Abstract

A portable terminal and a computer readable storage medium are described. According to one implementation, a portable terminal includes, a storage section, an imaging section, a notifying section and a control section. The storage section stores item identification information to identify an item with a RFID tag attached corresponded with tag position information which shows a position of the RFID tag. The control section retrieves item identification information of an item corresponding to image data imaged by the imaging section from the stored item identification information, and allows the notifying section to notify the tag position information corresponding to the retrieved item identification information.

Claims

1. A portable terminal comprising:

a storage section which stores item identification information to identify an item with a RFID tag attached corresponded with tag position information which shows a position of the RFID tag;

an imaging section which images an item;

a notifying section which notifies information; and

a control section which retrieves item identification information of an item corresponding to image data imaged by the imaging section from the stored item identification information, and which allows the notifying section to notify the tag position information corresponding to the retrieved item identification information.

2. The portable terminal according to claim 1, wherein the notifying section displays the tag position information corresponding to the item identification information on a display section.

3. The portable terminal according to claim 2, wherein the notifying section displays image data imaged by the imaging section on the display section and also displays a display mark showing a position of the RFID tag in a position corresponding to the tag position information in the displayed image data.

4. The portable terminal according to claim 1,

further comprising a reading section which reads information stored in the RFID tag,

wherein the control section allows the reading section to start reading information stored in the RFID tag after allowing the notifying section to notify the tag position information.

5. The portable terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the item identification information is image data of the item;

and

the control section retrieves the image data of the item which matches a subject of the image data imaged by the imaging section from the image data stored in the storage section.

6. The portable terminal according to claim 5,

further comprising an operation section which receives input of operation,

wherein the control section obtains image data of the item imaged by the imaging section and stores in the storage section the tag position information input on the operation section corresponded with the image data.

7. The portable terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the item identification information is image data of a mark to identify the item;

the imaging section images the mark attached to the item; and

the control section retrieves the image data of the mark which matches a subject of the image data imaged by the imaging section from the image data stored in the storage section.

8. The portable terminal according to claim 7, further comprising:

an operation section which receives input of operation; and

a print section which prints an image of the image data, wherein

the control section sets the image data of the mark corresponding to the item, allows the print section to print the mark with the set image data, and stores in the storage section the tag position information input on the operation section corresponded to the set image data.

9. The portable terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the item identification information is code information of a symbol to identify the item;

the imaging section images the symbol attached to the item; and

the control section decodes the image data imaged by the imaging section to obtain the code information and retrieves the obtained code information from the code information stored in the storage section.

10. The portable terminal according to claim 9, further comprising:

an operation section which receives input of operation; and

a print section which prints an image of the image data,

wherein the control section generates code information corresponding to the item and image data of the symbol including the code information, allows the print section to print the symbol with the generated image data, and stores in the storage section the tag position information input on the operation section corresponded to the generated code information.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon for controlling a computer to execute the following process:

storing item identification information to identify an item with a RFID tag attached corresponded with tag position information which shows a position of the RFID tag;

imaging an item; and

retrieving item identification information of an item corresponding to the imaged image data from the stored item identification information, and notifying the tag position information corresponding to the retrieved item identification information.
