Description

RFID reader and system thereof, method, application system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the radio frequency identification field, particularly grow distance or use radio RF recognition technology in closed box, is RFID reader and system thereof, method, application system concretely.
Background technology
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a kind of and bar code recognition, optical character identification, the automatic identification technology that smart card and biological assay etc. are arranged side by side.The RFID transponder is to RFID reader emission storage unique identifier thereon, and for example electronic product code (EPC) carries out article or identification.
From the principle of work of rfid system, generally all by transponder (for example electronic tag etc.), signal receiver (reader), these two parts are formed in system.Be illustrated respectively below:
1. transponder
In rfid system, transponder can exist with different forms for different application purposes, and typical form is label (Tag).Label is equivalent to the bar code symbol in the barcode technology, and being used for storage needs the identification information transmitted, and in addition, different with bar code is, label must be automatically or under the effect of radiofrequency signal, and canned data is launched.The radio frequency unit of transponder is used for the signal of reader is carried out work such as demodulation, decoding, with encode for the signal that sends to reader, modulation, this radio frequency unit also has simple antenna, by the signal between antenna reception transmission and the reader.
2. signal receiver (reader)
In rfid system, signal receiver generally is called reader.According to the difference and different (for example encrypted transmission functions) of finishing function of supporting tag types, the complexity of reader has a great difference.The reader basic functions just provides the data interaction with label.In addition, reader also provides quite complicated signal condition control, bad parity verification and orthofunction more etc.Except storage needs information transmitted, also must contain certain additional information in the label, as error-checking information etc.Recognition data and information and additional information are organized in together according to certain frame structure, and outwards send according to specific order.Reader comes the transmission of control data stream by the additional information that receives.In case the information that arrives reader by correct reception and decipher after, whether reader needs transponder to the signal repetition that sends once by specific algorithm decision, perhaps notifies transponder to stop to signal, Here it is " command response agreement ".Use this agreement,, also can prevent the confusion of information effectively even if read a plurality of labels in very short time, very little space.The radio frequency unit of reader is used for the information that will send, be carried on the carrier signal of a certain frequency after the encoded and modulation and outwards send through antenna, response signal to the transponder that receives is carried out work such as demodulation, decoding, this radio frequency unit also has antenna, be used for to transponder transmitting RF signal, the signal that the receiver/transmitter transponder returns.
The power of rfid system in actual applications, the shape of antenna and relative position all can influence transmitting and receiving of signal, need the professional that the antenna of system is designed, installs.
According to energy supply, the RFID transponder is divided into passive transponder (passive label Passive Tag) and active transmitter transponder (active label Active Tag).The active transmitter transponder has their power supply, is generally battery, perhaps is sun power or other energy.Passive transponder does not have corresponding power-supply device, the substitute is it and collect the electric wave that the RFID reader is launched, use as power supply, therefore, it is more cheap that passive transponder is compared active transmitter transponder cost, and higher range of application is arranged.
After passive label enters magnetic field,, just can rely on the faradic energy of acquisition to send out the product information that is stored in the chip if receive the special radiofrequency signal that reader sends; Perhaps active label partly provides energy initiatively to send the signal of a certain frequency by the energy supply of its transponder.After reader reads information and decoding, deliver to related system (for example the accounting system in supermarket, the management system in warehouse etc.) and carry out relevant data and handle.
RFID inactive component utilization radiowave is as energy supply and means of communication, and signal must be in the scope that transponder allows, normally 10 feet (about 3 meters).This class mark is suitable for the short distance information Recognition, establishes as on disposable shaver or these class petty commodities of removable blade packing box passive label being set.
In general, the RFID transponder is because consider the small and exquisite and simple pattern that is designed to that the reason of energy consumption and cost all tried one's best, and passive transponder has small and exquisite antenna and finite storage space, can offer its long enough apart from the energy that transmits data by receiving electromagnetic wave.For passive transponder, for example backscattering connects transponder (after transponder receives the radiofrequency signal of reader, this signal is reflected to reader with same frequency, carry the radio-frequency signal of transponder information in this reflected signal, for the reader processing and identification), the data of understanding also all are the electromagnetic waves that the reflection reader modulate is launched, so effective range is very little.But the transponder that a lot of RFID use all needs the operation of long distance, and current rfid system has no idea to satisfy such demand.
Main in the prior art by changing RFID reader and RFID transponder, for example on radio-frequency power, strengthen to some extent, use different frequency, with new made, but the near problem of solution transmission range that these means all can not be basic, and cause the lifting of production cost.
Chinese patent 03824841.7, denomination of invention is " method and apparatus of information in storage and the distribution RFID tag ", the method and apparatus of information in a kind of storage and the distribution RFID tag is disclosed, this scheme has storer, supports to grow the RF transceiver that distance R F communicates by letter with long range reader and is supported on the safety chain interface with the short haul connection of short range reader.The ID that the RF transceiver can be used for being stored in tag ram sends to long range reader, and interface can be used in, and responsive historical information sends to short range reader on safety chain.Though this scheme can provide longer relatively Card Reader distance, be to use the long range reader of strengthening emissive power, along with the growth cost of signal receiving range can rise very soon, and the extensibility of this system and dirigibility are lower.
Chinese patent 00813640.8, denomination of invention is " the low cost long distance radio-frequency (RF) identification reads ", a kind of electrically conductive ink of using is disclosed in packaging bag, on packing case, print out two large area regions, a non-conductive part of these two packaged casees in zone or packaging bag separates, play a part the RF antenna, place a label that has a RFID chip then, make it two electrically conductive ink parts of this RF antenna of cross-over connection, in fact exactly antenna part is connected on the RFID chip, has so just produced one at the product that is easy to realize aspect surveying or reading.Owing to adopt the area of ink printing mode antenna to obtain increasing, the also corresponding increase of the effective range of antenna, though this scheme can increase the detection range of rfid system to a certain extent, still can not the RF label in container or the closed box be detected.

Be illustrated in figure 1 as subordinate reader structural representation of the present invention, being configured to of this subordinate reader: the radio frequency part that adds transponder to existing reader, subordinate reader of the present invention has comprised transponder radio frequency unit and former reader radio frequency unit, the radio frequency unit of transponder and the radio frequency unit of former reader all link with the control module of this subordinate reader, and the transponder radio frequency unit of subordinate reader is connected with one or more antennas with the reader radio frequency unit, can use an antenna to receive jointly and emitting radio frequency signal (receiving and send the signal timesharing carries out), perhaps can use 2 antennas, an antenna is connected in the transponder radio frequency unit of this radio frequency unit, is used for receiving, signal between emission and the main reader; An antenna is connected in the reader radio frequency unit of this radio frequency unit, is used to receive, the signal between emission and the Commercial goods labels.Transponder by antenna and Commercial goods labels after the reader radio frequency unit of subordinate reader starts communicates, obtain the information of this Commercial goods labels, and be stored on the storer of this subordinate reader, this storer is a readable and writable memory, sends main reader to by transponder radio frequency unit on this subordinate reader and antenna under the control module control of subordinate reader.Main reader is collected the information of relevant Commercial goods labels in the subordinate reader, sets up non-between transponder and the main reader and directly is connected.The subordinate reader is active reader, and this active subordinate reader can be by power supplies such as embedded battery or vehicles.When interacting with main reader, the transponder radio frequency unit of subordinate reader is taken as a virtual RFID label (active or passive), main reader is as the RFID reader operation of subordinate reader, at this moment, the embedded battery of subordinate reader (or the electromagnetic wave that passes through main reader obtains energy) is to the chip power supply of its transponder radio frequency unit, when access tag, use Embedded battery to partly power supply such as the reader radio frequency unit of subordinate reader and control module, the subordinate reader is as the real label (this label comprises active and passive) that scans of the prior art.
Fig. 2 is the inventive method sequential synoptic diagram.Stage 1, main reader is launched an electromagnetic wave signal, the transponder radio frequency unit of subordinate reader is collected this electromagnetic wave energy for himself circuit use (identical with the passive label mode) by antenna, perhaps the transponder radio frequency unit of subordinate reader is activated by the electromagnetic wave of main reader emission, uses the power supply power supply of subordinate reader.Simultaneously, main reader is launched a command information to the subordinate reader that activates.Stage 2, the subordinate reader is powered to parts such as reader radio frequency unit, control modules by its own power source according to the command information of main reader, just as reader of the prior art, launch an electromagnetic wave signal and a Card Reader command information to the transponder of for example electronic tag.In the stage 3, the passive transponder on the Commercial goods labels passes through to receive the electromagnetic wave signal that above-mentioned subordinate reader sends, and returns the unique identifier information such as (ID) of this tag transmitter transponder stores to the subordinate reader.Stage 4, after scanning is finished, the data of one or more Commercial goods labelses are collected in the storer of subordinate reader, and the subordinate reader is one by one transmitted (frame structure does not change) to main reader with these data, in this repeating process and the prior art between transponder and its reader mode of mutual biography data the same.In the rfid system of this hierarchy, the subordinate reader is as the reader of real label, again as the label of main reader.
Main reader and subordinate reader all carry out data-switching, are illustrated in figure 3 as Frame conversion synoptic diagram of the present invention.The data such as unique identifier of storing in the transponder of an electronic tag are compressed within the frame, and send the subordinate reader to by air interface.Frame structure and air interface all meet a certain RFID standard, for example meet the standard (EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2) of RFID international standardizing bodies.When the correct reception of subordinate reader behind the frame of a plurality of Commercial goods labels transponders, retrieval information such as unique identifier and it is stored in the readable and writable memory of this subordinate reader.At this moment the Frame of label can be sent to main reader one by one, the air interface between subordinate reader and the main reader can be standard interface; Also can work as receive all Frames after, the control module of subordinate reader compresses the useful load (data message of a plurality of labels all has interval flag in the frame) in frame of these Frames formation, the subordinate reader transmits this frame by its a transponder radio frequency unit and a day alignment master reader, receive the frame of subordinate reader when main reader after, useful load to this frame decompresses, and obtaining the unique identifier of a plurality of Commercial goods labelses again, the interface between main reader and the user's application system also is the interface in the existing system.Like this in the efficiency ratio prior art that the synthetic frame of a plurality of unique identifiers is transmitted one by one the efficient of transmit data frames improve a lot.
Fig. 4 is a system architecture synoptic diagram of the present invention, and main reader has defined a virtual read device (VR) with combining of subordinate reader, and virtual read device middle for user side application system and transponder is transparent.Air interface between the transponder of subordinate reader and Commercial goods labels according to the ISO standard or EPCglobal standard or use the transponder of existing rfid system and the air interface between the reader.So existing transponder can not produce different with communication between the virtual read device of the present invention.Communication interface between main reader and the user's application system also meets existing rfid system.Based on above description, existing user side application system and transponder can be without using in layering rfid system of the present invention of changing.For the user, if made up common rfid system, and change to layering rfid system of the present invention is not need to change any existing equipment, only need be between former reader and transponder according to actual needs distance add one or more subordinate readers of the present invention and just can realize.Just can read a plurality of labels simultaneously as reader in the prior art, a main reader can read a plurality of subordinate readers, perhaps as shown in Figure 4, main reader is significantly increased with the mode that distance L between the subordinate reader receiver transponder can add a plurality of subordinate readers of the present invention by the mode of connecting.The transponder radio frequency unit of layer 1 subordinate reader is connected in main reader by antenna, the reader radio frequency unit of layer 1 subordinate reader is connected in the transponder radio frequency unit of its downstream layer i subordinate reader by antenna, the reader radio frequency unit of layer i subordinate reader is connected in the transponder radio frequency unit of its downstream layer n subordinate reader by antenna, the reader radio frequency unit of layer n subordinate reader is connected in the transponder of Commercial goods labels by antenna, and i is 2 to n positive integer.The upstream reader of described subordinate reader is meant the reader that communicates with its transponder radio frequency unit, and this reader can be common reader, also can be subordinate reader of the present invention; The downstream reader of described subordinate reader is meant label or the subordinate reader of the present invention that communicates with its reader radio frequency unit.
General RFID transponder is by the radiowave harvest energy and transmit data.Unfortunately, radiowave can not penetrating metal and can be rebounded by metal, to such an extent as to can't read the data of transponder.In container transfer system, the RFID reader can't read the label that is inclusive in the canister, and this situation often occurs.
Be illustrated in figure 5 as the layering rfid system embodiment synoptic diagram that the present invention is used to scan the box house label.One subordinate reader is installed on container or the container, and extends two antennas of this subordinate reader on casing, one of them is the antenna of the transponder radio frequency unit of this subordinate reader, towards main reader (promptly being positioned at outside the case); Another is the antenna of the reader radio frequency unit of this subordinate reader, towards a plurality of transponders of box house.Main reader transmits an electromagnetic wave signal by the antenna to the casing outside, as the energy that activates the transponder radio frequency unit of subordinate reader on the casing.The reader radio frequency unit of subordinate reader is launched object label in the electromagnetic wave signal scanning casing by the antenna of internal container.The transponder radio frequency unit of this subordinate reader is transmitted the data of collecting by the antenna of container outside to main reader then, and this process sends unique identifier just as transponder to reader.Also can be during certain this application by series connection subordinate reader to increase the signal transmission distance between main reader and the Commercial goods labels.
In this RFID application scenarios, the working range of the rfid system of layering can access great expansion, and further, the label in metal cabinet inside can directly be obtained at any time, and need not be as present traditional RFID technology OOBA (out of box audit).
Beneficial effect of the present invention is, by with the subordinate reader as trunking, the coverage between main reader and the label obtains increasing.Change not quite for rfid system of the prior art, only increased a subordinate reader, so the repacking of the cost of native system takes very low.By compressing the data of a plurality of labels, the efficient that reader reads a plurality of labels simultaneously can be improved.The retractility of native system is very big, can be applied to multiple use, for example, can be used to read in the RFID label in the metal container.
Above embodiment only is used to illustrate the present invention, but not is used to limit the present invention.
