SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN IMPROVED TAG COUNTING PROCESS
First Claim
1. A method for operating a tag reader, comprising:
- performing tag read operations by the tag reader to read tags;
processing first information received from the read tags to identify which tags are newly detected tags;
adding entries for the newly detected tags in a local list stored in a local memory of the tag reader;
communicating second information at least identifying the newly detected tags from the tag reader to a remote computing device;
receiving, by the tag reader, feedback information generated by the remote computing device which specifies at least a count of entries added to a remote list stored in a remote datastore based on the second information; and
selectively outputting a notification from the tag reader based on the value of the count.

Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a tag reader. The methods comprise: performing tag read operations by the tag reader to read tags; processing first information received from the read tags to identify which tags are newly detected tags; adding entries for the newly detected tags in a local list stored in a local memory of the tag reader; communicating second information at least identifying the newly detected tags from the tag reader to a remote computing device; receiving, by the tag reader, feedback information generated by the remote computing device which specifies at least a count of entries added to a remote list stored in a remote datastore based on the second information; and selectively outputting a notification from the tag reader based on the value of the count.

11. A tag reader, comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for inventory management, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to; process first information received from tags read by the tag reader to identify which tags are newly detected tags; add entries for the newly detected tags in a local list stored at the tag reader; cause second information at least identifying the newly detected tags to be communicated from the tag reader to a remote computing device; receive feedback information generated by the remote computing device which specifies at least a count of entries added to a remote list stored in a remote datastore based on the second information; and cause a notification to be selectively output from the tag reader based on the value of the count. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
