Abstract
A universal radio frequency identification reader and emulation handheld device and system configured to read and emulate radio frequency identification tags in the low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency spectrums (from 30 kHz to 1050 MHz). The system may include a mobile or a web application to control and interact with the handheld device. The system may allow for the saving of radio frequency identification tag information in cloud infrastructure for later emulation.
Claims20
A universal RFID device comprising:
- radio frequency circuitry configured to:
- read a low frequency RFID tag;
- read a high frequency RFID tag;
- read an ultra-high frequency RFID tag;
- emulate a low frequency RFID tag;
- emulate a high frequency RFID tag;
- and
- emulate an ultra-high frequency RFID tag;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:

- control the radio frequency to read the first RFID tag based on the first command;
- receive a second command to emulate a second RFID tag;
- and
- control the radio frequency to read the first RFID tag based on the first command.
12 more elements
A universal RFID device comprising:
- a low frequency antenna;
- a high frequency antenna;
- an ultra-high frequency antenna;
- a battery;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- receive a read command from a mobile application to read a first RFID tag;
- read information within the first RFID tag in response to receiving the read command;
- and
- transmit, via a communication interface, the information within the first RFID tag to the mobile application;
- or
