Description

物品定位方法、终端、无源RFID标签及RFID读卡器 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种物品定位方法、终端、无源射频识别(Radio Frequency Identification,简称RFID)标签及RFID读卡器。
背景技术
无源射频识别(Passive RFID)技术被广泛使用于物品识别与追踪。一个基于RFID的物品识别追踪系统包含一个或多个RFID读卡器,读卡器天线,与读卡器相连的服务器,以及大量贴附于被追踪物品的无源RFID标签。无源RFID标签可分为两部分,标签天线和标签芯片。因为无源RFID标签采用反向散射通信原理,标签芯片利用从RFID读卡器收集的能量运行,所以无源RFID标签不需要携带电池,标签体积小,方便贴附或夹藏于物品中,也不需要充电或是更换电池。利用反向散射通信原理的无源RFID标签,成本低,体积小,不需要后期维护。其应用场景不仅局限于toB的物流追踪,也可以扩展至toC的物品追踪。
在相关技术中,基于RFID的物品识别追踪系统最大的应用难题是无源RFID标签的读取距离,通常无源RFID标签的读取距离小于10米。此距离被定义为无源RFID标签与读卡器天线之间的距离。当前,能有效增加读取距离的方法为采用多读卡器天线,此种方案虽然能提升读取距离,但是成本高,而且并没有实质提升读卡器天线与无源RFID标签的读取距离。
因此,在相关技术中存在不能实质提升无源RFID标签的读取距离的技术问题。
针对上述的问题,目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种物品定位方法、终端、无源RFID标签及RFID读卡器,以解决相关技术中存在的不能实质提升无源RFID标签的读取距离的技术问题,进而可以有效提高无源RFID标签的读取距离。

第九方面,提供了一种RFID读卡器,包括处理器和存储器。该存储器用于存储计算机程序,该处理器用于调用并运行该存储器中存储的计算机程序,执行上述第三 方面或其各实现方式中的方法。
第十方面,提供了一种芯片,用于实现上述第一方面至第三方面中的任一方面或其各实现方式中的方法。具体地,该芯片包括:处理器,用于从存储器中调用并运行计算机程序,使得安装有该芯片的设备执行如上述第一方面至第三方面中的任一方面或其各实现方式中的方法。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种终端设备(或称为通信终端、终端)。作为在此使用的“终端设备”包括但不限于经由有线线路连接,如经由公共交换电话网络(Public Switched Telephone Networks,PSTN)、数字用户线路(Digital Subscriber Line,DSL)、数字电缆、直接电缆连接;和/或另一数据连接/网络;和/或经由无线接口,如,针对蜂窝网络、无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)、诸如DVB-H网络的数字电视网络、卫星网络、AM-FM广播发送器;和/或另一终端设备的被设置成接收/发送通信信号的装置;和/或物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)设备。被设置成通过无线接口通信的终端设备可以被称为“无线通信终端”、“无线终端”或“移动终端”。移动终端的示例包括但不限于卫星或蜂窝电话;可以组合蜂窝无线电电话与数据处理、传真以及数据通信能力的个人通信系统(Personal Communications System,PCS)终端;可以包括无线电电话、寻呼机、因特网/内联网接入、Web浏览器、记事簿、日历以及/或全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)接收器的PDA;以及常规膝上型和/或掌上型接收器或包括无线电电话收发器的其它电子装置。终端设备可以指接入终端、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的PLMN中的终端设备等。
可选地,终端设备之间可以进行设备到设备(Device to Device,D2D)通信。
应理解,本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B, 可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
图1是本申请实施例应用的无源RFID标签的结构示意图,如图1所示,无源RFID标签分为两部分,标签天线与标签芯片。无源RFID标签采用反向散射原理进行无源RFID标签与RFID读卡器的通信。所以标签芯片内不含发射机。运行标签芯片的能量来自于标签天线收集到的来自于RFID读卡器发射的能量。如图1所示,标签芯片内部分为两个部分,一个部分是将交流RF能量转化为直流(DC)的整流器电路。此电路输出的DC电压为标签芯片供给能量。另一部分则为RF接收机,将从标签天线中收集的信号进行解码处理。芯片逻辑电路通过通、断天线接地实现对散射信号的编码从而将信息反馈给RFID读卡器。
以下是对影响无源RFID标签的读取距离的因素的说明。
由于无源RFID标签没有发射机,基于RFID的物品识别追踪系统是一个无源RFID系统,它是一个双向通讯系统(two-way communication)。根据弗里斯传输(friis transmission)公式,无源RFID标签接收的能量可表达为公式1。

其中,

为标签天线接收到的能量,

为读卡器发射的能量,G reader为读卡器天线增益,G tag为标签天线增益,λ为发射能量波长,D为读卡器天线与标签天线距离。
同理,读卡器天线接收到的能量可表达为公式2。

其中,

为读卡器天线接收到的能量。
Figure PCTCN2020076266-appb-000006
为标签散射能量其可表达为公式3。
Figure PCTCN2020076266-appb-000007
其中,α为基于标签天线特性的反向散射损耗。将公式3,公式1,带入到公式2.可以得到公式4。
Figure PCTCN2020076266-appb-000008
无源RFID标签的读取距离与RF接收机的灵敏度成正比。灵敏度即为能使标签芯片正常工作的最低能量。从公式1,公式4可以看出,灵敏度越好(数值越低),则读取距离越长。表1是几种常见无源RFID标签的标签芯片的灵敏度。
表1
Passive RFID tag IC Sensitivity
Monza R6 -22dBm
Monza M730 -24dBm
Monza 5 -20dBm
Monza 4D -22dBm
由上述表1可见,无源RFID标签的标签芯片的灵敏度在-20~-24dBm。常见RFID读卡器的灵敏度为-80dBm。由于RFID读卡器的灵敏度远远高于标签芯片的灵敏度,读取距离的计算采用公式1。由此可见,无源RFID系统的读取距离主要受限于标签芯片的灵敏度。
基于上述说明,本申请实施例提出了一种物品定位方法。图2为本申请实施例提供的物品定位方法一的示意性流程图,如图2所示,该方法包括:
S202,终端向无源射频识别RFID标签发射连续波(Continuous Wave,简称CW),其中,该CW用于为RFID标签提供能量,该无源RFID标签设置在物品上,该能量用于RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签基于反向散射通信定位物品。
无源RFID标签的读取距离受限于标签芯片的灵敏度。标签芯片的灵敏度取决于能让芯片逻辑电路正常运行的最小能量(即整流器灵敏度),而非RF接收机的灵敏度。通过上述处理,由终端向无源RFID标签发射的CW为无源RFID标签提供能量,使得标签芯片的灵敏度取决于无源RFID标签中的RF接收机的灵敏度。由于RF接收机的灵敏度高于整流器灵敏度,因此可以有效提高无源RFID标签的读取距离。
需要说明的是,该方法中的终端可以是智能终端,例如,可以是一些智能手机、智能汽车、无人机、机器人等智能终端。
作为一种可选的实施例,在终端向无源RFID标签发射CW之前,还包括:终端选择CW的频率。终端选择CW的频率的方式可以多种,例如,可以从终端中的射频元件可提供的频率范围内选择。较优地,可以对终端的射频元件能够提供的频率范围进行缩小,即可以在相对较小的一段小范围内选择。小范围的确定可以依据经验确定,也可以依据试验得到,可以依据具体情况灵活选择。
在终端选择CW的频率时,为避免对定位过程中所涉及到的通信的影响,可以先获取定位过程中所涉及到的通信的通信频率,依据该通信频率来选择该CW的频率,例如,通过避开该通信频率的方式来选择CW的频率。
例如,在定位过程中涉及到的是RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签进行的反向散射通信,因此,终端可以获取RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签进行反射散射通信的通信频率;之后,终端根据通信频率,选择CW的频率。通过该处理,由于选择的CW的频率避开了RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签所进行的反向散射通信的通信频率,因此,终端向无源RFID发送的CW并不会对该反向散射通信造成干扰。需要说明的是,RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签进行的反向散射通信涉及到RFID读卡器向无源RFID标签发送的散射信号,以及无源RFID标签向RFID读卡器发送的对应的反馈信号,要避免对反向散射通信造成的干扰时,需要分别避免对散射信号以及反馈信号造成的干扰。
作为一种可选的实施例,在RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签基于反向散射通信定位物品时,终端可以接收来自于RFID读卡器的反馈信息,其中,该反馈信息用于指示RFID读卡器是否探测到无源RFID标签;之后,终端显示该反馈信息,其中,显示的反馈信息用于在RFID读卡器未探测到无源RFID标签的情况下,通过移动RFID读卡器的方位来最终定位无源RFID标签。即终端当作显示器指引RFID读卡器定位无源RFID标签,即定位物品。需要说明的是,此处RFID读卡器是否探测到无源RFID标签可以是RFID读卡器向无源RFID发送散射信号,但未收到无源RFID标签向该RFID读卡器返回的反馈信号。造成上述未探测到的原因可能是RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签之间的距离不在读取距离之内,因此,可以通过移动RFID读卡器的方位,使得RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签之间的距离在读取距离之内,从而让RFID读卡器探测到(即定位到)该无源RFID标签。
本申请实施例还提出了一种物品定位方法,图3为本申请实施例提供的物品定位方法二的示意性流程图,如图3所示,该方法包括:
S302,无源射频识别RFID标签接收连续波CW,其中,CW用于为RFID标签提供能量,CW来自终端,RFID标签设置在物品上;
S304,无源RFID标签基于能量与RFID读卡器进行反向散射通信以定位物品。
无源RFID标签的读取距离受限于标签芯片的灵敏度。标签芯片的灵敏度取决于能让芯片逻辑电路正常运行的最小能量(即整流器灵敏度),而非RF接收机的灵敏度。通过上述处理,无源RFID标签接收终端发射的CW用于提供能量,取代了RFID读卡器向无源RFID标签发送的信号所提供的能量,使得标签芯片的灵敏度取决于无源RFID标签中的RF接收机的灵敏度。由于RF接收机的灵敏度高于整流器灵敏度,因此可以有效提高无源RFID标签的读取距离。
作为一种可选的实施例,无源RFID标签基于能量与RFID读卡器进行反向散射通信以定位物品可以包括:无源RFID标签接收散射信号,其中,散射信号来自RFID读 卡器;RFID标签基于能量,向RFID读卡器发送散射信号的反馈信号,其中,反馈信号用于RFID读卡器定位物品。RFID标签基于终端发射的CW所提供的能量来对RFID读卡器发送的散射信号进行解析,得到对应的反馈信号,并将得到的反馈信号发送给RFID读卡器,RFID读卡器基于该反馈信号对无源RFID标签进行定位。通过上述处理,明确了终端发射的CW所提供的能量在物品定位过程中的具体作用。
本申请实施例还提出了一种物品定位方法,图4为本申请实施例提供的物品定位方法三的示意性流程图,如图4所示,该方法包括:
S402,射频识别RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签基于反向散射通信定位物品,其中,该物品上设置有无源RFID标签,该无源RFID标签由终端发射的连续波CW提供能量。
无源RFID标签的读取距离受限于标签芯片的灵敏度。标签芯片的灵敏度取决于能让芯片逻辑电路正常运行的最小能量(即整流器灵敏度),而非RF接收机的灵敏度。通过上述处理,无源RFID标签由终端发射的连续波CW提供能量,使得标签芯片的灵敏度取决于无源RFID标签中的RF接收机的灵敏度。由于RF接收机的灵敏度高于整流器灵敏度,因此可以有效提高无源RFID标签的读取距离,即有效提高RFID读卡器读取无源RFID标签的读取距离,使得RFID读卡器更容易读取到无源RFID标签。
作为一种可选的实施例,RFID读卡器可以将与无源RFID标签进行反向散射通信的通信频率发送给终端,其中,通信频率用于终端选择CW的频率。需要说明的是,RFID读卡器与终端之间所采用的通信方式可以是非RFID通信方式,避免对RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签之间通信的干扰。另外,非RFID通信可以包括多种,例如,可以是蜂窝通信,蓝牙通信,WIFI通信,等等。其中,该蜂窝通信可以是基于上述蜂窝网络所进行的通信。其中,该蜂窝网络可以是全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)网络、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)网络、3G(3rd-Generation)网络、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access,FDMA)网络、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access,TDMA)网络、全入网通信系统(Total Access Communications System,TACS)等。进行蜂窝通信的终端可以是移动终端,例如,可以是进行蜂窝通信的蜂窝电话,与RFID读卡器进行通信,获取RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签进行反向散射通信的通信频率。
对应于上述无源RFID标签与RFID读卡器的通信,对于RFID读卡器而言,RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签基于反向散射通信定位物品包括:RFID读卡器向无源RFID标签发射散射信号;RFID读卡器接收散射信号的反馈信号,其中,反馈信号由RFID标签基于能量发送的;RFID读卡器基于反馈信号定位物品。以上所说明的,此处不再赘述。
作为一种可选的实施例,RFID读卡器定位物品的方法,还可以包括:RFID读卡器向终端发送反馈信息,其中,该反馈信息用于指示该RFID读卡器是否探测到无源RFID标签。终端接收到该反馈信息后进行显示,并显示RFID读卡器未探测到无源RFID标签的情况下,通过移动RFID读卡器的方位来最终定位无源RFID标签。RFID读卡器通过终端的显示来移动方位,从而最终定位无源RFID标签。
本申请实施例还提出了一种物品定位方法,图5为本申请实施例提供的物品定位方法四的示意性流程图,如图5所示,该方法包括:
S502,终端向无源射频识别RFID标签发射连续波CW,其中,该CW用于为RFID标签提供能量,该无源RFID标签设置在物品上;
S504,RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签基于反向散射通信定位物品,其中,无源RFID标签基于能量进行反向散射通信。
通过上述处理,终端向无源RFID标签发射的连续波CW为无源RFID标签提供能量,使得标签芯片的灵敏度取决于无源RFID标签中的RF接收机的灵敏度。由于RF接收机的灵敏度高于整流器灵敏度,因此可以有效提高无源RFID标签的读取距离。
作为一种可选的实施例,该物品定位方法还可以包括:RFID读卡器将与无源RFID标签进行反向散射通信的通信频率发送给终端;终端基于通信频率,选择CW的频率。
作为一种可选的实施例,RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签基于反向散射通信定位物品包括:RFID读卡器将是否探测到无源RFID标签的信息反馈给终端;终端显示信息,其中,显示的信息用于在RFID读卡器未探测到无源RFID标签的情况下,通过移动RFID读卡器的方位来最终定位无源RFID标签。
结合上述实施例及优选实施例,下面以终端为智能终端为例,对本申请所提供的优选实施方式进行说明。
图6为本申请实施例提供的提升无源RFID标签读取距离的物品追踪系统的结构示意图,如图6所示,在访问无源RFID标签时,智能终端发射CW作为给无源RFID标签的外部供电。CW的频率选取由智能终端与RFID读卡器以及服务器获取信息(例如,图6中所示的使用频率)后选取。RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签进行正常RFID反向散射通信。
由上述公式1可知,无源RFID系统中无源RFID标签的读取距离受限于标签芯片的灵敏度。标签芯片的灵敏度取决于能让芯片逻辑电路正常运行的最小能量(即整流器灵敏度),而非RF接收机的灵敏度。智能终端提供的CW可以为标签芯片提供能量,因此标签芯片的灵敏度取决于RF接收机的灵敏度。因为RF接收机的灵敏度高于整流 器灵敏度,从而可提高读取距离。
智能终端不具备RFID通讯芯片,因此,其射频芯片无法进行符合RFID协议的编、解码。但是其射频元件可提供600MHz~6GHZ的CW。此CW可用于无源RFID标签的能量供给。因此,本申请所提供的物品定位方法无需智能终端增加其他硬件器件。
智能终端需要与RFID读卡器及其服务器进行通信。此通信可采用蜂窝,蓝牙,WIFI等非RFID通信方式。智能终端可以获取RFID读卡器的操作频率,从而选取CW的频率,避免干扰RFID读卡器与无源RFID标签的正常通信。
在进行物品追踪定位时,智能终端可以与RFID读卡器进行数据交换。具体定位物品时,用户持智能终端移动,智能终端进行CW能量扫描。RFID读卡器将是否探测到无源RFID标签反馈给智能终端。用户根据智能终端呈现的结果,改变RFID读卡器的移动方位并最终定位无源RFID标签的位置。
通过上述优选实施方式,无需增加硬件成本,结合智能终端,有效提升无源RFID标签的读取距离,为无源RFID标签对应的物品定位提供新的解决方案。
