LINING FOR BLOCKING WI-FI, ULTRA-SOUND, LASER, VHF, UHF, BLUE TOOTH, AND RFlD TAG SIGNAL

Abstract

A method of blocking the signal of an RFID tag from being read without consent or knowledge of the owner. A lining or cloth is first made of non-magnetic material containing non-magnetic metal in such concentration as is capable of blocking or attenuating transmission of a signal to or from said Radio Frequency Identification Tag. The lining or cloth is then incorporated into an article of manufacture wherein the article may be used to hold a Radio Frequency identification Tag.Lining for Blocking RFID Tag Signal Making a cloth or lining of non-magnetic material containing non-magnetic metal in such concentration as is capable of blocking or attenuating transmission of a signal to or from a Radio Frequency Identification tag; and incorporating the cloth or lining into an article of manufacture wherein the article may be used to block or attenuate a signal to or from a Radio Frequency Identification Tag.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]It provides a method of blocking or attenuating the electromagnetic signal of a Radio Frequency identification Tagging. It provides a method of blocking or attenuating the electromagnetic signal of a Radio Frequency Identification Tag, also known as automatic identification tag, anti-skimming tag, spy tag, and a RFID tag, to prevent it from being read without the consent or knowledge of the owner.DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART[0002]RFID tags may be placed in, or attached to, about any item imaginable. The RFID tags are relatively inexpensive and can be made the size of a grain of rice or paper thin. The purpose of the tags is to store information on the microchip and then when the information is needed the chip instantly responds to an interrogating radio frequency signal by sending its information via radio wave, wi-fi wave, ultra-sound wave, blue tooth wave, LASER wave,[0003]VHF or UHF wave to the interrogating reader, or receiving device.[0004]The RFID tag may b...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a way to make a material that can block or reduce the transmission of signals from RFID tags. This material can be used to make things that hold RFID tags. The process involves using a special lining made of non-magnetic metal. The lining is placed in things that hold RFID tags to prevent them from being read or written to. This technology can be useful in protecting sensitive information."

Problems solved by technology

A major problem with the RFID tag is that it could be commanded to send its information without the owner's consent or knowledge.

This could release sensitive information that could potentially harm the owner if it was obtained by someone that was not authorized.

While this invention is for other than an RFID device, this patent application teaches that effective shielding is difficult to attain because discontinuities in shielding enclosures can lead to secondary transmission of the signal from the gap edges.
