Patent Searching and Data


Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING GROUP OF RADIO-FREQUENCY TAGS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3017994
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly determine which tag can satisfy a predetermined standard by shifting a tag in a tag group from an operable condition into a selected condition.
SOLUTION: A microprocessor 110 at a base station 105 carries out algorithm 115 so as to transmit a group selecting command 410 to a tag antenna 162 for tags 162 in a tag group 150 through components including a radio- frequency(RF) front end 120 to RF antenna 125, with the use of an RF signal 130. A control circuit 166 having a received the command 140 through the RF front end 164 carries out algorithm 170 shifts a tag in which data satisfying a selecting condition 505 in the command 410 is stored in memory 168, into a selected condition from a group 150 in an operable condition. Thereby it is possible to determine which tag satisfies a predetermined standard.
