In above action, signal processing circuit 22 constitutes the visit information generation units, generates the visit information that is used for the wireless tag information to IC circuit part 151 and conducts interviews (" Scroll AllID " signal, " Erase " signal, " Verify " signal, " Program " signal, and following " Ping " signal etc.).And the sending part 32 configuration information transmitting elements of high-frequency circuit 21 will send to the label-side antenna non-contactly via the device side antenna by the visit information that the visit information generation unit generates, and carry out the visit to the wireless tag information of IC circuit part.

And control circuit 30 constitutes sending controling unit, and control is from the send mode of information transmitting unit, with consistent with the tag attributes parameter or the messaging parameter of rfid circuit element.

In the RFID tag information communicating device 2 of the present embodiment that as above constitutes, the visit information that generates in the signal processing circuit 22 sends to rfid circuit element T by antenna 14 ₀ Antenna 152, and carry out visit (read or write) to IC circuit part 151.At this moment, in the detected portion 190 of box 100, form communication/tag attributes parameter information (in other words will communicate by letter/tag attributes parameter information be saved in the detected portion 190) of identifier 190A～D.And this information is detected by sensor 19, and the control circuit 30 of RFID tag information communicating device 2 is controlled send mode in view of the above, with the rfid circuit element T of this box 100 ₀Tag attributes parameter or messaging parameter unanimity.

So, in a RFID tag information communicating device 2, even rfid circuit element T ₀The mutually different a plurality of boxes 100 of tag attributes parameter, messaging parameter suitably change under the situation about using in box cradle portion loading and unloading, also can utilize rfid circuit element T with each box 100 ₀Corresponding optimal parameter is carried out information communication rapidly and easily.That is, no matter the kind of box 100 (in other words is the rfid circuit element T of communication object ₀Kind) how, all can be rapidly and easily be set at communicable state.Consequently, can guarantee the rfid circuit element T in the box 100 ₀Action successfully conducts interviews.

And in the above-described first embodiment, as the device side storage unit, utilize the flow process of Figure 16, and as mentioned above, to store into according to communication/tag attributes parameter information that the detection signal of sensor 20 is obtained among the RAM in the control circuit 30 etc., but be not limited thereto, also can store in the non-volatile memory cells that constitutes by the nonvolatile memory that (control circuit 30 is interior or outer) is set separately (so-called EEPROM etc.).

In this case, even deenergization also can be preserved memory contents, therefore as mentioned above, also can when power connection, read the communication/tag attributes parameter information of temporary transient storage.

Figure 19 is the control flow of " tag class judgement " step that is equivalent to the step S1 of corresponding with this variation Figure 15 that is undertaken by control circuit 30, is the figure that is equivalent to above-mentioned Figure 16.

In Figure 19, as mentioned above,, promptly begin this flow process when power supply becomes when connecting from off-state.At first, in step S16, read the messaging parameter of having stored from above-mentioned non-volatile memory cells.Advance to step S17 afterwards, from above-mentioned non-volatile memory cells, read the tag attributes parameter of having stored equally, and process ends.

With above-mentioned the same, utilize these messaging parameter that reads/tag attributes parameters afterwards,, carry out reading or writing of wireless tag information according to the flow process of Figure 17 or Figure 18.

With reference to Figure 20～Figure 27 second embodiment of the present invention is described.This embodiment is the same with above-mentioned first embodiment, is the embodiment when the present invention is applicable to the generation system of wireless identification tag, as above-mentioned first embodiment, is that operation parameter information detects with sensor and by to rfid circuit element T ₀Radio communication obtain the embodiment of above-mentioned parameter information.To being marked with same label, and suitably omit its explanation with the identical part of above-mentioned first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, as mentioned above and the obvious difference of above-mentioned first embodiment be, in " the tag class determining step " of before step S1 shown in Figure 15, obtain communication/tag attributes parameter by non-contacting radio communication.

Figure 20 is expression as the process flow diagram of the detailed step of above-mentioned steps S1 (tag class determining step) pith of present embodiment, that implemented by control circuit 30.

In the present embodiment, in view of above-mentioned messaging parameter (access frequency of the electric wave that uses in the radio communication, communication protocol etc.) and tag attributes parameter (rfid circuit element T ₀Antenna 152 sensitivity, IC circuit part 151 memory span, paste elements T ₀With 101 wide, with the elements T on 101 ₀Configuration space etc.) if in constitute the access frequency of messaging parameter and communication protocol difference then do not communicate fully, therefore be conceived to the mode of these two unanimities be controlled with bottom line.

And in the present embodiment, prepare the type of a plurality of communication protocols and the pattern of access frequency (in this embodiment for protocol number P1～P5, frequency mode F1～F5 each five) in advance, (the rfid circuit element T in other words of search box 100 in this scope ₀) be which kind of classification, and detection/judicious messaging parameter.

At first, in step S21, establish above-mentioned communication protocol number P=1, above-mentioned access frequency number F=1 as initial value.

Then, at first in step S22, the value of " TX_PWR " signal is set at relatively large predetermined value, should " TX_PWR " signal, to determining that the magnification from the variable transmit amplifier 39 (with reference to Fig. 4) of the output valve of the transmission signal of sending part 32 determines.This is because comprise that box 100 inside are (even from a plurality of or a large amount of rfid circuit element T ₀When response is arranged) should try one's best obtains response signal arbitrarily effectively, (in other words, can need not to determine rfid circuit element T thereby can detect messaging parameter ₀And obtain T from uncertain a plurality of or a large amount of rfid circuit elements ₀Response signal).

And in step S23, urgency is positioned at the rfid circuit element T of communication range ₀" Ping " order of replying outputs to signal processing circuit 22.In signal processing circuit 22, generate " TX_ASK " signal, and output to transmission mlultiplying circuit 38, in sending mlultiplying circuit 38, carry out corresponding above-mentioned Modulation and Amplitude Modulation, become " Ping " signal as visit information based on this.Be somebody's turn to do " Ping " signal, further by above-mentioned transmit amplifier 39, to carry out the signal amplification based on magnification (" TX_PWR " be bigger value as mentioned above) from above-mentioned " TX_PWR " signal of control circuit 30 input, and send via sending and receiving separator 34 and antenna 14, if in addressable scope, there is the rfid circuit element T that can understand this order ₀, then urge its answer.

Then, in step S24, if there is the rfid circuit element T of addressable scope ₀,, receive from this rfid circuit element T via antenna 14 then corresponding to above-mentioned " Scroll All ID " signal ₀The answer signal of the signal in response that sends wireless tag informations such as () Item Information, and be taken into via acceptance division 33 and signal processing circuit 22.

Then, in step S25, judge whether to have obtained at least one correct ID by the above-mentioned CRC coding of the answer signal that in above-mentioned steps S24, receives.

Rfid circuit element T in the communication protocol (protocol number P=1) of this moment and access frequency (frequency number F=1) and the box 100 ₀Communication protocol and frequency when inconsistent, can't obtain answer signal, therefore do not satisfy this judgement, advance to step S26.

In step S26, appropriate change frequency number F and protocol number P, and turn back to step S23 once again and repeat same step through step S27.For example, the frequency number keeps F=1, and protocol number P adds one one by one, carrying out retry at increase protocol number till P=5 also can't obtain under the situation of good answer signal, turn back to protocol number P=1, and this time frequency number F being added 1 becomes 2, same under the state of F=2, repetition P=1 → 2 → ... → 5.

As mentioned above, in any one in 25 combinations of P=1～5, F=1～5, with the rfid circuit element T of box 100 ₀Communication protocol and access frequency when consistent, can obtain good answer signal, therefore this time inscribe the judgement of satisfying step S25, advance to step S32.

And,, advance to step S31 if examination in the time of all can't obtaining good answer signal, is satisfied the judgement of step S27 all over all F and P (in above-mentioned example for F, P=1～5 25 kinds).In step S31, be considered as in the box 100 without any rfid circuit element T ₀, or be considered as beyond the applicable scope of the RFID tag information communicating device 2 scope, present embodiment of setting communication protocols and access frequency by above-mentioned 25 kinds, wrong shows signal is outputed to above-mentioned terminal 5 or conventional computer 6 via telecommunication circuit 31 and communication line 3, carrying out the corresponding failure (mistake) of reading shows, advance to above-mentioned steps S2 (perhaps this time inscribe the visit that also can stop to wireless tag information, and the finishing control flow process).

In step S32, step S12 and the S13 of Figure 16 before are the same, according to the response signal that in above-mentioned steps S24, receives (answer signal), the processing of being scheduled to (comprising computing, analysis, extraction etc. as required), thus obtaining and replying the rfid circuit element T of this response signal ₀Behind corresponding (in other words corresponding) messaging parameter (frequency of employed electric wave and communication protocol etc. in the radio communication), this messaging parameter is stored in the RAM at step S33 and (perhaps to store above-mentioned terminal 5 or conventional computer 6 into, further to store in routing server 4 or the information server 7) via telecommunication circuit 31 and communication line 3 with box 100.

Then, finish obtaining of messaging parameter as mentioned above,, therefore in step S34, the value of above-mentioned " TX_PWR " signal is returned (setting again) and be less relatively (communicating required Min.) predetermined value with target labels owing to no longer need above-mentioned action.

Advance to step S35 afterwards, determine to return the rfid circuit element T of above-mentioned answer signal ₀, above-mentioned same " Scroll ID " order is outputed to signal processing circuit 22.Pass through " Scroll ID " signal that signal processing circuit 22 generates as visit information in view of the above, and send to the corresponding rfid circuit element T of access object via high-frequency circuit 21 ₀, urge and replying.

In the present embodiment that as above constitutes, can obtain and the same effect of above-mentioned first embodiment.Promptly, after the visit information that generates, also sends through antenna 14 by signal processing circuit 22 sends, the answer signal of replying from IC circuit part 151 is received by acceptance division 33, according to this answer signal, obtain communications parameter information and tag attributes parameter information, control circuit 30 is controlled send mode in view of the above, with consistent with tag attributes parameter or messaging parameter from sending part 32.So, the same with above-mentioned first embodiment, even the rfid circuit element T that is had ₀The relevant mutually different a plurality of boxes 100 of tag attributes parameter, messaging parameter are suitably changed under the situation about using in the loading and unloading of box cradle portion, also can utilize the rfid circuit element T with each box 100 ₀Corresponding optimal parameter is carried out information communication rapidly and easily.That is, no matter the kind of box 100 (in other words is the rfid circuit element T of communication object ₀Kind) how, all can be rapidly and easily be set at communicable state.Consequently, can guarantee the rfid circuit element T in the box 100 ₀Action successfully conducts interviews.

And, in second embodiment of the invention described above, in the scope that does not break away from purport of the present invention and technological thought, can further carry out various distortion.Below this variation is described.

Inquiry once more when (1) visit is failed

That is, obtaining messaging parameter and tag attributes parameter as mentioned above and will begin all rfid circuit element T with box 100 ₀Under the situation of communication, when the visit failure, because the parameter information of obtaining originally might be wrong, therefore once again to rfid circuit element T ₀The inquiry that one side is used to confirm.

Figure 23 is the process flow diagram that expression constitutes label information read step this variation pith, that control circuit 30 is implemented, is the figure that is equivalent to the Figure 21 in above-mentioned second embodiment.

In flow process shown in Figure 23, be provided with the step S170 that step S170A substitutes Figure 17.That is, in step S160, during variable N=5 that the number of retries when suspect existing communication bad is counted when failure (carried out five communication experiments but), advance to step S170A, carry out judgment processing again.

Figure 24 represents this process flow diagram of the detailed step of judgment processing again.

The tag class judgment processing steps of the controlled step of Figure 24 and above-mentioned Figure 20 are comparatively similar.That is, at first among the newly-installed step S21A, read in communication protocol number P, access frequency number F that storage is preserved in device side storage unit such as RAM at alternative steps S21.

Afterwards, step S22～step S32 is identical with Figure 20.That is, the value of " TX_PWR " signal is set at relatively large predetermined value, " Ping " order is outputed to signal processing circuit 22, urge the rfid circuit element T that is positioned at addressable scope ₀Answer, be taken into the answer signal of reception, judged whether to obtain at least a correct ID.In the time can't obtaining good answer signal, appropriate change frequency number F and protocol number P turn back to step S23 once again in step S26, repeat same step.After attempting all F and P (in above-mentioned example 25 of F, P=1～5 kinds) in the time of also can't obtaining good answer signal, output error shows signal, the demonstration of reading failure (mistake).The rfid circuit element T of any one in the combination of P, F and box 100 ₀Communication protocol and access frequency when consistent, satisfy the judgement of step S25, the same with Figure 20, in step S32, obtained and returned the rfid circuit element T of this response signal according to the response signal (answer signal) of this reception ₀Corresponding messaging parameter.

Afterwards, at alternative steps S33 and among the newly-installed step S33A, this communications parameter information that obtains is stored in the RAM into (perhaps store above-mentioned terminal 5 or normal computing machine 6 into, further store in routing server 4 or the information server 7) via telecommunication circuit 31 and communication line 3, cover to upgrade and handle (irrelevant with memory contents so far) even identical value also will be upgraded.

Afterwards, step S34～step S37 is the same with Figure 20, and the value of " TX_PWR " signal is returned to required minimal predetermined value, has determined to return the rfid circuit element T of above-mentioned answer signal ₀, " Scroll All ID " order is outputed to signal processing circuit 22, and urges the rfid circuit element T of access object ₀Answer, be taken into rfid circuit element T from correspondence ₀The answer signal that sends, and obtained and returned the rfid circuit element T of this answer signal ₀Corresponding tag attributes parameter.

Afterwards, at alternative steps S38 and among the newly-installed step S38A, this attribute parameter information that obtains is stored in the RAM into (perhaps store above-mentioned terminal 5 or normal computing machine 6 into, further store in routing server 4 or the information server 7) via telecommunication circuit 31 and communication line 3, cover to upgrade to handle and (have nothing to do with memory contents so far, even identical value also will be upgraded), and finish this flow process, transfer to the step S180 of above-mentioned Figure 23.

In the above content, the step S140 of flow process shown in Figure 23, step S150, step S160 are equivalent to the described judging unit of each technical scheme, after information transmitting unit executes visit with the send mode based on the control of sending controling unit, judge whether success of the visit of IC circuit part; Step S170A is equivalent to confirm command sending unit again, when by this judgment unit judges visit failure, the affirmation command signal again that will be used for the tag attributes parameter or the messaging parameter of rfid circuit element are confirmed again, send to the label-side antenna non-contactly via the device side antenna.

And, in step S24 and step S25, receive and identify from rfid circuit element T ₀Communications parameter information and tag attributes parameter information be equivalent to Wucan and count information, acceptance division 33 configuration informations are receiving element again, will with according to confirming that again command signal counts information by tag attributes parameter or the relevant Wucan of messaging parameter that IC circuit part reads, receive by the device side antenna non-contactly via the label-side antenna, and read in.

Further, the step S33A of flow process shown in Figure 24 and step S38A are equivalent to the parameter information in the device side storage unit is updated to the renewal control module of Wucan number.

And, more than to an example of the label information visit of the above-mentioned steps S2 that carries out as control circuit 30, from rfid circuit element T ₀ IC circuit part 151 flow process that reads the step of wireless tag information carried out example, and in the wireless tag information as other examples of label information visit write, step that can certainly be same was carried out.

In this variation that as above constitutes, with based on the send mode of the control of control circuit 30, to rfid circuit element T ₀ IC circuit part 151 conduct interviews after, in step S140～step S160 of Figure 23, judge whether success of this visit.When being judged as the visit failure, in step S170A, send and confirm command signal again, receive and read in the messaging parameter/tag attributes parameter information that reads from IC circuit part 151 by acceptance division in view of the above.And control circuit 30 is in the step S33A and step S38A of Figure 24, and the memory contents regardless of in the device side storage unit such as RAM so far all is updated to this canned data the above-mentioned parameter information that reads in.So, though the tag attributes parameter that read originally, communications parameter information because of some reason when wrong (misreading), also recoverable is correct information when upgrading.

Particularly, this moment as mentioned above, in the step S23 of Figure 24, when the generation conduct is confirmed the Scroll All ID signal of command signal again and is sent, in step S21A, at first generate signal according to the messaging parameter of in device side storage unit such as RAM, storing so far (agreement P and frequency F).And, in step S26A,, further generate signal according to the messaging parameter different with it from the empirical value in this past.Because with reference to the empirical value in so far past, therefore at least and compare when making above-mentioned messaging parameter generate Scroll All ID signal at random, the probability that can finally obtain correct messaging parameter improves, and the time of acquisition is shifted to an earlier date.

(2) inquire about automatically during power connection

In the above-described 2nd embodiment, as illustrated in the step S32 of the flow process of Figure 20 and step S37, as the device side storage unit, communication/tag attributes parameter information of obtaining is stored among the RAM in the control circuit 30 etc., but be not limited thereto, also can store separately the non-volatile memory cells (so-called EEPROM etc.) that (in control circuit 30 or outside) is provided with into.

In this case, even, therefore as mentioned above, also can when power connection, read the information of the communication/tag attributes parameter of temporary transient storage because deenergization also can be preserved memory contents.

Figure 25 is the control flow that is equivalent to " tag class judgement " step of the step S1 of Figure 15 that is undertaken by control circuit 30 of this variation correspondence, is the figure that is equivalent to above-mentioned Figure 20.

In Figure 25, as mentioned above,, promptly begin this flow process when power supply becomes when connecting from off-state.The label of Figure 24 described in the controlled step of this flow process and above-mentioned (1) step of judgment processing again is comparatively similar.That is, at first among the newly-installed step S21B, as mentioned above, read and store communication protocol number P, the access frequency number F that is kept at non-volatile memory cells such as EEPROM at alternative steps S21A.

Afterwards, step S22～step S38A is the same with Figure 24, " TX_PWR " signal is received by the device side antenna non-contactly, and read in.

Further, the step S33A of flow process shown in Figure 25 and step S38A are equivalent to the parameter information in the device side storage unit is updated to the renewal control module of the 6th parameter.

In this variation, when power connection, sending part 32 sends the Ping signal of confirming command signal as initial, in view of the above from rfid circuit element T ₀Messaging parameter/tag attributes parameter information of reading of IC circuit part 151 receive and read in by acceptance division 33.And control circuit 30 is in the step S33A and step S38A of Figure 25, and the memory contents regardless of in the device side storage unit such as so far EEPROM or RAM all is updated to this canned data the above-mentioned parameter information that reads in.So, when power connection,, all can make the parameter information normalization (proofread and correct when mistake reads, confirm again during normal storage) in the device side storage unit effectively regardless of the memory contents of so far said apparatus side storage unit.

And, as mentioned above, in the step S23 of Figure 25, when the generation conduct is initially confirmed the Ping signal of command signal and is sent, in step S21B, at first generate signal according to the messaging parameter of in non-volatile apparatus side storage unit such as EEPROM, storing so far (agreement P and frequency F).And, in step S26A,, further generate signal according to the messaging parameter different with it from the empirical value in this past.Because with reference to the empirical value in so far past, therefore at least and compare when making above-mentioned messaging parameter generate the Ping signal at random, the probability that can finally obtain correct messaging parameter improves, and the time of acquisition is shifted to an earlier date.

And, also can be according to for example changing the kind judgement that the situation that makes the lid open-close that is provided with on the above-mentioned framework 9 is carried out label because of box 100.In this case, when detecting lid by above-mentioned lid open-close detection sensor 19 shown in Figure 2 and open and close, the flow process that begins above-mentioned Figure 25 gets final product.
