Method for setting product number in ROM type RFID chip and method, apparatus and system for managing product implementation
First Claim
1. A method of setting the numbers of products in RFID chips respectively by using a computer, comprising the steps of:
- sending an ID format inclusive of character restrictions to a user terminal;
inputting a product number list including product numbers assigned in accordance with a user'"'"'s instruction into an application data field of a memory in said computer;
encoding said production numbers into chip IDs by using a character conversion table and verifying whether each encoded chip ID is not duplicate to any ID having been already assigned by the user in order to store the encoded chip IDs as unique chip IDs; and
setting said unique chip IDs read from said computer in read-only memories of said RFID chips respectively and providing antennas in said RFID chips respectively.

Abstract
ROM type RFID chips are produced while data (production numbers) assigned by a user are set in the ROM type RFID chips respectively. A header and an EDC are added and embedded to each data to thereby form an ID format. In the ID format, an application data field may be divided into a user number field and a serial number field in order to verify uniqueness of the data assigned by the user. Or the application data field may be entirely used for the set data assigned by the user in order to verify uniqueness of the numbers assigned by the user. Accordingly, production numbers can be set in chips on the basis of the data assigned by the user. As a result, verification for checking whether each product is genuine can be dispensed with, so that the cost of communication can be reduced.
