Information RFID tagging facilities
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a system of information RFID tagging facilities comprising a first radio frequency (RF) tag, a second RF tag, and a third RF tag, wherein the first RF tag, the second RF tag, and the third RF tag are adapted to at least in part operate using energy received from an RF signal, wherein: (i) at least one of the first RF tag and the second RF tag receives an RF signal from an RF device, (ii) the first RF tag transmits data to the second RF tag, and (iii) the second RF tag stores the transmitted data from the first RF tag in a memory on the second RF tag, wherein the third RF tag is out of range of the RF signal from the RF device, and the data transferred from the first RF tag to the second RF tag is subsequently relayed from the second RF tag to the third RF tag.
1. A system, comprising:
a first radio frequency (RF) tag;
a second RF tag, wherein the first RF tag and the second RF tag are adapted to at least in part operate using energy received from an RF signal,
wherein:
(i) at least one of the first RF tag and the second RF tag receives an RF signal from an RF device,
(ii) the first RF tag transmits data to the second RF tag, and
(iii) the second RF tag stores the transmitted data from the first RF tag in a memory on the second RF tag, and
a third RF tag adapted to operate at least in part using energy received from an RF signal, wherein the third RF tag is out of range of the RF signal from the RF device, and the data transferred from the first RF tag to the second RF tag is subsequently relayed from the second RF tag to the third RF tag.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the third RF tag operates using energy received from an RF signal from the second RF tag.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the RF device is a fourth RF tag that is powered by an external energy source.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the external energy source is a battery.
5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the external energy source is solar energy.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein second RF tag is out of range of the RF signal from the RF device.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second RF tag operates at least in part from energy received from the first RFID tag.
8. A system, comprising:
a first radio frequency (RF) tag and a second RF tag, wherein the first RF tag and the second RF tag are adapted to at least in part operate using energy received from an RF signal,
wherein:
(i) at least one of the first RF tag and the second RF tag receives an RF signal from an RF device,
(ii) the first RF tag transmits data to the second RF tag, and
(iii) the second RF tag stores the transmitted data from the first RF tag in a memory on the second RF tag; and
a third RF tag adapted to operate using energy received from an RF signal, wherein the first RF tag, the second RF tag, and the third RF tag are adapted to exchange data.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the exchange of data is through a network protocol.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the exchange of data is only data transferred between the first RF tag, the second RF tag, and the third RF tag.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the exchange of data comprises transfer of data between the RF device and at least one of the first RF tag, the second RF tag, and the third RF tag.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the RF device is a fourth RF tag that is powered by an external energy source.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the external energy source is a battery.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the external energy source is solar energy.
