RFID is a tracking technology used to identify and authenticate tags that are applied to any product, individual or animal. Radio frequency Identification and Detection is a general term used for technologies that make use of radio waves in order to identify objects and people.
 
Introduction to RFID
Purpose of Radio frequency Identification and Detection system is to facilitate data transmission through the portable device known as tag that is read with the help of RFID reader; and process it as per the needs of an application. Information transmitted with the help of tag offers location or identification along with other specifics of product tagged – purchase date, color, and price. Typical RFID tag includes microchip with radio antenna, mounted on substrate.
 
The RFID tags are configured to respond and receive signals from an RFID transceiver. This allows tags to be read from a distance, unlike other forms of authentication technology. The RFID system has gained wide acceptance in businesses, and is gradually replacing the barcode system.
How RFID Works
Basic RFID consists of an antenna, transceiver and transponder. To understand the working of a typical RFID system, check the following animation.
Antenna emits the radio signals to activate tag and to read as well as write information to it. Reader emits the radio waves, ranging from one to 100 inches, on the basis of used radio frequency and power output. While passing through electronic magnetic zone, RFID tag detects activation signals of readers.
  
                              
 
Powered by its internal battery or by the reader signals, the tag sends radio waves back to the reader. Reader receives these waves and identifies the frequency to generate a unique ID. Reader then decodes data encoded in integrated circuit of tags and transmits it to the computers for use.

I HAV DONE SUCH DESIGN BEFOR

Submitted by ucontroller on Thu, 23/02/2012 - 20:27.

I HAV DONE SUCH DESIGN BEFOR USING JAVA AND  MYSQL FOR D DATABASE , AND ALSO I DID DAT RECENTLY USING C#.NET AND ACCESS. THEY ARE APIs IN JAVA DAT ALOWS U TO READ YOUR RFID READER BCOS IS AN HID DEVICES. ALL YOU HAV TO DO IS TO FIRST REGISTER ALL D CODES FROM EACH TAGS , TRHEN MAP THEM TO EACH STAFF AND POSITION IN A TABLE OT FLAT FILE OR IN XML FORMAT.

SO WHENEVA A TAG IS BROUGHT CLOSE TO  THE READER , CODE IS TAKEN TO THE APPLICATION  AND D APP WIL COMPARE THE RED CODE WITH THE POSITION MAPPED IN D DATABASE OR THE FLAT FILE. SIMILARLY  , I DID IT WITH C SHARP DOT NET . PRETTY SIMPLE AND EASY
