1. A computer-implemented method of tracking an object tagged with a radio frequency identification tag (RFID), comprising:
- receiving, by a first hardware processor, a first video of the object and first metadata read from the RFID tag;
storing, to a first storage device, the first metadata in association with the first video; and
writing, responsive to the receiving the first video and the first metadata and by the first hardware processor, second metadata to the RFID tag that overwrites the first metadata, whereinthe second metadata specifies a time the first hardware processor received the first video of the object and a location of the first hardware processor, andthe first metadata specifies a time a prior processor received a prior video of the object and a location of the prior processor.

Abstract
Tracking a tagged object may include receiving, using a first processor, a first video of an object tagged with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and first metadata read from the RFID tag. The first metadata may be stored in association with the first video using the first processor. First updated metadata may be written to the RFID tag using the first processor. The first updated metadata may specify at least one of a time the first video is received or a location of the first processor.

6. A computer hardware system configured to track an object tagged with a radio frequency identification tag (RFID), comprising
a first hardware processor programmed to initiate the following executable operations: -
receiving, by the first hardware processor, a first video of the object and first metadata read from the RFID tag; storing, to a first storage device, the first metadata in association with the first video; and writing, responsive to the receiving the first video and the first metadata and by the first hardware processor, second metadata to the RFID tag that overwrites the first metadata, wherein the second metadata specifies a time the first hardware processor received the first video of the object and a location of the first hardware processor, and the first metadata specifies a time a prior processor received a prior video of the object and a location of the prior processor. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer program product, comprising
a hardware storage device having a computer readable storage medium that stores a program code for tracking an object tagged with a radio frequency identification tag (RFID), the program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform: -
receiving, by a first hardware processor, a first video of the object and first metadata read from the RFID tag; storing, to a first storage device, the first metadata in association with the first video; and writing, responsive to the receiving the first video and the first metadata and by the first hardware processor, second metadata to the RFID tag that overwrites the first metadata, wherein the second metadata specifies a time the first hardware processor received the first video of the object and a location of the first hardware processor, and the first metadata specifies a time a prior processor received a prior video of the object and a location of the prior processor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
