Description

  The present invention relates to an IC tag and a book using the IC tag, and particularly to an IC tag for a book that can be provided at a low cost, and a book and a book information setting system using the book.

  In recent years, IC tags that perform non-contact communication with external processing apparatuses have become widely known. This IC tag is classified into an active type in which a battery is incorporated to transmit information and a passive type in which electric power is received with a radio wave received without incorporating a battery.

Of these, passive IC tags are devices in which the reader / writer sends power using radio waves, and the IC is activated by that power. The radio waves also contain instructions and requests. It is supposed to receive.
The IC tag sends an answer to the instruction on a radio wave called a carrier wave. The reach of radio waves is as short as several meters at the maximum, but it is small and lightweight, and can be manufactured at a much lower cost than the active type. Therefore, it is expected that passive IC tags will be mounted on many products in the future.

The passive IC tag may have any shape as long as it has an IC chip and an antenna. For example, there are a disk type, a cylindrical type, a card type, a box type, etc., all of which are about several centimeters in the long direction. In addition, since research and development has progressed and it has become apparent that the price is also low, it has been proposed that IC tags can be attached to various products to enable information management during logistics processes and storage.
For example, by attaching an IC tag to a book such as a book or magazine, not only a shoplifting prevention function is provided, but also information that is managed in a distribution process has been proposed (Patent Document 1). .

  Books such as books and magazines described in Patent Document 1 have a structure in which an IC tag is provided inside the back cover of the back, and have the advantage that the IC tag is hidden and cannot be seen. However, during handling and distribution, there are many cases where an external force is applied to the back side of the book, and when an external force is applied to the back portion in this way, there is a risk that the IC tag inside will also be pressurized and damaged. There is a problem that the reliability of the IC tag is impaired.

As one solution to this problem, Patent Document 2 proposes a method in which an IC tag inlet is pasted on the back of the text in an interleaf picture book and a cover is placed thereon.
According to this method, the IC tag inlet is not only invisible from the outside, but the cover sheet is not adhered to the back of the body, and a slight gap is generated between the IC tag inlet and the back. Therefore, even if the child handles it roughly, it is not damaged and the reliability of the IC tag is high.
In addition, since an inexpensive IC tag inlet by mass production is simply attached to the back of the text, it is advantageous in terms of cost.

  In FIG. 8, the schematic of an example of the structure of the conventional book with an IC tag arrange | positioned on the same structural member was shown. 8 (1) shows the case where the IC tag is mounted between the spine of the book and the binding portion. FIG. 8 (2) shows the arrangement of the radiating element and the matching loop circuit on the surface of the book cover. A book body (right side) and a cover (left side).

FIG. 8 (1) shows an example of a structure in which an IC tag is provided on the inside of the cover on the back of a book. This book (135) has an IC tag (136) adhered to the back portion (208) of the binding portion (202) of the main body (104), and the back cover (203) and the back cover and the back connected to them. The cover is composed of a cover (201).
However, in the above method, when the IC tag is mounted between the spine of the book and the binding portion, the relative permittivity changes depending on the IC tag base material, so that the communication distance is deteriorated as compared with the IC tag alone.

  In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the antenna size. FIG. 8 (2) shows an example of a book in which an IC chip (5) and a matching loop circuit (49 and a radiating element (antenna) (6) are mounted on the spine of the book body (2). In this structure, the portion of the IC tag attached by covering the back cover of the book with the cover (3) cannot be seen from the outside, however, when the antenna portion is formed by etching, the etching area increases. The manufacturing cost of the IC tag becomes high.

  Furthermore, even if a large-sized antenna is formed on a substrate by printing, it is difficult to attach it to the back cover of the book body in a normal bookbinding process, and it is still impossible to print directly on the back surface of the book body back cover. Have difficulty.

  Therefore, the subject of this invention is providing the book with an IC tag of the structure which reduced the cost of tag itself, without degrading the communication performance of an IC tag.

  As a result of intensive studies on the above problems, the present inventors have assumed that the radiating element and the matching loop circuit with IC are separated from each other on the assumption that the radiating element is attached to a book, and the radiating element is configured by printing. The present invention has been found out that it is possible to provide an IC tag for books at a low cost. Here, although the case where it applies to a book is demonstrated, the technique of this invention can be applied besides a book.

  The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention for solving the above-described problem is a book comprising a book body and a cover, and includes a matching loop circuit and an IC chip on one or the inside of the spine of the book. The book with an IC tag is characterized in that, as the another component member, the back portion of the cover is used, and the radiation element is arranged on either the front or the back of the cover.

  In this way, by forming both the matching loop circuit and the IC chip on components different from the radiating element (antenna), the matching loop circuit, the IC chip, and the radiating element can be easily formed on each member. I can do it.

  Furthermore, an IC tag that has a long communication distance and can be widely used in fields such as merchandise distribution management can be configured by overlapping and electrically coupling the matching loop circuit and the IC chip close to the radiation element.

Since the cover is usually printed with titles and designs, it is possible to form a radiating element (printing antenna) on the cover surface by printing conductive ink without changing the process, and a matching loop Even when the circuit and the IC chip are mounted on the back portion of the book, it is easy to simply wrap it around with a cover and place it close to it.

  An invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is the book with an IC tag according to claim 1, wherein the radiating element of the IC tag is formed by printing of conductive ink.

  In the invention according to claim 3 of the present invention, the matching loop circuit is symmetric with respect to a substantially central portion in the height direction of the back portion of the book as an axis of symmetry, and the radiating element is disposed outside the center. The book with an IC tag according to claim 1 or 2, wherein

  The invention according to claim 4 of the present invention is characterized in that the width of the matching loop circuit is a width that covers the line width of the radiating element arranged corresponding thereto. It is a book with an IC tag as described in the item.

  The invention according to claim 5 of the present invention is characterized in that the radiating element is arranged on the front cover, the back cover, or the cover from the front cover to the back cover so as to be orthogonal to the height direction of the book. It is a book with an IC tag according to any one of 1 to 4.

  The invention according to claim 6 of the present invention is the creation of a book with an IC tag according to any one of claims 1 to 5, when creating a spine with a matching loop circuit and an IC chip arranged therein, A book information setting system in which necessary data including book JAN code data is written to an IC.

  In the invention according to claim 7 of the present invention, the radiation element is arranged on the cover, the loop circuit for matching and the IC chip are arranged on the back cover, and the book JAN code and information to be added are arranged on the back cover. The process of writing to the matching loop circuit and the IC chip, the process of attaching the cover on which the radiation element is arranged on the book body, the book JAN code printed on the cover is read, and the matching loop circuit and the IC chip information are also read. 7. The book information setting system according to claim 6, further comprising: a step of matching the check result, and a step of associating the check result with the IC unique number and leaving the write data in the log.

  According to the book with an IC tag according to the present invention, the formation of the IC tag component by the design printing of the cover using normal ink and the pattern printing of the radiating element using the conductive ink is performed in a series of printing processes. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced because the material cost and the assembly man-hour can be reduced as compared with the manufacturing method in which the radiating element sheet is manufactured on another sheet by etching or printing and attached to the cover.

  The book with an IC tag according to the present invention has a structure in which a matching loop circuit is arranged on the “book spine” and a radiation element is arranged on the “cover spine” when it is assumed to be displayed on the shelf or stored. Thus, there is an effect that the IC tag can be easily read without changing the conventional display method in actual operation, that is, the method of arranging on the bookshelf with the spine cover side containing the book name in front.

  According to the book with an IC tag according to the present invention, the matching loop circuit is symmetric with respect to a substantially central portion in the height direction of the back portion of the book as an axis of symmetry, and the radiating element is disposed outside the center. Accordingly, even if the cover is changed up and down, the position of the matching loop circuit with respect to the book and the relative position with respect to the radiating element are not changed, and communication is possible in the same manner.

Even if the cover is provided with a radiating element by printing conductive ink, when the cover is set on the book due to printing misalignment of the radiating element, if the distance between the radiating element and the matching loop circuit is increased, the impedance decreases and the communication distance is It may happen that the communication time becomes shorter or the communication quality deteriorates.

  In the book with an IC tag according to the present invention, the width of the matching loop circuit is formed so as to be larger than the line width of the radiating element arranged corresponding thereto, so that there is a slight printing deviation of the radiating element. However, the radiating element on the cover side does not deviate from the position where it overlaps the matching loop circuit. For this reason, it is possible to prevent an obstacle that the impedance is lowered and the communication distance is shortened or the communication quality is deteriorated.

According to the IC-tagged book according to the present invention, the radiating element is arranged on the front cover, the back cover, or the cover from the front cover to the back cover so as to be orthogonal to the height direction of the book, thereby being parallel to the height direction. As a result, the plane of polarization changes and the reading direction can be changed.
Further, by arranging two or more radiating elements having different element lengths in the vicinity of the matching loop circuit, it becomes possible to cope with communication in a plurality of frequency bands.

  According to the book information setting system according to the present invention, it is possible to write data to the IC in the state of the cover before being attached to the book body, so compared to writing in the state where the cover is attached to the book body, Data can be written to an IC placed on the spine without taking time and effort to transport and handle books.

On the cover, ISBN, a classification code, a fixed price code, etc. defined as a book JAN code are printed as common information regarding the same book.
By adding an IC tag, in addition to the common information printed on the cover, information that the publisher wants to add (unique number assigned to each book, sales condition identification information, etc.), or undecided when printing the cover Therefore, it is possible to add information that cannot be printed because it exists or information that is difficult to separate (shipping destination, application, book body plate, printing, etc.) to the cover sheet on which the IC chip is arranged.

  Further, by reading the shipping destination information in the IC chip with a reader / writer, it is possible to automatically sort the books stored in the same distribution center.

  The ability to record accurate information on plates and prints in the IC chip enables accurate information such as the first edition and reprints, or identification by unique number, even for the same book. It will be possible to connect to the store's unique service.

  When writing the book JAN code and the information you want to add (sales conditions, unique number, etc.) to the IC chip via the matching loop circuit, communication is possible without interposing a radiating element (antenna). Is possible.

  When a matching loop circuit and IC chip are attached to the front cover in the cover manufacturing process, it can be manufactured from a continuous winding state to a winding state, and can be performed independently of the book body. Easy to manufacture. Further, if necessary, data can be continuously written in a state of being unwound from a roll, so that conveyance is easy.

  Even when the above-described winding is cut and the cover is cut into sheets, the data is written to the IC chip with the cover before being attached to the book body. Unlike the state of the book, the cover of can be transported with the edges overlapped. As a result, the space for the data writing process can be reduced and the transport distance can be shortened, so that the processing speed as the process can be increased.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as necessary. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the basic structure of a book with an IC tag according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an installation location of elements of the book with an IC tag according to the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of an example of a matching loop circuit used in the IC tag of the present invention.

  The book (1) with an IC tag of the present invention comprises a book body (2) shown on the right side of FIG. 1 and a cover (3) used around the book.

  A matching loop circuit (4) having an IC chip (5) is mounted on the back cover (7) of the book body (2). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the matching loop circuit (4) is formed by a substantially rectangular conductor pattern bonded to an IC chip (5) on a flexible base material (not shown) such as a plastic film. ing.

  The matching loop circuit (4) is created by etching, and the outer dimension length (W) and outer dimension width (H) are determined so as to match the imaginary component of the IC chip. For example, W20 mm × H6 mm, line width 1 mm The pattern can be formed on the insulating base film by etching with a thickness of 10 μm. The matching loop circuit (4) can also be formed by printing conductive ink in the same manner as the radiating element (6).

As shown on the right side of FIG. 2, the matching loop circuit (4) is attached between the back cover (202) and the back cover of the back cover (7) part of the cover that encloses the body (204). ing.
A portion of the cover (3) corresponding to the back of the book is formed by printing conductive ink at a position overlapping the matching loop circuit (4) when the book body (2) is wrapped, for example, a dipole antenna A radiating element (6) is provided.

  The element length of the radiating element (6) provided on the cover (3) used in the book with an IC tag of the present invention is preferably about λ / 2 with respect to the communication frequency. When the frequency is 953 MHz, the element length is about 150 mm, which is about λ / 2. The radiating element (6) can be formed by a known printing method such as gravure printing using a normal conductive ink.

The conductive ink used for printing of the radiating element (6) is preferably a silver ink having a particle size of metal particles before firing of 60 nm or less, desirably 20 nm or less. The thickness of the fired radiating element (6) is suitably 2 μm or less.

  In the printing of the radiating element (6), it is preferable to use an acrylic urethane-based resin-containing anchor agent for the cover (3) which is a substrate to be printed. By using the anchor agent, the paper surface of the cover (3) becomes smooth and does not squeeze into the paper itself. Therefore, the resistance value between two points on the radiating element is, for example, higher than that when the treatment with the anchor agent is not performed. From 83Ω to 8.3Ω, which is about 1/10, which contributes to improved communication performance.

  The radiating element (6) can be provided on either the front or back side of the portion corresponding to the back of the book of the cover (3). It is the simplest method of creation to be provided by printing conductive ink on the front side of the same cover as normal picture printing, but from the viewpoint of design problems that impair the appearance of the book and durability during handling, The radiating element (6) is preferably provided on the back side of the back portion of the cover (3).

FIG. 4 is an example showing the installation position of the matching loop circuit and the radiation element of the IC-tagged book of the present invention.
As shown on the right side of FIG. 4 (1), the matching loop circuit (4) is attached to a substantially central portion in the height (2w) direction of the back cover (7) portion of the book body (2). It is symmetrical up and down with the center position as the axis of symmetry. Accordingly, even when the vertical direction of the cover (3) as shown on the left side of FIG. 4 (1) is changed to the opposite direction as shown on the left side of FIG. 4 (2), the matching loop circuit (4) And the electrical coupling state of the radiating element (6) can be kept unchanged. Therefore, even if the cover (3) is attached upside down to the book body (2), communication is possible.

  When the matching loop circuit (4) having the shape as shown in FIG. 3 is used, the overlapping position of the radiating element (6) is slightly deviated from the center of the matching loop circuit (4). Is more appropriate. On the left side of FIGS. 4A and 4B, a case where the radiating element 6 that runs in the vertical direction is provided outside the center of the back portion of the cover is shown.

  FIG. 5 shows another example of the matching loop circuit of the book with an IC tag according to the present invention and the installation position of the radiation element. In the description so far, the case where the number of the radiating elements (6) provided in the cover (3) is one has been taken up, but the number of the radiating elements (6) may be plural, and different communication frequency bands are used. In some cases, it is convenient because it can be easily handled by changing the printing pattern. Here, the case where the number of the radiating elements (6) is two is shown.

  FIG. 6 is an example showing the relationship between the matching loop circuit of the book with an IC tag of the present invention and the installation position of the radiation element. The left side shows the case where the number of the radiating elements (6) is one, and the right side shows the case where the number of the radiating elements (6) is two.

In the figure on the left side of FIG. 6, the line width w of the portion running in the vertical direction of the matching loop circuit (4) is in a state of covering the line width of the radiating element (6) arranged corresponding thereto. The radiating element (6) secures an overlap with the matching loop circuit (4) with a sufficient margin in the left-right direction. The figure on the right side of FIG. 6 shows the case where two radiating elements (6) are parallel, and both have sufficient margin in the left-right direction to ensure an overlap with the matching loop circuit (4). Yes.
As a result, even when there is a slight misalignment in printing of the radiating element (6), the electrical coupling between the matching loop circuit (4) and the radiating element (6) is kept stable.

In the examples so far, the case where the radiating element (6) is arranged on the cover of the spine portion so as to be parallel to the height direction of the book is shown, but the radiating element (6) is arranged in the height direction of the book. It can also be placed on the front cover or back cover, or the cover from the front cover to the back cover so as to be orthogonal to the front cover.

  FIG. 7 shows another example of the matching loop circuit for the IC-tagged book of the present invention and the installation position of the radiation element. FIG. 7 (2) shows a book body (2) having a matching loop circuit (4) in the spine portion.

  7 (1) shows a state in which the radiating element (6) is arranged on the cover from the front cover to the back cover so as to be orthogonal to the height direction of the book on the back cover portion of the cover (3). 3) shows a state in which the radiating element (6) is arranged on the cover that covers the front cover, and FIG. 7 (4) shows a state in which the radiating element (6) is arranged on the cover that also covers the back cover. .

  Thus, the plane of polarization changes when the radiating element (6) is arranged parallel to the height direction of the book, and as a result, the reading direction can be changed. Further, it is possible to select an optimum reading position by arranging the radiating element not only on the back cover portion of the book but also on the front cover and the back cover.

  In creating a book with an IC tag as described above, when creating a cover on which a matching loop circuit and an IC chip are arranged, data of the book JAN code (ISBN, classification code, bar code indicating a price code) is provided to the IC. An example of an embodiment of a book information setting system for writing necessary data including the following will be described.

In the book information setting system of the present invention, at least a radiation element is arranged on the cover, a matching loop circuit and an IC chip are arranged on the back cover, and a book JAN code and information to be added are arranged on the back cover. The process of writing to the matching loop circuit and the IC chip, the process of attaching the cover on which the radiation element is arranged on the book body, the book JAN code printed on the cover is read, and the matching loop circuit and the IC chip information are also read. A process of matching
8. The book information setting system according to claim 7, further comprising: a step of associating a collation result with an IC unique number and leaving write data in a log.
FIG. 9 shows an operation flowchart example of the book information setting system of the present invention.

  Manufacture can be efficiently carried out by arranging the radiating element on the cover and arranging the matching loop circuit and the IC chip on the book main body on different members. In addition, it is possible to write information to the IC chip close to the reader / writer without interposing the radiating element, so that it is efficient in the state of the cover alone before the state of the book. After writing and becoming a book, make full use of the utility of the book information setting system of the present invention that enables book management using communication from a long distance by the effect of the radiating element arranged on the cover. I can do it.

The process of reading the book JAN code printed on the cover after it has been in a book state using the cover prepared in this way can be performed using a normal optically readable bar code reader.
FIG. 10 shows a reference diagram on a cover sheet of the book information setting system of the present invention.

  On the cover (15) comprising the back cover (8), the front cover (9) and the back cover (10) of the book body (2), the IC chip (5) and the matching circuit (4) yet to be written at this stage. ) Is attached to the back cover (8).

At this stage, the cover (15) is continuously unwound from the winding,

  These processes up to the process of associating the verification result with the IC unique number and leaving the write data in the log are the reader / writer as a continuous work from the take-up roll to the take-up roll in the cover making process before individual cutting. This can be done while bringing the antenna (13) close to the surface of the moving cover.

In addition, since these processes are executed only in the cover creation process separately from the book body creation, the cover is transported in the case of individual cutting. It can be done efficiently.
In FIG. 12, the reference figure of the conveyance process in the case of performing said process after the cover cutting of the book information setting system of this invention was shown.

  The reader / writer antenna (13) reads and writes data to and from the IC chip (5) while carrying a plurality of cover sheets (15) before being mounted on the individually cut book body with the ends overlapped and conveyed in the direction of the arrow. Can be done. As a result, the space for the data writing process can be reduced and the transport distance can be shortened, so that the processing speed as the process can be increased.
