An RFID network design system comprising a website hosted on a host computer which generates and displays icons specifically directed to various RFID components of a RFID network on a computer screen display. The icons are able to be picked and dropped on a drawing screen by a remote user on a remote computer operated by the user and connected to the host computer website. The host computer is provided with software which only allows selected RFID components to be connected together to form a RFID network when the RFID components are compatible with each other with the connected components forming a workable RFID network displayed on a display screen.
An RFID network design system comprising a website hosted on a host computer which generates and displays icons specifically directed to various RFID components of a RFID network on a computer screen display, said icons being able to be picked and dropped on a drawing screen by a remote user on a remote computer operated by the user and connected to said host computer website, said host computer including software which only allows selected RFID components to be connected together to form a RFID network when the components are compatible with each other, said connected components forming a workable RFID network displayed on a display screen.
An RFID design system comprising a host computer which has a display of pallets of icons, each pallet displaying icons directed to specific hardware and software components required for a RFID network, said icons being able to be picked and dropped on a drawing screen connected to a remote user on a remote computer operated by the user, software contained in said host computer which compares the compatibility of connected icons allowing said icons to be connected together when said software recognizes that the components represented by the icons are compatible and work together but refuses to allow incompatible icons to be connected together, said connected components forming a workable RFID network which can be downloaded by a user.
An RFID design system comprising a host computer which has a display of pallets of icons, each pallet displaying icons directed to specific components for a RFID network, said icons being able to be picked and dropped on a drawing screen connected to a remote user on a remote computer operated by the user, software contained in said host computer comprising a software rules engine which enforces connection between the components so that components that are known to work together are not allowed to be connected to each other and components that are known to work together are allowed to be connected to each other, said connected components forming a workable RFID network drawing which can be downloaded by a user, said RFID network drawing being saved to a file that is used to configure the RFID network at runtime.
