Abstract: A system for identifying different types of products on a display hanger and determining a quantity of each of the different types of products includes a plurality of electrically conductive segments coupled to the display hanger, an electrically conductive rail coupled to the display hanger, and a sensor device electrically coupled to each of the plurality of electrically conductive segments and to the electrically conductive rail. The sensor device is configured to identify the different types of products on the display hanger and to determine the quantity of each of the different types of products based on a unique electrical signature associated with each of the different types of products.

Abstract: A radio device such as a wireless tag reader communicates with multiple types of wireless identification tags in a monitored region. The radio device includes a network interface to receive messages transmitted over a network. In response to receiving a message indicating to reconfigure the radio device to support an additional wireless tag protocol, the radio is reconfigured to support communications with a corresponding new type of wireless identification tag in a monitored region. Based on this technique of reconfiguring the radio device via network messages, the radio device optionally supports additional, new or latest versions of wireless tag protocols without having to physically reprogram or replace the radio device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for a modular, configurable radio frequency identification (RFID) system receiving RFID communications and packaged in a casing for incorporation into a host object. The RFID system may interact with other systems based on the received RFID communications, and may include an antenna. An RFID receiver may receive RFID communications from an RFID tag via the antenna. A memory element may store a configuration for the system, which may be specific to a context of the host object and specify interactions with a second system in response to the received RFID communications. A processor may retrieve from the memory element the configuration responsive to receiving the RFID communications. A transmitter may transmit, via a second communications protocol, a request to the second system based on the interactions specified by the retrieved configuration.
