Abstract:
Several embodiments of the invention provide for a system and processes for joint entity and object tracking using RFID and a detection network. The use of RFID and a detection network allows for the efficient detection, tracking, and recording of an entity path. Various embodiments of the invention allow the system to track the paths of entities through a space and to monitor the entities' interactions with objects in the space. In addition to tracking entities' paths, the system of some embodiments associates each entity with various objects that each entity interacts with, and uses targeted reads of the associated objects to distinguish and verify the paths associated with each entity. The paths and interactions of the entities with objects in the space are then recorded and analyzed to provide insight about the different entities and about their interactions within the space.

Claim (Index 14):
A system for monitoring entities in a physical space, the system comprising:\n a detection system for detecting a set of entities in the physical space, the detection system comprising a plurality of cameras having different fields of view, wherein the detection system detects the presence of entities within each camera's field of view; a RFID reader system for performing a set of tag reads to detect movement of tags proximate to a region in which a particular entity is detected by the detection system; a path tracking system for tracking a path for each entity of the set of entities through the physical space and for associating a particular tag with the particular entity and a corresponding path of the particular entity based on detected movement of the particular tag; and a tracking database for recording the corresponding path for each entity based on the set of tag reads, the detected presence of the set of entities, and tags associated with at least one entity of the set of entities.
