Abstract
Methods and apparatus for interacting with a tag in a radio target area. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring temperature and other environmental conditions in a storage area and displaying environmental conditions as digital content in a user interactive interface based upon energy levels received from a radio target area and content from a sensor generating digital content.
Claims20
A method for interacting with a tag in a storage area, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) generating positional coordinates for a Smart Device based upon wireless communication between the Smart Device and a reference point transceiver;
- b) establishing a radio target area for an energy receiving sensor, said radio target area comprising a portion of the storage area;
- c) receiving energy into the energy receiving sensor from the radio target area;
- d) generating a digital representation of the energy received into the energy receiving sensor at an instance in time;
- e) generating positional coordinates for a tag collocated with an item in the radio target area at the instance in time;
- f) associating digital content with the tag;
- g) determining that the Smart Device has access rights to the digital content;
- h) generating a user interactive interface comprising a digital representation of the energy received into the energy receiving sensor at the instance in time and a dynamic portion representative of the tag;
- i) receiving a user input into the dynamic portion of the user interactive interface;
- and
- j) based upon the user input received into the dynamic portion of the user interactive interface, displaying the digital content in the user interactive interface.
