INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH FEEDBACK DEVICES
A wearable device includes a first radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag, a second RFID tag, one or more feedback devices configured to provide feedback to a guest, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to generate a first control signal that causes a first type of feedback via the one or more feedback devices in response to interaction between electromagnetic radiation having a first frequency and the first RFID tag and to generate a second control signal that causes a second type of feedback via the one or more feedback devices in response to interaction between electromagnetic radiation having a second frequency and the second RFID tag.
Fingerprint sensor module and method for manufacturing a fingerprint sensor module
There is provided a fingerprint sensor module comprising a fingerprint sensor device comprising a sensing array and at least one connection pad for electrically connecting the fingerprint sensor device to external circuitry, the sensing array and connection pad being located on a first side of the fingerprint sensing device; at least one electrically conductive via connection arranged adjacent to the fingerprint sensor device and in electrical contact with the connection pad via at least one conductive trace located in the same plane as the connection pad; a mold layer arranged to cover a backside of the fingerprint sensor device and to fill a volume between the fingerprint sensor device and the via connection, wherein an end portion of the via connection is exposed for connecting the fingerprint sensor module to external circuitry. There is also provided a method for manufacturing such a fingerprint sensor module.
Detachable radio frequency identification switch tag
A radio frequency identification (RFID) switch tag is disclosed. This RFID switch tag includes a base component having an ultra-high frequency (UHF) booster, and a detachable component having at least one UHF RFID module and a high frequency (HF) RFID module. In some embodiments, the detachable component is positioned in close proximity to the base component in a first configuration of the RFID switch tag such that the at least one UHF RFID module is sufficiently coupled to the UHF booster in the base component to form an UHF RFID system having a desired performance. The detachable component can also be separated from the base component to obtain a second configuration of the RFID switch tag, and the HF RFID module remains functional within the detached detachable component so that the detachable component can be used as a standalone HF RFID tag.
Temporarily provisioning payment functionality to alternate payment instrument
Temporarily provisioning payment functionality to alternate payment instrument(s) is described herein. In an example, one or more servers can determine an occurrence of an event associated with one or more merchants. Based at least in part on determining the occurrence of the event, the one or more servers can associate payment data of a payment instrument with an identifier of a wearable payment object to temporarily enable a customer associated with the wearable payment object to use the wearable payment object instead of the payment instrument for transacting with the one or more merchants associated with the event. In at least one example, the wearable payment object can be a RFID-enabled wristband to enable customers at the event (e.g., a festival, a market, etc.) to use the RFID-enabled wristband for transacting with the one or more merchants.
SYSTEM OR DEVICE FOR MAPPING ROUTES TO AN RFID TAG
A device for mapping the location of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The device has a substrate, a communication receiver, a near field communication device positioned on the substrate, and a processor positioned on the substrate. The processor receives the location of the RFID tag from a venue by way of the communication receiver, maps a route to the RFID tag, and displays a map of the route. The device may have a plurality of pixel stacks that can display the map.
Smart processing device with selective configuration function control
Smart processing devices and systems for controlling functionality of smart processing devices are provided. In some examples, a smart processing device may include a central segment and a plurality of removable segments. The removable segments may be connected to the central segment in a plurality of different configurations. In some examples, each configuration may enable or disable functionality associated with the smart processing device. Further, a system may receive data associated with a current physical configuration of a smart processing device. The current physical configuration data may be compared to pre-stored configuration data in order to identify one or more functions to be enabled or disabled for the smart processing device. The system, computing platform, or the like, may generate an instruction, command or signal enabling or disabling functionality and may transmit the signal to the smart processing device for execution and control of functions provided by the smart processing device.
TAG SYSTEM IMPLEMENTING A NORMAL-ON ANTENNA AND METHODS OF USE
Systems and methods for operating a tag system. The methods comprising: wirelessly communicating, from a tag, a first signal at a first frequency spectrum that allows a tag reader to detect the first signal, when the tag is not proximate to an antenna modulation marker or when the antenna modulation marker has a first orientation relative to the tag; and performing operations by the tag to wirelessly communicate a second signal at a second frequency spectrum that does not allow the tag reader to detect the first signal, when the tag is proximate to the antenna modulation marker or when the antenna modulation marker has a second different orientation relative to the tag.
Interactive systems and methods with feedback devices
A wearable device includes a first radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag, a second RFID tag, one or more feedback devices configured to provide feedback to a guest, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to generate a first control signal that causes a first type of feedback via the one or more feedback devices in response to interaction between electromagnetic radiation having a first frequency and the first RFID tag and to generate a second control signal that causes a second type of feedback via the one or more feedback devices in response to interaction between electromagnetic radiation having a second frequency and the second RFID tag.
