One example method may include detecting a radio enabled label moving through an area, performing one or more contact operations to the radio enabled label, activating a power source embedded in the radio enabled label responsive to the one or more contact operations, and performing one or more of receiving and transmitting a radio signal via the radio enabled label while the power source is activated.

Activating a smart label via contact

One example may include detecting a radio enabled label is within a range of a sensor as the radio enabled label moves through an area, identifying an identifier to assign to the radio enabled label, transmitting a radio signal with the identifier to the radio enabled label to activate the radio enabled label, and determining via a microcontroller embedded in the radio enabled label whether to store the identifier when the identifier has new information compared to an existing identifier stored in a memory embedded in the radio enabled label.

Activating a smart label during encoding procedure

A system, including a housing having a front and a rear, a controller contained within the housing, a trigger module contained within the housing, the trigger module coupled to the controller, the trigger module receiving a trigger signal and outputting a range measurement signal, a range module contained within the housing, the ranging module coupled to the controller, the range module outputs a range data signal in response to the range measurement signal, a memory module contained within the housing, the memory module coupled to the controller, the memory module storing the range data signal, a wireless transceiver contained within the housing, the wireless transceiver coupled to the controller the wireless transceiver outputting the stored range data signal and an affixment coupled to the housing rear enabling physical connection to a shipping structure.

Load management using ranging

One example may include detecting, via a printer, a radio enabled label, retrieving, via the printer, an identifier from a local wireless communication device to assign to the radio enabled label, sending, via the printer, the identifier to a memory of the radio enabled label, and assigning the identifier to a plurality of microcontrollers embedded in the radio enabled label.

Provisioning a smart label in a printer

A radio enabled label and method can include receiving data at an antenna embedded in a radio enabled label using a communication protocol, storing the data in a memory associated with a first microcontroller embedded in the radio enabled label, responsive to a radio communication event with the radio enabled label, forwarding the data to a second microcontroller embedded in the radio enabled label, and broadcasting a portion of the data by the second microcontroller using a different communication protocol.

Provisioning a smart label with multiple microcontrollers

One example method may include detecting a change in a light impulse via a light sensor embedded in a radio enabled label, activating a power source embedded in the radio enabled label, identifying identifier information to receive at the radio enabled label, and receiving a radio signal at the radio enabled label with the identifier information.

Activating a smart label via an embedded light-emitting diode

One example may include a label with a top surface, a bottom surface, a number of electrical lead contacts, and a number of capacitors connected to the plurality of electrical lead contacts, and the electrical lead contacts and the capacitors are embedded between the top surface and the bottom surface of the label.

Smart label fast charging configuration

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices for tracking a shipment using a wireless tracker. In such embodiments, the wireless tracker determines a location of the wireless tracker device and regulates battery usage of wireless tracker based on the location. In addition, the wireless tracker is configured to determine a current location of the wireless tracker device at one or more intervals such that the one or more intervals are based on a delivery route of the shipment. Moreover, the wireless tracker is configured to receive and verify one or more codes to for a chain of custody of the shipment. Also, the wireless tracker is configured to determine a trigger event based on the location of the wireless tracker device and/or sensor information as well as send a notification to a computer server based on the trigger event.
