| 发明名称 | Suppressing alerts for RFID systems | ||
| 摘要 | A value is stored in memory indicating that an alert is to be issued if more than a threshold quantity of an item is moved out of a location. Instructions to employees to remove more than the threshold quantity of the item from the location are also stored in memory. A signal from at least one sensor is received indicating that an item has been moved out of the location. At least one of an identifier for the item and an identifier for the location is used to locate the instructions to remove more than the threshold quantity of the item from the location. In response to locating the instructions, an alert that would otherwise be issued because more than the threshold quantity of the item was removed from the location is suppressed. | ||
