An apparatus for communicating with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with a feeding device configured to feed a tag medium; an antenna for label production and an antenna for information acquisition that can respectively transmit or receive information to a RFID circuit element for label production or for information acquisition; an antenna switching control portion configured to switch so as to selectively transmit an inquiry signal to the RFID circuit element for label production or for information acquisition; and a mode processing portion configured to carry out processing corresponding to a communication processing mode or an information acquisition processing mode.

Apparatus for communicating with RFID tag

The apparatus has an antenna provided with a predetermined directivity for carrying out radio communication with a RFID tag provided at a search target, a transparent display device that can impart a field of view including a natural image of the search target to vision of an operator and is held by the face of the operator, and a control circuit configured to get communication region information corresponding to a communication region generated along the directivity from the antenna, to generate a display signal for visualization display of the communication region in the field of view of the display device on the basis of the gotten communication region information and to output the signal to the display device.

Apparatus for searching RFID tag

This disclosure discloses a RFID-tag structure body comprising an affixed portion to be affixed onto an affixed face; a self-supporting portion self-supported with respect to the affixed face; at least one RFID circuit element having an IC circuit part provided at the self-supporting portion and configured to store information, and a tag antenna connected to the IC circuit part; and a stereo-structure preparation portion configured to realize a three-dimensional structure when being affixed onto the affixed face.

RFID-tag structure body, RFID label, and apparatus for producing RFID labels

There are provided a cartridge to which a first roll around which a base tape with a plurality of RFID circuit elements arranged is wound can be detachably attached, an antenna for transmission/reception of information with the RFID circuit element, a signal processing circuit and a transmitting portion that generate access information to an IC circuit part of the RFID circuit element, transmit the information to the RFID circuit element and carry out information writing in the IC circuit part or information reading from the IC circuit part, a print head for printing on a cover film, and a control circuit provided with a determination portion that determines matching between parameter data provided at the cartridge and instruction data relating to the print input by an operation portion.

Apparatus for producing RFID label and editing apparatus for label

An apparatus for producing RFID labels includes a feeding roller drive shaft configured to feed a base tape provided with a plurality of types of RFID circuit elements having an IC circuit part storing information and a tag antenna and corresponding to each of a plurality of types of communication frequency, and an antenna configured to perform information transmission and reception using the plurality of types of communication frequencies with respect to the plurality of types of the RFID circuit elements of a tag label tape with print being fed, and when a RFID label production command for producing a RFID label is input from an operation terminal, a central control part control in coordination so that the plurality of types of RFID labels using the plurality of types of RFID circuit elements, respectively, corresponding to the command is produced in a lump sum.

Apparatus for producing RFID labels, cartridge for including at least a RFID tag, and RFID label manufacturing system

An image forming device for forming images based on a file configured of a first data area for storing raster data and a header for storing vector data. The image forming device includes a raster data image displaying function for forming images on a display screen based on the raster data; and a vector data displaying function for forming images on the display screen based on the vector data. With this construction, the image forming device can easily manipulate both vector data and raster data by combining both types of data in one file. The image forming device can rapidly combine both types of data in one image by using vector data in parts requiring high image quality and raster data in parts requiring high-speed drawing.
