Patent Application
20060111053
The present invention relates to a radio frequency identification (RFID) system using mobile phone as device of access control and security response, and more particularly, to a RFID system capable of using a mobile phone having a RFID tag arranged therein to issue a short message to a specific system or a specific personnel while the RFID tag is sensed and activated by a RFID transponder of a specific area as the user of the mobile phone enters the specific area so as to accomplish operations of access control, security response, etc.
Recently, there is a growing concern on the personal safety of school kids, not only in campus, and particularly while traveling to the school. Since most parents rely on public transportation to carry their children to school, the worry that kids might meet a certain dangers, even be kidnapped, during the trip to school motivates parents to use various means for ensuring the safety of their children.
There is already a RFID security system for ensuring the safety of school children. The conventional RFID system provides a RFID-tagged ID card for each school kid while installing a RFID transponder either at the entrance of the campus or the classroom, such that the RFID transponder will automatically scan the information of the RFID-tagged ID card for enabling the personal data of the kid corresponding to the ID cad to be converted into an electronic data, and then the electronic data is processed by the campus server for enabling a cooperated telecommunication provider to issue a short message to inform the kid's parents of the time of arrival/leaving of their kid. Nevertheless, the conventional RFID system still has shortcomings as following:
From the above description, it is clear that there is a need for an improved RFID security system capable of satisfying the safety concern of parents on their children while traveling to school.
It is the primary object of the invention to provide a RFID system capable of using a mobile phone having a RFID tag arranged therein to issue a short message to a specific system or a specific personnel while the RFID tag is sensed and activated by a RFID transponder of a specific area as the user of the mobile phone enters the specific area so as to accomplish operations of access control, security response, etc.
It is another object of the invention to provide a RFID-tagged mobile phone for replacing the RFID-tagged ID card of the prior arts, such that the peer pressure against the RFID system is avoid since the mobile phone is considered to be a fashion product to carry and is not required to be taken out for scanning.
Yet, another object of the invention is to provide a RFID system operating cooperatively with the wireless network provided by a telecommunication company for transmitting a short message to a specific person, so that the RFID system of the invention can be maintain with only a few cost pay to the telecommunication company.
Objectives, advantages and applications of the present invention will be made apparent by the following drawings, detailed description of the invention.
For your esteemed members of reviewing committee to further understand and recognize the fulfilled functions and structural characteristics of the invention, several preferable embodiments cooperating with detailed description are presented as the follows.
Please refer to
Assuming the person carrying the mobile phone 12 is a school kid and as the school kid enters a classroom or campus while carrying the mobile phone 12, the RFID tag 121 arranged inside the mobile phone 12 will be detected and activated to enable the mobile to issue a predefined message to a telecommunication provider 13, and thereafter the telecommunication provider 13 will broadcast the message through the networking interface provided by its wireless communication system to the mobile phones 18, 19 and server 19 for informing the parents of the school kid or a campus management personnel that the school kid carrying the mobile phone 12 has already entered the specific area guarded by the RFID transponder 11 so as to accomplish operations of access control, security response, etc. Moreover, the networking interface used by the telecommunication provide 13 can be one selected from the group consisting of the Wireless Application Protocol, the General Packet Radio Service, the Personal Handy-Phone System, the 3G mobile phone system, and the Internet, etc. Hence, the format of the message can be defined by one selected from the group consisting of E-mail, Short Message Service, Multi-media Service, and so on, wherein the multi-media service is capable of supporting messages comprising video data and audio data.
To sum up, the RFID system of the present invention has the following advantages:
Only the abovementioned is just the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not limit the range of embodiment of the present invention. Namely all changes and modification according to the claims of the present invention should still belong within the range of patent coverage of the present invention. Hereby the inventor requests sage identification and favorable granting of the examiners as the most hoped for.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiment of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
