SYSTEMS AND/OR METHODS OF DATA ACQUISITION FROM A TRANSCEIVER
First Claim
1. A method of acquiring data from an entity, the method comprising:
- responding by the entity to a signal that is received at the entity from a device; and
suppressing a subsequent response by the entity to a subsequent signal that is received at the entity from said device, over a predetermined time interval, in order to avoid a redundant response by the entity;
wherein suppressing a subsequent response by the entity to a subsequent signal that is received at the entity from said device, over a predetermined time interval, comprises reading a data element that is included in the subsequent signal that is received at the entity and determining from said reading that the subsequent signal that is received at the entity, over the predetermined time interval, has been transmitted by said device.

Abstract
Systems and/or Methods are disclosed for acquiring data from a transceiver responsive to one or more signals that are received at the transceiver from one or more devices. In one embodiment, a transceiver is configured to transmit a signal responsive to having received a first signal from a first device, wherein the signal that is transmitted by the transceiver is configured to trigger a second device to transmit a second signal. The transceiver is further configured to transmit data responsive to having received the second signal that is transmitted by the second device. In other embodiments, a transceiver is configured to receive a signal from a first device over frequencies of a predetermined frequency band that the first device is authorized to use, to receive a signal from a second device over frequencies of the predetermined frequency band and to transmit data responsive to having received both the signal from the first device and the signal from the second device. The transceiver is further configured to require that both the signal from the first device and the signal from the second device be received at the transceiver before the data is transmitted. Analogous methods are also disclosed.

3. A transceiver comprising:
-
a system that is configured to respond to a signal that is received at the transceiver from a device and is further configured to suppress a subsequent response to a subsequent signal that is received at the transceiver from said device, over a predetermined time interval, in order to avoid a redundant response; wherein the system is configured to suppress the subsequent response to the subsequent signal that is received at the transceiver from said device, over the predetermined time interval, by reading a data element that is included in the subsequent signal that is received at the transceiver and to determine from said reading that the subsequent signal that is received at the transceiver, over the predetermined time interval, has been transmitted by said device.
