Definitions

  • the invention relates to systems and methods for determining information about a product.
  • the invention relates particularly to the remote interrogation of product information and the subsequent use of the acquired information.
  • Consumable goods having a useful life defined in terms of the consumption of the goods are well known.
  • the useful life may be viewed as one or more events associated with the consumption of at least a portion of the useful quantity of the goods.
  • Information associated with the environment of use of the goods and/or the quantity of goods used and remaining available may exist but may also be generally inaccessible to the typical consumer of the goods. What is needed is a system and method for extracting product relevant information in a manner which makes the information readily accessible and usable by the consumer.
  • a sensor system comprises a tag.
  • the tag comprises at least one sensor, an analog to digital converter, a radio-frequency chip, and a first antenna.
  • the chip may be an active or passive chip.
  • the sensor is adapted to provide an output analogous to a change in an environment of the sensor.
  • the sensor produces an analog output and includes output terminals.
  • the analog to digital converter is adapted to convert an analog output of the sensor to a digital value.
  • the analog to digital converter includes input and output terminals.
  • the input terminals of the analog to digital converter are disposed in electrical communication with the output terminals of the sensor.
  • the passive radio-frequency chip comprises a memory element, input terminals and output terminals. The input terminals are disposed in electrical communication with the output terminals of the analog to digital converter.
  • the first antenna is disposed in electrical communication with the output terminals of the chip.
  • a method of determining product information includes the steps of: providing a product comprising a tag, and an interrogator adapted to detect radiation associated with the data of the tag; interrogating the state of the tag; interpreting the state of the tag; and providing an output associated with the interpreted state of the tag.
