Abstract

An ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader with sighting function for reading RFID tag is mainly formed by a RF antenna and a controller, wherein the physical appearance of the RF antenna is formed with a sighting portion. In reading operation, users can aim the sighting portion of the RF antenna at a RFID tag at a remote location by visual mode so that the RF antenna can finish the reading operation promptly and accurately. Therefore, the reading accuracy and efficiency and power consumption can be improved.

Claims

1. An ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader with sighting function used to read a RFID tag, comprising:

a controller;

a RF antenna having a sighting portion formed thereon, said RF antenna being assembled at the front end of said controller, said controller and said RF antenna being in electrical connection and information linking relationship;

an user merely holds said controller by his hand and align his line of sight with said sighting portion of said RF antenna so that the line of sight, said sighting portion and said RFID tag form a virtual straight line, so as to achieve the function of aiming at said RFID tag promptly.

2. The UHF RFID reader with sighting function as claimed in claim 1, wherein a directional light emitting element is assembled on said controller to serve as a light source of direction indicating, which can achieve the effect of promptly aiming at the said RFID tag at a specific location.

3. The UHF RFID reader with sighting function as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sighting portion is formed as anyone selected from a circular hole, a cross hole or a diamond hole in shape.
