An RFID reader directly controls computer network applications on the basis
of information collected from an RFID tag. The RFID tag includes certain
designated fields that identify a destination computer system and/or
application program for data recovered from the RFID tag. The RFID reader
can then distribute the collected information in a format and to a
destination that is determined by the RFID tag, thereby eliminating the
need for intermediary software programs or human operators to make such
decisions about the distribution of information. This capability permits
RFID tag information to be automatically collected and distributed to
network applications for ultimate data processing and collection.
