Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0041] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1It is a schematic diagram of the system composition of the passive sensing system 10 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the passive sensing system 10 can realize the wireless communication of tags, enabling the tags to feedback their own identity data and the environmental change conditions around the tags without an external power supply, and correspondingly reducing the implementation cost of sensing communication.

[0043] Among them, the passive sensing system 10 includes a main control device 300, a signal processing device 100, and at least one passive sensing tag 200. The signal processing device 100 can communicate with at least one passive sensing tag 200 through a radio communication link.

[0044] In this embodiment, each passive sensing tag 200 is installed on the substance to be detected or marked corresponding to the detection requirement, and then transmits signals through the sensing antenna 210 included therein. Among them, the antenna impedance of the sensing antenna 210 included in each passive sensing tag 200 changes with the environmental conditions where the passive sensing tag 200 is located, resulting in changes in the signal amplitude and signal phase of the feedback signal when the corresponding passive sensing tag 200 performs signal feedback along with the environmental conditions.

[0045] In this embodiment, the signal processing device 100 can send a polling signal to the target passive sensing tag 200 and receive the target echo signal fed back by the target passive sensing tag 200 based on the impedance change of its own sensing antenna 210. Among them, the polling signal is used to instruct the corresponding passive sensing tag 200 to perform data feedback. The polling signal may include, but is not limited to, one or more combinations of a tag position positioning instruction, a tag operation detection instruction, and a tag data reading instruction. The tag position positioning instruction is used to instruct the corresponding passive sensing tag 200 to perform position positioning, the tag operation detection instruction is used to instruct the corresponding passive sensing tag 200 to detect its own operation status, and the tag data reading instruction is used to instruct the corresponding passive sensing tag 200 to extract the stored data for feedback. In addition, the signal processing device 100 can broadcast and send a carrier signal for providing energy, so that when each sensing antenna 210 receives the carrier signal emitted by the signal processing device 100, it uses the signal energy obtained by coupling as the energy for the operation of the passive sensing tag 200 where it is located.

[0046] In an implementation manner of this embodiment, when the signal processing device 100 sends a polling signal, it can load the identity data of the target passive sensing tag 200 targeted by the signal processing device 100 (i.e., the ID (Identity Document) information of the corresponding tag) into the polling signal. In this case, when a certain passive sensing tag 200 receives the polling signal from the signal processing device 100 through its own sensing antenna 210, it will ensure the operation of the passive sensing tag 200 with the energy carried by the received carrier signal, and determine whether its own identity data is consistent with the identity data of the target passive sensing tag 200 that needs to communicate in the polling signal.

[0047] When the identity data of the passive sensing tag 200 that receives the polling signal is consistent with the identity data of the target passive sensing tag 200 in the polling signal, the passive sensing tag 200 that receives the polling signal will feedback a target echo signal including its own identity data to the signal processing device 100 based on the change of the antenna impedance of its own sensing antenna 210. When the identity data of the passive sensing tag 200 that receives the polling signal is inconsistent with the identity data of the target passive sensing tag 200 in the polling signal, the passive sensing tag 200 that receives the polling signal will not feedback the corresponding echo signal.

[0048] In another implementation manner of this embodiment, when the signal processing device 100 sends a polling signal, it will not load the identity data of any specific passive sensing tag 200 into the polling signal, so that each passive sensing tag 200 that receives the polling signal can be used as a target passive sensing tag 200, and each passive sensing tag 200 that receives the polling signal will correspondingly feedback a target echo signal including its own identity data to the signal processing device 100, and the signal processing device 100 will automatically analyze the target echo signals feedback by each target passive sensing tag 200 according to the anti-collision algorithm.

[0049] In this embodiment, the signal processing device 100 is electrically connected to the main control device 300, and is configured to send the target echo signal fed back by the target passive sensing tag 200 and the pre-stored echo signal of the target passive sensing tag 200 in the daily environment to the main control device 300 for display. Among them, after receiving the target echo signal from the target passive sensing tag 200, the signal processing device 100 will correspondingly determine the pre-stored echo signal corresponding to the target passive sensing tag 200 from the pre-stored echo signals of all the passive sensing tags 200 stored in the daily environment, and then send the target echo signal and the pre-stored echo signal corresponding to the same passive sensing tag 200 to the main control device 300. The main control device 300 displays the target echo signal and the pre-stored echo signal corresponding to the same target passive sensing tag 200, so that the user can understand the differences in waveform, spectrum, amplitude, and phase of the two echo signals of the same passive sensing tag 200 through signal comparison on the side of the main control device 300, and thus determine the environmental change status around the corresponding tag according to the specific difference situation.

[0050] In the above process, the passive sensing tag 200 in the present invention does not need to separately construct a circuit for measuring the environmental change status or externally connect a hardware device for measuring the environmental change status. It can directly, based on the characteristic that its own antenna impedance changes with the change of the surrounding environment, when the tag receives a polling signal with a matching identity, feed back an echo signal whose amplitude and phase change with the impedance of the sensing antenna 210 and includes the tag's own identity data to the signal processing device 100, so that the signal processing device 100 can send the currently fed-back echo signal of the same passive sensing tag 200 and its pre-stored echo signal in the daily environment to the main control device 300. The main control device 300 displays the currently fed-back echo signal and the pre-stored echo signal corresponding to the same passive sensing tag 200, so that the user can know the identity data of the corresponding tag and the environmental change status around it through signal comparison on the side of the main control device 300, and reduce the implementation cost of sensing communication. Among them, the passive sensing tag 200 feeds back the environmental change status around the tag through the waveform condition of the echo signal itself without an external power supply.
