Embodiment Construction

[0018] As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention that can be embodied in various and alternative forms. The figures are not necessarily to scale; some features may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.

[0019] figure 1 An example block topology of a vehicle-based computing system 1 (VCS) of a vehicle 31 is shown. An example of such a vehicle-based computing system 1 is the SYNC system manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. A vehicle using a vehicle-based computing system may include a visual front-end interface 4 located in the vehicle. It is also possible for the user to interact wi...

Abstract

The invention provides radio frequency identification object tracking. A computer-implemented method includes detecting, through an RF transceiver in communication with a vehicle computing system, the proximate presence of one or more RFID tags. The method also includes determining, via the vehicle computing system, a type of potential hazard to which the detected tag corresponds. The method further includes notifying, via the vehicle computing system, a driver of the presence of the determined type of potential hazard.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to tracking objects using radio frequency identification (RFID) in conjunction with a vehicle computing system. Background technique [0002] With the rise of RFID technology and the relatively inexpensive nature of including passive RFID tags on a variety of products and objects, RFID has become a viable option for theft prevention, inventory management, personnel tracking, and even checkout at stores. [0003] Typically, a complete RFID system includes both transceivers and transponders. Transponders are generally low cost tags that can be included cheaply in packaging or labels. Some RFID transponders are even printed directly on the product or packaging using metallic inks. [0004] Transceivers are typically included in devices designed to detect signals from RFID transponders (RFID tags). However, RFID tags generally do not produce an acceptable signal. Instead, the tag is passive, waiting to be e...
