Abstract:An airport baggage recording system is provided. The system (100) has a telescopic robotic arm (101) that loads airport baggage. The robotic arm (101) has one end connected to an upright (102) by a pivot (104) and a second end connected to a disc (103). A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader (105) is located in the disc (103) that reads RFID tags on the airport baggage when the airport baggage is placed on the disc (103) during loading. Another RFID reader (105) is located on the pivot (104) that reads the RFID tags on the airport baggage when the airport baggage is placed on the disc (103) during loading. The RFID reader (105) in the disc (103) and the RFID reader (105) on the pivot (104) both read the RFID tags on the airport baggage to prevent errors in reading the RFID tags on the airport baggage during loading.

Abstract:Method and apparatus for detecting bulk quantity of RFID tags in a presentation area such as point-of-sale device. Bulk quantity of RFID tags may be detected according to input to the point-of-sale device including through input from symbolic barcode scanner, conveyor belt, weight scale, and/or via RF antenna driven at a first power level. After the bulk quantity of RFID tags is detected, RF antenna is driven at a second, higher power level temporarily to increase bulk RFID tag detection accuracy. 'Fringe' tags may be detected by the RF antenna when it is driven at the higher power level that are in the environment but not presented at the point-of-sale device. Fringe tags may be filtered based on RF characterization of the presentation area including driving the RF antenna outside of presentation sessions and/or filtering RFID tags detected across multiple presentation sessions.

Abstract: A method of interrogating a plurality of RFID tags comprises interrogating a first RFID tag with a read command comprising a masking value for a predefined portion of a User Memory Bank of the first RFID tag. The predefined portion stores state information for the first RFID tag. The masking value corresponds to a non-quiesced state relative to the read command interrogation. The method further comprises receiving a response from the first RFID tag that indicates that the first RFID tag is in the non-quiesced state. The method further comprises interrogating the first RFID tag with a write command that instructs the first RFID tag to write a predefined value to the predefined portion of the User Memory Bank, wherein writing the predefined value to the predefined portion places the first RFID tag in a quiesced state relative to a subsequent read command interrogation comprising the masking value.

Abstract:A system and method for tracking an article is described. The article may be baggage passing through an airport terminal or another venue. The system comprises a beacon associated with a baggage article, a plurality of relaying bridges, and a tracking service. Short-range radio signals including a beacon identifier and a beacon transmission power are emitted by the beacon associated with a baggage article and detected by a plurality of relaying bridges. The relaying bridges calculate a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), convert the short-range radio signal to a relay signal and transmit the relay signal including a unique relaying bridge identifier and RSSI information via a network. The tracking service receives data from the relay signal, attaches a time stamp to the received data, stores the time-stamped data, and determines from the stored data the time when the article arrives at a point of interest.
