An active RF transponder is provided with a wake-up circuit that wakes the RF transponder from a sleep state upon detection of an RF interrogating signal. The active RF transponder includes a battery, an antenna adapted to receive RF signals from an interrogator, and electronic circuitry providing the various RF transponder functions of sending/receiving signals and storing data. A first embodiment of the invention includes a wake-up circuit that periodically checks for the presence of an RF signal at the antenna. The wake-up circuit is coupled to the antenna and includes a switch adapted to selectively couple the battery to the electronic circuitry and provide electrical power thereto upon detection of the RF signals by the antenna. The wake-up circuit further comprises an oscillator providing a clock signal having a low duty cycle that defines intervals during which the antenna is sampled for presence of the RF signals (e.g., approximately 20 ns every 100 &mgr;s). A second embodiment of the RF transponder includes a wake-up circuit as in the first embodiment that is further adapted to detect a code sequence modulated in the RF signals. The code sequence is unique for a class of RF transponder, so the wake-up circuit can discriminate between interrogating signals. A third embodiment of the RF transponder includes a wake-up circuit that wakes the RF transponder upon detection of an RF signal that contains data within a desired band of frequencies. This embodiment enables the RF transponder to discriminate between RF signals that likely contain valid data and other RF noise. After the RF transponder has been waked, the wake-up circuit returns the RF transponder to a sleep state if valid data is not detected within a predetermined period of time.
摘要:
A computer system and method that provides one or more visualizations to one or more users of a network application. The computer executes a sessionization process that receives one or more Web server logs from one or more online stores, and generates one session table for each session found from requests recorded in Web server logs. A shopping step finder process then receives one or more session tables and generates one micro-conversion table for each given session table. Finally, a visualization process receives one or more of the micro-conversion tables and generates one or more micro-conversion visualizations of one or more micro-conversions.

A user is provided with access to a preferred online store through one or more networks. The online store has one or more products each with a product description and a price. The product description and price are provided to the user. A computer receives one or more selection requests for one or more of the products (selected products) from the user. The user is provided with one or more bid conditions for the selected product which the user selects from. The user is then provided one or more second bids. Each of the second bids originates from one or more other stores that participated in an auction and each of the second bids conforms to the bid conditions selected by the user.

An interactive parallel coordinate system is used in a business method to provide users with greater abilities to interpret and explore the clickstream data of online stores on the Web. The interactive parallel coordinate system uses the multiple axes of the system to represent steps of a process with respect to an independent variable. Specifically, the process steps are sequential steps which sessions take during their navigation of a Web site.

A combination of a radio frequency identification transponder (RFID Tag) and to a magnetic electronic article surveillance (EAS) device is disclosed. The present invention relates generally to radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, and more specifically to RFID transponders for use in RFID systems and the method for their assembly.
