RFID READER LOCATION SELF-DISCOVERY

摘要

A system and method of determining the location of a RFID reader is disclosed. The system comprises a first RFID reader, and at least one other RFID reader, and a processor. The RFID readers associate unique RFID tag information with at least one antenna that reads the information. The processor receives RFID data from the first RFID reader and the at least one other RFID reader and determines the location of the first RFID reader relative to the at least one other RFID reader based on the association of unique RFID tag information with at least one antenna of at least two readers.

1. A method of determining a location of an RFID reader comprising:
receiving first RFID data from a first RFID reader comprising a first plurality of antennas, wherein the first RFID data associates tag information with each of the first plurality of antennas that reads the tag information, wherein each RFID tag comprises unique tag information; receiving second RFID data from a second RFID reader having a second plurality of antennas, wherein the second RFID data associates tag information with each of the second plurality of antennas that reads the tag information; and determining a location of the first RFID reader relative to the second RFID reader with a processor based on the associations in the first and the second RFID data.
