38. A system for identifying a human or an animal, the system comprising
a primary tag and a secondary tag, wherein the primary tag is configured to send a first tag-to-tag signal; -
wherein the secondary tag is configured to receive the first tag-to-tag signal; wherein the secondary tag is further configured to send a second tag-to-tag signal upon receiving the first tag-to-tag signal, the second tag-to-tag signal comprising a unique secondary tag identification code; wherein the primary tag is further configured to store a secondary tag identifier and receive the second tag-to-tag signal; and wherein the primary tag is further configured to identify the secondary tag as a correct secondary tag associated with the primary tag if the unique secondary tag identification code in the second tag-to-tag signal matches the secondary tag identifier stored in the primary tag. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
