  • The conductivity of various electro-threads is analyzed, and the washable electro-thread embroidery UHF RFID tag antennas using the character shape without T-matching structure are designed by adding a T-matching structure. The RFID tag antenna using the electro-thread is easy to be embedded on a cloth as a wearable antenna because it is flexible and different from general copper inlay shape and tape type tag. The embroidery tag antennas are designed with the English alphabet 'F' and the Korea alphabet 'ㄹ' character. Those are easy to be applied to general clothes. The parameters of antennas are optimized and fabricated. The characteristics and the reading range patterns of the tag antennas are measured. The reading ranges of wet tags(tap water, sea water and soapy water) are tested and compared.

  • RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) identifies a specific object by radio signals. As the tag provides a unique ID for the purpose of identification, RFID technology effectively solves the ambiguity and occlusion problem that challenges the laser or camera-based approach. This paper proposes an approach to track a moving object based on the integration of RFID and laser ranging information using a particle filter. To be precise, we split laser scan points into different clusters which contain the potential moving objects and calculate the radial velocity of each cluster. The velocity information is compared with the radial velocity estimated from RFID phase difference. In order to achieve the positioning of the moving object, we select a number of K best matching clusters to update the weights of the particle filter. To further improve the positioning accuracy, we incorporate RFID signal strength information into the particle filter using a pre-trained sensor model. The proposed approach is tested on a SCITOS service robot under different types of tags and various human velocities. The results show that fusion of signal strength and laser ranging information has significantly increased the positioning accuracy when compared to radial velocity matching-based or signal strength-based approaches. The proposed approach provides a solution for human machine interaction and object tracking, which has potential applications in many fields for example supermarkets, libraries, shopping malls, and exhibitions.

  • After Freer trade, it is increasing to import crops, aquatic products, and livestock which are produce in a foreign land. But it is affect negatively to trust relationships and markets of Jeju's goods because of breaking it out that foreign productions exchange domestic. We need to traceability system. Therefore, this paper designed and implemented the traceability system of black pigs using RFID. To enhance more the Jeju's fresh image, this proposed system is designed to manage all process which are breeding, butchery, industrial processes, and traceability of black pigs, a local speciality, using RFID tags. also the user can provide the traceability system which is using webs anywhen and anywhere.

  • in this paper, we propose the Adaptive Decision Algorithm for RFID Tag Anti-Collision. We study the RFID Tag anti-collision technique of ALOHA and the anti-collision algorithm of binary search. The existing technique is several problems; the transmitted data rate included of data, the recognition time and energy efficiency. For distinction of all tags, the Adaptive Decision algorithm identify smaller one ,each Tag_ID bit's sum of bit '1'. In other words, Adaptive Decision algorithm had standard of selection by actively, the algorithm can reduce unnecessary number of search even than the exisiting algorithm. The Adaptive Decision algorithm had performance test that criterions were reader's number of repetition and number of transmitted bits for understanding tag. We showed the good performance of Adaptive Decision algorithm better than exisiting algorithm.

  • Most world-leading companies are aware that Environment and Health and Safety Issues are critical to the product quality and sustainable growth of their company. Environment-friendly efforts are seen in almost all aspects of business operations in an advanced nation. The Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR) and EU Directive on Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment(WEEE) attempt to tackle the growing quantity of WEEE by making producers responsible for the costs of the collection and recycling of their products at the End-of-Life(EOL). To implement the RFID-based integration system for EOL household electric appliances, such as washing machines and refrigerators, we analyzed the process of collecting, recovering, and recycling the EOL products returned from the distribution points. Furthermore, we proposed a soon-to-be process using the RFID-based integration system in the metropolitan recycling center(MRC). This soon-to-be process model is composed of RFID tags, readers, ALEs, applications and several devices. Through the introduction of the RFID-based integration system, we are expecting to see increasing traceability and real-time management for EOL products from customers, and also improvements in valuable reusable materials(VRM) produced from recycling processes.

  • A fixed 900 MHz near field RFID system is developed to provide information; market efficiency, jewelry information and the circulation history information in real time, to the customers. The developed RFID system for the jewelry management consists of a reader, antenna and a CPU in a integrated type. The system size is $38\;{\times}\;25\;{\times}\;19\;cm^3$, the operated frequency band of the reader antenna is 905 ~ 926 MHz. The maximum gain of the embedded reader antenna is 5.1 dBii(@ 910 MHz). Honeycomb tag manufactured by RSI Co. is suitable for the jewelry management than another other commercial near field tags. The tagging method and the tagging location of Honeycomb tag are suggested.

  • Reliable Multi-Reader RFID identification is one of issues in Multi-Reader RFID realization program in recent. And the Multi-Reader RFID reader has difficulty to obtain reliable data in data capture layer. The reason is that unreliable readings such as a false positive reading and a false negative reading and missed readings can happen by reader collision problems, noise, or the mobility of tagged objects. We introduce performance metrics to solve these reader problems. We propose three solutions the Minimum Overlapped Read Zone (MORZ) with Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), the Spatial-Temporal Division Access (STDA) method, and double bigger size of tags attached on the object. To show the improvement of the proposed methods, we calculate tag's successful read rates in a smart office, which consists of Multi-Reader RFID systems.

  • This case focuses on the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation, which applied RFID technology as a record management system for efficient record management by identifying the characteristics of the agency's work that requires the management of large and similar nonelectronic records. When issuing RFID tags in conjunction with the business system, the records management system automatically obtains metadata from the system and secures it as a list, and records management personnel actively use it as the basis for overall records management tasks. To that end, the company reorganized its business processes, designed functions that reflect its unique business, and established infrastructure. These resulted in easier identification of the output and holding volume of accurate records, and work efficiency. Finally, people in charge of the work increased their awareness of records management.

  • In this paper, we propose tree-based hybrid query tree architecture utilizing time slot. 4-Bit Pattern Slot Allocation(4-SL) has a 8-ary tree structure and when tag ID responses according to query of the reader, it applies a digital coding method, the Manchester code, in order to extract the location and the number of collided bits. Also, this algorithm can recognize multiple Tags by single query using 4 fixed time slots. The architecture allows the reader to identify 8 tags at the same time by responding 4 time slots utilizing the first bit($[prefix+1]^{th}$, F ${\in}$ {'0' or '1'}) and bit pattern from second ~ third bits($[prefix+2]^{th}{\sim}[prefix+3]^{th}$, $B_2{\in}$ {"00" or "11"}, $B_1{\in}$ {"01" or "10"}) in tag ID. we analyze worst case of the number of query nodes(prefix) in algorithm to extract delay time for recognizing multiple tags. The identification delay time of the proposed algorithm was based on the number of query-responses and query bits, and was calculated by each algorithm.
