INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION (T) 1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to radio frequency identification devices, and more particularly to a radio frequency identification device that can identify tags having the same identification code. 2. [Prior Art] A Radio Frequency Identification eat tag (RF ID tag) is used to identify an application known to a user or a substance. In general, when the tag milk is 'modulated' and has an identification code (identifying the modulation (excited), the frequency of the magnetic field (magnef.CQde) may be generated in some cases. It is an electric field (electric Π le field), which is an active tag that contains a power supply itself, or is a dry, or . tag that can be read or placed in a sensor (for general purpose) When the passive range is within the range, the external excitation, such as the sense of the reader, is required. Generally speaking, when the passive tag approaches the sensing gate, the gate 'channel, etc. The emitted excitation frequency signal will produce a modulated residual = The transmitting antenna is then connected to the receiving antenna of the transmitting antenna to connect to the field or the electric field, and the sign is used to identify the label - 虼玲, and the label may further contain different identification semaphores < identiiication Code), It is used to distinguish between the products and the products. For example, the identification tags worn by the employees and the identification tags of the same kind are respectively implanted with different identification codes, so that they can be worn by each of them ("," use At the same time of sensing the door, according to the sensor, the identification of the % % Μ 使 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 126 The labels of different identification codes pass through the sensing range of the sensor. However, the sensor cannot recognize the number of labels with the same identification code in the sensing range at the same time. For example, the goods in the warehouse are labeled with labels for identification, different types. The goods labels have different identification codes, and the warehouse personnel use the sensors to scan the warehouse but only get the number of types of goods, but cannot know the quantity of each type in the warehouse. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the conventional wireless frequency identification. The system enables the sensor to detect the tag with the same identification code in the sensing range, and can instantly detect the change of the number of all the tags in the sensing range. [Invention] In view of the above invention background Many disadvantages caused by conventional radio frequency identification devices. The present invention provides a tag that can identify tags with the same identification code. Frequency identification device for overcoming conventionally derived problems - The main object of the present invention is to provide a radio frequency identification device that can identify tags having the same identification code. Another object of the present invention is to detect in real time in the sensing range. All labels

INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION (4) The present invention provides a radio frequency identification device including an inductor and a plurality of tags. The sensor is configured to emit a time slot period signal, and a time slot period in the time slot period signal is divided into a plurality of time slot positions. A plurality of tags are used to receive the time slot periodic signal, and the tags each include a random number generator to generate a random random number. The label is in the time slot period, and the signal is sent to the sensor at the time slot position corresponding to the random random number. The invention further discloses a method for identifying a tag having the same identification code in a radio frequency identification device, comprising the steps of: transmitting a continuous time slot period signal, wherein a time slot period is divided into a plurality of time slots. Detects all the tags in the sensor detection range, and the tag's reply message is in the different time slot position. Calculating the number of reply messages for all tags and comparing them with the threshold value to confirm the presence of the tag. The first figure is a preferred embodiment of the radio frequency identification system of the present invention, wherein the reader generates a frequency of 1 3 The 5 6 MHz electromagnetic wave signal forms a sensing area or a debt measurement area within the signal transmission range. When the tag enters the sensor's full range, the tag receives the signal and synergizes and echoes the signal to the sensor. This reply signal carries the identification code (i d e n t i f i c a t i ο n c 〇 d e) held by the tag. When the sensor senses the reply signal of the tag, the different identification tags are used to identify different tags.

第8頁 1261787 五、發明說明(5) 此外,標籤產生一隨機IL數(r a n d 〇 m n u m b e r),標籤 會根據此隨機亂數,決定於哪一個時間槽(t i m e s 1 o t)回 覆信號給感應器。因此即使具有相同識別碼的標籤同時存 在於感應器的偵測範圍内,感應器可以根據於不同的時間 槽接收到標籤的回覆信號,進而識別出具相同識別碼的標 籤。Page 8 1261787 V. Inventive Note (5) In addition, the tag generates a random IL number (r a n d 〇 m n u m b e r), and the tag determines which time slot (t i m e s 1 o t) to reply the signal to the sensor according to the random random number. Therefore, even if the tag with the same identification code exists in the detection range of the sensor at the same time, the sensor can receive the reply signal of the tag according to different time slots, thereby identifying the tag with the same identification code.

第二圖為一時序圖,用以說明第一圖中感應器與標籤 A,B,C間的通訊動作。時間槽週期2 1 0 (t i m e s 1 〇 t c y c 1 e )為上述感應器所產生的一頻率為1 3. 5 6 MHz的電磁波,或 稱之為掃描信號(s c a n s i g n a 1)。時間槽週期2 1 0被切割 成32個時間槽(time slot),時間槽與時間槽之間以消 音信號2 1 4 ( mu t e)區隔不同的時間槽,時間槽週期2 1 0與 時間槽週期2 1 1之間,則以四個連續的消音信號做為時間 槽週期間隔2 1 2。其中上述的消音信號2 1 4為感應器短暫停 止發射此1 3 . 5 6MHz的電磁波,造成所謂的消音信號2 1 4。The second figure is a timing diagram for explaining the communication between the sensor and the labels A, B, and C in the first figure. The time slot period 2 1 0 (t i m e s 1 〇 t c y c 1 e ) is an electromagnetic wave of a frequency of 13.56 MHz generated by the above-mentioned inductor, or a scanning signal (s c a n s i g n a 1). The time slot period 2 1 0 is cut into 32 time slots, and the time slot is separated from the time slot by a silence signal 2 1 4 (mu te), and the time slot period is 2 1 0 and time. Between the slot periods 2 1 1 , four consecutive silencers are used as the time slot period interval 2 1 2 . The above-mentioned muffling signal 2 1 4 is a short pause of the sensor to emit the electromagnetic wave of 13.56 MHz, resulting in a so-called mute signal 2 1 4 .

當標蕺進入感應器的感應範圍,其天線接收到感應器 發射的1 3 . 5 6 Μ Η z的電磁波佼’達到協振後然後理過整>/ίΐ電 路成為標籤所需的工作電源。然而,於其他實施例中,標 籤亦可使用外部電源,像是使用電池以供應標籤所需的工 作電源。When the standard enters the sensing range of the sensor, the antenna receives the electromagnetic wave of the 13.35 Μ Η z emitted by the sensor, and then the integrated power is used to become the working power supply for the tag. . However, in other embodiments, the tag may also use an external power source, such as a working power source that uses a battery to supply the tag.

V. Description of the invention (6) One of the features of the present invention is that the tag includes a random random generator. In this embodiment, the random number generator is a co-oscillation circuit, and the oscillating circuit utilizes the uncertainty of the vibrator to continuously generate random random numbers, and the random random number does not exceed a time slot period. The number of time slots split. Furthermore, when the mark receives a time slot interval of 2 1 2, it starts counting to determine the position of the time slot. Therefore, as shown in the second figure, the random number generated by the label A is π 1 ", so when the label Α passes the time slot period interval 2 1 2, the message is returned to the sensor in the first time slot. Similarly, the number of chaos generated by the label B is π 3 ', so when the label Β passes the time slot period interval 2 1 2, the message is returned to the sensor in the third time slot. During the action period (acti ν atetime) 2 2 0 is the time when the tag occurs, and the length of time is equal to the length of one time slot. Except for the action period 2 2 0, the rest time is the stationary period (s 1 eeptime) 2 2 2, During the stationary period 2 2 2, in addition to counting, the tag will stop all actions until the corresponding time slot position appears. According to the above, since the tag is only allowed to operate during the action period 2 2 0, when the tag returns a message to the sensor, a new set of random numbers is simultaneously generated as the time slot position in the next time slot cycle. Therefore only

第10頁 1261787 五、發明說明(7) 要標籤持續存在於感應器的感應範圍内,將會於每個時間 槽週期中產生不同的亂數,這也表示標籤於每個時間槽週 期中是在不同的時間槽位置回覆訊息給感應器。 然而,由於亂數的產生範圍被限制不能超過時間槽數 ,例如於本實施例中,時間槽週期2 1 0被分割成為3 2個時 間槽(t i m e s 1 〇 t),所以亂數的範圍為1至3 2之間。當感 應範圍内的標籤數量較多時,可能出現具相同亂數的標籤 ,產生多標籤於同一個時間槽回覆訊息給感應器的碰撞現 象(c ο 1 1 i s i ο η)。因此,於其他的實施例中,時間槽週期 被分割成多少數量的時間槽,可視實際的應用狀況,可藉 由將時間槽週期分割成較多的時間槽,以降低碰撞的發生 又,當碰撞發生時,由於同時多個標籤回覆訊息給感 應器,造成信號的重疊混亂,因此感應器無法於發生碰撞 時,識別回覆訊息為哪一個標籤所回覆。Page 10 1261787 V. INSTRUCTIONS (7) If the label persists within the sensing range of the sensor, a different random number will be generated in each time slot cycle, which also means that the tag is in each time slot cycle. Respond to the sensor at different time slot locations. However, since the generation range of the random number is limited to not exceed the number of time slots, for example, in the present embodiment, the time slot period 2 1 0 is divided into 32 time slots (times 1 〇t), so the range of random numbers is Between 1 and 3 2 . When there are a large number of tags in the sensing range, a tag with the same random number may appear, and a collision phenomenon in which the multi-tags reply to the sensor in the same time slot is generated (c ο 1 1 i s i ο η). Therefore, in other embodiments, the number of time slots is divided into time slots, which can be divided into more time slots according to actual application conditions, so as to reduce the occurrence of collisions. When a collision occurs, because multiple labels reply to the sensor at the same time, the signal overlaps, so the sensor cannot recognize which label the reply message replies when the collision occurs.

第11頁 1261787 五、發明說明(8) 第三圖用以說明感應器於感應範圍内,偵測標籤的流 程方塊圖。首先,感應器發出一時間槽週期信號3 0 0,於 本實施例中一時間槽週期具有3 2個時間槽。在感應器範圍 内的標籤,產生一隨機亂數以決定在哪一個時間槽的位置 ,回覆信息給感應器。因此,感應器在時間槽週期中不同 的時間槽位置感應到個別標籤的回覆信息3 0 2。一般狀況 下,每個標籤的隨機亂數不同,因此並不會有碰撞發生。 感應器根據標藏於不同的時間槽位置回覆訊息,以識別出 具相同識別碼的標籤。 又,為了解決發生碰撞所導致的無法辨識,感應器會 計數標籤回覆訊息的次數3 0 4。舉例來說,如第二圖所示 的標籤A與標籤B分別具有識別碼π Ο Ο Γ與識別碼” 0 0 2 π,而 標籤C同樣具有的識別碼π 0 0 2 π。當標籤A,標籤Β及標籤C 的回覆訊號出現在時間槽週期中不同的時間槽位置時。感 應器得知識別碼π 0 0 1π的標籤數量為1,而識別碼π 0 0 2 "的 標籤數量為2,並使用計數器紀錄次數。下一個時間槽週 期,如果未發生碰撞,則感應器會再次感應到標籤A,Β, C的存在,並在標籤的岀現計數上各加一次。 當標籤的計數次數累加超過預設門檻值(threshold )時,感應器才確定此標籤的存在,例如本實施例中,門 楼值設定為五次’也就是說’當標叙A ’ B ’ C於連績的五Page 11 1261787 V. INSTRUCTIONS (8) The third figure is used to illustrate the process block diagram of the sensor in the sensing range. First, the sensor emits a time slot period signal 300, which in this embodiment has 32 time slots in a time slot period. The tag within the sensor range generates a random number to determine the location of the time slot and to reply the message to the sensor. Therefore, the sensor senses the reply information 3 0 2 of the individual tags at different time slot positions in the time slot cycle. Under normal conditions, each tag has a different random number, so there is no collision. The sensor replies to the message according to the location of the different time slots to identify the tag with the same identification code. In addition, in order to resolve the unrecognizable caused by the collision, the sensor counts the number of times the tag replies to the message 3 0 4 . For example, the label A and the label B as shown in the second figure respectively have the identification code π Ο Ο Γ and the identification code "0 0 2 π, and the label C also has the identification code π 0 0 2 π. When the label A The reply signal of the label Β and the label C appears in different time slot positions in the time slot period. The sensor knows that the number of labels of the identification code π 0 0 1π is 1, and the number of labels of the identification code π 0 0 2 " 2, and use the counter to record the number of times. In the next time slot cycle, if there is no collision, the sensor will sense the presence of the label A, Β, C again, and add it to the label's count. When the count count exceeds the preset threshold (threshold), the sensor determines the existence of the label. For example, in this embodiment, the gate value is set to five times 'that is, when the standard A ' B ' C is specified Five consecutive achievements

第12頁 1261787 五、發明說明(9) 個時間槽週期中皆未發生碰撞,所以都達到五次的計數, 此時感應器才會確認標籤A,B,C皆確實存在於感應範圍 内。並且計數的上限於本實施例中為1 0次,當計數達到1 0 次後就不會再繼續累加。Page 12 1261787 V. INSTRUCTIONS (9) There is no collision in the time slot cycle, so the count is up to five times. At this point, the sensor will confirm that the labels A, B, and C are indeed in the sensing range. Moreover, the count is limited to 10 times in this embodiment, and the count will not continue to be accumulated after the count reaches 10 times.

但是當感應器因為碰撞現象,或是因為雜訊而導致無 法識別標籤時,則會開始遞減計數次數,同樣地當計數被 遞減至低於門檻值時。感應器便視低於計數門檻值的標籤 已經不存在於感應器的範圍内。此外,由於感應器所發出 的連續時間槽週期的頻率極高,因此感應器只需要短暫的 時間就能確認於感應範圍内具不同識別碼的標籤數量。 然而,於本實施例中使用單一門檻值,做.為確認標籤 是否存在的方式,並不是唯一的實施方式。亦可以使用其 他的計數方式,以達到確認標籤存在的目的。再者,門檻 值的設計,亦可視為對感應器的反應時間及可靠度的平衡However, when the sensor fails to recognize the tag due to a collision phenomenon or because of noise, it starts counting down, as well as when the count is decremented below the threshold. The sensor sees that the tag below the count threshold is no longer in the range of the sensor. In addition, since the frequency of the continuous time slot period emitted by the sensor is extremely high, it takes only a short time for the sensor to confirm the number of tags with different identification codes in the sensing range. However, in the present embodiment, a single threshold value is used, and the manner in which the label is confirmed to exist is not the only embodiment. Other counting methods can also be used to confirm the existence of the label. Furthermore, the design of the threshold value can also be regarded as a balance of response time and reliability of the sensor.

因此,回到第三圖所示的感應器偵測標籤流程方塊圖 。於步驟3 0 4之後,感應器根據標籤的計數次數,以確認 目前感應範圍裡具不同識別碼的標籤數量3 0 6,並且根據 這種方式亦可即時偵測於感應範圍内,具不同識別碼標籤 及其數量的異動狀況。Therefore, return to the sensor detection tag flow block diagram shown in the third figure. After step 3 0 4, the sensor determines the number of tags with different identification codes in the current sensing range according to the number of times the tag is counted, and according to this method, it can also be detected in the sensing range instantly, with different identification. The change of the code label and its quantity.
