METHOD AND APPARATUS PERTAINING TO PRECONFIGURING IN FACILITATING THE READING OF RFID TAGS

摘要

Some embodiments provide methods to facilitate reading a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, comprising: receiving, within a RFID tag reader, identification information corresponding to one or more RFID tags of interest; interrogating a plurality of RFID tags while the RFID tag reader is not in communication with a remote processor; receiving multiple corresponding RFID tag responses from the RFID tags; evaluating at the RFID tag reader each of the multiple RFID tag responses relative to the identification information; identifying, as a function of the evaluating, a plurality of RFID tags of interest; and producing, at the RFID tag reader, end user-perceivable indications corresponding to at least one RFID tag response from each of the RFID tags of interest to thereby inform an end user with respect to a corresponding reading state as regards to the plurality of RFID tags.
