Abstract

A synchronization method for an RFID system (10) including tags (40-1 to 40-n) having different memory sizes, employs a convention wherein sync words and sync bits are stored in tag memory (407) among data bits so that a reader (30) may readily identify the sync word on an RF signal (408) transmitted by a tag (40-1) and serially modulated by repetitions of the contents of the tag memory (407). After identifying the sync word, an RFID reader (30) reads data bits following the identified sync word until a next sync word is received, while ignoring the sync bits interspersed among the data bits.

Figure 12 utilizes various aspects of the present invention, is used to comprise the flow chart of method for synchronous of the rfid system of the label with different memory sizes.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram that comprises the rfid system 10 of the label with different memory sizes.Rfid system 10 comprises 20, one RFID readers 30 of a master computer and a plurality of RFID label 40-1 to 40-n with different memory sizes.RFID label 40-1 is the representative of RFID label 40-1 to 40-n, for purpose discussed below, suppose that RFID label 40-1 presses close to RFID reader 30, thereby its one or more antenna element 401 receives the exciter signal 301 that one or more antenna elements 302 of the correspondence by RFID reader 30 send.The divider chain 303 of RFID reader 30 produces exciter signal 301.
The exciter signal 301 that power circuit 402 rectifications on the RFID label 40-1 receive produces an internal power source voltage Vdd who is used for other circuit on the RFID label 40-1.If order or data are superimposed or be modulated on the carrier signal of exciter signal 301, power circuit 402 is sent to decoding circuit 403 with exciter signal 301.Decoding circuit 403 demodulation exciter signal 301, and carry out mould/number conversion, be provided to the order or the data of the digital form of control circuit 404 with generation.Power circuit 402 also is sent to a clock generator circuit 405 to exciter signal 301.
Clock generator circuit 405 produces two kinds of clock signals.A kind of clock signal has the frequency identical with the exciter carrier signal, and is provided to control circuit 404.Another kind of clock signal has the frequency different with the exciter carrier signal, and is provided to modulator circuit 406, as the label carrier signal of the RF signal 408 that sends from RFID label 40-1.In this preferred embodiment, the frequency of label carrier signal approximately is half of exciter carrier signal, so that distinguish two kinds of carrier signals.
Control circuit 404 comprises an address counter (not shown), and address counter is in address increment to a tag ram 407.Control circuit 404 responsing excitation device signals 301 produce appropriate control signals, and information is repeatedly read with series form from tag ram 407 with exciter carrier signal speed.Then, information is provided to modulator circuit 406.Modulator circuit 406 is with information overlap or be modulated on the label carrier signal, to produce the repetition serial modulated RF signal 408 with tag ram 407 contents.In this preferred embodiment, RF signal 408 is to use through suitably organizing thereby make synchronization character can not appear at synchronization character in data bit and the sync bit, the repetition serial modulation of data bit and sync bit.The transmitting antenna 409 that is coupled to modulator circuit 406 sends to a reception antenna 304 on the RFID reader 30 with RF signal 408.
Receiver circuit 305 is coupled to RF signal 408 through reception antenna 304, to receive and amplification RF signal 408.Receiver circuit 305 preferably also arrives intermediate frequency to the frequency inverted of RF signal 408, so that further amplified and bandpass filtering before it is provided to detector circuit 306.Detector circuit 306 detection serials are modulated to the information on the RF signal 408, and information is provided to a processor 307, the output that processor 307 produces master computers 20 spendable forms.Processor 307 comprises the memory (not shown) of the program that a storage of processor 307 is carried out.Master computer 20 is handled processor 307 and is sent its information to.
Tag ram 407 with various storages with different masses quantity and/or every different bit quantity or data structure configuration can be a different capabilities.For example, Fig. 2 shows a kind of data structure of 7 with every 32 of tag ram 407, Fig. 6 shows has every 16 7 data structure, show and to have every 5 hexadecimal characters 3 the data structure of (or every 20, because each hexadecimal character has 4) with Fig. 8.
Because in order to be modulated to serially on the RF signal 408, the content of tag ram 407 repeats to read, if therefore RFID reader 30 does not have the knowledge of data structure in advance, may be difficult to or can not determine repeat pattern (that is the content of tag ram 407).For example, in Fig. 8, pattern " 0123456789ABCDE " is stored in first example of a prior art tag ram tissue; In Fig. 9, pattern " 56789ABCDE1234 " is stored in second example of a prior art tag ram tissue; In Figure 10, pattern " ABCDE0123456789 " is stored in the 3rd example of a prior art tag ram tissue.Problem is, when from the upper left corner, along every to the right, from last piece to piece down, and when finishing to read the information of tag ram 407 to the lower right corner, each of these patterns all produces identical repetition or circulation pattern as shown in figure 11.As another example, as being 1 all, all be 0, or in the 1 and 0 certain heavy complex pattern that alternately occurs, RFID reader 30 does not have prior data structure knowledge in fact can not determine the length of circulation pattern yet.
Therefore, one aspect of the present invention is to comprise that a start address at tag ram 407 begins, or the synchronization character that finishes at the termination address of tag ram 407, thereby make RFID reader 30 can suitably read the content of tag ram 407 from RF signal 408.In order to guarantee that synchronization character does not repeat on certain positional fault ground of other in circulation pattern, at the suitable bit location of the circulation pattern sync bit that intersperses.Therefore, RFID reader 30 can be by at first finding synchronization character, and the data of reading then behind the synchronization character occur up to next synchronization character, ignores simultaneously, shelters or peel off sync bit, determines circulation pattern.
With reference to figure 6, " 1000000000000001 " that the start address that synchronization character 52 is shown in tag ram 407 begins, be dispersed in the middle of the such data bit " X " of data bit 56 as synchronous hyte 54 such " 01 " the sync bit components among the 7th of memory construction, thereby synchronization character can not be appeared in data bit and the sync bit.Synchronization character and sync bit are also referred to as " system bits ", and data bit is also referred to as " user bit ".Between synchronization character and the one group of sync bit, or the continuous data position between each synchronous hyte is called " data word ", for example the data word 58 in second of tag ram 407.Fig. 7 shows another example of data structure, and wherein synchronization character finishes the termination address at tag ram 407.
In order to be easy to discern synchronization character, in advance synchronization character is defined as a kind of bit pattern, 0 of the maximum quantity in this bit pattern in the data structure content is clipped between two 1.In order to guarantee that synchronization character comprises 0 of the maximum quantity that is clipped between two 1, with " 01 " synchronously hyte periodically be inserted among the data bit, make the data bits between the adjacent synchronous hyte lack four (4), or more than four than the figure place in the synchronization character.As selection, it is right to replace " 01 " sync bit with the sync bit of independent " 1 ".In this case, the data bits between the adjacent synchronous hyte will lack three (3) than the figure place in the synchronization character, or more than three.
Although the quantity of the data bit between the adjacent synchronous hyte " 01 " can be lacked more than four than the figure place in the synchronization character, lack four but preferably the quantity of the data bit between the adjacent synchronous hyte is set at than the figure place in the synchronization character, thereby make in the data structure of data bit and have the figure place of maximum quantity to use.Follow this regulation, after RFID reader 30 identifies synchronization character, can easily determine the unit of sync bit, make RFID reader 30 more easily to shelter or to peel off sync bit reading when serial is modulated at data bit on the RF signal 408.
In addition, by following the regulation that synchronization character comprises whole first data block, as shown in Figure 2, RFID reader 30 also can easily be determined the data structure of tag ram 407.But this regulation may be inapplicable for the data structure of the piece that comprises relative lesser amt.In addition, short synchronization character as shown in Figure 3 can make the situation more data position that has in the tag ram 407 than having used whole first synchronization character available sometimes.But as shown in Figures 4 and 5, situation is always not such.
In a word, by the synchronization character and the sync bit of the known regulation of storage in memory 407, RFID reader 30 can easily be determined storage interior perhaps repeat pattern thereon from the information on the RF signal 408 that is modulated at reception.The realization of RFID reader 30 is simple, and is known for being familiar with those of ordinary skill in the art.
Figure 12 shows the flow chart of the method for synchronous of the rfid system 10 that is used to comprise the label 40-1 to 40-n with different memory sizes.First step 1201 comprises, a synchronization character is stored in the step in first district of tag ram.This first district is the continuous bit location that begins of as shown in Figure 6 the start address at tag ram preferably.In this case, the step of storage synchronization character is included in the step of storage synchronization character in the continuous bit location that the start address of described tag ram begins.As selection, first district can be the continuous bit location that the termination address at tag ram as shown in Figure 7 finishes.In this case, the step of storage synchronization character is included in the step of storage synchronization character in the continuous bit location that the termination address of described tag ram finishes.Because synchronization character preferably predefine is a kind of bit pattern, 0 of maximum quantity in this pattern in the data structure content of tag ram is clipped between two 1, therefore, the step of storage synchronization character comprises step: store first binary condition one, store a plurality of position of second binary condition and store a position of described first binary condition.The storage of synchronization character is preferably carried out by programming to tag ram with habitual method and apparatus after making.But the storage of synchronization character can be chosen in the manufacture process of tag ram or label and carry out with habitual method and apparatus, and this has identical effect.
Second step 1202 is included in stored data bit and sync bit in second district of described tag ram, thereby makes described synchronization character can not appear at step in described data bit and the described sync bit.Second district is the remaining area of the tag ram after having stored synchronization character in the tag ram.Generally speaking, sync bit is dispersed between the described data bit, makes described synchronization character can not appear in the described remaining area of described tag ram.More particularly, the step of stored data bit and sync bit comprises step: set of data bits is made into each all has the data word of lacking four data bits than the figure place of described synchronization character at least; Sync bit is organized at least one the synchronous hyte that each all has described first binary condition; With by described synchronous hyte of interleave and described data word described data word and described synchronous hyte are stored in the described tag ram.After being preferably in and making, the storage of data bit and sync bit carries out to the tag ram programming with habitual method and apparatus.But the storage of data bit and sync bit can be chosen in the manufacture process of tag ram or label and carry out with habitual method and apparatus, and this has identical effect.
Third step 1203 comprises that the transmission serial is modulated to the step of the synchronization character on the RF signal.The described step that sends described synchronization character preferably includes step: send of first binary condition; Send a plurality of positions of second binary condition; With send of described first binary condition.In order to carry out this step, control circuit 404 in the tag ram 407 produces appropriate control signals, so that information repeatedly reads from tag ram 407 in the mode of serial, and be provided to the modulator circuit 406 that produces with the content serial modulated RF signal 408 of tag ram 407.The transmitting antenna 409 that is coupled on the modulator circuit 406 sends RF signal 408.
The 4th step 1204 comprises that sending serial is modulated to data bit and sync bit on the described RF signal, makes described synchronization character can not appear at step in described data bit and the described sync bit.The described step that sends data bit and sync bit preferably includes step: transmission is organized into each and all has the data bit of lacking four data word at least than the figure place in the described synchronization character, with be organized into the sync bit that each all has at least one synchronous hyte of described first binary condition, thereby make described synchronous hyte and described data word interleave.In order to carry out this step, control circuit 404 in the tag ram 407 produces appropriate control signals, so that information repeats to read from tag ram 407 with series form, and be provided to the modulator circuit 406 that produces with the content serial modulated RF signal 408 of tag ram 407.The transmitting antenna 409 that is coupled to modulator circuit 406 sends RF signal 408.
Thereby comprising reception, the 5th step 1205 make described synchronization character can not appear at the step of repetition serial modulated RF signal of the content of the tag ram in described data bit and the described sync bit by suitably storing synchronization character, data bit and sync bit.In order to carry out this step, as described, receiver 305 is coupled to reception antenna 304, to receive and amplification RF signal 408 with reference to figure 1.
The 6th step 1206 comprises that the identification serial is modulated to the step of a repetition of the described synchronization character of described RF signal.The step of discerning a repetition of described synchronization character preferably includes finds that serial is modulated to the step of maximum length sequence of the position of described second binary condition on the described RF signal.Because synchronization character is organized into one of one first binary condition, a plurality of positions of second binary condition and of described first binary condition, thereby the feasible maximum length sequence that needs the discovery serial to be modulated to the position of second binary condition on the RF signal.In order to carry out this step, processor 307 comprises the memory (not shown) of the program of the habitual programmed method programming of usefulness of a storage, and this program stored makes the repetition of processor 307 by the described synchronization character of continuous position identification of the maximum quantity in discovery second binary condition.
The 7th step 1207 comprises that reading described serial is modulated to data bit after the described repetition of the described synchronization character on the described RF signal, is modulated to the step that the next one of the described synchronization character on the described RF signal repeats up to receiving serial.The described step of sense data position preferably includes step: (a) read the continuous data position of some, described quantity is lacked four than the figure place of described synchronization character; (b) read next bit after the continuous data position of described quantity; If (c) described next bit is described first binary condition, stop so, if or described next bit be described second binary condition, ignore described next bit back so one, and jump back to step (a).In order to carry out these steps, processor 307 comprises the memory (not shown) of the program of the habitual programmed method programming of usefulness of a storage, and this program causes processor 307 to carry out these steps.
