Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to adaptive RFID communication. A tag device includes a storage configured to store content that is executable by a proxy device associated with a reader device. The tag device includes a communication component configured to transmit the content to the reader device, the content, when executed by the proxy device, causing an action associated with the tag device to be performed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a proxy device, an executable content from a reader device, wherein the executable content is a program code executable by the proxy device associated with the reader device, and wherein the executable content being executable by the proxy device and provided by a tag device to the reader device;
causing the content to be executed by the proxy device;
wherein causing the executable content to be executed comprises:
retrieving executable code from a location specified by a reference to the executable code, the reference being included in the received executable content;
dispatching the retrieved executable code to a respective module for execution;
obtaining a property of an object to which the tag device is attached, the object being associated with a user; and
detecting, based on the property, a conflict between the object and a further object associated with the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the executable content to be executed comprises:
in response to determining that the executable content includes executable code, dispatching the executable code to a respective module for execution.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing a result obtained by executing the executable content to be provided to a user.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein causing the result to be provided to the user comprises:
causing the result to be provided to the user via a device in an environment associated with the user, the device being separated from the proxy device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the executable content to be executed comprises:
obtaining information of an object to which the tag device is attached; and
managing the obtained information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the executable content to be executed comprises:
determining an action associated with an object to which the tag device is attached; and
causing the action to be performed.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein causing the executable content to be executed further comprises determining a condition for the action; and
wherein causing the action to be performed comprises causing the action to be performed in response to determining that the condition is met.
