1. A radio frequency identification (RFID) device, comprising:
- a detector transmitting a time slot cycle signal, wherein each cycle of said time slot cycle signal is divided into a plurality of time slots;
a plurality of tags receiving said time slot cycle signal, each one of said plurality of tags responds to said detector in a random time slot; and
means in the detector for counting the responses from each one of said plurality of tags respectively with a plurality of cycles of said time slot cycle signal, wherein one of said plurality of tags is identified while the number of consecutive responses of said plurality of tags exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
The present invention provides a radio frequency identification (RFID) device including a detector and several identification tags. The detector transmits time slot cycle signals, and each of the cycle signals is divided into several slots. The identification tags receive the time slot cycle signal, and each of the tags respectively contains a random generator to generate a random number. Individual identification tag responds to the detector in an assigned time slot corresponding to a random number generated by the random generator in each single time slot cycle.
