Step 201, the work frequency sub-band of definition less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 is divided into a plurality of work frequency sub-band with a broad working frequency range; And the setting of frequency sub-band is stored in the storer of less radio-frequency electronic mark 100, so that the less radio-frequency electronic mark reads and set the work at present frequency sub-band when powering on, with the resonance band of control antenna; Step 201 can realize through FrequencyBand Selection circuit 1012 among the present invention, and the width of each work frequency sub-band is advisable with 20~30MHz in this step, with the ultrahigh frequency frequency range for example; Suppose that with 30MHz be a work frequency sub-band width, 840~870MHz is the first work frequency sub-band, and 870~900MHz is the second work frequency sub-band; 900~930MHz is the 3rd work frequency sub-band; 930~960MHz is the 4th work frequency sub-band, and only to illustrate, the present invention is not as limit here;
Step 202; When less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 gets into the default work frequency sub-band of read-write scope and read write line 200 known less radio-frequency electronic marks 100 of read write lines 200; The read write line 200 at first transmission continuous carrier on arbitrary frequency in the middle of each work frequency sub-band charges to sign; Each frequency sub-band time preferably is not less than 200us; Less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 can obtain enough energy under the situation of the frequency sub-band of how working and power on not knowing that read write line 200 will be provided with like this, and is preferable, and middle arbitrary frequency is preferably near the frequency center of each work frequency sub-band; Certainly, if having only one section effective wireless frequency, the two ends that this read write line working frequency range then can be set power on for this less radio-frequency electronic mark as the frequency of two emission continuous carriers respectively.
Step 203 after less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 powers on, reads the default work frequency sub-band of setting in the storer, and sets the work at present frequency sub-band of this default work frequency sub-band for this less radio-frequency electronic mark 100.Reading while write that device 200 also is provided with default for this reason work frequency sub-band with its work at present frequency range and determines whether to allow this less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 is that the work at present frequency sub-band carries out work with default work frequency sub-band;
Step 204 is that the work at present frequency sub-band carries out work if read write line 200 allows less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 with default work frequency sub-band, then directly gets into step 205; If read write line 200 does not allow less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 with the work of default work frequency sub-band; Do not know that such as read write line 200 the default work frequency sub-band of less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 perhaps need change the work frequency sub-band of electronic mark owing to the reason of information security or across country variant; Then read write line 200 sends an interim frequency sub-band select command Sel SubBand and gives interim setting or the interim redirect of less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 is carried out the work at present frequency sub-band; This interim frequency sub-band select command Sel SubBand heel frequency sub-band parameter gets into step 206;
Step 205, less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 carries out subsequent communications with this default work frequency sub-band and read write line 200;
Step 206; When interim frequency sub-band select command Sel SubBand that less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 receives that read write line 200 sends; Then be set to the frequency sub-band (i.e. the definite frequency sub-band of this frequency sub-band parameter) that interim frequency sub-band select command is confirmed according to interim frequency sub-band select command work at present frequency range; And return one to read write line and confirm the interim feedback signal of setting; Then less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 will carry out subsequent communications with frequency sub-band and the read write line that interim frequency sub-band select command is confirmed, need to prove, confirm that the feedback signal of interim setting can not returned under many tag environment.
Certainly; Because some specific needs; Will be for a long time, uses the permission working frequency range in being another range of countries of non-default work frequency sub-band like less radio-frequency electronic mark 100; The default work frequency sub-band that this just needs to change less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 carries out the fixedly setting or the fixedly redirect of work frequency sub-band, and second preferred embodiment of following radio frequency identification of the present invention system implementation method has then been realized this purpose.Be that with the first preferred embodiment of the invention difference second preferred embodiment of the invention also has subsequent step after step 206:
Step 207, read write line 200 continue to send stator Frequency Band Selection order Sel SubBand and give less radio-frequency electronic mark 100, and this stator Frequency Band Selection order Sel SubBand heel is setup parameter fixedly;
Step 208; Less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 then will be revised the frequency sub-band settings in the scratch pad memory after receiving the order of stator Frequency Band Selection, be about to the definite work frequency sub-band of current fixedly setup parameter and be revised as default work frequency sub-band; And return one to read write line and confirm the fixing feedback signal of setting; Equally, need to prove, confirm that the feedback signal of fixing setting can not returned yet under many tag environment.。
Certainly; For security needs, the present invention can also carry out the security that continuous redirect can strengthen electronic mark at the different operating frequency sub-band through making less radio-frequency electronic mark 100, specifically; Can realize continuous redirect work frequency sub-band through the control of 200 pairs of electronic marks of read write line; Promptly in certain time interval, repeat to send interim frequency sub-band select command,, be the frequency hopping mode of operation to realize the continuous redirect of work frequency sub-band to less radio-frequency electronic mark 100 through read write line.Wherein, the frequency of redirect can be adjusted as required, as in China; The frequency range of permission work has two, and one is 840-845MHz, and another is 920-925MHz; In order to increase the security of less radio-frequency electronic mark; Can make the continuously redirect between these two frequency ranges of less radio-frequency electronic mark, because these two frequency ranges differ 80MHz, the redirect between the frequency range can be played the information safety protection effect.
Empirical tests; The present invention carries out definition of work frequency sub-band and frequency hopping agreement through above-mentioned Frequency Band Selection circuit; Make the radio frequency import prime factor of less radio-frequency electronic mark chip of the present invention to bring up to 25-40 by original about 10; Improved selectivity greatly; And because this sensitivity meeting in a certain work frequency sub-band of less radio-frequency electronic mark of the present invention improves to a certain extent, then can weaken greatly, improve the security of less radio-frequency electronic mark for the response of the read write line that is operated in another work frequency sub-band simultaneously.In addition, the present invention makes other read write line can not comprehensively grasp the information and the state of electronic mark through the less radio-frequency electronic mark being carried out interim frequency hopping and the fixedly setting of frequency hopping, and the security that has improved electronic mark has reached the purpose of information security.
