Definitions
- the present invention pertains to radio frequency identification (RFID) devices, and, more particularly, to an RFID system that renders RFID tags, and associated objects, inoperable.
- RFID radio frequency identification
- Remote communication utilizing wireless equipment typically relies on radio frequency (RF) technology.
- RF radio frequency
- One application of RF technology is in locating, identifying, and tracking objects, such as animals, inventory, and vehicles.
- RFID RF identification
- a basic RFID system 10 includes two components: an interrogator or reader 12, and a transponder (commonly called an RF tag) 14.
- the interrogator 12 and RF tag 14 include respective antennas 16, 18.
- the interrogator 12 transmits through its antenna 16 a radio frequency interrogation signal 20 to the antenna 18 of the RF tag 14.
- the RF tag 14 produces a modulated response signal 22 that is transmitted back to the interrogator 12 through the tag antenna 18 by a process known as continuous wave backscatter.
- the substantial advantage of RFID systems is the non-contact, non-line-of-sight capability of the technology.
- the interrogator 12 emits the interrogation signal 20 with a range from one inch to one hundred feet or more, depending upon its power output and the radio frequency used.
- Tags can be read through a variety of substances such as odor, fog, ice, paint, dirt, and other visually and environmentally challenging conditions where bar codes or other optically-read technologies would be useless.
- RF tags can also be read at high speeds, in most cases responding in less than one hundred milliseconds. RF tags are divided into three main categories: Beam-powered passive tags, battery-powered semi-passive tags, and active tags. Each operates in different ways.
- the beam-powered RFID tag is often referred to as a passive device because it derives the energy needed for its operation from the interrogation signal beamed at it.
- the tag rectifies the field and changes the reflective characteristics of the tag itself, creating a change in reflectivity that is seen at the interrogator.
- the battery-powered semi-passive RFID tag operates in a similar fashion, modulating its RF cross-section in order to reflect a delta to the interrogator to develop a communication link.
- the battery is the source of the tag's operational power for optional circuitry.
- a transmitter is used to create its own radio frequency energy powered by the battery.
- the range of communication for such tags varies according to the transmission power of the interrogator 12 and the RF tag 14.
- Battery-powered tags operating at 2,450 MHz have traditionally been limited to less than ten meters in range. However, devices with sufficient power can reach up to 200 meters in range, depending on the frequency and environmental characteristics.
- the disclosed embodiments of the invention are directed to a method and system for controlling objects, such as RFID tags, and associated operable objects.
- an RFID device in one embodiment, includes a receiver circuit configured to receive an interrogation signal and to return a radio frequency signal in response thereto.
- the receiver circuit is further configured to receive a disable signal and to process the disable signal to render the device permanently inoperable.
- a radio frequency identification and control device for tracking and controlling an operable object.
- the device is configured to respond to interrogation and control signals from a remote radio frequency identification interrogator.
- a receiver circuit is provided integral with the object and configured to generate return radio frequency signals in response to the interrogation signals and it is adapted to be coupled to the object to render the object inoperable in response to a disable signal.
- the receiver circuit utilizes the operable object as at least a portion of or the entire receiving antenna. In accordance with another aspect of the foregoing embodiment, the receiver circuit is configured to enable operation of the object in response to an enable signal.
- a method for controlling an RFID device includes transmitting a disable signal to the device and receiving and processing the disable signal to render the device irreversibly non-responsive.
- the device can be coupled to an operable object, such as a weapon, and configured to render the object or weapon operable in response to an enable signal or permanently inoperable in response to a disable signal.

- the antenna 32 may be configured to receive both the interrogation and control signals, or multiple antennas may be used.
- the receiver circuit 36 is configured in a conventional manner to enable the RFID device 30 to return a radio frequency signal (not shown) in response to the interrogation signals 35 from the interrogator 26.
- the RFID device 30 is a passive RFID tag that utilizes modulated backscatter reflection of the interrogation signals 35 to respond to the interrogator 26.
- the receiver circuit 36 has associated with it a control circuit 33 that is configured to respond to the control signals 37 from the interrogator 26, which include a disable signal.
- the disable signal is received and processed by the control circuit 33 to render the RFID device 30 permanently inoperable.
- the control signal is a modulated signal transmitted at the same frequency as the interrogation signal.
- the receiving circuit 36 includes a memory 38, and the control circuit 33 is configured to alter or erase the memory 38 to render the device 30 irreversibly non- responsive.
- the receiver circuit 36 can be configured to fuse a fusible link 39 in response to the disable signal, such as to ground the antenna 32 or alter its operating characteristics.
- the receiver circuit 36 may be configured to break an electrical conducting link inside the RFID device 30 (not shown) in a manner that is known in the art and will not be discussed in detail herein.
- the receiver circuit 36 can be configured to render the antenna 32 or associated antenna circuit inoperable, such as by modifying the operating characteristics.
- the backscatter or modulation characteristics of the antenna circuit can be permanently modified so that the device 30 does not respond to further interrogation and control signals.

- the output circuit 45 is coupled to the controller 44, which is configured to control operation of the weapon 42.
- the receiver circuit 46 Upon receipt of a control signal 50, the receiver circuit 46 causes the output circuit 45 to output an enable/disable signal to the controller 44.
- the control signal 50 comprises a disable signal that is received and processed by the receiver circuit 46 and the output circuit 45 to cause the controller 44 to disable operation of the weapon 42.
- the receiver circuit 46 and output circuit 45 are configured to receive a control signal 50 that causes the controller 44 to enable operation of the weapon 42.

- the RFID tag while disclosed as a passive device (without an independent source of power such as a battery), may be configured as a semi-passive device having a battery to operate optional accessory circuits.
- the disclosed embodiments of the invention can be combined with an active RFID tag device, if desired.
