摘要： A system and method that facilitates the configuration and control of components of a radio frequency identification (RFID) system, taking into account how the RFID system components are associated with one or more physical locations within an environment in which the RFID system is deployed. The RFID system can be controlled by obtaining a representation of the physical space. Next, at least one region of interest is specified in the representation of the physical space. An interrogation zone is then specified in the representation of the physical space, in which the interrogation zone corresponds to the data reader. Next, at least one overlap region of the interrogation zone and the region of interest is specified. Information is then stored, including the representation, and the interest region, the interrogation zone, and/or the overlap region. Operation of the data reader is controlled as a function of the stored information.

摘要： A system and method that facilitates the configuration and control of components of an RFID system, taking into account how the RFID system components are associated with one or more physical locations within an environment in which the RFID system is deployed. A user provides information specifying associations between the system components and the physical locations within the environment to obtain visual representations of configuration data generated therefrom with reference to a facility view, an RF coverage view, and a location view of the data. The facility view serves as a reference plane for placement and orientation of antennas associated with RFID readers, location benchmark tags, and the physical locations of interest. After each antenna is placed and oriented on the facility view, an estimate of the size and shape of the RF interrogation zone of each antenna is computed, and representations of the RF interrogation zones are provided on the facility view to obtain the RF coverage view of the data. Next, the user provides information specifying the physical locations of interest to obtain the location view of the data. A composite of the facility view, the coverage view, and the location view is then generated to obtain an enhanced visual understanding of how the system components and the physical locations exist within the system environment, and how the components and locations are associated with one another.

The architecture further includes at least one host computer operative to execute at least one client application, and at least one controller/processor communicably coupled to the plurality of readers and the at least one host computer. The controller/processor is operative to control operation of the plurality of readers, to process the tag data received by the plurality of readers, and to provide the processed tag data to the at least one host computer for use by the at least one client application executing thereon.
