Abstract
Systems () and methods () for operating a Security Tag ('ST'). The methods involve communicating a Wireless Signal ('WS') to ST () tag attached to an article () when a successful purchase thereof has been verified. WS includes a detach command. A mechanical component () of ST is caused to be released in response to a reception of WS at ST, whereby a pin () of ST transitions from an engaged position to an unengaged position without any human assistance or mechanical assistance by a device external to ST. An end () of the pin resides within an aperture () formed in a first portion () of an enclosure () spaced apart from a second portion () of the enclosure by a gap when the pin is in the engaged position. The pin is fully retracted into the second portion when it is in the unengaged position.
