An electronic commerce protection system enables a person to safely carry credit, debit, gift cards or the like. The system prevents access to the data on the credit card from physical theft by attaching the system to a persons' boot or other article of clothing. The system prevents electronic or wireless reading of the data by shielding the card from malicious attacks.

The present invention is in the field of ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. More particularly, the present invention relates generally to systems and methods for providing a passive UHF RFID tag having a small footprint that is optimized for high performance applications in emerging markets for RFID technology.

Provided is an assembly that includes a first shield part and a second shield part. The first shield part is foldable on the second shield part. Each of the first shield part and the second shield part includes or is connected to at least one closure element, so that the at least one closure element associated with the first shield part is in contact with at least one corresponding closure element associated with the second shield part. The contact allows ensuring an electrical continuity between the first shield part and the second shield part and generating a Faraday cage. Other embodiments disclosed.

A system for locating a RFID tag in a space or area having a physical barrier is disclosed herein. More specifically, the system comprises a plurality of guard tags for use in conjunction with a RFID tag disposed on an item and a RFID reader for locating the same. The system is configured to locate the RFID tag on either side of the physical barrier. The plurality of guard tags may comprise a plurality of negative encoded guard tags and a plurality of positive encoded guard tags, and an algorithm may be used to determine a probability of the RFID tag location within the physical space. A method of locating a RFID tag within a physical space, and a method of virtually shielding the physical space is also disclosed.

An analog recording medium disc includes a first face including a read layer and a first tag. The analog recording medium disc includes a radio-frequency identification device that includes a contactless electronic chip that is associated with an antenna. The antenna is printed directly on a face of the tag, and the tag is held within the material of the disc.

An identification protection card is an identification card and includes a card body. The card body consists of a shielding metal sheet and two hard insulating protective layers configured to cover upper and lower surfaces of the shielding metal sheet. The card body is sized relative to an international standard chip card. A surface of at least one of the protective layers is printed with a logo, totem or character. When a chip card is inserted into a card compartment of a wallet, the identification card is placed close to one side of the chip card, thereby providing a shielding effect for the chip card. This effectively blocks the transmission and reception of electronic signals or electromagnetic waves outside the wallet, preventing the data of the chip card from being recorded.

A switchable RFID tag comprising at least one RFID code circuit disposed on an adjustable member being adjacent to an antenna; wherein the adjustable member is arranged to be manipulated to move the at least one RFID code circuit into a communication position whereby the RFID code circuit is coupled to the antenna; and into an inactive position whereby the RFID code circuit is uncoupled from the antenna.

Systems and methods are disclosed for an electronic label system. An electronic label may include a reflective component configured to reflect light transmitted by a light source. The electronic label may also include a light blocking device configured. The light blocking device may prevent at least a portion of the light transmitted by the light source from reaching the reflective component when in a first configuration. The light blocking device may also allow the light transmitted by the light source to reach the reflective component when in a second configuration. The electronic label also includes a processing device configured to control operation of the light blocking device. The light blocking device further includes a power generation device configured to generate power for the light blocking device and the processing device.

An RFID protection and low frequency signal isolation sheet for a folding wallet has a metal interlayer. Upper surface and the lower surface of the metal interlayer are covered with protective layers to form an RFID protection folding sheet. The RFID protection folding sheet is inserted into a cash compartment of a folding wallet. The RFID protection folding sheet has a length slightly less than that of the cash compartment. The RFID protection folding sheet has a width slightly less than a depth of the cash compartment. The RFID protection folding sheet is placed into the cash compartment and located at an inner edge close to an outer layer of the folding wallet. By folding the folding wallet, the RFID protection folding sheet forms the peripheral protection of the folding wallet, and the data of the electronic chips (RFID) of cards inside the folding wallet is blocked.

Systems and methods for transit industry vehicle rider accessory capacity monitoring whereby an RFID tag, or other determining technology, indicates the presence or absence of a rider accessory in an accessory storage and such presence or absence is communicated and received by a transit industry vehicle to be disseminated to users of such systems and methods.
