Abstract
An operator is enabled to perform an installation test efficiently. A reader device includes an ID determining unit that specifies an ID code of an RFID tag which is an interaction partner when an interaction with the RFID tag succeeds and an output control unit that causes an LED to emit light in different colors when the ID code is the same as an ID code determined in a previous interaction or an ID code stored in advance in a storage unit and when the ID code is different from the ID code determined in a previous interaction or the ID code stored in advance in the storage unit.
Claims19
A reader device comprising:
- an interaction unit configured to perform an interaction with an radio frequency identification (RFID) tag at predetermined time intervals using RFID technology;
- an output unit;
- an identification determining unit configured to determine an identification of the RFID tag which is an interaction partner when the interaction succeeds;
- and
- an output control unit configured to cause the output unit to perform different outputs when the identification determined by the identification determining unit is the same as a predetermined identification previously determined by the identification determining unit and when the identification determined by the identification determining unit is different from the predetermined identification.
A control method of a reader device including an interaction unit configured to perform an interaction with an radio frequency identification (RFID) tag at predetermined time intervals using RFID technology and an output unit, the control method comprising:
- an identification determining step of determining an identification of the RFID tag which is an interaction partner when the interaction succeeds;
- and
- an output control step of causing the output unit to perform different outputs when the identification determined in the identification determining step is the same as a predetermined identification previously determined by the identification determining step and when the identification determined in the identification determining step is different from the predetermined identification.
