ABSTRACT:
A system for predicting a trajectory of an item tagged with an RFID tag. The system includes a network of communicatively coupled RFID readers, each having tag cache memory, and a search engine communicatively coupled with the tag caches in each of the readers. When a tag is within operating range of one of the readers, the tag is interrogated for its data and path information comprising timestamps of reader-tag interactions and related event data, and updated path information is stored in the tag cache memory. The search engine performs a search the tag cache memory in one of one of the readers to locate information corresponding to search criteria including characteristics of the tagged item sought. When the information corresponding to the search criteria is found, the path information is retrieved, and the trajectory of the item is extrapolated using a transit time of the item and average velocity of the item, determined from the timestamps and known distances between locations of each of the reader-tag interactions, along an expected path of the item.
