Patent number: 11580316Abstract: An active radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tag receives an RFID interrogation signal via a first antenna. An integrated frequency reference in the RFID chip recovers the clock from the RFID interrogation and generates a reference clock for transmitting data responsive to the RFID interrogation. The integrated frequency reference generates the reference clock at the same frequency as the RFID interrogation for transmitting the response via the first antenna. The integrated frequency reference generates the reference clock at a different frequency for transmitting the response using a Bluetooth beacon message or a WiFi message via a second antenna. A mobile computing device can interrogate the RFID tag via an NFC interface and receive a response via a Bluetooth beacon messages or WiFi message received via a Bluetooth or wireless interface of the mobile computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventor: Ian Forster
