Abstract:
1. A method comprising: transmitting a communication from an application to a single RFID interrogator interface; creating first and second virtual multiplex interrogator interfaces via the single RFID interrogator interface based upon the communication, the first and second virtual multiplex interrogator interfaces associated with first and second multiplex interrogators, respectively; adding the application as an RFID listener of the first and second virtual multiplex interrogator interface via the single RFID interrogator interface; initiating scanning for the RFID tag at the first and second virtual multiplex interrogator interfaces by the single interrogator interface; detecting the RFID tag via the first or second multiplex interrogator; issuing a notification including an RFID event from the first or second multiplex interrogator interface based upon detecting the RFID tag receiving the RFID event at the application; and rendering a graphical user interface outputting event information based on the received RFID event.
