    See this article from github discussing libusb. Like the device described in this post, if your RFID reader emulates a keyboard, you will probably have to replace its driver with one that allows exclusive access (winusb) and use libusb to control it. There is probably no Qt-level direct support for USB like there is for serial ports.

    my app need read in background
    You can either write a Windows service or implement a normal program with a hidden interface. You can use Qt's QLocalSocket to connect your client and server apps to transmit RFID information.
