摘要:
Systems and methods for operating a security tag (132, 300). The methods comprise: wirelessly receiving at the security tag a signal sent from a remote device (104, 190); and preventing alarm issuance when first and second Magnetic Attracting (“MA”) halves (302, 312, 702, 704) of the security tag are pulled apart by deactivating alarm circuitry (264, 340) internal to the security tag in response to the security tag's reception of the signal.
摘要:
A system and method for automatically deactivating a security tag upon entry into business establishment to prevent tag pollution. The system and method involve positioning a security tag deactivator at an entrance of a business establishment and emitting an EM field sufficient to deactivate any security tag that enters into the business establishment.
摘要:
An electronic label tag (100) and electronic label tag system (300) wherein electronic label tag (100) comprises machine readable identifier module, communication module for receiving product related information, attachment means for attaching the electronic label tag (100) to product, and display for displaying product related information. The machine readable identifier module of the electronic label tag (100) is configured to activate the communication module and/or display in response to a command received by the machine readable identifier module.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses for activating an electronic tag with an identifier via an access to a storage area of the electronic tag without database or authentication operations are described. The storage area may be accessed as a scratch pad memory. The identifier can identify an inventory including a plurality of articles. One of the articles is attached with the electronic tag. The electronic tag is active if the identifier is stored in the storage area. When the electronic tag is located within a proximity of the electronic gate device, the electronic tag may be inspected wirelessly from the electronic gate device. An alarm may be activated or caused via the electronic gate device if the inspection indicates the electronic tag is active.

According to an aspect of the invention, a tag system for facilitating a purchase of a sellable item is conceived, the tag system comprising an anti-theft tag and an NFC tag, wherein said NFC tag is arranged to support a payment transaction for purchasing the sellable item, and wherein the NFC tag is further arranged to deactivate the anti-theft tag when the payment transaction has been completed.
摘要:
A device for use in electronic article surveillance EAS is disclosed which comprises a resonant circuit, typically designed for 8.2 MHz operation, in addition to a transponder, such as RFID, for non-contact communication with a communication station. The RFID transponder can provide a signal to detune the resonant circuit to disable the EAS and optionally another signal to tune or retune the resonant circuit to enable or re-enable the EAS. The detuning and tuning or retuning may preferably be achieved using phase change memory material, configured as a programmable switch having two states with different resistances.
摘要:
A security wrap (20) for protecting an electronic component (16) includes a substrate (26) having a first side and a second side opposite to each other. A conductive path (22) is disposed over the first side of the substrate (26) and has first and second ends coupled to the electronic component (16), and a pattern selected from a plurality of predetermined patterns. A layer of adhesive (28) is over the first side of the substrate (26) and bonds the first side of the substrate (26) to the electronic component (16) with the conductive path (22) sandwiched there between.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of making capacitors for use in surveillance/identification tags or devices, and methods of using such surveillance/identification devices. The capacitors manufactured according to the methods of the present invention and used in the surveillance/identification devices described herein comprise printed conductive and dielectric layers. The methods and devices of the present invention improve the manufacturing tolerances associated with conventional metal-plastic-metal capacitor, as well as the deactivation reliability of the capacitor used in a surveillance/identification tag or device.
摘要:
A universal tracking assembly that is capable of supporting more than one protocol used in electronic article surveillance (EAS) labels. The universal tracking assembly includes an acousto-magnetic (AM) EAS portion with a Radio Frequency (RF) EAS portion. The intrinsic characteristics and properties of the components of these individual labels are utilized to enhance the overall performance and utility of the combined EAS universal tracking assembly.
