摘要： The invention provides a real-time package tracking system for use by a package delivery service. The system includes a vehicle operable to deliver a package to a destination of a customer within a region, a positional location system (e.g. GPS) carried by the vehicle, the positional location system being operable to determine geographic positional coordinates for sequential locations of the vehicle along the route thereof toward said destination. The system also includes a wireless transmitter means (such as a cell phone link) carried by said vehicle, for transferring the aforesaid geographic positional coordinates to a central computer. The computer is operable to providing periodic updated calculations to periodically estimate corresponding estimated arrival time (ETA) data for the specific package to said destination and to supply the aforesaid estimated arrival time data to said customer. According to preferred embodiment, the customer can view a map with the ETA information and can make selections on line (e.g. new ETA, or complete cancellation of delivery). These choices are then used to recalculate the drivers route, and can be displayed for both the dispatcher and the driver as well.

摘要： Active high frequency radio tags have two major disadvantages: First, since the power consumption of any solid state circuit is proportional to the operating speed, active LF,HF and UHF tags require large batteries with limited life (two to maximum five years) and as a result are bulky heavy devices; Second, they must use high speed semiconductor devices that have a major impact on the active tag costs as compared to other semiconductor processes that operate at lower frequencies. The present invention provides a method, system, and ultra low frequency (below 1 megahertz) tag for detection and tracking of animate and inanimate objects attached thereto, the aforesaid ULF tag comprising: a) a tag antenna (e.g. wound on a ferrite core) operable at a low radio frequency below 1 megahertz; b) a communication device operatively connected to the aforesaid tag antenna and operable to transmit data at the aforesaid low radio frequency; c) a clock device, such as a crystal with a natural frequency (with characteristic variations in phase or amplitude to enable discovery of tags within the field of a large loop antenna) operatively connected to the aforesaid communication device and operable to emit clock data to determine the aforesaid low radio frequency; and d) an energy storage device operable to activate the aforesaid communication device and the aforesaid clock device.

摘要： The invention provides a method for controlling the operating state of a lock characterized by a locked state and an unlocked state. The method comprises: entering secret information on an electronic input device (e.g. keypad) located on a radio frequency identity card, then electronically comparing the secret information against an authorized code to determine whether the secret information is authorized, then transmitting by radio frequency an unlocking signal to a radio frequency reader located at the lock for opening the lock in the event that the secret information is authorized. In a related use of such RF identity cards, the invention also provides a system and method of tracking movements of individuals within a secure area. The method comprises the steps of: using a loop antenna operable to transmit and receive RF signals from at least one radio frequency (RF) identity card carried by an individual; transmitting RF signals at a frequency not exceeding 1 megahertz from a reader through the loop antenna to the aforesaid RF card to request a secret code; entering this secret code on an electronic input device (e.g. keypad) device located on the RF card, transmitting this secret code to the reader through a transceiver disposed on the RF card; and using a data processor/CPU located at the reader to determine whether the secret code corresponds to the aforesaid authorization.
