Technology:
Ucode developed by
YRP Ubiquitous Networking Laboratory presided by Ken Sakamura of Tokyo University was adopted by International Telecommunications Union as the world
standard. With the ucode technology, it is possible to allocate universal
serial numbers (ID numbers) to all objects and locations worldwide and identify
them on the Internet. Ucode is composed of figures, and there are 2 powered by
128 ucodes, meaning that nearly an infinite numbers of ucodes are available.
IC tags and bar
codes with a built-in ucode that are allocated to industrial and agricultural
products can be identified by a terminal identifies, and the information can be
retrieved via the Internet. It is strongly expected that ucode will be
widespread for such purposes as logistics and sightseeing. It is free to use
the ucode, but users have to pay the operating cost to uiD Center. The annual
usage fee is 100,000 yen for 48 bits that is equivalent to 281 trillion pieces.
At present, 10 million ucodes are used by companies and organizations. Taiwan
and Finland decided to introduce ucode.
