Example embodiments relate to radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags for liquid monitoring. An example RFID tag includes an antenna configured to communicate with an RFID reader. The antenna includes a radiating plane. The antenna also includes a ground plane. The RFID tag is attachable to a container. A reactance associated with the antenna is modifiable based on a temperature and a volume of a liquid within the container and adjacent to the ground plane. The RFID tag also includes an integrated circuit that includes a memory. The integrated circuit is configured to modulate the antenna in response to an RFID signal from the RFID reader based on the reactance associated with the antenna.

According to the present disclosure, a mobile terminal comprises: a display unit; a sensing unit configured to sense a code scanning situation indicating the situation in which a code scanner scans a code; and a controller configured to control the display unit to automatically display a code for a first payment task when the code scanning situation is sensed and adjust a direction in which the code is displayed according to a direction of light outputted from the code scanner.

Unique physical unclonable function objects are created by molding pre-magnetized or post-magnetized particles into a resin. The particles form a unique physical “fingerprint” based on the random particle size, position, polar rotation, magnetization level, particle density, etc. This invention addresses devices for accurately measuring the physical fingerprint of a PUF, specifically including the X, Y, & Z components of the magnetic field at enough discrete points on the PUF to allow a confident recognition of the identification. A handheld wand is described for measuring the magnetic field along an arbitrary path.

Disclosed herein is a combined reading apparatus for identifying a product. According to a first aspect of the present invention, a combined reading apparatus may include: a plate panel configured to recognize Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag information, configured such that an antenna adapted to transmit and receive a Radio Frequency (RF) signal to and from an RFID tag is included therein, and formed in a plate shape having predetermined lengths in a horizontal direction and a height direction; a connection bar coupled to one side of the plate panel, configured to support the plate panel, and configured to extend from the plate panel in the horizontal direction; a grip formed in a bar shape so as to be held by a hand, spaced apart from the plate panel, and coupled to the connection bar; and a control unit configured to control the RF transmission and reception of the antenna.

A wireless, Bluetooth® paired connection is established between a wireless, electro-optical reader and a host by reading a multi-parameter, pairing symbol displayed by the host. An identification parameter is extracted from the pairing symbol to automatically identify the host, and one or more configuration parameters are substantially simultaneously extracted from the same pairing symbol to automatically configure the paired connection between the reader and the host.

A code reader includes an imager configured to capture an image, and a processor operably coupled to the imager. The processor performs an object detection operation having a configurable triggering threshold that may be set, at least in part, based on an amount of changes needed to be detected in order to trigger a positive result for object detection. The processor also initiates a scanning phase for the code reader to read and decode an indicia responsive to the positive result being achieved by the object detection operation.

Dimensioners and methods for dimensioning an object includes capturing, using a dimensioning system with a single sensor, at least one range image of at least one field-of-view, and calculating dimensional data of the range images and storing the results. Wherein, the number of views captured of the object is automatically determined based on one of three modes. The first mode is used if the object is a cuboid, or has no protrusions and only one obtuse angle that does not face the point of view, where it captures a single view of the object. The second mode is used if the object includes a single obtuse angle, and no protrusions, where it captures two views of the object. The third mode is used if the object includes a protrusion and/or more than one obtuse angle, overhang, protrusion, or combinations thereof, where it captures more than two views of the object.

An information processing method causes a processor in a terminal to: display, on the display of the terminal, a first screen representing a pre-preparation process included in cooking processes, the first screen displaying information indicating an intermediate foodstuff made through the pre-preparation process; acquire first identification information indicating a food container storing the intermediate foodstuff from an electronic tag apparatus attached to the food container while the first screen is displayed on the display; store, in a memory, information indicating the intermediate foodstuff or pre-preparation process and the first identification information in correspondence with each other; display, on the display, a second screen representing a finish process included in the cooking processes, the intermediate foodstuff being prepared in the finish process; and when the second screen is displayed, transmit a command to the electronic tag apparatus according to the first identification information so that the user discriminates the food container.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system realizing smooth entrance with an electronic ticket. ID information used for determining admittance or non-admittance of entrance with an electronic ticket is extracted from a captured image of a superimposition image which contains a predetermined image and the ID information superimposed on the predetermined image to determine admittance or non-admittance of entrance with the electronic ticket on the basis of the electronic ticket and the ID information. For example, the present technology is applicable to an entrance gate system or others provided to check entrance into an event site or the like.

Consistent with disclosed embodiments, systems, methods, and computer readable media pertaining to a battery-less identification tag for embedding into products may be provided. Embodiments may include a flexible substrate; a first differential antenna on the flexible substrate, the first differential antenna including a first meandering arm and a second meandering arm, and the first differential antenna being of a first size; a second differential antenna on the flexible substrate, the second differential antenna including a third meandering arm and fourth meandering arm, and the second differential antenna being of a second size smaller than the first size; and at least one communications chip connected to the first differential antenna and the second differential antenna.
