Tracking transactions by confluences and sequences of RFID signals

摘要

An RFID device may include one or more manually activated RFID tags configured to transmit unique RFID signals in response to a manual activation thereof. A transaction may be defined upon receiving a confluence of multiple RFID signals at the same time, or at nearly the same time, at an RFID reader. A transaction may also be defined upon receiving multiple RFID signals or confluences of such signals in a predetermined series or sequence. The RFID devices may include a single manually activated RFID tag, or two or more of such tags, which may be individually activated by one or more manual interactions from a user.

主权项

1. An information recording system comprising:
an RFID reader; a first RFID device associated with at least one aspect of a storage facility, wherein the first RFID device comprises at least a first manually activated RFID tag and a second manually activated RFID tag; and a computing device in communication with the RFID reader, wherein the computing device is configured to at least:
identify a first object;receive, at the RFID reader, a first RFID signal from the first RFID device at a first time, wherein the first RFID signal is transmitted by the first RFID device following contact with a first portion of the first RFID device associated with the first manually activated RFID tag at the first time;receive, at the RFID reader, a second RFID signal from the first RFID device within a predetermined interval of the first time, wherein the second RFID signal is transmitted by the first RFID device following contact with a second portion of the first RFID device associated with the second manually activated RFID tag within the predetermined interval of the first time;define a transaction based at least in part on first information regarding the first RFID signal and at least one of the first object, the storage facility, the RFID reader or the first time; andstore at least some of the first information in at least one data store.
