Abstract
A radio frequency identification (RFID) broadcast signal is received. The RFID broadcast signal includes a broadcast identification value. The broadcast identification value is compared to an assigned identification value. Responsive to the broadcast identification value matching the assigned identification value, a processing device transitions a network interface to an active state.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving a radio frequency identification (RFID) broadcast signal comprising a broadcast identification value;
- comparing the broadcast identification value to an assigned identification value;
- and
- responsive to the broadcast identification value matching the assigned identification value, transitioning, by a processing device, a network interface to an active state, wherein the RFID broadcast signal is a first RFID broadcast signal, and wherein the assigned identification value is stored into a data store responsive to receiving a command via a second RFID broadcast signal that authorizes programming the assigned identification value.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- receive a radio frequency identification (RFID) broadcast signal comprising a broadcast identification value;
- compare the broadcast identification value to an assigned identification value wherein the assigned identification value comprises a plurality of assigned identification values, and wherein to compare the broadcast identification value to the assigned identification value the processing device is to compare the broadcast identification value to each of the plurality of assigned identification values;
- and
- responsive to the broadcast identification value matching the assigned identification value, transition a network interface to an active state.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- receive a radio frequency identification (RFID) broadcast signal comprising a broadcast identification value;
- compare the broadcast identification value to an assigned identification value;
- and
- responsive to the broadcast identification value matching the assigned identification value, transition, by the processing device, a network interface to an active state, wherein the RFID broadcast signal is a first RFID broadcast signal, and wherein the processing device is further to store the assigned identification value into a data store responsive to receiving a command via a second RFID broadcast signal that authorizes programming the assigned identification value.
