Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic seal and, more particularly, to an electronic seal equipped with a breakage-detecting circuit for detecting, recording and reporting any event of breakage of the electronic seal.
  • An electronic seal based on radio frequency identification (“RFID”) and a combinative communication framework for example can be used to seal a container trailer truck or a bond truck so that the security of goods contained in the vehicle and information of the content of the goods can be transmitted and identified.
  • Electronic seals are classified into active electronic seals and passive electronic seals, based on whether they are equipped with batteries. Passive electronic seals can be found in Taiwanese Patents M358380 , M328051 , M260603 and 1289795 for example. These passive electronic seals are disposable, i.e., they cannot be reused. Therefore, these passive electronic seals are not friendly to the environment. Furthermore, these passive electronic seals cannot actively record events of breakage and the points of time of the events of breakage or immediately report the events of breakage via communication device.
  • An active electronic seal which includes a battery, generally performs more functions than a passive electronic seal.
  • An active electronic seal can be found in Chinese Patent Application Publication ZL200620047910.6.
  • the active electronic seal includes a global positioning system ("GPS") module, a microprocessor, a receiver and a transmitter.
  • GPS global positioning system
  • the active electronic seal includes a disposable plug and socket that cannot be reused so that the cost of the application of the active electronic seal is also high.
  • Another active electronic seal can be found in US Patent No. 6,069,563 .
  • the active electronic seal is equipped with an active-detective circuit for detecting events of breakage.
  • the active electronic seal is also a one-time disposable device that cannot be reused so that the cost of the application of the active electronic seal is also high.
  • An electronic seal can be equipped with a breakage detecting and recording apparatus for detecting external parameters such as light, heat and temperature. Such external parameters of a container or a carriage of a bond truck are detected and recorded before and after door sealing, then compare those data to determine whether the door has been opened illegally.
  • An electronic seal can be used together with a GPS and GSM, GPRS, WCDMA or HSDPA communication to position the electronic seal and exchange security and transportation information of goods contained in the container or the carriage.
  • the present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.

  • the shell includes an opening through which the plug can be inserted into the shell and locked to the socket.
  • the connector of the socket can be connected to the connector of the plug.
  • the control and communication circuit provides a locking command, receives an encoded command, decodes the encoded command, checks the command, and then provides an unlocking command if there is a match for the command.
  • the control and communication circuit further records any event of breakage of the electronic seal and the point of time of the event of breakage of the electronic seal and actively transmits the record of the event of breakage of the electronic seal to a radio frequency identification reader.
  • the locking unit includes a ring and a horizontally movable bar through the ring so that the bar can be inserted in and moved out of the groove of the plug.
  • the radio frequency antenna is located in the shell for connection to the radio frequency identification chip. An external radio frequency identification reader can read information of security from the radio frequency identification chip when the rechargeable battery fails.
  • the electronic seal may further include a displaying and warning unit located on the shell for displaying and warning of a low battery, finished sealing, a communication framework and breakage-detecting information based on the working condition of the control and communication circuit.
  • a displaying and warning unit located on the shell for displaying and warning of a low battery, finished sealing, a communication framework and breakage-detecting information based on the working condition of the control and communication circuit.
  • the electric contact points of the connector of the plug are in contact with the electric contact points of the connector of the socket so that the radio frequency identification chip of the plug is electrically connected to the radio frequency antenna inserted in the shell of the socket to respond to electromagnetic waves from the external radio frequency identification reader.
  • the radio frequency identification chip When the plug is broken or activated illegally so that the supply of electricity to the radio frequency identification chip is interrupted, the radio frequency identification chip records time of the event of power failure and the event itself.
