A non-authentic article discrimination system for discriminating whether
an article to which an IC tag is attached is a non-authentic article
includes an IC tag and a base device. The IC tag includes a first antenna
portion for receiving a radio wave, a power generation circuit for
generating electric power from the radio wave received by the first
antenna portion, a first storing portion for storing information
regarding the article, and a radio wave output circuit for outputting a
radio wave including the information stored in the first storing portion
via the first antenna portion. The base device includes a second antenna
portion for receiving the radio wave transmitted from the first antenna
portion and transmitting a radio wave generated in the base device toward
the IC tag, a second storing portion for storing information regarding
the article, the information stored in the second storing portion being
the same as the information stored in the first storing portion, a
discriminating portion for discriminating whether the first information
included in the radio wave received by the second antenna portion
coincides with the information stored in the second storing portion, and
a displaying portion for displaying a discrimination result of the
discrimination portion.
