METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESOLVING RFID-BASED OBJECT TRAFFICTRANSACTIONS TO A SINGLE CONTAINER IN THE PRESENCE OF A PLURALITY OF CONTAINERS

摘要

A method for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a sing le container in the presence of a plurality of containers, where the method includes the steps of: monitoring RFID object traffic transactions to a single container amongst a plurality of containers wherein the traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by the at least one RFID reader; calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of the RFID tags; and, comparin g the data set for each detected RFID tag with the data set for other of the detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of the detected RFID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding data set so as to resolve multiple defections and identifications of the detected RFID tags in the object traffic transactions to the single container.
