Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An encoded information reading terminal can comprise a microprocessor, a memory communicatively coupled to the microprocessor, a communication interface, and an RFID reading device configured to output raw message data comprising an encoded message and/or output decoded message data corresponding to an encoded message. The EIR terminal can be configured, responsive to receiving one or more target item identifiers, to attempt to locate at least one RFID tag transmitting an encoded representation of a binary string, at least part of which is equal to at least part one of the specified one or more target item identifiers. The EIR terminal can be further configured, responsive to successfully locating at least one RFID tag, to notify a user via a visual message and/or an audible message.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An apparatus comprising: a communication interface comprising a graphical user interface that: presents an option to a user to allow the user to select an identifier of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that is associated with an item, the RFID tag transmitting an encoded representation of a binary string; and receives a selection from the user of the RFID tag identifier via the presented option of the graphical user interface; and an RFID reader that…
