A door handle device for a vehicle includes: a handle member attached to a door to be handled by a user, the handle member having a front cover, and a back cover; and a handling detection sensor for detecting the handling of the handle member, wherein the back cover includes: a pair of movement-restricted portions arranged at both ends of the back cover, wherein relative movement of the pair of movement-restricted portions to the front cover is restricted; and a flexible portion arranged between the pair of movement-restricted portions, the flexible portion being bendable according to the handling; and wherein the handling detection sensor detects the bending of the flexible portion.

Door handle device for vehicle

A technique of preventing occurrence of interference even when a plurality of RFID antennas are used simultaneously. Each RFID antenna is attached with a calibration RFID tag. A combination of RFID antennas that causes a problem is acquired based on whether information held by the calibration RFID tag can be read from each of the RFID antennas that have performed reading simultaneously. Then, an RFID antenna use procedure is generated such that the RFID antennas in the acquired combination are not used simultaneously. Each RFID antenna is operated according to the generated use procedure.

Control method, control system, RFID antenna and connection investigation method

It is desirable to make the antenna wiring more efficient in the building of an RFID system. The system includes antennas and readers connected in an arbitrary manner, in which calibration tags are installed on all the antennas. By reading the calibration tags, the system automatically generates the correspondences between the access paths and antenna logical names of the antennas, to serve as antenna configuration information. While the user generates combinations of the antenna logical names of the one or more antennas to be simultaneously driven, to serve as derive sequence information. The system compares the automatically generated antenna configuration information with the user-generated driving sequence information, and if there is an inconsistency in the setting of the both, generates an antenna rewiring procedure so as to resolve the inconsistency. The antenna rewiring procedure is generated as a combination of the substitution operation of the antenna wiring.
