Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an identification apparatus and method, and particularly to an identification tag for baggage and the like, and for a method of configuring the tag.
  • a conventional tag for use in identification and tracking of baggage in airports and the like, comprises a self-adhesive strip that is printed with machine readable and human readable information which identifies a baggage item and the flight or journey on which the item is to be carried.
  • the tag is typically printed by an operator at a check-in or baggage drop counter, and attached around a part of the baggage item to create a double-sided tag with machine-readable codes on both sides.
  • the machine readable codes can then be read by an automated baggage transport system and used to look up further details on a database so as to enable the baggage item to be routed to the intended destination.
  • RFID tags may become damaged or may be positioned so that they cannot be read automatically.
  • RFID tags have been proposed to replace paper baggage tags with radio-frequency-identification (RFID) tags, and some airports are now equipped with RFID readers to enable handling of RFID-tagged baggage.
  • RFID tags cannot be read by conventional optical readers, as used in the majority of airports.
  • WO-A-2011/097454 discloses an RFID tag that includes a programmable electronic flexible sheet display, so that a conventional bar code can also be displayed.
  • the tag also carries a printable sheet.
  • a customer may check in a bag online by scanning an online code and the baggage tag code using a cell phone, such that the customer's itinerary is linked to the baggage tag.
  • the tag, itinerary and customer ID are verified and the flight information is written to the tag.
  • An embodiment of the invention comprises an electronic baggage tag that has an electronic display screen on both sides, thus facilitating optical or human reading of the tag.
  • An embodiment of the invention comprises an electronic baggage tag that is writeable via a near-field communication interface.
  • the data to be written may be retrieved at an operator station or automated kiosk, or by means of an NFC-enabled mobile communications device, thus enabling a user to retrieve flight data without the need to visit a kiosk or operator station.
  • the data is then written over an NFC interface of the operator station, kiosk or mobile device.
  • Figure la is a diagram of a baggage tag in a first embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure lb shows dual electronic display screens of a prototype of the first embodiment.
  • Figure 2 is a diagram of the baggage tag of Figure la or lb, mounted in a casing.
  • Figure 3 is a diagram of the components of the baggage tag of the first embodiment.
  • Figure 4 is a flow diagram of a method of updating a baggage tag in a first embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 5 is a flow diagram of a method of updating a baggage tag in a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 6 is a diagram of an example of a computer system for use in embodiments of the invention.
  • the tag 1 is generally planar and has first and second display screens 2a, 2b on opposite main faces thereof so that the tag is readable from either side.
  • the display screens 2a, 2b may display a machine- readable code 4, such as a barcode, and human-readable information 5.
  • the barcode 4 may be a one-dimensional barcode displayed twice, in orthogonal directions, to facilitate scanning.
  • the one-dimensional barcode may comply with the IATA standard for baggage tag barcodes (currently Resolution 792 of the Passenger Services Conference Resolutions Manual).
  • Figure lb shows a prototype in which each display screen 2a, 2b comprises two discrete sub-screens each displaying different information. However, it is preferred that a larger, single screen is used for each of the display screens 2a, 2b.
  • the display screens 2a, 2b preferably use non-volatile display technology so that they do not require constant power, and may have very low power consumption since power is only required to change the state of the display screens 2a, 2b.
  • Examples of such display technology include electrophoretic ink (E Ink (RTM)).
  • the display screens 2a, 2b are controlled by a processor 10 to display information and/or codes stored in a memory 11.
  • a two-way near- field communication (NFC) interface 12 is provided to allow the contents of the memory 11 to be read and modified over an NFC connection, for example by means of an NFC-enabled mobile communication device or scanner.
  • the NFC interface 12 may comply with the relevant standards as defined by the NFC Forum.
  • a power source such as a rechargeable battery or capacitor, may be provided within the tag 1.
  • the power source may be rechargeable via an electrical or inductive connection and/or by one or more photovoltaic or photoelectric cells provided on the tag 1.
  • the tag 1 is preferably flexible, so as to avoid damage during handling.
  • the E Ink (RTM) technology allows the display screens 2a, 2b to be flexible, while the other components of the tag, and the connections between them, may also be made flexible using known processes for flexible electronics.
  • the tag 1 has first and second attachment points 3a, 3b by which the tag 1 may be removably secured within a housing 6, for example by means of click or push-fit attachments.
  • the housing 6 may be at least partially of transparent material, so that the display screens 2a, 2b are visible when the tag 1 is located within the housing 6.
  • the housing 6 includes an attachment portion 7 for attachment to a baggage item.
  • the housing 6 may be flexible, and may comprise a sleeve, or wrap-around casing.
  • the housing 6 may provide protection for the tag 1 during handling. Where an electrical power connection is provided in the tag 1, the housing 6 may protect the electrical power connection from the ingress of dirt and/or moisture.
  • the housing 6 may include one or more photovoltaic or photoelectric cells arranged to provide power to the tag 1, for example through the attachment points 3 a, 3b.
  • the housing 6 may be coloured and/or decorated, for example to indicate membership of a loyalty scheme.
  • a plurality of housings 6 of different size, shape and/or appearance may be provided, each of which includes means for securing the tag 1 therein.
  • the tag 1 is intended to be re-used, so that the contents of the memory 11 and the display of the display screens 2a, 2b need to be updated to suit the current use of the tag 1, as described for example below.
  • a first method of updating the tag 1, during check- in or baggage drop will now be discussed with reference to Figure 4.
  • This method may be performed automatically, for example at a check-in or baggage drop kiosk 20.
  • at least some of the steps may be performed by an operator at a check-in or baggage drop counter 20.
  • step S I the user confirms his or her identity, for example by presenting a document such as a boarding pass, loyalty scheme (e.g. frequent flyer) card and/or passport or other identity document.
  • the document may be scanned automatically at the kiosk, and the user may be prompted to provide further details to confirm that he or she is the legitimate bearer of the document, for example by providing biometric data such as a fingerprint or retina scan, by providing a password, or by providing a payment card used to pay for the flight.
  • biometric data such as a fingerprint or retina scan
  • password e.g. frequent flyer
  • step S2 if the user is authenticated, then the data to be written to the tag 1 is retrieved or generated by the computer system or kiosk, for example from the database 22 or another data source.
  • the data may include the name of the user and details of the flight(s) on which the baggage associated with the tag 1 is to be transported.
  • the data may include details of the baggage item 40 to which the tag 1 is to be attached, such as the weight of the item.
  • step S3 the retrieved data are written to the memory 11 of the tag 1, for example by bringing the tag 1 into proximity to an NFC interface of the kiosk or computer system, and the tag 1 then updates the displays 2a and 2b to display the retrieved data as the barcode 4 and/or human-readable information 5.
  • the tag 1 may store a tag ID code that is communicable to external devices via the machine-readable code 4 and/or via the NFC interface 12.
  • the kiosk or computer system may read the tag ID code during the method described above, and associate the tag ID with the user's details on a database.
