## Abstract

An RFID tag data processing system is provided. RFID tag data read by an RFID reader are filtered by a filter module mounted on a mobile terminal according to filtering configuration. According to the results of the filtering operation, an address value of a content server is obtained from a connection data server. The address obtained from the connection data server is used to access the corresponding content server, thereby enabling a user to access necessary contents.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A data processing method comprising:
recognizing tag data by way of reading the tag data using an RFID reader embedded in a mobile communication terminal;
determining whether the recognized tag data requires additional information about an object associated with the tag data;
filtering the recognized tag data determined as requiring additional information using a filtering module embedded in the mobile communication terminal, wherein the filtering module makes a determination whether the recognized tag data is to be forwarded to a remote object directory server (ODS) to obtain the additional information about the object associated with the tag data; and
transferring the filtered tag data to the remote ODS, in response to a first result obtained from the filtering.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The data processing method according to claim 1, wherein the filtering module is configured in advance by a user to determine types of tag data that are to be transferred to the remote ODS.

### Claim 3

A data processing method comprising:
recognizing tag data by way of reading the tag data using an RFID reader embedded in a mobile communication terminal;
determining whether the recognized tag data requires additional information about an object associated with the tag data;
filtering the recognized tag data determined as requiring additional information using a filtering module embedded in the mobile communication terminal, wherein the filtering module makes a determination whether the recognized tag data is to be forwarded to a first server;
connecting the mobile communication terminal to the first server over a cellular network according to the results of the filtering to obtain connection data to a second server; and
connecting to the second server according to the obtained connection data to access the additional information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The data processing method according to claim 3, wherein the connection data comprises URL-based server position data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The data processing method according to claim 3, wherein the connection data comprises address data for receiving contents using an object ID or an EPC code in an RFID tag.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The data processing method according to claim 3, wherein the first server is an object directory server.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The data processing method according to claim 5, wherein the first server is an object directory server in which addresses of content servers corresponding to respective object ID are mapped.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The data processing method according to claim 5, wherein the first server is an object directory server in which addresses of content servers corresponding to respective EPC codes are mapped.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The data processing method according to claim 3, wherein the second server is a content server.

### Claim 10

A mobile communication terminal comprising:
an RFID reader for recognizing tag data; and
a filtering module for filtering the recognized tag data,
wherein the filtering module makes a determination whether the recognized tag data is to be forwarded to a remote object directory server (ODS), and sets criteria for filtering as the recognized tag data requires additional information about an object associated with the tag data, and
wherein the recognized tag data is transferred to the remote ODS, in response to a first result obtained from the filtering.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The mobile communication terminal according to claim 10, wherein the filter is configured in advance by a user to determine types of tag data that are to be transferred to the remote ODS.

### Claim 12

A mobile terminal comprising:
an RFID reader for recognizing tag data;
a filtering module for filtering the recognized tag data; and
a connection data server module for connecting to a first server according to the results of the filtering operation to obtain connection data associated with a second server,
wherein the filtering module makes a determination whether the recognized tag data is to be forwarded to the first server, and sets criteria for filtering when the recognized tag data indicates that additional information about an object associated with the tag data is needed, and
wherein the recognized tag data is transferred to the first server, in response to a first result obtained from the filtering.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The mobile terminal according to claim 12, wherein the connection data comprises address data for receiving contents using an object ID or an EPC code in an RFID tag.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The mobile terminal according to claim 13, wherein the first server is an object directory server in which addresses of content servers corresponding to respective object ID are mapped.
