Abstract
A method includes transmitting, by a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, a series of RF signals to a plurality of RF receiver circuits in a time sequence. The first RF signal commands the plurality of RF receiver circuits to remain silent when received signal strength of the first RF signal corresponds to a power level greater than a first power level. The method further includes receiving one or more sets of responses from one or more sets of RF receiver circuits of the plurality of RF receiver circuits in response to the series of RF signals. The method further includes determining an area of interest based on the one or more sets of responses, determining a set of power levels corresponding to the area of interest, and transmitting a second series of RF signals to the plurality of RF receiver circuits in a second time sequence.
