隨著RFID技術的發展，其相關應用也越來越普遍，其中最常見的包括物流管理、安全監控等相關領域。RFID最大的特性在於，每個標籤 (TAG) 都有一個唯一的編號，藉由讀取器將標籤編號傳到後端應用伺服器即可對目標物進行辨識。 本研究在後端應用伺服器上提出主從式架構，除了可以方便使用者對環境的監控管理之外，也可以藉由網際網路將RFID資訊傳到遠端的伺服器上，讓遠端的伺服器可以同時監管多個RFID系統。系統中，還整合地理資訊系統 (GIS) 與開發管理平台，讓使用者可以針對RFID資訊進行管理與決策分析。此外結合手持式裝置 (PDA) 的使用，讓使用者到現地去進行探查、維護的工作可以更加便利。 在系統整合的資料同步上，本研究改用自行開發的常駐程式來取代利用ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity，開放式資料庫連接介面) 的方式存取資料庫；透過這樣的方式，可以讓嵌入式資料庫的選擇不必受限於ODBC的支援性，讓採用各種嵌入式作業系統的手持式裝置 (PDA)，例如：Windows Mobile、Linux等，都可以結合到系統上。除此之外，手持式裝置 (PDA) 只需要把需求傳送到伺服器上，大部分運算的工作都交由伺服器處理，可以減輕手持式裝置 (PDA) 的負擔。 With rapid development of the RFID technology, its applications are becoming even more widespread, especially in logistics management and security monitoring. One of the key features of the RFID is that each tag has a unique number, and thus one can pass it to a back-end application server through RFID reader for identification of the object. In this study, we propose a master-slave architecture on the back-end application server. It allows users to manage the RFID system conveniently, and send the RFID data to a remote server via Internet for monitoring a number of RFID systems simultaneously. The system also integrates the geographic information system (GIS) for users to manage and to analysis the received RFID data. In addition, by using the PDA device, the user can efficiently explore and maintain RFID system. As for data synchronization, this study uses self-developed program instead of accessing database through ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity). Through this way, the choice of embedded database could not confine the support of ODBC, so that the PDA device with different embedded operating systems, such as Windows Mobile, Linux, can be integrated into the system. In addition, the PDA device needs only to send the query to the server, most of the work of computing are all dealt by the server, thus it can reduce the computing load of a PDA device.
