摘要:
In one embodiment, a printed LED area comprises a random arrangement of printed LEDs and a wavelength conversion layer. The LED area is embedded in an object to be authenticated, such as a credit card or a casino chip. The object may include a light guide for enabling the generated light to be emitted from any portion of the object. In one embodiment, when the LEDs are energized during authentication of the object, the existence of light emitted by the object is sufficient authentication and/or provides feedback to the user that the object is being detected. For added security, the emitted spectrum vs. intensity and persistence of the wavelength conversion layer is detected and encoded in a first code, then compared to valid codes stored in the database. If there is a match, the object is authenticated.

A method for reading poker chips according to one embodiment includes sending out an interrogation signal; receiving responses from poker chips in response to the interrogation signal, each of the poker chips comprising a circuit and an antenna coupled to the circuit, wherein the antenna minimally affects electromagnetic RF fields surrounding the antenna even in the vicinity of the antenna; and determining a value of the poker chips from which responses are received. A poker chip according to another embodiment includes a circuit on or within a substrate; and an antenna coupled to the circuit, wherein the antenna minimally affects electromagnetic RF fields surrounding the antenna even in the vicinity of the antenna. Additional systems and methods are disclosed.

Antennas 21 generate electromagnetic waves that cause an RFID tag to generate electricity, the RFID tag being provided in a game chip placed on an upper surface of a betting board 4. A plurality of the antennas 21 are provided in association with each bet portion 3 on the betting board 4. Antennas 31 receive a signal from the RFID tag. Each of the antennas 31 is provided in association with the plurality of antennas 21. A set of the plurality of antennas 21 associated with the respective antennas 31 is driven while successively being changed over among the antennas 21, for each set of the antennas 21 associated with each antenna 31. Further, each antenna 31 is driven at least while any of the plurality of antennas 21 associated with this antenna 31 generates electromagnetic waves.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an ID tag package including a structure covering an ID tag therein. The structure has a thickness necessary for reducing attenuation of electromagnetic wave caused by existence of metal or water external to the ID tag, and includes at least an elastic layer enabling reduction of external stresses. An RFID system using the package is also provided.

A token coin and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The token coin with an RF label embedded therein may be used as a disposable coin or a fixed amount coin. Although the token coin is manufactured through insert-injection molding with the RF label embedded therein, the RF label is not damaged by the high temperature of the molding process. The token coin includes a coin body (10) fabricated from first and second discs (12, 14) each having a depression (16) at a central portion thereof. The RF label (20) is disposed in the depressions (16) of the coin body (10). The coin body (10) having the RF label (20) is, thereafter, inserted in an insert-injection mold and is subjected to an insert-injection molding process so that an outer ring 30 is integrally formed around the circumferential edge of the coin body (10), thus providing a token coin.

A “semi-transparent” antenna and Radio Frequency (RF) device implementing the same. The semi-transparent antenna gathers some of the RF energy in a carrier signal, but most of the energy in the RF wave does not couple into the antenna. Accordingly, because the antenna minimally affects the electromagnetic RF fields surrounding the antenna even in the vicinity of the antenna, assemblies of objects carrying the RF devices can be formed while maintaining acceptable communications with the RF devices.

This device comprises: an entrance (3) allowing a token (1) to be inserted into the reading and collecting device; a radio transmitting-receiving circuit (5) placed so that it can read a token (1) in an area (2) upstream of the entrance (3) of the device, such that a token (1) can be read before it is inserted into the entrance (3); a flap (11c) for preventing a token being inserted into the entrance (3) of the reading and collecting device when this medium is not recognized as valid on reading; a container (7) for collecting the tokens which are recognized as valid by the reading means (5, 6).
摘要:
A coin-type IC card reader/writer comprises a coin-type IC card distributing unit provided in a coin-type IC card guide path, for performing the processing of reading data from the coin-type IC card and writing data to the coin-type IC card while temporarily stopping the rolling movement of the coin-type IC card, and, based on results of the processing, distributing the coin-type IC card to another coin-type IC card guide path disposed separately from the first-mentioned coin-type IC card guide path.
摘要:
A coin-shaped IC tag which can be endowed with a predetermined weight is described. The coin-shaped IC tag ensures a normal operation and affords a satisfactory feeling of weightiness as a value medium. Methods of manufacturing the coin-shaped IC tag are also described. The coin-shaped IC tag comprises an IC tag core. The IC tag core comprises an IC packaging base member including a base and an electronic circuit for communicating data and for recording data, the electronic circuit mounted on the base. The IC tag core also comprises a high specific gravity resin layer joined to the IC packaging base member.
