Abstract

An identification tag information reminder system and a method thereof are provided. The system comprises an identification tag, for storing a tag identification code, an identification condition data and a reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data; and a portable device, comprising a memory, for storing a plurality of predetermined reminder conditions; an identification tag access module, for accessing the tag identification code, the identification condition data and the reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag; a processing module, for comparing the predetermined reminder condition with the tag identification code and the identification condition data to generate a comparison result; and an indicating module, for outputting the reminder message according to the comparison result.

Claims

1. An identification tag information reminder system, comprising:

an identification tag, for storing a tag identification code, an identification condition data and a reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data; and

a portable device, comprising;

a memory, for storing a plurality of predetermined reminder conditions;

an identification tag access module, for accessing the tag identification code, the identification condition data, and the reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag;

a processing module, for comparing the plurality of the predetermined reminder conditions with the tag identification code and the identification condition data to generate a comparison result; and

an indicating module, for outputting the reminder message according to the comparison result.

2. The identification tag information reminder system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the indicating module comprises a vibrating unit for generating a vibration effect when the comparison result is a matching result.

3. The identification tag information reminder system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the indicating module comprises a sound unit for generating a sound effect when the comparison result is a matching result.

4. The identification tag information reminder system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the portable device comprises a setting module for setting the plurality of the predetermined reminder conditions.

5. The identification tag information reminder system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the portable device comprises a setting module for setting the identification condition data.

6. An identification tag information reminder method, applied to an identification tag information reminder system comprising a portable device and an identification tag, wherein the identification tag stores a tag identification code, an identification condition data, and a reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data, the identification tag information reminder method comprising:

setting a predetermined reminder condition into the portable device;

accessing the tag identification code, the identification condition data and the reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag;

comparing the tag identification code and the identification condition data with the predetermined reminder condition to generate a comparison result; and

outputting the reminder message according to the comparison result.

7. The identification tag information reminder method as claimed in claim 6, further comprising:

setting the identification condition data and the reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag.

8. The identification tag information reminder method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the step of setting the identification condition data and the reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag comprises encrypting the identification condition data and the reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag.

9. A portable identification tag information reminder device, for accessing an identification tag, comprising:

a memory, for storing a predetermined reminder condition and a reminder message corresponding to the predetermined reminder condition;

an identification tag access module, for accessing a tag identification code of the identification tag;

a processing module, for comparing the tag identification code with the predetermined reminder condition to generate a comparison result; and

an indicating module, for outputting the reminder message according to the comparison result.

10. The portable identification tag information reminder device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the indicating module comprises a vibrating unit generating a vibration effect when the comparison result is a matching result.

11. The portable identification tag information reminder device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the indicating module comprises a sound unit generating a sound effect when the comparison result is a matching result.

12. The portable identification tag information reminder device as claimed in claim 9, comprising a setting module for setting the predetermined reminder condition.

13. A portable identification tag information reminder device, accessing an identification tag, comprising:

a memory, for storing a predetermined reminder condition;

an identification tag access module, for accessing a tag identification code, a identification condition data, and a reminder message corresponding to the identification condition data of the identification tag;

a processing module, for comparing the tag identification code and the identification condition data with the predetermined reminder condition to generate a comparison result; and

an indicating module, for outputting the reminder message according to the comparison result.

14. The portable identification tag information reminder device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the device comprises a setting module for setting content of the identification tag, and the content comprises the identification condition data and the reminder message.
