Abstract:
In some examples, an autonomous mobile reading device is provided. The autonomous mobile reading device may include an autonomous movement device and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader. The RFID reader may be configured to read, via one or more antennas, RFID tags associated with inventory items. The one or more antennas may be included as part of the autonomous mobile reading device, within an inventory holder, or in some other structure or device.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for determining a user's proximity to a reference location or a user's orientation in relation to an output device associated with the reference location and modifying one or more attributes of information presented to the user based on the detected proximity or orientation. The attributes that may be modified include, among other things, a size of visual information presented to the user, an intensity of audible or haptic information presented to the user, an orientation of the output device, and so forth. In addition, at least a portion of information initially presented to a user via a first output device may instead be presented to the user via a second output device based on the user's proximity to one or more reference locations, the user's orientation in relation to the first and second output devices, or attribute(s) of the user.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various implementations for updating information displayed in a user interface containing structured data fields. Information changing relative to a previous user interface is emphasized. Information remaining unchanged relative to the previous user interface can be deemphasized.

Abstract:
Where an RFID reader receives multiple RFID signals at the same time, or at nearly the same time, from multiple RFID tags, a transaction may be defined. Information regarding the transaction may be stored in at least one data store. The multiple RFID tags may be associated with one or more objects, humans, machines or structures, and the information regarding the transaction may include times or dates at which the RFID signals were received, or the identities of the objects, humans, machines or structures with which the RFID tags were associated. At least one of the RFID signals may be received from a manually activated RFID tag, which may transmit the RFID signal within the presence of an RFID reader only upon contact.
