[0002] The operation of reagent kits involves multiple steps, each directly impacting the results. Therefore, an effective identification and tracking system is needed in the management of reagent kits. However, traditional reagent kit management systems rely on manual operation or simple labeling systems, making it difficult to accurately identify the specific operating area of ​​the reagent kit. This identification method is not only prone to errors but may also lead to information omissions and incorrect operations, resulting in inconsistent operating procedures and affecting the accuracy and reliability of reagent kit management. Furthermore, existing tracking systems lack the ability to dynamically adapt to changes in the actual location of the reagent kit and the operating area. This means that when reagent kits are moved or the operating area changes, the system cannot automatically adjust and update information, leading to untimely information updates and affecting the overall tracking effectiveness and accuracy of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an intelligent identification and tracking system and method for reagent kits, aiming to solve the technical problem that existing technologies rely on manual recording or simple barcodes, leading to errors and inconsistencies in the information extraction process, which in turn causes chaotic operation procedures and affects the accuracy of identification and tracking.

[0004] The first aspect disclosed in this application provides an intelligent identification and tracking system for a reagent kit. The system includes: an operation area acquisition module, used to acquire multiple operation areas according to the entire operation process of the reagent kit, wherein each operation area is equipped with a corresponding RFID reader / writer; a tag generation module, used to generate multiple RFID tags based on the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas, wherein each RFID tag carries information related to the functional attributes of the area; a cloud platform construction module, used to connect the multiple RFID readers / writers corresponding to the multiple operation areas to construct an information tracking cloud platform; a tag information determination module, used to set the multiple RFID tags on the reagent kit, the information tracking cloud platform identifies the current operation area of ​​the reagent kit, switches to the RFID tag corresponding to the current operation area of ​​the reagent kit for information reading, and determines the RFID tag information of the current operation area; and a reagent kit tracking module, used to input the RFID tag information of the current operation area for tracking the reagent kit.

[0005] The second aspect of this application discloses an intelligent identification and tracking method for reagent kits. This method is implemented using the aforementioned intelligent identification and tracking system for reagent kits. The method includes: acquiring multiple operating areas based on the entire operation process of the reagent kit, wherein each operating area is equipped with a corresponding RFID reader; generating multiple RFID tags for the functional attribute information corresponding to each of the multiple operating areas, wherein each RFID tag carries information related to the functional attributes of the area; connecting the multiple RFID readers corresponding to the multiple operating areas to construct an information tracking cloud platform; setting the multiple RFID tags on the reagent kit; the information tracking cloud platform identifying the current operating area of ​​the reagent kit, switching to the RFID tag corresponding to the current operating area of ​​the reagent kit for information reading, and determining the RFID tag information of the current operating area; and recording the RFID tag information of the current operating area to track the reagent kit.

[0006] One or more technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0007] Based on the entire reagent kit operation process, multiple operation areas are acquired, and a corresponding RFID reader / writer is set up for each operation area. Multiple RFID tags are generated for the functional attribute information corresponding to each operation area. The system can read the corresponding information based on the functional attribute type of the operation area, ensuring that the operation data of each area matches its functional attributes, thereby improving the accuracy of information extraction. Connecting the RFID readers / writers of multiple operation areas, an information tracking cloud platform is constructed, enabling comprehensive information tracking and management of the reagent kit. This platform not only aggregates information from all operation areas but also updates and processes data in real time, improving the accuracy and reliability of information. The linkage between the RFID tags on the reagent kit and the information tracking cloud platform allows the system to switch to the corresponding RFID tag for information reading based on the current operation area of ​​the reagent kit. This dynamic identification and information reading mechanism improves the accuracy and efficiency of information extraction. Automatically recording RFID tag information for reagent kit tracking and verifying operational continuity through operation continuity checks verifies whether each operation step is performed as expected.

[0012] This application provides an intelligent identification and tracking system and method for reagent kits, which solves the technical problem that existing technologies rely on manual recording or simple barcodes, leading to errors and inconsistencies in the information extraction process, resulting in chaotic operation procedures and affecting the accuracy of identification and tracking.

[0013] After introducing the basic principles of this application, various non-limiting embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0014] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides an intelligent identification and tracking system for reagent kits, the system comprising:

[0015] The system comprises the following modules: an operation area acquisition module 10, which acquires multiple operation areas based on the entire operation process of the reagent kit, each operation area being equipped with a corresponding RFID reader / writer; a tag generation module 20, which generates multiple RFID tags for the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas, each RFID tag carrying information related to the functional attributes of the area; a cloud platform construction module 30, which connects the multiple RFID readers / writers corresponding to the multiple operation areas to construct an information tracking cloud platform; a tag information determination module 40, which sets the multiple RFID tags on the reagent kit, and the information tracking cloud platform identifies the current operation area of ​​the reagent kit, switches to the RFID tag corresponding to the current operation area of ​​the reagent kit for information reading, and determines the RFID tag information of the current operation area; and a reagent kit tracking module 50, which records the RFID tag information of the current operation area to track the reagent kit.

[0016] Furthermore, the reagent kit tracking module 50 also includes the following operating steps:

[0018] Furthermore, the label generation module 20 also includes the following operation steps:

[0019] Functional attribute information is collected from each operating area of ​​the entire reagent kit operation process, and functional attribute information samples are output. Based on the functional attribute information samples, information items are integrated to output N non-overlapping information items. N sub-data blocks are set according to the N information items, and each sub-data block is used to store the data of the corresponding information item. Multiple RFID tags are generated by encoding the N sub-data blocks to match the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operating areas.

[0020] Furthermore, the label generation module 20 also includes the following operation steps:

[0021] Assign a unique identifier to each sub-data block and output a data block encoding table, wherein the identifier is a fixed-length hash value sequence number; assign a functional attribute code to the information item corresponding to each sub-data block and output a functional attribute encoding table; match the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas based on the data block encoding table and the functional attribute encoding table.

[0022] Furthermore, the label generation module 20 also includes the following operation steps:

[0023] Assign a region mapping code to each sub-data block and the operation area, and output a region encoding table, wherein the region mapping code indicates the usage of the sub-data block in the operation area; generate an RFID encoding table based on the region encoding table, the data block encoding table, and the functional attribute encoding table; generate multiple RFID tags according to the RFID encoding table.

[0024] Furthermore, the operation area acquisition module 10 also includes the following operation steps:

[0025] Monitor the performance of the RFID reader / writer corresponding to each operating area and output a read / write performance monitoring dataset; analyze each RFID reader / writer based on the read / write performance monitoring dataset to obtain read / write performance indicators; set the position of the RFID reader / writer corresponding to each operating area according to the preset read / write performance indicators.

[0026] Furthermore, the operation area acquisition module 10 also includes the following operation steps:

[0027] Feature identification is performed on the multiple operating areas to obtain the operating range, reagent kit operating frequency, and operating environment conditions of each area; each operating area is analyzed according to the operating range, reagent kit operating frequency, and operating environment conditions to determine the tracking impact; the RFID tag information refresh frequency of each operating area is adjusted according to the tracking impact.

[0028] Through the detailed description of an intelligent identification and tracking method for reagent kits that follows, those skilled in the art will clearly understand that this embodiment is an intelligent identification and tracking system for reagent kits. Since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and relevant parts can be found in the method section.

[0029] Example 2, based on the same inventive concept as the intelligent identification and tracking system for reagent kits in the foregoing examples, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides an intelligent identification and tracking method for a reagent kit, the method comprising:

[0030] Based on the entire operation process of the reagent kit, multiple operation areas were obtained, and each operation area was equipped with a corresponding RFID reader / writer.

[0031] The entire operation process of the reagent kit is determined, including steps such as sample preparation, reagent addition, mixing, incubation, detection, and data recording. Different operation steps are performed in different physical areas. Based on the operation steps, the entire process is divided into several operation areas, with each operation area corresponding to a specific operation step or operation type.

[0032] The functional attributes of each operating area are identified, including the area's operating type, environmental conditions, equipment requirements, and operating frequency. For example, the sample processing area requires high-precision temperature control, while the data recording area emphasizes operational accuracy and information transmission speed. Based on the functional attributes of the operating area, the corresponding RFID reader is selected, taking into account factors such as reading distance, reading speed, anti-interference capability, and data processing ability. The reader deployment locations are determined based on the physical layout and functional requirements of the operating area, considering factors such as signal coverage, equipment installation conditions, and the number of readers.

[0033] For the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas, multiple RFID tags are generated, wherein the RFID tag of each area carries information related to the functional attributes of the area.

[0034] The system reads functional attribute information corresponding to multiple operation areas, including the operation type, environmental conditions, equipment requirements, and operation frequency of each area. It maps the functional attribute information items of each operation area to the corresponding RFID tag. Specifically, it assigns a unique identifier to each information item to ensure that the information item can be uniquely identified and read in different areas. Based on the functional attribute information, it designs a corresponding encoding scheme to encode the functional attribute information of each area into data in the RFID tag. According to the designed encoding scheme, it generates actual RFID tags and assigns them to the corresponding operation areas. The physical location of each tag is consistent with its corresponding operation area to ensure accurate reading during actual operation.

[0035] Connect multiple RFID readers corresponding to the multiple operating areas to build an information tracking cloud platform.

[0036] Multiple RFID readers in different operating areas are connected to build an information tracking cloud platform for real-time monitoring and management of reagent kit movement and operations in each area. Specifically, the network architecture of the RFID readers is designed to ensure that each reader in each operating area can communicate with the information tracking cloud platform in real time, using wired, wireless, or hybrid connections. The overall architecture of the information tracking cloud platform is constructed to ensure its ability to handle data transmitted from multiple RFID readers, including data receiving, data storage, and data processing modules. Finally, the communication parameters between the RFID readers and the cloud platform are configured to enable the RFID readers to transmit collected tag information to the cloud platform in real time.

[0037] The reagent kit is equipped with multiple RFID tags. The information tracking cloud platform identifies the current operating area of ​​the reagent kit, switches to the RFID tag corresponding to the current operating area of ​​the reagent kit to read information, and determines the RFID tag information of the current operating area.

[0038] Based on the structural characteristics of the reagent kit, the specific location of the RFID tag is determined to ensure that the tag's location will not interfere with the normal operation of the reagent kit and can be reliably read by the RFID reader in each operating area, thereby fixing the selected RFID tag in the predetermined location of the reagent kit.

[0039] The information tracking cloud platform identifies the current operating area of ​​the test kit by receiving RFID tag signals. Specifically, when the test kit enters an operating area, the RFID reader in that area captures and reads the RFID tag information on the test kit. The information tracking cloud platform determines the current operating area of ​​the test kit based on the tag ID of the RFID reader and the area configuration data.

[0040] When the reagent kit switches between different operating areas, the information tracking cloud platform automatically identifies the current operating area and switches to the corresponding RFID tag for data reading. Specifically, after identifying the current operating area, the cloud platform finds the RFID tag corresponding to that area through a predefined mapping relationship. After switching to the corresponding RFID tag, the RFID reader reads the information carried by the tag. After the RFID tag information is read, the information tracking cloud platform parses this data and matches it with the functional attributes of the operating area, thereby achieving accurate tracking of the reagent kit at each stage of the operation process.

[0041] The RFID tag information of the current operating area is entered to track the reagent kit.

[0042] The RFID tag information of the current operating area is entered into the information tracking cloud platform. This information is associated with the unique identifier of the reagent kit and mapped to the corresponding operation process node to form a complete record of the reagent kit operation process. These records include key data such as the status of the reagent kit in different operating areas, operation steps, and time points. Based on the entered RFID tag information, the information tracking cloud platform can track the current location and status of the reagent kit in real time to achieve accurate tracking.

[0043] Furthermore, the method for tracking the reagent kit by recording RFID tag information of the current operating area also includes:

[0044] Extract the RFID tag information already entered into the reagent kit; perform operation continuity verification based on the entered RFID tag information to obtain operation continuity identification results, including continuity verification passed and continuity verification failed; if the continuity verification passes, output the tracking result of the reagent kit according to the information tracking cloud platform; if the continuity verification fails, mark the reagent kit as having an abnormal status according to the information tracking cloud platform.

[0045] Using the unique identifier of the reagent kit, the RFID tag information already recorded in the reagent kit is extracted, including the tag's unique identifier, operation area identifier, timestamp, and functional attribute related data. The extracted RFID tag information is arranged in chronological order to reflect the operation path of the reagent kit from the beginning to the present.

[0046] Based on the RFID tag information, verify whether the reagent kit passes through each operation area in a predetermined order. For example, check whether the reagent kit enters the next correct operation area after completing a certain operation. At the same time, check the time the reagent kit stays in each operation area to ensure that there are no abnormal delays or jumps. If the stay time in an operation area exceeds the preset range, it is marked as abnormal.

[0047] If all RFID tag information meets the expected operation sequence and time requirements, a continuity check result is generated, indicating that the operation process of the kit is correct and continuous. If any operation steps that do not meet the expected requirements or time anomalies are found, a continuity check result is generated, and the specific anomaly and anomaly type are marked, including incorrect operation sequence, time anomalies, etc.

[0048] When the continuity verification passes, the information tracking cloud platform updates the status of the reagent kit, records its latest operation area and related information, including the current operation area name, the timestamp of operation completion, the overall operation progress of the reagent kit, etc. Based on this updated data, the tracking results of the reagent kit are generated, indicating the complete path of the reagent kit from the initial operation to the current operation area, as well as the operation details in each operation area, for the operator to view.

[0049] When the continuity test fails, the reagent kit is marked as abnormal in the information tracking cloud platform. The abnormality includes the type of abnormality, such as incorrect operation sequence or time abnormality, as well as the location of the abnormality, such as in which operation area or step the abnormality occurred.

[0050] Through the above steps, the information tracking cloud platform can ensure that the operation process of the reagent kit is effectively monitored and respond and handles it quickly in case of abnormalities, thereby ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the operation process.

[0051] Furthermore, the method for generating multiple RFID tags based on the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operating areas also includes:

[0052] Functional attribute information is collected from each operating area of ​​the entire reagent kit operation process, and functional attribute information samples are output. Based on the functional attribute information samples, information items are integrated to output N non-overlapping information items. N sub-data blocks are set according to the N information items, and each sub-data block is used to store the data of the corresponding information item. Multiple RFID tags are generated by encoding the N sub-data blocks to match the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operating areas.

[0053] The entire operation process of the reagent kit is thoroughly analyzed, including sample preparation, reagent addition, mixing, incubation, detection, and data recording. Each step corresponds to one or more operation areas, and each area has specific functional attributes. For example, some areas are specifically used for reagent addition, while others are used for mixing or detection.

[0054] Within each operating area, the functional attributes of that area are identified. These attributes include, but are not limited to, operating steps, required equipment, environmental conditions (such as temperature and humidity), operating time, reagent type, and reaction conditions. Using sensors and other data acquisition devices, functional attribute information is collected from each operating area in real time. For example, in the reagent addition area, information such as the specific reagent type, amount added, and operating time can be collected.

[0055] The functional attribute information collected from each operation area will be summarized and classified according to the operation area and attribute type to form a functional attribute information sample. The sample includes a description of the functional attributes of each area.

[0056] Specific information items for each operation area are extracted from the functional attribute information sample. Each information item corresponds to an independent functional attribute, such as reagent type, dosage, and operation time. The information items are standardized to ensure they have a uniform format. Then, the information items are integrated, specifically by eliminating duplicate or redundant information items, ensuring that each information item in the final integration result is unique and accurately represents its corresponding functional attribute. For example, if multiple areas involve the same operation steps or reagent types, only one copy of this information needs to be retained. Based on the information item integration result, N non-overlapping information items are obtained.

[0057] Based on the number of N information items, N sub-data blocks are pre-divided. The main function of the sub-data blocks is to store data. Each block corresponds to an independent information item. Each information item is mapped to its corresponding sub-data block. This mapping ensures a one-to-one correspondence between information items and data blocks, so that the data of each information item is stored in the corresponding block.

[0058] Before generating RFID tags, each sub-data block is encoded. Encoding rules can be based on various factors such as the block's content, the corresponding operating area, and functional attribute information. The purpose of encoding is to compress the block data and convert it into an easily identifiable and transmittable format, assigning a unique identifier to each sub-data block to ensure that each block can be independently identified. By encoding each sub-data block and matching these codes with the functional attribute information of the operating area, it is ensured that the RFID tag accurately reflects the actual operational needs of the corresponding area. For example, if a specific area requires temperature control of a certain reagent, then the corresponding RFID tag will contain information about the functional attributes of that area.

[0059] Based on the encoded and matched sub-data blocks, multiple RFID tags are generated. Each tag contains the encoded information of the sub-data block and the corresponding regional functional attribute information. Through these RFID tags, the system can track the status of the reagent kit in different operating areas in real time, ensuring the continuity and correctness of the operating procedures.

[0060] Furthermore, the method of encoding the N sub-data blocks to match the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas includes:

[0061] Assign a unique identifier to each sub-data block and output a data block encoding table, wherein the identifier is a fixed-length hash value sequence number; assign a functional attribute code to the information item corresponding to each sub-data block and output a functional attribute encoding table; match the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas based on the data block encoding table and the functional attribute encoding table.

[0062] Each sub-data block is assigned a unique identifier to ensure its unique identification and reference within the system. This identifier is a fixed-length hash sequence number, such as "BID-001", "BID-002", etc., ensuring each sub-data block has a unique label. To generate the fixed-length hash value, a cryptographic hash algorithm, such as SHA-256 or MD5, can be used. This hash algorithm transforms data (such as the content of a sub-data block) into a fixed-length string that is unique and unpredictable. The identifiers of all sub-data blocks are then integrated to obtain a data block encoding table. This table records the mapping relationship between each identifier and its corresponding sub-data block.

[0063] A functional attribute code is assigned to each information item corresponding to each sub-data block. This code is a short identifier indicating the specific attribute category of each information item. For example, the code for the temperature control function item is "TC01," and the code for the instruction manual function item is "U101." These codes help the system and users quickly identify and categorize information items. The letter in the first part represents the abbreviation of the function category, and the number in the second part is used to further distinguish the function items. The functional attribute codes of all sub-data blocks are integrated to obtain a functional attribute coding table, which records the relationship between each functional attribute code and its corresponding information item.

[0064] Based on the identifiers in the data block coding table and the codes in the functional attribute coding table, a mapping relationship between sub-data blocks and functional attributes is established. According to the functional attribute requirements of the operation area, the sub-data blocks that match the requirements are found. Based on the matching results, the RFID tags required for each operation area are generated. Each tag contains sub-data block information corresponding to the functional attributes of the operation area. The matched functional attribute information is encoded into the RFID tag.

[0065] Furthermore, the method for matching the functional attribute information corresponding to the multiple operation areas includes:

[0066] Assign a region mapping code to each sub-data block and the operation area, and output a region encoding table, wherein the region mapping code indicates the usage of the sub-data block in the operation area; generate an RFID encoding table based on the region encoding table, the data block encoding table, and the functional attribute encoding table; generate multiple RFID tags according to the RFID encoding table.

[0067] A region mapping code is assigned to each sub-data block and its corresponding operating area. This region mapping code is an identifier indicating the usage of the sub-data block within a specific operating area. It indicates the application of each sub-data block in different operating areas to facilitate correct encoding and reading of RFID tags. For example, the storage area mapping code is "ST01," used to identify the specific location or purpose of the sub-data block within the storage area; the operating area mapping code is "OP01," used to indicate the specific function or role of the sub-data block within the operating area. All the region mapping codes of the sub-data blocks are integrated to output a region encoding table, which records each sub-data block and its corresponding region mapping code.

[0068] For each sub-data block, based on its usage in different operating areas, the storage area mapping code, operating area mapping code, and sub-data block identifier are combined. For example, sub-data block "BID-001" is used in operating area "OP01". The functional attribute code of each sub-data block is combined with its corresponding area mapping code and operating area mapping code. For example, sub-data block "BID-001" provides the "TC01" temperature control function. Combining the above information, an RFID encoding table is generated. Each RFID tag code includes an area mapping code, a sub-data block identifier, and a functional attribute code.

[0069] Configure RFID tags based on the information in the RFID coding table to enable the identification, tracking, and management of the reagent kit in practical applications. Each RFID tag carries specific information for reading and processing relevant data in the operating area.

[0070] Furthermore, each operating area is equipped with a corresponding RFID reader / writer, and the method includes:

[0071] Monitor the performance of the RFID reader / writer corresponding to each operating area and output a read / write performance monitoring dataset; analyze each RFID reader / writer based on the read / write performance monitoring dataset to obtain read / write performance indicators; set the position of the RFID reader / writer corresponding to each operating area according to the preset read / write performance indicators.

[0072] Determine monitoring parameters, including reading distance, reading speed, data accuracy, and anti-interference capability. Monitor the performance of the RFID reader / writer for each operating area based on these parameters. For example, use test tags and RFID readers / writers, gradually increasing the distance between the tags and the reader, recording the reader's success rate at different distances, and determining the maximum effective reading distance. Read multiple tags within a specified time (e.g., 1 minute), calculating the total number of reads and the average reading speed. Test with a set of tags with known content, record the data read by the reader / writer, compare it with actual tag data, and calculate accuracy, such as the percentage of correct reads. Summarize all test data and output a read / write performance monitoring dataset.

[0073] Each RFID reader is analyzed based on the read / write performance monitoring dataset. For example, graphs are plotted to show performance indicators such as reading distance, reading speed, data accuracy, and anti-interference capability. This allows for a direct comparison of the performance of different RFID readers, such as comparing the performance differences between RFID readers of the same batch or model. This helps identify devices with superior or inferior performance and categorizes RFID readers into different levels, such as excellent, qualified, and unqualified, based on performance indicators, to aid in developing further operational plans.

[0074] Define the preset read and write performance indicators. These indicators specify the performance standards that the RFID reader needs to achieve, such as the shortest reading distance, minimum reading speed, and minimum data accuracy. Set the target value for each performance indicator according to the application requirements.

[0075] Acquire characteristic information for each operating area, including area, structure, and potential obstacles. Compare the actual performance of each RFID reader with preset performance indicators to determine which devices can meet the requirements. For example, calculate the coverage area of ​​the RFID reader within the operating area based on its maximum reading range, identify potential blind spots or weak signal areas within each operating area, and ensure that these areas can be effectively covered by the RFID reader. Based on the coverage area and blind spot analysis, determine the installation location of the RFID reader to achieve the preset performance indicators.

[0076] Furthermore, methods for obtaining multiple operating areas also include:

[0077] Feature identification is performed on the multiple operating areas to obtain the operating range, reagent kit operating frequency, and operating environment conditions of each area; each operating area is analyzed according to the operating range, reagent kit operating frequency, and operating environment conditions to determine the tracking impact; the RFID tag information refresh frequency of each operating area is adjusted according to the tracking impact.

[0078] Using measuring tools, such as laser rangefinders, accurately measure the boundaries and area of ​​each operating area. Draw a schematic diagram of the operating area based on the measurement data, analyze the spatial layout of each operating area, including the main work area, storage area, passage, etc., and identify obstacles in the area, such as pillars, walls, and equipment. These obstacles may affect the coverage and performance of the RFID reader. Determine the operating range of the area based on the area analysis results.

[0079] Collect historical operation data of the reagent kit in each operation area, including usage frequency, operation time and operation type, etc. Calculate the usage frequency of the reagent kit in different operation areas, identify high-frequency and low-frequency usage areas, and determine the operation frequency of the reagent kit.

[0080] Use environmental monitoring equipment, such as thermometers and hygrometers, to measure the temperature and humidity of each operating area, as well as to detect electromagnetic interference sources within the operating area, to obtain the operating environment conditions.

[0081] Impact analyses were conducted based on the operating area, reagent kit operating frequency, and operating environment conditions. Specifically, the analysis examined the coverage requirements of the RFID reader based on the operating area, identifying the tracking difficulty in large areas or complex layouts, which require more RFID readers or higher-performance equipment. The impact of reagent kit operating frequency on tracking requirements was assessed; high-frequency operating areas require higher read / write speeds and more frequent updates to ensure real-time tracking. The impact of environmental conditions on RFID reader performance was analyzed; for example, high temperature, high humidity, or electromagnetic interference may reduce the device's reading capability, requiring corresponding adjustments or enhancements. Based on the above analysis results, the tracking impact was determined. Tracking impact refers to the degree to which the characteristics of the operating area, including the operating area, reagent kit operating frequency, and operating environment conditions, affect the performance of the RFID tracking system.

[0082] The refresh frequency of RFID tag information is adjusted according to the tracking impact of each operating area to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. For example, for areas with high tracking impact, such as areas with frequent operations and complex environments, a higher refresh frequency is set to ensure real-time updates and accuracy of information, such as refreshing tag information every minute or more; for areas with medium tracking impact, a medium refresh frequency is set, such as refreshing tag information every 5-10 minutes; for areas with low tracking impact, such as areas with low operation frequency and stable environments, a lower refresh frequency is set, such as refreshing tag information every 15-30 minutes.

[0083] These steps allow for the optimization of RFID tag information refresh frequency based on the tracking impact of each operational area, improving system efficiency and accuracy while meeting practical operational needs.

[0084] In summary, the intelligent identification and tracking method for reagent kits provided in this application has the following technical effects:

[0085] Based on the entire reagent kit operation process, multiple operation areas are acquired, and a corresponding RFID reader / writer is set up for each operation area. Multiple RFID tags are generated for the functional attribute information corresponding to each operation area. The system can read the corresponding information based on the functional attribute type of the operation area, ensuring that the operation data of each area matches its functional attributes, thereby improving the accuracy of information extraction. Connecting the RFID readers / writers of multiple operation areas, an information tracking cloud platform is constructed, enabling comprehensive information tracking and management of the reagent kit. This platform not only aggregates information from all operation areas but also updates and processes data in real time, improving the accuracy and reliability of information. The linkage between the RFID tags on the reagent kit and the information tracking cloud platform allows the system to switch to the corresponding RFID tag for information reading based on the current operation area of ​​the reagent kit. This dynamic identification and information reading mechanism improves the accuracy and efficiency of information extraction. Automatically recording RFID tag information for reagent kit tracking and verifying operational continuity through operation continuity checks verifies whether each operation step is performed as expected. This not only improves the reliability of tracking but also allows for timely identification and handling of potential anomalies.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
