RFID-BASED BOOK TAGGING DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An RFID-based book tagging method, comprising the steps of:
- using an RFID-based book tagging device to perform a data accessing test upon an RFID tag;
using a barcode reader to read a barcode of a book so as to obtain a book information relating to the book from a database according to the barcode, and then encoding the book information so as to be registered into a memory embedded inside the RFID tag for establishing a data linkage between the book and the RFID tag;
using a tag mover to move the RFID tag relative to the book while performing a scanning operation upon the RFID tag while being move, and after completing the scanning operation, attaching the RFID tag on the book; and
performing a book tagging test.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a radio frequency identification (RFID) device and method for book tagging, using which a RFID tag which is designed to attach to a book is first being scanned and detected in view of optimizing the RFID tag'"'"'s signal strength and its effective reading rate as well so as to determine a position on the book for the RFID tag to attach thereat while allowing the detection to the RFID tag to be prevented from being adversely affected by metals or magnetic materials that are situated ambient to the book.

8. An RFID-based book tagging device, comprising:
-
a shielding box, is consisted of metallic material and having at least one non-metallic RFID scanning zone being constructed therein where electromagnetic waves are allowed to transmit and used in testing the RFID tag, for defining an area where an RFID tag is being accessed and to reduce the external electromagnetic interference; an antenna, mounted at a position inside the shielding box to be used for detecting the RFID tag so as to obtain characteristics of the RFID tag during the RFID tag is used in the book tagging operations; an enclosure case, integrating the shielding box and the antenna so as to be used as an operation platform for the book tagging operations; a barcode reader; an adjustable bracket; a page holder, for enabling an open book to maintain open; at least one digital interface, mounted on the surface of the enclosure case for controlling data transmission and storage; at least one press-key/switch, mounted on the surface of the enclosure case for activating controls relating to the book tagging operation; and at least one displaying/indication unit, mounted on the surface of the enclosure case for providing an indication relating to the testing of the RFID tag that is constructed by elements selected from the group consisting of;
texts, graphics, colors and sounds. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
