Abstract
There is provided a system including a plurality of radio frequency (RF) tags, each corresponding to one of a plurality of individuals, a memory, and a processor configured to receive a signal from a first RF tag of the plurality of RF tags, the signal including a first tag identification (ID) uniquely identifying the first RF tag, follow a motion of the first RF tag, follow a motion of a first individual of the plurality of individuals, and determine a first likelihood that the first RF tag corresponds to the first individual based on the motion of the first RF tag and the motion of the first individual.
Claims20
A system for use with a plurality of radio frequency (RF) tags each being carried by one of a plurality of individuals, the system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing an executable code;
- a hardware processor executing the executable code to:
- receive a signal via a wireless communication channel from a first RF tag of the plurality of RF tags, the signal including a first tag identification (ID) uniquely identifying the first RF tag;
- follow a motion of the first RF tag using the signal;
- follow a motion of a first individual of the plurality of individuals;
- determine a first likelihood that the first RF tag is being carried by the first individual based on the motion of the first RF tag and the motion of the first individual;
- measure, using the signal received from the first RF tag via the wireless communication channel, one or more communication channel parameters associated with the wireless communication channel;
- and
- determine a second likelihood that the first RF tag corresponds to the first individual based on the one or more communication channel parameters and the motion of the first individual.
A method for use with a system including a non-transitory memory and a hardware processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, using the hardware processor, a signal via a wireless communication channel from a first RF tag of the plurality of RF tags each being carried by one of a plurality of individuals, the signal including a first tag identification (ID) uniquely identifying the first RF tag;
- following, using the hardware processor, a motion of the first RF tag using the signal;
- following, using the hardware processor, a motion of a first individual of the plurality of individuals;
- determining, using the hardware processor, a first likelihood that the first RF tag is being carried by the first individual based on the motion of the first RF tag and the motion of the first individual;
- measuring, using the hardware processor and the signal received from the first RF tag via the wireless communication channel, one or more communication channel parameters associated with the wireless communication channel;
- and
- determining, using the hardware processor, a second likelihood that the first RF tag corresponds to the first individual based on the one or more communication channel parameters and the motion of the first individual.
