Remote control of article based on article authentication

A system for controlling an article coupled with a communication system including a sensor for detecting an interaction event with the article, the system comprising:

• a microcontroller coupled with the sensor, and a communication interface coupled with the microcontroller;
• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a plurality of interaction events at a communication system coupled with an article, wherein the communication system comprises a microcontroller comprising a communication interface coupled with a sensor;
• detecting a first interaction event with the article at a first geographic location, wherein the first interaction event triggers a communication with the article to receive an article identifier and a status of the article associated with the first interaction event, the status of the article being associated with one or more states of the article that are associated with detection of whether contents of the article are below a threshold;
• detecting a second interaction event with the article at a second geographic location remote from the first interaction event, wherein the second interaction event includes initiation of the detection of the one or more states of the article that triggers a communication indicating a remedial action associated with the one or more states to resolve the first trigger event and the contents being below the threshold;
• authenticating, at a second geographic location, the article through the article identifier based on an authentication policy associated with the first geographic location of the interaction event;
• and
• permitting remote control of the article at the second geographic location in accordance with the remedial action based on the authentication of the article identifier, wherein the remote control at the second geographic location includes returning the contents of the article above the threshold and wherein the remedial action is automatically triggered based on the authentication policy.
