APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DYNAMIC RFID IN A RETAIL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An apparatus, system and method for providing an after-market dynamic RFID reader network in a niche environment. The apparatus, system and method include: a plurality of RF transceivers located around the niche environment so as to saturate the niche environment with radio frequencies capable of ringing RFID tags brought within the niche environment; an on-site controller capable of initially mapping a pattern provided by all of the plurality of RF transceivers in the niche environment; a testing tag suitable to be moved through the mapped pattern, wherein the on-site controller tracks the ringing of the testing tag as it moves through the mapped pattern; and an electronic tuner communicatively associated with the on-site controller, the electronic tuner being capable of tuning for the plurality of RF transceivers such that the RF transceivers indicate to the on-site controller a receipt of the ringing from the testing tag at all predetermined points in the mapped pattern.
