1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of data tags each storing identification information, said plurality of data tags attached to an article, wherein at least one data tag of the plurality of data tags is a removable data tag capable of wireless signal transmission at a first range such that removal of the at least one data tag substantially prevents communication of the identification information via the removed data tag and permits communication of the identification information via another data tag of the plurality of data tags, said another data tag being capable of wireless signal transmission at a second range, wherein the second range is relatively shorter than the first range.

Abstract
Deactivating a data tag attached to packaging for user privacy or tamper-evident reasons. Each of a plurality of data tags stores identification information. At least one of the data tags is removable and capable of wireless signal transmission at a first range such that removal of the data tag substantially prevents communication of the identification information via the removed data tag and permits communication of the identification information via another data tag at a second range relatively smaller than the first range.

8. A system having a container and a closure, said system comprising:
-
a first data circuit removably attached to the container; a first antenna attached to the closure and connected to the first data circuit; a second data circuit attached to the container; and a second antenna attached to the container and connected to the second data circuit, wherein the first data circuit communicates a first wireless signal via the first antenna, and wherein disabling the first data circuit enables the second data circuit to communicate a second wireless signal via the second antenna. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
