Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A manipulation-free transponder comprising: a resonant circuit for receiving an RF signal comprising at least a selective address from a transmit/receive unit, having a CRC generator, and for transmitting a modulated RF signal to said transmit/receive unit; a memory circuit having at least one EEPROM cell for storing a unique selective address; a selective address comparator for comparing said received selective address with said selective address stored in said EEPROM memory circuit and for sending an enable signal in response to the received selective address matching the stored selective address; a control logic circuit for enabling a function in response to an enable signal from said selective address comparator circuit and a predetermined block check character; and a CRC generator for generating a predetermined block check character in response to the stored selective address and the received selective address matching and the start value of said CRC generator in said transponder and said transmit/receive unit being essentially the same and for sending said block check result to said control logic circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
171 words
A manipulation-free transponder comprising: a resonant circuit for receiving an RF signal comprising at least a selective address from a transmit/receive unit, having a CRC generator, and for transmitting a modulated RF signal to said transmit/receive unit; a memory circuit having at least one EEPROM cell for storing a unique selective address; a selective address comparator for comparing said received selective address with said selective address stored in said EEPROM memory circuit and for sending an enable signal in response to the received selective address matching the stored selective address; a control logic circuit for enabling a function in response to an enable signal from said selective address comparator circuit and a predetermined block check character; and a CRC generator for generating a predetermined block check character in response to the stored selective address and the received selective address matching and the start value of said CRC generator in said transponder and said transmit/receive unit being essentially the same and for sending said block check result to said control logic circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The transponder of claim 1, wherein the control logic circuit accesses said start value of said CRC generator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The transponder of claim 1, wherein further said selective address comparator circuit sends a disable signal to said control logic circuit in response to said received selective address not matching said stored selective address.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The transponder of claim 1, wherein further said control circuit sends a discharge signal in response to a disable signal from said selective address comparator circuit or in receiving a block check character other than said predetermined block check character.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
The transponder of claim 4, further comprising: a rectifier for rectifying said RF signal; a storage capacitor for storing said rectified RF signal; and a transistor for discharging said storage capacitor in response to said discharge signal from said control logic circuit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The transponder of claim 5, wherein said transistor discharges said storage capacitor via conduction of said transistor, thereby shorting said capacitor to ground.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The transponder of claim 1, wherein said start value of said CRC generator is stored in said EEPROM.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The transponder of claim 1, wherein said selective address can only be modified at a predetermined time code.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
14 words
The transponder of claim 8, wherein said time code is stored in said EEPROM.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
The transponder of claim 3, wherein said EEPROM circuit has a programming and locking function, but not an unlocking function.
