Identification system
First Claim
1. An identification system for recognizing at least one item signal emitting device operating at a first frequency and in operational communication with at least one item, the system comprising:
- at least one support member, including;
(i) at least one support surface configured to support the at least one item thereon; and
(ii) at least one support member signal emitting device operating at a second, different frequency and in operational communication with the at least one support member; and
a local signal recognition system, including;
(i) a signal receiving device in communication with the at least one support member and configured to receive signals emitted from the at least one item signal emitting device, the at least one support member signal emitting device or any combination thereof; and
(ii) a control device for receiving, processing and transmitting signals.

Abstract
An identification system for recognizing at least one item signal emitting device operating at a first frequency and in operable communication with at least one item. The system includes at least one support member having a support surface for supporting the items thereon and a support member signal emitting device operating a second, different frequency in communication with the support member. The system includes a local signal recognition system with a signal receiving device in communication with the support member for receiving signals therefrom and a control device for receiving, processing and transmitting signals. A transferable local signal recognition system, as well as a networked identification system are also disclosed.
