This library provides functionality to track the location of RFID tags based on read events received from various RFID readers. It uses a configuration (specified programmatically, not as a separate file) to map reader and antenna combinations to physical locations. The core class is the LocationEventEngine.
- Location Tracking: Determines the location of RFID tags based on read events and pre-configured location definitions.
- Event-Driven: Delivers location events via a listener interface when a tag's location is determined.
- Configurable: Allows customization of window lengths and RSSI thresholds for location determination.
- Close Range Detection: Supports detection of tags in very close proximity to antennas.
- Single Read Sensitivity: Allows for immediate location events based on a single read.
This library can be integrated into your Java/Kotlin project as follows:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone <repository_url>
Replace
<repository_url>with the actual repository URL. -
Include in your project: Add the library to your project's dependencies. The method to do this depends on your build system.
The following steps outline how to use the library:
-
Create an instance of the
LocationEventEngineclass:Java:
import com.zebra.LocationEventEngine; import com.zebra.Location; import com.zebra.LocationEventListener; import com.zebra.LocationEvent; LocationEventEngine engine = new LocationEventEngine();
Kotlin:
import com.zebra.LocationEventEngine import com.zebra.Location import com.zebra.LocationEventListener import com.zebra.LocationEvent val engine = LocationEventEngine()
-
Define Locations: Create
Locationobjects representing the physical locations of your RFID readers and antennas.Java:
import com.zebra.Location; // Add this import! Location location1 = new Location("reader1", 1, "Entrance", false, false); // readerID, antennaID, friendlyName, isCloseRange, isSingleRead Location location2 = new Location("reader2", 2, "Exit", true, false); // readerID, antennaID, friendlyName, isCloseRange, isSingleRead Location location3 = new Location("reader3", 1, "Assembly Line", false, true); // Single read example engine.addLocation(location1); engine.addLocation(location2); engine.addLocation(location3);
Kotlin:
import com.zebra.Location // Add this import! val location1 = Location("reader1", 1, "Entrance", false, false) val location2 = Location("reader2", 2, "Exit", true, false) val location3 = Location("reader3", 1, "Assembly Line", false, true) // Single read example engine.addLocation(location1) engine.addLocation(location2) engine.addLocation(location3)
Property Description readerIDThe unique identifier of the RFID reader. antennaIDThe ID of the antenna connected to the reader. friendlyNameA human-readable name for the location. isCloseRangeIf true, a tag must be very close to the antenna for the location to trigger. TheeventTypein theLocationEventwill be set to "CloseRange".isSingleReadIf true, a single read from this location is sufficient to trigger a location event. Iffalse, multiple reads are needed. -
Register a Location Event Listener: Implement the
LocationEventListenerinterface to receive location events.Java:
import com.zebra.LocationEventListener; import com.zebra.LocationEvent; engine.registerLocationEventListener(new LocationEventListener() { @Override public void locationEvent(LocationEvent event) { System.out.println("Location Event: Tag " + event.getTagId() + " at " + event.getReaderName() + ":" + event.getAntennaId() + " Event Type: " + event.getEventType()); } });
Kotlin:
import com.zebra.LocationEventListener import com.zebra.LocationEvent engine.registerLocationEventListener(object : LocationEventListener { override fun locationEvent(event: LocationEvent) { println("Location Event: Tag ${event.tagId} at ${event.readerName}:${event.antennaId} Event Type: ${event.eventType}") } })
-
Send Tag Events: Provide the
LocationEventEnginewith tag data.Java:
engine.tagEvent("tag123", System.currentTimeMillis(), -70, "reader1", 1, 5); // tagID, timestamp, rssi, readerName, antennaID, readCount engine.tagEvent("tag123", System.currentTimeMillis(), -60, "reader2", 2, 10); // Example of the tag moving to reader2 engine.tagEvent("tag456", System.currentTimeMillis(), -50, "reader3", 1, 1); // Tag triggered a single read location
Kotlin:
engine.tagEvent("tag123", System.currentTimeMillis(), -70, "reader1", 1, 5) // tagID, timestamp, rssi, readerName, antennaID, readCount engine.tagEvent("tag123", System.currentTimeMillis(), -60, "reader2", 2, 10) // Example of the tag moving to reader2 engine.tagEvent("tag456", System.currentTimeMillis(), -50, "reader3", 1, 1) // Tag triggered a single read location
tagEventmethod:tagEvent(String tagID, long timestamp, int rssi, String readerName, int antennaID, int readCount)Parameter Description tagIDThe unique identifier of the RFID tag. timestampThe timestamp of the tag read event (in milliseconds). rssiThe Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of the read. readerNameThe ID of the reader that last read the tag (typically reader MAC) antennaIDThe ID of the antenna on the reader that last read the tag. readCountThe number of times the tag has been read.
The LocationEventEngine provides the following configuration options:
-
setMinimumWindowLength(int minimumWindowLength): Sets the minimum time (in milliseconds) required for a location to be considered valid. Defaults to a reasonable value if not set. A longer time will filter out short, transient reads. -
setWindowLength(int windowLength): Sets the time window (in milliseconds) used to analyze read events for location determination. A larger window considers a longer history of reads. Defaults to a reasonable value if not set. -
setCloseRangeReadRSSI(int closeRangeReadRSSI): Sets the RSSI threshold for determining if a tag is in close range. Tags with an RSSI greater than this value are considered to be in close range ifisCloseRangeis true for the antenna. Defaults to a reasonable value if not set. -
setLocationChangeResistance(int locationChangeResistance): Allows the algorithm to be adjusted to make it more or less sensitive to triggering a location change update. Valid values are 1-99. 1 being the most sensitive and 99 being the least sensitive. Default:67. -
setLocationChangeResistanceRSSI(int locationChangeResistanceRSSI): Similar to the above but pertains specifically to how RSSI values are treated. Valid values are 1-99 . 1 being the most sensitive and 99 being the least sensitive. Default:10.
Example:
Java:
engine.setMinimumWindowLength(500); // 500 milliseconds
engine.setWindowLength(2000); // 2 seconds
engine.setCloseRangeReadRSSI(-40); // -40 dBm
engine.setLocationChangeResistance(67);
engine.setLocationChangeResistanceRSSI(10);Kotlin:
engine.minimumWindowLength = 500 // 500 milliseconds
engine.windowLength = 2000 // 2 seconds
engine.closeRangeReadRSSI = -40 // -40 dBm
engine.locationChangeResistance = 67;
engine.locationChangeResistanceRSSI = 10;The LocationEvent object is delivered to the registered listener when a location event is detected. It contains the following information:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
tagId |
The ID of the tag. |
timestamp |
The timestamp of the event. |
readerName |
The name of the reader. |
antennaId |
The ID of the antenna. |
friendlyName |
The friendly name associated with the location. (Populated from the Location object.) |
dwellTime |
The amount of time the tag has been detected at the location. |
eventType |
The type of event. Can be "Normal" (the default) or "CloseRange" if close range is detected. |
