摘要:
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) readers may transmit one or more encapsulated commands within the payload of an encapsulating command. An encapsulated command includes at least a command code and an instruction. A reader may instruct a tag to store the encapsulated command(s) or instruction(s) for later execution. A sequence of encapsulated commands may be contained within one encapsulating command or spread across multiple encapsulating commands. The sequence of encapsulated commands, or the sequence of instructions associated with the encapsulated commands, may form a program. The reader may cause the tag to execute the instructions or program upon receipt, upon a trigger event, serially or in parallel, and/or may cause the tag to modify the instructions or program by adjusting parameters. The reader may later instruct a tag to execute the instructions or program via another command which, in some cases, may be sent prior to tag singulation.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags may receive one or more encapsulated commands within the payload of an encapsulating command. An encapsulated command includes at least a command code and an instruction. A tag may store the encapsulated command(s) or the instruction portion of the encapsulated command(s) for later execution. A sequence of encapsulated commands may be contained within one encapsulating command or spread across multiple encapsulating commands. The sequence of encapsulated commands, or the sequence of instructions associated with the encapsulated commands, may form a program. The tag may execute the instructions or program upon receipt, upon a trigger event, serially or in parallel, and/or may modify the instructions or program by adjusting parameters. The tag may later be told by a reader to execute the instructions or program via another command which, in some cases, may be sent prior to tag singulation.
摘要:
In RFID systems employed for loss prevention, an item supplier or an ingress reader writes an ownership code associated with an organization or facility into a tag, indicating that an item to which the tag is attached is associated with the facility and not foreign. At checkout or point-of-sale an authorization reader writes a digital signature into the tag indicating that the tagged item is allowed to leave the facility. At point-of-exit an exit reader determines if the tagged item is allowed to leave the facility by verifying the ownership code and the digital signature. The loss-prevention system may issue an alert or sound an alarm if a facility-associated item is leaving the facility without a proper digital signature indicating that the item is approved to leave.
摘要:
RFID tags and chips for RFID tags are capable of replying using changed reply timing. In a number of embodiments, this timing change is achieved when a tag receives a custom timing command from an RFID reader. In some embodiments, the changed reply timing affects an amount of delay before a tag backscatters a reply.

RFID tag circuits, tags, and methods are provided for using alternative memory lock bits. A pointer in tag memory is configured to point to one or the other of the alternative lock bits associated with a section of the memory for performing a function in response to a reader command. Upon receiving the reader command, the tag first checks the pointer and performs the function based on which lock bit(s) is selected.

RFID reader systems, components, software and methods are provided for use premises that have RFID-tagged items. When a person comes onto an enclosure of the premises already carrying a personal tag, the incoming code of that personal tag is read. When later the person exits the enclosure, they could be transporting some of the items that have actionable codes. The actionable codes can be read, but the incoming code can be removed from them, before the actionable codes are acted upon, in Point-of-Sale or Electronic Article Surveillance systems.
摘要:
RFID tags have an on-chip antenna and an off-chip antenna. One of the antennas can become uncoupled if the proper signal is received, while the other antenna may still operate. The uncoupled antenna can be the larger one, for example the off-chip antenna. Then the tag can then be read only by the smaller antenna, which effectively reduces the range of the RFID tag, but without disabling it entirely.
摘要:
A system and method for generating a rectified signal in a RFID tag. An alternating signal is received by the RFID tag, and a first phase of the alternating signal is coupled to a gate and to a first non-controlling terminal of a first switching transistor. The non-controlling terminal of the first switching transistor is one of a source and a drain of the first switching transistor. A first bias voltage is applied between the first non-controlling terminal and the gate of the first switching transistor and a rectified voltage is received between the first non-controlling terminal and a second non-controlling terminal of the first switching transistor.
摘要:
RFID system components, such as readers and tags, communicate where at least a portion of data or a password is transmitted in encrypted form. The reader transmits a command, along with data or a password encrypted using an encryption kernel. In some instances, the tag itself has sent the kernel.
摘要:
RFID readers exchange information with RFID tags. The information is encoded for transmission and decoded upon reception. Encoding is in binary bits, which are in turn encoded in waveform segments. The last transmitted waveform incorporates an ending-triggering transition, and terminates in a preset manner with respect to when the ending-triggering transition occurs. Parsing while decoding can happen by waiting for the ending-triggering transition, and then waiting according to the preset manner. This way there is no ambiguity in the ending of the waveform, and no End Frame is necessary.
