Method and system for the automated management of objects provided with RFID tags
First Claim
1. An automated method for managing objects each provided with a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag comprising at least one item of identification data associated with said object, said method comprising the following steps performed by a computing device:
- a step of reading, using an RFID reader, at least one item of identification data stored in at least one RFID tag arranged on at least one object positioned at a reading site;
a step of deactivation, using the computing device, of at least one RFID tag the item of identification data of which has been read so that it is not detected during a fraud detection step;
a step of calculation, using the computing device, of an item of data relating to all of the tags read by the RFID reader; and
a step of automated payment, using the computing device, according to said item of data relating to all of the tags read by the RFID reader,wherein the deactivation step and the calculation step are carried out after the same single reading step using the at least one item of identification data.

11. A computing device for the automated management of objects each provided with a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag comprising an item of identification data associated with said object, said computing device comprising:
-
a first RFID reader, for reading at least one item of identification data stored in at least one RFID tag arranged on at least one object positioned at a reading site; means arranged for deactivating at least one RFID tag the item of identification data of which has been read; means for determining at least one item of data relating to all of the tags read by the first RFID reader; and automated payment means, wherein the deactivating means and determining means are executed after the same single reading performed by the first RFID reader using the at least one item of identification data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
