Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving data comprising an RFID value transmitted by an RFID tag during a scanning task and an identifier for the scanning task. The RFID value and the identifier for the scanning task are combined to form a key and the key is applied to a hashing function to generate a memory index. The received data is stored at a memory location indicated by the memory index.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving data comprising an RFID value transmitted by an RFID tag during a scanning task and an identifier for the scanning task;
- combining the RFID value and the identifier for the scanning task to form a key;
- applying the key to a hashing function to generate a memory index;
- and
- storing the received data at a memory location indicated by the memory index.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a plurality of scanning devices providing a plurality of RFID values during a plurality of scanning tasks;
- and
- a plurality of compute services implemented on a plurality of servers, each compute service receiving an RFID value from the plurality of RFID values and an identifier for a scanning task that produced the RFID value, combining the RFID value and the identifier for the scanning task to form a key, hashing the key to form a memory index for a common memory used for all scanning tasks, and storing the RFID value in the common memory at a location indicated by the memory index.
