Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus for provisioning the use of multiple readers and/or wireless communication protocols within a defined area are provided. More specifically, a coordinator or the like can be used to manage the activation and deactivation of the multiple readers and/or communication protocols within a single reader such that interference between disparate technologies is avoided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of controlling multiple radio frequency identification (RFID) communication protocols in a common area, comprising: transmitting a control token from a coordinator to a first RFID reader; in response to receiving the control token, the first RFID reader activating a first communication protocol that comprises; determining, by the first RFID reader, that an RFID device is configured to communicating via the first communication protocol is not withi…
