Abstract
Methods of radiofrequency identification and analysis are disclosed. In one aspect, a method may include transmitting a wireless interrogation signal. Corresponding wireless response signals may be received from each of a plurality of transponders. Then, analysis of interrelationships between different types of objects each associated with one of the transponders may be performed. Software and apparatus to perform such methods are also disclosed. In another aspect, a method of radiofrequency identification may include accessing additional information about one or more objects that are each associated with a different one of the transponders from a peripheral database.
