Abstract

A method and RFID system for providing a service is provided. A plurality of RFID tokens are prepared. Each tag is associated with one or more services.
The RFID token is a RFID tag-based token. A user selects the RFID tag to an item. The RFID token is inserted into a package with the item to request the service to the item. A recipient scans the package to obtain the service information from the RFID tag, and handles the item based on the information.

Claims (19)

1. An RFID system comprising:

a tag manager for providing at least one RFID tag having a service associated therewith; and a service manager for sensing one of the at least one RFID tags, wherein the RFID tag is selectively associated with an item and identifying the service associated with the RFID tag.
2. An RFID system according to claim 1, further comprising a database having information related to the tag, the service or a combination thereof stored therein.
3. An RFID system according to claim 2, wherein the database is utilized for tracking an expiration date of the service.
4. An RFID system according to claim 2, wherein each of the at least one RFID tags has information including a unique identification and service associated therewith, and wherein the information of each of the at least one RFID tags is stored in the database.
5. An RFID system according to claim 4, wherein the service manager validates and confirms the identification against the database to verify the service to be provided.
6. An RFID system according to claim 1, wherein the RFID tag is a prepaid token having a service and a price of the service associated therewith.
7. An RFID system according to claim 1, wherein the RFID tag has a priority information associated therewith, and wherein the service manager provides the service in response to the priority associated with the sensed priority information.
8. An RFID system according to claim 1, further comprising a module for writing additional information to the RFID tag.
9. An RFID system according to claim 8, wherein a user selectively using the RFID tag writes one or more instructions associated with the service to the RFID tag.
10. An RFID system according to claim 8, wherein the tag manager writes additional information when a user selects the RFID tag with respect to the item.
11. An RFID system according to claim 1, wherein the RFID tag comprises:
a processing unit;

an antenna appropriate for radio frequency communications with the RFID tag; and a memory containing information related to a service.
12. An RFID system according to claim 1, wherein the service manager includes an RFID interrogator, which is capable of communicating with the RFID tag.
13. An RFID system according to claim 12, wherein the RFID tag is inserted into a package with the item, and at the service manager, the information stored in the RFID tag is read through the RFID interrogator without opening the package.
14. A method of using an RFID tag containing information related to a service;

having at least one RFID tag, each of the at least one RFID tags having a memory containing information related to a service;

selecting one of the at least one RFID tags; and associating the RFID tag with an item wherein the service is to be provided to the item.
15. A method according to claim 14, further comprising the step of:

writing additional information to the RFID tag.
16. A method of using an RFID tag containing information related to a service;

scanning for an RFID tag that is associated with an item;
detecting the RFID tag;

reading the RFID tag to determine the service associated therewith; and handling the item with consideration to the service.
17. A method according to claim 16, wherein the scanning step scans a package containing the item and the RFID tag, and the reading step reads the RFID tag without opening the package.
18. A method according to claim 16, further comprising tracking the expiration date of the service with the RFID tag.
19. An RFID tag for being packaged with an item, comprising:
a processing unit;

an antenna appropriate for radio frequency communications with the RFID tag; and a memory containing information on a service assigned independently of the item.
