Abstract

A RFID is an automatic data collection system based on the radio frequency and is the key technology of ubiquitous computing environments. Since the locations of objects attached by RFID tags can be acquired by readers, it is possible to query the locations of tags. To query tags efficiently, the data of RFID tags should be modeled and indexed. However, since the location information of tags, the predicates of queries, are differ from coordinates of moving objects, it is difficult to model tags under the concept of moving objects, In this paper, we propose the location model of tags to represents the trajectories of tags. The location model is composed of the set and graph based approaches.
