RFID tags to provide a relatively low power and power conserving wireless
communication system to dynamically and automatically transfer all
preselected data developed in designated digital devices to a centralized
data processing system. Inclusion, in the target mobile wireless devices
from which data is to be transferred, of an RFID tag, preferably passive,
to minimize power consumption that is conventionally recognizable by a
short range RF transceiver in the computer system to which data is to be
transferred. Thus, each mobile wireless device being tracked includes a
short range RFID tag, a short range RF transceiver and storage means for
the digital data developed by the device that is to be transferred. The
data processing system to which the transfer is to be made should include
a short range RF transceiver for identifying all RFID tags within this
short range boundary; and means, responsive to the system RF transceiver
identifying the RFID tag in the mobile wireless device within said short
range boundary, for transmitting a signal to said mobile device to
trigger the mobile device transceiver to transmit stored digital data to
the data processing system.
