  • Patent number: 10977883
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method utilize a micro electronic device implanted in a person or group of persons, or wearable thereby, to manage a variety of activities, including interrogating an RF microdevice for information. The microdevice has a housing, an antenna, a microprocessor, a tuning capacitor, and a transducer such as a location transponder, a thermometer, a heart rate transducer, a blood pressure transducer, and an information storage element. The method includes the steps of providing the microdevice and attaching it to a person. The person brings the microdevice near a login system having an RF reader and a login processor. The reader communicates with the microdevice via RF signals, and signals the login processor to corroborate an identification code from the microdevice. If the login processor corroborates the identification code, it signals the microdevice to permit access to information from the transducer.

  • Publication number: 20200402331
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method utilize a micro electronic device implanted in a person or group of persons, or wearable thereby, to manage a variety of activities. Such micro devices may also be embedded in, incorporated into, or otherwise attached to articles, devices, structures or things to track, manage or monitor such articles, devices, structures or things for geo-location or other tracking, monitoring or management services. The microelectronic devices may be used for geo-location services for agencies responsible for monitoring such person's whereabouts with respect to branches and agencies such judicial and law enforcement agencies. Lastly, the microelectronic devices may be implanted in or worn or carried by humans for using biometric sensors or transducers to authenticate and transmit vital signs and other health information to clinic or other facility personnel.

  • Patent number: 10665046
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method utilize a micro electronic device implanted in a person or group of persons, or wearable thereby, to manage a variety of activities, including logging in to an electronic device or system such as a PC or network. The method includes the steps of providing an RF microdevice having an electronic identification code and attaching the microdevice to the user. A PC system is provided including an RF reader and a processor. The user brings the microdevice near the reader, whereby the reader communicates with the microdevice via RF signals, and the RF reader signals the processor to corroborate the identification code. If the processor corroborates the identification code, the processor signals that a successful login has occurred. If the processor does not corroborate the identification code, a login is not confirmed.

  • Patent number: 10665043
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method utilize a micro electronic device implanted in a person or group of persons, or wearable thereby, to manage a variety of activities, including checking out a product or service from a market, such as a micro-market. The method includes the steps of providing a RF microdevice having an electronic identification code and attaching the microdevice to the user. A checkout system is provided including an RF reader and a processor. The user brings the microdevice near the reader, whereby the reader communicates with the microdevice via RF signals, and the RF reader signals the processor to corroborate the identification code. If the processor corroborates the identification code, the processor signals that a successful product or service checkout has occurred. If the processor does not corroborate the identification code, a checkout is not confirmed.
