  • Method and system for correctly identifying specific RFID tags
    Patent number: 10108824
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying a specific RFID tag includes RFID reader circuitry, such as within an RFID reader, configured for sending and receiving RF signals to detect RFID tags and for obtaining signal parameter information associated with the RFID tags. Processing circuitry is configured for using the signal parameter information for one or more tags of the RFID tags and calculating a tag score for the one or more RFID tags. The processing circuitry is further configured for determining a specific RFID tag using the tag scores for the one or more RFID tags.
    Type: Grant

  • ARM-WORN RFID READER
    Publication number: 20120038515
    Abstract: An RFID reader is configured to be worn on the arm of a user and includes a housing with a bottom surface for facing the arm of a user and a top surface facing away from the arm. A securement structure engages the arm of the user to secure the housing. An antenna is mounted within the housing and is angled with respect to the bottom surface of the housing for providing an RF field at an angle to the arm of a user to direct the RF field toward an item held by the arm. The antenna includes an indexing structure with multiple angular positions for orientation of the antenna. A key structure is positioned in the housing and configured for engaging the indexing structure at an angular position around the antenna to orient the antenna at a desired rotational orientation in the housing to tune the antenna. Grip structures are formed along the top surface of the housing for gripping an item held by a user that contains an RFID tag that is read by the RFID reader.
