Tag Me
How to earn the honor to be (RFID) tagged?
the application (laced with an after taste from the unacceptable events of blocking valid ticket holders' entrance to the Disneyland Hong Kong about month ago). Somehow, the attendees, to a park or to a public event with a restricted perimeter, will be 'tagged' by having a RFID-tag embedded card (like an Octopus card). Whereabouts of these attendees can be monitored and appropriate 'crowd control' measures can be activated. If 'crowd control' means I can find out where not the crowd is, then please TAG me. Tell me where to line up and TAG me - fine, I will describe how an Hong Kong ID can be encapsulated in the 96-bit EPC (see, unlike a Social Security Number in the States, we do have a 'letter' in the ID). It is fine with me if my 'movement' in some URN form got sent to the 'global EPC network'. Some EPC-RFID-Space crawler will chart my whereabouts of any day and make available to all webizens - that could include your mom, my uncle, and the couple next door. I would go to South Korea and get a cell phone that 'reads' RFID tags (wonder if the Ubiquitous Sensor Network, or USN is in deployment over the nation - I was told 2006 is the year when I visited the AutoID-Labs last August). I will reduce my daily boredom time by scanning my on-body RFID tag once in a while for fun. So, please tag me, anyone?
