Utilization of motion and spatial identification in mobile RFID interrogator
First Claim
1. A system for identifying an identification tag for transport with a vehicle, an identification reader to be secured or removably secured to the vehicle and configured to scan for an identification tag within a read zone of the identification reader to provide tag readings;
- a sensor system configured to provide data to at least assist in determining motional data of the vehicle; and
a processor system receiving the motional data from the sensor system and motional data based on the tag readings;
wherein the processor system is configured to compare the motional data from the sensor system with the motional data based on the tag readings to determine whether the identification tag is moving with the vehicle.

Abstract
A system and method of using motion or spatial identification technology with a mobile RFID reader to detect whether an RFID tag is part of a forklift load or other ambulatory space such as a shopping cart receptacle, includes determining whether a tag is within a defined space and/or whether a tag is in motion relative to a mobile RFID reader. The system and method determines whether a particular RFID tag is part of a forklift load/space, has been added to or removed, is an extraneous tag, etc.

10. A system for identifying an identification tag within a movable load space, comprising:
- an identification reader configured;
to scan for an identification tag within a read zone of the identification reader and to determine any motion between the identification reader and the identification tag based on tag readings, wherein the read zone at least partially overlaps with the movable load space, and the movable load space is near the identification reader; and
a processor system configured to compare the motion of the identification tag based on the tag readings with motional data for the movable load space to determine whether the identification tag is within the movable load space. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
- an identification reader configured;
