Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for identification of an object, which with a return deposit is verifiable according to the preamble of claim 1 Object that must be identifiable, an application of the process and use of the object.
  • the element arranged on the object is preferably an identification chip, a circuit or magnetic stripe, which when the object is handed over and Payment of a deposit for the object with the information is provided that the object is given a deposit is. When taking back the property and returning the deposit the information on the chip or circuit or Magnetic stripes deleted or overwritten or on "not pledged".
  • further information can preferably be provided on the element, like a chip, an integrated Circuit or magnetic stripe when delivering the object transferred, such as delivery point, delivery date, Identification of the content, identification number, etc., which further information depending on the redemption point of the Object can be read upon return and in its entirety or only partially deleted or changed.
  • These others Information can also include information about whether the object belongs to a certain "deposit system", i.e. that a deposit, for example, is only from a certain one Delivery point, such as a chain of stores, and accordingly only from a certain take-back point, such as the store chain mentioned, is also repaid.
  • Activation, data transfer or writing at submission of the object or reading, deactivating, overwriting and / or the data is deleted according to a preferred variant using infrared, magnetic recording technology or using low frequency technology, such as radio frequency transmission or identification technology (RFID).
  • RFID radio frequency transmission or identification technology
  • data transmission takes place the object on an identification chip through data transmission in the low frequency range, such as radio wave range from a so-called interrogator (reader / writer) and Chip's data can be read by a reader / writer and, if necessary, changed, overwritten or deleted become.
  • interrogator reader / writer
  • Chip's data can be read by a reader / writer and, if necessary, changed, overwritten or deleted become.
  • communication takes place between the chip and interrogator, for example by means of radio waves.
  • Another object of the present invention relates to the identification of a single-use or multi-use object.
  • a disposable or Multiple use object which is simple and must be clearly identifiable, and which one, if applicable preferably an activatable or writable Has element which is arranged in or on the object and which is writable with information or on or on which information can be applied, this information at least partially again can be deactivated, deleted or overwritten.
  • the element is preferably firmly connected to the object or preferably arranged integrally on or in this.
  • an identifiable element which is preferably a activatable or writable element is suitable in particular a so-called identification chip, a magnetic stripe or an integrated circuit, which or which is at least legible, possibly preferably active is writable and / or on or off and the data stored thereon, preferably at least preferably partially overwritable and / or partially erasable are.
  • the element proposed a semiconductor chip, which is writable and readable, rewritable and at least partially is erasable in the low-frequency wave range, such as Radio wave frequency range.
  • the method defined according to the invention is particularly suitable for multiple-use objects, such as bottles, containers, Barrels, canisters, etc., which contain a filling material provided against deposit and empty against return of the pledge be withdrawn.
  • the method according to the invention is suitable for objects, where an object is given, which is then must be returned for regulatory reasons.
  • the method is also suitable for example for deposit-bearing containers, such as trays, the used for the sale of food such as meat and cheese become.
  • Such a method is used, for example operated by the company Eco Tray Systems in Holland.
  • the method according to the invention is also suitable for disposable objects, such as PET bottles, batteries, TV sets, refrigerators, etc. Disposal to a suitably equipped or designated Return point are to be returned.
  • FIG 1 shows schematically the basic principle of the present Invention.
  • a full bottle 1 is on the conveyor belt 3 a cash register 5 where the bottle is to be paid.
  • an identification chip according to the invention 11 arranged, which for example in two parts is formed, on the one hand having an area 13, which is reserved for object-related data and an area 15 which is for data relating to the deposit system is reserved.
  • This chip can be, for example is a magnetic stripe or one Identification chip based on semiconductors. It is essential that this chip must be at least legible, preferably writable and preferably at least partially again can be deleted or overwritten. It is preferred to use a Chip used, which is readable in the low-frequency wave range or is writable, especially in the radio wave area.
  • Chips have a miniaturized radio antenna, and are for example on a thin polyester film, which chips are permanently arranged on the bottle surface can be provided, for example, with a laminated Protective layer.
  • a chip directly into the bottle wall pour in, especially if it is a Plastic bottle deals.
  • Area 13 may contain information such as unique Product identification (e.g. an EAN or UPC code) and information about the filling material, filling date, production batch, and the like, while in the area 15 information on are like deposit system, chain of stores, whether with a Pledged or not and date of sale. specially the latter information can be used when paying and paying of the deposit by means of a so-called interrogator 17 be, the transmission by means of radio waves he follows. With this interrogator in the area of a cash register 5 it is primarily a writing instrument, but which possibly also a reader at the same time if it is is about reading the data in area 13.
  • unique Product identification e.g. an EAN or UPC code
  • the interrogator 17 act primarily as a writing instrument if the identification chip 11, such as with respect to the band information mentioned above.
  • the identification chip 11 such as with respect to the band information mentioned above.
  • a single-use or reusable object like the bottle 1, has an identification chip 11, which is readable at least in the radio wave range.
  • An identification chip, at least legible in the radio wave area has significant advantages over today common and known identification elements Basic barcode, such as EAN or UPC code.
  • the cycle ends by bringing the bottle back.
  • special facilities are arranged in sales shops, in which the empty bottles are entered can.
  • it is a tower-like one Device 21, which is a circular, rotatable Write 23, on which the empty bottle 1 entered becomes.
  • the bottle rotates in the direction of the arrow a slot-like opening 25 to arrive at the entrance again an interrogator 31 is provided, in which it is at least one reading, preferably is a reader / writer.
  • the interrogator 31 determines whether the deposit information in area 15 of the Identification chips 11 is activated.
  • the interrogator 31 also preferably works by means of low-frequency data communication, such as by means of Radio wave frequency transmission.
  • the big advantage of radio wave frequency data communication is that not necessarily visual contact between the interrogator and the identification chip must be present. Consequently it doesn't matter if a bottle is rotated by 180 ° is entered on the disk 23, or, if the Opening 25 larger is also entered with the harasse can be whether bottles are contained in a harass there is information on the identification chip 11 read by the interrogator 31 and then for example, can be deleted.
  • the identification chip is activated in such a way that the deposit is only returned to a certain issuing point becomes. If the object is at another issuing point returned, the interrogator 31 identifies the corresponding information on the chip and refuses to Repayment of the deposit.
  • the present invention is by no means limited to any particular object, but can be used wherever a clear Identification or designation of a one-way or reusable object is necessary and if necessary return, correct Disposal or recycling of a given object is desirable or meaningful or necessary.
