ADJUSTING DATA TAG READERS WITH FEED-FORWARD DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for reading a data tag on an article as the article is moving relative to a data tag reader, said system comprising:
- a data tag reader having a configurable parameter for improved reading of a data tag, said data tag reader being adapted to read a data tag mounted on the moving article; and
a controller for controlling the configurable parameter, said controller being further adapted to adjust the configurable parameter of the data tag reader as a function of a value to increase reception of a signal emitted by the data tag, wherein the value relates to at least one of the data tag, data tag reader, and article configuration.

Abstract
Adjusting a configurable parameter of a data tag reader responsive to data about a moving article to improve reading of a data tag on the article. A controller adjusts the data tag reader as a function of a value related to the data tag, data tag reader, or article. Adjusting the data tag reader provides improved reading of the data tag on the moving article.

15. A method for adjusting a parameter of a data tag reader to improve readability of a data tag by the data tag reader, said method comprising:
-
determining descriptive data associated with the data tag; and
adjusting a configurable parameter of the data tag reader responsive to the determined descriptive data to improve reading by the data tag reader of the data tag on the moving article. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable components for improving the readability of a data tag on an article moving relative to a data tag reader, said components comprising:
-
a sensor module for determining a characteristic of the article;
a configuration module for generating a value for a parameter of the data tag reader as a function of the characteristic determined by the sensor module; and
a controller module for adjusting the configurable parameter of the data tag reader as a function of the value generated by the configuration module to improve reading by the data tag reader of the data tag on the moving article. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
