Intelligent identification tags increasingly change human life

As people's lives become more and more intelligent, radio frequency identification technology, intelligent identification tags are increasingly entering the lives of ordinary people, and quickly change people's daily life and living structure.

In fact, even those people who do not know radio frequency identification technology are unknowingly using this kind of intelligent technology every day. For example, if a monthly pass user pays for a card at a toll booth, the DVD player will be thin and copper-colored. The circuit board, when the company staff enters the special area, presents the identity card to the electronic eye on the wall and so on. All of this is because there is a small chip that can be recognized by the scanner. It can provide information on identity, spending habits, and even personal actions.

The application of this smart technology is not limited to the above mentioned content. Alastair MacArthur, chief technology officer of TAGSYS, one of the world’s leading radio frequency identification technology manufacturers, said: “My dog ​​has embedded improved radio frequency identification tags under the ears.” He said that such tags are The person or animal who wears it will send an alarm when it passes through the door where the transceiver is installed. It can also identify the owner of the tag.

MacArthur said that they are vigorously promoting radio frequency identification technology, including various items for sale on the market, to benefit everyone. MacArthur is in Paris, France to participate in the opening ceremony of European research and inventions, this exhibition will continue until the 6th.

According to a research report released by the UK market analysis company "Digital Surveillance" last week, the global sales of radio frequency identification technology will increase threefold in the next five years and will exceed six billion US dollars by 2010. Among them, more than 40% of the sales market is in North America, one third in Europe and one quarter in Asia.

Basic radio frequency identification technology is neither new nor complicated. It consists of three parts: a silicon chip, an internal antenna, and a remote-sensing transceiver. Depending on the frequency, the scanner can read data from a few centimeters to 4 meters to 5 meters. The relatively high cost is currently a factor that restricts the promotion of radio frequency identification technology. At the same time, the anti-theft feature of radio frequency identification technology is only applied to valuable retail items such as books, fashion, DVDs and other items.

However, once the price of this smart label drops to 5 cents to 10 cents each (the current price is 2 to 3 times this price), they will be as common as bar codes. It is reported that Germany's Siemens is using polymer semiconductors to develop a technology that uses printed circuits to print the radio frequency identification technology labels on paper.

Due to personal privacy concerns, the California Senate prohibits the use of radio frequency identification technology in the production of driver's licenses, student cards, and health insurance cards issued in the state, and provides for the unauthorized browsing of individuals on radio frequency identification technology labels. Information is criminal.

However, with the development of science and technology, in the foreseeable future, people can push carts full of goods out of supermarkets after shopping in supermarkets, without stopping to pay for them. Because then the scanner will automatically calculate the amount that should be delivered and instruct the computer to record the bill in the customer's bank account. Experts believe that this day will not wait too long.
