<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an RFID reader device which can set a limited communication area appropriate to a site where it is used and efficiently stores only necessary ID information on an RFID tag. <P>SOLUTION: The RFID reader device compares the received power corresponding to the power of a response signal received from the RFID tag with the pre-set reference power value, and determines whether the RFID tag is located within a prescribed area or not. Then, if it determines that the RFID tag is located within the prescribed area, it stores ID information obtained by an ID information obtaining section. If it determines that the RFID tag is located out of the prescribed area, the ID information is not stored. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
