In the present embodiment, the information record combination, for example, record the weight information through the record elements included therein according to combinations of a first record state and a second record state.

To be specific, the information record tag 812 records the weight information according to the information record combination of a binary coding of the record elements 812_1-812_5. In the present embodiment, the record elements 812_1, 812_2, 812_3, 812_4, for example, have the first record state, and the record element 8125 has the second record state. In FIG. 8, the first record state and the second record state are, for example, presented in a white color and a black color. Therefore, the info iation record tag 812 represents an information record combination according to binary record states of the record elements 812_1-812_5. For example, a binary code recorded by the information record tag 812 is “00001”, which represents a weight of 1 kg. A binary code recorded by the information record tag 813 is, for example, “00010”, which represents a weight of 2 kg. A binary code recorded by the information record tag 814 is, for example, “00011”, which represents a weight of 3 kg, and the weights represented by the binary codes recorded by the other information record tags can be deduced by analogy, and details thereof are not repeated.

Further, referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, the information reading assembly is, for example, paired to the information carrying assembly to read the weight information through a predetermined manner such as an optical sensing manner, an electromagnetic sensing manner and a mechanism sensing manner. Therefore, in an implementation of the optical sensing manner, the record elements 812_1-812_5 are, for example, light-emitting diodes or similar elements, which are used for providing light signals of two or more different states (for example, bright, dark) to serve as the record states.

In the present embodiment, the types of the optical sensing type record elements and the sensing elements are only used as an example, which are not used for limiting the invention.

In an implementation of the electromagnetic sensing manner, the record elements 812_1-812_5 are, for example, magnetic elements with variable magnetic flux, and are configured to provide magnetic signals of two or more different states to serve as the record states, for example, magnetic flux progressive increase and magnetic flux progressive decrease. In collaboration with the type of the record elements 812_1-812_5, the sensing elements 615_1-615_5 can be electromagnetic sensing elements, for example, Hall effect sensors for transforming a changing magnetic field into a voltage variation to serve as a sensing signal, and determining the weight information according to a sensing result. In the present embodiment, the types of the electromagnetic sensing type record elements and the sensing elements are only used as an example, which are not used for limiting the invention.

In an implementation of the mechanism sensing manner, the record elements 812_1-812_5 are, for example, protruding blocks or non-protruding relative to a surface of the information record tag 812, and are configured to provide hardware blocks of two or more different types to serve as the record states, for example, protruding blocks and non-protruding blocks. In collaboration with the type of the record elements 812_1-812_5, the sensing elements 615_1-615_5 can be button switches or pressure sensors for sensing the protruding or non-protruding blocks on the surface of the information record tag 812, and determining the weight information according to a sensing result. For example, when the information reading assembly and the information carrying assembly are paired, the protruding record elements press the button switches or exert pressures to the pressure sensors for encoding as “1”, and the non-protruding record elements doe not press the button switches or do not exert pressures to the pressure sensors for encoding as “0”. Therefore, the information reading assembly may accordingly read the weight information recorded on the information record tag. In the present embodiment, the types of the mechanism sensing type record elements and the sensing elements are only used as an example, which are not used for limiting the invention.

In the present embodiment, the number of the sensing elements 615_1-615_5 are, for example, determined according to the number of the record elements 812_1-812_5, and the two numbers can be the same or different, which is not limited by the invention. In the present embodiment, the numbers of the sensing elements and the record elements can be determined according to a pairing method between the sensing elements and the record elements. For example, the number of the sensing element can be one for sensing all of the record elements. The number of the sensing elements can also be the same to the number of the record elements for correspondingly sensing the record elements one-by-one, which is not limited by the invention.

Therefore, the predetermined manner mentioned in the aforementioned embodiments refers to the pairing method between the sensing elements and the record elements. In the present embodiment, the pairing method between the sensing elements and the record elements is, for example, one of the optical sensing manner, the electromagnetic sensing manner and the mechanism sensing manner.
