Description

Re-tagged item tracking system

This novel invention relates to an item tracking system, in particular to an item tracking system with repeatable marking.

In daily life, many daily necessities look similar, and it is difficult to identify the owner, resulting in endless cases of misidentification and mistaking of items. Although commercially available name tags can directly mark the owner's name on the item, commercially available name tags cannot be reused. Once the owner of the item changes, the commercially available name tags can only be removed, and the name of the owner cannot be changed accordingly.

Furthermore, although current electronic name tags provide a repeated marking function, the aforementioned electronic name tags only provide a user display function. Users must read the mark on the electronic name tag themselves and then identify the owner of the item, which is not conducive to use.

The main purpose of this new model is to solve the problem that the conventional object marking mechanism is not conducive to users quickly identifying the owner of the object.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a re-markable object tracking system, comprising an object target and a tracking module, wherein the object target is arranged on an object to be tracked, the tracking module has a target sensor for sensing the object target, a communication port allowing a client to access, a memory unit connected to the communication port, and an operation unit connected to the memory unit and the target sensor, the memory unit stores a description of the tag data associated with the object target, when the communication port is connected to the client and receives a modification data, the operation unit modifies the tag data based on the modification data, and compares the object target with the modified tag data.

In one embodiment, the tracking module has a result prompt unit connected to the computing unit and capable of generating a prompt based on the comparison result.

In one embodiment, the result prompt unit is selected from at least one of the following: a display screen, at least one light-emitting element, and at least one sound effect generating element.

In one embodiment, the item tracking system includes an input module connected to the communication port, and the input module receives an input command from the client to generate the modification data.

In one embodiment, when the client is an external electronic device, the communication port communicates with the external electronic device in a wired or wireless manner.

In one embodiment, the wireless communication method between the communication port and the external electronic device is selected from at least one of the following: Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communication (NFC).

According to the aforementioned novel content, compared with the conventional technology, the novel has the following characteristics: the object tracking system of the novel can provide a repeated marking function.

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the present invention (II).

The detailed description and technical content of the new model are as follows with the help of the diagrams: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. The new model provides an item tracking system 10. The item tracking system 10 allows the user to track and identify the owner of an item 70 to be tracked, and allows the user to repeatedly mark the item 70 to be tracked.

The item tracking system 10 includes an object target 11 and a tracking module 12. The object target 11 is set on the item to be tracked 70 and moves with the item to be tracked 70. The object target 11 is used as the object to be identified by the item tracking system 10. In order to properly set the object target 11 on the item to be tracked 70, the object target 11 can be connected to the item to be tracked 70 by gluing, welding, etc. It should be understood that the aforementioned connection method is not limited to the above examples. Any connection method that can provide the object target 11 to be set on the item to be tracked 70 can be used as the implementation of the item tracking system 10.

Continuing from above, the tracking module 12 has a target sensor 121, a communication port 122, a memory unit 123 and a computing unit 124. The target sensor 121 serves as a sensor of the tracking module 12. The sensing method of the target sensor 121 matches the object target 11. For example, when the object target 11 is a sensing chip, the target sensor 121 can be a sensor for sensing the sensing chip. The target sensor 121 senses the object target 11, and then provides the tracking module 12 with the ability to identify the object target 11 based on the sensing result.

In addition, the communication port 122 serves as a communication window between the item tracking system 10 and a client terminal 20 to allow the client terminal 20 to access, and the memory unit 123 is connected to the communication port 122 and serves as a database of the item tracking system 10, that is, the memory unit 123 stores a tag data 125, and the tag data 125 describes the content associated with the object target 11, such as the holder of the item 70 to be tracked corresponding to the object target 11, the first tagging time, the last data modification time, etc. The memory unit 123 allows the client terminal 20 to access the item tracking system 10 and then check or extract the tag data 125. Furthermore, the computing unit 124 is connected to the memory unit 123, the communication port 122 and the object target 11. It should be noted that the computing unit 124 and the memory unit 123 of the present invention can be two independent electronic components on a circuit board, or can be integrated together on a chip component with computing and storage functions. The computing unit 124 acts as a database manager and provides a computing comparison function. The computing unit 124 can compare the marking data 125 with the object target 11 based on the sensing of the object target 11 and the target sensor 121. When the marking data 125 is modified, the computing unit 124 can compare the object target 11 based on the modified marking data 125.

The implementation of the item tracking system 10 will be explained in detail below. Assuming that the tag data 125 has been set initially, once the client 20 intends to modify the tag data 125, the item tracking system 10 allows the client 20 to access through the communication port 122, and allows the communication port 122 to receive a modification data 21 from the client 20. Thereafter, the calculation unit 124 modifies the tag data 125 based on the modification data 21, and allows the memory unit 123 to store the modified tag data 125. When the target sensor 121 senses the object target 11, the computing unit 124 retrieves the modified tag data 125 from the memory unit 123 again, and compares the modified tag data 125 with the object target 11 to identify the object 70 to be tracked.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the novel object tracking system 10 can provide a repeated marking function. Once the marking data 125 associated with the object target 11 is modified, the calculation unit 124 can compare the modified marking data 125, so that the user can quickly identify the information of the object 70 to be tracked.

Continuing from the above, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 again. The tracking module 12 of the present invention can be disposed on a wristband 71 for the user to carry with him/her. In addition, in order to provide users with a more intuitive way to identify the comparison results, in one embodiment, the tracking module 12 has a result prompt unit 126, and the result prompt unit 126 is connected to the calculation unit 124. The result prompt unit 126 can generate a prompt based on the comparison result of the calculation unit 124. The result prompt unit 126 can provide prompts in visual, auditory, and other ways. For example, when the result prompt unit 126 prompts in a visual way, the result prompt unit 126 can be a display screen with text or graphics as the prompt, or at least one light-emitting element (as shown by label 711), the comparison result is displayed with changing lighting effects. In addition, when the result prompt unit 126 is performed in an auditory manner, the result prompt unit 126 can be a sound effect generator and serve as the prompt according to the sound effect changes.

In another embodiment, the novel item tracking system 10 may further include an input module 127, which is connected to the communication port 122 to provide the client 20 with an input function. The input module 127 generates the modification data 21 after receiving an input command 22 input by the client 20, and transmits the modification data 21 to the communication port 122.

On the other hand, please refer to FIG. 4 , in one embodiment, when the client 20 is an external electronic device 72, the communication port 122 communicates with the external electronic device 72 in a wired or wireless manner, and the wireless communication method between the communication port 122 and the external electronic device 72 is selected from at least one of the following: Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communication (NFC).
