METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) DEVICE AND RFID TAGS

摘要

A method and system for facilitating radio frequency (RF) communication between a radio frequency identification (RFID) device (110) and RFID tags (160) is disclosed. The method may include associating one or more RFID tags (160) to one or more containers (720) that comprise a container volume, wherein the RF signal communication between the RFID device and one or more of the RFID tags is at least partially obstructed, and integrating at least one conductive surface (590, 595) into the container volume, wherein if the RFID device is coupled to at least one of the conductive surfaces and energized, the RFID device, the at least one conductive surface and one or more of the RFID tags are capacitively coupled allowing RF signals to be communicated between RFID device and the one or more RFID tags in the container volume without being obstructed.
