MEDIUM PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18416339 titled 'MEDIUM PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

The patent application describes a medium processing device with a conveying mechanism, an RFID device, and a processor. The processor controls the RFID device to write on first and second RFID tags of a medium as it moves along a conveyance path, and then reads the tags after further conveyance.

The device performs a write process on RFID tags of a medium as it moves along a conveyance path, followed by a read process.
The RFID device communicates with the tags via an antenna, adjusting the communication range during write and read processes.
The first communication range is set during the write process, while a wider second communication range is set during the read process.

Potential Applications: - Logistics and supply chain management - Inventory tracking and management - Document authentication and security

Problems Solved: - Efficient writing and reading of RFID tags on moving mediums - Streamlining processes in industries that rely on RFID technology

Benefits: - Improved accuracy and speed in data processing - Enhanced security and traceability of items - Increased efficiency in operations

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced RFID Medium Processing Device for Streamlined Operations This technology can be utilized in industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and retail for efficient tracking and management of goods. It can also find applications in document management systems for secure authentication and tracking.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the RFID device adjust the communication range during the write and read processes? 2. What are the key advantages of using RFID technology in medium processing devices?

Original Abstract Submitted

A medium processing device includes a conveying mechanism, an RFID device, and a processor. The processor controls the RFID device to perform a write process on first and second RFID tags of at least one medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism when the first and second RFID tags are moved to a write position along a conveyance path of the at least one medium, and a read process on the first and second RFID tags after the at least one medium is further conveyed along the conveyance path of the at least one medium by the conveying mechanism. The RFID device includes an antenna by which the RFID device communicates with the RFID tags and is configured to set a communication range of the antenna to a first communication range during the write process and to a second communication range wider than the first communication range during the read process.
