Abstract
An apparatus for managing a plurality of RFID readers includes a service policy managing unit that defines demands in the form of service policies to be understood by the plurality of RFID readers, a data processing rule managing unit that generates a data processing rule on the basis of the service policies, a collected data processing unit that receives a plurality of RFID tag data from the plurality of RFID readers, and generates integrated RFID events by applying the data processing rule to the plurality of RFID tag data, and a service report processing unit that provides results corresponding to the integrated RFID events.
Claims8
An apparatus for managing a plurality of RFID readers having different frequency bandwidths, the apparatus comprising:
- a service policy managing unit that defines demands which are desired by a user or an application service as service policies to be understood by the plurality of RFID readers, the service polices including conditions and actions corresponding to the conditions;
- a data processing rule managing unit that generates a data processing rule and a relation analyzing rule on the basis of the service policies;
- a collected data processing unit that receives a plurality of RFID tag data from the plurality of RFID readers, integrates a first portion of the plurality of RFID tag data in accordance with the data processing rule to generate a first integrated RFID event, and integrates a second portion of the plurality of RFID tag data in accordance with the data processing rule to generate a second integrated RFID event;
- a service information generator that analyzes a correlation between the first integrated RFID event and the second integrated RFID event in accordance with the relation analyzing rule to generate service information;
- and
- a service report processing unit that provides a service report based on the service information generated from the service information generator.
A method performed via an apparatus to manage a plurality of RFID readers having different frequency bandwidths, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of RFID tag data from the plurality of RFID readers;
- defining demands, which are desired by a user or an application service, as service policies to be understood by the plurality of RFID readers, the service polices including conditions and actions corresponding to the conditions;
- generating a data processing rule, which is used to process the plurality of RFID tag data, and a relation analyzing rule on the basis of the service policies;
- integrating a first portion of the plurality of RFID tag data in accordance with the data processing rule to generate a first integrated RFID event;
- integrating a second portion of the plurality of RFID tag data in accordance with the data processing rule to generate a second integrated RFID event;
- and
- analyzing a correlation between the first integrated RFID event and the second integrated RFID event in accordance with the relation analyzing rule to generate service information to be provided to the user or the application service.
A method performed via an apparatus to manage a plurality of RFID readers having different frequency bandwidths, the method comprising:
- storing demands which are desired by a user or an application service as service policies that comprise conditions and actions corresponding to the conditions;
- receiving a plurality of RFID tag data from the plurality of RFID readers by applying a first rule that is generated in accordance with the conditions and actions of the service policies;
- converting a first portion of the plurality of RFID tag data into a first integrated RFID event by applying a second rule that is generated in accordance with the conditions and actions of the service policies;
- converting a second portion of the plurality of RFID tag data into a second integrated RFID event by applying the second rule;
- and
- analyzing a correlation between the first integrated RFID event and the second integrated RFID event in accordance with a third rule that is generated in accordance with the conditions and actions of the service policies, and providing analyzed results based on the analyzing the correlation.
