     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     A first preferred embodiment of a self-adhesive type radio frequency anti-counterfeiting and anti-reclamation label in the present invention, as shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , includes a label  1 , which is a self-adhesive label, a radio frequency identification system  2  and a tearing region  3  combined together. The label  1  is provided with characters or patterns or a design layer  10  of characters and patterns. The label  1  has its inner surface formed with a gluing layer  11 , which is further disposed with a separable layer. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the radio frequency identification system  2  is installed at the outer side of the gluing layer  11  of the label  1  and provided with a foundation plate  20  disposed thereon with an identification chip  21  and an antenna  22  that serves as a passive source of signals sent out by the identification chip  21 . The radio frequency identification system  2  can have its surface provided with a gluing layer  23 , as shown in  FIG. 1  or provided with no gluing layer  23 , as shown in  FIG. 2 . The gluing layer  23  of the radio frequency identification system  2  is to cooperate with the gluing layer  11  on the inner surface of the label  1  for adhering to the packages on the containers of commodities; therefore, if the radio frequency identification system  2  has no gluing layer  23  provided on the surface, the tearing region  23  can produce a floating attached effect for facilitating the tearing region  3  to be torn away from the label  1 . The radio frequency identification system  2  can be provided with one single identification chip of high frequency or ultra high frequency, or provided with two identification chips respectively of high frequency or ultra high frequency, or both are of high frequency or of ultra high frequency. The antenna  22  can be one single loop circuit, or two loop circuits or more than two loop circuits. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 2 and 3 , the tearing region  3  is provided between the label  1  and the radio frequency identification system  2  for the radio frequency identification system  2 , the identification chip  21  or the antenna  22  to be positioned therein. The formation of the tearing region  3  is to form tearing holes  30 , as shown in  FIGS. 4-7 , or tearing lines  31 , or tearing holes and tearing lines, as shown in  FIGS. 8-10 , between the label  1  and the tearing region  3 . Thus, before purchasing a commodity, a consumer can employ an intelligent mobile device to read the contents of the commodity by the identification chip  21 , or after purchasing, the consumer can employ an intelligent mobile device to directly read the identification chip  21  for connecting to the data bank of the manufacturer for realizing the curriculum vitae of the commodity. After the commodity is used, the label  1  can directly be torn off manually, as shown in  FIGS. 4-6  and  8 - 10 , or the tearing region  3  can be torn apart, as shown in  FIG. 7 , to have the label separated from the radio frequency identification system, or have the identification chip separated from the antenna at the same time, letting the original label impossible to be recycled and thus attaining an objective of anti-counterfeiting. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 3 ,  4  and  8 - 10 , the radio frequency identification system  2  is installed within the tearing region  3  so that a consumer can make use of the tearing holes  30  or the tearing line  31  or both the tearing holes and the tearing lines of the tearing region  3  to tear down the label  1  and leave the tearing region  3 , or utilize the tearing holes  30  or the tearing lines  31  or both the tearing holes  30  and the tearing lines  31  to tear apart the tearing region  3  and leave the label  1 . Since the radio frequency identification system  2  is provided with no gluing layer  23  on the surface to let the tearing region  3  form a floating attached state, therefore, the tearing region  3  can conveniently be torn down from the label  1 , as shown in  FIG. 2 . 
       FIG. 5  shows that the identification chip  21  of the radio frequency identification system  2  is installed within the tearing region  3  while the antenna  22  is extended out of the tearing region  3 , and  FIG. 6  shows that the antenna  22  of the radio frequency identification system is positioned within the tearing region  3  while the identification chip  21  is installed out of the tearing region  3 . Thus, a consumer can tear down the label  1  and leave the tearing region  3  by making use of the tearing holes  30  or the tearing lines  31  or both the tearing holes  30  and the tearing lines  31  of the tearing region  3 , or tear off the tearing region  3  and leave the label  1  by utilizing the tearing holes  30 , the tearing lines  31  or the tearing holes  30  and the tearing lines  31 . At this time, since no gluing layer  23  is provided no the surface of the radio frequency identification system  2  to let the tearing region  3  form a floating attached state; therefore, the tearing region  3  can be conveniently torn away from the label  1 , as shown in  FIG. 2 , to force the antenna  22  to be separated from the identification chip  21  and directly destroy the structure of the radio frequency identification system  2 , thus equally able to attain an objective of anti-counterfeiting and anti-reclamation, as shown in  FIG. 11B . Of course,  FIGS. 5 and 6  can be applied to all the preferred embodiments of  FIGS. 3 ,  4  and  7 - 10 . 
     To sum up, the self-adhesive type radio frequency anti-counterfeiting and anti-reclamation label in the present invention can be stuck to packages or containers, as shown in  FIGS. 11A-11C . Since the identification chip and the antenna of the radio frequency identification system are installed within the tearing region of the label; therefore, through the conditions between the label and the tearing region, the structure of the self-adhesive type radio frequency anti-counterfeiting and anti-reclamation label can be changed to directly destroy the integrity of the label. In addition, consumers are able to understand the curriculum vitae of the commodities by means of the identification chip and even after purchasing, consumers can directly enter a manufacturer&#39;s data bank for judging whether the commodity is genuine or not, able to prevent illegal fakes from seizing the markets. 
     While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
