RFID technology as a typical convergence technology combines RFID communication, mobile communication and network infrastructure, and information processing technology. As it enables users to communicate with the surroundings, RFID technology is now recognized to serve as the basis technology for the ubiquitous information society where users can get the needed information anytime and anywhere. Through lots of efforts for the early technology development and standardization activities on RFID technology, Korea has been leading technology standardization as well as technology initiatives. Thus in this paper, we discuss the RFID technology trend by analyzing RFID standard patent data which is declared in international organization for standardization (ISO, IEC, ITU). Especially, we analyzed 906 standard patents data that declared in International organization for standardization (SO, ISO/IEC JTC1, ITU-T) on June 2013.

USN and RFID, as new technologies for realization of ubiquitous computing, are closely related with each other technically. Nevertheless, these technologies are recognized as a separate research topic, and there are few researches on technical convergence of the two research areas. In this paper, we propose an efficient processing method of various kinds of sensor data which are used in USN environment to provide efficiency from the view point of not only convergence of USN and RFID technologies but also cost and extensibility. Especially, we propose a method of conversion of various sensor data into EPC data format which can be handled in a RFID middleware. Using the proposed method, RFID middleware systems based on international standard specification can handle not only RFID tag data but also general sensor data efficiently, and various types of ubiquitous application services can be implemented at low cost and in a short time.

An RFID system has been widely applied in many areas over the initial SCM application. In the literature enormous RFID applications in healthcare are documented to improve patient safety, patient/provider logistics, and the efficiency of collecting data. Based on the proposed 4-layered RFID system architecture, we introduce a case that implemented an UHF passive RFID-based tracking system in an outpatient clinic. Particularly, we propose a method to process RFID data that contains noise and missing reads. The proposed method for processing unreliable RFID data is capable to locate the tag accurately and provide additional business information. We finally conclude the paper with identifying obstacles and what is necessary to ensure system reliability.

The purpose of this study is to analyze ISO/DIS 28560 and to cope with the current developments in library RFID technologies. The user data elements in part 1 and encoding rules in part 2 and part 3 of ISO/DIS 28560 are explored. In addition, a few corresponding cases regarding user data elements on ISO/DIS 28560 are investigated. Based on the corresponding cases, four user data elements are selected. They are , , , and . This study expects to allow fertile ground for discussion on the selection of user data elements in Korea.

In this paper, we propose a policy-driven RFID data management event definition language, which is possibly applicable as a partial standard for SSI (Software System Infrastructure) Part 4 (Application Interface, 24791-4) defined by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31/WG 4 (RFID for Item Management). The SSI's RFID application interface part is originally defined for providing a unified interface of the RFID middleware functionality―data management, device management, device interface and security functions. However, the current specifications are too circumstantial to be understood by the application developers who used to lack the professional and technological backgrounds of the RFID middleware functionality. As an impeccable solution, we use the concept of event-constraint policy that is not only representing semantic contents of RFID domains but also providing transparencies with higher level abstractions to RFID applications, and that is able to provide a means of specifying event-constraints for filtering a huge number of raw data caught from the associated RF readers. Conclusively, we try to embody the proposed concept by newly defining an XML-based RFID event policy definition language, which is abbreviated to rXPDL. Additionally, we expect that the specification of rXPDL proposed in the paper becomes a technological basis for the domestic as well as the international standards that are able to be extensively applied to RFID and ubiquitous sensor networks.

RFID system in manufacturing industry is used to collect, categorize, and process the data of products. To install RFID system for a large factory, a large amount of wired data communication network is necessary for RS232 communication. If the installed location of RFID system in the factory is changed or extended, a reinstallment is required for the already installed wired data network. A large amount of time/financial reinvestment is necessary for such reinstallation. By using wireless data communication network, however, the initial installation and reinstallation are very simple. In this paper, we implemented a wireless communication system and RFID system. We used the CC1020 chip for wireless communication system and EM4095 chip for RFID system. CC1020 chip enables highly-reliable data communication, and by setting a simple status register, it can switch between transmitting/receiving status and it can choose the desired frequency of either 400 MHz or 900 MHz. Also, Communication range is 50 m, if external antenna is used. EM4095 is a chip for RFID reader system with the carrier frequency of 125 KHz. This chip can implement the reader system by connecting a small number of components. And EM4100 was used for RFID system. EM4100 is read-only type. Atmega128 is used to control a wireless communication system and RFID system. We confirm that the system can communicate without error up to 50 m from sender. In the paper, the circuit diagram and operation program for CC1020 and RFID system are presented. The system used in the experiment is shown in pictures, and the data movement pattern of CC1020 is shown in the diagram, and the performance of each transmission method is presented.

An RFID middleware system that can process a large volume of RFID data became necessary with the advent of various kinds of ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose a method to process massive RFID data and provide it to client applications based on ALE-compliant RFID middleware systems. To distribute the requests to collect and process the RFID data from clients, the proposed system gathers the resource information for RFID middleware systems and processes the requests from clients according to the information.

Nowadays there are many studies and there's huge development about RFID and WSN which have great developmental potential to many kinds of applications. In particular, the healthcare field is expected to could be securing international competitive power in u-Healthcare and combined medical treatment industry and service. More and more real time application apply RFID and WSN technology to identify, data collect and locate objects. Wide deployment of RFID and WSN will generate an unprecedented volume of primitive data in a short time. Duplication and redundancy of primitive data will affect real time performance of application. Thus, emerging applications must filter primitive data and correlate them for complex pattern detection and transform them to events that provide meaningful, actionable information to end application. In this paper, we design a complex event processing system. This system will process RFID and WSN primitive data and event and perform data transformation. Integrate RFID and WSN system had applied each now in medical treatment through this study and efficient data transmission and management forecast that is possible.

To realize a ubiquitous logistics management system using the smart object of Electronic Product Code(EPC) enabled RFID tag, the design and management of RFID Information Service is very important. RFID Information Service searches, transfers and responds to the other's PML request, but Physical Markup Language (PML) data management between trading system elements has issues of standardization of PML data description and processing, and problems of data traffic and communication time overload because of the innate distributed characteristics. As a complementary study, this research analyzes the usage patterns and data types of PML. On that analysis we provide a design of the distributed RFID Information Service architecture of PML data management that is using DB middleware. Standalone and Integrated type of RFID IS were proposed.
