For example, when a specific place where the tag generator 120 is installed is adjacent to a peripheral device or a facility that causes radio interference or signal attenuation, wireless data transmission may not be performed smoothly.

In such an environment, when the control unit 122 transmits the RFID tag information only once to the terminal 130, there is a possibility that the corresponding RFID tag information is not received at all by the terminal 130. In addition, as a countermeasure according to the signal attenuation, it may be necessary to increase the transmission power of the RFID tag information. Accordingly, in the present invention, all of these points can be considered, so that the RFID tag information can be smoothly received even in a faulty environment by setting the number of transmission, the transmission period, and the transmission intensity of the RFID tag information.

On the other hand, the operation unit 125 can set the active or inactive state for the RFID tag information. In this case, when the RFID tag information is in an inactive state, the controller 122 receives the corresponding RFID tag information of the inactive state corresponding to the specific content information even if the terminal 130 receives an information request signal about the specific content information. It does not transmit to 130.

For example, even when the expiration date of the specific content information has expired or the information providing period at the content server 140 has expired, the information output device 110 may display the expired specific content information as it is. Can be.

At this time, after the modification to switch the RFID tag information about the specific content information to the inactive state through the operation unit 125 to correspond to the expiration condition, the RFID tag information about the specific content information is no longer transmitted. Can be. Of course, the control unit 122 may also be configured to transmit and provide a message to the terminal 130 on the reason why the RFID tag information is not transmitted.

Of course, if the expiration is released and the reuse of the corresponding content information is possible, the operation unit 125 may switch the inactive state back to the active state.

On the other hand, the display unit 126 corresponds to a display screen for displaying the input or setting status by the operation unit 125 in real time.

In addition, the statistics unit 127 provides statistics on the history of the RFID tag information transmitted to the terminal 130 and the frequency of the transmission.

By analyzing the usage of each content information, these statistics can be used to grasp the user's preference, marketability, etc. about the product or specific item, and use such data to provide the manufacturer of the product to be used as basic data for product production. In addition, it is also possible to use enough to adjust the service life of the content information output to the information output device 110.
