Method and apparatus for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single container in the presence of a plurality of containers
First Claim
1. A method for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single container in the presence of a plurality of containers comprising the steps of:
- a) monitoring REID object traffic transactions to a single container amongst a plurality of containers wherein said traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by said at least one RFID reader, b) calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of said RFID tags, c) comparing said data set for said each detected RFID tag with said data set for other of said detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of said detected REID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding said data set so as to resolve multiple detections and identifications of said detected RFID tags in said object traffic transactions to said single container.

Abstract
A method for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single container in the presence of a plurality of containers, where the method includes the steps of: monitoring RFID object traffic transactions to a single container amongst a plurality of containers wherein the traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by the at least one RFID reader; calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of the RFID tags; and, comparing the data set for each detected RFID tag with the data set for other of the detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of the detected RFID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding data set so as to resolve multiple detections and identifications of the detected RFID tags in the object traffic transactions to the single container.

11. A system for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single container in the presence of a plurality of containers comprising:
-
a) at least one RFID reader and a plurality of RFID tags detectable by said at least one RFID reader, b) means for monitoring RFID object traffic transactions to a single container amongst a plurality of containers wherein said traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by said at least one RFID reader, c) processor means for calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of said RFID tags, d) processor means for comparing said data set for said each detected RFID tag with said data set for other of said detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of said detected RFID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding said data set so as to resolve multiple detections and identifications of said detected RFID tags in said object traffic transactions to said single container. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
