  As described above, based on the second identification information, not only the item information related to the items that can be read is extracted from the personal information of others who are the targets of reading the personal information, but also the first identification information. Based on the item information related to the item of the personal information that can be read, the occupation of the person who reads the personal information of the other person is identified, and the identified occupation is extracted as the key information. , Determined as the authority to read personal information. Thus, it is possible to give the reader 2 appropriate authority so that the third party can read only necessary information without the personal information being read by the third party without any effort. In addition, the person who reads the personal information of another person obtains information on whether or not he / she is working in the specified occupation, and if it is determined that he / she is not working, the reader 2 is controlled so that no authority is given. Also good. By doing in this way, it also becomes possible to avoid the risk that personal information can be read by a third party without any effort.

  As in the first embodiment, information regarding the authority to read personal information is stored in the authority information storage unit 432 of the storage device 43. Returning to FIG. 10, the reading authority information transmitting unit 413 transmits information regarding the authority to read the determined personal information to the reader 2.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing for acquiring the authority for the reader 2 to read the personal information in the information reading system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 12, when the arithmetic unit 21 of the reader 2 brings the reader 2 close to the wireless communication medium 1 that is embedded and installed in the body of a person who reads the personal information of another person (such as a lifesaving person), the wireless communication medium 1st identification information is acquired from 1 (step S1201).

  When the arithmetic unit 21 makes the reader 2 approach the wireless communication medium 1 that is embedded and installed in the body of another person (patient or the like) that is the object of reading the personal information, the second identification information is obtained from the wireless communication medium 1. Is acquired (step S1202). The arithmetic unit 21 transmits the first identification information and the second identification information acquired from the wireless communication medium 1 to the server 4 (step S1203).

  The CPU 41 of the server 4 receives the first identification information and the second identification information acquired by the reader 2 (step S1204). Based on the received first identification information and second identification information, the CPU 41 determines item information relating to the item of personal information that can be read as information relating to the authority to read the personal information (step S1205). The CPU 41 transmits information related to the authority to read the determined personal information to the reader 2 (step S1206).

  The arithmetic unit 21 of the reader 2 receives from the server 4 information related to the authority to read the personal information determined by the server 4 (step S1207), and stores information related to the authority to read the received personal information in the memory unit 22 ( Step S1208).

  FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing a procedure for reading personal information of the information reading system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIG. 13 illustrates an example in which the information reading system according to the second embodiment is applied to a case where a person who is a lifesaving person reads the personal information of a patient who is another person.

  As shown in FIG. 13, first, a lifesaving person who has embedded the wireless communication medium 1 in the body brings the reader 2 close to his / her own wireless communication medium 1 and reads the first identification information. Next, the lifesaving technician brings the reader 2 close to the wireless communication medium 1 that is embedded in the body of the patient who is another person, and reads the second identification information. The reader 2 that has read the first identification information and the second identification information requests the server 4 to grant the authority to read the personal information.

  The server 4 requested to grant the authority to read the personal information is based on the first identification information and the second identification information, and the item information regarding the item of the personal information that can be read is related to the authority to read the personal information. Information is determined and transmitted to the reader 2. For example, the items may be items that can read the date of birth, blood type, medical history, medication information, and the like. The reader 2 acquires the personal information of the item specified by the information relating to the authority to read the personal information received from the server 4 from the server 4 and displays and outputs it on the display unit 23 of the reader 2.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the right to read personal information is not granted to a third party without instinct, but an appropriate permission range based on the first identification information and the second identification information. Since it is possible to determine the authority to read the personal information, it is possible to give the reader 2 appropriate authority so that only the necessary personal information can be read by the third party. For example, even if a victim such as a traffic accident is unconscious, a doctor, a life-saving paramedic, or the like can surely read personal information necessary for life-saving medical care such as a medical history or a medical history.

  Since the information regarding the authority to read the received personal information is stored in the memory unit 22 of the reader 2, the personal information can be read continuously as long as the information regarding the authority to read the personal information does not change. For example, when a store clerk acquires personal information of a visitor using a reader 2 installed at a cash register of a store, the first visitor has an authority to read the personal information in the same manner as in the second embodiment. Information needs to be acquired from the server 4. However, for the second and subsequent persons, it is only necessary to continuously read the personal information of the store customers as long as the information on the authority to read the personal information itself does not fluctuate.

  The information reading system according to the second embodiment can also be applied at the time of settlement.
