Abstract
A radio frequency identification (RFID) system includes a network RFID reader, an RFID tag, and an RFID reader. The network RFID reader is coupled to a network connection. The RFID tag is coupled to generate an RFID response signal in response to an RFID signal. The RFID reader is coupled to provide the RFID signal to the RFID tag and to provide the RFID response signal to the network RFID reader.
Claims27
A radio frequency identification (RFID) system comprises:
- a network RFID reader coupled to a network connection;
- an RFID tag coupled to generate an RFID response signal in response to an RFID signal;
- and
- an RFID reader coupled to:
- provide the RFID signal to the RFID tag;
- and
- provide the RFID response signal to the network RFID reader.
4 more elements
A radio frequency identification (RFID) system comprises:
- a network RFID reader coupled to a network connection;
- a plurality of RFID tags, wherein an RFID tag of the plurality of RFID tags is coupled to generate an RFID response signal in response to an RFID signal;
- and
- a plurality of RFID readers, wherein an RFID reader of the plurality of RFID readers is coupled to:
- provide the RFID signal to at least one of the RFID tag and a second RFID reader of the plurality of RFID readers;
- and
- provide the RFID response signal to at least one of the network RFID reader and a third RFID reader of the plurality of RFID readers.
4 more elements
A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader comprises:
- a receive section coupled to convert an inbound RFID signal into inbound data;
- a transmit section coupled to convert outbound data into an outbound RFID signal;
- and
- a processing module coupled to:
- interpret the inbound data;
- when the inbound data corresponds to an RFID request message from a network RFID reader or a third RFID reader, provide at least a portion of the inbound data corresponding to the RFID request message as the outbound data to the transmit section;
- and
- when the inbound data corresponds to an RFID response message from an RFID tag or a second RFID reader, provide the at least a portion of the inbound data corresponding to the RFID response message as the outbound data to the transmit section.
