System for the digital identification, tracking and security of persons, vehicles and objects using passive chip cards

Abstract

Use of a passive chip system for secure and contactless identification of persons, vehicles, goods and objects without the need for an active power supply or internet connection.

Description

[0001] This utility model application describes an innovative system for the digital identification, tracking, and security of persons, vehicles, goods, and objects using passive chip cards (starter chip cards) and contactless readers. The technology is flexible, future-proof, and can be used independently of existing infrastructure (internet, electricity). Technical field

[0002] The invention belongs to the field of digital identification, access control, security and tracking systems. It encompasses six applications in the areas of personal and vehicle identification, goods and packaging marking, logistics, police and security services, the military, as well as nautical and disaster relief. State of the art

[0003] Current systems mostly use active or passive RFID chips, QR codes, or barcode technology. These systems have limitations due to the need for visibility, power supply, or vulnerabilities to manipulation. A secure, robust, and simple solution that also works without an active power supply or internet connection is lacking. Invention description

[0004] The present system uses passive chip cards (starter chip cards) equipped with simple yet tamper-proof technologies. These cards can serve as a replacement for or supplement to traditional identification methods. A key feature is the ability to integrate these chips into vehicles, product packaging, or even clothing, enabling contactless identification and tracking under a wide range of environmental conditions.

[0005] The readers are portable, do not require a permanent power connection, and can be operated via battery, solar panels, or mechanical energy (crank) as needed. This allows them to be used even in remote, off-grid regions.

[0006] The system is designed to remain compatible with future technological developments. Even if new technologies are added or existing ones are replaced, the core of the technical functionality remains intact.

Claims

[1] Use of a passive chip system for the secure and contactless identification of persons, vehicles, goods and objects without the need for an active power supply or internet connection. [2] Integration of the starter chip cards into vehicles in hard-to-reach, tamper-proof locations, so that a clear assignment to drivers and occupants is possible at all times, even if cards are destroyed. [3] Use of the system for digital and tamper-proof marking of goods and packaging, whereby the data is hidden inside the packaging and cannot be altered from the outside. [4] Use of the system to monitor and document the presence of persons in security-relevant areas, including the ability to detect escape attempts or unauthorized departure from the area. [5] Use in police and security work for the unambiguous identification of suspects, victims and employees by contactless reading of the starter chip cards. [6] Use of the system in the military, to equip soldiers with inconspicuous starter chip cards integrated into uniforms, which also serve for location and identification during operations. [7] Possibility of contactless identification and localization of human remains in mass graves, disaster or war zones, even after long periods of time, without external energy supply. [8] Use of the system in navigation and shipping for monitoring persons, material and safety procedures, even under extreme environmental conditions. [9] Use as a discreet identification tag for monitoring persons, e.g. in law enforcement or refugee surveillance, without the person concerned noticing it. [10] Provision of mobile reading devices that can be operated without mains power and internet by means of batteries, solar energy or mechanical energy to ensure maximum independence and flexibility. [11] Use of the starter chip card as an identification tag, similar to metallic tags, for monitoring and identifying animals in order to locate animals in emergency situations. [12] Use of the starter chip card as an identification tag, comparable to metallic tags, for discreet identification tools in security and law enforcement contexts. [13] Use of the starter chip card for the identification and location of persons, even in escape or danger situations, even if the card is destroyed or destroyed by the carrier. [14] Use of the system for the secure and tamper-proof tracking and identification of vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and immovable objects. [15] Use of the system in medical emergency and disaster relief for the rapid identification of injured and dead persons to support rescue and reconnaissance efforts. [16] Possibility of integrating the starter chip cards into packaging of products for protection against tampering and theft, especially for valuable or security-relevant goods.
