Processes for distribution and use of a mobile rfid container

A method for distributing RFID-tagged items using a mobile RFID container configured to carry a plurality of RFID-tagged items, the mobile RFID container comprising an RFID detector configured to conduct RFID scans and generate scan data concerning the RFID-tagged items carried in the mobile RFID container, and location determining circuitry for generating location data concerning the location of the mobile RFID container, the method comprising:

• defining one or more geofence boundaries, each of which corresponds to a particular geographical location;
• monitoring the location data to determine the location of the mobile RFID container;
• and
• performing at least one automated process in response the location of the mobile RFID container relative to at least one geofence boundary.

A method for distributing RFID-tagged item using a mobile RFID container that is configured to carry a plurality of RFID-tagged items, the container comprising an RFID detector configured to conduct RFID scans and generate scan data concerning the RFID-tagged items contained within the mobile RFID container, the method comprising:

• stocking the mobile RFID container with a plurality of RFID-tagged items at a first geographic location;
• subsequent to said stocking step, conducting one more RFID scans to generate scan data concerning the contents of the mobile RFID container;
• transporting the mobile RFID container to a second geographic location that is remote from the first geographic location;
• subsequent to said transporting step, conducting one more additional RFID scans to generate scan data concerning the contents of the mobile RFID container;
• and
• processing the scan data to determine if the contents of the mobile RFID container have changed while the mobile RFID container is at the second geographic location.
