Abstract: A wirelessly charged battery powered electronic door locking system utilizes a first radio frequency to wirelessly transmit a wireless charging signal from an electronic control module to an electronic lock module mounted with the door. A rechargeable battery associated with the electronic lock module powers the electronic lock module and is recharged thereby. An RFID reader may be coupled to the electronic lock module, powered by the battery and mounted with the door.
Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for radio frequency identification provides a modulated illumination signal containing a sequence of bits configured to illuminate a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, The illumination signal is received at the RFID tag, rectified to generate a wake signal for waking a processor which is subsequently powered by a battery. The received illumination signal is sampled and subjected to a thresholding process. Mobile telephone band interference is countered by correlating the sampled illumination signal to determine its bit sequence and then correlating the bit sequence against a predetermined key. An identification signal from the RFID tag is sent in response to a match.
