Abstract
An ID issue management system capable of uniquely assigning and issuing an ID depending upon an article classification to a tag having an blank ID, and an article information management system and an ID issue management method capable of managing article information by issuing new IDs are provided. An ID reading and writing control server is connected to an ID issue management server via a network. An operator inputs an article classification by using an input device in the ID reading and writing control server, and places an article which becomes a subject of ID issue on an RF tag reader/writer. If it is detected that an ID is not yet issued, a new ID is received from the ID issue management server and is written. The article classification may also be specified by reading a bar code or on the basis of appearance of the article. Verification is conducted on the written ID to determine whether there is a mistake in writing.
