A measuring system enabled to simultaneously start measurement by a
plurality of transponders by communication between a reader/writer and a
plurality of transponders each with a built-in sensor is to be provided.
In addition to an identifier SID intrinsic to a sensor and a chip
identifier TID intrinsic to a transponder chip, a unique identifier UID
combining the sensor SID and the chip TID is provided in each
transponder. A reader/writer, in designating a transponder and
transmitting a measurement command to it, invalidates the chip TID out of
the UID of each transponder, validates only information regarding a
sensor function, and transmits measurement commands including action
commands unique to each type of sensor.
