Abstract

An inventory management tracking control system includes a first event processor operative to receive a video data signal from at least one video capturing device, the video data signal including an archive attribute signal, relating an item being tracked; reader circuitry operative to generate an event attribute signal in response to information provided by a radio frequency identification tag; and a second event processor operative to adjust the image characteristics of the video data signal in response to the event attribute, the second event processor further operative to adjust the event attribute subsequent to the time the event attribute is received. An inventory management control method includes receiving video image data from at least one video capturing device; receiving an archive attribute corresponding to the received video image data; receiving an event attribute corresponding to an occurrence of an event of interest; and adjusting the characteristics of the video image data in response to an event attribute.
