RFID Service Framework with Plug-in Technology on Devices

Abstract

Recently, the employment of RFID technology is becoming more widely. Especially, as smart devices become much smaller and more powerful, mobile RFID application domain grows up in high speed. And mobile or mini-type RFID devices are applied for people much more than before. However there lack of platform to support for these RFID device of miniaturization which have to work for enterprise information system. For the purpose of overcoming the diversity of device hardware feature, unreachable of some equipment in execrable environment and difference in each RFID service requirements, this paper focuses on the architecture and implementation of RFID services framework on mobile or mini-type devices based on plug-in technology, puts forward a component based, light-weight, flexible, scalable, manageable, and transplantable platform. We resort to OSGi framework to implement our design. Thus the devices of venders can be readily applied and integrated into application and the integration businessmen can deploy the RFID infrastructure continentally.
