`ABSTRACT
`
`Although a product having such the IC chip has been diffused,
`information on the product may be capable of being per(cid:173)
`ceived, abstracted, falsified, or the like by a third person with
`his external device during distribution of the product or after
`purchase of the product. Further, privacy may be seriously
`infringed. Paper money, various products, and the like are
`disclosed according to the present invention with an inte(cid:173)
`grated circuit device having a switching memory for control(cid:173)
`ling reading and writing of information (lock/unlock of infor(cid:173)
`mation) in order to protect the information recorded and
`stored in the integrated circuit such as an IC chip installed to
`the product or the like.

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`The present invention relates to every product such as
`paper money, a coin, valuable instrument, certificates, a tag, a
`label, a card, packing containers, books, bearer bonds,
`vehicles, food items, garments, personal items, healthcare
`items, livingwares, medicals, a recording medium, or an elec(cid:173)
`tronic device, each of which can be distributed and installed
`with an integrated circuit having a memory or a microproces(cid:173)
`sor (central processing unit).
`2. Related Art
`In recent years, calls for enhancement of safety of products
`and improvement of a management system among an indus(cid:173)
`trial world such as food industry, manufacture industry, and
`financial industry are heightened. Accordingly, an amount of
`information regarding the product becomes increased. Main
`product information at present is information on country of
`manufacture, a manufacturer, a product number, and the like
`provided from numbers of ten several digits of a barcode. In
`the case of using a barcode, reading requires much time since
`reading of the barcode is performed manually one by one.
`Consequently, automatic recognition technique by a noncon(cid:173)
`tact IC tag utilizing an electromagnetic wave referred to as 30
`RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has attracted atten(cid:173)
`tion instead of using a barcode system.
`To secure the safety of animals and plants (for example,
`place of origin, the absence or presence of infectious disease,
`or the like), a system for obtaining and controlling informa- 35
`tion on the animals and plants has been diffused by reading
`information from an IC chip directly embedded in the body of
`the animals and plants with a reader device (reader) ofoutside
`the body.
`In recent years, the number of cards carried by one person 40
`has been increased. Especially, a noncontact IC card for com(cid:173)
`municating with use of an electromagnetic field has been
`diffused in an electronic ticket form or an electronic money
`form.
`To prevent reproduction or wrongful use of paper money,
`coins, valuable instruments, tickets, and the like due to coun(cid:173)
`terfeit or theft of them, technique of embedding an IC chip in
`each of them has been diffused. (See Non Patent Document 1)
`A communication principle of the conventional noncontact
`IC chip is explained with reference to FIG. 24. A product 50
`including a noncontact IC chip is held against an external
`device such as a reader/writer, and the noncontact IC chip
`receives an electromagnetic wave from the reader/writer,
`then, an electromotive force is generated by a resonance
`action, and then, the noncontact IC chip in an RFID tag starts
`operating. After the information in the chip is converted into
`signals, an antenna at the side of the noncontact IC chip
`transmits signals and an antenna of the reader/writer receives
`the sent signals. Then, the signals are sent to a data processing
`device such as a computer via a controller, and then, data
`processing such as identification is performed.
`[Non Patent Document 1]
`Nikkei Electronics, Nikkei Business Publications, pp. 67-76,
`Nov. 18, 2002.
`Although a product having such the IC chip has been
`diffused, information on the product may be capable of being
`perceived, abstracted, falsified, or the like by a third person
`
`2
`with his external device during the distribution of the product
`or after the purchase of the product. Further, it becomes
`increasingly serious when the product is thieved. There is
`possibility that information on the product is readily flowed
`5 and privacy is seriously infringed. In addition, there is also
`possibility that a counterfeit good, an imitation good, or
`wrongful use of products is increased due to the abstraction,
`the falsification, or the like of the flowed information.
`Especially in the case that IC chips are mounted on prod-
`IO ucts (regardless of movable property or immovable property)
`that enter almost distribution processes; human body; ani(cid:173)
`mals or plants; and the like in future, the foregoing problems
`become
`increasingly
`serious. Therefore,
`information
`15 installed to those IC chips is required to be protected.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present
`20 invention to provide paper money, a coin, valuable instru(cid:173)
`ments, certificates, a tag, a label, a card, packing containers,
`books, bearer bonds, vehicles, food items, garments, personal
`items, healthcare items, livingwares, medicals, a recording
`medium, an electronic device, and the like, each of which has
`25 a function of protecting information recorded and stored in an
`integrated circuit such as an IC chip installed to a product or
`the like.
`Paper money, a coin, valuable instruments, certificates, a
`tag, a label, a card, packing containers, books, bearer bonds,
`vehicles, food items, garments, personal items, healthcare
`items, livingwares, medicals, a recording medium, an elec-
`tronic device, or the like according to the present invention,
`each of which comprise an integrated circuit having at least a
`first nonvolatile memory and a second nonvolatile memory;
`wherein fixed information is stored in the first nonvolatile
`memory; and reading of information stored in the first non-
`volatile memory and/or writing of new information to the
`integrated circuit can be controlled by rewriting information
`stored in the second nonvolatile memory.
`Here, the second nonvolatile memory included in the inte-
`grated circuit serves as a switch or key for controlling reading
`and/or writing of information stored in the first nonvolatile
`memory. Therefore, the second nonvolatile memory is
`required to be a nonvolatile memory that can perform repeat-
`45 edly erasing and writing of the contents of the second
`memory. Hereinafter, the memory that serves as a switch or
`key for controlling reading and/or writing of information
`stored in the integrated circuit such as the second nonvolatile
`memory may be referred to as a switching memory.
`In manufacturing a product, for example, the second non-
`volatile memory is formed by a rewritable nonvolatile
`memory, and information that serves as a key for reading the
`memory of the integrated circuit is written into the second
`nonvolatile memory. Then, product-specific information is
`55 written to the first nonvolatile memory. In this state, since
`information that serves as a key for reading the memory of the
`integrated circuit is written into the second nonvolatile
`memory, the product-specific information stored in the first
`nonvolatile memory can be read and/or rewritten. Further, a
`60 part of the product-specific information can be written into
`the second nonvolatile memory.
`When a product is shipped from a manufacturer, the con(cid:173)
`tents of the second nonvolatile memory is rewritten to make it
`impossible to be read (locked) the memory of the integrated
`65 circuit. By shipping the product in this state, the product(cid:173)
`specific information is not perceived from outside during
`transportation. Even if the product is thieved, the product is
`

`
`

`

`US 8,297,518 B2
`
`3
`not used wrongly or counterfeited and privacy is not infringed
`since the product-specific information cannot be read.
`Both of the first and second nonvolatile memories may
`serve as switching memories to control reading and writing
`(lock, unlock) of the product-specific information stored in 5
`another memory in the integrated circuit. In this instance, the
`product-specific information can be doubly protected by
`rewriting (lock) both of the first and second nonvolatile
`memories in shipping. Alternatively, an arithmetic program
`of information of the first and second nonvolatile memories
`may be written in a program memory in the integrated circuit
`in such a way that lock and unlock of the product-specific
`information may be controlled by the arithmetic result. Fur(cid:173)
`ther, three or more of nonvolatile memories serving as switch(cid:173)
`ing memories can be provided.
`As a typical memory capable of erasing and writing
`memory, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only
`Memory) can be used. The EPROM can be broadly divided
`into an EEPROM (Electronically Erasable and Program(cid:173)
`mable ROM) that can erase memory electrically and a UV- 20
`EPROM (Ultra-Violet Erasable and Programmable ROM)
`that erases memory with ultraviolet rays. As a type of
`EEPROM, Flash Memory can be cited. The EEPROM can
`read and write by increments of one byte, whereas the Flash
`Memory can erase data collectively or by increments of 25
`blocks to write new data.
`As a type of nonvolatile memory utilizing a ferroelectric
`substance, an FRAM (registered trademark, Ferroelectric
`RandomAccess Memory (also referred to as FeRAM)) can be
`used.As usedherein, the term "ferroelectric substance"refers 30
`to a dielectric substance (a substance that stores charge by
`polarization and does not pass direct current) that can change
`freely the spontaneous polarization in a substance (the state of
`generating electric plus and minus in a substance) by voltage
`application and hold the polarization direction without volt- 35
`age application. The FRAM has a characteristic that it can
`read and write at a speed of more than 10 times as high as a
`flash memory. Further, the FRAM is superior in reliability to
`the flash memory.
`As the first nonvolatile memory storing the product-spe- 40
`cific information, the foregoing EPROM or the like can be
`used in the case of rewriting the product-specific information
`more than once. On the contrary, ROM (Read Only Memory)
`can be used in the case of storing the information that is not
`required to be rewritten or that is not desired to be rewritten. 45
`As a type of the ROM, a mask ROM in which data is prelimi(cid:173)
`narily formed as a circuit pattern of an IC can be used (The
`term "mask" is derived from an exposure pattern referred to as
`a mask which is used for forming an IC). The circuit pattern
`of an IC may be selectively formed by mask-less droplet 50
`discharging (typically, ink jetting).
`Alternatively, a read-only PROM (Progranimable Read
`Only Memory) in which a user (including not only a con(cid:173)
`sumer and customer but also a transactor) can write informa(cid:173)
`tion only at once by using a specialized device can be used. 55
`Information is generally recorded on the ROM in manufac(cid:173)
`turing, whereas information is not written into the PROM in
`manufacturing. A user records information on the PROM by
`using a ROM writer. When data is recorded at once, the
`written data cannot be changed or erased as in the case with 60
`the general ROM.
`Since data is written in a circuit in the mask ROM at the
`time of manufacturing the mask ROM, reading out can be
`performed quickly ( a user is not required to write) contrary to
`the PROM. Further, the costs of the mask ROM are low since
`a writing circuit or the like is not required. Therefore, the
`mask ROM is suitable for applications that can be preliminary
`
`4
`expected to be in a great demand. The PROM is preferably
`used for limited production of diversified products, products
`requiring frequently bag patches in launching, or products
`required to be delivered within a short period.
`As used herein, the term "integrated circuit" refers to every
`item that can serve to identify distributable movable property
`such as money or product; immovable property; animals or
`plants; human; or the like, or that can serve to store informa(cid:173)
`tion on the foregoing items. The foregoing integrated circuit
`10 is referred to as an ID chip (Identification Chip), an IDF (ID
`Flexible) chip, an IC chip, or merely an IC.
`The integrated circuit may be formed by an active element
`such as a transistor over a silicon wafer as an IC chip, or by an
`active element having a thin film laminated structure such as
`15 a TFT (thin film transistor) over an insulating substrate such
`as a glass substrate or a flexible substrate such as a plastic
`film.
`Among a device utilizing an integrated circuit (referred to
`as an integrated circuit device or a semiconductor device), a
`device that communicates to an external reader/writer device
`(reader/writer) via a sending and receiving unit (antenna or
`antenna circuit) installed to the integrated circuit device by
`utilizing an electromagnetic field is referred to as a noncon(cid:173)
`tact integrated circuit device. By the communication between
`the integrated circuit device and the reader/writer, informa(cid:173)
`tion on products installed with the integrated circuit device
`can be identified, updated, controlled, and the like. An ID chip
`installed with a sending and receiving unit is referred to as a
`wireless chip.
`On the other hand, a device that connects electrically a
`connecting terminal provided to an integrated circuit device
`to a reader/writer of a terminal device to send and receive data
`is referred to as a contact integrated circuit device. For
`example, a magnetic stripe type or an IC module contact type
`can be nominated as the contact integrated circuit device. In
`the case of contact IC, an antenna may not be provided. An
`integrated circuit device includes a combination structure of
`an integrated circuit device of a magnetic stripe type or an IC
`module contact type, and a noncontact integrated circuit
`device (hybrid type).
`Needless to say, any of a noncontact type, a contact type, a
`hybrid type integrated circuit device can be applied to the
`present invention. Hereinafter, in the case of using merely the
`term "integrated circuit", it refers to any of a noncontact type,
`a contact type, a hybrid type integrated circuit device unless
`otherwise noted.
`The foregoing paper money and coins refer to not only
`currency in the market but also a note that is in currency in a
`specific area as money ( cash voucher). Further, the foregoing
`paper money and coins refer to memorial coins or memorial
`medals that are issued temporarily.
`The forgoing valuable instruments include, but not exclu(cid:173)
`sively, securities, a promissory note, a check, a stock certifi(cid:173)
`cate, bonds and debenture, and the like.
`The foregoing certificates include, but not exclusively, a
`resident card, a copy of family register, an abstract of census
`register, an employee ID card, a student ID card, a member's
`card, an admission ticket to an examination, an admission
`ticket to a class, qualification, an identification card, and the
`like.
`The foregoing tag refers to a label, a price card, a name
`card, a nameplate, and the like, each of which has a micro
`integrated circuit device utilized for identifying an object.
`The foregoing tag is also referred to as an ID tag. The ID tag
`65 stores information such as a private identification code. The
`ID tag includes any of a noncontact ID tag capable of sending
`and receiving information to/from a control system by using

`perceived from outside. Even if the product is thieved, the
`product is not used wrongfully or counterfeited. Further, pri(cid:173)
`vacy is not invaded since the product-specific information
`cannot be read.
`In the case of using a plurality of nonvolatile memories as
`a switching memory, unlawful access to product-specific
`information can be prevented doubly or triply.
`These and other objects, features and advantages of the
`present invention will become more apparent upon reading of
`10 the following detailed description along with the accompa(cid:173)
