Description

  The present invention relates to a recording medium including an antenna and an IC chip, and formed with an RFID sheet that communicates data without contact, and a print sheet having a print surface.

  In recent years, a non-contact read / write IC (hereinafter referred to as “RFID”) has been developed that includes an antenna and an IC chip and performs electrical read / write without contact with the IC chip.

  RFID is superior in security because it can record a large amount of information on an IC chip smaller than a printing area such as a barcode, and can communicate information wirelessly in a non-contact manner and is difficult to counterfeit.

  However, since the content stored in the IC chip cannot be read by human vision or a conventional barcode reader, it is being used as an RFID label in which RFID is integrally formed with a label or the like. The form of use in which a part is printed with characters and recognized by human vision, or barcodes and OCRs can be read by an optical reader or the like is expanding.

However, some RFIDs are vulnerable to static electricity or impact, and some IC chips are damaged after the RFID is attached to an article, so that information stored in the IC chip cannot be read or written.
For this reason, there is a problem that it is limited to the usage form of RFID.
In addition, when the RFID label is attached to the inside of the article, such as when it is attached to the inside of the article and communicates with the RFID from the outside of the article, or the article with the RFID label attached is placed in the packaging box and packed. When communicating with RFID from the outside of the box, there is a problem that the RFID label in which the RFID and the label are integrally formed cannot be used.

As described above, when the RFID label is affixed to the surface of the article, if the RFID and the printing surface are integrally formed, even if the RFID breaks down, the printed characters and barcode two-dimensional code on the printing surface are read. The basic information can be recalled, but when the RFID label mentioned above is attached to a part that cannot be seen from the outside, or when an article with the RFID label attached is put in a packing box, the RFID If the device fails, the communication cannot be performed, and the RFID and the print surface are integrally formed. Therefore, the IC chip information cannot be read by other methods, and the print itself cannot be recognized. There is.
