Method and apparatus for managing online and offline documents withRFID technology
First Claim
1. An apparatus for managing online and offline documents using radio frequency identification technology, comprising:
- a document management server receiving radio frequency identification tag information stored in the online and offline documents from a document management client and a document output apparatus to manage the online and offline documents;
a receiver receiving extracted radio frequency identification tag information from one of the document management client and the document output apparatus;
a radio frequency identification tag information analyzer receiving and analyzing the radio frequency identification tag information and extracting history information of a document comprising the radio frequency identification tag information to generate a radio frequency identification tag information analysis signal;
a document management information register receiving the radio frequency identification tag information analysis signal to store the history information of the document and generating new radio frequency identification tag information to be stored in a document to be output using the history information;
a transmitter transmitting the new radio frequency identification tag information to one of the document management client and the document output apparatus extracting the radio frequency identification tag information; and
a controller controlling an output and a circulation of the document using the radio frequency identification tag information analysis signal.

Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for managing online and offline documents using RFID technology. The method includes: pre-registering online and offline documents using radio frequency identification tag information stored in at least one of the online and offline documents to be output; determining whether the pre-registered online and offline documents are authorized to be output; and if it is determined that the pre-registered online and offline documents are authorized to be output, generating documents of the online and offline documents to be output and storing new radio frequency identification tag information in radio frequency identification tags attached to the documents to be output.
