Systems and methods of using implanted or wearable micro electronic devices and for using a mobile device to communicate with and manage such micro electronic devices
A system and apparatus utilize a micro electronic device implanted in a person or group of persons, or wearable thereby, to manage a variety of activities, including gaining electronic access to an electronic lock, an electronic checkout kiosk at a store, a personal computer, a computer network, a vehicle lock or ignition, or a medical records database. The system includes an RF microdevice having an electronic identification code and attaching the microdevice to the user, an RF login system including an RF reader and a login processor. The user brings the microdevice near the reader, whereby the RF reader communicates with the microdevice via RF signals, and the RF reader signals the iogin processor to corroborate the identification code. If the processor does not corroborate the identification code, a login is not confirmed.
1. A system for accessing an electronic lock, an electronic checkout kiosk at a store, a personal computer (“PC”), a computer network, a vehicle lock or ignition, or a medical records database, comprising;
A. a radio frequency (“RF“) microdevice having an electronic identification code, and adapted to be attached, subcutaneously, to a user, the RF microdevice being a radio-frequency indentification (RFID) chip having a housing, an antenna disposed inside the housing, a microprocessor disposed inside the housing and communicatively connected to the antenna, and a tuning capacitor disposed inside the housing and communicatively connected to the microprocessor, and wherein the electronic identification code is stored in or by the microprocessor;
B. an RF login system, including:
i. at least one RF reader disposed at a predetermined location on or near the electronic lock, the electronic checkout kiosk, the PC, the computer network, the vehicle lock or ignition, or the medical records database, and
ii. at least one login processor communicatively connected to the at least one RF reader and to a central processor of the electronic lock, the electronic checkout kiosk, the PC, the computer network, the vehicle lock or ignition, or the medical records database, the login processor having means to corroborate the electronic identification code on the RF microdevice; and
C. whereby, the user brings the RF microdevice near the at least one RF reader of the RF login system, further whereby:
i. the at least one RF reader communicates with the RF microdevice, via RF signals, to obtain the electronic identification code, and
ii. the at least one RF reader signals the at least one login processor to corroborate the electronic identification code, and
(1) if the at least one login processor corroborates the electronic identification code, the at least one login processor signals the central processor of the electronic lock, the electronic checkout kiosk, the PC, the computer network, the vehicle lock or ignition, or the medical records database to permit electronic access, or
(2) if the at least one login processor does not corroborate the electronic identification code, the at least one login processor signals the central processor of the electronic lock, the electronic checkout kiosk, the PC, the computer network, the vehicle lock or ignition, or the medical records database to not permit login.
