In the last few years, the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been widely used to help establish a context aware system even a ubiquitous computing system, for it can simplify many complex processes. Meanwhile, in architecture of the Internet of Things (IoT), RFID system based on Electronic Product Code (EPC) can provide basic data for different kinds of application easily. As for the advantages of RFID and EPC as well as the development of information service, this paper proposes a system architecture for smart awareness system which can be a specific application of smart IoT. This architecture is composed by intelligent agent, awareness server, and a middleware system. Agent is used to realize intelligent communication, awareness server is to aware the messages collect from users and context, middleware system is to integrate the devices deployed in the whole smart awareness system. Moreover, a prototype system is implanted in this paper to show how it works on application of smart shopping.
