Abstract

To provide a vehicle in which information regarding RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is easily read and written by attaching a tag at a position where electromagnetic waves can be received. A vehicle includes a tag mounted thereon. The tag includes a recording medium in which identification information for identifying the vehicle is registered. The tag is attached inside a resin member. In particularly, the tag is attached inside a vehicle seat composed of a resin member. Furthermore, a tag can be attached as described above in a saddle-type vehicle.

Claims

1. A vehicle, comprising:

a tag, said tag being mounted in the vehicle, the tag including a recording medium in which identification information for identifying the vehicle is registered,

wherein the tag is attached inside a resin member of the vehicle.

2. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the tag is attached inside a vehicle seat composed of a resin member.

3. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle is a saddle-type vehicle.

4. The vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the vehicle is a saddle-type vehicle.

5. The vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the tag is located adjacent to a front or rear of the seat, so that a distance between the tag and an outside of the seat is small.

6. The vehicle according to claim 4, wherein the tag is located adjacent to a front or rear of the seat, so that a distance between the tag and an outside of the seat is small.

7. The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the tag is an RFID tag including an IC and means for transmitting/receiving radio signal embedded therein.

8. The vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the tag is an RFID tag including an IC and means for transmitting/receiving radio signal embedded therein.

9. A vehicle, comprising:

a vehicle body;

a resin member attached to said vehicle body; and

a tag attached inside said resin member, said tag including a recording medium in which identification information for identifying the vehicle is registered.

10. The vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the tag is attached inside a vehicle seat composed of a resin member.

11. The vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the vehicle is a saddle-type vehicle.

12. The vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the vehicle is a saddle-type vehicle.

13. The vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the tag is located adjacent to a front or rear of the seat, so that a distance between the tag and an outside of the seat is small.
