JP5419207B2 - RFID label for luggage - Google Patents

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification; wireless automatic identification) label for baggage and a method for attaching the RFID label, and particularly to an RFID label for baggage used for baggage management by attaching it to a handle or other part of baggage etc. It relates to the pasting method.

    Conventionally, a baggage label that is attached to a baggage handle in a loop shape has been used for a baggage management system for a passenger at an airport or the like. The baggage label is pre-displayed with a machine-readable code such as a bar code for baggage discrimination, and is read by a bar code reader during boarding procedures.

On the other hand, since an RFID inlet capable of wireless data communication has a larger storage capacity than a bar code, it is required to use it as a baggage label instead of a bar code.
However, the RFID inlet is more expensive than a general label material, and it is collected and reused after use. However, depending on the attachment part of the RFID inlet, it is troublesome to collect the RFID inlet. There's a problem.
Furthermore, it is necessary to secure a predetermined area for an information display area for displaying various information that can be visually recognized by humans, so that the RFID label for luggage is wrapped around the handle in a loop. In addition, in the case of a wide label, there is a problem that it is difficult to attach because the handle has various sizes and shapes. Further, when the width of the label wound in a loop shape is narrowed, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure a sufficient area of the information display area.

    Of course, there are similar problems when attaching RFID labels to general baggage other than baggage at the airport.
