Abstract

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for assigning priority to antennae are disclosed. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the proximity of an object (e.g., in relation to one or more of a plurality of predetermined locations) is determined. Sensors can be utilized to provide information regarding the proximity of the objects. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a priority order can be assigned to the reader antennae based on the proximity information or other information regarding the location and other characteristics of the objects and/or their environment. A polling sequence for reading the reader antennae (200a, 200b) can be determined according to the priority order, based on the proximity information or other information regarding the location and other characteristics of the objects and/or their environment. A polling sequence for reading the reader antennae (200a, 200b) can be determined according to the priority order.
