ABSTRACT:
An identification apparatus, such as may be incorporated into a band of material used as a wristband. An identification function is disposed in the band, along with an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) function, that may be selected to be at least one of an electro-magnetic or acousto-magnetic segment. The identification function is typically a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device. The EAS function segment operates independently of the RFID device, so that the presence or absence of one or more EAS segments can be detected without affecting the RFID function operation. In one embodiment, multiple segments are disposed on the band, with at least one segment having a different characteristic physical property than at least one other segment. The multiple segments may be formed on an upper and lower surface of the band, such that they overlap with one another in a vertical plane.
