Abstract

An RFID book detection system for school children may comprise a plurality of book jackets, at least an assignment system, and a school bag. The book jackets respectively fit around different books, and each of the book jackets has a corresponding RFID tag on a surface thereof. The assignment system is provided for saving and managing input information including at least a curriculum and RFIDs on the RFID tags, and the school bag used for placing the books comprises a sensor which is connected to the assignment system to check whether the books in the school bag are exactly the same as the next day'"'"'s course schedule on the input curriculum saved in the assignment system. Thus, the child can scan the RFIF tags on the book jackets one by one before putting the books into the school bag, which helps child to learn packing his/her school bag independently.

Claims

1. An RFID book detection system for school children comprising:

a plurality of book jackets respectively fitting around different books, and each of the book jackets having a corresponding RFID tag on a surface thereof to represent the corresponding book covered by the book jacket;

at least an assignment system adapted to save and manage input information including at least a curriculum and RFIDs on the RFID tags;

after reading the input curriculum, the assignment system configured to retrieve RFIDs corresponding to the courses on the input curriculum and to save daily course schedules in the form of RFIDs;

a code reader connected to the assignment system for reading the RFID tags on the book jackets, thus checking the required books day to day; and

a school bag, which is used for placing the books, comprising a sensor, which is connected to the assignment system and is configured to detect the books in the school bag and send alarm when a child failing to put the books exactly the same as the next day'"'"'s course schedule on the input curriculum, which is saved in the assignment system, into the school bag,

wherein the sensor has a braille generator which is adapted to display different braille displays in two situations that the books in the school bag match or are not exactly the same as the next day'"'"'s course schedule on the input curriculum saved in the assignment system.

2. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 1, wherein the assignment system is a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, a smart phone, a smart TV, or two or more of above devices synchronously used.

3. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 2, wherein the sensor is connected to the assignment system through WIFI.

4. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 2, wherein the sensor is connected to the assignment system through Bluetooth.

5. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 1, wherein the RFID tag is a 13.56 MHz electronic tag which meets the standard of ISO14443A and has a reading distance in the range from 1 to 10 cm.

6. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 5, wherein the code reader is replaced by a decoder which meets the standard of ISO14443A and has its working voltage from DC 3.3V to DC 5V and working frequency at 1.356 MHz such that the decoder is adapted to automatically read and decode the RFID tag in a distance less than 60 mm.

7. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 1, wherein the sensor of the school bag has a LED panel which is configured to display different lighting patterns in two situations that the books in the school bag match or are not exactly the same as the next day'"'"'s course schedule on the input curriculum saved in the assignment system.

8. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 1, wherein the sensor comprises a vibrator which is provided to produce vibrations when the books in the school bag are not exactly the same as the next day'"'"'s course schedule on the input curriculum saved in the assignment system.

9. The RFID book detection system for school children of claim 1, wherein the sensor has an audio output device which is configured to make different sounds in two situations that the books in the school bag match or are not exactly the same as the next day'"'"'s course schedule on the input curriculum saved in the assignment system.
