Abstract

A base device is used in combination with an IC tag in a non-authentic article discrimination system for discriminating whether an article to which the IC tag is attached is a non-authentic article. The base device includes an antenna portion for receiving a radio wave transmitted from the IC tag and transmitting a radio wave generated in the base device toward the IC tag, a storing portion for storing information regarding the article, a discrimination portion for discriminating whether information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion coincides with information stored in the storing portion, and a displaying portion for displaying a discrimination result of the discrimination portion.

Claims

1. A base device to be used in combination with an IC tag in a non-authentic article discrimination system for discriminating whether an article to which the IC tag is attached is a non-authentic article, the base device, comprising:

an antenna portion for receiving a radio wave transmitted from the IC tag and transmitting a radio wave generated in the base device toward the IC tag;

a storing portion for storing information regarding the article;

a discrimination portion for discriminating whether information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion coincides with information stored in the storing portion; and

a displaying portion for displaying a discrimination result of the discrimination portion.

2. The base device as recited in claim 1, wherein the information stored in the storing portion is a manufacturer ID code of the article.

3. The base device as recited in claim 1, further comprising an alarm device which makes warning sound depending on the discrimination result.

4. The base device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a computing portion for computing the information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion depending on a discrimination result of the discrimination portion.

5. The base device as recited in claim 1, further comprising an alarm device which makes warning sound depending on the discrimination result and a computing portion for computing the information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion depending on a discrimination result of the discrimination portion.

6. A base device to be used in combination with an IC tag in a non-authentic article discrimination system for discriminating whether an article to which the IC tag is attached is a non-authentic article, the base device, comprising:

a storing portion for storing information regarding the article;

an antenna portion for transmitting a radio wave including the information stored in the storing portion toward the IC tag; and

a radio wave supplying circuit for supplying the radio wave including the information stored in the storing portion to the antenna portion.

7. The base device as recited in claim 6, wherein the information stored in the storing portion is a manufacturer ID code of the article.

8. A base device to be used in combination with an IC tag in a non-authentic article discrimination system for discriminating whether an article to which the IC tag is attached is a non-authentic article, the base device, comprising:

a storing portion for storing information regarding the article;

an antenna portion for transmitting a radio wave including the information stored in the storing portion toward the IC tag and receiving a radio wave transmitted from the IC tag;

a radio wave supplying circuit for supplying the radio wave including the information stored in the storing portion to the antenna portion;

a discrimination portion for discriminating whether the information stored in the storing portion coincides with the information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion; and

a displaying portion for displaying a discrimination result of the discrimination portion.

9. The base device as recited in claim 8, wherein the information stored in the storing portion is a manufacturer ID code of the article.

10. The base device as recited in claim 8, further comprising an alarm device which makes warning sound depending on the discrimination result.

11. The base device as recited in claim 8, further comprising a computing portion for computing the information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion depending on a discrimination result of the discrimination portion.

12. The IC tag as recited in claim 8, further comprising an alarm device which makes warning sound depending on the discrimination result and a computing portion for computing the information included in the radio wave received by the antenna portion depending on a discrimination result of the discrimination portion, and wherein the information stored in the storing portion is a manufacturer ID code of the article.
