A reader () for reading data, the data being associated with a radio frequency identification ('RFID') tag () and carried by a data signal originating from the RFID tag, the reader () comprising processing means () and storage means, the storage means having instructions stored thereon, whereby the processing means () is operable, under control of the instructions, to periodically switch the reader () from a first state to a second state; wherein, when the reader () is in the second state, the reader () is operable to determine an occurrence of a tag present event corresponding to the presence of an RFID tag within a field generated to activate an RFID tag to transmit a respective data signal carrying data associated with the RFID tag, and one or more other events; following determination of the one or more other events, return the reader to the first state; and following determination of the tag present event, receive and store in the storage means a representation of the data signal originating from the RFID tag, process the RFID tag signal representation to determine the data signal, and read the data of the determined data signal.

Reader and method for reading data

A reader () for reading a plurality of data, wherein each data in the plurality of data is associated with a respective source () and is carried by a respective data signal originating from the respective source (), the reader () comprising processing means () and a storage means, the storage means having instructions stored thereon, whereby the processing means () is operable, under control of the instructions, to: receive and store in the storage means a representation of a combination of the respective data signals; process the representation to determine one or more data signals of the combination of the respective data signals of the representation; and to read the data of the determined one or more data signals.

This invention relates to radio frequency identification (RFID) apparatus comprising a reader/writer and transponders (tags) such that 2 or more transponders are capable of operating simultaneously in the same field so that information in the form of data bits may be received from or sent to the tags without corruption.
