MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647092722 A) filed by Qualcomm Incorporated on July 30, 2026, for Item Inventory Determination Using Confidence-Based Radio Frequency Identification Ranging.
Inventors include Hiscock, Paul Dominic; Burke, Joseph Patrick; and Agrawal, Sumit.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for wireless communications. For example, a process can include receiving, by a wireless communication device, a plurality of backscatter signals from a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, wherein each backscatter signal comprises a reflection of a respective RFID ranging signal. An estimated distance from the wireless communication device to the RFID tag can be determined, using a respective RFID measurement associated with each backscatter signal of the plurality of backscatter signals. The estimated distance can be compared to a configured threshold distance that is indicative of a volume associated with a container. A container content item inventory indicative of one or more items included within the volume associated with the container can be determined, wherein an item associated with the RFID tag is included in the container content item inventory based on the estimated distance being less than or equal to the configured threshold distance.
