Abstract
In embodiments of the present disclosure improved capabilities are described for a tag operating system for managing information collected and stored on or with respect to large fleets of asset, such as used in connection with the Internet of Things, with capabilities for providing improved intelligence and security in the local environment of an asset, in the network and in remote locations, such as in the cloud.
Claims21
A system for managing information, comprising:
- a plurality of radio frequency (RF) asset tags:
- a plurality of RF asset tag access devices communicatively coupled to at least one of the plurality of RF asset tags and configured to provide access to the communicatively coupled RF asset tag;
- a tag operating system operable on a central processing unit coupled to a memory, wherein the tag operating system is configured to operate across a computer network in conjunction with the plurality of RF asset tags and RF asset tag access devices to provide an operating environment accessible through a tag operating system user interface operable on a computing device connected to the computer network and remote from the plurality of RF asset tags and the plurality of RF asset tag access devices,
- wherein the tag operating system user interface provides an interface between the tag operating system and the computing device, wherein the computing device is communicatively coupled to an information technology system of an enterprise,
- wherein asset information is exchanged between the computing device and the plurality of RF asset tags across the computer network and through the plurality of RF asset tag access devices utilizing a communication protocol to access the plurality of RF asset tags via intervening interfaces and protocols of computing facilities communicatively connected between the computing device and the plurality of RF asset tags.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a tag operating computing facility, an asset tag write execution communication from a computing device through a tag operating system user interface, the asset tag write execution communication comprising an asset tag data and an asset tag identifier, the asset tag identifier corresponding to a radio frequency (RF) asset tag located remotely across a computer network from the computing device,
- wherein the tag operating system user interface provides an interface between the tag operating computing facility and the computing device, wherein the computing device is communicatively coupled to an information technology system of an enterprise;
- generating, by the tag operating computing facility, a remote asset tag write execution communication, wherein the remote asset tag write execution communication is adapted to write the asset tag data on the RF asset tag across the computer network utilizing a communication protocol to access the RF asset tag via intervening interfaces and protocols of networked computing facilities communicatively connected between the tag operating computing facility and the RF asset tag;
- transmitting, by the tag operating computing facility, the remote asset tag write execution communication to the RF asset tag;
- and
- receiving, by the tag operating computing facility, a remote asset tag execution response, wherein the remote asset tag write execution communication is received when wireless communication becomes available with the RF asset tag.
3 more elements
An asset intelligence platform, comprising:
- a tag operating system operable on a central processing unit coupled to a memory, wherein the tag operating system is configured to operate, across a computer network in conjunction with a user operating on a computing device through a user interface, a plurality of radio frequency (RF) asset tags and a plurality RF asset tag access devices to provide an operating environment, wherein the each of the plurality of RF asset tags are accessed by at least one of the plurality of RF asset tag access devices across an RF wireless communication interface, and wherein the user is able to exchange data with the plurality of RF asset tags remotely across the computer network by interacting with the user interface;
- a narrator application by which the user is enabled to manage information exchanged with the plurality of RF asset tag access devices;
- a cloud-based information hub application for user management of the information from the plurality of RF asset tags and the plurality of RF asset tag access devices located in disparate locations;
- a software library accessible by the tag operating system for providing at least one function that operates on the information exchanged with the plurality of RF asset tags;
- and a plug-in facility to provide an interface between the asset intelligence platform and the computing device, wherein the computing device is communicatively coupled to an information technology system of an enterprise,
- wherein, through the computing device, the user is able to remotely store and read the information with the plurality of RF asset tags across the computer network and through the plurality of RF asset tag access devices by operating within the user interface of the computing device, without regard to intervening interfaces and protocols associated with computing facilities communicatively connected between the computing device and the plurality of RF asset tags.
