Abstract

An electronic tag system and a method of updating electronic tag information are provided. The electronic tag system includes: a communication device, configured to receive updated annual inspection information; a display device, configured to display the updated annual inspection information; and a power control device, connected to the communication device and the display device respectively and configured to: connect, when the communication device receives the updated annual inspection information, a power source to the display device electrically to power the display device, so as to perform updating of annual inspection information on the display device; and disconnect the power source from the display device when the updating is over.

Claims (43)

1. An electronic tag system, comprising:

a communication device, configured to receive updated annual inspection information;

a display device, configured to display the updated annual inspection information; and

a power control device, connected to the communication device and the display device respectively, and configured to:

connect, when the communication device receives the updated annual inspection information, a power source to the display device electrically to power the display device, so as to perform updating of annual inspection information on the display device; and

disconnect the power source from the display device when the updating is finished;

wherein the power control device comprises a wake-up circuit, a control circuit and a switch circuit;

wherein the control circuit is connected to the wake-up circuit, the power source and the switch circuit respectively, and the switch circuit is connected to the communication device and the display device respectively;

wherein the wake-up circuit is configured to wake the control circuit to switch from a sleep mode to an operating mode;

wherein the control circuit is configured to control, in the operating mode, the switch circuit to be turned on when it is detected that the communication device has received the annual inspection information, and control the switch circuit to be turned off and switch from the operating mode to the sleep mode when updating is finished; and

wherein the wake-up circuit comprises a touch switch, and the touch switch is configured to send, when a touch signal is received, a wake-up signal to the control circuit to wake the control circuit to switch from the sleep mode to the operating mode.

2. The electronic tag system according to claim 1 , wherein the switch circuit comprises a MOS switch or an electronic analog switch.

3. The electronic tag system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication device is configured to receive the updated annual inspection information via a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IOT) network.

4. The electronic tag system according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is an electronic paper screen.

5. The electronic tag system according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage device, connected to the communication device and the display device respectively and configured to store the updated annual inspection information.

6. The electronic tag system according to claim 5 , wherein the display device is configured to read the updated annual inspection information from the storage device during performing the updating of the annual inspection information.

7. A method of updating electronic tag information, comprising:

receiving updated annual inspection information;

connecting a power source to a display device electrically, to power the display device so as to perform updating of annual inspection information on the display device, and displaying the updated annual inspection information on the display device when the updating is finished; and

disconnecting the power source from the display device;

wherein connecting the power source to the display device electrically comprises:

switching from a sleep mode to an operating mode; and connecting the power source to the display device electrically, to power the display device;

wherein disconnecting the power source from the display device comprises:

disconnecting the power source from the display device and switching from the operating mode to the sleep mode; and

wherein switching from the sleep mode to the operating mode comprises switching from the sleep mode to the operating mode in response to a wake-up signal, and the wake-up signal is sent when a touch signal is received.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein receiving the updated annual inspection information comprises:

receiving the updated annual inspection information via a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IOT) network.

9. An electronic tag system, comprising: a processor, a memory and a program stored on the memory and executable by the processor, wherein when the program is executed by the processor, the following steps are performed:

receiving updated annual inspection information;

connecting a power source to a display device electrically, to power the display device so as to perform updating of annual inspection information on the display device, and displaying the updated annual inspection information on the display device when the updating is finished; and

disconnecting the power source from the display device;

wherein connecting the power source to the display device electrically comprises:

switching from a sleep mode to an operating mode; and connecting the power source to the display device electrically, to power the display device;

wherein disconnecting the power source from the display device comprises:

disconnecting the power source from the display device and switching from the operating mode to the sleep mode; and

wherein switching from the sleep mode to the operating mode comprises switching from the sleep mode to the operating mode in response to a wake-up signal, and the wake-up signal is sent when a touch signal is received.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a program thereon, wherein when the program is executed by a processor, steps of the method of updating the electronic tag information according to claim 7 are performed.

11. The electronic tag system according to claim 2 , further comprising a storage device, connected to the communication device and the display device respectively and configured to store the updated annual inspection information.

12. The electronic tag system according to claim 11 , wherein the display device is configured to read the updated annual inspection information from the storage device during performing the updating of the annual inspection information.

13. The electronic tag system according to claim 3 , further comprising a storage device, connected to the communication device and the display device respectively and configured to store the updated annual inspection information.

14. The electronic tag system according to claim 13 , wherein the display device is configured to read the updated annual inspection information from the storage device during performing the updating of the annual inspection information.

15. The electronic tag system according to claim 4 , further comprising a storage device, connected to the communication device and the display device respectively and configured to store the updated annual inspection information.

16. The electronic tag system according to claim 15 , wherein the display device is configured to read the updated annual inspection information from the storage device during performing the updating of the annual inspection information.
