Abstract

An anti-counterfeiting RFID tag structure includes a body and a RFID device disposed on the body. The body is an O-ring. The RFID device includes a RFID chip circuit and an antenna structure. The anti-counterfeiting RFID tag structure is disposed fully between the cap and the opening of the bottle container whenever the bottle container is sealed. A user reads anti-counterfeiting ID code and product curriculum vitae data stored in the RFID device, using a stationary or handheld RFID reader, so as to effectuate identification and anti-counterfeiting.

Claims (7)

1. An anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure, being annular and applicable to a bottle container with an opening and a cap, comprising:

a body being an O-ring; and

a radio frequency identification (RFID) device disposed on the body and including a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip circuit and an antenna structure, the antenna structure being annularly disposed on the O-ring, wherein a portion of the anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure is disposed between an inner side of the cap and the opening to allow the radio frequency identification (RFID) device to be laterally and annularly disposed at a periphery of the opening, while another portion of the anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure is exposed from the cap and the opening to thereby allow a laser label to be adhered to a surface of the exposed portion of the anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure, whenever the bottle container is sealed,

wherein a user reads anti-counterfeiting ID code and product-related manufacturing data stored in the radio frequency identification (RFID) device, using a stationary or handheld RFID reader, to effectuate identification and anti-counterfeiting;

wherein the anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure disposed between the inner side of the cap and the opening gets damaged and thus cannot read data as soon as the user rotates the cap to exert a force upon the cap's break point for dividing the cap into an upper cap and a lower cap.

2. The anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure of claim 1 , wherein the body is made of a non-metallic material selected from one of a polyethylene (PE) and a foamed material.

3. The anti-counterfeiting radio frequency identification (RFID) tag structure of claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identification (RFID) device is electrically connected to a sensing unit for sensing temperature, humidity, and concentration of a specified substance of contents of the bottle container.
