Abstract
There is disclosed an identification system which comprises electromagnetic identification means to be connected to objects, such as products, files, keys, file documents, suspension files and the like, and communication means provided with antennas for communication with the identification means. The system further comprises display means for the objects, which form the antennas, via which regular communication with the identification means takes place. Advantageously, the antennas perform a dual function as transmitters of electromagnetic radiation and as support or suspension elements for the objects, without this being realised at the expense of the advantages of the known identification systems.
Claims15
An identification system comprising:
- a) electromagnetic identification means to be connected to objects, such as products, files, keys, commodities, file documents, suspension files or the like;
- b) communication means provided with antennas for communication with the identification means;
- and
- c) display means for the objects,
- characterised in that said display means are the antennas.
A computer system provided with software designed for maintaining a database containing data regarding objects, which data are at least partially kept up to date by making use of electromagnetic signals being communicated to labels or tags on the objects via the display means in the form of antennas, said data comprising at least data that unequivocally identify individual objects or groups of objects.
