ASSETS AND PERSONNEL TRACKING USING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A tracking system for updating a location of a target associated with an RFID device in response to detected motion of the target, the system comprising:
- a server for storing identifying information for at least one RFID device and a location associated with the RFID device; and
a plurality of tracking modules positioned in predetermined locations and in communication with the server, each tracking module comprising at least one motion processing module and an RFID reader,wherein, in response to motion detected by the at least one motion processing module, the RFID reader detects identifying information associated with the RFID device neighboring the RFID reader and transmits the detected identifying information to the server.

Abstract
A system for updating a location of a target with an RFID device in response to detected motion of the target includes a server and tracking modules. The server stores identifying information for RFID devices and locations associated with the devices. The tracking modules are positioned in predetermined locations and communicate with the server. Each tracking module includes a motion processing module and an RFID reader. In response to motion detected by a motion processing module, the RFID reader detects identifying information for an RFID device neighboring an RFID reader and transmits the information to the server.
