Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless identification tag configured to harvest ambient energy and transmit an identification signal intermittently, and system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the tag may include a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to a first receiver in a first frequency, and to transmit a second signal to a second receiver in the first frequency. The tag may also include an energy storage component configured for collecting and storing ambient energy and for powering transmission of the transmitter. The tag may also include a circuit configured to monitor energy stored in the energy storage component, and to prevent the transmitter from transmitting the first signal to the first receiver when the energy stored in the energy storage component is insufficient to transmit the second signal to the second receiver.
