IC tag, IC tag system, and data communicating method for the IC tag
According to an embodiment of the invention, an IC tag for receiving a command data including a first command data not requiring the IC tag to send back response data and a second command data requiring the IC tag to send back the response data using a radio signal, including: a control circuit generating a confirmation signal indicating a reception condition of first command data; and a transmitter transmitting the confirmation signal.
1 . An IC tag for receiving a command data including a first command data not requiring the IC tag to send back response data and a second command data requiring the IC tag to send back the response data using a radio signal, comprising:
a control circuit generating a confirmation signal indicating a reception condition of first command data; and
a transmitter transmitting the confirmation signal.
2 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein if receiving the second command data, the IC tag does not transmit the confirmation signal.
3 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuit comprising an ACK control circuit notifying the transmitter of the reception condition of the first command data.
4 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the IC tag receives the first command data and the second command data to execute commands based on the first command data and the second command data to complete transmission of the response data.
5 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the confirmation signal and the transmission of the response data are carried out based on a flag indicating a state of the IC tag and incorporated in the IC tag.
6 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the confirmation signal is transmitted if a command analyzer incorporated in the control circuit confirms that an error does not occur in command data.
7 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the confirmation signal is transmitted during a period from completion of confirming whether or not the error occurs until the IC tag starts executing a command of the first command data.
8 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the confirmation signal is transmitted during a period in which the IC tag executes a command of the first command data after completion of confirming whether or not the error occurs.
9 . The IC tag according to claim 1 , wherein the confirmation signal is transmitted after the confirmation about whether or not the error occurs is completed, the IC tag executes a command of the first command data, and it is determined that the first command data is correctly executed.
10 . An IC tag system, comprising:
a reader/writer transmitting command data; and
an IC tag receiving the command data from the reader/writer,
the command data including first command data not requiring the IC tag to send response data back to the reader/writer and second command data requiring the IC tag to send the response data back to the reader/writer, and
the IC tag notifying the reader/writer that the first command data is received if receiving the first command data from the reader/writer.
11 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein if receiving the second command data, the IC tag does not notify the reader/writer of a reception condition.
12 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein the IC tag comprising:
an ACK control circuit notifying a transmitter of a reception condition of the first command data.
13 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein the IC tag receives the first command data and the second command data to execute commands based on the first command data and the second command data to complete transmission of the response data.
14 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein a notification that the first command data is received and the response data are sent based on a flag indicating a state of the IC tag and incorporated in the IC tag.
15 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein a notification that the first command data is received is sent if a command analyzer incorporated in the IC tag confirms that an error does not occur in command data.
16 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein a notification that the first command data is received is sent during a period from completion of confirming whether or not the error occurs until the IC tag starts executing a command of the first command data.
17 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein a notification that the first command data is received is sent during a period in which the IC tag executes a command of the first command data after completion of confirming whether or not the error occurs.
18 . The IC tag system according to claim 10 , wherein a notification that the first command data is received is sent after the confirmation about whether or not the error occurs is completed, the IC tag executes a command of the first command data, and it is determined that the first command data is correctly executed.
19 . A data communicating method for an IC tag that receives a command data including a first command data not requiring the IC tag to send back response data and a second command data requiring the IC tag to send back the response data using a radio signal, comprising:
receiving the first command,
analyzing a reception condition of the first command data, and
transmitting the confirmation signal based on the reception condition.
