An authentication registration/invalidation apparatus is provided, which allows easy invalidation of an authentication tag when the authentication tag is lost, and facilitates management of authentication tags. When an RFID reader (2) receives an RFID signal including an instruction of invalidation, which is transmitted from an operation tag (10b) in a recognition area (A), an invalidation unit (32b) sets an operation mode to an invalidation enabled mode. If an RFID tag recognizer (31a) recognizes an authentication tag (10a) before or after the setting of the invalidation enabled mode, the invalidation unit 32b invalidates the authentication tag (10a), or invalidates all authentication tags (10a) that belong to a group to which the authentication tag belongs. |

1. An authentication registration/invalidation apparatus which, using RFID tags including an authentication tag and an operation tag, performs authentication registration or authentication invalidation on the authentication tag by means of the operation tag, the apparatus comprising:
an operation mode storage unit configured to store an operation mode that is set to a registration enabled mode or an invalidation enabled mode; an RFID reader associated with a recognition area, and configured to receive signals transmitted from one or more RFID tags located in the recognition area; an RFID tag recognizer configured to recognize the one or more RFID tags located in the recognition area, based on the signals received by the RFID reader; a registration unit configured to operate such that
when the RFID reader receives an RFID signal including a registration instruction, which is transmitted from an operation tag located in the recognition area, and then if the operation mode is not set to the registration enabled mode, the registration unit sets the operation mode to the registration enabled mode, andwhile the operation mode is the registration enabled mode after the setting of the registration enabled mode, when the RFID tag recognizer recognizes at least one first authentication tag, the registration unit regards the at least one first authentication tag as an operation target so as to make the at least one first authentication tag belong to a certain group by registering the at least one first authentication tag; and an invalidation unit configured to operate such that
when the RFID reader receives an RFID signal including an invalidation instruction, which is transmitted from the operation tag located in the recognition area, and then if the operation mode is not set to the invalidation enabled mode, the invalidation unit sets the operation mode to the invalidation enabled mode, andbefore or at the time of the setting of the invalidation enabled mode, or after the setting of the invalidation enabled mode and while the operation mode is the invalidation enabled mode, if the RFID tag recognizer recognizes at least one second authentication tag, the invalidation unit invalidates the at least one second authentication tag or invalidates all authentication tags that belong to a group to which the at least one second authentication tag belongs. |
