Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and devices for consumers using RFID-tagged items for multichannel shopping using smartphones, tablets, and indoor navigation, preservation of consumer's privacy related to RFID-tagged items that they leave a retail store with, and automatically reading and locating retail inventory without directly using store labor. Robots and aerial mobile automated RFID reading devices are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile aerial RFID scanning platform and teaches how to overcome fundamental challenges related to the scanning of items that are tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Improved RFID antennae, localization, robotic navigation, and robotic RFID scanning are taught by the present invention as an improvement over prior art.

Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention comprises a smartphone and encoders for commissioning RFID transponders. The present invention further includes novel systems, devices, and methods for commissioning RFID transponders with unique object class instance numbers without requiring a realtime connection to a serialization database.

Abstract: The present invention provides value to brand owners, retailers, and consumers through the use of radio frequency identification, stenography, nanolithography, fingerprints, novel heuristic threat evaluation, indication, and detection model. Additionally, using cryptography, tag passwords are formulated and identities are reversibly flipped, thus allowing item identities to remain secret to unauthorized observers. This unique combination of heuristics and authentication technologies provides an efficient means of finding and stopping the flow of counterfeit products throughout global supply chains. The present invention includes radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, encoders, servers, identity changers, and authenticity verifiers to make this task a viable and adaptive weapon against the elusive counterfeiters. The present end-to-end RFID system offers unprecedented security for retailers and consumers, while remaining efficient and scalable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and devices for using RFID-tagged items for omnichannel shopping and automatically reading and locating those items. Robots for automated RFID reading are disclosed. The present invention discloses Webrooming 2.0 (WR2.0) which will offer shoppers new views and tools. WR2.0 offers shoppers a bird's eye view of equivalent items in local retail stores. WR2.0 tools empower shoppers with preemptive purchasing power: the ability to redirect their online purchases from any online web store to a local retail store.

Abstract: The present invention includes novel systems and devices for commissioning wireless tags, RFID tags, and wireless sensors. The present invention benefits wireless sensors that are not directly part of a demand printed label. In one embodiment RFID tags or inlays are pre-loaded into cartridges prior to consumption and an encoder mechanism and corresponding antenna encodes and verifies the programmable RFID tags within the cartridges. This improvement adds significant convenience of loading RFID tags and enhances overall reliability of handling and applying the RFID tags. Accordingly, the present invention includes methods and devices that enable application and distribution of RFID tags in pre-loaded cartridges that are ready-to-use.

Abstract: The present invention provides for efficient use of radio frequency identification (RFID) inlays by eliminating the need for a printable face stock layer. The present invention provides improved and simplified RFID tagging operations to dispense RFID inlays thus eliminating the need for additional steps to convert RFID inlays into RFID tags or labels. Intrinsic consumer warning markings eliminates the need for a secondary printing process to provide required consumer warning text or symbols on a thin clear inlay. The present invention also provides for improved elements and structures for controlling the separation of thin, clear, shiny inlays from a conveyance web.
