Article management system, RFID tag, and apparatus for communicating with RFID tag
First Claim
1. An article management system comprising:
- a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tag circuit elements respectively handled in association with articles to be managed; and
an apparatus for communicating with an RFID tag,each of said RFID tag circuit elements having an IC circuit part storing information and a tag antenna for information transmission/reception, said IC circuit part storing tag identification information, own target information of said article to be managed, and management position information of the article to be managed, andsaid apparatus for communicating with an RFID tag having;
a communicating device configured to carry out information transmission/reception with said RFID tag circuit element via radio communication;
a position-information obtainment portion configured to obtain said management position information stored in said IC circuit part of said RFID tag circuit element through said communicating device; and
a position-information display output portion configured to output a signal for displaying said management position information obtained by said position-information obtainment portion to a display device.
