Despite the vast potential opportunities of RFID technology in various industrial applications, deployment of RFID applications is rather limited to meet a large industrial demand in Korea. We conducted in-depth case study to organize the RFID applications in business model framework in order to provide practical insights for the development of innovative RFID applications. Throughout extensive searching for RFID applications in literature, web, news, and policy reports, we first classified passive RFID applications, mobile RFID applications, and active RFID applications. Value creation and implementation issues are compared and analyzed for each of RFID applications using Afuah and Tucci business model. This study can contribute in establishing future development of RFID technology, competitive business strategy, and government policy to stimulate Korea RFID industry.

Most of the known RFID applications are derived from RFID technology and its functionalities not business analysis or requirements, so that companies may not obtain real competitive edges by implementing RFID application systems. Developing successful RFID applications is one of the key elements for prevailing RFID use by industries. Research objective is to propose an effective methodology for developing RFID applications based on analyzing business processes. The approach is designed to figure out both technical and business requirements related to RFID applications based on BPR (Business process reengineering) and ISP (Information strategy planning) methodologies. To verify the effectiveness of our approach, we applied the proposed approach to real field cases. As RFID technologies get flourished, the proposed approach is expected to play a meaningful role as an effective tool for developing new RFID applications.

The concept of Smart-Homes is becoming more and more popular. It is anticipated that Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology will play a major role in such environments. We can find many previously proposed schemes that focus solely on: authentication between the RFID tags and readers, and user privacy protection from malicious readers. There has also been much talk of a very popular RFID application: a refrigerator/bookshelf that can scan and list out the details of its items on its display screen. Realizing such an application is not as straight forward as it seems to be, especially in securely deploying such RFID-based applications in a smart home environment. Therefore this paper describes some of the RFID-based applications that are applicable to smart home environments. We then identify their related privacy and security threats and security requirements and also propose a secure approach, where RFID-tagged consumer items, RFID-reader enabled appliances (e.g., refrigerators), and RFID-based applications would securely interact among one another. At the moment our approach is just a conceptual idea, but it sheds light on very important security issues related to RFID-based applications that are beneficial for consumers.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an established technology and has the potential, in a variety of applications, to significantly reduce cost and improve performance. As RFID-enabled applications will fulfill similar tasks across a range of processes adapted to use the data gained from RFID tags, they can be considered as software products derived from a common infrastructure and assets that capture specific ions in the domain. This paper discusses a framework that supports the development of RFID-enabled applications based on a business process family model (BPFM), explicitly representing both commonalities and variabilities. To develop this framework, common activities are identified from RFID-enabled applications and the variabilities in the common activities are analyzed in detail using variation point concepts. Through this framework, RFID data is preprocessed, and thus, RFID-enabled applications can be developed without having to process RFID data. Sharing a common model and reusing assets to deploy recurrent services may be considered an advantage in terms of economic significance and the overall product quality afforded.

기존의 RFID 장치 관련 응용들은 사용자가 RFID 태그 또는 리더를 제어 관리할 수 있도록 지원하는 인터페이스를 특정 장치 벤더에 종속적인 형태로 제공하고 있다. 또한 기존의 RFID 비즈니스 응용들은 RFID 리더 또는 미들웨어 시스템들이 제공하는 고유의 태그 이벤트 데이터 포맷에 의존적으로 구현되고 있다. 따라서 RFID 인프라 관리자들은 관리 대상 태그, 장치 및 시스템들에 대한 개별적인 제어 관리 규격을 반드시 이해하고 있어야 하는 어려움을 가진다. 이와 더불어 현재 대부분의 RFID 응용서비스들은 태그 아이템의 실시간 정보 가시화 및 비즈니스 스텝 추적과 같은 단순 정보 제공에 국한된 한계를 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 문제들을 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 벤더마다 상이한 인터페이스 규격을 가지는 이기종 RFID 장치, 미들웨어 및 다양한 유형의 응용들에 대한 통합적인 제어 관리 방법을 기술할 수 있는 RFID 서비스 관리 정책 모델을 제안한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 제안 모델을 기반으로 정의된 RFID 서비스 관리 정책이 특정 RFID 하부 인프라에 적응적으로 변환 및 처리되는 과정을 예제 시나리오를 통해 설명한다.

RFID applications are mostly associated with the timestamp when the events occur. For managing RFID data we need to design data modeling for RFID data to support monitoring and temporal queries. In this paper, we propose a temporal RFID data modeling to maintain the history of events and state changes and to monitor the states of RFID objects. This data modeling involves essential basic operations for RFID data to monitor the information of RFID objects and to support temporal queries. Filter operations can achieve better query performance and obtain efficient storage space usage. It is possible to adapt into different temporal business applications.

최근 전자태그(Radio Frequency Identification: RFID) 기술의 비약적 발전과 함께 RFID에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. RFID는 다양한 응용 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있으며, 응용 분야에 따라 다수의 리더기를 공간에 배치하게 된다. 이때, 만약 리더기가 잘못 배치되면 리더기간의 간섭이 발생하고, 이로 인해 RFID 인식율이 저하되는 문제가 발생하기도 한다. 따라서, 비용적인 측면이나 시스템 성능적인 측면에서 리더기의 배치는 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 임의의 도면이 주어졌을 때, 전 영역을 커버할 수 있는 최소 개수의 리더기 배치를 위한 RFID 센서 네트워크 설계 시스템을 제안한다.

Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) cards have been charming increasing attention. In addition, the RFID card ensures high durability and ease of maintenance because it has no built-in contact. And the benefits of RFID cards over contact cards are primarily due to the increased transaction speed and convenience brought to the cardholder. In this paper, we have developed a RFID card reader for the multi-purpose applications. The vicinity card reader with large-screen to display user ID and card number for a kinds of applications such as entrance and attendance management system is suitable for the use with EM card and TEMIC card, featuring easy to mount and reliable quality. The read range of the proposed RFID card reader is 70cm. This paper also addresses current RFID technology in terms of systems and provides a look forward its future applications in the aviation environment using RFID smart card.
