Temperature tracking and monitoring system used for commodities transportation
First Claim
1. A temperature tracking and monitoring system used for commodities transportation, comprising a deliver unit, comprising:
- a transportation means;
at least a glove compartment disposed in the transportation means;
a RFID tag disposed in the glove compartment and adapted to transmit an identification code, wherein the RFID tag is capable of transforming a temperature into a temperature signal and transmitting the temperature signal; and
a RFID reader disposed in the transportation means and capable of reading the temperature signal and the identification code;
a control computer coupled communicatively with the RFID reader so as to receive the temperature signal and the identification code, adapted to transmit a positioning request signal and receive real-time position data, transform the real-time position data into a position signal and transmitting the position signal, the temperature signal and the identification code in a specific manner; and
a monitor and control unit, comprising;
a positioning device adapted to transmit the real-time position data to the control computer in response to the positioning request signal; and
a logistics center adapted to receive the position signal, the temperature signal and the identification code so as to acquire information of a position and a temperature of the glove compartment.

Abstract
Disclosed is a temperature tracking and monitoring system used for commodities transportation comprises a deliver unit, a control computer and a monitor and control unit. The deliver unit comprises a transportation means, at least a glove compartment, a RFID tag and a RFID reader. The glove compartment is disposed in the transportation means, the RFID tag is disposed in the glove compartment and has provision for transmitting an identification code. The control computer is adapted to communicate with the RFID reader to receive a temperature signal and the identification code. The control computer transmits a positioning request signal, receives real-time position data, transforms the real-time position data into a position signal and transmitting the position signal, the temperature signal and the identification code in a specific manner. The monitor and control portion comprises a positioning device and a logistics center. The positioning device transmits the real-time position data to the control computer in response to the positioning request signal. The logistics center receives the position signal, the temperature signal and the identification code so as to acquire information of a position and a temperature of the glove compartment reading content of a local message.
