Abstract
Description
TABLE 1 | |
Scan | A single request for a list of inventory identifiers |
(“Inventory IDs”) (i.e., identifying codes | |
stored in the tags) with no duplicates. The scan | |
continues until: | |
(a) a specified time limit has been reached, | |
(b) a specified rate of IDs per second is exceeded, | |
or | |
(c) a specified limit of interval time between | |
tag reads has been reached. | |
There are two modes of execution, | |
1. cloaked, and | |
2. uncloaked. | |
Run | A series of one or more Scans continued either until |
(a) a specified number of Scans has been reached, | |
(b) a specified time limit has been reached, | |
(c) a specified integrity level has been reached, | |
or | |
(d) an event (such as an RF power failure) has | |
occurred which terminates a scan, | |
Each of (a)-(d) is a mode of execution, and one | |
or more modes can be requested. A run is | |
terminated on the first occurrence of a | |
mode. Each Scan is separated by a specified | |
time interval. | |
Inventory ID | A 6-byte, binary hexadecimal string, unique |
to 244 values. The Inventory CD | |
identifies a tagged product in a micro-warehouse. | |
Integrity Level | A percentage expressed as “0.90.” |
Inventory List | A single list of all Inventory IDs present in |
a micro-warehouse | |
ReadTime | The amount of time elapsed from the start of |
a Scan to the last tag being read. This time | |
may also be a set and includes the time | |
elapsed to the reading of each of any number | |
of tags. | |
ReadTemp | The temperature of any one tag as reported by |
the tag during a Scan (assumes that system is | |
implemented using tags that are capable of | |
reporting their temperature). | |
ScanTime | Time limit for one Scan |
ScanInterval | Time between tag ReadTimes in one Scan |
NumScans | Number of Scans to perform in a Run |
ScanWaitTime | Time to wait between Scans for de-cloaking |
ReadRate | Rate of tags read per second during one Scan |

Classes of Runs
-
- A run in cloaked mode to establish the starting inventory list. If IntegrityLevel is not specified, the actual read integrity level is returned, that is, the number of times the majority scan list occurs. Creates the first master inventory list, consisting of the superset of all inventory IDs read throughout the baseline scans. The read integrity is returned even when an input integrity level has been set.
-
- A run or runs in uncloaked (or cloaked) mode to determine changes to the inventory list. Uses the superset of all inventory run scans as the new list of inventory. Uses master inventory list (from baseline and/or background) or most recent temporary master inventory list, whichever is more recent, and returns change in inventory between master inventory list and new inventory list, as plus delta inventory and minus delta inventory. Creates new temporary master inventory list.
-
- A continuous series of scans in cloaked mode until a termination event occurs. Uses a superset of all scans as the inventory list. Creates new master inventory list.
-
- No scans. Returns most recent master inventory list.
