Automatic self-learning RFID reader configurator

摘要

According to an embodiment, a computer-implemented method of managing inventory performed by a processor includes receiving in a digital or analog format, from a first computing device, a first request for first radio frequency identification (RFID) tag data associated with a first plurality of RFID tags and receiving in a digital or analog format, from a second computing device, a second request for second RFID tag data associated with a second plurality of RFID tags. In response to the first request and the second request, the method further includes automatically selecting a selected one of a first interrogation mode and a second interrogation mode based on the first request and the second request, and automatically transmitting configuration information to an RFID reader to operate in the selected interrogation mode.

1. A computer-implemented method of managing inventory, comprising:
receiving at a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configurator in a digital or analog format, from a first computing device, a first request for first RFID tag data associated with a first plurality of RFID tags; receiving at the RFID reader configurator in a digital or analog format, from a second computing device, a second request for second RFID tag data associated with a second plurality of RFID tags; in response to receiving the first request and the second request, automatically selecting, by a programmable processor of the RFID reader configurator, a selected one of a first interrogation mode and a second interrogation mode for each of a plurality of RFID readers based on the first request and the second request; and automatically transmitting configuration information from the RFID reader configurator to the each of the plurality of RFID readers to operate in the selected one of the first interrogation mode and the second interrogation mode to concurrently acquire at least a portion of the first RFID tag data associated with the first plurality of RFID tags and at least a portion of the second RFID tag data associated with the second plurality of RFID tags.
