1. An ID registration method for an ID collation system which includes a receiver receiving information transmitted from a transmitter, comprising the steps of:
- causing said receiver to transmit a collation ID to said transmitter;
causing said transmitter to receive said collation ID transmitted from said receiver and register the received collation ID as a registered ID of said transmitter;
causing said transmitter to produce transmission information including said registered ID of said transmitter and transmit said transmission information to said receiver;
causing said receiver to receive said transmission information and compare said registered ID included in said transmission information with said collation ID stored in said receiver to check whether or not said transmission information is transmitted from said transmitter; and

Abstract
A transmitter mode switching apparatus switches a transmitter into an ID registration mode, while a receiver mode switching apparatus switches a receiver into an ID transmission mode (step S1). Then, a collation ID to be transmitted from the receiver is set based on an ID assigned inherently to the receiver (step S2). Subsequently, an ID transmitting apparatus of the receiver transmits the collation ID (step S3). An ID receiving apparatus of the transmitter receives the collation ID (step S4). An ID registration apparatus of the transmitter stores the received collation ID as a registered ID of the transmitter (step S5). After the ID registration is accomplished, the transmitter mode switching apparatus returns the transmitter to an ordinary mode, while the receiver mode switching apparatus returns the receiver to an ordinary mode (step S6).
