Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments of RFID switch devices are disclosed herein. Such RFID switch devices advantageously enable manual activation/deactivation of the RF module. The RFID switch device may include a RF module with an integrated circuit adapted to ohmically connect to a substantially coplanar conductive trace pattern, as well as booster antenna for extending the operational range of the RFID device. The operational range of the RFID switch device may be extended when a region of the booster antenna overlaps a region of the conductive trace pattern on the RF module via inductive or capacitive coupling. The RFID switch device may further include a visual indicator displaying a first color if the RFID switch device is in an active state and/or a second color if the RFID switch device is in an inactive state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An RFID device comprising: a booster antenna adapted to extend the operational range of the RFID device; an RF module comprising an integrated circuit and a set of one or more conductive traces, wherein at least one conductive trace of said set of one or more conductive traces is adapted to electrically couple to a coupling region of the booster antenna when the coupling region of the booster antenna is located in a first position relative to said set of o…
