Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an IC tag. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, techniques relating to IC tags have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-177662 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] To easily perform short-distance wireless communication with an external reader by reducing the influence of a metal casing of a communication device, such as a smartphone, even when the device is placed between the communication device and a case that covers the communication device. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The IC tag of this invention is a square flat plate with arc-shaped corners at the four corners, with a width-to-length ratio of 3:2, and an anti-metal sheet on the back. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to the IC tag of the present invention, even when it is placed between a communication device such as a smartphone and a case covering the communication device, the influence of the metal casing of the communication device is reduced, and short-range wireless communication with an external reading device can be easily performed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of the IC tag. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a rear view of the IC tag. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a left side view of the IC tag. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the IC tag. [Figure 5] This is reference diagram 1 of the IC tag. [Figure 6] This is reference diagram 2 of the IC tag. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] FIG. 1 is a front view of the IC Tag 1. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the IC Tag 1. FIG. 3 is a left side view of the IC Tag 1. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the IC Tag 1. FIG. 5 is Reference Figure 1 of the IC Tag 1. FIG. 6 is Reference Figure 2 of the IC Tag 1. The right side view of the IC Tag 1 is omitted as it is bilaterally symmetrical with the left side view. The bottom view of the IC Tag 1 is omitted as it is vertically symmetrical with the plan view.
[0009] The IC tag 1 is a rectangular flat plate with a width of 60 mm and a length of 40 mm (the ratio of width to length is 3:2). The IC tag 1 has rounded corners 11 formed in an arc shape with approximately the same radius at each of its four corners. The IC tag 1 has a logo section 21 on its front face 2. The logo section 21 has a first logo section 211 resembling the European letter "M" and located approximately in the center of the front face 2, and a second logo section 212 with the letters "MEET" (registered trademark) located below the first logo section 211.
[0010] The IC tag 1 has an anti-metal sheet on the back surface 3. Therefore, even if the IC tag 1 is placed between a communication device such as a smartphone and a case that covers the communication device, it can easily perform short-range wireless communication with an external reader while reducing the influence of the metal casing of the communication device.
[0011] The width of the IC tag 1 is smaller than the width (approximately 70 mm) of a typical smartphone 4, and it can be placed on the back of the smartphone 4 (reference diagram 1 in FIG. 5). In addition, the length of the IC tag 1 is smaller than the length (short width) of a card such as a credit card, and it can be stored in the pocket 51 of the card case 5 (reference diagram 2 in FIG. 6).
Claims
