Description

  The present invention is, for example, a slide fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap fastener with tape, a rail-shaped fastener having an engagement strip, a buckle, a cord stopper, a belt adjuster, an eggplant ring, an article on which a fastening product such as a snap button is attached, It is related to the authenticity determination and physical distribution management method of the article, and in particular, a first identification medium for short distance communication is provided in the fastening product, and an antenna for long distance communication is detachably attached to the first identification medium. The present invention relates to the article configured to be able to do this, the authenticity determination of the article, and the physical distribution management method.

  In the description of the present specification and claims, the identification medium is used as a term indicating a medium having an ID (Identification) identification code that can be read and / or written. A typical identification medium includes RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

  As the RFID, a silicon chip RFID or a crystal chip RFID can be used. An RFID is sometimes referred to as a wireless IC or an IC tag.

  The short-distance communication identification medium used in the description of the present specification and claims refers to an identification medium that can input and output identification information when the communication distance is less than 30 cm, and preferably less than a few tens of cm. For example, an RFID having a communication distance of 0 to less than 10 cm is included as an identification medium for short-range communication. The RFID may be any one that includes an antenna or one that does not include an antenna.

  In the description of the present specification and claims, the identification medium for long-distance communication is used to input and output identification information within a communication distance of 10 cm or more, preferably 30 cm or more and less than 5 m. The identification medium that can be used is used as a generic term. For example, an RFID having a communication distance of more than 10 cm is included as an identification medium for long-distance communication.

  In recent years, RFID that performs data communication by wireless communication method has been built into products at the production stage, and total product management from product production to distribution, sales, etc., product loss prevention, anti-theft, counterfeit prevention Etc. are done. In addition, it has been proposed to use RFID to prevent wrinkles of dementia patients by attaching it to clothes.

  In general, three types of RFID are generally used. The first type is referred to as a passive tag, which does not include a power supply battery for activation and stores data. Some data can be rewritten. In addition, as an activation power source in the passive tag, an electromotive force is generated by an electromagnetic wave received from an external reader, and the generated electromotive force is used as an RFID power source.

  The second type is called an active tag, which has a power supply battery for activation and can transmit stored data, and can rewrite stored data. There are also things. The third type is called a semi-passive tag. It has a power battery for startup, but if it does not receive a trigger signal transmitted from an external reader, it reads the stored data from the outside. It does not send to the device. Some semi-passive tags can rewrite stored data.

  When reading data stored in the RFID memory with an external reader, the passive tag has a reception antenna built in the RFID that receives a control signal from the reader and also functions as a coil. Yes. An electromotive force is generated in a coil which is a receiving antenna by an electromagnetic wave transmitted from an external reader, and RFID operation is performed with the electromotive force. In the case where the power supply battery is provided, the RFID is operated by the provided power supply battery without generating an electromotive force by the receiving antenna.

  When the RFID is in an operable state, it is possible to retrieve necessary data from the memory in the RFID based on a control signal from the reader and transmit the data as response data from the transmission antenna to the reader. The signal transmitted in response is received by the receiving antenna of the reading device, and the response data is analyzed in the control unit of the reading device. The response data is temporarily stored in the reader as data stored in the RFID, and then transmitted to a control device such as a personal computer.

  Further, it is possible to update or rewrite data stored in the memory in the RFID based on the control signal transmitted from the reading device, depending on the performance of the RFID. Various security measures are taken in reading and writing data from the memory in the RFID.

  For example, this kind of RFID is incorporated in a fastening product, for example, “slide fastener puller” described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-125721 or “with a sewing leg” described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-42100. “Clothing buttons” have been proposed.

  As shown in FIG. 39, a slide fastener handle described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-125721 has an RFID chip 74 and a coil antenna in a handle body 71 made of a soft material such as metal, synthetic resin, leather, or thick cloth. 73 is embedded, and the coil antenna 73 and the RFID chip 74 are enclosed in a thin glass tube 75.

  When the handle main body 71 is made of a metal material, an embedded hole 72 of the glass tube 75 is formed in the puller main body 71 and a transmission / reception slit 76 communicating with the inside and outside of the wall surface of the embedded hole 72 is formed. The signal transmission / reception is performed between the coil antenna 73 disposed in the transmission / reception slit 76 and the reading device disposed outside. After the glass tube 75 enclosing the coil antenna 73 and the RFID chip 74 is inserted into the embedded hole 72, the opening end of the embedded hole 72 is sealed with epoxy resin, and the coil antenna 73 and the RFID chip 74 are separated from each other. A handle main body 71 in which an RFID is embedded is formed.

  When the puller body 71 is made of a synthetic resin material, the puller body 71 is made of a synthetic resin material having electromagnetic permeability. The RFID enclosed in the glass tube 75 is enclosed in the embedding hole 72 by the epoxy resin in the same manner as the metal handle main body, and a handle main body 71 in which the RFID is embedded is formed.

  Furthermore, when the handle main body 71 is made of a leather material or a cloth material, an embedded space into which the glass tube 75 is inserted is formed in the handle main body 71. An RFID including a coil antenna 73 and an RFID chip 74 enclosed in a glass tube 75 is covered and reinforced by a metal tube having a long hole for transmission and reception. The reinforced RFID is concealed and stored in the embedded space.

  As shown in FIG. 40, the button for clothes with a sewing leg described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-42100 is composed of a button body 82 made of hard resin having electromagnetic permeability. A ring-shaped recess 84 is formed on the surface of the button main body 82, and a sewing leg 81 for sewing the button to clothes or the like is integrally provided on the back surface thereof.

  As shown in FIG. 41, an RFID chip 86 is arranged at the center of the recess 84, and a spiral coil antenna 85 electrically connected to the RFID chip 86 circulates in the recess 84. It is arranged in. After the RFID comprising the RFID chip 86 and the coil antenna 85 is placed in the recess 84, an epoxy resin 87 is poured into the recess 84 and solidified, and the coil antenna 85 and the RFID chip 86 are formed. The RFID is sealed and waterproofed, and a button with a built-in RFID is formed.

  Since the RFIDs disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2002-125721 and 2002-42100 are short-range trust RFIDs, they are stored in the RFID only within a narrow area where the distance between the RFID and the reader is short. The data could be read. In addition, with regard to clothing and bags equipped with slide fasteners and buttons with built-in RFID, logistics management of these clothing and bags etc. will be performed with data stored in the RFID memory built into the slide fasteners and buttons. In addition, data for logistics management must be stored in the RFID memory in addition to data related to product information of slide fasteners and buttons incorporating the RFID.

  Since RFID is always attached to products such as clothing and bags, information stored in RFID from end users who have purchased clothing or bags and other products with RFID attached by a third party maliciously. Can be stolen. For this reason, the history of goods equipped with RFID owned by the end user and the personal information of the end user, for example, how much the price of the goods owned is purchased at which store, what kind of store Information about personal privacy, such as whether or not you like to purchase a good product, will fall outside.

  In particular, the application of fastening products such as slide fasteners has been expanded and has been widely used from bags and bags to apparel, and there are various forms of use. For this reason, storing the logistics information on articles equipped with fastening products with RFID that can be illegally accessed for the fastening products used in these products meets consumer needs. Moreover, it was not preferable from the viewpoint of protecting personal privacy.

  In addition, in authenticity determination after an article equipped with a fastening product equipped with an RFID or identification medium for confirming a short distance is delivered to a customer who is an end user, the RFID is transmitted from the reader side according to a signal. The radio wave arrival distance from the RFID is not required, but in the distribution management at the manufacturing, wholesaler, or sales stage, the radio wave transmitted from the RFID is received by the reading device in a stable state over a predetermined range. It is hoped that

  For this reason, in order to perform authentication and physical distribution management, it is necessary to use long-distance trust RFID, but it is difficult to dispose long-distance trust RFID in the fastening product. If a trust RFID is attached to an article, unauthorized access is permitted, which is a problem.

  The present invention has been made to solve these problems. It is used as an identification medium for logistics management of goods by making the authenticity judgment of goods and fastening products with the identification medium of short-distance trust and connecting the antenna of long-distance trust to the identification medium of short-distance trust. This is to solve the above-mentioned problems. In addition, the long-distance communication antenna used when carrying out physical distribution management is removed from the article and connected to the short-distance communication identification medium attached to another new article. Is to recycle.

In order to achieve the above object, a first basic configuration of the present invention is an article having a first identification medium for short-range communication, wherein the first identification medium is an RFID for short-range communication. The RFID of the first identification medium has an antenna connection terminal for long-distance communication, and is fixed to a fastening product attached to the article.
When a long-distance communication antenna is connected to the antenna connection terminal, the first identification medium is used as an identification medium for logistics management for the article, and the long-distance communication antenna is connected to the antenna connection terminal. When not connected, the most important feature is that the first identification medium is used as an identification medium for authenticating the article.

In the invention with the second basic configuration of the present invention, the short-range communication RFID is fixed as a first identification medium to a fastening product to be attached to an article, and the first identification medium A method for authenticity determination and physical distribution management of the article, wherein a long-distance communication antenna is detachably connected to a long-distance communication antenna connection terminal connected to the RFID,
When a long-distance communication antenna is connected to the antenna connection terminal, the first identification medium is used as an identification medium for logistics management for the article, and the long-distance communication antenna is connected to the antenna connection terminal. When not connected, the first identification medium is used as an identification medium for authenticity determination for the article,
In the long-distance communication via the antenna connected to the antenna connection terminal, the logistics management of the article is at least one of data read from the memory of the first identification medium and data written to the memory The other most important feature is an article authenticity determination and physical distribution management method performed based on data.

  According to the present invention, by connecting a long-distance communication antenna, a short-distance communication RFID can be used as a long-distance communication RFID. RFID can be used as an RFID for logistics management when a long distance communication antenna is connected, and can be used as an RFID for authenticity determination when the long distance communication antenna is removed. Become.

  Moreover, the long-distance communication antenna can be configured by printing the antenna with a conductive paint on a film or the like, or by wiring on the surface of the hook-and-loop fastener, etc. Accordingly, an antenna having a desired antenna wire length can be easily formed.

  The RFID antenna connection terminal connected to the long-distance communication antenna can be formed on the article or on the fastening product attached to the article, and the antenna connection terminal can be disposed. If so, it can be formed at a desired site. In addition, as attachment means for detachably attaching a member provided with an antenna for long-distance communication to an article or a fastening product, attachment by adhesion, attachment using magnetic force, attachment by holding with a clip, etc., antenna connection terminal It can be attached by using various attachment means such as inserting a member provided with an antenna in a part where the antenna is formed. When attaching, it is desirable that the antenna is not connected.

  In the present invention, the power supply battery can be connected to the RFID in a detachable state. When the RFID of the first identification medium is an active type or semi-passive type, it is not necessary to connect a power battery separately, but it is possible to further extend the communication distance of long-distance communication by connecting a power battery. It becomes.

  As a result, by attaching a long-distance communication antenna to an article to which a short-distance communication RFID is attached, communication with an external reader in a wide area, or storage in a cardboard box, etc. It becomes possible to perform communication between the read article and an external reader.

  In this way, necessary management information or judgment information can be left on the article by the first identification medium even after the article is sold, and when the long-distance communication is no longer necessary, the long-distance communication antenna is connected to the first antenna. By removing from the antenna connection terminal of the identification medium, it is possible to prevent leakage of confidential information and the like regarding the article to the outside in long-distance communication.

  Further, by providing the first identification medium in the fastening product attached to the article, the management of the fastening product and the management of the article attached to the fastening product can be performed by the first identification medium. . In addition, the management of the article after the fastening product is attached, such as logistics information about the article, is the first that is the long-distance communication with the long-distance communication antenna connected to the antenna connection terminal of the first identification medium. This can be done in the identification medium.

  And the 1st identification medium made into short distance communication can be used as an identification medium for the authenticity determination of a fastening product or an article | item. The removed long distance communication antenna can be reused by being connected to another first identification medium.

  In addition, since the first identification medium for authenticity determination when the short distance communication is used is attached to the article as it is, when the end user requests repair of the article, or at the time of product inspection at customs, etc. It can be used as a determination means for determining the authenticity of an article. The authenticity determination can be performed by comparing the data stored in the first identification member with preset reference data for authenticity determination.

  As a first identification medium for short-range communication, an RFID or the like having a communication distance of 0 to several tens of centimeters can be used. The first identification medium when a long-distance communication antenna is connected can be used as an RFID having a communication distance of more than 10 cm.

  The invention having the second basic configuration of the present invention makes it possible to use a short-range communication RFID as a long-range communication RFID. For this reason, even without using RFID for long-distance communication, it is possible to make a RFID for long-distance communication by connecting or disconnecting an RFID for long-distance communication, or for short-range communication. It can be an RFID.

  In addition, data stored in the first identification medium or logistics management information corresponding to the stored data is stored in an external memory such as a personal computer, and stored in the data read from the first identification medium or in the first storage medium. Correspondence between the stored data and information stored in a personal computer or the like makes it possible to manage the distribution of goods and fastening products.

  By storing information in a personal computer or the like, even a large amount of data that cannot be stored in the first identification medium can be handled. Moreover, even if the amount of data for logistics management increases, the increased data can be recorded in a storage device such as a personal computer, so that a large amount of data can be obtained without increasing the memory capacity of the first identification medium. This makes it possible to carry out physical distribution management that requires a large amount of RFID, so that the RFID does not have to have a large shape.

  The removed long distance communication antenna can be used as a long distance communication antenna in another new article, and the long distance communication antenna can be reused.
