Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide various guide and leading information by using a small- sized portable receiver by installing a noncontact IC card in a place where information provision is necessary. SOLUTION: The IC card 8 sends data of an IC with the working electric power obtained by electromagnetic induction actuated at an antenna 1 and an actuation coil by the electromagnetic field of a portable card reader. The portable card reader receives transmission by the noncontact IC card by its antenna apart when approaching the card at a distance of tens of cm to several m, amplifies the data received by its reception part 3, and outputs information on a sound, characters, vibration, etc. The operation distance of the noncontact IC card is set by changing the antenna 9 and actuation coil. A user selects and obtains the information according to conditions and states. The noncontact card has a durable, vibration-proof, and strong case and eliminates the need for wire of a power source and a battery and is a fitted type or embedded type as an individual unit.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional technology, since a satellite is used, it is limited to a wide area road or a place where outdoor radio waves can reach, or it needs to be used in combination with map data. For example, devices that are more suitable for guiding vehicles and ships than human movements and devices that are incorporated in assistive canes for the visually impaired are limited in response to magnets pushed on the floor and sidewalks. Information only, and the information transmitter
Since it does not have a function of storing and transmitting information data, such as a chip, it cannot provide information unique to each location or information having a large amount of data, and has a drawback that information cannot be easily rewritten by data transmission / reception. . In addition, those that use complicated transmitters require time and effort for installation and maintenance, such as the need for power supply wiring and battery replacement.
There was a problem with economics.

3. For the use example described in the above, guide information is input in Japanese, English, Chinese or the like, and not only voice information but also a character and image display unit incorporated in a portable card reader are used. By providing information, it also has a function as a guide system. Contactless IC cards only transmit information when a portable card reader approaches a range of several meters, and provide only necessary and accurate information to each point, which may cause confusion for the carrier. Absent. Also, basically no power supply or battery is required,
After installation, it is maintenance-free, and only a portable card reader with an information input function can input and rewrite information, preventing mischief and accidents such as rewriting information by ordinary people, and When necessary, information can be easily input and rewritten. By installing this non-contact type IC card in the required place as an information transmitter, and conversely, a person can carry a card reader as an information transmission unit and move, so that it can be devised as a new guidance system. became.
