In the embodiment of the present invention, for convenience of explanation, the RF tag 93 includes the information processing means 94, the RF tag side storage means 95, and the RF tag side transmission / reception means 96. The means 94, the RF tag side storage means 95, and the RF tag side transmission / reception means 96 are not physically located in the RF tag 93, but these three means are all provided in the RF tag 93 made of one IC chip. It is formed on a circuit.

  The information processing apparatus 1 constitutes an information processing system that operates in cooperation with the host computer 101, and information read from the QR code 92 of the actual product slip 91 by the information processing apparatus 1 is stored in the host computer. The information processing apparatus 1 writes information (specific individual information) transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1 by the host computer 101 to the RF tag 93 based on the transmitted information. ing. The host computer 101 has a configuration similar to that of a commercially available personal computer, and as shown in FIG. 5, a host computer side central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as a host computer side CPU) 102, A host computer side storage means 103 and a host computer side transmission / reception means 104; and an input means 105 such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a display means 106 such as a display are connected to the host computer 101; Further, it is also connected to a printer 107 or the like that prints character information or a QR code on a product slip or the like as necessary.

  Since the host computer 101 has the same configuration as a commercially available personal computer as described above, an operation system necessary for the operation of the host computer 101 is input to the host computer side storage means 104. In addition, a database regarding identification code information transmitted from the information processing apparatus 1 and individual information corresponding to the identification code information is input. In other words, this database can output individual information for the input identification code information. Specifically, the name, specification, quantity, production date and time, delivery date, etc. of the product corresponding to the input identification code information. Individual information such as information on the production location, producer, destination, etc. can be output.

  Hereinafter, a series of information reading and writing procedures for the information processing system using the information processing apparatus 1, the actual product slip 91, and the host computer 101 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, the user wears the information processing apparatus 1 on the index finger F1 and middle finger F2 of his / her right hand H with the wearing belt 12 as described above (see FIG. 4), and presses the switch 26 shown in FIG. The information processing apparatus 1 is turned on. When the power is turned on in this way, the LEDs 32 and 37 are lit (see FIG. 1), and the information processing apparatus 1 is in a state of waiting for a user operation. Next, the user sets the information processing apparatus 1 attached to the lens 23 disposed on the upper surface 21 of the housing 11 shown in FIG. 42 is pressed (step St1). In this embodiment, it is described that the user wears the information processing apparatus 1 in the right hand H and presses the left trigger 42 with the thumb F3 of the right hand H. Since the same operation is performed when the trigger 42 is pressed and when the right trigger 44 is pressed, the user wears the information processing apparatus 1 in the left hand and holds the right trigger 44 with the thumb of the left hand. In the case of pressing, it can be used similarly. In the information processing apparatus 1, when the left trigger 42 or the right trigger 44 is pressed in step St1, the light emitting unit 24 emits light and is on the surface facing the light emitting unit 24 (in this embodiment, the actual product). A figure such as a straight line or a rectangle is projected on the surface of the vote 91 by a laser beam. The figure projected by the laser light emitted from the light emitting unit 24 indicates a range in which the code information reading means 82 can read the QR code 92 through the lens 23. The QR code 92 can be easily read using the information processing apparatus 1 as a guide. The code information reading means 82 does not read the QR code 92 by using the reflected light reflected from the actual product slip 91 by the light emitted from the light emitting unit 24.

  In the next step St2, whether or not the left trigger 42 has been pressed in step St1 is determined by the information processing apparatus side CPU 81, and it is determined by the information processing apparatus side CPU 81 that the left trigger 42 has not been pressed Returning to step St1, if it is determined that the left trigger 42 has been pressed, the process proceeds to the next step St3, where the code information reading means 82 reads (scans) the QR code 92. In the next step St4, whether or not the code information reading means 82 in step St3 has read is determined by the information processing apparatus side CPU 81. If it is determined that the QR code 92 has not been read, the process returns to step St3. If it is determined that the QR code 92 has been read, in the next step St5, the information (identification code information) of the read QR code 92 is temporarily stored in the information processing device-side storage means 85, and almost the same step. At St6, the identification code information is displayed on the display unit 25, and at substantially the same time Step St7, the buzzer 86 is sounded to inform the user that the information of the QR code 92 has been read. When the information processing apparatus side CPU 81 sounds the buzzer 86 in this step St7 and the following steps, the vibrator 87 is also activated simultaneously to vibrate the information processing apparatus 1, thereby informing the user. It is good as a thing. The sound generation of the buzzer 86 and the operation of the vibrator 87 can be set by the user as necessary, and both can be executed simultaneously or only one can be executed.

  Next, in step St8, the information processing apparatus side CPU 81 transmits the identification code information to the host computer side transmission / reception means 104 of the host computer 101 by the information processing apparatus side transmission / reception means 88. Information transmission / reception between the information processing apparatus side transmission / reception means 88 and the host computer side transmission / reception means 104 is performed based on the Bluetooth technology which is a standard of wireless communication. Information can be transmitted and received even when are located apart from each other. The information processing apparatus 1 and the host computer 101 are paired in advance using a pass key (authentication key), and the information processing apparatus 1 communicates with other devices via Bluetooth. When it is possible, the LEDs 33 and 38 of the information processing apparatus 1 are lit. Devices connected in accordance with the Bluetooth standard constantly monitor whether or not information has been transmitted and received between them (in other words, the information processing apparatus 1 and the host computer 101 are connected wirelessly). Then, in the next step St9, when the host computer side CPU 102 determines whether or not the host computer side transmission / reception means 104 has received the identification code information, it is determined that this identification code information has not been received. Returns to step St8, and if it is determined that this identification code information has been received, this identification code information is displayed on the display means 106, and the host computer side CPU 102 This identification code information is collated with a database of specific individual information stored in advance in the host computer side storage means 103.

  In the next step St12, the host computer side CPU 102 determines whether or not there is specific individual information corresponding to the identification code information, and determines that there is no specific individual information corresponding to the identification code information. If it is determined, an error is displayed on the display unit 25 of the information processing apparatus 1 at step St14 (the fact that there is no identification code information corresponding to the read QR code, the reading of the QR code has failed), and step St1. If it is determined that there is specific individual information corresponding to the above identification code information, the process proceeds to the next step St13, and this identification code information is stored in the host computer side storage means 103. The specific individual information stored in the host computer side storage means 103 corresponds to each of the identification code information of the QR code 92 read by the user using the information processing apparatus 1. , Information on a product or the like to which the QR code 92 is attached (information such as name, specification, quantity, production date, delivery date, production location or destination).

  Next, in step St15, specific individual information corresponding to the identification code information stored in the host computer side storage means 103 in step St13 is extracted from the host computer side storage means 103, and this specific individual information is extracted from the host computer side. The data is transmitted from the transmission / reception means 104 to the information processing apparatus side CPU 81 via the information processing apparatus side transmission / reception means 88. When it is determined in the next step St16 whether or not the specific individual information has been received by the information processing apparatus side CPU 81, and it is determined that the specific individual information has not been received by the information processing apparatus side CPU 81 In step St15, if it is determined that the specific individual information is received by the information processing apparatus side CPU 81, the process proceeds to the next step St17, and the specific individual information is stored in the information processing apparatus side storage means. 85, the specific individual information is displayed on the display unit 25 at approximately the same time step St18, and the buzzer 86 is sounded at approximately the same time step St19 to give the user a specific individual information. Informing that the information has been received proceeds to the next step St20. In step St18, specific individual information such as the product with the QR code 92 attached, in particular, the name of the product, etc. is displayed on the display unit 25, so that the user can use the information processing apparatus 1 by himself / herself. Thus, specific individual information such as a commodity read can be visually confirmed.

  Next, in step St20, it is verified whether the specific individual information temporarily stored in step St17 corresponds to the identification code information (reading information of the QR code 92) stored previously correctly. The Then, in the next step St21, it is determined whether or not the specific individual information and the identification code information correspond correctly, and the information processing apparatus side CPU 81 determines the specific individual information and the identification code information. Is determined not to correspond correctly, the process returns to step St9. If it is determined that the specific individual information corresponds to the identification code information, the process proceeds to the next step St22. Then, the specific individual information is transmitted to the RF tag 93 of the actual product slip 91 by the electronic information writing means 84.

  In the next step St23, whether or not the specific individual information is received by the information processing means 94 of the RF tag 93 is determined by the information processing means 94, and if it is determined that the specific individual information is not received Returns to step St22, and if it is determined that the specific individual information has been received, the process proceeds to the next step St24 to store (write) the specific individual information in the RF tag side storage means 95, and Proceeding to step St25 at substantially the same time, the information processing means 94 transmits the fact that the specific individual information has been received via the RF tag side transmitting / receiving means 96, and this information is read by the electronic information reading device 1 of the information processing apparatus 1. When the means 83 receives the information, the information processing device side CPU 81 sounds the buzzer 86 to confirm that the user has received specific individual information. Racemase, work procedure is completed according to the reading and writing of a series of information.

  Thus, according to the information processing system using the information processing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, the information of the QR code 92 and the information of the RF tag 93 are matched very easily and quickly in cooperation with the host computer 101. It is possible to make it very workable. That is, according to the information processing apparatus 1, since reading of information of the QR code 92 and writing of information to the RF tag 93 can be continuously performed as a series of operations, information of the QR code 92 is obtained. And the information of the RF tag 93 can be matched more easily and quickly. In particular, since the lens 23 and the antenna 30 are arranged on the same surface or in the vicinity thereof, information on the direction suitable for reading the QR code 92 by the lens 23 and information on the RF tag 93 by the antenna 30 is provided.
