  • RFID buckle closure and presence sensor system for safety childseat
    Publication number: 20070096891
    Abstract: In the preferred embodiment of the present invention a passive, wireless, RFID-based wireless buckle-closure sensor determines whether the buckle of a child safety seat is secured. Sensors also are provided to determine if the child is in the seat, the temperature and if the vehicle is in operation, and alarms are sounded if an unsafe condition is detected by the system. Child safety seats utilize a 3-point or 5-point locking-mechanism for seat belt and harness restraints. The locking-mechanism requires that metal belt/harness components latch together and are released by depression of a lock-mounted release button. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention a passive RF transponder is affixed to the buckle. Essentially the RF transponder comprises an RFID device without a data component. The RF transponder is interrogated by a frequency-scanning reader, which determines the resonant frequency of the transponder.
