Abstract

A security label is provided, and the security label is configured to being read by a reader device. The security label comprises a substrate, an extending circuit, and a signal processor. The extending circuit is disposed on the substrate. The signal processor is disposed on the substrate. The signal processor further has an input terminal. The input terminal is connected to the extending circuit. When the electrical potential of the input terminal is changed, a status of one bit of the signal processor is reversed.

Claims

1. A security label configuring to read by a reader device, the security label comprising:

a substrate;

an extending circuit, disposed on the substrate; and

a signal processor, disposed on the substrate, the signal processor further having an input terminal, the input terminal connected to the extending circuit;

wherein, when the electrical potential of the input terminal is changed, a status of a bit of the signal processor is reversed

2. The security label of claim 1, wherein the substrate further comprises a tear line spanned the extending circuit.

3. The security label of claim 1, wherein the input terminal is a general input/output terminal.

4. The security label of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of extending circuit, wherein the first terminal of each extending circuit is connected to different input terminal of the signal processor.

5. The security label of claim 1, further comprising a first resistor, wherein the first resistor is connected to the signal processor in parallel.

6. The security label of claim 1, further comprising a second resistor, wherein the second resistor is connected to the signal processor in parallel, and the resistance of the second resistor lower than that of the first resistor.

7. The security label of claim 1, wherein the signal processor further comprises a NFC tag having a plurality of information.

8. The security label of claim 1, wherein the signal processor further comprises a microcontroller, and the microcontroller senses and determines the electrical potential of the input terminal.

9. The security label of claim 1, wherein the signal processor further comprises a NFC antenna, the NFC antenna is configured to receive an external electromagnetic wave.

10. The security label of claim 9, wherein the frequency of the external electromagnetic wave is between 3 MHz and 30 MHz.

11. A security method of the security label described in claim 1, the security method comprising the following steps:

A. approaching the reader device to the security label so as to read the security label; and

B. determining whether the status of the bit of the signal processor is reversed or not;

wherein the security label is determined to be normal by the signal processor if the bit is not reversed, the security label is determined to be torn by the signal processor if the bit is reversed.

12. The security method of claim 11, wherein the status of the bit of the signal processor is read by the reader device via the NFC antenna.

13. The security method of claim 11, further comprising following steps:

C. transmitting a judged result to a cloud database from the reader device; and

D. transmitting a notice message to the reader device from the cloud database.
