碩士 === 大同大學 === 資訊工程學系(所) === 94 === Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which has been called one of the most important technologies in the 21st century, is a non-contact and automatic identification technology. Through the radio wave from the RFID reader, the information in electronic tags can be identified. RFID technology has been used widespread nowadays and has many applications in supply chain management, storage management, telemedicine, guiding system, etc. A mobile hand-held RFID-based inventory management system is proposed in this study. Differing from the manual inventory management method, the proposed system works on the platform of personal digital assistant (PDA) with RFID reader. On the strength of the ubiquitous wireless network and mobility of the PDA, users can use the system and manage the inventory on the go. The system identifies the electronic tags on the properties and checks the property information in the back-end database server by ubiquitous wireless network. As a result, users can easily manage the inventory everywhere at anytime. The system also provides a function to manage the back-end inventory and assigns different levels of access right according to different user authority. In the back-end database server, to prevent improper or illegal access, the server not only stores the inventory and user authority list, but also records the user procedures, including the user login and logout, the records of access database, and every modification of the tables. This thesis presents an integrated mobile RFID hand-held inventory management system to improve the efficiency of the manual management system and provide various functions to enhance the management and save the time of checking the property information.
