Abstract:
1. A method for minimizing interference between a first wireless transceiver device and a second wireless transceiver device in communication with a first type of wireless identification tag using a first communication protocol and a second type of wireless identification tag using a second communication protocol, the method comprising: performing, by a first wireless transceiver device, a query to determine a presence of each wireless communication protocol used by a first type of wireless identification tag and a second type of wireless identification tag; and reconfiguring, by the first wireless transceiver device in order to minimize interference between the first wireless transceiver device and the second wireless transceiver device, via a message generated responsive to the query and received by the second wireless transceiver device over a network, a digital signal processor of the second wireless transceiver device to (1) begin use of a wireless communication protocol for communicating with the first or second type of wireless identification tag, (2) discontinue use of a wireless communication protocol for communicating with the first or second type of wireless identification tag, or (3) modify a wireless communication protocol for communicating with the first or second type of wireless identification tag.
