Contactless communication system and data carrier used for the same
First Claim
1. A contactless communication system, comprising a plurality of data carriers, and an access device for accessing said data carriers, whereineach of said data carriers detects a response requesting command from said access device and sends back an individual response signal for one-bit information at a time ordered based on a portion of its identification information of said data carrier, andsaid access device monitors individual slots of said response signals and determines that detection of the presence of data carriers is completed when the access device has obtained individual signals from said data carriers.

Abstract
To provide a contactless communication system that can reduce a time required to complete an identification of all data carriers that exist around a reader/writer and thus attempt to speed up its processing. According to the contactless communication system, multiple data carriers detect a response requesting command from an access device and send back an individual response signal for one-bit information to the access device at a time that is ordered based on a portion of each carrier'"'"'s identification information, and the access device monitors individual slots for the response signals and determines that detection of the presence of data carriers is completed when it has obtained individual signals from the data carriers, thereby reducing the time required to complete the identification of all data carriers.

5. A communication method for a contactless communication system, wherein an access device identifies and communicates with a plurality of data carriers in a communication area, comprising:
-
detecting a response requesting command from said access device in each of said data carriers and sending back to said access devices an individual response signal for one-bit information at a time ordered based on a portion of its identification information of said data carriers; and monitoring individual slots of said response signals at said access device and determining that detection of the presence of data carriers is completed when the access device has obtained individual signals from each of said plurality of data carriers. - View Dependent Claims (6)
