As described above, wireless tags have been rapidly used in various fields in recent years. However, as described in the above-mentioned Non-Patent Document 1, since there are many kinds of communication protocols, the current situation is that multiple wireless tags are used for each type of wireless tag according to the application. a communication protocol. Therefore, when communicating with a certain wireless tag, there are cases where the communication protocol suitable for the wireless tag circuit element is different from the communication protocol for communication on the slave side. In this case, it cannot be set quickly and easily. The state of the communication. In addition, the tag attribute parameters such as the frequency, the antenna sensitivity of the wireless tag circuit element, the memory capacity of the IC circuit part, the width of the tape for adhering the element, and the element arrangement interval on the tape, which are the same communication parameters as the above-mentioned communication protocol, are also the same as above.

For example, a broadband antenna such as a biconical antenna or a multi-band antenna corresponding to a plurality of frequencies can be used as the antenna 14 .

FIG. 10 shows an example in which the antenna 14 is composed of a multi-band antenna corresponding to two frequencies of 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz, and has a first element 14A, a second element 14B, a trap 14C, and a power supply point. 14D.

The first element 14A has a length corresponding to 2.4 GHz, and the trap 14C has the same frequency as 2.4 GHz. Also, the sum of the lengths of the first element 14A and the second element 14B is a length corresponding to 915 MHz.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a procedure for reading wireless tag information from the IC circuit portion 151 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 as an example of the tag information access in the above step S2 shown in FIG. 15 .

In FIG. 17 , the flow starts when the reading operation of the wireless tag information communication device 2 is performed as described above.

First, in step S100, after the printed label label tape 100 is printed, the wireless tag circuit element _T0 to be read is transported to the vicinity of the antenna 14, and the target tag is set.

Thereafter, in step S110 , a variable N for counting the number of retries performed when communication failure is suspected is initialized to 0.

In addition, in step S120, the "ScrollAllID" command is output to the signal processing circuit 52. The "ScrollAllID" command uses the communication protocol and Access frequency etc., for example, communication protocol and access frequency read from identifiers 190A-D of cassette 100, and read information stored in wireless tag circuit element T0 through output corresponding to antenna sensitivity and memory capacity. Based on this, the signal processing circuit 22 generates a "ScrollAllID" signal as access information, and sends it to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of the access target via the high-frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply.

Next, in step S130, corresponding to the above-mentioned "ScrollAllID" signal, the response signal (wireless tag information such as article information) transmitted from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of the access target is received via the antenna 14, and the response signal (wireless tag information such as item information) is received via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal. The processing circuit 22 takes in.

Next, in step S140, it is judged whether there is an error in the response signal received in the above-mentioned step S130 by using a known CRC code (Cyclic Redundancy Check, Cyclic Redundancy Check).

When the determination is not satisfied, proceed to step S150, add 1 to N, and further determine whether N is equal to 5 in step S160. When N≤4, the judgment is not satisfied, return to step S120, and repeat the same steps. When N=5, proceed to step S170, output the error display signal to the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, perform corresponding reading failure (error) display, and end the process. In this way, up to five retries are performed when reading fails.

When the determination of step S140 is satisfied, the reading of the wireless tag information from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ as the reading target is completed, and the flow ends.

Through the above process, among the wireless tag circuit components T ₀ in the box 100, only the wireless tag circuit component T _{0 located in the access area (the manufactured wireless tag circuit component T 0 )} , according to the corresponding optimal communication parameters and tag attribute parameters to access and read the wireless tag information of the IC circuit unit 151 .

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a procedure for writing wireless tag information to the IC circuit portion 151 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 as another example of the wireless tag information access in the above-mentioned step S2 shown in FIG. 15 .

In this FIG. 18, as described above, this flow starts after the writing operation of the wireless tag information communication device 2 is performed.

First, in step S200, the identification number ID is set by a known appropriate method, and the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to which information is to be written is transmitted to the vicinity of the antenna 14 .

After that, in step S210, the variables N and M for counting the number of retries performed when communication failure is suspected are initialized to 0, respectively.

And, in step S220, as above, the "Erase" command is output to the signal processing circuit 22, and the "Erase" command is consistent with the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters obtained in the previous step S1, and the wireless The information stored in the storage unit 157 of the tag circuit element T ₀ is initialized. Accordingly, the signal processing circuit 22 generates an "Erase" signal as access information, and transmits it to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be written via the high-frequency circuit 21 to initialize its storage unit 157 .

Next, in step S230, as described above, the "Verify" command is output to the signal processing circuit 22. The "Verify" command is used to confirm the content of the storage unit 157 to match the communication parameters and tags acquired in the previous step S1. The attribute parameters are consistent. Accordingly, the signal processing circuit 22 generates a "Verify" signal as access information, and sends it to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to which the information is written via the high frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply. Then in step S240, the response signal transmitted from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be written is received via the antenna 14 based on the above-mentioned “Verify” signal, and is taken in via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal processing circuit 22 .

Next, in step S250, based on the response signal, the information in the storage unit 157 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 is confirmed, and it is judged whether the storage unit 157 is normally initialized.

When the determination is not satisfied, proceed to step S260, add 1 to M, and further determine whether M is equal to 5 in step S270. When M≤4, the judgment is not satisfied, return to step S220, and repeat the same steps. When M=5, proceed to step S280, output the error display signal to the above-mentioned terminal 5 or the common computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, perform corresponding writing failure (error) display, and end the process. In this way, up to five retries are performed when initialization fails.

When the judgment of step S250 is satisfied, proceed to step S290, and output the "Program" command to the signal processing circuit 22 as above, and the "Program" command is based on the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters obtained in the previous step S1. In a consistent manner, the required data is written into the storage unit 157 . Accordingly, the signal processing circuit 22 generates a "Program" signal as access information including the ID information to be originally written, and sends it to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of the information writing target via the high frequency circuit 21, where The above-mentioned predetermined information is written in the storage unit 157 .

Next, in step S300, as described above, a "Verify" command is output to the signal processing circuit 22 so as to match the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters acquired in the previous step S1. Accordingly, the signal processing circuit 22 generates a "Verify" signal as access information, and transmits it to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to which information is to be written via the high frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply. Then, in step S310, the response signal transmitted from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be written is received via the antenna 14 based on the "Verify" signal, and taken in via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal processing circuit 22 .

Next, in step S320, the information stored in the storage unit 157 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 is checked based on the response signal, and it is judged whether the above-mentioned transmission schedule information is stored in the storage unit 157 normally.

When the determination is not satisfied, proceed to step S330, add 1 to N, and further determine whether N is equal to 5 in step S340. When N≤4, the judgment is not satisfied, return to step S290, and repeat the same steps. When N=5, proceed to step S280, and perform the corresponding writing failure (error) display on the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 as above, and end the process. In this way, up to five retries can be performed even when information writing is not successful.

When the judgment of step S320 is satisfied, proceed to step S350, and output the "Lock" command to the signal processing circuit 22 in a manner consistent with the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters acquired in the previous step S1. Accordingly, a "Lock" signal is generated by the signal processing circuit 22 and sent to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to which information is to be written via the high frequency circuit 21 , thereby prohibiting writing of new information into the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ . In this way, writing of the wireless tag information to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be written is completed, and the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ is discharged as described above. After the step S350 ends, this process ends.

Through the above process, among the wireless tag circuit components T ₀ in the box 100, only the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ (the manufactured wireless tag circuit component T ₀ ) located in the predetermined access area can be selected according to the corresponding optimal Communication parameters and tag attribute parameters are used to write necessary wireless tag information into the IC circuit unit 151 .

In addition, in the above operation flow, it was exemplified that the printed label tape 110 moved in the transport guide 13 is held in the access area and accessed (read or written) in accordance with the printing operation, but the present invention is not limited thereto. . That is, the above-mentioned access can be performed with the printed label tape 110 stopped at a predetermined position and held in the transport guide 13 . And, when the above-mentioned reading or writing is performed, the correspondence relationship between the generated print information of the wireless tag T and the ID of the IC circuit part 151 of the wireless tag T is stored in the above-mentioned routing server 4, and Can be referenced as needed.

In the above operation, the signal processing circuit 22 constitutes an access information generation unit, and generates access information ("ScrollAllID" signal, "Erase" signal, "Verify" signal, "Program ” signal, and the following “Ping” signal, etc.). In addition, the transmitting part 32 of the high-frequency circuit 21 constitutes an information transmitting unit, and non-contactly transmits the access information generated by the access information generating unit to the tag side antenna via the device side antenna, and performs access to the wireless tag information of the IC circuit part. .

In addition, the control circuit 30 constitutes a transmission control unit, and controls the transmission method from the information transmission unit so as to be consistent with the tag attribute parameters or communication parameters of the wireless tag circuit element.

In the wireless tag information communication device 2 of the present embodiment configured as above, the access information generated in the signal processing circuit 22 is transmitted to the antenna 152 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 through the antenna 14, and access to the IC circuit part 151 is performed ( read or write). At this time, the communication/tag attribute parameter information of the identifiers 190A-D is formed in the detected portion 190 of the box 100 (in other words, the communication/tag attribute parameter information is stored in the detected portion 190). And the information is detected by the sensor 19, and the control circuit 30 of the wireless tag information communication device 2 controls the transmission method accordingly, so as to be consistent with the tag attribute parameters or communication parameters of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the box 100.

In this way, in one wireless tag information communication device 2, even when a plurality of cassettes 100 having different tag attribute parameters and communication parameters of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 are appropriately attached, detached, and replaced by the cassette holder part , information communication can be quickly and easily performed using the optimal parameters corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of each cassette 100 . That is, regardless of the type of the cassette 100 (in other words, the type of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be communicated), it can be quickly and easily set to a communicable state. As a result, a smooth access operation to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the case 100 can be ensured.

In addition, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, as the device-side storage unit, the flow of FIG. 16 is used, and as described above, the communication/tag attribute parameter information obtained from the detection signal of the sensor 20 is stored in the RAM or the like in the control circuit 30. In, but not limited to, it may also be stored in a nonvolatile storage unit (such as a so-called EEPROM) composed of a nonvolatile memory provided separately (inside or outside the control circuit 30).

In this case, the stored content can be saved even if the power is turned off, so as described above, the communication/tag attribute parameter information temporarily stored can also be read when the power is turned on.

FIG. 19 is a control flow corresponding to the "tag type judgment" step in step S1 of FIG. 15 performed by the control circuit 30 corresponding to this modified example, and is a diagram corresponding to the above-mentioned FIG. 16 .

In FIG. 19, as described above, the flow starts when the power is turned from off to on. First, in step S16, the stored communication parameters are read from the above-mentioned non-volatile storage unit. Then proceed to step S17, also read the stored tag attribute parameters from the above-mentioned non-volatile storage unit, and end this process.

Afterwards, the same as above, use these read communication parameters/tag attribute parameters to read or write wireless tag information according to the flow shown in FIG. 17 or FIG. 18 .

In addition, in the above case, the parameter writing to the device-side storage unit may be performed in accordance with, for example, the opening and closing of the cover provided on the housing 9 due to the replacement of the cartridge 100 . In this case, when it is detected that the cover is opened and closed by the above-mentioned cover opening and closing detection sensor 19 shown in FIG. write.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 27 . This embodiment is an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a wireless tag production system as in the above-mentioned first embodiment. Like the above-mentioned first embodiment, a sensor for detecting parameter information is not used, but a wireless tag circuit The wireless communication of element T ₀ obtains the embodiment of the above-mentioned parameter information. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same parts as those in the above-mentioned first embodiment, and description thereof will be appropriately omitted.

In this embodiment, as described above, it is obviously different from the above-mentioned first embodiment in that in the "tag type judgment step" of step S1 shown in FIG. 15, the communication is obtained through non-contact wireless communication. /label attribute parameter.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the detailed steps of the above-mentioned step S1 (tag type judgment step) executed by the control circuit 30 , which is an important part of the present embodiment.

In this embodiment, the above-mentioned communication parameters (access frequency of radio waves used in wireless communication, communication protocol, etc.) and tag attribute parameters (sensitivity of antenna 152 of wireless tag circuit element _T0 , memory capacity of In the width of the tape 101 on which the component _T0 is pasted, the arrangement interval of the component _T0 on the tape 101, etc.), if the access frequency and the communication protocol constituting the communication parameters are different, communication will not be performed at all. control in a consistent manner.

And in this embodiment, a plurality of types of communication protocols and patterns of access frequencies are prepared in advance (in this example, five protocol numbers P1 to P5 and five frequency patterns F1 to F5), and the box 100 is searched within this range ( In other words, what kind of wireless tag circuit element T ₀ ) is, and detect/judge correct communication parameters.

First, in step S21, the communication protocol number P=1 and the access frequency number F=1 are set as initial values.

Next, first in step S22, the value of the "TX_PWR" signal is set to a relatively large predetermined value. (Refer to Figure 4) to determine the magnification. This is because, including the inside of the box 100 (even when there is a response from a plurality or a large number of wireless tag circuit elements T ₀ ), any response signal should be obtained as reliably as possible, so that the communication parameters can be detected (in other words, there is no need to determine the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ to obtain response signals from an indeterminate plurality or a large number of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ ).

And in step S23, a "Ping" command urging the wireless tag circuit element _T0 located within the communication range to reply is output to the signal processing circuit 22. The "TX_ASK" signal based on this is generated in the signal processing circuit 22, and is output to the transmission multiplication circuit 38, and the above-mentioned corresponding amplitude modulation is performed in the transmission multiplication circuit 38 to become a "Ping" signal as access information. This "Ping" signal is further amplified by the above-mentioned transmission amplifier 39 at an amplification rate based on the above-mentioned "TX_PWR" signal input from the control circuit 30 ("TX_PWR" is a large value as described above), and separated by transmission and reception. Transmitter 34 and antenna 14, and if there is a wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that can understand the command within the accessible range, it is prompted to reply.

Next, in step S24, if there is a wireless tag circuit component T ₀ within the accessible range, a response signal ₍ wireless tag information such as article information), and is taken in via the receiving unit 33 and the signal processing circuit 22.

Next, in step S25, it is judged whether or not at least one correct ID has been obtained through the above-mentioned CRC code of the response signal received in above-mentioned step S24.

When the communication protocol (protocol number P = 1) and access frequency (frequency number F = 1) at this time are inconsistent with the communication protocol and frequency of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the box 100, a response signal cannot be obtained, so the requirement is not met. If judged, proceed to step S26.

In step S26, the frequency number F and the protocol number P are appropriately changed, and the process returns to step S23 again via step S27 to repeat the same steps. For example, the frequency number keeps F=1, and the protocol number P increases by one successively. When P=5, increasing the protocol number and retrying also fails to obtain a good response signal, return to the protocol number P=1, and this Add 1 to the frequency number F to become 2, and repeat P=1→2→...→5 in the state of F=2.

As mentioned above, in any of the 25 combinations of P=1~5, F=1~5, when the communication protocol and access frequency of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the box 100 are consistent, a good The response signal therefore satisfies the determination of step S25 at this point in time, and proceeds to step S32.

And, if no good response signal can be obtained after trying all F and P (in the above example, 25 types of F, P=1 to 5), the judgment of step S27 is satisfied and the process proceeds to step S31. In step S31, it is considered that there is no wireless tag circuit element T ₀ in the box 100, or it is considered that the wireless tag information communication device 2 of this embodiment is within the range of the communication protocol and access frequency set by the above 25 types. Outside the scope of application, the error display signal is output to the above-mentioned terminal 5 or the common computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, and the corresponding reading failure (error) display is performed, and the above-mentioned step S2 is advanced (or at this moment, it is also possible to stop access to the wireless tag information, and end the control process).

In step S32, as in steps S12 and S13 of previous FIG. After obtaining the communication parameters (frequency and communication protocol of radio waves used in wireless communication) corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that has replied the response signal (in other words, corresponding to the box 100), the communication parameters are set in step S33. Stored in RAM (or stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, and further stored in the routing server 4 or the information server 7).

Then, the acquisition of the communication parameters is completed as described above. Since the above-mentioned actions are no longer needed, in step S34, the value of the above-mentioned "TX_PWR" signal is returned (reset) to a relatively small value (required for communicating with the target tag). minimum) predetermined value.

Then proceed to step S35, determine the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that returned the response signal, and output the same "ScrollID" command as above to the signal processing circuit 22. Based on this, the signal processing circuit 22 generates a "ScrollID" signal as access information, and transmits it to the corresponding wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of the access target via the high frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply.

Next, in step S36, the response signal (wireless tag information such as article information) sent from the wireless tag circuit element _T0 corresponding to the above-mentioned "ScrollID" signal is received via the antenna 14, and is retrieved via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal processing circuit 22. enter.

Then in step S37, the same as step S14 and step S15 of FIG. 16 before, corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that returned the response signal, obtain the information stored in the storage unit 157 in a predetermined format (in other words, it is the same as the box). 100 corresponding) the above-mentioned tag attribute parameters (the sensitivity of the antenna 152 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 , the memory capacity of the IC circuit part 151, the width of the tape 101 pasting the element _T0 , the arrangement interval of the element _T0 on the tape 101, etc. ), in step S38, store this tag attribute parameter information in the above-mentioned same RAM (or store in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, and further store in the routing server 4 or the information server 7) , and end this process.

In this way, after the "tag type judgment step" in step S1 shown in FIG. 15 is completed, the process proceeds to step S2 in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above.

In this FIG. 21 , the difference from the flow shown in FIG. 17 of the previous first embodiment is that a new step S90 is set before step S100. As described above, when the wireless tag information communication device 2 reads , step S90 is executed first.

That is, in step S90, the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters previously stored in RAM or the like in steps S33 and S38 shown in FIG. 20 are read from the RAM or the like. Subsequent steps use the read-in parameters and are basically the same as those in FIG. 20 before, so the description thereof is omitted.

That is, in step S190, the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters previously stored in RAM or the like in steps S33 and S38 shown in FIG. 20 are read from the RAM or the like. Subsequent steps use the read-in parameters, which are basically the same as those shown in FIG. 17, so their description is omitted.

Above, the receiving unit 33 constitutes the information receiving unit described in each technical solution, and after the access information is transmitted by the information transmitting unit, the response signal transmitted by the IC circuit part according to the transmitted access information is non-contacted via the tag side antenna. Received by the antenna on the device side and read in.

Moreover, the communication parameters and tag attribute parameter information obtained in steps S32 and S37 of FIG. 20 are equivalent to the second parameters related to the tag attribute parameters of the corresponding wireless tag circuit components according to the response signal read by the information receiving unit. information, these steps correspond to the second information detection unit.

In the present embodiment constituted as described above, the same effects as those of the first embodiment described above can be obtained. That is, after the access information generated by the signal processing circuit 22 and transmitted through the antenna 14 is sent, the response signal returned from the IC circuit part 151 is received by the receiving part 33, and the communication parameter information and tag attribute parameter information are obtained according to the response signal. , the control circuit 30 controls the transmission mode accordingly, so as to be consistent with the tag attribute parameters or communication parameters from the transmission unit 32 . In this way, like the above-mentioned first embodiment, even if a plurality of cassettes 100 having different tag attribute parameters and communication parameters related to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 are appropriately attached, detached and replaced on the cassette holder part Even in this case, information communication can be quickly and easily performed using the optimal parameters corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of each cassette 100 . That is, regardless of the type of the cassette 100 (in other words, the type of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be communicated), it can be quickly and easily set to a communicable state. As a result, a smooth access operation to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the case 100 can be ensured.

In addition, in the second embodiment of the present invention described above, various modifications can be made without departing from the gist and technical idea of the present invention. This modified example will be described below.

(1) Re-query when access fails

That is, when the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters are obtained as described above and communication with all wireless tag circuit elements _T0 of the box 100 is started, when the access fails, the initially obtained parameter information may be wrong, so Inquiry for confirmation is made again to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ side.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a tag information reading procedure performed by the control circuit 30 constituting an important part of this modification, and corresponds to FIG. 21 in the above-mentioned second embodiment.

In the flow shown in FIG. 23 , step S170A is provided instead of step S170 in FIG. 17 . That is, in step S160, when the variable N=5 for counting the number of retries when communication failure is suspected (five communication tests have been performed but failed), the process proceeds to step S170A to perform re-judgment processing.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the detailed procedure of this re-judgment processing.

The control steps in FIG. 24 are relatively similar to the label type judgment processing steps in FIG. 20 above. That is, first, in step S21A newly provided instead of step S21, the communication protocol number P and the access frequency number F already stored in the device-side storage means such as RAM are read.

Thereafter, steps S22 to S32 are the same as in FIG. 20 . That is, the value of the "TX_PWR" signal is set to a relatively large predetermined value, and the "Ping" command is output to the signal processing circuit 22, urging the reply of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ located within the accessible range, and receiving The response signal to determine whether at least one correct ID has been obtained. When a good response signal cannot be obtained, the frequency number F and the protocol number P are appropriately changed in step S26, and the process returns to step S23 again to repeat the same steps. When a good response signal cannot be obtained even after trying all F and P (in the above example, 25 kinds of F, P=1 to 5), an error display signal is output to display a reading failure (error). When any one of the combinations of P and F is consistent with the communication protocol and access frequency of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the box 100, the judgment of step S25 is satisfied, and as in Figure 20, in step S32, according to the received response The signal (response signal) acquires communication parameters corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that has returned the response signal.

Afterwards, in step S33A newly provided instead of step S33, the communication parameter information obtained is stored in RAM (or stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or regular computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, and further stored in the routing server 4 or in the information server 7), carry out overwriting and updating processing (it has nothing to do with the stored content so far, even if it is the same value, it will be updated).

Afterwards, steps S34 to S37 are the same as in Fig. 20, the value of the "TX_PWR" signal is restored to the required minimum predetermined value, the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that has returned the above-mentioned response signal is determined, and the "ScrollAllID" command is output to The signal processing circuit 22 urges the reply of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the access object, takes in the response signal sent from the corresponding wireless tag circuit element _T0 , and obtains and returns the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the response signal The corresponding tag attribute parameter.

Afterwards, in step S38A newly provided instead of step S38, the attribute parameter information obtained is stored in RAM (or stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or regular computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, and further stored in the routing server 4 or in the information server 7), overwrite and update processing (regardless of the stored content so far, even the same value will be updated), and end the flow, and transfer to step S180 of the above-mentioned FIG. 23 .

In the above content, step S140, step S150, and step S160 of the flow shown in FIG. 23 are equivalent to the judging unit described in each technical solution. Whether the access of the IC circuit part is successful; step S170A is equivalent to the reconfirmation command sending unit, when the judgment unit judges that the access fails, the reconfirmation command used to reconfirm the tag attribute parameters or communication parameters of the wireless tag circuit element The signal is sent to the tag-side antenna through the device-side antenna in a non-contact manner.

And, in step S24 and step S25, the communication parameter information and the tag attribute parameter information from the radio tag circuit element T ₀ that are received and identified are equivalent to the fifth parameter information, and the receiving unit 33 constitutes an information re-receiving unit, and will be reconfirmed based on The fifth parameter information related to the tag attribute parameter or the communication parameter read by the IC circuit part of the command signal is received by the device-side antenna through the tag-side antenna in a non-contact manner, and is read.

Furthermore, step S33A and step S38A of the flow shown in FIG. 24 correspond to an update control unit for updating the parameter information in the storage unit on the device side to the fifth parameter.

In addition, the flow of the step of reading the wireless tag information from the IC circuit part 151 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 as an example of the tag information access of the above-mentioned step S2 performed by the control circuit 30 has been exemplified above. Writing of wireless tag information in another example of tag information access can of course be performed in the same procedure.

In this modified example configured as above, after accessing the IC circuit portion 151 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the transmission method based on the control of the control circuit 30, it is determined in steps S140 to S160 in FIG. Whether the access was successful. When it is judged that the access has failed, a reconfirmation command signal is sent in step S170A, and the communication parameter/tag attribute parameter information read from the IC circuit part 151 is received and read by the receiving part accordingly. And the control circuit 30 updates the stored information to the above-mentioned read parameter information regardless of the stored content in the device-side storage unit such as RAM so far in step S33A and step S38A of FIG. 24 . In this way, even if the initially read tag attribute parameters and communication parameter information are incorrect for some reason (wrongly read), they can be corrected to correct information when updating.

In particular, as described above at this time, in step S23 of FIG. 24, when generating and transmitting the ScrollAllID signal as the reconfirmation command signal, in step S21A, first, based on the data stored in the device side storage unit such as RAM so far, Communication parameters (protocol P and frequency F) to generate signals. Then, in step S26A, starting from this past experience value, a signal is further generated based on a different communication parameter. By referring to past experience values so far, at least compared with when the above-mentioned communication parameters are randomly generated and the ScrollAllID signal is generated, the probability of finally obtaining the correct communication parameters is increased, or the time to obtain them can be advanced.

(2) Automatic query when the power is turned on

In the above-mentioned second embodiment, as explained in steps S32 and S37 of the flowchart in FIG. , but not limited thereto, and may also be stored in a nonvolatile memory unit (so-called EEPROM, etc.) provided separately (inside or outside the control circuit 30).

In this case, since the stored content can be saved even if the power is turned off, the temporarily stored communication/tag attribute parameter information can also be read when the power is turned on as described above.

FIG. 25 is a control flow corresponding to the "tag type judgment" step in step S1 of FIG. 15 performed by the control circuit 30 corresponding to this modified example, and is a diagram corresponding to the above-mentioned FIG. 20 .

In FIG. 25, as described above, the flow starts when the power is turned from off to on. The control steps of this flow are relatively similar to the steps of the label re-judgment process in FIG. 24 described in (1) above. That is, first, in step S21B newly provided instead of step S21A, as described above, the communication protocol number P and the access frequency number F already stored in nonvolatile storage means such as EEPROM are read.

Afterwards, steps S22 to S38A are the same as in FIG. 24 , the value of the "TX_PWR" signal is set to a relatively large predetermined value, and the "Ping" command is output to the signal processing circuit 22 to urge the wireless tags located within the accessible range The reply of the circuit element T ₀ takes in the received response signal and judges whether at least one correct ID has been obtained. When a good response signal cannot be obtained, the frequency number F and the protocol number P are appropriately changed, and when a good response signal cannot be obtained even after trying all the F and P, a reading failure (error) display is performed. When any one of the combinations of P and F is consistent with the communication protocol and access frequency of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the box 100, the wireless tag circuit that has returned the response signal is obtained and returned according to the received response signal (response signal) The communication parameters corresponding to the element _T0 are stored in EEPROM or RAM (or stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or regular computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3, and further stored in the routing server 4 or the information server 7), and overwrite Update processing (regardless of the stored content so far, even if it is the same value, it will be updated). After that, restore the value of the "TX_PWR" signal to a relatively small predetermined value, determine the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that has returned the above-mentioned response signal, output the "ScrollAllID" signal and urge the reply, take in the transmitted response signal, and obtain the sum For the tag attribute parameter corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that has returned the response signal, the same coverage update process as above is performed.

Afterwards, when step S38A ends, the flow ends, and the process moves to the above-mentioned step S2 to access (read or write) the wireless tag information.

In the above content, the "Ping" signal sent in step S23 of the flow shown in Figure 25 is equivalent to the initial confirmation command signal described in each technical solution, and is used to initially confirm the label of the wireless label circuit component when the power is turned on. Attribute parameters or communication parameters; the transmitting unit 32 that transmits the signal constitutes an initial confirmation command transmission unit that non-contactly transmits an initial confirmation command signal to the tag-side antenna via the device-side antenna.

And, in steps S24 and S25, the communication parameter information and the tag attribute parameter information from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that are received and identified are equivalent to the sixth parameter information; The sixth parameter information related to the tag attribute parameters or communication parameters read by the IC circuit unit is received by the device side antenna through the tag side antenna in a non-contact manner, and read in.

Furthermore, step S33A and step S38A of the flow shown in FIG. 25 correspond to an update control unit for updating the parameter information in the device-side storage unit to the sixth parameter.

In this modified example, every time the power is turned on, the transmission unit 32 transmits a Ping signal as an initial confirmation command signal, and the communication parameter/tag attribute parameter information read from the IC circuit unit 151 of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ according to this It is received and read by the receiving unit 33 . And the control circuit 30 updates the stored information to the above-mentioned read parameter information regardless of the storage content in the device-side storage unit such as EEPROM or RAM in step S33A and step S38A of FIG. 25 . In this way, whenever the power is turned on, regardless of the storage content of the above-mentioned device-side storage unit so far, the parameter information in the device-side storage unit can be reliably normalized (correct when reading in error, and store normally). to reconfirm).

And, as described above, in step S23 of FIG. 25, when generating and sending the Ping signal as the initial confirmation command signal, in step S21B, first, based on the data stored in the non-volatile device side storage unit such as EEPROM so far. communication parameters (protocol P and frequency F) to generate signals. Then, in step S26A, starting from this past experience value, a signal is further generated based on a different communication parameter. By referring to past experience values so far, at least compared with when the communication parameters are randomized to generate a Ping signal, the probability of eventually obtaining correct communication parameters is increased, or the timing of obtaining them can be advanced.

In addition, the type of the label may be determined based on, for example, opening and closing of the lid provided on the housing 9 due to the replacement of the cassette 100 . In this case, when the lid opening/closing detection sensor 19 shown in FIG. 2 detects that the lid is opened and closed, the flow of FIG. 25 described above may be started.

(3) Sharing/combination of sensor-based detection and non-sensor-based detection

That is, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the communication parameters (the frequency of radio waves used in wireless communication, the communication protocol, etc.), that is, the tag attribute parameters (the sensitivity of the antenna 152 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 , the memory of the IC circuit part 151, etc.) capacity, the width of the tape 101 pasting the component _T0 , the arrangement interval of the component _T0 on the tape 101, etc.) are detected by the sensor 20 from the detected part identifiers 190A to D of the cassette 100, and in the above-mentioned second In the embodiment, both the communication parameter and the tag attribute parameter are detected and acquired by non-contact wireless communication to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 .

Therefore, as an intermediate method, it may be considered to detect a part of the communication parameters and tag attribute parameters by a sensor, and detect the rest by wireless communication. Two examples are described below.

(3-1) Use sensors to detect communication parameters, and use wireless communication to detect tag attribute parameters

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing a control procedure (corresponding to step S1 in FIG. 15 ) of label type judgment executed by the control circuit 30 as an important part of this modification.

As shown in FIG. 26, this control procedure corresponds to a combination of the control flow of FIG. 16 of the first embodiment and the control flow of FIG. 20 of the second embodiment (the same steps are denoted by the same step numbers).

That is, first in S11, the detected portion 190 of the cassette 100 detected by the sensor 20 for parameter detection described in the first embodiment is input (recognized) (in this case, only the Communication parameter information), and then in step S12, according to the detection signal detected in the above step S11, predetermined processing (including calculation, analysis, extraction, etc. as required) is performed, so that the identifiers 190A~D In the parameter information, after the above-mentioned communication parameters (frequency of radio waves used in wireless communication, communication protocol, etc.) are obtained in step S12, the communication parameter information is stored in RAM in step S13 (or via the communication circuit 31 and communication The line 3 is stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or the common computer 6, and then stored in the routing server 4 or the information server 7).

Afterwards, proceed to step S35, as in the second embodiment, determine the predetermined wireless tag circuit element T ₀ , and output the "ScrollID" command to the signal processing circuit 22 in a manner consistent with the communication parameters obtained in the previous step S12 . Accordingly, a "ScrollID" signal as access information is generated in the signal processing circuit 22 and transmitted to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ of the access target via the high-frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply. And in step S36, the response signal transmitted from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ corresponding to the “ScrollID” signal is received via the antenna 14 and taken in via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal processing circuit 22 .

And, in step S37, acquire and return the tag attribute parameter ₍ the sensitivity of the antenna 152 of the wireless tag circuit component _T0 , the memory capacity of the IC circuit part 151, the sticking component T ₀ , the width of the band 101 of 0, the arrangement interval of the components T+ ₀ on the band 101, etc.), in step S38, store the tag attribute parameter information in the same RAM as above-mentioned S12 (or store it in the same RAM via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3 The above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 is further stored in the routing server 4 or the information server 7), and this process ends.

In this way, when the "tag type judgment step" corresponding to step S1 shown in FIG. 15 is completed, the process proceeds to step S2.

In the above content, the sensor 20 constitutes the third information detection unit described in each technical solution, and detects the third parameter information formed on the box according to the communication parameters of the corresponding wireless tag circuit components; the sending part 32 constitutes a confirmation command sending unit , according to the third parameter information detected by the third information detection unit, a confirmation command signal for confirming the tag property parameters of the wireless tag circuit element is sent to the tag side antenna via the device side antenna contactlessly.

And, the receiving part 33 constitutes a confirmation information receiving unit, which will receive the fourth parameter information related to the tag attribute parameter read by the IC circuit part according to the confirmation command signal, non-contactly received by the device side antenna via the tag side antenna, and to read in.

In this modified example, the communication parameters of the identifiers 190A-D formed in the box 100 are detected by the sensor 20, and the ScrollAllID signal as the confirmation command signal is sent from the transmitting part 32 to the antenna 152 accordingly, and the corresponding tag attribute parameter information It is read from the IC circuit unit 151 and received by the receiving unit 33 . As a result, the control circuit 30 controls the transmission method so as to match the tag attribute parameter or communication parameter from the transmitter 33 based on the tag attribute parameter information and the communication parameter previously detected by the sensor 20 .

In this way, in this modified example, similar to the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, even in a plurality of cassettes 100 having different tag attribute parameters and communication parameters related to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ Even in the case of detachable replacement of the case holder part, information communication can be performed quickly and easily by using the optimal parameters corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of each case 100. That is, regardless of the type of the cassette 100 (in other words, the type of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be communicated), it can be quickly and easily set to a communicable state. As a result, a smooth access operation to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the case 100 can be ensured.

(3-2) Share detection of communication parameters by sensors and wireless communication

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing a control procedure (corresponding to step S1 in FIG. 15 ) of label type judgment performed by the control circuit 30 , which is an important part of this modification.

As shown in FIG. 27, in this control step, in steps S12 and S13 shown in FIG. 26 of the modified example of the above (3-1), a part of the communication parameters (in this example, protocol information) is detected/acquired, The rest (in this example, the access frequency) are detected/acquired according to the control steps shown in FIG. 20 in the previous second embodiment (the same steps are assigned the same step numbers).

That is, first in S11, the detected portion 190 of the cassette 100 detected by the sensor 20 for parameter detection described in the first embodiment is input (recognized) (in this case, only the communication parameter information), and then in step S12' based on step S12, perform predetermined processing (including calculation, analysis, extraction, etc. if necessary) based on the detection signal detected in step S11 above, so that the obtained After the communication protocol shown in the identifier 190A～D, in step S13' based on step S13, the communication protocol information is stored in the RAM (or stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 via the communication circuit 31 and the communication line 3 , and then stored in routing server 4 or information server 7).

Next, proceed to step S21' based on step S21, and set the frequency number F=1 as an initial value.

Subsequent steps S22 to S25 are the same as in FIG. 20 of the above-mentioned second embodiment. The value of the "TX_PWR" signal is set to a relatively large predetermined value, and then the "ScrollAllID" signal is sent to receive and acquire the wireless data within the accessible range. The response signal of the tag circuit element T ₀ determines whether at least one correct ID has been obtained.

When the access frequency (frequency number F=1) at this moment is inconsistent with the communication protocol and the frequency of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the box 100, the response signal cannot be obtained, so the judgment of step S25 is not met, and in step S29 to Add 1 to the frequency number F, go through step S30 and return to step S23. And, when a good response signal cannot be obtained in steps S24 and S25, the number is increased by F=1→2→...→5, and steps S23 to S30 are repeated. If a good response signal cannot be obtained by increasing the frequency number until F=5, the determination in step S30 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S31 to display the above-mentioned reading failure (error).

In any one of F=1 to 5, when it matches the access frequency of the wireless tag circuit element T0 of the cassette 100, a good response signal is obtained, the judgment of step S25 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S32' based on step S32.

In step S32', according to the response signal (response signal) received in step S24 above, predetermined processing (including calculation, analysis, extraction, etc.) After the frequency information of the radio wave used in the wireless communication corresponding to the element _T0 (in other words, corresponding to the box 100), in step S33' based on step S33, the frequency information is stored in the RAM (or via the communication circuit 31 and The communication line 3 is stored in the above-mentioned terminal 5 or the common computer 6, and further stored in the routing server 4 or the information server 7).

Subsequent steps S34 to S38 are the same as those in FIG. 20 , and thus description thereof will be omitted.

In this way, step S38 is completed, and when the "label type judgment step" in step S1 shown in FIG. 15 is completed, the process proceeds to step S2 in the same manner as above.

In this modified example, as in the above-mentioned first and second embodiments and each modified example, since the tag attributes and communication parameters of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ included in the box can be finally obtained, even if the parameters are different from each other, Even when a plurality of cassettes 100 are appropriately detached and replaced by the cassette holder, information communication can be performed quickly and easily by using the optimal parameters corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of each cassette 100. That is, regardless of the type of the cassette 100 (in other words, the type of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be communicated), it can be quickly and easily set to a communicable state. As a result, a smooth access operation to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the case 100 can be ensured.

In addition, the substrate tape 101 in which a plurality of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ are sequentially formed in the longitudinal direction is wound around the first roll 102 and used as a container for the wireless tag circuit components, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, instead of the roller 102, a tray member (so-called stack type) (refer to the following figure) that stacks and stores a plurality of label materials in the shape of a sheet of paper each forming one wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the horizontal stacking direction may be used. 34). This case also has the same effect.

As described above, the appearance of the wireless tag tag T in this embodiment is formed by completing information reading (writing in the following modified examples, which will be discussed later) and cutting, which is similar to that shown in FIG. 12(a) in the above-mentioned first embodiment. ) (b) and the appearance shown in Figure 13 are the same. That is, the wireless tag tag T is a five-layer structure in which a cover film 103 is added to the four-layer structure shown in FIG. The lower side in the middle) constitutes five layers by the cover film 103, the adhesive layer 101a, the base film 101b, the adhesive layer 101c, and the release paper 101d. And, as mentioned above, there is a wireless tag circuit element T ₀ composed of the IC circuit part 151 and the antenna 152 on the back of the base film 101b, and printed on the back of the cover film 103 is a letter R (in this example, indicating wireless). The text of "RF-ID" of the type of label tag T).

In the wireless tag information communication device 2' in this embodiment, when accessing (in this example, reading) the wireless tag information of the IC circuit part 151 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 , the above-mentioned terminal 5 or a regular computer The screen displayed on 6 is the same as the screen shown in FIG. 14 in the above-mentioned first embodiment, and the above-mentioned terminal 5 or the common computer 6 can display: the printed characters R printed corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 , as the wireless tag circuit The access (in this example, read) ID of the unique ID of the component _T0 , the address of the article information stored in the information server 7, and the storage address of these corresponding information in the routing server 4, etc. Then, by the operation of the terminal 5 or the general computer 6, the wireless tag information communication device 2' operates, prints the above-mentioned printed characters R on the cover film 103, and reads the article information stored in advance by the IC circuit part 151 as described below.

At this time, for example, the above-mentioned reading is performed on one wireless tag circuit element _T0 by one operation, and one wireless tag tag T is generated, and the generated wireless tag tag T and the IC circuit part 151 of the wireless tag tag T are read. The corresponding relationship of the above wireless tag information is stored in the routing server 4, and can be referred to as needed (refer to step S420 in FIG. 32 below).

With respect to the above basic structure, the biggest feature of the wireless tag information communication device 2' of this embodiment is that the wireless tag circuit element T carried by the substrate tape 101 stored and accommodated by the first roller 102 is provided in the box 100'. ₀ -related information (in this example, the identification information of each wireless tag circuit element T ₀ , etc., which will be discussed later in detail) can be read/writable memory (box side storage unit) 200; and connected to the memory 200 Connector (communication interface unit; first communication interface unit) 201, and, on the side of the main body of the wireless tag information communication device 2', it is connected to the above-mentioned control circuit 30, and can be connected to the above-mentioned control circuit 30 when loading and unloading the box 100'. A connector (second communication interface unit) 202 (refer to FIG. 29 ) to which the connector 201 is engaged/disengaged.

In the memory 200, when the substrate tape 101 is sequentially loaded with wireless tag circuit components T ₀ during the manufacture of the case 100', in order to store the identification information (identifier, ID number) of each wireless tag circuit component T ₀ grasped at this time For example, the order of taking out from the cassette 100' is input in advance by an appropriate method (for example, manual input by a worker, etc.), and is stored and saved.

30 and 31 are diagrams showing an example of the contents of data stored in the memory 200 .

FIG. 30 shows an example of the above-mentioned identification information, which corresponds to the case where the radio tag circuit components _T0 are arranged in the order of the above-mentioned ID numbers during the above-mentioned manufacturing (serial type). As shown in FIG. 30 , in this case, the following information is stored in the memory 200: "wireless tag circuit component type", "manufacturing date", "serial type identifier", "first rolled out wireless tag circuit component number" , "the circuit component number of the wireless tag unwound last", and "the circuit component number of the tag to be accessed (read in this example)".

The "wireless tag circuit element type" information is, for example, a predetermined model number, etc., and includes information on frequency bands and communication protocols to be used for transmission/reception. Based on this information, the control circuit 30 of the wireless tag information communication device 2' selects a frequency band, a communication protocol, etc. to be used for communication. And the control circuit 30 generates the control signal of the said VCO37 and PLL36 which generate|occur|produce the corresponding frequency signal. And control is performed so that the signal processing circuit 22 operates according to the selected communication protocol.

The "tag circuit component number of the access target" information serves as the next processing identifier. Based on this number, the control circuit 30 of the wireless tag information communication device 2' specifies the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ that should be communicated, and only performs processing on it. communication for accessing (in this example, reading) the wireless tag information of the IC circuit section 151 (details will be discussed later). And this "the tag circuit component number of the access target" information can be rewritten and updated from the control circuit 30 side. "Consistent, when accessing one by one (for reading in this example, for writing in the following modified example, specifically discussed later) ends, the numbers also increase one by one (the transfer of the next processing identifier), and finally The above-mentioned "the last unwound wireless tag circuit component number" as the end identifier is consistent, and all the wireless tag circuit components _T0 in the box 100' are unwound and accessed (reading in this example, in the following modified examples) For writing, which will be discussed later) end (discussed later).

FIG. 31 shows an example of the above-mentioned identification information, corresponding to the case where the above-mentioned ID numbers of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the above-mentioned manufacture are arranged in different order (random type).

As shown in FIG. 31 , in this case, the memory 200 stores and saves the information of "wireless tag circuit component type", "manufacturing date", and "random type identifier", and the following address 1, address 2, address 3, In address 4... (the order of the addresses follows the order in which it is rolled out from the box 100'), the ID number columns (identifier columns) of each wireless tag circuit component T ₀ are stored in the order in which they are taken out from the box 100', and the result is It becomes a list of random ID numbers irrespective of address numbers. Then, at the end (at the end) of these ID number strings, information (number of used prints) is stored and stored.

The "wireless tag circuit component type" information is the same as above.

The "printed number" information indicates that after the cassette 100' has been manufactured, the printing and accessing (reading in this example, writing in the following modified examples, which will be discussed later in detail) that have been rolled out so far are completed. The number of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ . Based on the number of prints and the ID numbers from address 1 to the last address, the control circuit 30 of the wireless tag information communication device 2' specifies the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that should be communicated, communicates only with it, and accesses the information ( In this example, it is read, and in a modified example described below, it is written, which will be described in detail later). In addition, the "printed number" information can be rewritten and updated from the control circuit 30 side, for example, it is 0 when an unused box 100' is installed, and the number increases one by one at the end of sequential visits, and finally in the box 100' Consistent with the number of all wireless tag circuit components T ₀ originally owned, unwinding and accessing of all wireless tag circuit components T ₀ (reading in this example, writing in the following modified example, details will be given later) Discussion) ends.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the procedure of transmitting and receiving information with the above-mentioned memory 200 and accessing (in this example, reading) the wireless tag circuit element _T0 , which are important parts of the present embodiment, among the control executed by the control circuit 30. .

In this FIG. 32, when the reading operation is performed by the wireless tag information device 2' (for example, the operation is performed for each wireless tag circuit element T ₀ as described above), the flow starts. First, in step S410, it is determined whether or not the cartridge 100' having the memory 200 is installed, for example, based on whether or not there is a connector 201 connected to the connector 202 on the wireless tag information communication device 2' side during installation.

When the judgment is not met, it is regarded as a box installation error, and proceeds to step S415, and completes predetermined error processing (for example, a predetermined error display signal is output to the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 via the input-output interface 201 and the communication line 3, After the corresponding failure (error display) is performed, the flow ends.

When the judgment is satisfied, proceed to step S420, and read the information stored in the memory 200 of the cassette 100' (refer to the aforementioned Fig. 30 and Fig. 31 ). The read information is temporarily stored in, for example, an unillustrated RAM or the like provided in the control circuit 30 .

Next, in step S430, it is judged whether the remaining number of wireless tag circuit components T0 in the mounted case 100' is 0 or not. This judgment is performed, for example, by the following operations.

When the data in the memory 200 is a serial type as shown in Figure 30, it is judged whether "the tag circuit element number of the access object" shown in the bottom section of Figure 30 is greater than the "last unwound wireless tag circuit element" shown in the upper section. Number". When it is a larger value, the remaining number is regarded as 0, which satisfies the judgment of the step S430, and proceeds to step S440, and the display signal indicating that the remaining number is 0 is output to the above-mentioned terminal 5 or The computer 6 is commonly used to perform corresponding display. If it is not a large value, the determination of step S430 is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S450.

When the data in the memory 200 is a random type as shown in Figure 31, it is judged whether the "number of prints" shown in the bottom section of Figure 31 is greater than the address of "the last wireless tag circuit component number rolled out" shown in the upper section number. When it is a larger value, the remaining number is regarded as 0, which satisfies the judgment of step S430, and proceeds to step S440. As above, the display signal indicating that the remaining number is 0 is output to The above-mentioned terminal 5 or the common computer 6 performs corresponding display. If it is not a large value, the determination of step S430 is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S450.

In step S450, firstly, the remaining number of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ in the mounted case 100' is counted.

This remainder counting is performed, for example, as follows.

When the data in the memory 200 is a sequence type as shown in FIG. ” and add 1 to the result. This is because, in the case of the serial type, as described above, each wireless tag circuit element T ₀ is arranged in the order of the ID number, so the value obtained by adding 1 to the difference matches the remaining number. When the data in the memory 200 is a random type as shown in Figure 31, calculate the address number of "number of prints" shown in the bottom section of Figure 31 and "the number of the wireless tag circuit element rolled out last" shown in the upper section How much difference, add 1 to this value. As above, these differences also coincide with the remainder. Therefore, it can be said that the memory 200 stores information on the remaining number of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ remaining in the case 100'.

And the step of calculating the remaining number in step S450 can also be performed in parallel in the above step S430.

Then, for the remaining number of wireless tag circuit components _T0 counted in this way, the corresponding remaining number display signal is output to the terminal 5 or the general computer 6 via the input/output interface 201 and the communication line 3, and the corresponding display is performed.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S460, and it is judged whether the remaining number of wireless tag circuit elements T ₀ calculated in step S450 is smaller than a predetermined threshold (5 in this example). When it is 4 or less, it satisfies the judgment, proceeds to step S470, and outputs a warning display signal that the remaining number of unused wireless tag circuit components T ₀ in the box 100' is small to the above-mentioned The terminal 5 or the common computer 6 carries out the corresponding remaining number warning display. In addition, in the remaining number counting method, as described above, when the data in the memory 200 is of the random type as shown in FIG. Whether the used number of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ is greater than the total number originally stored in the box 100 ′ minus 5.

When the remaining number is greater than 5, the judgment is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S480.

In step S480, it is judged whether the information in the memory 200 is of serial type.

When it is a serial type, it satisfies the judgment and advances to step S490A. When it is a random type, it does not satisfy the judgment and advances to step S490B, and performs pair access (reading in this example, and writing in the following variants) respectively. , which will be discussed in detail later) processing of reading (writing in the following modified examples, which will be discussed in detail later) of the target wireless tag circuit element T ₀ .

FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing specific control contents in the steps S490A and S490B.

In this FIG. 33 , first, in step S491 , a variable N for counting the number of retries performed when communication failure is suspected is initialized to 0.

Then, in step S492, the "ScrollID" command corresponding to the tag number in the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be read is output to the signal processing circuit 22 . Accordingly, a "ScrollID" signal as access information is generated in the signal processing circuit 22 and sent to the corresponding wireless tag circuit element T ₀ via the high frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply.

Next, in step S493, corresponding to the above-mentioned "ScrollID" signal, the response signal (wireless tag information such as item information) sent from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ corresponding to the tag number is received via the antenna 14, and the response signal (wireless tag information such as item information) is received via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal. The processing circuit 22 takes in.

Next, in step S494, according to the response signal received in step S493, it is judged whether the information in the storage unit 157 corresponding to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 can be received normally.

When the determination is not satisfied, proceed to step S495, add 1 to N, and further determine whether N is equal to 5 in step S496. When N≤4, the judgment is not satisfied, return to step S492, and repeat the same steps. When N=5, proceed to step S497, output the error display signal to the above-mentioned terminal 5 or common computer 6 via the input/output interface 201 and the communication circuit 3, perform corresponding reading failure (error) display, and end the process. In this way, up to five retries are performed when reading fails.

When the determination in step S494 is satisfied, the reading of the wireless tag information from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be read is completed, and this flow ends.

Through the above flow, the wireless tag information of the IC circuit unit 151 of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be stored is accessed and read.

In the case of the serial type, as described above, in step S490A, after the information reading process is completed for the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ with the ID number stored at that time in the "access target tag circuit element number", the process proceeds Go to step S500A shown in FIG. 32 . In step S500A, among the information read from the memory 200 in step S420, after adding 1 to the "label circuit component number of the access target" shown in the bottom row of FIG. The 200 outputs an update control signal to overwrite and update the information in the memory 200 to the above content.

In the case of the above-mentioned random type, as described above, in step S490B, in step S490B, the ID number of the wireless tag circuit component stored in the address of the number stored at this time plus 1 After _T0 completes the information reading process, proceed to step S500B. In step S500B, among the information read from the memory 200 in step S420, after adding 1 to the "number of prints" shown in the bottom row of FIG. signal, overwrite and update the information in the memory 200 to the above content, and proceed to step S520.

In step S520, the tag number of the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ that has been read in the above-mentioned step S490A or step S490B, the wireless tag information such as the article information read from the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ , and the corresponding wireless The printed content (printed characters R, etc.) of the label circuit information T ₀ on the cover film 103 is sent to the routing server 4 and stored in the corresponding storage address in the routing server. In this way, when you want to obtain item information related to the item to which the tag-shaped wireless tag T is attached, use a reader to read the wireless tag information of the IC circuit part 151 of the corresponding wireless tag T. , retrieve the corresponding item information from the routing server 4, so that the item information of the corresponding item can be obtained.

In addition, in the above-mentioned operation flow, an example in which the label tape 110 moving on the conveyance guide 13 is kept in the access area and accessed along with the printing operation is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the above-mentioned access can be performed in a state where the label tape 110 is stopped at a predetermined position and held by the transport guide 13 .

In the above operation, the signal processing circuit 22 is configured to generate access information (“ScrollID” signal, “Erase” signal, “Veriry” signal, “Program” signal, “Lock ” signal, etc.) access information generation unit. Furthermore, the transmitting unit 32 of the high-frequency circuit 21 forms an information transmitting unit, and non-contactly transmits the access information generated by the access information generating unit to the tag-side antenna via the device-side antenna, and accesses the wireless tag information of the IC circuit unit.

Moreover, the control circuit 30 constitutes an access control unit that controls the access operation performed by the information transmission unit, and also constitutes an information processing control unit that controls the access operation performed by the information transmission unit, and further performs update processing of information stored in the box side storage unit. .

The operation and effect of the present embodiment configured as above will be described below.

In this wireless tag production system 1, for the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ that is rolled out as the label tape 110 from the cassette 100' and is set and held at a predetermined position (access area) opposite to the antenna 14 by the transport guide 13, Access to the IC circuit unit 151 is sequentially performed (reading of wireless tag information in this example, for writing, refer to a modified example described below). That is, the access information (the aforementioned scrollID signal) generated by the signal processing circuit 22 of the wireless tag information communication device 2' is used in the transmission multiplying circuit 38, and the carrier wave from the VCO 37 is modulated and further amplified by the variable transmission amplifier 39, The data is transmitted from the antenna 14 to the IC circuit portion 151 side of the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ in a non-contact manner. At this time, when transmitting and receiving by using high-frequency wireless communication such as UHF band, the communication distance becomes longer, so not only from the wireless tag circuit element _T0 held in the transport guide 13 which is the original information reading target, but also It is also possible to read wireless tag information from subsequent wireless tag circuit components (wireless tag circuit components unwound from the following cassette 100', wireless tag circuit components accommodated in other cassettes 100') _T0 . Therefore, it is necessary to identify the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be read before performing the above-mentioned information reading, and communicate only with the identified element. On the other hand, when the wireless tag label T is produced, the wireless tag circuit component container composed of the base paper 101 carrying the above-mentioned wireless tag circuit component _T0 is a raw material, that is, a so-called consumable. After the generation of all the wireless tag tags T in the storage body is completed, a new wireless tag circuit component storage body is installed in the wireless tag information communication device 2' and the wireless tag generation operation is performed again. In addition, there may be a case where a plurality of wireless tag circuit component housings having different tag attribute parameters such as the width of the tape are replaced and the wireless tag generation work is performed.

In this embodiment, in view of the above situation, the above-mentioned wireless tag circuit component storage body is set as a box that can be attached to and detached from the wireless tag information communication device 2', and a memory 200 is provided in the box 100' to store and Information (the above identification information, etc.) related to all the wireless tag circuit components T ₀ of the wireless tag circuit component container. Specifically, when manufacturing the case 100', when the base tape 101 is sequentially placed on the wireless tag circuit components _T0 to form the wireless tag circuit component container, the ID number of each wireless tag circuit component _T0 grasped at this time is They are stored in the memory 200 in the order taken out from the cassette 100' (refer to the aforementioned FIGS. 30 and 31 ). In this way, when the box 100' is installed on the wireless tag information communication device 2' and the wireless tag information reading operation is performed, the control circuit 30 outside the box 100' accesses the memory 200 in step S420 shown in FIG. The ID number of the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ that should read the wireless tag information this time can be obtained. As a result, since the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be read can be easily identified, in step S490A or step S490B, only the identified wireless tag circuit element T ₀ can be prevented from being read. The IC circuit unit 151 of the other wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be acquired reads the wireless tag information. As a result, smooth access operation to the wireless tag circuit element _T0 in the case 100' can be ensured.

And, as mentioned above, after confirming the ID number of the reading target, and finishing the information reading from the IC circuit part 151 of one wireless tag circuit element _T0 , in step S500A or step S500B, the wireless tag circuit of the reading target is performed. The process of adding 1 to the component number or the number of prints, and by updating the information stored in the memory 200 in step S510, the ID number (or ID number for the wireless tag circuit component T ₀ of the next reading object) can be obtained. its information). Therefore, by repeating the above operations, it is possible to prevent the reading of the wireless tag information from the other wireless tag circuit element T ₀ which is not the target of reading, and to efficiently generate the wireless tag tag T.

Furthermore, by arranging the memory 200 as the storage unit on the box side and the wireless tag circuit component container in the box 100' at the same time, the wireless tag circuit element _T0 of the wireless tag circuit component container can be reliably maintained even when the box 100' is attached and detached. It is related to the integrity of the information stored in the memory 200 .

As a result, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to efficiently generate a large number of wireless tag tags T while preventing reading of wireless tag information from the IC circuit unit 151 of another wireless tag circuit element T ₀ not to be read.

In addition, by storing information on the frequency of use and the communication protocol in the memory 200, for example, when one wireless tag information communication device 2' is used by appropriately replacing various types of wireless tag circuit element housings with different frequency of use, it is also possible to easily select The frequency corresponding to each wireless tag circuit element container can reliably communicate.

Further, by connecting the memory 200 and the control circuit 30 through the connector 201 and the connector 202 that can be engaged/detached from each other, the detachability of the box 100' to the wireless tag information communication device 2' can be ensured, and at the same time, when installing, Through the connector 201 and the connector 202, the communication path between the memory 200 and the control circuit 30 in the case 100' can be ensured reliably.

And, as described in step S450 of FIG. 32 , the remaining number of wireless tag circuit components T ₀ inside the box 100 ′ is always displayed in the terminal 5 or the regular computer 6 . In this way, the number of remaining wireless tag circuit components T ₀ in the box 100 ′, which is usually difficult to determine, can always be accurately and accurately grasped.

Write the predetermined information above.

After that, in step S700 , a “Verify” command is output to the signal processing circuit 22 . Accordingly, the signal processing circuit 22 generates a "Verify" signal as access information, and transmits it to the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to which information is to be written via the high frequency circuit 21 to prompt a reply. Then in step S710, the response signal corresponding to the above-mentioned “Verify” signal sent from the wireless tag circuit element T ₀ to be written is received via the antenna 14 and taken in via the high frequency circuit 21 and the signal processing circuit 22 .

Next, in step S720, the information stored in the storage unit 157 of the wireless tag circuit element _T0 is checked based on the response signal, and it is judged whether the above-mentioned transmission schedule information is stored in the storage unit 157 normally.

When the determination is not satisfied, proceed to step S730, add 1 to N, and further determine whether N is equal to 5 in step S740.
