Description

In particular, the present invention relates to an RFID label continuum in which an RFID inlet is incorporated and a method for producing the same, and an RFID tag continuum and a method for producing the same .

Conventionally, various types of information are stored in a built-in RFID (Radio Frequency-Identification), and various types of management are performed using the various types of information.
For example, for products having uniform characteristics such as jewelry and precious metals, an antenna for communicating with the outside, a transceiver connected to the antenna, and a storage unit for storing product management data ( Memory) and processing to send the product management data stored in the storage unit to the outside when receiving the write command from the outside and writing the product management data to the storage unit and receiving the read command from the outside A so-called RFID tag with a built-in RFID is attached to the product (jewel), and the product management data is read by the reader / writer from the ID tag as an information recording carrier attached to the product (jewel). The product management data is read by the reader / writer from the ID tag attached to the jewelry (stock product) remaining in the showcase. It has been performed so as to sales analysis muscle products (e.g., see Patent Document 1).
By the way, the ID tag as the “information record carrier” is required to have a size (size) corresponding to the size of the product to be managed. In particular, when an ID tag larger than a jewel that is a product is attached to a small product such as a jewel, there is a problem that the product looks poor and the sense of quality is impaired and the appearance is deteriorated. For this reason, a small ID tag (information recording carrier) has been desired particularly for jewelry, precious metals, etc., in order to make jewelry as a commodity stand out.
However, when an ID tag (information record carrier) with a built-in RFID is created, information is written to a storage unit (memory such as an IC chip) via the antenna, so that the antenna having normal communication performance can be accommodated. And a certain distance between adjacent information record carriers.
A conventional “information record carrier” will be described using the RFID label continuum 50 of FIGS. 5 and 6 as an example. FIG. 5 is an explanatory plan view of the RFID label continuum 50, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory schematic side view of the RFID label continuum 50 as viewed from the direction of arrow VI in FIG. As shown in the figure, the RFID label continuum 50 has a long shape in which a label main body 3 is partitioned and formed at substantially equal intervals on a mount 2 and is temporarily attached. Each label main body 3 has an IC chip. 4 and an antenna 5 including an antenna 5 are built in. The RFID inlet 6 is sandwiched between an upper sheet 7 and the mount 2 and bonded together with an adhesive 8, and the mount 2 is peeled off, the label body 3 constituted by the upper paper 7 and the RFID inlet 6 provided with the IC chip 4 and the antenna 5 is peeled off from the mount 2 and is not shown through the adhesive 8. The product can be pasted and displayed.
There is a printer that uses the RFID label continuum 50 as an “information recording medium” to store the various types of information and writes desired information on an upper sheet 7 to create a label body 3 that is displayed on a product (for example, a patent) Reference 2).
According to this printer, the size, width, shape, etc. of the labels used are not the same, and the arrangement of the RFID inlet is determined by the position of the antenna of the RFID reader / writer. There is a problem that it is limited to a predetermined range in which the writer's antenna can be transmitted and received, and when the label size is reduced, a large number of labels are temporarily attached to the mount formed in a band shape at regular intervals. In the paper (label continuum), the interval between adjacent labels is narrowed, and a plurality of labels are placed in the operating range for the antenna, and the target label for the signal transmitted from the reader / writer via the antenna The label before and after the response also responds, and there is a problem that data cannot be written. Since, in order to cope with the problems, regardless of the shape and size of the label, it is obtained to be able to perform communication only with the desired label IC chip.
However, according to the printer of Patent Document 2, output value changing means for changing the output value of the radio wave transmitted from the antenna (second antenna) of the RFID reader / writer is provided, and the output value of the radio wave according to the type of label. In addition, an antenna moving means for moving the second antenna in the width direction is provided, the second antenna is moved in the width direction according to the type of the label, and the second antenna constitutes the RFID inlet of the label There is a problem that the configuration is complicated, for example, the apparatus is moved directly below the first antenna, and the apparatus (printer) itself is expensive.

Hereinafter, an information record carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the following, portions common to the background art (conventional) will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an information record carrier, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion II in FIG.
As shown in the figure, an RFID label continuum 1 as an “information record carrier” has a label main body 3 as a “record carrier main body” partitioned and formed on a mount 2 as a “back paper” at almost equal intervals. Presents a long shape. Each label body 3 incorporates an RFID inlet 6 having an IC chip 4 and an antenna 5, and the RFID inlet 6 is sandwiched between an upper paper 7 and the mount 2 and bonded with an adhesive 8. The label main body 3 is temporarily attached via an adhesive 8 so as to be peelable from the mount 2.
A perforation 11 including a portion of the RFID inlet 6 is perforated in the label main body 3 from the surface side of the upper paper 7 to the surface of the backing paper 2 on the adhesive 8 side. The display unit 12 is partitioned and formed in a size (size) smaller than the label main body 3. In the present embodiment, the IC chip 4 is disposed at a substantially central portion in the width direction W of the label main body 3.
Mainly, as shown in FIG. 2, the perforation 11 is formed by a cut portion 11a and a non-cut portion 11b, and the antenna 5 provided in the RFID inlet 6 is one of the central portions in the thickness direction T. The slit is formed by the cut part 11a in the both ends (thickness direction T) in the state which left the part. When the antenna 5 is thin, the perforation 11 can be provided while avoiding the antenna 5.

Next, a usage example of the RFID label continuous body 1 will be described.
In a printer (not shown) (for example, a printer disclosed in Patent Document 2), desired information is supplied to the IC chip 4 of the RFID inlet 6 of the RFID label continuous body 1 from the antenna of the RFID reader / writer (not shown) of the printer via the antenna 5. And a desired printing is performed on the display unit 12 by a printing unit (not shown). The arrangement position of the RFID reader / writer (not shown) is fixed to the central portion of the RFID label continuous body 1 in the width W direction.

  Next, the display unit 12 is separated from the printed / issued label body 3. That is, the display section 12 defined and formed by the perforation 11 formed from the upper sheet 7 until reaching the mount 2 is cut along the perforation 11 by folding the antenna 5 of the RFID inlet 6 to remove the adhesive 8. The display unit 12 that is temporarily attached to the mount 2 is peeled off, and the display unit 12 peeled off from the mount 2 is pasted and displayed on a product (not shown) via an adhesive 8.

    As described above, the label main body 3 as the “recording carrier main body” has the display section 12 defined and formed by the perforations 11, and the antenna 5 provided in the RFID inlet 6 has a thickness direction T. A part of the central portion is left as a non-cut portion 11b of the perforation 11, and both end portions in the thickness direction T are in a slit state by the cut portion 11a, and a printer (not shown) as an RFID label continuum 1 (for example, Since the antenna 5 is integrally formed by the non-cut portion 11b when the desired information is written by the printing portion (not shown) mounted on the printer and the RFID reader / writer antenna (not shown). The transmission / reception range of the antenna formed in the size of the label body 3 can be secured, and further, when the display unit 12 is separated along the perforation 11, Since only a part of the non-cut portion 11b is left at the central portion in the thickness direction T, the antenna 5 can be easily folded and the RFID inlet 6 in which the cut portion 11a of the perforation 11 is formed can be separated. Therefore, the display unit 12 as a “small label” can be easily created.

Next, another embodiment will be described mainly using FIG. 3 and FIG.
In the following description, the same parts as those in the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
While the previous embodiment is the RFID label continuum 1, this embodiment will be described with an example in which the “information record carrier” is the RFID tag continuum 20.
The RFID tag continuum 20 includes an RFID tag main body (hereinafter simply referred to as a “tag main body”) 21 as a “recording carrier main body” 21 connected in a long shape, and adjacent tag main bodies 21, 21 are connected to each other. Are defined and formed by perforations 22.
Each tag body 21 incorporates an RFID inlet 6 including an IC chip 4 and an antenna 5. The RFID inlet 6 is sandwiched between a thick upper paper 23 and a backing paper 24 and is attached with an adhesive 8. It is configured together.
A perforation 26 including a portion of the RFID inlet 6 is formed in the tag main body 21 until it reaches the back surfaces of the upper paper 23 and the back paper 24, and the display unit 25 is connected to the tag main body 21 by the perimeter of the perforation 26. It is partitioned and formed into a small size (size). In the present embodiment, the IC chip 4 is disposed at a substantially central part in the width direction W of the tag main body 21, but the display unit 25 partitioned by the perforation 26 is located slightly shifted from the central part. Therefore, the IC chip 4 is formed at a position shifted to the left side in the width direction W of the display unit 25 (left side in FIG. 3). In addition, the antenna 5 of the RFID inlet 6 has a slit formed by a perforation 26 in a state where a part in the thickness direction T is left.
The desired information is written on the IC chip 4 of the RFID inlet 6 by a printer (not shown), and one leaf is formed at the perforation 22 from the RFID tag continuous body 20 on which the desired printing is performed on the upper paper 23 of the display unit 25. When the display unit 25 is separated while the antenna body of the RFID inlet 6 is folded along the perforation 26, the display unit 25 as a “small tag” is obtained. A hole 25 is drilled as necessary and displayed on the product through attachment means such as a thread.
Since the created display unit 25 as a “small tag” includes the RFID inlet 6 including the IC chip 4 and the antenna 5, it can be read by a tag reader / writer as in Patent Document 1, for example. is there.
About another structure, an effect | action, and an effect, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted since it is the same as that of previous embodiment.

    It should be noted that the configuration and operation of the above-described embodiment are examples, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, the RFID tag continuum 20 as the “information recording carrier” has been described with the example in which the perforation 22 is formed and the RFID tag main bodies 21 and 21 are adjacent to each other through the perforation 22, but is not limited thereto. Needless to say, the one without the perforation 22 may be used. In the case of an “information record carrier” having no perforation 22, the RFID tag main body 21 as a “record carrier main body” of one leaf is obtained by attaching an external cutter device to a printer (not shown), for example, and cutting it. It is obtained.
