The 2010 World Expo was opened in Shanghai on May 1. This is the largest and most expensive World Expo ever, with a total of 241 countries and organizations participating. In addition to official participants, there are also non-official participants, including non-governmental international organizations, cities and enterprises. The theme of this year’s edition is “Better City, Better Life”. In addition to the National Pavilion, the host country also invited about 103 companies from the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to jointly build a pavilion for exhibition, revealing a total of 80 urban wisdom. From food, clothing, housing and transportation to corporate culture, four major themes are included: livable homes, sustainable urbanization, historical heritage protection and utilization, and technological innovation in the built environment. The host country intends to use this to express human beings’ retrospection and reflection on urban life, and to show their imagination of future life and their confidence in improving urban life.
When the science and technology of various countries flourish at the Shanghai World Expo, a new type of technology application that is close to the needs of the people should not be underestimated. This new type of “smart life” is the “ubiquitous” feature provided by RFID, including intelligence, real-time, interaction, identification and personalization. In this World Expo, we can see that RFID has penetrated into food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, entertainment and other aspects of life, bringing more convenient and high-quality life to the city.
RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a radio frequency identification technology, also known as an electronic label. It is a communication technology that uses radio signals to identify specific targets and read and write related data. No additional mechanical or optical contact is required between the recognition system and the specific target. In other words, it is the use of radio waves to transmit identification data to achieve the purpose of identification. RFID is no longer just a simple electronic label. It does not require manual reading. Compared with traditional bar code labels, RFID can contain more information and has more diversified uses. The author experienced various convenient services brought by RFID in this World Expo. For example: ordering tickets via mobile phone saves the waiting time for ticket purchase; or when shopping in stores, making small payments via mobile phone Expo tickets to save money The inconvenience of paying and finding money. Experience the convenience brought by RFID technology in various exhibition halls. RFID is widely used in this World Expo, including staff identification cards, tourist admission tickets, exhibition hall guide introduction, food safety, park vehicle management and control, and book information circulation. This report will sequentially introduce the combined application of the above-mentioned smart technologies and the Expo.
Work Permit
In the Expo’s access control management application, in order to effectively manage all the staff in the park, the work permit is embedded with an RFID chip, and the basic information, photos, affiliation, responsible position and employee number of each staff are recorded in it. Use RFID with the characteristics of remote identification, read the information in the work card, and record the information of its activities.
Each RFID work card is assigned a unique identification number, and the corresponding authority is given according to the unit to which the staff belongs and the nature of the work. When staff pass through the passageway or doorway in the park, the system will display their personal information according to the authority granted to each staff, and determine whether to allow entry into the exhibition hall. If an employee enters an unauthorized area, the system will issue a warning to notify the relevant department personnel to deal with it. The whole process does not require human action, the reading speed is fast and multiple people are allowed to pass through at the same time, so that the Shanghai World Expo can be more effective in access control management.
In order to solve the problem of meals for all staff, there are a total of 6 staff restaurants in the park, and the staff’s meal expenses are recorded in the RFID chip in the staff card. Therefore, when the staff enters the staff restaurant to order, they only need to use the work card When the cash register placed at the counter senses, the system will automatically check the identity of the RFID card and connect with the back-end data center to complete the deduction. This application can speed up the processing of counter operations and effectively manage the cost of meals for employees.
Not only that, the work permit also has a small payment mechanism. Employees only need to store value in cash to make purchases in more than 1,000 special stores in the park, so that all employees can enjoy the convenience of RFID after work. , To personally experience the scientific and technological performance of this Expo.

RFID tickets, RFID micropayments, RFID subway
The Shanghai World Expo will bring together many high-tech applications. Among them, the development of RFID technology with the concept of object Internet is the most eye-catching. It is used in Expo RFID tickets, Expo mobile RFID tickets, RFID micropayments and subway tickets, etc., and builds the intelligence of information exchange. LifeNet enables Expo visitors to experience the convenience brought by RFID technology while enjoying the characteristics of countries and companies.
In the Expo ticket system, due to the large number of tourists, safety and speed have become important issues in management and control. The organizer solves this problem by embedding the ticket with an autonomous sensor chip through RFID technology. If the back of the ticket is irradiated with strong light, you can clearly see the RFID loop antenna. Its function is mainly to record visitor data and exchange information with sensors in the park through wireless means, so that visitors can enter the park. It only needs to be about 10 cm away from the reading and writing equipment to sense and allow visitors to enter the park smoothly. In the park, some exhibition halls are equipped with RFID readers. When visitors bring their RFID tickets close to the readers, the information of the visiting route will be imported into the central control system of the Expo so that the organizer can know The flow of people in each exhibition hall can adjust the temperature in the hall at any time, and can effectively deploy the vehicles in the park, so that visitors can experience the convenience of high-tech.
In addition to ordinary paper RFID tickets, the Shanghai World Expo also cooperated with China Mobile to launch RFID World Expo mobile tickets; there is no need to change the mobile phone number, only the RFID-SIM card needs to be replaced, and it can be achieved through simple mobile phone operations. Functions such as purchasing tickets for the World Expo and checking tickets. If visitors deposit cash in a dedicated account connected to the RFID-SIM card, they can use their mobile phones to make purchases in more than 1,000 cooperative stores such as McDonald’s, Starbucks, Barbera, etc., and realize the RFID micropayment mechanism. Users can shop conveniently, which also enables store personnel to speed up the checkout procedures. In addition, the number of visitors to the Shanghai World Expo in a single day is 350,000 to 400,000. In order to ensure smooth traffic, China Mobile has cooperated with Shanghai Metro. When visitors go to the Shanghai World Expo site, visitors can first activate the mobile wallet function of Expocom, store value in the RFID-SIM card, and use the mechanism of swiping mobile phones to enter the subway station and take the subway, saving the inconvenience of carrying cash.
