Abstract:
Systems and methods for operating a Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) tag. The methods comprise: monitoring a level of Radio Frequency (“RF”) energy being received by the RFID tag; performing operations by a circuit of the RFID tag to compare the level of RF energy in a given frequency band to a first threshold value; and transitioning an operational mode of the RFID tag from a first operational mode in which a receiver is disabled to a second operational mode in which the receiver is enabled, when the level of RF energy exceeds the first threshold value. The RFID tag is able to communicate with a remote tag reader when the RFID tag is in the second operational mode and not when the RFID tag is in the first operational mode.

Claim (Index 13):
The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising performing operations by the first RFID tag, prior to said transitioning, to determine whether the operational mode thereof should be transitioned from the first operational mode based on at least one of (a) time since last communication, (b) current operational state of the first RFID tag, (c) a threshold level, (e) a number of communication collisions that occurred during a time period, (f) a number of times a first RFID tag transmitted a signal during a time period, (g) a period of time since the first RFID tag received a last interrogation signal, (h) a purpose or intended use of the first RFID tag, (i) a physical location of the first RFID tag in a facility, (j) a number of other second RFID tags in proximity to the first RFID tag, (k) the first RFID tag's power source level of charge, and (l) current conditions of a surrounding environment.
