A read-write processing apparatus communicates with an RFID tag provided with a semiconductor memory to exchange commands and responses through antenna coils. A condition under which only a carrier wave is transmitted is set prior to a communication with the RFID tag and a level from a reception signal obtained under this condition is extracted as noise level. The extracted noise level is displayed or outputted to an output host apparatus.

Read-write processing apparatus and method for RFID tag

A two-dimensional code reader repeats a cycle of ordinary code-reading processes such as taking an image of an optical data code, extracting a two-dimensional code from the image and decoding optical data of the two-dimensional code in the image. A specified evaluation value for the optical data code is obtained from the results of processes carried out prior to the decoding step and stored if the decoding is done successfully. Data which show the changes in the evaluation value with time are displayed. The evaluation value may be compared with a specified warning level and a warning output is made, depending on the result of the comparison.
