The present invention relates to an integrated electronic tag recognition system for recognizing electronic tags in an integrated manner.

The wireless sensor network represented by USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) is a next-generation core technology that recognizes objects and environments by attaching electronic tags to all objects and builds and utilizes real-time information through the network. Increasing informatization will ultimately lead to a ubiquitous network by integrating with the Broadband Convergence Network (BcN).

Therefore, the wireless sensor network has been developed from the initial identification of the object through the electronic tag, the acquisition of the environmental information at the same time by the addition of a sensing function, and the control of other electronic tags with less function through communication between the tags. do.

Especially, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology of 900MHz band used in wireless sensor network provides relatively long recognition distance by using low-cost passive tag that does not require separate power supply. ,

This technology will be widely used in military.

RFID technology is a system that processes information by identifying a thin flat tag attached to an object through a radio signal without contact. An RFID tag, which is a representative of an electronic tag, is generally an integrated circuit (IC). A contactless recognition device having an antenna connected to a memory device, and receiving power from a self-power or a read request signal from a reader, and transmitting a tag signal corresponding to the read request.

The processing of RFID tags can range from as simple as passing through a door to something as complex as a sales transaction with a database.

RFID tag provides various information such as advertisement, event, etc. as well as purchase information about the article or article with RFID tag in rewritable memory, and wireless recognition field using RFID tag includes process management, SCM, and access control. , Logistics, windows

It is widely applied in high management, retail, library and rental management, transportation fee payment, non-cash payment, medical field, amusement park and event business, security and hospitality.

The global market for RFID totaled US $ 5 billion from 1997 to 2001, and the total RFID market is expected to reach US $ 10 billion in 2005. In Korea, the related industry is trying to expand the introduction of logistics and factory automation. As such, the market is expected to maintain a full-fledged boom, growing 20-30% annually.

A survey of more than 200 companies in 60 countries, including Europe, Latin America and the United States, found that 71% of the retailers surveyed plan to introduce RFID technology by the end of 2005 and 75% of the companies by the end of 2006. At home and abroad, the market size is growing.

RFID tag is a suitable medium for ubiquitous environment, and as ubiquitous computing system emerges as a new topic in IT field, RFID tag, which is an element technology of ubiquitous computing, is attracting attention. It is possible to predict that the demand for handset for the RFID reader which reads the number will increase rapidly.

As the RFID market is expected to grow significantly in the future, technology in RFID-related industries such as Texas Instruments, Motorola, and Philips has been developed.However, each developer or manufacturer can improve its technological level and secure product competitiveness. week

As a result, RFID readers are being developed in various ways according to manufacturers in response to RFID tags developed for various applications.

However, due to the sensation of popularity, interest and development of RFID, there is not much consideration in related industries about technical weaknesses. The technical weakness and system of RFID technology are caught in the atmosphere of the times that RFID can solve everything.

I'm overlooking the weak point.

At present, the technical weakness of RFID technology is the biggest technical weakness of the reader for stably recognizing the response generated from more than one tag at the same time, and the recognition rate is very high in the tag attached to the products made of metal materials and liquids. It is low and the interference or transmission problem between metal materials and tags remains a technical problem for practical application in a wide range of industries.

Institutional issues are largely economic and social. Economically, there is no economic reason to replace existing barcodes in the structure where the current RFID tag price does not drop below 5 cents and the reader also quotes $ 1,000. Of course technology advances

This will lower the manufacturing cost.

In 2008, it will enter a price structure applicable to all industries, but in terms of social and institutional aspects, the invasion of personal privacy will continue to be an issue.

While consumers buy products and bring RFID tags to their homes, there are corporate marketing strategies such as real-time inventory management and distribution process tracking, but they can be traced even when customers leave tagged stores. Infringement

This is a major issue.

However, despite this ambiguous privacy system and technical weaknesses, there is no objection that RFID will certainly make a big difference in the logistics and distribution sector. Complementing appropriate solutions, institutional complements, technical weaknesses or economic weaknesses, taking into account the social and cultural background of the target area or industry, all devices or systems will evolve in stages, and at each stage they will be completed through trial and error. will be.

RFID can store a lot more than conventional bar code, and the recognition distance is 1.5-27m long, and it can penetrate obstacles except metal, but it is still the center of the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) industry. Silver barcode

It occupies more than 73% of the market and is gradually evolving to RFID, biometric and voice recognition.

Barcodes are at the heart of important advances in automating product distribution over the last two decades. Barcodes are a key element of automatic recognition technology that dramatically improves the accuracy, reliability, and speed of data collection.

Thanks to the remarkable development of the electronics industry, it was rapidly developed and distributed, and in the 1980s, high density two-dimensional code was developed to express more data in a narrow space.

The RFID market, which has recently been actively applied in logistics and distribution, is expected to have a high market growth rate of over 40% by 2007, but it is relatively high in cost and business compared to barcode technology, which is currently dominating the automatic recognition system market. Apple

The lack of integration software with applications, the lack of international standards, and early unvalidated markets will make it difficult to completely replace the barcode market in the coming years.

Therefore, there is a need for an integrated electronic tag recognition system capable of universally recognizing technologies applied to major automatic recognition systems such as barcodes, OCR, voice recognition, biometrics, smart cards, and RFID.

On the other hand, when one type of electronic tag is required for each application to which the electronic tag is attached, the number of electronic tags to be read by the electronic tag reader for reading the tag is very unreasonable from the user's point of view. not,

In the end, it may be a limiting factor in the growth of the electronic tag-related industry.

Therefore, the electronic tag integrated recognition system having a general-purpose electronic tag reading function that can be used handset and can be used for general purposes can be eliminated, which eliminates the inconvenience that a conventional electronic tag reader needed for each electronic tag. do.

In addition, as an example of the above-described RFID technology, an international RFID standardization organization centering on ISO / IEC JTC1 is devising an Auto-ID network using an EPC code as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. .

As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the auto ID network according to the prior art, which is being carried out up to now, has an RFID reader which reads a unique ID attached to an RFID tag, recognizes the information of the RFID tag and provides detailed information related thereto ( In order to obtain the product details, the location information of the corresponding application information must be obtained through the ONS server interworking with IPv6. Therefore, middleware (M / W) for the air interface connected to the RFID reader is required separately.

To this end, the RFID server 40 as shown in FIG. 2 provides various interfaces and functional units 42 to 48 for an air interface connected to the RFID reader 31.

Therefore, as described above, the conventional wireless sensor network in which international standardization is in progress has many problems to be solved in the fields of interworking with RFID and IPv6, interworking interface with LAN, WiBro, etc., and ONS standard. It is done.

In particular, even if the above problems are solved, in the case of configuring the wireless sensor network according to the related art, the wireless sensor network must be provided with expensive middleware such as the RFID server 40 described above. Environmental, trade, medical, welfare,

Obstacles are expected to apply to various fields such as construction.

On the other hand, Korea's Information Technology (IT) industry, which has led the Korean economy with a steep rise in the past decade, has developed high-speed Internet infrastructure and one-person mobile phone with the development of original technologies such as semiconductors and mobile phones. Wireless communication technology is not enough to reveal the face of IT power, as seen in the high-speed Internet and mobile phone penetration.

Therefore, if you commercialize CDMA for the first time in the world and lay out the high-speed Internet infrastructure to remote islands and remote areas in just a few years and make wireless mobile communication anywhere in the country, you can take advantage of the infrastructure of Korea's wireless mobile communication technology anytime, anywhere.

God will be able to come closer to the ubiquitous world than any other nation.

Therefore, by utilizing the mobile phone and the existing wireless network infrastructure, which is a necessity for the people of the whole country, it is possible to implement an integrated electronic tag recognition system that can recognize various electronic tags developed for various applications and provide related information anytime and anywhere.

The room is desperately needed.

In addition, another object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide an integrated electronic tag recognition system that can use the phone number as a security and authentication means.

It is to provide an integrated electronic tag recognition system that can provide application information corresponding to various electronic tags using the existing wireless mobile communication network.

As described above, the present invention provides an integrated electronic tag recognition system capable of providing application information corresponding to an electronic tag using a mobile communication terminal having a general purpose electronic tag reading function for various electronic tags developed for various applications. radish

There is an effect that can be implemented at low cost over the sun network.

In addition, the present invention has the effect that by using the telephone number as a security and authentication means in the integrated electronic tag recognition system, not only general users but also administrators can share the electronic tag network in a secure environment.
