as I posted before [link] in the article as shown :

وقال الشايجى ان هناك تطويرا هائلا وسريعا فى تكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات والحاسبات وغيره حيث تجرى تجارب فى بعض الشركات الدولية على اضافة لاقط ( انتينا ) على البطاقات الذكية بحيث يسمح ذلك بتحديث بيانات البطاقة الذكية عن بعد وبين مثالا لذلك لاستخدام حيث انه من الممكن تسجيل بيانات مخالفة مرورية لتجاوز الاشارة الحمراء عن طريق التقاط رقم السيارة بالكاميرا الموجودة عند الادارة ثم ارسال هذا الرقم الى قاعد بيانات الداخلية ” سجل تسجيل المركبات ” لمعرفة الرقم المدني لصاحب المركبة ثم ارسال هذه المعلومات عن طريق ” الستلايت ” الى البطاقة الذكية لتسجيل او دفع الغرامة وهذا هو مثال على تطور العلم والتكنولوجيا الذى يجب ان نكون نحن جاهزين لاستقباله

This scenario it can be done in the feature it called contactless smart card see demonstration of the contactless smart card

rfid jewellery tags

10 Feb 2009

DAILY RFID(www.rfid-in-china.com) has announced the smallest RFID Jewellery Tag, designed to enable automatic jewellery tracking in retail, wholesale, or secured storage applications. With an over 3 foot read range, this tag has robust potential to inventory tracking.

With smallest size of 12mm x 26 mm and 0.6mm thick, this RFID tag neither affects any pieces of jewellery nor the look of the box carrying it. In addition,each RFID tag can be printed with logo for customization.

All you need to do is keep the jewelry and RFID read-write tags together and the system will get you all the data with regards to them.A RFID reader can then read all the imformation of the jewellery in the shop at the click of the button, such as product name, the date of production and so on.

The new tags enable entire trays of tagged jewellery to be simultaneously scanned into an RFID-enabled system, eliminating the need for individual scanning and increasing staff efficiency.

Thanks to an RFID-based tracking system, parents can drop off their kids at an indoor playground, then view them in real time at kiosks located throughout the store.

Feb. 11, 2008—Kuwait retailer MS Retail is offering an RFID-based tracking system at its new children’s superstore, Baroue, to enable parents to monitor their kids as they play in the store’s playground. The system is provided by Mideast systems integrator TagStone using Ubisense RFID readers, tags and cameras and Ubisense’s Spatial Location Platform software.

Baroue is a 6,500-square-meter (70,000-square-foot) store selling 20,000 products for children, including toys, clothing and infant accessories. Dubbed as the store that offers “extravagance for kids,” it is designed to encourage families to take their time when visiting. Baroue features a juice and coffee bar, a photo booth and workshops, as well as a playground featuring a giant sea serpent kids can climb on, straight and spiral slides, a “magical” harp that plays without strings, a sand pit and a jungle gym.

At the playground, parents can leave their children with staff members who provide childcare. Parents can then monitor their kids from one of five information terminals located around the store, says Hergen Meyer, TagStone’s business development manager.

At the entrance to the Sea Serpent playground, each child is assigned a wristband in the form of a plush toy lion. Inside the wristband, according to Charles Sturman, Ubisense’s marketing VP, is a Ubisense ultra-wideband (UWB) battery-powered RFID tag. The parents are given a ticket with a number corresponding to that child’s unique ID number.

As a child plays, the wristband transmits a stream of extremely short 6-to-8 GHz signals encoded with that child’s ID number. The signal is picked up by several of the 20 RFID readers deployed throughout the playground. The ID number and transmission strength are forwarded to the store’s back-end system via an Ethernet connection. Ubisense software interprets the data as it is captured, then calculates the child’s location within 5 centimeters (2 inches) by measuring the tag’s elevation and angle of transmission, as well as the transmission’s time distance of arrival (TDOA) at several readers.

As parents shop, they can stop at one of the store’s information kiosks and input the ticket’s ID number. A screen displays a map of the playground with a small dot indicating their child’s exact playground location. The parents can then press another prompt to display digital images of the child at play.

Sturman says the use of ultra-wideband RFID is essential to pinpointing a child’s location within a few centimeters. “Ultra wideband is used for sending a pulse with a very short signal,” he says. “With that short pulse, you can measure how long it took to receive that signal,” and determine the location with great accuracy.

Previously, TagStone piloted a UWB system at an exhibit hall, locating employees as they moved around a large room. However, Meyer notes, this is the first use of a UWB RFID people-tracking system with cameras. Similar systems have been deployed for logistics tracking (see RFID Helps Cordes & Simon Document Shipments).

According to Sturman, Baroue’s child-tracking system has not had any glitches since operation began. “The only problem has been availability,” he says. The playground’s capacity is limited because the store has a total of only 200 RFID wristbands (at a cost of about $80 apiece), which means that no more than 200 kids can use the playground at any given time. As a result, children and parents queue up for the playground in very large numbers, sometimes causing a delay.

I just came from there and it was fun . I hope they make aqua park [site] the same here in kuwait .

Watch

Imagine spending an entire day in the park, enjoying the rides, the food, the drinks and even buying great stuff from Souq Al Wadi, and not having to carry a single buck in your pocket! At Wild Wadi you can do just that. Our cashless payment system (just a techie term for a nifty waterproof wristband) stores electronic credits, which can be used to buy whatever you need in the park.

If any credit is left over you can have it refunded at the end of the day.

TagStone and Ubisense collaborated to create an accurate, reliable and secure solution for MS Retail’s flagship Baroue, the regions first one-stop-shop for children and parents, enabling parents to monitor their children while they play. Built upon Ubisense’s proven precision RTLS system, parents are able to monitor their children in a playground area and can check the whereabouts and activities of at info kiosks around the store.

Opened on the 20th of September 2007 at the newly developed Avenues Mall, Kuwait – Baroue features a giant Sea Serpent playground the length of four London busses, and is over 40ft high. The playground features straight and spiral slides, a magical harp, sand pit and jungle gym.
