Apparatus for recognizing radio frequency identification (RFID) and method thereof, and data processing method of RFID
First Claim
1. A method for reading a radio frequency identification (RFID) by an RFID reader reading a plurality of RFIDs, the method comprising:
- a) generating a specific query message to the RFIDs;
b) receiving a first response message corresponding to the query message from at least one RFID among the RFIDs, wherein the RFIDs receive the specific query message including round size information from the RFID reader and randomly select a slot number based on the round size information of the specific query message; and
c) sequentially identifying a tag ID of the collided RFID by using a collision solving message when collision is generated according to the result of receiving the first response.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an RFID reader and a method thereof, and an RFID data processing method. The RFID reader generates a specific query message to a plurality of RFIDs, receives a first response message corresponding to the query message from at least one RFID among the RFIDs, and sequentially identifies a tag ID of a collided RFID by using a collision solving message when a collision occurs according to the result of receiving a first response message. The RFID reader can quickly and accurately identify a plurality of RFIDs since it can eliminate an unnecessary time such as excessive no response slot generation or repeated rounds through a sequential identification process for the collided RFIDs.

11. A method for processing data by a radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitting/receiving data with an RFID reader reading a tag ID, the method comprising:
-
a) receiving a query message including round size information from the RFID reader; b) randomly selecting a slot number based on the round size information of the query message; c) generating a first response message including a stored tag ID when the slot number satisfies a specific value; and d) transmitting the first response message to the RFID reader. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader for reading a plurality of RFIDs, comprising:
-
a communicator for transmitting/receiving data to/from the RFID through RF signals; a storage unit for storing predetermined round size information, and storing tag IDs included by the RFIDs and product information matched with the tag IDs; and a controller for controlling the communicator and the storage unit, providing the round size information to the RFIDs, and sequentially identifying the tag IDs of the RFIDs by using a collision solving message when a collision is generated for a specific message received from the RFIDs, wherein the RFIDs randomly select a slot number based on the round size information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method for reading a radio frequency identification (RFID) by an RFID reader reading a plurality of RFIDs, the method comprising:
-
a) requesting a tag ID from the RFID; b) receiving a first response message from the RFID, wherein the RFID receive a specific query message including round size information from the RFID reader and randomly select a slot number based on the round size information of the specific query message; c) generating a collision solving message including the stored discrimination code of 0 to the RFID when a collision is generated according to the received result; d) receiving a second response message corresponding to the collision solving message from the RFID; e) checking whether the MSB of the discrimination code is 1 when a collision is generated according to the result of receiving the second response message; f) adding a bit of 0 to the MSB of the discrimination code and changing it into a first discrimination code when the MSB is not 1 according to the result of checking the MSB; and g) generating a collision solving message including the first discrimination code to the RFID and repeating the steps after d). - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
