RFID system for gesture recognition, information coding, and processing
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a wearable glove having a palm portion and a plurality of finger portions;
an RFID sensor reader, coupled to the wearable glove, having a detection region;
plurality of RFID sensors, wherein each RFID sensor is coupled to the wearable glove near the tip of each finger portion and each tag is moveable between a position outside the detection region and a position inside the detection region;
a controller, coupled to the wearable glove and connected to the RFID sensor reader, wirelessly connected to each RFID sensor via the RFID sensor reader; and
a transceiver, coupled to the wearable glove, connected to the controllerwherein the controller is configured to determine a hand gesture by a user of the wearable glove for communication by the transceiver based on a particular pattern of whether each of the respective RFID sensors is located within the detection region and to transmit a signal corresponding to the determined hand gesture.

Abstract
A system includes a controller and an RFID sensor, an RFID sensor reader having a detection region, and a transceiver connected to the controller. The system may be secured to or contained within a wearable glove. The RFID sensor is configured to transmit an RFID sensor signal to the RFID sensor reader when the RFID sensor is within the detection region. The RFID sensor reader is configured to transmit an RFID sensor reader signal to the controller after receiving the RFID sensor signal. The controller is configured to transmit a signal to the transceiver after receiving the RFID sensor reader signal. The signal may include input from a motion sensor and/or an orientation sensor connected to the controller. The transceiver may transmit the signal to a remote processor via an antenna. The signal may be used for gesture recognition, information coding, and/or information processing.
