Flexible label with activating circuitry

1. A label sensor comprising:

a first section, wherein the label sensor is operable to be affixed to an item, and wherein the first section includes:

memory;

an environmental sensor;

a radio frequency (RF) front end; and

a processing module operably coupled to the memory, the environmental sensor, and the RF front end; and

a second section that includes an activation circuit, wherein the activation circuit is operable, upon receiving an input, to activate one or more of the memory, the environmental sensor, the RF front end and the processing module, and wherein the activation causes the label sensor to be put in an operational mode of a plurality of operational modes, and wherein the activation circuit includes one or more removable layers operably coupled to the label sensor, wherein a first layer of the one or more removable layers, when removed, is operable to enable the operational mode.

2. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of operational modes comprises two or more of:

initially activating a computing device;

initializing of coefficients for data processing;

configuration of the label sensor by a user;

operation of the memory;

operation of the environmental sensor;

operation of the RF front end; and

operation the processing module.

3. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the label sensor is fabricated on a flexible circuit board.

4. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the input comprises one or more of:

a radio frequency (RF) signal;

an electrical input; and

a mechanical input.

5. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the RF front end includes one or more of:

a receiver;

a transmitter;

an antenna; and

a tuning circuit.

6. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the activation circuit further comprises:

two switches, wherein a first combination of activation of the two switches enables the operational mode, and wherein a second combination of activation of the two switches enables a second operational mode of the plurality of operational modes.

7. The label sensor of claim 1 further comprises:

a first portion of the label sensor being operable to move one or more distances with respect to a second portion of the label sensor, wherein the movement of the first portion with respect to the second portion of a first distance of the one or more distances is operable to enable the operational mode.

8. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the item comprises one or more of:

a container;

a box;

a vial;

a package;

a personal item;

a pet;

an automobile component; and

an article of manufacture.

9. The label sensor of claim 1 , wherein the environmental sensor is operable to determine one or more quantities comprising one or more of:

a moisture;

a temperature;

a pressure;

a humidity;

an altitude;

a sonic wave;

a human contact;

a surface condition;

a tracking; and

a location.
