RFID switch tag
First Claim
1. A switchable radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag device comprising:
- a first RFID module positioned on a first plane;
at least one un-tuned antenna section positioned on a second plane; and
a sliding mechanism configured to move between a first position and a second position;
wherein the first plane is positioned parallel to the second plane,the first RFID module is coupled to the at least one un-tuned antenna section to form a tuned RFID tag in the first position, andthe first RFID module is inoperable in the second position.

Abstract
Various embodiments of RFID switch devices are disclosed herein. Such RFID switch devices advantageously enable manual activation/deactivation of the RF module. The RFID switch device may include a RF module with an integrated circuit adapted to ohmically connect to a substantially coplanar conductive trace pattern, as well as booster antenna for extending the operational range of the RFID device. The operational range of the RFID switch device may be extended when a region of the booster antenna overlaps a region of the conductive trace pattern on the RF module via inductive or capacitive coupling. The RFID switch device may further include a visual indicator displaying a first color if the RFID switch device is in an active state and/or a second color if the RFID switch device is in an inactive state.
