Therefore, there is an advantage that it can be used not only for use in various systems requiring identification but also for entry / exit control to a specific place.

Accordingly, not only can anyone easily and instantly judge the time of replacement or adjustment of parts such as products or industrial machines, but also the validity of the time of replacement or adjustment can be determined at any time. It has the advantage of being able to prove to three parties and to determine the current owner of not only parts but also products and industrial machines and to clarify where responsibility lies.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the history data written in the storage unit 2a of the history management medium 1 matches the access code via the data reader / writer 3, the history data is brought into contact with the data input / output unit 2 of the history management medium. Since the data can be written or read via the connectable data reading probe 4, if the access codes do not match, the history data cannot be written or read, so that the copy of the history management medium can be reliably performed. However, for example, at least one of the production code and the application code may be set in the storage unit 2a.

Therefore, in this case, if the access code and the manufacturing code, the access code and the usage code, or the access code, the manufacturing code and the usage code do not match, reading of the history data in the storage unit 2a is completely impossible. It becomes possible.

Therefore, not only the manufacturer but also the use application, the user, and the owner can be specified and the highly reliable and extremely safe history management medium 1 can be spread. Can be reliably distinguished from the history management medium 1 produced by another manufacturer that is not affiliated with a specific manufacturer even if the same is not the same. There is an advantage that alteration or forgery of the history data can be reliably prevented.

Therefore, for example, the history management medium 1 is used not only for automobiles, bicycles, electric appliances, but also for leased articles such as various OA equipments, various products such as cellular phones, predetermined places such as industrial machines, and bolts, adhesives, rivets. The history management medium 1 is firmly attached to an attachment medium such as a metal plate or a resin label in advance, and then the attachment medium is attached to various products or products in the same manner as described above.

It can be applied not only to fatigue management, but also to quality control due to deterioration and deterioration of various dangerous substances (gas cylinders etc.) stored in a predetermined storage body, etc. It goes without saying that it may be used by being attached to a gas pipe or a water pipe.

Therefore, no matter which field is used as described above, it is impossible to change the owner or user, or to rewrite or change various history data at all. Users can be clearly identified, which can reduce the illegal dumping of various products that become industrial waste, and can increase the awareness of employers and owners that they should stop using them. There are advantages.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the history management medium 1 is attached to various products and parts requiring maintenance has been described. For example, the case where the history management medium 1 is used in hospitals, vehicles, amusement parks, etc. It may be applied to various payment systems for the purpose of purchasing various goods, etc.
Even in this case, not only can the owner and user be identified reliably, but also it is possible to reliably prevent unauthorized change of the settlement amount, and thus a completely new account settlement system that is extremely safe. Has an advantage that the history management medium 1 can be attached to a card or the like and used as an ID card. Even in this case, extremely high security and reliability can be achieved in various fields. It has a special advantage that a security system can be constructed.

The point is that the history management medium is provided with a data input / output unit to which a data reading probe of the data reading device can be contacted or connected, and that when the access code matches via the data reading device, predetermined history data is read. Has a storage unit that can be written using the power supplied from the data reading probe, the specific shape of the history management medium,
Not only the size and structure but also the specific contact structure and connection structure of the data input / output unit with the data reading probe are not limited at all, and furthermore, the type and structure of the device constituting the storage unit and the history management medium It goes without saying that the field of use is not limited at all.

[0046]
