Abstract

The present invention provides an improved form of scientific printed textbooks. The invention relates to tagging of pictures/photos/illustrations in regular printed paper-books using Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) chips/inlays, for the purpose of linking those pictures/photos/illustrations to various remotely stored multimedia presentations. With the aid of a Bluetooth integrated RFID scanner, each RFID tag embedded in a particular picture/photograph/picture/illustration in this book can be decoded individually. The retrieved code (bunch of serial digits functioning as a unique electronic fingerprint) gets automatically transmitted wirelessly through the RFID scanner to a Bluetooth enabled viewing electronic device. The received code is then utilized by a specially developed software application (pre-installed on the viewing device) to instantaneously launch a case-specific multimedia (audio-video) presentation relates to that particular photograph/picture/illustration.

Claims

1. - A paper-book that contains photographs/pictures/illustrations tagged with Radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips.

2. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, wherein the RFID chips that can be used for tagging—

as commercially available—

include a wide range of different sizes, weights, shapes and operational frequency. The one chosen for the described book comprise—

but not limited to—

flat-thin 13.56 MHz compatible with the 13.56 RFID readers.

3. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, wherein the case-specific RFID tags are seamlessly embedded within the paper substrate behind all or selected photographs/pictures/illustrations in this book.

4. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, wherein the RFID tagged photographs/pictures/illustrations can be read with the aid of Bluetooth RFID reader.

5. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, wherein the RFID reader is compatible with (i.e. can fully read) the chosen RFID chips.

6. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, wherein the retrieved code from a photograph/picture/illustration (serial number or a bunch of digits) get wirelessly transmitted via the RFID reader to a Bluetooth integrated devices (such as—

but not limited to—

Personal Computer, Laptop, Pocket PC, tablet computer, or cellphone, etc. . . . )

7. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, wherein the pre-stored pre-recorded multi-media presentations (Examples—

but not limited to—

AVI, MPEG, ASF, Divx, WMV, or Real Media) can automatically and instantaneously be run with the aid of a specially written computer interface/software program on a Bluetooth integrated device as described in claim 6.

8. - An RFID encrypted paper-book in accordance to claim 1, application of which is not limited to scientific textbooks, but also extends to include any other form of printed artwork containing photographs/pictures/or illustrations that require and/or will benefit from additional multimedia elaboration (operated and viewed using the same principal mechanism described in this invention)
