Abstract
A radio frequency identification (RFID) apparatus includes a radio communication unit, a scanning unit, an analyzing unit, and a setting unit. The radio communication unit is configured to transmit and receive radio waves. The scanning unit is configured to control the radio communication unit to scan radio waves by receiving a received radio wave outputted from an external radio communication unit. The analyzing unit is configured to analyze the received radio wave to determine an in-use frequency band of the received radio wave of the external radio communication unit. The setting unit is configured to set a frequency band of a radio wave for use in the RFID apparatus to the in-use frequency band of the received radio wave of the external radio communication unit.
Claims16
A radio frequency identification (RFID) apparatus, comprising:
- a radio communication unit configured to transmit and receive radio waves;
- a scanning unit configured to control the radio communication unit to scan radio waves by receiving a received radio wave outputted from an external radio communication unit;
- an analyzing unit configured to analyze the received radio wave to determine an in-use frequency band of the received radio wave of the external radio communication unit;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set a frequency band of a radio wave for use in the RFID apparatus to the in-use frequency band of the received radio wave of the external radio communication unit.
A method of controlling an RFID apparatus including a radio communication unit, the method comprising:
- transmitting and receiving radio waves through the radio communication unit;
- controlling the radio communication unit to perform a scanning of radio waves by receiving a received radio wave outputted from an external radio communication unit;
- analyzing the received radio wave to determine an in-use frequency band of the external radio-communication unit;
- and
- setting a frequency band of a radio wave for use in the RFID apparatus to the in-use frequency band of the received radio wave of the external radio communication unit.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the operations of:
- transmitting and receiving radio waves through a radio communication unit included in an RFID apparatus;
- controlling the radio communication unit to perform a scanning of radio waves by receiving a received radio wave outputted from an external radio communication unit;
- analyzing the received radio wave to determine an in-use frequency band of the external radio communication unit;
- and
- setting a frequency band of a radio wave for use in the RFID apparatus to the in-use frequency band of the received radio wave of the external radio communication unit.
