Management system for enhanced RFID system performance
First Claim
1. A system for managing radio frequency identification systems comprising:
- one or more radio frequency identification interrogators;
a computation device;
one or more radio frequency identification tags;
and a set of logical instructions for the computation device directing it to monitor the signals generated by one or more interrogators and one or more tags to assess their performance, detect their failures, predict their failures, and send correcting signals to them to maintain operation.

Abstract
A method and system managing radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The system monitors the performance of systems that use RFID tags and readers. It operates at multiple levels to ensure the optimal performance of readers, tags, antennae, and the information processing systems that acquire and convey tag data. The management system may employ artificial intelligence techniques such as genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, neural networks, Bayesian networks, support vector machines or statistical methods to develop, maintain and exploit models of RFID system behavior. By comparing the actual performance of RFIDs and related components, the management system can detect and report failures and partial failures of components. The management system may also send signals to components to enhance performance of the overall RFID system.
