20120293307 | RFID systems having improved read rates for localization and proximity detection - We describe RFID systems for localization and proximity detection and with improved read rates. The systems include three components, (a) RFID readers, (b) passive and/or semipassive tags, (c) sensor-tags (STs), (d) STs integrated with sensors, and (e) and processing elements. The key new elements are the STs, which are like regular tags that communicate with RFID readers on the principle of backscattering. However, they have an additional functionality of reading the communication of standard tags in their physical proximity and reporting it, if queried, to an RFID reader or a processing element. They can also use other types of communication with the RFID readers and processing elements. These functionalities allow for a variety of new solutions to many RFID problems some of which are described in this document. | 11-22-2012 |
