System and a Method for Improving the Performance of Rfid Systems
First Claim
1. A system for managing radio frequency identification (RFID) elements communicating with RFID readers, said system comprised of:
- an on-site software component residing on a computing device for centralizing real time communication between RFID readers in a single geographic location, wherein said communication includes collecting and integrating all data gathered by said RFID readers;
An interface module enabling users to communicate directly with the RFID tags through the on-site software component independent of the activation of any specific reader.

Abstract
The present invention is an innovative system and method for managing RFID elements which provides a solution for improving the efficiency, reliability and security of RFID systems. From the stand point of the users, the proposed system provides a unified interface to the raw data, giving them full and continuous access to all tags in a given RFID system. The invention enables operating a RFID system in diverse and less than optimal conditions which would otherwise compromise the integrity of the data. For instance, the proposed solution can achieve high degrees of accuracy in environments where liquid and metal distractions tender tags otherwise unreachable. In addition, the system provides means for successfully accomplishing transference of advance commands such as read, write, lock and suspend to tags which are in noisy and multi tag environments, as well as tags which are in motion or are in remote distances from a reader.
