Abstract
Labels have visible color holographic quick response 9CHQR) faces and hidden coded radio frequency (RF) antennas on their rear surfaces. RF coding provides evidence of tampering and adds active bi-directional flow of information between the label and label readers. RFCHQR labels provide authentication and update information in memory slots.
Claims17
Apparatus comprising a label having a color holographic quick response code and a radio frequency antenna;
- wherein
- the radio frequency antenna is connected to a radio frequency transceiver located on or within the label;
- and wherein
- the label is configured to store information transmitted from optical and/or radio frequency devices, which information can be read from the label by said devices;
- said information can be encrypted, and can be used to securely verify the authenticity of the process.
A method for interactively tracking, monitoring, storing, and/or verifying changes made to a product during a manufacturing process, the method comprising providing a visible color holographic quick response label with a radio frequency antenna connected to the label, wherein
- the label is configured to store information transmitted from optical and/or radio frequency devices, which information can be read from the label by said devices;
- said information can be encrypted, and can be used to securely verify the authenticity of the process.
