Patent ID: 8207822

Claim:
A system configured to facilitate receiving data from at least one device, the system comprising: a radio frequency identification (RFID) network that includes at least one device configured to receive data from a tag; and a batcher component configured to: collect at least a subset of the data from the at least one device from a start boundary to an end boundary defined by the batcher component; transform the subset of the data, including appending metadata to the subset of the data prior to processing the subset of the data, the metadata being indicative of one or more parameters for processing a filtered subset of the data, and being defined at during design time the metadata is and compiled into one or more relational queries defining the start boundary and the end boundary at least one boundary condition that an RFID server executes on incoming reads; receive the at least one boundary condition in accordance with a compiled RFID process, wherein the compiled RFID process provides a relational database query; and communicate the subset of the data and the metadata to an RFID process.
