As described above, even when the frequency band that the wireless IC tag 10 can receive is different, the portable reader / writer 20 can communicate with the wireless IC tag 10. Standards are inconsistent due to application examples such as wireless IC tags attached to or embedded in "things" such as parts or members, or wireless IC cards used for entering and leaving people or for tickets, and various specifications (Communication frequency, modulation / demodulation method, protocol, data format, security method, encryption method, etc.) are used in a mixed manner, as described above, between the reader / writer and the wireless IC tag. Can be used for communication.

In the above-described embodiment, the tag type may further include a modulation / demodulation method, a data format, a security method, or an encryption method. 1.8 Modified Example of Portable Reader / Writer 20 (1) The portable reader / writer 20 may be configured as follows.

9) An access process is performed with the wireless IC tag 10 in the 13 MHz band (step S210). If there is no reception of the tag type within the predetermined time (step S209), then the portable reader / writer 20 performs an access request command generation process in the 2.4 GHz band (step S21).
1) An access request command is output in the 2.4 GHz band (step S212). The wireless IC tag 10 reads out the tag type (Step S213) and outputs it (Step S214).

The portable reader / writer 20 is 2.4 GHz
Waiting for reception of tag type by band (step S21)
5) If a tag type is received (step S21)
6) An access process is performed with the wireless IC tag 10 in the 2.4 GHz band (step S217). Thereby, the portable reader / writer 20 can communicate with the wireless IC tag 10 even in various specifications having different frequency bands that the wireless IC tag 10 can receive. 1.9 Modification of Portable Reader / Writer 20 (2) The portable reader / writer 20 may be configured as follows.

The portable reader / writer 20, as shown as an example in FIG.
One. Frequency band type history table 251
Stores 10 frequency band types of wireless IC tags accessed in the latest past. The portable reader / writer 20 reads out all the frequency band types from the frequency band type history table 251 as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 26, and generates the frequency of occurrence of each frequency band type included in the frequency band type history table 251. Is counted (step S221), the most frequent frequency band is set as the first output frequency band (step S222), the next most frequent frequency band is set as the second output frequency band (step S223), and the least frequent frequency band is set. The band is set as the third output frequency band (step S224). In this way, the output order according to the frequency band is determined in the order of the first output frequency band, the second output frequency band, and the third output frequency band.

Next, in the above modified example (1), an access request instruction is output in this order. Specifically, steps S201 to S201 in the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step S202, the first output frequency band is used. In steps S206 to S207, the second output frequency band is used. In steps S211 to S213, the third output frequency band is used.

When the communication with the wireless IC tag is completed in this way, the portable reader / writer 20 newly writes the frequency band type used for communication with the wireless IC tag in the frequency band type history table 251 and writes the new frequency band type first. Frequency band type history table 25
Delete from 1. In this way, the priority of the frequency band type to be used next is determined using the frequency of the frequency band type used in the past communication, and the access request command is transmitted in the order of the frequency band according to the determined priority. I do.
Thereby, even if the wireless IC tag 10 has various specifications in which the receivable frequency band is different, the portable reader / writer 2
A value of 0 enables communication with the wireless IC tag 10, and a frequency band that can be used with the wireless IC tag 10 can be statistically quickly determined. 1.10 Modification of Access System The wireless IC tag 10 and the portable reader / writer 20 may encrypt data to be communicated in order to ensure security of communication between them. Wireless IC tag 1
0 and the portable reader / writer 20 store programs for encryption and corresponding decryption, one device encrypts and transmits data, and the other device encrypts data. And decrypt it. An example of the encryption algorithm is a chaotic cipher, and a chaotic block cipher is generated by sequentially calculating a logistic map X (t + 1) = 4X (t) {1-X (t)}. 1.11 Modification of Access System The access system may be configured as follows.

The memory section 210 has a first area composed of a semiconductor memory capable of reading information a plurality of times and overwriting information a plurality of times, and capable of reading information a plurality of times and writing information only once. 2nd composed of various semiconductor memories
Region. In FIG. 12, the unprotected part 231
The protection section 232 is a first area, and the one-time 233 is a second area.

The wireless IC tag determines whether to access the first area or the second area based on the received access command. Here, the determination is made using a physical address included in the access instruction. That is, the determination is made based on whether the physical address points to the first area or the second area. Next, the first area or the second area is accessed based on the determination result.

One example of the information stored in the second area is as follows.
The warranty period of the article and the warranty number. One example of the access device is a sales management device that manages the sale of an article to which the information storage medium is attached. The access device accepts a deposit operation from an operator, and when the deposit operation is accepted, generates an access request requesting an access instruction indicating writing of guarantee information indicating the guarantee condition of the article in the second area. I do. The information storage medium determines that the access is to the second area, and writes the guarantee information to the second area based on the determination result.

As an application example at the point of sale, at a store,
By storing warranty information such as the date of sale, the name of the store and the warranty period and warranty conditions of the product in the wireless IC tag via a reader / writer, trouble shooting during use, upgrade support, and recovery for quality problems A wide range of service and maintenance support is possible. In this way, it is not necessary to keep the conventional warranty card and confusing inquiry processing, and it is possible to improve customer satisfaction.

Another example of the information stored in the second area is manifest information at the time of collecting the article. An example of the access device is a collection management device that manages collection of the article to which the information storage medium is attached. The access device receives an operation from an operator, and when the operation is received, generates an access request for requesting an access instruction indicating writing of the manifest information of the article in the second area. The information storage medium determines that the access is to the second area, and writes the manifest information to the second area based on the determination result.

The manifest system currently under consideration uses a slip of several spelled sheets. The target is home appliances (TV sets, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines), which the emitters bring to the dealer, pay the processing fee, and receive a manifest slip as the processing registration slip. The contractor involved in processing scrap stores this for 5 years. In response to the inquirer about the processing from the discharger, this form clarifies that the processing has been properly performed. However, this mechanism is expected to cost a large amount of paper, storage costs, and search checks. In order to solve this problem, in the process of collection and recycling, information recorded on the wireless IC tag embedded in the device is read by a reader / writer, stored in the host computer, and, if necessary, communicated with the Internet or other communication means. The discharger can check via. In this way, it is possible to construct a waste collection system quickly and at low cost.

Further, the contents can be read at the time of collection and recycling using the type and amount of the environmentally hazardous substance stored in the wireless IC tag in advance and used as a collection record. In calculating the recycling rate, data (type, weight) for each member recorded in this tag at the time of manufacture
Can be read by a reader / writer, written into a host computer as a record of the amount of separation and recycling, and used.

Further, with respect to complicated procedures and handling methods such as decomposition information of products and a method of removing environmentally hazardous substances, it is impossible to store all in the wireless IC tag due to memory capacity, price and the like. Therefore, only the identification codes for searching in these methods are stored, and details of these methods are stored in the host computer. The identification code is wireless I by reader / writer.
The method is read from the C tag, and the corresponding method is read from the host computer using the identification code. The read method may be displayed and printed on a reader / writer or a personal computer.

Another example of the information stored in the second area is environmentally harmful substance information (for example, the type and amount of the CFC substitute gas) on the environmentally harmful substances constituting the article. One example of the access device is a manufacturing management device that manages the manufacturing of an article to which the information storage medium is attached. The access device receives an operation from an operator and, when the operation is received, an access requesting an access instruction indicating writing of environmentally harmful substance information indicating an environmentally harmful substance contained in the article to the second area. Generate a request. The storage information medium determines that the access is to the second area, and writes the environmentally hazardous substance information to the second area based on the determination result. Other examples other than the environmentally hazardous substance information include production condition information at the time of production, such as assembly conditions, processing conditions, inspection conditions, and measured values thereof, lot numbers, names of production factories, and production dates. The above information can be read, used for service, collection and recycling, etc. at the time of recycling and collection, and at the time of service such as product repair. When the product is repaired or collected, the manufacturing conditions may be read, and the read, manufactured conditions may be used to repair, disassemble, and reuse the product. 2.
