Abstract:
1. A system for representing on a user interface a plurality of transponders in a file system of a computing device, the user interface provided by the device, the device configured for communicating with the transponders when present in an electromagnetic spectrum in communication range of the device, the communication between the transponders and the device using radio frequency signals to obtain information of the transponders, the system comprising: a first memory location of the device configured for storing the transponder information as a plurality of corresponding transponder fifes generated in the file system, the presence of the plurality of corresponding transponder files in the file system dependent on the transponders being in communication range of the device, such that the data content of the transponders is coupled to the data content of the plurality of corresponding transponder files in the file system; a driver for coordinating the transfer of the transponder information between the transponder and the first memory location according to an access command, the access command configured for directing the computing device to obtain the transponder information from the transponders when in communication range of the device; and a file processor for manipulating the transponder information present in the transponder files; wherein the transponder information contents of the transponder files represents at least a portion of the transponder information available in the electromagnetic spectrum in communication range of the device.
