RFID tag and method for processing RFID data
First Claim
1. An RFID tag comprising:
- an interrogator, said interrogator outputting a power signal and a command signal;
a resonance circuit, coupled to the interrogator;
a switching circuit, said switching circuit turning on and off the resonance circuit;
a power circuit for smoothing said power signal, said power circuit outputting a constant voltage;
a voltage monitor circuit for monitoring a rate at which the constant voltage signal rises;
a resonance capacitive switching circuit for turning on/off the switching circuit in response to an output of the voltage monitor circuit when a predetermined rise is not obtained; and
anti-collision means for outputting anti-collision data in response to a command from the interrogator.

Abstract
A collision prevention relational function is disclosed for RFID tags, which increases stability during system operations. The RFID tag includes a parallel resonance circuit having a coil, a resonance capacitor, an adjustment capacitor, a switching circuit, a rectification circuit, a smoothing capacitor, a constant-voltage circuit, a voltage detection circuit, an exclusive OR circuit, a timer circuit, a voltage detection circuit, a control circuit, an OR circuit, a latch circuit, an UID storage device, and a data modulator/demodulator. When a predetermined power supply voltage/operating voltage is obtained, an anti-collision algorithm identifies and adjusts RFID tags that experienced collision.

10. A method of performing data processing of RFID tags comprising the steps of:
-
initializing area data and mask data in an interrogator;
requesting a plurality of RFID tag data according to the area data and mask data, each of said plurality of RFID tag data including area data, mask data, time slot data, and ID data;
receiving a plurality of RFID tag data in said interrogator;
storing each time slot data and ID data of each RFID tag data that experienced collision; and
adjusting the area data and mask data according to the stored time slot data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of performing data processing of RFID tags comprising the steps of:
-
determining the time slot data and ID data for each of a plurality of RFID tags;
requesting data from said plurality of RFID tags, said request being executed according to a beginning time slot position;
receiving and storing the time slot data for RFID tags involved in a collision under the beginning time position;
storing data from and subsequently disabling RFID tags not involved in a collision; and
adjusting the time slot position and re-requesting data from RFID tags determined to be involved in a collision. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
