Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an auto recognition system that consistis of a number of tags and readers. There could be multiple tags a reader should identify. Since a medium is shared by multiple tags, a collision occurs at the reader’s side when two or more tags get transmitted simultaneously. Therefore, anti-collision mechanism that collaborately arbitrates collisions is required....

The most widely publicized privacy concern about Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems revolves around the inclusion of RFID tags in consumer goods, with the concomitant fear that parties other than the consumer will be able to detect the presence and location of a tagged object. The author used a conceptual framework developed by Mick and Fournier (1998) to understand consumer reaction...

Recently natural disasters and man-made calamities happened very frequently in Taiwan, some of which caused hundreds of inhabitants died and injured. The most important thing that makes the emergency medical treatment system work effectively during these catastrophes is dependent on the accuracy and immediacy of the information among ambulances, hospitals, fire bureaus, public health bureaus or...

A technical overview of near-field electromagnetic tagging is presented and described in the context of adding functionality, efficiency, and convenience to the spaces in which we live and work. A survey of all common forms of electromagnetic tagging is given, including shoplifting tags and RF-ID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tags. Focus is given to low-cost electromagnetic tags based solely...

This paper focus on the extended application of RFID to container transportation system. Based on the overview of common application of RFID technology to container, this paper studied the possibility of RFID applications to container transportation system. We categorized the application of RFID to container transportation into four hierarchies from the angle of cost and application area. It th...
