Embodiment Construction

[0012] The present disclosure teaches a solution for determining the legitimacy of the movement of RFID-identified assets through a defined zone of interest. A video surveillance system with cameras for which a virtual tripwire can be defined can detect asset movement across the virtual tripwire, thereby triggering a tripwire event. The tripwire event can be sent to an asset management system with a mobile authentication component. The mobile verification component can request identifying RFID data for the asset from the RFID processing system. Using RFID data and asset movement specifications, the movement verification component can determine the legitimacy of asset movement over the virtual tripwire. Data on improper asset movements can be aggregated and stored as suspicious movement data for later inspection.

[0013] Those skilled in the art can easily understand that various aspects of the present disclosure can be embodied as a system, method or computer program produc...

Abstract

Validation of asset movement can begin with the definition of a virtual tripwire for video cameras of a video surveillance system that monitor a defined area of interest through which RFID-identified assets are conveyed. The virtual tripwire can visually define a boundary within the view field of the video camera. The video camera can detect the movement of an asset through a virtual tripwire and an asset management system can be notified of the potential misdirection of the asset. The asset management system can obtain the asset's RFID data from a RFID handling system that monitors the area of interest. The validity of the detected movement can be determined using RFID data and an asset movement specification that defines pathing rules for assets and virtual tripwires. When the movement of the asset is determined to be invalid, a record of suspect movement data can be generated for the asset.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of asset management, and more particularly, to authenticating asset movement using a virtual tripwire and radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled asset management system. Background technique [0002] Monitoring the movement of assets through large and / or complex conveyor systems is often a daunting task. Misdelivery of assets through these systems requires time and effort to correct, and even more time and effort to determine the cause in order to prevent additional misdeliveries from occurring. In an attempt to reduce misdelivery of assets, many asset management systems utilize radio frequency identification (RFID) systems to track asset movement and video surveillance systems to create a visual record. [0003] Additionally, some of these asset management systems (those utilizing video surveillance and RFID systems) include notification capabilities when an asset does not follow its route through a ...
