Abstract
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag includes a power supply, a RFID microchip, an enable unit, an adhesive unit, and a conducting unit. The adhesive unit is positioned on a bottom surface of the RFID tag. The conducting unit is secured to the bottom surface of the RFID tag through the adhesive unit. An end of the conducting unit is electronically connected to the power supply or the enable unit. Another end of the conducting unit is connected to the RFID microchip. The power supply or the enable unit switches on/off the RFID microchip through the conducting unit.
Claims13
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, comprising:
- a power supply;
- a RFID microchip;
- an enable unit;
- an adhesive unit positioned on a bottom surface of the RFID tag for securing the RFID tag to an article;
