A data converter and its converting method having both the functions of barcode technology and RFID technology, and conforming with related regulations of international civil aviation are disclosed. The data converter includes a barcode reading module, a processing module, and a reading module. The converting method includes the following steps: (1) Reading an external barcode data Sby the barcode reading module; (2) Reading the external barcode data Sread by the barcode reading module by the barcode reading module from a memory; (3) Reading the date data (preset data S) from the RTC (Real Time Clock) by the processing module; (4) Reading the data arrangement format defined within the firmware by the processing module; (5) Combining the external barcode data Sand the preset data Sin accordance with the arranged format by the processing module; (6) Writing the combined data into a register memory by the processing module; (7) Starting the RFID module by the processing module; (8) Reading the combined data from the register memory by the processing module and writing into the RFID medium memory through the RFID module.

Data converter and its converting method

A temperature tracking and monitoring system used for commodities transportation comprises a deliver unit, a control computer and a monitor and control unit. The deliver unit comprises a transportation means, at least a glove compartment, a RFID tag and a RFID reader. The glove compartment is disposed in the transportation device the RFID tag is disposed in the glove compartment and has provision for transmitting an identification code. The control computer is adapted to communicate with the RFID reader to receive a temperature signal and the identification code. The control computer transmits a positioning request signal, receives real-time position data, transforms the real-time position data into a position signal and transmitting the position signal, the temperature signal and the identification code in a specific manner. The monitor and control portion comprises a positioning device and a logistics center. The positioning device transmits the real-time position data to the control computer in response to the positioning request signal. The logistics center receives the position signal, the temperature signal and the identification code so as to acquire information of a position and a temperature of the glove compartment reading content of a local message.
