RFID User Input Device with One or More Integrated Circuits for Use with an RFID System

摘要

A RFID system that includes a RFID user input device and an RFID-enabled device. The user input device is configured to send one or more commands to control the enabled device. The user input device may include an antenna pattern operatively connected to one or more separate integrated circuits. The user input device may further include an input component associated with each integrated circuit. The input components may be activated causing information stored at the associated integrated circuit to be sent to the enabled device. The enabled device may be configured to act upon the information in a desired manner.

1. A method of operating an application running on an RFID enabled device based on information received from an RFID input device, the method comprising:
inductively coupling an antenna pattern of the RFID input device with an RFID reader; receiving information at the RFID enabled device from an active input component of the RFID input device while the RFID input device is inductively coupled with the RFID reader; recognizing the RFID input device at the RFID enabled device; determining a command corresponding to the received information; and operating the application running on the RFID enabled device based on the command.
