Dynamic rfid tag location determination system for gaming tables
The patent US12056564B2 describes a sophisticated system designed to determine the locations of objects within a gaming environment using radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. The system comprises multiple RFID antennas strategically placed on a gaming table, an RFID reader connected to these antennas, and a set of reactive tuning components that facilitate communication between the antennas and the reader. A key feature of this system is its controller, which dynamically adjusts the reactance between the RFID reader and selected antennas. This adjustment process includes impedance matching and the selective connection of reactive components to optimize the performance of the RFID system.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for enhancing the accuracy of object location determination. A network analyzer system is integrated to measure the reflection coefficient of the antennas, allowing the controller to make informed adjustments to the reactance based on real-time data. The system is designed to perform multiple read operations, with the controller continuously adjusting reactance to improve reading accuracy. Various configurations of the RFID antennas and tuning components are also described, enabling the system to adapt to different operational conditions. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving RFID-based object location tracking in gaming environments through dynamic reactance adjustments and real-time feedback mechanisms.
