Abstract

A method for embedding a tag in an object includes placing a tag in a mold defining a cavity for forming an object, holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity, and forming the object in the cavity, with the tag being embedded in the object. The tag includes an inner layer with an outer face, an outer layer formed on the outer face of the inner layer, and an integrated circuit mounted on the outer face of the inner layer and covered and thus protected by the outer layer, with an antenna device being electrically coupled to the integrated circuit, and with the antenna device being also covered and thus protected by the outer layer. The outer layer is made of non-metal material to allow transmission of signals.

Claims

1. A method for embedding a radio frequency identification tag in an object, comprising:

placing a radio frequency identification tag in a mold defining a cavity for forming an object;

holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity; and

forming the object in the cavity, with the tag being embedded in the object.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, with the tag including a protective layer having an outer face that is flush with an outer face of the object.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, with the mold including an inner mold part and an outer mold part, with the tag being held in an inner periphery of the outer mold part in the step of holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, with the mold including an inner mold part and an outer mold part, with the tag being held in an outer periphery of the inner mold part in the step of holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, with the tag being held in place by one of vacuum and static electricity in the step of holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity.

6. The method as claimed in claim 2, with the protective layer being one of transparent and non-transparent.

7. The method as claimed in claim 3, with the tag including a protective layer having an outer face that is flush with an outer face of the object.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, with the tag including an inner layer with an outer face, an outer layer formed on the outer face of the inner layer, and an integrated circuit mounted on the outer face of the inner layer and covered and thus protected by the outer layer, with an antenna means being electrically coupled to the integrated circuit, and with the antenna means being also covered and thus protected by the outer layer.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, with the mold including an inner mold part and an outer mold part, with the tag being held in an inner periphery of the outer mold part in the step of holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8, with the mold including an inner mold part and an outer mold part, with the tag being held in an outer periphery of the inner mold part in the step of holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity.

11. The method as claimed in claim 8, with the tag being held in place by one of vacuum and static electricity in the step of holding the tag on a face delimiting the cavity.

12. The method as claimed in claim 8, with the protective layer being one of transparent and non-transparent.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9, with the outer layer of the tag including an outer face that is flush with an outer face of the object.

14. The method as claimed in claim 2, with the protective layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.

15. The method as claimed in claim 7, with the protective layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.

16. The method as claimed in claim 8, with the outer layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.

17. The method as claimed in claim 9, with the outer layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.

18. The method as claimed in claim 10, with the outer layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.

19. The method as claimed in claim 11, with the outer layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.

20. The method as claimed in claim 12, with the outer layer of the tag being made of non-metal material.
