1. An ID reading device that acquires IDs from a reader that reads identification labels, each of said IDs being an article identifier given to an identification label attached to an article, said ID reading device comprising:
- an expected ID acquisition unit that acquires IDs to be read;
a read attribute acquisition unit that acquires a correspondence between read attributes and the IDs, said read attributes being classifications of articles based on a possibility that, even if an identification label to which an ID is given cannot be read by said reader, there is actually an article to which the identification label is attached;
a complement condition storage unit that stores a correspondence between complement conditions, each of which is a condition for complementing an ID, and the read attributes; and
a complement unit that compares the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition unit with the IDs received by the reader for each of the read attributes and, if complement conditions defined in said complement condition storage unit and corresponding to the read attributes are satisfied, complements the IDs acquired by the reader with the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition unit.

Abstract
An ID reading device in an ID reading system that acquires IDs from a reader that reads identification labels, comprises an expected ID acquisition unit that acquires IDs to be read; a read attribute acquisition unit that acquires a correspondence between read attributes and the IDs, the read attributes being classifications of articles based on a possibility that, there is actually an article to which the identification label is attached; a complement condition storage unit that stores a correspondence between complement conditions for complementing the IDs and the read attributes; and a complement unit that compares the IDs acquired by the expected ID acquisition unit with the IDs received by the reader for each of the read attributes where their correspondence is stored in a read attribute storage unit and complements the IDs acquired by the reader with the IDs acquired by the expected ID acquisition unit.

-
an expected ID acquisition unit that acquires IDs to be read; a read attribute acquisition unit that acquires a correspondence between read attributes and the IDs, said read attributes being classifications of articles based on a possibility that, even if an identification label to which an ID is given cannot be read by said reader, there is actually an article to which the identification label is attached; a complement condition storage unit that stores a correspondence between complement conditions, each of which is a condition for complementing an ID, and the read attributes; and a complement unit that compares the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition unit with the IDs received by the reader for each of the read attributes and, if complement conditions defined in said complement condition storage unit and corresponding to the read attributes are satisfied, complements the IDs acquired by the reader with the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition unit. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. An ID reading method that acquires IDs from a reader that reads identification labels, each of said IDs being an article identifier given to an identification label attached to an article, said ID reading method comprising:
-
an expected ID acquisition step of acquiring IDs to be read; a read attribute acquisition step of acquiring a correspondence between read attributes and the IDs, said read attributes being classifications of articles based on a possibility that, even if an identification label to which an ID is given cannot be read by said reader, there is actually an article to which the identification label is attached; a complement condition storage step of storing a correspondence between complement conditions, each of which is a condition for complementing an ID, and the read attributes; and a complement step of comparing the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition step with the IDs received by the reader for each of the read attributes and, if complement conditions defined in said complement condition storage step and corresponding to the read attribute are satisfied, complementing the IDs acquired by the reader with the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition step. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An inspection device that acquires IDs from a reader that reads identification labels, each of said IDs being an article identifier given to an identification label attached to an article, said inspection device comprising:
-
an expected ID acquisition unit that acquires IDs to be read; a read attribute acquisition unit that acquires a correspondence between read attributes and the IDs, said read attributes being classifications of articles based on a possibility that, even if an identification label to which an ID is given cannot be read by said reader, there is actually an article to which the identification label is attached; an inspection pass standard acquisition unit that acquires a correspondence between the read attributes and inspection pass standards; and an inspection unit that compares the IDs acquired by said expected ID acquisition unit with the IDs received by the reader for each of the read attributes and, if standards corresponding to the read attribute acquired by said inspection pass standard acquisition unit are satisfied, determines that the inspection is passed. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
