Abstract

A learning device using RFID tags is provided. The learning device includes a platform and at least one RFID tag unit. The tag unit includes at least one RFID tag with an identification code and a magnet at the inner space of the RFID tag unit. When the RFID tag unit is placed at an interrogation zone of the platform, the magnet actuates the magnet-induced switch to turn on and drives the power supply device to provide power. The signal S 1 from the RFID tag is transmitted though the RFID reader for decoding and the processing unit for processing. The signal is sent to an audio/video output device for displaying and broadcasting. A plurality of platforms are formed a platform array, each of the platform including at least one receiver and at least one transmitter correspondent to the receiver, the transmitter transmitting a signal which represents the position of the transmitter, while the receiver receiving signals from the transmitter to recognize the relative positions of the platforms.

Claims (9)

1. A learning device, comprising:

at least one RFID tag unit, each of which having an outer surface, an inner space, and a shielding device mounted in the inner space, the shielding device being arranged adjacent to an inductive area defined on the outer surface of the tag unit;

a RFID tag, which is stored with an identification code and is mounted in the inner space of each tag unit;

a platform with at least one interrogation zone thereon; and

a RFID reader system installed in the platform;

the shielding device including a magnet, and the interrogation zone of the platform being provided with a magnet-actuated switch, the magnet-actuated switch being actuated by the magnet when RFID the tag unit is placed on the interrogation zone of the platform;

wherein when the RFID tag unit is placed on the interrogation zones of the platform, the RFID reader system reads the RFID tag of the RFID tag unit.

2. The learning device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnet-actuated switch is connected to a power supply device for supplying a power source to the RFID reader system when the magnet-actuated switch is actuated by the magnet.

3. The learning device as claimed in claim 1 , at least one visible symbol representing the identification code being labeled on a message zone defined on the outer surface of each RFID tag unit.
