FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM

Currently, it is necessary to solve the problem of creating a cheap, lightweight label that would be easy to use for the buyer, but at the same time it is an active device that is easily introduced into the control system by the controlling organizations of the quality of the goods. In addition, it is necessary to use the label in a simple, contactless system that allows you to easily and conveniently enter data for enterprises involved in the production, storage, delivery, recording and display of the movement of goods and sale of goods in the documentation. Such a complex, complex task requires a compact, convenient label that, without any additional devices, could indicate to the buyer that the shelf life of the goods has not expired, that it was stored in accordance with the required storage mode. At the same time, the buyer must be sure that the product is genuine and manufactured without any violations leading to its unsuitability for use, for example, that its moisture content complies with GOST, etc. However, to include a label as an indicator requires that it also works as an indicator and information carrier for enterprises involved in the process of delivering goods to the consumer. Those. it is required to accumulate information on the movement of goods, their safety, for example, on the presence or absence of unauthorized access to the goods, on the storage and transportation of this goods that do not violate the requirements of the manufacturer.

Thus, the proposed indicator label provides:

- combining the above functions while simplifying the design and manufacturing technology of contactless reading information systems;

- the ability to automate the input of information both during transportation, warehousing, retail, and accounting (data entry on sales volumes, stock in the warehouse, tracking (ways of movement) of goods, its safety);

- simplicity of monitoring the shelf life of products or storage conditions, monitoring and control of temperature conditions of storage;

- ease of entering information on the label, reading data from the label, its identification, its re-labeling (for identification) and its accounting;

- the ability to create a standardization system depending on compliance, that is, a single system using the norms and rules enshrined in regulatory documents: industry standards, state standards, SNIPs, technical regulations;

- compliance with the protection scheme contained in the system of standards of compliance;

- compliance with the protection policy enshrined in the system of standards of compliance, as well as monitoring it when changing the protection policy.

Currently, such a wide range of requirements is inaccessible to both consumers and enterprises.

The technical result of the invention is the creation of a consumer label indicator for a special identification system that would be easy to operate for the consumer and would provide maximum information for enterprises, i.e. with the help of which the consumer can directly check the quality of the goods, with the simultaneous inclusion of the identifier label in the contactless product quality control system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This technical task is implemented as follows.

The Globe indicator label is a combined device, the individual parts of which are structurally combined on an indicator flexible type-setting polymer film plate, includes, in addition to the plate, one or more color indicators and / or microdisplays, at least one or several resonant circuits and a semiconductor circuit. In this case, the color indicator or microdisplay has one or several divisions, each of which shows the state of one of the monitored parameters and its qualitative (quantitative) characteristic and occupies an area of one part of the surface of either the magnetic layer itself or the optical device. Each color indicator or microdisplay has a color characteristic in the form of a graphic sign or color background, depending on the desired signal that is transmitted to the consumer, equipped with a symbol identifier detector, which in turn consists of an upper active magnetic layer and a lower passive magnetic layer, in which a magnetic pigment is added penetrated by layers of conductive paint with magnetic properties. The layers of conductive paint are made with the inclusion, for example, of magnetic powder or any ingredient endowed with certain electromagnetic properties. The magnetic layers are made in the form of honeycombs of magnetic powder. The magnetic layers are electrically separated by the polymer layer on which they are placed. The lower passive magnetic layer of the symbol identification detector is made of a polymer structure, which is an insulator, with a magnetic layer placed inside it, and the upper active magnetic layer is made of a honeycomb structure consisting of magnetic powder and conductive paint. In this case, the magnetic layers are made of magnetic powder and magnetic pigment with a given ratio of characteristics. Moreover, the magnetic layers do not touch each other, but the upper magnetic layer is in contact with the membrane of the symbol identifier detector. The magnetic powder of the layers and / or the magnetic pigment of the layers has constant magnetic characteristics for a given period of time relative to a given decay rate for a given period of time of one of the characteristics transmitted by the antenna of the resonant circuit of the semiconductor circuit and allowing one or another control parameter to be determined. The color indicator on top of the symbol identifier detector may be coated with a protective layer, for example, of a glassy, smooth material. The microdisplay also additionally contains the first reflecting and the second reflecting opposite layers - optical layers with optical elements, where the optical elements are made in the form of blocks of glass microspheres, layer-by-layer embedded in a gasket of polymer, or in the form of non-contacting metal particles, layer-by-layer embedded in a gasket of polymer. Metal particles can also be combined into blocks. Moreover, both glass microspheres and metal particles are respectively coated with a thin metal layer that provides reflectivity and the ability to glow blocks when ions of charged particles pass through them, and the optical layer as a whole is made of the first and second reflective layers, each of which is made in the form of a discrete layer having a special structure of splashes divided into electrically isolated sections formed from thin-film metal shells deposited on metal astitsy or glass microspheres, combined into blocks and one layer performs the function of the first reflective layer and second reflective layer is opposite to and has the function of the second reflective layer. Moreover, each reflective layer is provided on at least those metal particles or blocks of glass microspheres that are located in the region or regions of the antenna or communication antennas of the resonant circuit. The resonant circuit has a resonant frequency equal to the sum of two different modulation frequencies of the radiation of the active radio frequency emitter of the semiconductor circuit, and the resonant circuit includes a passive radiator that emits a tone-modulated signal at the indicated total frequency, which is a response to the active radio frequency emitter (antenna) and reflects the characteristics of the radio frequency identification module , and an active emitter that emits a duplicate signal. The resonant circuit is designed as a spatial structure of an integrated circuit forming an antenna network consisting of passively active transponder antennas, and is placed on a flexible indicator film plate in each color indicator and microdisplay. A protective layer is applied to the color indicator symbol identification detector and the first optical layer of the color indicator. A non-linear impedance semiconductor circuit for summing RF signals contains a resonant circuit including an active RF emitter whose radiation is frequency modulated by the two nearest frequencies equal to the arithmetic average of the frequencies selected for operation in a given range and a receiving antenna, as well as at least one microprocessor in the form an integrated circuit, a device for storing current information received from each sensor, a comparison unit, a device for storing predetermined parameters for controlled characteristics, which is also the carrier of the information required for product identification, an activation matrix in the form of a narrow-band receiver for receiving and demodulating the carrier signal by subtracting the radio frequency (RF) signal and its harmonics with the detection of a modulating low-frequency signal (LF), power supply, radio frequency unit identification. In this case, the conductive paint of the symbol identifier detector can be included in the form of filaments, which are in the form of symbols and placed in a medium of magnetic pigment. The polymer layer of the symbol identifier detector may be made of glass, or plastic, or a polymer film, or ceramic, or mica, i.e. any insulator interconnected in the form of cells The metal particles of the optical element can be, for example, angular reflectors and can be made, for example, in the form of prisms, combined into cells, which in turn are combined into blocks.

A polymer gasket for optical elements is, for example, made of glass, or plastic, or a polymer film, or ceramic, or mica in the form of a plurality of cells, inside of which magnetic powder is placed. In this case, the radiation of each resonant circuit can be toned modulated, respectively, by one radio frequency identification module. As sensors that can be placed both on the product itself and in the room where the product is stored, they can use time relays, or temperature sensors, or humidity sensors, or pressure sensors, or other known sensors. The current information storage device receives electromagnetic signals from external sources, which reflect the readings of sensors, which are used as a time relay, or temperature sensors, or humidity sensors, or pressure sensors, and transmits a signal to internal devices that perform a comparison of the received signal, distribute , redistribution and identification of these signals. In this case, the carrier signals, after filtering and comparing the data from the base of the current information storage device with the data base of the storage device of the set parameters, are detected, for example, by signals from sensors previously stored in the current information storage device, which contain digital data falling into the strip of a narrow-band receiver that creates a stream of digital data and designed to detect the presence of a passive transponder in the detection zone when the intensity and duration of the signal is generated by the aforementioned transponder and received by the aforementioned narrow-band receiver will exceed the minimum values of these parameters. In addition, the resonant circuit of the color indicator can be performed using transponders. The resonant circuit of the microdisplay can also be performed using transponders. The resonant circuit of the semiconductor circuit can also be performed using transponders.

The magnetic layer can be made of any magnetic material, for example, soft magnetic pigment, and metallic inclusions can be made of magnetic powders (see Krylova A.V., Epikhin A.N., Bayburtsky F.S., Kiselev M.R., Stepanov GV "Obtaining magnetic powders and iron oxide pigments from solid industrial waste"). In this case, the magnetic pigment, which is also a magnetic powder with selected magnetic characteristics, also performs the function of a dye with a color that varies depending on the controlled characteristics. Depending on the technology of their manufacture, magnetic pigments, for example, in the synthesis of pigments prepared using alkaline seedless and soda methods for the synthesis of goethite, provide different pigment colors - yellow, red, brown-red, black. The property to change the color of the pigment.

For example, magnetic pigment, i.e. material with constant magnetic characteristics for a given period of time and with a given decay rate of a selected characteristic over a given period of time, for example, can be goethite. In the above source, the dependences of such characteristics as the coercive force H _C , the residual magnetization B _R , the saturation magnetization B _S depending on the characteristics of the material are analyzed. These material characteristics allow you to set the dependence of the readings of sensors, for example, temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. and reactions of magnetic material. For example, a magnetic material can react as follows: either change its pigmentation on a scale from a darker pigment to a lighter color and vice versa, or respond with a sharp change in color, showing whether the controlled characteristic was exceeded or not. The color of the magnetic layers depends on the pigment components in them, which vary in turn depending on the magnetic field. For example, it is possible to compose structures at the atomic level, in which the effect of the spins of one atom on another changes. For example, atoms are combined on a thin insulated surface of copper, into which a chain of ten atoms of manganese is a component. In this case, the magnetic properties change depending on the introduction of new atoms into the chain. For example, a chain with an odd number of atoms exhibits network magnetic properties, but with an even number it does not. See SAN JOSE, CA, “1 BM Scientists Develop New Way to Explore and Control Atom-Scale Magnetism,” Mar 30, 2006 for more on such nanotechnology.

The proposed device label indicator can be integrated into a whole quality control system by connecting it to a terminal on which there is a main computer with a CPU and the necessary software. In addition, it becomes possible to read the information accumulated by the label through global data transfer systems, such as GPS. By transmitting signals to the receiving antennas of these terminals and correspondingly entering the transmitted data into the host computer, using the proposed indicator label and appropriate programs, for example, accounting, logistics and others, it is possible to carry out the following functions of the quality control system: to monitor the storage and transportation of the product, transportation volumes , track and automatically record in the documentation data on sales volumes, product location, unauthorized opening of packages, production identification of Tell, the buyer, to control the security system, the presence of counterfeit products, etc.

Depending on the type of color indicator and microdisplay, the indicator label can carry out the following functions:

- an indicator of the freshness of the product (implementation period);

- an indicator of compliance with storage conditions, for example, compliance with the storage temperature in a given range, for example, from -40 to + 105 ° C

- indicator of labeling (identification) of products;

- indicator (interactive information database), combining the functions of storing information and transmitting it to a remote station for its subsequent centralized processing and storage;

- a security indicator that provides protection against theft and provides notification of theft, the so-called EAS function;

- warning indicator in case of fire, i.e. fire function;

- temperature controller indicator, i.e. operating as a semi-passive transponder that continuously monitors temperature changes over time;

- temperature controller indicator, i.e. carrying out continuous monitoring of the storage temperature of the product;

- indicator-controller of product safety, i.e. controlling other product parameters, such as product moisture;

- an indicator-controller of the characteristics of the environment in which the product is stored, for example, humidity, pressure, temperature, etc .;

- an indicator for personification, for example, which is a contactless individual card designed to work in access control systems with high security requirements, in wireless transaction systems and various payment applications, while performing the role of an electronic wallet or an electronic document "Identity Card";

- a special purpose indicator, which is a product from a group of products intended for use in contactless identification systems for industrial and medical products;

- indicator-tags, which are set as tags on objects, etc. for labeling the product and placing product information in accompanying documents and the like.

Moreover, all these functions can be implemented together on one label by placing on it the required number of color indicators and microdisplays. In the simplest case, one function can be implemented on a single label in relation to one controlled characteristic, for example, monitoring the period of sale of a product.

The present invention is not limited to the above described embodiments, but encompasses various variations within the scope of the appended claims.

BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The proposed technical solution of the label indicator (Figure 1) consists of a flexible type-setting film plate (1), a color indicator (2) (Figure 2), a microdisplay (3) (Figure 3) and a semiconductor circuit (4). Inside both the color indicator and the microdisplay there is a resonant circuit (5) (see Figs. 2, 3 and 4). The color indicator (2) has one (Fig.13g) or several (Fig.13a, b and c) divisions (6). These divisions can be of different shapes - in the form of sectors of a circle, ellipse or stripes of a rectangle or triangle, and can be placed in the form of a single division on one color indicator. Each color indicator (2) and each microdisplay (3) are placed in a row on a flexible film plate (1), forming “B” divisions on the optical device (7) of the indicator label. Each division (6) of the color indicator has a specific color. The color of the indicator is changed by changing the color of the magnetic pigment included as a separate component in the conductive paint. When exposed to a magnetic pigment introduced into the conductive paint of a color indicator or microdisplay, a magnetic field emanating from the resonant circuit (5), the pigment changes the color of the paint from, for example, light to dark or vice versa. The pigment may have a gradation - with a minimum magnetic field, the paint will be, for example, the lightest, with an average magnetic field, the paint will be medium in color intensity, and with a maximum magnetic field, the paint will be the darkest. In the first case, the indicator will be able to show the occurrence of an event, for example, the storage period has been exceeded or not. In the second case, the indicator will be able to show the suitability of the product by an indicator that can vary in a certain interval. For example, the storage temperature may be optimal, then the paint is the lightest, or the temperature varies within the acceptable range, then the average paint intensity, for example, did not go beyond a certain interval, or the temperature exceeded the allowable limits, then the darkest paint, for example, the product was thawed . Since the magnetic field of the magnetic layer changes with the attenuation in time according to the selected characteristics of the magnetic field, the color of the indicator also changes. The color change depends on the strength of the magnetic field on the magnetic pigment. In addition, the conductive paint with magnetic pigment can be included in the form of filaments, which are in the form of characters placed in a medium of magnetic pigment (see Fig.6 and 7). The color indicator (2) and microdisplay (3) are equipped with a symbol identifier detector (8) (see Figure 4), which consists of an upper active layer (9), which is a magnetic layer and a lower passive magnetic layer (10), containing magnetic pigment. Passive magnetic layer (see Fig.6) is made of conductive paint with the inclusion of magnetic powder with the addition of magnetic pigment. Together, paint, magnetic powder and magnetic pigment react to changes in the magnetic field. The symbol identifier detector also includes a polymer layer (11), on which the upper and lower magnetic layers (9, 10) are placed, as well as a polymer structure (12), in which the magnetic layers of the lower magnetic layer (10), in which the polymer is an insulator for them. Both layers, both passive and active, are made of conductive paint with the inclusion of magnetic powder. In the passive magnetic (9) layer, magnetic powder, which is a magnetic pigment, is also added to the magnetic paint.

In this case, magnetic powders are magnetic information carriers, and magnetic pigments are magnetic powders that change color depending on the magnetic field.

The identifier detector of the symbol identifier also includes the membrane of the identifier detector (13), which activates the upper active magnetic layer (9) in direct contact with it.

Magnetic layers are isolated from each other by a polymer layer (11).

The active magnetic layer (9) is made of magnetic powder, which is placed in the conductive paint in the form of cells (see Fig.6). Conductive paint is placed around the magnetic powder in the form of honeycombs. The passive magnetic layer (10) is made of magnetic powder, which is a pigment mixed with conductive paint, and this mixture is separated by a polymer structure, which is an insulator. The polymer structure (12) is also made in the form of cell cells in which conductive paint with magnetic pigment is placed. In this case, both the magnetic pigment of the passive layer and the magnetic powder of the active layer have a predetermined ratio of magnetic characteristics that depend on the magnetic field created by the membrane (13) and the resonant circuit (5). The material of the magnetic layers (9 and 10) has constant magnetic characteristics over a given period of time relative to a given decay rate over a given period of time of one of the characteristics that allows one to determine one or another control parameter. Such a dependence can be realized due to the generation of a magnetic field by the resonant circuit (5) in proportion to the energy stored by the transponders, of which the resonant circuit (5) consists. The energy accumulated by the transponders is proportional to the energy transmitted to the transponder from the device for storing current information from sensors that monitor one or another parameter, such as temperature, pressure, etc. The resonant circuit (5) is an antenna cobweb or grid made in the form of a CHIP, including passive-active antennas, the function of which is performed by transponders.

Thus, the color indicators (2) can perform the following functions (see Fig. 14):

“A” is an indicator that either “lights up” - a bright color, i.e. the goods are good, or “went out” - dark color - the goods are not good, which means, for example, that the expiration date has expired, or the label’s information base has been violated, or the package has been opened, etc. depending on the controlled parameter.

“B” - the indicator is on (normally closed), which keeps the circuit operational, or the indicator is off, i.e. the circuit is open, which means, for example, that the goods have been paid, or vice versa, the indicator works as normally open, for example, when a fire is notified, the excise stamp is removed from the product, the buyer is personified when paying with a credit card, etc.

“C” is an indicator that shows the gradation of color, whether there were violations in the regime of the environment in which the products are stored, or in violation of the characteristics of the product itself, for example, temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. In this case, the consumer will see the color of the pigment, indicating either “without violations”, or “with slight deviations”, or “the regime is violated, the product is unsuitable”.

The microdisplay (3) includes an optical layer (14) with optical elements (15) and a reflective layer (16). The optical layer is made of glass microspheres (17), layer-by-layer embedded in a polymer gasket (18). The optical layer can also be made of metal particles (19) layer-by-layer embedded in a polymer gasket (20). Both glass microspheres and metal particles can be combined into blocks (see Fig. 12). Metal particles do not touch each other. Metal particles and microspheres are coated with a metal layer that forms a reflective layer (16), which provides the reflectivity of these particles or blocks. The optical microdisplay layer (3) has two layers - the first reflective layer (21) and the second reflective layer (22) (see Fig. 8). Each reflective layer is made in the form of a discrete layer having a special structure of inclusions (23) divided into electrically isolated sections formed of thin-film metal shells deposited on metal particles or glass microspheres combined into blocks (see Fig. 12). One performs the function of the first reflective layer (21), and the second performs the function of the second reflective layer (22) and is the opposite layer. Each reflective layer (21 and 22) is provided on at least those metal particles or glass microsphere blocks that are located above the region or regions of the antenna or communication antennas of the resonant circuit (5), and a magnetic active layer (24) is placed between the optical layers and a magnetic passive layer (25), which are made similar to the magnetic layers (9 and 10) of the color indicator (2). The resonant circuit (5) of the microdisplay (3) is made in such a way that its resonant frequency is equal to the sum of two different modulation frequencies of the radiation of the active radio frequency emitter, and the resonant circuit (5) includes a passive radiator that emits a response from the active radio frequency emitter at the indicated total frequency ( antennas) of a semiconductor circuit (4) a tone-modulated signal reflecting the characteristics of a radio frequency identification module (26) of a semiconductor circuit (4). The active emitter of the resonant circuit (5) emits a back-up signal. The resonant circuit (5) is made as the spatial structure of the integrated circuit, forming an antenna network consisting of passively active antennas - transponders, and is placed on the indicator flexible type-setting film plate (1) in each color indicator (2) and microdisplay (3). Moreover, the metal particles (19) of the optical element (15) can be angular reflectors and can be made in the form of prisms. A polymer gasket (18) for optical elements is made of glass, or plastic, or a polymer film, or ceramic, or mica, as well as a polymer layer (11). The radiation of each resonant circuit (5) is tone-modulated respectively by one radio frequency identification module (26). Both the color indicator symbol identifier detector (2) and the first reflection layer (21) of the microdisplay (3) are covered with a protective layer (34).

The microdisplay can reflect information on the optical layer (21), which is the first reflective layer, in the form of labels that are displayed on the basis of the program embedded in the resonant circuit chip (5), it is placed above the active magnetic layer (24), and can reflect information based on the color change of the pigment that is transmitted through the second reflective layer, opposite (22) from the passive magnetic layer (25), which is located under the second reflective layer (22).

The semiconductor circuit (4) (see Figure 5) with a nonlinear impedance for summing radio frequency signals received from sensors located in an external quality control system, contains a resonant circuit (27), including an active radio frequency emitter, the radiation of which is modulated in frequency by the two nearest frequencies equal to the arithmetic average of frequencies selected for operation in a given range, and a receiving antenna, as well as at least one microprocessor (28) in the form of an integrated circuit, a storage device for current information and (29) in the form of receiving sensors with a memory unit, which stores information received from each external sensor of the quality control system, a comparison unit (30) of the received information and stored information in the set parameters storage device (31), the set parameters storage device (31 ), the number of which should correspond to the number of controlled characteristics, the storage device for the specified parameters is also a carrier of the information required for product identification, the activation matrix (32) in the form of a narrow a band-pass receiver for receiving and demodulating a carrier signal by subtracting the RF signal and its harmonics with detecting the modulating low-frequency signal, a power supply unit (33) of the semiconductor circuit and a radio frequency identification unit (module) (26).

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The device operates as follows.

The manufacturer of the indicator label places on the film plate (1) as many color indicators (2) and / or microdisplays (3) as it is necessary to control the parameters of the goods. The passive magnetic layer (10) of each symbol identifier detector is selected according to the magnetic characteristics that correspond to a given decay rate of the magnetic field in the layer, which corresponds, for example, to the product storage time. In the case of monitoring, for example, the storage temperature of the product when the magnetic field of the passive layer (10) is exposed to the magnetic field of the active magnetic layer (9), which increases (decreases), respectively, with a decrease or increase in storage temperature, the specified attenuation rate of the magnetic field of the passive layer increases, which affects the color change of the pigment. The magnetic field of the active magnetic layer is adjusted in accordance with the program stored in the chip of the antenna spider line (grid) of the resonant circuit (5) of the color indicator or microdisplay, or based on the received radio frequency signal from the resonant circuit (27) of the semiconductor circuit (4). In this case, microcurrents are generated from the resonant circuit (5) in the membrane (13), which create a magnetic field in the active magnetic layer (9). Moreover, the surface of the passive magnetic layer (10), in which there is a magnetic pigment, darkens or brightens. If magnetic paint with magnetic pigment is embedded in the passive layer in the form of threads depicting symbols, then these symbols are displayed or disappear. In addition, when exposed to the active magnetic layer (9), in which the magnetic powder is included, by the magnetic field of the resonant circuit (5), transmitting signals received from the resonant circuit (27) during activation of the indicator label, on a magnetic information carrier, which is magnetic powder, all the required data on the manufacturer, excise stamps, carriers, etc., which can be transmitted by radio frequency irradiation to the antenna of the reader of the controller, is recorded. Activation takes place by means of an RF signal supplied to the activation matrix (32) of the semiconductor circuit (4), which in turn connects the storage device of the set parameters (31) to the resonant circuit (27). Thus, the preparation and operation of both the color indicator and the microdisplay takes place. In addition, the microdisplay, due to the presence of reflective layers (21, 22), which are devices for displaying information stored in the active magnetic layer (24), displays the requested information. Information is requested by means of an active emitter available from the controlling organization, the signal from which receives the resonant circuit (5) of the microdisplay (3). In addition, the microdisplay screen due to the presence of a passive magnetic layer (25) of the symbol identification detector through the optical layers (21, 22) is highlighted with a color that corresponds to the state of the product quality characteristic.

Signs are displayed on the reflective layers when requesting information and are visible due to the internal illumination that occurs when the active magnetic layer (24) of the symbol identification detector is irradiated with an active antenna of the resonant circuit (5) located behind the reflective layer (21). In this case, the reflective layer (21) is reflective for the light incident from the front side of the passive magnetic layer (25), and transmitting for light propagating from the side of the active magnetic layer (24). Thus, the microdisplay can be double-sided, on which, on one side of the label on the reflective layer (21), the backlight of the passive magnetic layer (25) is visible, and on the other hand, the requested information is visible on the reflective layer (21) on the other side, which is located on side of the active magnetic layer (24) (see Fig.9). Both color indicators and microdisplays can be combined based on a single symbol identifier detector.

The time intervals, as well as the decay rate of the magnetism level of the magnetic layers, are programmed using the information recorded in the storage device of the set parameters (31), as well as the microprocessor (28). They are controlled using a comparison unit (30), a current information storage device (29), a radio frequency identification unit (26), and a resonant circuit (27). The label is activated using the activation matrix (32), and it is impossible to enable or disable the launched label device with the information prescribed by the manufacturer. The power supply unit (33) is connected only at the moment of image change or sound signal, etc. and is not required to maintain the operation of transponders, which greatly saves batteries and has little effect on the operation of the device.

When reading information from the active magnetic layer (9) of the color indicator, information is displayed on the display of the controller receiving the signal from the device. This signal can also be transmitted to a central computer.

The coordinating node of the system is a communication terminal and a central processing unit (CPU). The RAM of the CPU stores operational data about the current situation, data from the ROM, which stores the rules for low-level interaction along with other modules, data and capabilities of the CPU or ROM. The CPU determines the behavior of the system as a whole. The CPU generates programs of operating modes and monitoring the state of system elements, and also controls the structure of heterogeneous data flows, the algorithms of the storage and color change databases from the selected and valid mode. All system-level events are received and analyzed by the CPU in real time.

Thus, the proposed technical device ensures the achievement of a technical result, is new and industrially applicable.

Labels with microchips and transponder antennas allow you to read information without contact, at a distance of 1 to 100 meters or more, to prevent theft from trading floors, libraries, etc. Labels are the basis of the latest systems of logistics of goods or accounting in warehouses. They can simultaneously work as electronic indicators of the shelf life of products. Small size, the possibility of production separately from the packaging, for example, self-adhesive indicators, the possibility of programming the expiration date, various design options - circle, triangle, square - significantly expand the scope of their application.
