First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for tracking articles or providing information, the systems comprising:
- an RFID reader to read one of a plurality of RFID devices to receive at least one token from among a plurality of tokens, each of the RFID devices physically associated with one or more objects;
a server to receive a request from the RFID reader, the request including the at least one token, and the server configured to send at least one payload to the RFID reader;
a database to store a plurality of datasets and a plurality of payloads including the at least one payload, the database searchable by the server using the received token;
a display device associated with the RFID reader to display the at least one payload.

Abstract
A networked computer system for remote RFID device management and tracking provides a means for quickly deploying and managing RFID based technologies, serving both large and small use cases. The remote management and auditing tools significantly reduce labor force requirements by removing the physical interaction requirement, and permit new possibilities since clients can manage devices from any internet connected locale. The low entry and operational costs permit solutions which provide RFID devices to end users and their devices.

10. A method for tracking articles or providing information, comprising:
-
reading at least one token from at least one RFID device and conveying the at least one token over a network to a server; searching by the server a database using the token to identify a stored dataset associated with the token; and communicating a payload associated with the identified dataset to a device for displaying information in the payload on a display device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for tracking articles or providing information, comprising:
-
creating different credentials for different third parties by a client, the different credentials permitting the different third parties to create different datasets and different tokens for associating with different objects; receiving a request including a token from at least one RFID device over a network; searching a database to locate a dataset and payload associated with the token; and displaying information associated with the payload on a display device at a RFID reader that generated the request. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
