WORK DIRECTION DETERMINING METHOD AND DEVICE, AND WORK PROVIDED WITH DIRECTION DETERMINING FUNCTION
First Claim
1. A work direction determining method that aims to determine a work having a passive tag type IC tag secured at a predetermined position on a front surface thereof, the method allowing a direction determining device to determine a direction of the work,wherein the IC tag includes a substrate, an IC module and an antenna coil, the IC module and the antenna coil being disposed on the substrate adjacently to each other;
- wherein the direction determining device includes an antenna communicating with the IC tag, and a determination circuit; and
wherein in a state where the work and the direction determining device are located at respective predetermined communication positions, communication is performed between the antenna of the direction determining device and the antenna coil of the IC tag, and the magnitude of communication intensity during the communication is determined by the determination circuit to thereby determine a direction of the work.

Abstract
A work direction determining device includes a passive tag type IC tag secured at a predetermined position on the front surface thereof. The IC tag includes a substrate, an IC module and an antenna coil disposed on the substrate in an offset manner. The device includes an antenna communicating with the IC tag, and a determination circuit. Where the work and the direction determining device are located at respective predetermined communication positions, communication is done between the antenna of the direction determining device and the antenna coil of the IC tag, and the magnitude of communication intensity during the communication is determined by the determination circuit to thereby determine a direction of the work.
