Abstract: The invention is directed toward systems and methods facilitating access to manufacturer verified nutritional information of food items and incentives, for example, coupons, discount codes, and the like, using a mobile device, for example, a smartphone, and the like. Scans of food item barcodes or RFID tags facilitate retrieval of information associated with said barcodes or RFID tags via the GS1 system of standards for managing goods.

Abstract: A method for preventing fraudulent use of electronic coupons, discount certificates, and similar opportunities in mobile electronic commerce. Once a user has received an opportunity via the user's mobile device, the coupon, certificate, etc. may be redeemed. Redemption mechanisms may include a bar code which appears on the screen of the mobile device which is simply scanned at the point-of-sale or an alphanumeric code may be sent which the clerk types into her register. Thereafter, the user hands his device to the cashier, retailer, etc. whereupon the cashier undertakes the necessary actions to complete the process, for example, by selecting a “redeem” option appearing on the screen and entering a code.

Abstract: A forklift RFID system on a double wide forklift for a stack of plastic pallets comprising: a double wide forklift comprising a body, a mast mounted to the body and at least two fork assemblies including forks moveably mounted on the mast. A RFID reader having a low power which does not read RFID tags outside of five feet is secured in a fixed position on the forklift body outside the forks of the forklift when the forks are in a closed position. A user interface assembly including a touch-panel display, with the reader being hardwired to the touch-panel display is mounted on the forklift body and software is utilized to provide information to the touch-panel display describing which RFID tags have been interrogated by the reader.

Abstract: A method for automating commerce, including the work of selling, shopping for, and/or selling goods and services; by facilitating communications between any combination of buyers and sellers to facilitate opportunities for commercial activities. The method also includes facilitating opportunities for related activities, for example, charitable activities, in a manner that maximizes efficiencies including reducing intermediaries between consumers and manufacturers.

Abstract: A forklift RFID system on a forklift for reading individual plastic pallets having identical RFID tags in each corner in a stack of pallets. The forklift has a body, a mast mounted to the body and a fork assembly including forks moveably mounted on the mast. A RFID antenna assembly is secured in a fixed position on each side of the forklift above the wheel wells of the forklift and a RFID reader is positioned on the fork and hard wired to the RFID antenna assembly. The antenna assembly has a patch antenna mounted in a cylindrical body which has a bracket secured thereto. The distal end of the bracket has a magnet secured thereto which is mounted on the forklift body.

Abstract: A forklift RFID system on a forklift for a stack of pallets comprising: a forklift comprising a body, a mast mounted to the body and a fork assembly including forks moveably mounted on the mast. A RFID antenna is secured in a fixed position on the fork assembly above the forks of the forklift and a RFID reader is positioned on the fork assembly a fixed vertical distance above the RFID antenna.

Abstract: An RFID network design system comprising a website hosted on a host computer which generates and displays icons specifically directed to various RFID components of a RFID network on a computer screen display. The icons are able to be picked and dropped on a drawing screen by a remote user on a remote computer operated by the user and connected to the host computer website. The host computer is provided with software which only allows selected RFID components to be connected together to form a RFID network when the RFID components are compatible with each other with the connected components forming a workable RFID network displayed on a display screen.

Abstract: A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, for use in a commercial data processing environment using at least one RFID/EPC readers and antennae for data collection. The computer program is able to read and collect tag data as it is read, create business documents for the user from a set of business rules and pre-built business document templates in electronic storage, convert both the business document and the tag data into separate database structures and join the two database structures into a single database structure. The single database structure in converted back into the required business document format.
