Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is generic term for technologies employing radio waves for detecting objects. We describe our approach with recent methodologies in RFID systems sighting its commercial ventures as it is the most researched and rapidly emerging technologies. RFID has wide application in payment systems, access control and asset tracking as the companies are using the technology's potential in manufacturing and other areas. A proposed software framework for RFID integrated mobile phones with considerable changes in the system has been explained in the paper. Installation of the operating system with a driver to run RFID reader and involvement of Java Platform ME package for support in programming for RFID reader. A system service will continuously watch over the RFID hardware for events. Standalone application made in Java can use and control the reader. Exemplary future applications and systems based on RFID and other technologies integrated with RFID mobile phones are proposed in this paper. We have discussed about applications, problems being faced by such RFID systems & their limitations in other fields in the current era. The commercial scope in the field of RFID manufacturing and research has been discussed with its integration with current technologies. Some hardware and software limitations that restrict its feasibility in some fields like Mobile Phone based RFID technologies are discussed with some future enhancements in this area.
