RFID BASED MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring at least one item, comprising:
- an entry point operable in a Radio Frequency (RF) field of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader; and
a connection system for accessing at least one marker tag allocated to the at least one item, through conducive coupling, the at least one marker tag including a unique identification (ID) and being operable by the RFID reader, the connection system being conductively coupled with the entry point so that the marker tag is readable through the conductive coupling.

Abstract
An RFID based monitoring system and method is provided. A tag module is allocated to an item to be traced, which is operable by an RFID reader. In the system, the tag module is accessed through conductive coupling with an entry point that is operable in an RF field of the RFID reader

23. A system for monitoring an item, comprising:
-
a tag module including a unique Identification (ID) and a first antenna, the tag module being operable by a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader; and a second antenna for accessing the tag module, the second antenna being conductively coupled with an entry point operable in a Radio Frequency (RF) field of the RFID reader, the second antenna being inductively coupled with the first antenna so that the tag module is readable through the conductive coupling. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method of monitoring at least one item, comprising the steps of:
-
allocating at least one marker tag to the at least one item, the at least one marker tag comprising a unique identification (ID) and being operable by a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader; and accessing the at least one marker tag through conductive coupling, including conductively coupling an entry point operable by the RFID reader with a connection system for accessing the at least one marker tag, and reading the at least one marker tag with the RFID reader through the entry point. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
