Abstract

A commercial system with identifiable reading tags to get useful data is provided. A participation entity, such as a business store, company, non-profit organization, or person, etc., applies registration to a system provider, or the system provider actively provides to create a plurality of identifiable reading tags with unified specification protocol which are fixed on participation entities, such as at least one store, street intersection, public facility, transportation, public used advertisement or product, business card. Every identifiable reading tag has a special label and at least one content tag object capable of representing content data of corresponding participation entities. The data, i.e. corresponding participation entities, content data, and identifiable reading tags, etc., will be integrated into a system database thereby not only benefits to compensate the positioning function with other communication positioning systems but also convenient for users to get a useful data in real time.

Claims

1. An identifiable reading tag, the improvement comprising:

a plurality of content tag objects in an identifiable reading tag, a tag data existing in said content tag objects, and said tag data capable of being read by a portable device thereby one of said tag data and a connection to a link database presenting on said portable device can be chosen.

2. The identifiable reading tag according to claim 1, wherein said content tag objects can be selected from a number code, a name code, a barcode tag, a RFID tag, an audio generating device, an infrared emitting module and a combination thereof, and said tag data can be selected from a location name, a web address, a product manufacturer name, an address, a telephone number, longitude and latitude coordinate of a location, a neighboring map, and a combination thereof.

3. The identifiable reading tag according to claim 1, wherein said identifiable reading tag further selectively has one of a special label, a language marking area, an alignment symbol, and a combination thereof.

4. A commercial system applying an identifiable reading tag, comprising:

at least one identifiable reading tag having at least one content tag object thereon, and a tag data capable of existing in said content tag object;

at least one participation entity on each of which said identifiable reading tag being fixed;

a system database capable of providing relative link relationship between tag data of each identifiable reading tag and said participation entities and thereby connecting to at least one link database; and

a portable device in which at least one tag reading module and a content presentation element are set, said tag data in said identifiable reading tag can be read by said tag reading module, and a tag data to present on said content presentation element or a connection to a link database thereby can be chosen.

5. The commercial system according to claim 4, further comprising a system provider which can actively accept application registration of at least one external participation entity to make said identifiable reading tag such that said identifiable reading tags all have a uniform specification protocol.

6. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said participation entities can be selected from a store, a public location, a public facility, a fixture on said street, transportation, a product, a product specification, advertisement, business card, and a combination thereof.

7. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said content tag objects can be selected from a number code, a name code, a barcode tag, a RFID tag, an audio generating device, an infrared emitting module and a combination thereof, and said tag data can be selected from a location name, a web address, a product manufacturer name, an address, a telephone number, longitude and latitude coordinate of a location, a neighboring map, and a combination thereof.

8. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said identifiable reading tag further selectively has one of a special label, a language marking area, an alignment symbol, and a combination thereof.

9. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said link database can be selected from a system database, a system entry web site, a communication system provider, a self-owned web site, and a combination thereof.

10. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said portable device can further comprises an image capturing module, an infrared receiving module, an audio module, a RFID reading module, a plurality of number keys and a combination thereof to receive said tag data existing in said content tag object.

11. The commercial system according to claim 5, wherein said system provider accepts said application of said participation entities and helps to make at least one individual web site, advertisement, activity message, and a combination thereof in said system entry web site.

12. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said portable device further comprises a GPS module for generating longitude and latitude coordinate for receiving GPS data in said system database through said link database and searching information of pre-existed at least one participation entity, said portable device can receive and build-in a GPS map data first and get accurate positioning information by said tag data on said participation entities corresponding to said GPS map data, and said GPS map data can be selectively provided by one of a GPS system provider and a communication system provider.

13. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said portable device selectively has one of a wired connection and a wireless connection to connect to said link database and select to download one of said tag data, preliminary data, detailed data, and a combination thereof related to said participation entities, and said preliminary data and detailed data can selectively be peripheral environment data, sale product data, activity message data, bargain products, special stores, identity registration, stores, location names, manufacturer names, addresses, telephone numbers, web addresses, longitude and latitude coordinates, identification codes, sale product categories, prices, store data, and a combination thereof.

14. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said portable device can selectively be a cell phone, PDA, NB, GPS, digital camera, voice player, video/audio player, recording pen, and a combination thereof.

15. The commercial system according to claim 4, wherein said tag data, preliminary data, and detailed data of said participation entities can be saved in said portable device prior to said portable device reading said identifiable tag.

16. The commercial system according to claim 12, wherein the longitude and latitude coordinate of a location of each participation entity can be saved in said identifiable reading tag, said system entry web site, said system database, and said link database by activating said GPS module to get said longitude and latitude coordinate of said location to link to corresponding ones.

17. A portable device applying an identifiable reading tag, comprising

at least one tag reading module and at least one content presentation element, said tag reading module can selectively be an image capturing module, an infrared receiving module, an audio module, a RFID reading module, and a combination thereof to read said tag data in an identifiable reading tag and select one of presenting said tag data on said content presenting element and connecting to a link database thereby.

18. The portable device according to claim 17, further comprising a plurality of number keys, a special label, a GPS module, and a combination thereof wherein at least one number key is set as a link system hot key, and said GPS module can selectively receive data provided by a GPS system provider, a system provider, and a combination thereof.
