RFID-based book tagging device and method

摘要

The present invention relates to a radio frequency identification (RFID) device and method for book tagging, using which a RFID tag which is designed to attach to a book is first being scanned and detected in view of optimizing the RFID tag's signal strength and its effective reading rate as well so as to determine a position on the book for the RFID tag to attach thereat while allowing the detection to the RFID tag to be prevented from being adversely affected by metals or magnetic materials that are situated ambient to the book.

主权项

1. An RFID-based book tagging device, comprising:
a shielding box, is consisted of metallic material and having at least one non-metallic RFID scanning zone being constructed therein where electromagnetic waves are allowed to transmit and used in testing an RFID tag, for defining an area where said RFID tag is being accessed and to reduce the external electromagnetic interference; an antenna, mounted at a position inside the shielding box to be used for detecting the RFID tag so as to obtain characteristics of the RFID tag during the RFID tag is used in the book tagging operations; an enclosure case, integrating the shielding box and the antenna so as to be used as an operation platform for the book tagging operations; a barcode reader; an adjustable bracket; a page holder for enabling an open book to maintain being open; at least one digital interlace, mounted on the surface of the enclosure case for controlling data transmission and storage; at least one press-key/switch, mounted on the surface of the enclosure case for activating controls relating to the book tagging operation; and at least one displaying indication unit, mounted on the surface of the enclosure case for providing an indication relating to the testing of the RFID tag that is constructed by elements selected from the group consisting of: texts, graphics, colors and sounds.
