An RFID reader controlling device based on a plurality of RFID reader protocols receives control instructions for controlling RFID readers from application devices providing services, and confirms RFID reader protocol types corresponding to control instructions to confirm whether communication channels corresponding to RFID reader protocols are generated. Further, the RFID reader controlling device transmits the control instructions to the RFID readers through the communication channels and transmits the control results of the RFID readers corresponding to the control instructions.

Provided is a real-time business process triggering system (RBPTS) using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and a method thereof. The RBPTS is to provides interface to a corporation information system by generating an RFID event proper to a specific domain by giving the RFID data a business meaning to apply the RFID data to a predetermined rule before transmitting the RFID data to the corporation information system, provide a rule modeling function to flexibly managing changes in application field and environment, and provide an RFID related-action related to rule performance, and a method thereof. The RBPTS includes: an RFID middleware adapter for receiving RFID data from an RFID middleware/RFID reader and generating RFID events Extensible Markup Language (XML) document; an event manager for receiving the RFID events XML document from the RFID middleware adapter and generating an event query for inference; a rule manager for generating a result set by performing rule inference on the event query through an inference engine and generating an action list; Web Service arbitrator for communicating through Web Service using an external application and a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP); an action manager for performing real-time action by calling the Web Service through the Web Service arbitrator based on the action list; and an event repository for storing and managing registered all RFID event information, rule and action. The RBPTS is applied to maritime freight transportation.
