One of the common ways of such an electronic article surveillance system is located, for example, at the exit of a retail store, carthouse 15. However, the electronic object monitoring system can also be used for process and inventory control, or tracking of objects as they pass through a particular system, and other uses. Regardless of the purpose, these electronic object monitoring systems typically operate on a common principle. Objects to be monitored are tagged (various types), which contain a circuit (resonance circuit) that reacts with an applied RF field. A transmitter and a transmit antenna are arranged to transmit the RF field, and a receiver and a receive antenna are configured to detect interference in the RF field. The transmitting and receiving antennas are typically located at or near the exit, and the security label can be conveniently detected when the item passes through the exit. If the active circuit of a 5 1289952 tag passes between the transmitting and receiving antennas (they will be placed near the exit point of a designated area), then the applied wave field will be affected' and a detectable The matter arises from the receiver. It can be used to create an appropriate warning. This general type of system is commercially available, for example, from 5 Thorofare, N.J, Checkpoint Systems, Inc., and the like. Due to environmental and management considerations, individual systems typically operate only in a limited area where the security label attached to a protected object can be reliably detected. These areas are typically referred to as preservative areas and are typically limited in width to approximately 6 呎. Although many warehouses and libraries 10 have only a single exit and are the same size as the 6-foot-wide security zone, there are many other retail stores or stores with 8 to 10 exit lanes. Moreover, hypermarkets usually have open area walkways with a width of 10 inches or more to connect their stores. Therefore, in many cases, multiple systems are required to fully protect those ports that are wider than the ones that can be reliably protected by a single system. At the entrance of a hypermarket that needs to be protected, the owner of the store may be reluctant to use the traditional security system with multiple pedestals and antenna structures due to visual aesthetics or marketing considerations. The system that prefers to be invisible' means that the antenna structure will be installed under the entrance floor and/or 20 over the entrance. In addition, the shop owner will generally prefer a non-permanent system to allow the cancer antenna to be easily Placed in different locations, or a system that can be used only for part of the time, can be laid out or stored as needed. There are a number of patents that are used to solve the problems of EAS and RFIC systems. 1289952 For example, No. 6271756 U.S. Patent (Davies, Jr. et al.) discloses a security tag detection and positioning system for detecting a resonant security tag in a security zone and generating a warning signal. The security zone has a plurality of detection zones and contains one day. The line array can transmit an interrogation signal and receive a response signal. The antenna 5 array forms an upper boundary and/or a lower boundary of a security zone, and is horizontally extended. The width and length of the security area. The antenna array includes at least two antennas. The antennas forming the upper and lower boundaries are arranged side by side in a horizontal plane, so that each antenna can be electromagnetically connected to a detection area. The security label detection and positioning system also includes one or more EAS sensors for transmitting a 10 interrogation signal to the antenna array, and the antenna array receives the response signal to generate a warning signal. The security label detection And the positioning system also includes a notification device connected to each EAS sensor to receive the warning signal and display a detection area corresponding to the warning signal. The industry is expected to provide a mobile system, but for this 15 points Any mobile system will have to be carried by a large and cumbersome system due to the large size of the antenna required. φ Finally, chip antennas are also widely known. For example, No. 6369773 US patent (Kashiwagi et al.) discloses a patch antenna comprising a substrate, an antenna element consisting of a conductive material and a carbonaceous layer. The wire element is spliced to the substrate. The main use of the patent is for automotive use. The patent discloses the use of various plastic sheets and films, including, for example, a polyhydrocarbon such as polypropylene, and a poly-S, such as polyethylene. However, there is still no patch antenna that can be used as a monitor. All the cited materials are hereby incorporated by reference. 25 [Summary] 7 1289952 Summary of the Invention A storable antenna system of a security system, comprising: a flexible chip-type electron-emitting component, the flexible film being creasable, and a power supply capable of supplying power to the electron-emitting component. Preferably, the The collection antenna system includes a housing that can accommodate and store the firing element in a retracted state. The transmitting element is collectible in a folded state, and when the security system is to be operated, it can be stretched In a non-retracted state for use. The or a plurality of raised objects extending from the housing can be used to support the radiating elements in the unrolled state. The tall lifts may be telescoping sleeves that extend from the shell 10 body. The lifts may also be wounds each extending between a fixed point of the housing and an edge of the electron-emitting element. The winding may extend between the ceiling above the casing and the edge of the electron-emitting element. In a preferred embodiment, the electron-emitting element can be received in the housing in the state of the curtain. The electron-emitting element can have 15 printed indicia such as an advertising sign thereon. The electron emitting element can be easily replaced in the housing. When a corresponding tag appears in the security zone caused by the system, a warning light adjacent to the electronic transmitting component will be activated. The side-collectable antenna system can be self-contained and can be carried and moved. The housing 2 can be placed under the ground. Moreover, it is preferred that the housing has a cover to provide a passage for stretching the electron-emitting element to a position on the ground. A stack of more eight sheets may also be overlaid on the electron-emitting element. Such sheets may include markings and/or color or pattern designs and the like. The sheets are adhered to the electron-emitting element by an adhesive. Preferably, the adhesive is a temporary adhesive. 1289952 At least - the lift used to support the radiating element in the non-retracted state will extend upwardly from the housing. Alternatively, the lift used to support the launching element in the non-retracted state may also extend horizontally or downwardly from the housing. Finally, the rut is good. The power supply can be operated using a standard 11 (^ Ac power supply (but 5 can also be operated using a battery or other energy source such as solar energy). The drawing briefly illustrates the present invention will be combined with the following diagram In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to refer to the same elements, and wherein: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the collectible antenna system 10 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the transmitting elements are shown Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the housing of the collectible antenna system of Fig. 1, wherein the transmitting element is shown in a retracted state; the younger figure 3 is the removable antenna system of Fig. 1 FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the antenna in the storable antenna system of the first embodiment taken along line 4_4; FIG. 5 is a second preferred embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a collectible antenna system 20 according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing a horizontally mounted state; and FIG. 7 is a storable antenna of FIG. a perspective view of the system showing the drooping [Implementation of the cold state] Detailed description of the preferred embodiment 9 1289952 Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the An antenna system 丨〇. The antenna system ίο includes an electron-emitting element, such as a patch antenna 12. The electro-emissive element 12 should be interpreted broadly as any foldable or rolled flexible 5-piece emitting element that is available The wireless devices (not shown), such as EAS or RFID tags, are transmitted at frequencies and microwaves of HF and UHF. Suitable electronic components are also included in the system (not shown), which are well known and generally available. A power supply 14 can supply power to the radiating element 12. In addition, the power supply can also supply power to retract and unfold the radiating element 12. As in Figures 2 and 3, a housing 16 can be used. The receiving element 12 is housed in the retracted state. In the present system, the so-called "rolling" broadly includes rolling, folding or reducing the length to fit into a smaller volume of space. Transmitting element 12 At least one, and preferably a pair of, lifters 18A, 18B are extended from the housing 16 to support the radiating element 1 in a stretched state 15. In operation, if the radiating element 12 is to be deployed, The user can extend the lifts 18A, 18B. The lifts 18A, 18B are telescopic and can be completely enclosed within the housing 16 when retracted. The lifts can also be self-extending. When the lifts 18A, 18B are fully extended (or when the lifts are elongated), the launching element 12 will be pulled out of the 20 housing 16 and extended adjacent to the lifts 18A, 18B. At the extended end, as shown in Fig. 1, the top end of the radiating element 12 can be fixed to a cross bar 20 to be supported so as to be in a planar state. Preferably, the housing 16 includes a curtain-like device 22 that can smoothly wind the firing element 12 into a retracted state for receipt within the housing 16. 1289952 As shown in Figure 1, the electron-emitting device 12 can have an indicia 25 printed thereon, such as an advertising label. Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 4, the label 25 is printed on at least the individual sheets, such as a sheet of paper or a plastic film, and is attached to the emitting element 12. That is, the sheet 24 can be separated from the hairpin member 12 and the different sheets have different labeling contents, such as different advertisement pictures, or only different colors, etc., and can be easily replaced. As shown in Fig. 4, two sheets 24A and 24B are attached to both faces of the radiating element 12. The sheets 24A, 24B can be adhered to the emissive element 12, e.g., with a temporary adhesive, to enable the sheets 24A, 24B to be easily removed from the emissive element 12. Preferably, the electronic transmitting element 12 is easily replaceable within the housing 16 as is conventional and commercially available. This is particularly advantageous when the indicia are printed directly on the emissive element 12 without the use of the sheets 24A, 24B. 15 the housing 16 or other location on the system 10 adjacent to the radiating element 12, such as a lift 18, may be provided with a warning light 26 or an alarm 28 such as a buzzer or the like, which has an EAS or RHD A label or the like is activated when it appears within the appropriate range of the system 10. As shown in the variant embodiment of Fig. 6, the lifts may also be borders 2A, 30A, 30B extending between a fixed point adjacent or positioned on the housing 216 and the radiating element 212. In the embodiment of Fig. 6, for the sake of simplicity, the same elements as those of the embodiment of Fig. 1 are prefixed with the same number and a "2". For example, the housing in Figure 1 is labeled 16. The redundancy in Figure 6 is labeled 216. The end of each of the viewing lines 3 〇A, 30B will be provided with _ 11 1289952 clasps 31A, 31B to secure the cables 30A, 30B to the floor (as shown in Figure 6), ceiling, wall, or other On a hard surface. As shown in Figure 6, the cables 30A, 30B can be retracted onto the take-up reel 32 within the housing. The housing 16 can be mounted to extend the electron-emitting element 12 in any direction. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the radiating element 12 extends upwardly from the housing. As shown in Figure 6, the radiating element 212 extends downward (e.g., from the ceiling). As also shown in Fig. 7 (which is substantially the same as in Fig. 6 but in a vertical arrangement), the radiating element 212 can also extend horizontally. Other forms along other directions, including an angle to the horizontal or vertical, are also readily known and implemented by professionals. 15 20 It is best that the system can be moved. That is, it is preferred that the housing can be easily lifted and loaded without the need for auxiliary equipment. However, variations of the present invention may also allow the system 110 to be buried underground. Wherein, the housing ι 6 is provided with a cover 34' as shown in Fig. 5, and a passage is provided to pull the radiating element from the ground. This will be especially beneficial for use in the supply store. For example, a home-made modified storefront requires a cart with a wider walkway. Further, similar to the embodiment of Fig. 6, in the embodiment of Fig. 5, for the sake of (10), the same "!" is used as the prefix for the elements of the embodiment of the i-th embodiment.
