Preferably, latch 206 and 208 materials by the RF performance of not disturbing RFID label 503 (for example plastics) are made.
Pressure-sensitive RFID label 503 is configured to be used to refer to and removes, if label is partly or entirely removed from latch 206 or 208, the function of the RFID of label will be changed.
In a preferred embodiment, RFID label 503 can have the failure properties of removing, if label 503 is partly or entirely removed above any one of latch 206 or 208, the RFID function will lose efficacy.Cause that the reason that removes failure properties has three, (i) the use strong adhesive attached on latch 206 and 208, makes RFID label 503 will damage when removing on RFID label 503; Perhaps (ii) comprise some tender spots in the design of RFID label 503, if it is designed to RFID label 503 is removed from latch 206 or latch 208, then this tender spots ruptures in some way, separates or lost efficacy.If (iii) RFID label 503 is by from latch 206 or latch 208 tops or Remove All, then some other design element of having a mind to introduce can cause the change of the RFID performance of RFID label 503.
In US Patent 6,888, in 509, to providing the technology that removes failure properties to be illustrated for RFID label 503.In this application, be illustrated removing indicating label.Label can comprise the RFID element and remove part with RFID element bonded assembly conduction.In certain embodiments, remove all or part of RF antenna that part can constitute the RFID label.Removing part should be made of destructible conductive material, for example electrically conductive ink.When label is removed from the surface that its is used and when removing, removes part will be damaged, thereby with the RFID changing function or the inefficacy of RFID label.In one embodiment, when the RFID label is removed, for example some or all ofly remove from the applied surface of this label, the adhesiveness that then removes part is used for separating or damages and removes part.In this way, after removing the part damage, the RFID performance that the indication of RFID label removes will lose efficacy.In one embodiment, the RFID label is adhered from the teeth outwards by tack coat, wherein removes part and is set between RFID label basic unit (comprising the RFID element) and the tack coat.One or more layers bonding can be revised prescription is applied between RFID label basic unit and the tack coat with specific forms, the tack coat of wherein revising material (by optionally increasing or reducing) has changed the adhesive property of the layer of being separated by this tack coat, if thereby the surface of RFID label from its application removed or removed, then promoted to damage to removing part.Because will remove part is electrically connected with other RFID element in the RFID label, and this removes the part that part constitutes the RFID element of label, if then with the RFID tag application in the surface, and subsequently with it partially or completely when the surface removes, the RFID function of label may be changed or be entirely ineffective.
The article that container 100 can be used for storing or the transportation meeting is disturbed the RF performance of RFID label 503.In order to guarantee the stability of RFID label 503 performances, can be with RF ground plane one normally the conductive layer as the metal level one directly be included in the following position of RFID label 503.Ground plane 601 on the flange 205 that is positioned at below the RFID label 503 has been shown among Fig. 6.In comprising the embodiment of one or more ground planes, consider the proximity effect of ground plane, the design of RFID label 503 is adjusted so that the optimum RF ID performance of RFID label 503 to be provided.Should be appreciated that, and do not require the ground plane that must have, and in certain embodiments ground plane may be set not such as ground plane 601 etc.
From the explanation of Fig. 1 to 6 as can be seen, in case container 100 is closed, and will remove indication RFID label 503 is applied on latch 206 and 208, then can not remove RFID label 503 and therefore change under the situation of its RFID performance, open door 101 and 102, wherein the variation of RFID performance can be detected by the RFID reading device.On the contrary, after using the RFID503 label, if RFID label 503 normally reads, this can regard the indication that container door 101 and 102 is not opened as so.
Remove indication RFID label 503 and can comprise read-only or read-write digital memeory.Usually, 503 pairs of only cognizance codes of RFID label are stored, and wherein this cognizance code for good and all is coded in the label 503, and RFID label 503 also can write down the content-related information with container 100 in addition.
In certain embodiments, container 100 can comprise the RFID sign (container identification) of permanent adherence, comprises the code (Container ID) that is used for distinguish containers 100 in this sign.Fig. 7 is the scheme drawing of the container 100 of application container sign 701 on the side of wall of container.In certain embodiments, container identification 701 can be embedded in the material of container 100.In certain embodiments, be complementary, Container ID can be recorded in the internal memory of RFID label 503 in order to make RFID label 503 and container 100.In certain embodiments, in order to make RFID label 503 and container 100 couplings, unique ID code (being stored in the internal memory of RFID label 503) of RFID label 503 can be recorded in the internal memory of container identification 701.
The typical operational version of container 100 is as described in hereinafter.Container 100 can be used for from one place to another conveying objects safely, for example medicine or confidential papers.In the starting point, with the article container 100 of packing into.Latch 206 and 208 can be arranged in container door 101 and 102, container door 101 and 102 is closed, and will remove indication RFID label 503 and be applied on latch 206 and 208.In certain embodiments, can perhaps ID code (if current being stored in the container identification 701) can be recorded in 503 li on RFID label, perhaps both's record with being stored in ID code record in the RFID label 503 in container identification 701 (if exist).The information relevant with container contents can be recorded in RFID label 503 or the container identification 701.Then, container 100 can be transported to the destination.In the destination, RFI D label 503 is read (using the RFID reader) to determine whether it is removed.Removed if read the display label as a result 503 of RFID label, then the take over party of container 100 can take the delivery of cargo of suitable action or refusal container.Do not removed if read the display label as a result 503 of RFID label, then be can read and carry out the information in the internal memory.As mentioned above,, then can read and carry out the information in the container identification 701, wherein can comprise this information and the information that is stored in the RFID label 503 are carried out mutual reference if use container identification 701.In the time container 100 will being opened, RFID label 503 can be removed and abandon, and door 101 and 102 can be opened, and latch 206 and 208 will be removed and abandon.Because only the RFID label 503 with adhesion is applied to latch 206 and 208, therefore do not need the adhesion residue that cleans on door 101,102 and the container 100.Can pass through new latch 206 and 208 in addition, and the new indication RFID label 503 that removes is realized other transport operation.
Except this advantage of adhesive agent that need after removing RFID label 503, not clean, another bright advantage of we is, making the material of latch 206 and 208 and the sticker of RFID label 503 is complementary, with under desired operating environment, what RFID label 503 the bests were provided removes the indication performance.This can finish under the properties of materials of not sacrificing manufacturing container 100.
The variation of preferred embodiment
Should be appreciated that, can carry out multiple variation to above-mentioned preferred embodiment, and still fall within the scope of the invention.To some non-limiting examples of change like this be described.
In a kind of variation of the foregoing description, when closing containers, can use latch more than a pair of latch 206 and 208, for example, container has two or more opening.
In the another kind of the foregoing description changed, latch 206 and 208 mechanisms by " snapping in " or " buckling into " were secured in the door 101 and 102, and this mechanism can not stop latch to remove, but can prevent that latch from coming off.
During the another kind of the foregoing description changed, container 100 may have the door that can open (rather than an opposite house), in the recess of this simple gate of insertion in the latch 206 and 208, and in the adjacent recess on another one latch insertion container 100 bodies.
During the another kind of the foregoing description changed, one in the latch 206 and 208 can have pre-gluing thereon or the RFID label 503 that combines with it, and therefore after closing door 101 and 102, the last applying portion of RFID label 503 can be used for other latch.
During the another kind of the foregoing description changes, remove indication RFID label 503 and may be passive RFID tags, it can not carry plate and carry propulsion source, and therefore can respond the inquiry of RFID reader, but it can not be initiatively and produces the RF signal independently.
During the another kind of the foregoing description changes, remove indication RFID label 503 and can be active label, it comprises internal electric source (for example battery), thereby can send the RF signal to read by external RF ID reader.In certain embodiments, the active indication RFID label 503 that removes is provided in and produces RF signal or storage inside indication information when label 503 is removed.The disadvantage of this variation is, active RFID tag is significantly expensive a lot of than passive RFID tags usually, and RFID label 503 be consumptive material, all will change when container 100 seals at every turn.Therefore, using passive RFID tags conduct cheaply to remove usually indicates RFID label 503 more favourable.
During the another kind of the foregoing description changes, can reader 702 can read the mode that removes indication RFID label 503 RFID reader 702 (referring to shown in Figure 7) is contained in container 100 inside or container 100 tops.RFID reader 702 also can be connected on the device that possesses communication capacity 703 of container 100 inside or top, as has wireless communication capability, and device 703 functions that can provide are as follows:
-receive the data of RFID reader 702, and reader data is sent to the remote external device; Perhaps
-receive data also according to the data interrogation RFID reader 702 that receives from the remote external device.
In this way, can long-rangely determine to remove whether indication RFID label 503 is removed and whether container 100 is opened.Device 703 is driven by internal electric source (for example battery).In one embodiment, device 703 can storage container ID, to replace being identified by adhesion or the separation RFID that embeds container the mode of 701 storage container ID.Device 703 possesses additional performance, includes but are not limited to:
