METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS DETECTION OF MULTIPLE RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAGS

摘要

Devices, systems and processes for the simultaneous detection of multiple radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. RFID tags are individually configured with unique tag identifications (tag IDs) and organized into one or more groups. The tag IDs within each group of RFID tags are mutually orthogonal and configured to simultaneously transmit their respective tag IDs in response to receiving one or more queries associated with the group. Mutual orthogonality allows an RFID reader receiving the simultaneous transmission by all of the tags within a group to discern respective tag IDs within the group.
