An RFID management system for multimedia applications

This paper presents a radio-frequency identification (RFID) system for the management of manufacture, logistics, and services of multimedia consumer electronic devices. An RFID tag is embedded in each multimedia device in order to provide a unique identification code for each device. An RFID reader transmits electromagnetic waves to an RFID tag to deliver DC power to a low-power microcontroller unit (MCU) in the tag. The system monitors and controls the multimedia consumer electronic devices through the RFID reader and tag. The RFID management system exhibits the flexible functions of configuration programming and firmware installation and provides efficient capability for the management of multimedia consumer electronic devices.
