Remote Electronic Tag Operation Through Network Intermediaries
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic tags are limited to local operation within a range of about 1 meter for passive tags and 100 meters for active tags, making remote operation inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A communication method and apparatus that enable remote operation of electronic tags through an access network device, second network element, and third network element, which include processors and memories executing computer programs to manage and communicate with electronic tags across various network elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If electronic tags operate locally within short range (1m for passive, 100m for active), then power consumption and device complexity are reduced, but operational convenience and application scope are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces network elements (access network device, second network element, third network element) as intermediaries between the electronic tag and the terminal device. These intermediaries relay identification information and operation requests, enabling remote operation without requiring the terminal device to be within direct communication range of the electronic tag.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the remote operation system into multiple functional segments: the electronic tag (identification provision), access network device (signal reception and forwarding), second network element (operation request routing), and third network element (terminal device association). This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function within its capability range while achieving overall remote operation capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If electronic tags are operated remotely through network elements, then application scope is expanded beyond local management, but system complexity and information loss risk increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where network elements receive identification information from electronic tags, process operation requests, and return results to terminal devices. The access network device receives signals from electronic tags and forwards them through the network, ensuring accurate information transmission and operational feedback throughout the remote system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses identification information as a digital copy that can be transmitted through the network without degrading the actual electronic tag. The terminal device receives and processes copies of identification information and operation requests, allowing remote manipulation of the electronic tag's data without physical contact or direct proximity.
