Innovation Solution
A method and arrangement that enables data transmission between an RFID data storage medium and a mobile radio device's integrated RFID reading unit, establishing a data link to a network server via a radio interface, allowing consumers to access and update additional object information stored on a network server associated with the RFID data storage medium.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If RFID data storage media are used for contactless information storage, then data transmission convenience is improved, but accessibility and update capability of additional information by consumers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from purely local RFID data storage to a hybrid architecture by adding a network dimension. Additional information is stored both locally on the RFID tag and remotely on a network server, enabling consumers to access and update information via mobile devices connected to the network, thus resolving the limitation of RFID tags having no direct network access capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mobile device as an intermediary between the RFID data storage medium and the network server. The mobile device reads data from the RFID tag, establishes a network connection, and enables access to additional information on the server, thereby bridging the gap between contactless RFID technology and network-based information management
2Adaptability or versatility
If RFID technology is integrated into mobile radio devices, then functionality of contactless card systems is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent leverages the universal capabilities of mobile devices that already possess radio interfaces for communication. By utilizing the existing radio interface for both mobile network communication and RFID data reading, the system avoids adding dedicated hardware complexity while expanding functionality to include network-based information access and management
