed case 3, the intrusion of the liquid is prevented.

  A hook-and-loop fastener 11 is attached to the back sheet 8, and the sealed case 3 can be attached to and detached from the instep portion 13 of the shoe 12 by the hook-and-loop fastener 11 as shown in FIG. 5.

  The non-contact IC tag 1 is attached to the shoe 12 by attaching a hook-and-loop fastener 14 to the upper portion 13 of the shoe 12 in advance and bonding the hook-and-loop fastener 11 to the hook-and-loop fastener 14. As shown in FIG. 6, a shoe 15 with a personal identification function in which the non-contact IC tag 1 is attached to a shoe 12 has a size in which the sealed case 3 covers the upper portion 13. 7 and the back sheet 8 are made of soft plastic and have flexibility, so that the sealed case 3 is deformed along the instep portion 13 and does not give a sense of incongruity when walking with the shoes 15 with the personal identification function. It has become.

  By using the shoe 15 with the personal identification function, access to the medical device 16 can be restricted as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 7, the antenna 18 of the reader 17 is installed on the lower front surface of the medical device 16, and electromagnetic waves for operating the non-contact IC tag 1 are generated from the antenna 18. When the medical worker 19 wearing the shoe 15 with the personal identification function approaches the medical device 16, the non-contact IC tag 1 of the shoe 15 with the personal identification function receives the electromagnetic wave from the reader 17 by the antenna 4, and the IC chip 6 The antenna 4 generates an electromagnetic wave corresponding to the personal identification information recorded in the antenna 4. The reader 17 reads personal identification information from the electromagnetic wave generated from the non-contact IC tag 1 and sends it to the medical device 16, and identifies whether or not there is a qualification to access the medical device 16 based on the personal identification information.

  For identifying the qualification to access, for example, the authorized person list stored in advance in the medical device 16 is compared with the personal identification information read by the reader 17, and it is determined whether or not the personal identification information is included in the authorized person list. This is done by judging. If it is included in the permitter list, it is determined that it is eligible for access, and access to the medical device 16 is permitted. On the other hand, if it is not included in the permitter list, it is determined that there is no qualification to access, and access to the medical device 16 is restricted.

  When this personal identification non-contact IC tag 1 is attached to the back portion 13 of the shoe 12, it is inclined forward and downward, so that the antenna axis of the reader 17 with respect to the direction of the antenna axis of the non-contact IC tag 1 Small deviation in direction. Therefore, even when the medical worker 19 approaches the medical device 16 and the distance between the antenna 4 of the non-contact IC tag 1 and the antenna 18 of the reader 17 is long, it is recorded on the non-contact IC tag 1. The personal identification information of the medical staff 19 can be stably read by the reader 17.

  Further, since the non-contact IC tag 1 is large enough that the inlet 2 accommodated in the sealed case 3 covers the upper part 13 of the shoe 15 with the personal identification function, the non-contact IC tag 1 has an area larger than the upper part 13 of the shoe 15 with the personal identification function. The area of the antenna 4 of the non-contact IC tag 1 is larger than when the non-contact IC tag 1 is attached to a part such as a small heel. Therefore, the sensitivity of the antenna 4 is high, and the reading distance between the non-contact IC tag 1 and the reader 17 is long.

  Moreover, since the non-contact IC tag 1 can be attached to and detached from the shoe 15 with the personal identification function, when the shoe 15 with the personal identification function is damaged, only the shoe 12 can be replaced without replacing the non-contact IC tag 1. it can. Similarly, when the non-contact IC tag 1 is broken, only the non-contact IC tag 1 can be replaced without replacing the shoes 12, which is economical.

  The top sheet 7 and the back sheet 8 constituting the sealed case 3 are not limited to soft plastic, and other flexible materials such as rubber may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the sealed case 3 may adopt a shape in which rectangular corners are rounded as a shape covering the instep portion 13 of the shoe 12. However, as shown in FIG. Each of the two corners may be rounded and one of the two short sides may be shorter than the other, or may be elliptical as shown in FIG. 8 (b), as shown in FIG. 8 (c). In addition, a shape in which the corners of an isosceles triangle are rounded may be used.

  The shoe 15 with the personal identification function may be configured such that the contactless IC tag 1 can be attached to and detached from the instep portion 13 of the shoe 12 by other connecting members such as buttons and hooks instead of the hook and loop fasteners 11 and 14.
