Abstract
A monitoring method includes acquiring tag identification information unique to a radio frequency identification tag carried by a person, and reader identification information about a tag reader that detects the radio frequency identification tag. Next, attribute information about the person is acquired based on the tag identification information, and area information about a detection area of the tag reader is acquired based on the reader identification information. Finally, it is determined whether the person carrying the radio frequency identification tag having the attribute information acquired is allowed to enter into the detection area based on the area information.
