In this paper, we present a switched beamforming RFID reader and propose a convenient shopping system using it. The smart gate with the switched beamforming RFID reader(s) improves tag detection probability, tag false alarm probability, automatic detection functionality of shopping system compared to existing RFID based systems. The proposed system consists of a smart gate to read and verify the tags within cart, a check-out counter to approve customer purchase, and a central server to manage inventory & delivery and to analyze customer purchase trend. The proposed shopping system is more practical, convenient, and cost-effective to A/S than existing RFID shopping systems.

The passive UHF RFID tags for item-level tagging are now explosively used in the supply chain and retail applications as they have several advantages, the two most relevant are cost and a longer read range. However, the signal interference problem between RFID tags and smart devices in real world is expected according to the smart-phone and tablet market growth together. The performance of RFID tags can be significantly less. The popular examples are the read-success rates and read range reduction. Especially, KT Corp. recently emphasized the serious signal interference at 900 MHz of LTE and old RFID frequencies through their public demonstration. By popular demands, this paper suggests the interference tolerance measurement method between the passive UHF RFID tag and the transmitted signal from a smart device. In addition, we selected three passive UHF RFID tags(Inlay) available on the market and quantitatively evaluated read range reduction results by interference signals using the PCR(Performance Change Rates) index. As a result, the LTE system is about three times as effective as the WCDMA system in terms of interference effects, and the read range performance of two RFID tags about 60 % drop.

Recently, RFID-based mobile robot navigation technology for the study is on the march. Obstacle avoidance using existing RFID tag technology, the target is immediately recognizable through Stored in the tag for obstacle size and shape information. However, this technique is not easy to recognize a moving obstacle. In this paper, in order to this solve problem, mobile robot obstacle avoidance system is proposed using smart RFID tags attached to the ultrasonic sensor. Proposed system used Smart RFID tag is designed to the 900Mhz tags attached ultrasonic sensors. And captured moving obstacles information deliver mobile robot. Mobile robot modify driving information through delivery information. And the system keeps track of the best driving route. Usefulness of the proposed system was confirmed by simulations and experiments.

This paper proposed a new concept of information space called Smart Floor. Smart Floor is an intelligent space where a mobile robot can read and write specific information through Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags which are mounted on Smart Floor to drive its goal position. RFID tag packaging technology is described for building Smart Floor. Also a mobile robot equipped passive RFID System with ultra high frequency (UHF) bandwidth has developed. The information that consists of an absolute position in the Smart Floor and desired direction saved on RFID tags is a simulated Q-value based on Q-learning algorithm. Proposed Smart Floor will be a proper method to communicate between space and robot.

This paper presents smart laundry management system using wireless Radio Frequnecy Identification (RFID) reader for efficient managing a large amount of laundry and clothing. The proposed system is comprised of wireless RFID hanger, base module connected on PC, and server system. The wireless RFID hanger with RFID reader read RFID tag attached on clothes and transmit tag information using wireless communication. The server system manage customers and his clothing using Database (DB) and display the information on the web page and smart phone devices. Since the proposed system operates with battery, we can evaluate its lifetime to measure current consumption. The designed system can be utilized to manage quantities of clothes and also it will be a good service to improve efficiency of laundry process.

To guarantee security between the tag and back-end server and implementation efficiency in low power tag, we propose two typed mutual authentication protocols in RFID system. One is static-ID authentication scheme which is well suitable in distributed server environments. The other is dynamic-ID scheme which is additively satisfied forward security. In proposed scheme, it does not need any random number generator in tag and requires only one(maximally three) hash operation(s) in tag or server to authenticate each other. Furthermore, we implement the proposed schemes in RFID smart card system and verify its normal operations.

Recently, much research has been actively conducted for a new kind of network environment ubiquitous computing. This paper will define the smart-tag technology required by a ubiquitous environment. We will describe how to apply smart-tag-related Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) research for GIS in underground social infrastructure, a local-area wireless-communication technology. Application development is important that will be able to materialize a network environment. This research promotes various application developments, such reason currently it establishes the IT 839 from domestic. The geographic information system construction is a part of IT 839. The research which is various becomes accomplished for the ubiquitous of social base facility from domestic. Consequently, in this paper analyzes the geographic information system of existing, researches based RFID underground social infrastructure management system development. The Proposed method is complements the method of existing, and is efficient for underground social infrastructure. This system is new management system for underground social infrastructure, and provides safe administrator function using authentication of active RFID tag. It provides real processing and autonomy of administrator.

This paper presents a 13.56 MHz RFID reader that can be used as a door-lock system for smart home security. The RFID reader consists of a transmitter, a receiver, and a data processing block. To verify the operation of the developed RFID reader, we present both a PSPICE simulation for transmitter/receiver and a digital simulation for data processing block. In particular, a CRC block for error detection of received data and a Manchester decoding block for position detection of collided data are designed using VHDL. In addition, we applied a binary search algorithm for multi-tag anti-collision. The anti-collision procedure is carried out by PIC microcontroller on software. The experimental results show that the developed reader can provide the right multi-tag recognition.

The Wireless Ad Hoc network is discussed as a core technology for ubiquitous computing, and the smart tag technology is currently being actively discussed as a part of the sensor network. Thus, considering its security may advance the realization of ubiquitous computing. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology using the smart tag technology as a part of the sensor network is currently in the limelight. In particular, when RFID is applied to a knowledge management system managing various data, data mobility and management convenience are ensured and automated knowledge service can be provided to users. Accordingly, this paper to proposed a secure scheme for mobility knowledge management systems using multi-agents differentiated from the existing knowledge management systems. Specifically, the proposed scheme designates user's authentication and privilege information in multi-agents and provides effective knowledge service through grouping based on user information. Moreover, even user's movement, the proposed scheme ensures service availability and provides continuous information through communication with multi-agent systems.
