IC TAG READING NECESSITY DETERMINATION METHOD, IC TAG READING NECESSITY DETERMINATION APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING A PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An IC tag reading necessity determination method, comprising:
- preparing success rate information indicating a sequence of success rates of receiving a response from an IC tag to a first signal each time of transmitting the first signal to the IC tag for a set or a plurality of sets of times;
transmitting a second signal to a target IC tag, which is to be determined whether to be read, from a reading apparatus a plurality of times to acquire response reception result information indicating success/failure of reception of a response to the second signal each time in the reading apparatus; and
determining whether the target IC tag is to be read based on the success/failure of each time indicated in the response reception result information and a success rate of each time indicated in the success rate information.

Abstract
An IC-tag reading necessity determination method and system include preparing success rate information indicating a rate of success of receiving a response from an IC-tag to a first signal each time a set or a plurality of sets of transmitting the first signal to the IC-tag a plurality of times is performed, performing processing to transmit a second signal to a target IC-tag from a reading apparatus a plurality of times to acquire response reception success/failure information indicating success/failure of reception of a response to the second signal; and determining whether the target IC-tag is to be read based on the success/failure of each time indicated in the response reception success/failure information and a rate of success of each time indicated in the success rate information.

5. An IC tag reading necessity determination apparatus, comprising:
-
a success rate information storage unit that stores success rate information indicating a sequence of success rates of receiving a response from an IC tag to a first signal each time of sets of transmitting the first signal to the IC tag for a set or a plurality of sets of times; a reading control unit that controls a reading apparatus to transmit a second signal to a target IC tag a plurality of times, and to receive a response to the second signal each time; and a determination unit that determines whether the target IC tag is to be read based on success/failure of reception of the response of each time by the reading apparatus and a success rate of each time indicated in the success rate information. - View Dependent Claims (6)

7. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute an operation, comprising:
-
acquiring success rate information indicating a sequence of success rates of receiving a response from an IC tag to a first signal each time of transmitting the first signal to the IC tag for a set or a plurality of sets of times; controlling a reading apparatus to cause the reading apparatus to transmit a second signal to a target IC tag a plurality of times, and to cause the reading apparatus to receive a response to the second signal each time; and determining whether the target IC tag is to be read based on success/failure of reception of the response of each time by the reading apparatus and a success rate of each time indicated in the success rate information.

8. A computer-implemented method of determining whether an IC tag needs to be read, comprising:
-
determining whether a threshold is satisfied based on a result of a similarity comparison between stored reading pattern of the IC tag, where the stored reading pattern of the IC tag is a rate of success of reading the IC tag each time a signal is transmitted to the IC tag; and indicating that the IC tag needs to be read when the threshold is satisfied.
