Abstract:
A reading apparatus for reading commodity information relating to a commodity from a RFID tag attached to the commodity includes a placement section, a first antenna, one or more second antennas, a reflection member, and a reading controller. The placement section is configured to support the commodity. The first antenna is configured to emit radio waves in a direction facing the placement section. The one or more second antennas are arranged below the first antenna in such a manner that a direction of an emitting plane from which radio waves are emitted is different from that of the emitting plane of the first antenna 15. The reflecting member is configured to reflect radio waves emitted from the one or more second antennas. A reading controller is configured to read the commodity information from the RFID tag of each commodity placed on the placement section with at least one of the first antenna or the one or more second antennas.
