Considering that the RFID tag on the user's ETC electronic tag may fall off or be damaged and become unidentifiable, the user can fill in the ETC electronic tag serial number through the touch screen. After the ETC electronic tag self-service issuance and recycling machine verifies the information, it slides the lifting partition 52 mechanism (which automatically closes after 10 seconds; if the user has not had time to insert the ETC electronic tag, it can be reopened by filling in the tag information again), and the user inserts it into the device.

[0032] b) Identification via RFID reader: The ETC electronic tag self-service issuance and recycling machine is equipped with an RFID reader. Users can place the ETC electronic tag to be recycled into the RFID identification area. After the system successfully identifies the tag, it will open the sliding lifting partition 52 mechanism of the recycling chamber 4 (it will automatically close after 10 seconds. If the user has not had time to put in the ETC electronic tag, it can be reopened by re-identifying the tag information). The user can then place the tag into the device.

[0033] After the ETC electronic tag is placed in the recycling chamber 4, the infrared sensor detects the presence of the ETC electronic tag. After the maintenance personnel open the rear cabinet door 11 and take away the ETC electronic tag returned by the user, the return function is restored.

[0034] The IoT device also houses a control center within cabinet 1, which performs key functions such as information reading, storage, and command issuance.
