Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining data of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag in a virtual read zone of a non-RFID enabled device. The method comprises determining (505) a location of the non-RFID enabled device, determining (510) a virtual read zone of the non-RFID enabled device using at least the location of the non-RFID enabled device, identifying (515) at least one fixed reader device having an RFID read zone that at least partially includes the virtual read zone, reading (520) data of the RFID tag using the at least one fixed reader device, and transmitting (525) the data of the RFID tag from the at least one fixed reader device to the non-RFID enabled device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus updates a central plan for an area based on the location of a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) readers by identifying (210) the location of each of the RFID readers using an associated location mechanism. A read zone coverage area for each of the RFID readers is identified (220). The central plan is updated (230) with the position and the read zone coverage area relative to the position for each of the RFID readers. A status of read zone coverage is determined (240) for the area based on the read zone coverage areas on the central plan for all of the RFID readers in the plurality of RFID readers, wherein a report is provided (250) based on the status of read zone coverage for the area.
