Abstract
A group of technologies related to RFID reader and tag are described, including: redundant networked multimedia RFID reader, auto-ranging RFID reader, auto-planning RFID reader, smart active antenna RFID reader and novel RFID tags. These enabling technologies bring RFID reader operations into a new level of automation, capability and ease of implementation.
Claims21
An RFID reader adapted to receive data from at least one RFID tag, and adapted to receive and/or transmit video/image and/or audio data, including means for accessing data of at least one pre-recorded video/image file, means for receiving video/image data from a digital camera, and means for comparing said data of said at least one pre-recorded video/image file with said video/image data received from said digital camera.
A method of operating an RFID system including at least an RFID reader adapted to receive data from at least one RFID tag, and adapted to receive and/or transmit video/image and/or audio data, including steps:
- (a) detecting data of at least one RFID tag;
- (b) capturing video/image and/or audio data of an object carrying said at least one RFID tag;
- (c) sending said data of said at least one RFID tag to a database;
- (d) obtaining from said database pres-stored video/image and/or audio data of said object associated with said at least one RFID tag;
- and
- (e) comparing video/image and/or audio data of said object captured in said step (b) with said data obtained from said database in said step (d).
