DEVICE AND METHOD FOR READING RF TAG, AND PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an RF tag detection time from being extended, in a device for reading an RF tag corresponding to a plurality of communication specifications. SOLUTION: A program memory 7 stores a plurality of processing programs 16a-16n for executing respective reading processing of RF tags 2 of three or more communication specifications different from one another. A processing order determination part 13 sets execution orders of the processing programs 16a-16n by continuing the execution orders of the processing programs of the communication specifications of which the frequency bands and/or the modulation methods are identical for the plurality of processing programs 16a-16n. An interpreter 5 and a protocol processing unit 6 of a control unit 4 sequentially execute the processing programs 16a-16n in accordance with the execution orders set by the processing order determination part 13.
