SELF-OPTIMIZING METHOD/SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENTLY DEPLOYING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) TAG READERS IN A CONTROLLED AREA

Title:

SELF-OPTIMIZING METHOD/SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENTLY DEPLOYING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) TAG READERS IN A CONTROLLED AREA

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/092988

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag readers are integrated with individual RFID tags to form integrated RFID units that are initially deployed to cover a controlled area with radio frequency (RF) coverage. A controller determines whether the RF coverage optimally covers the controlled area by controlling at least one of the integrated RFID units in the initial deployment to read the RFID tag integrated with at least another of the integrated RFID units. An interface reports when the RF coverage does not optimally cover the controlled area, and responsively guides a redeployment of at least one of initially deployed integrated RFID units to a subsequent deployment in which the RF coverage provided by the integrated RFID units optimally covers the controlled area.
