Claim 27:
28. A system for detecting information of assets stored in communication tags and communicating the assets information over a communication network, the system comprising:
a bi-directional communication reader having at least one antenna with associated signal strength and antenna number, wherein the bi-directional communication reader processes the received assets information from the communication tags;
a server having a database for storing asset information, wherein the server communicates with the bi-directional communication reader and stores the asset information using a software application;
at least one member of the group consisting of a GPS unit operably connected to the server, a relay switch operably connected to the server, a camera operably connected to the server to generate visual data, a wireless communication unit operably connected to the server for providing bi-directional communication with the server, and an Image Recognition Engine to determine the attributes of an object within the image, or determine if two images are a match or no match based on the request from the event module;
wherein the software application comprising:
a front end application module to receive at least one operational mode from a user, wherein the operational mode relates to the setting of the operation of the bi-directional communication reader;
an event module for reading the asset information from the database and alerting the user if a certain event occurs, the event module configured by the front end application module to set a specific rule that triggers an event;
a back end application module configured via the front end application module, wherein the back end application module configures the bi-directional communication reader, as per the selected operational mode, to process the required information from the communication tags read by the bi-directional communication reader;
a real time module configured via the front-end application module wherein the real time module writes additional information to the tag based on data information stored in the real time module table;
a remote configuration module configured via the front-end application module wherein the remote configuration module reads configuration information from the remote configuration table to configure any module in real time;
a communication module for receiving processed assets information from the communication tags via the bi-directional communication reader having at least one antenna, wherein the communication module communicates the processed assets information over the communication network via a proprietary protocol; and
at least one member of the group consisting of a GPS communication module for processing information received from the GPS unit to determine location of the server, a relay communication module to receive events from the event module; a jitter control module reading the asset information from the database and removing the asset information when assets access a physical area that causes invalid reads; an IR communication module to receive events from the event module to request attributes based on an object within the image or a match no match response from the Image Recognition Engine, the attribute or match no match responses are then stored in the database; a camera communication module for processing information from the camera; and a reader control module to start and stop the back-end application module from running when motion is detected from a motion detector communication module;
wherein the inclusion of the GPS communication module, the relay communication module, the IR communication module, the camera communication module, and the reader control module is determined by the inclusion of the GPS unit, the relay switch, the Image Recognition Engine, and the camera unit.
