Abstract
In one general aspect, a first location associated with a first object is identified. A proximity of the first object and a second object are determined based, at least in part, on the first location. A rule associated with the first object and the second object is identified. A violation of the rule is determined based, at least in part, on the proximity of the first object and the second object.
Claims28
A method for rule-based management of objects, the method comprising:
- identifying a first location associated with a first object;
- determining a proximity of the first object and a second object based, at least in part, on the first location;
- identifying a rule associated with the first object and the second object;
- and
- determining a violation of the rule based, at least in part, on the proximity of the first object and the second object.
An article comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions for causing data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a change in location of a first object;
- identifying a rule associated with the first object in response to the change in condition;
- identifying at least one additional object associated with the first object based, at least in part, on the rule;
- determining a proximity of the first object and the at least one additional object;
- and
- determining a violation of the rule based, at least in part, on the proximity of the first object and the at least one additional object.
A method for managing objects, comprising identifying a change in location of a first object;
- identifying a rule associated with the first object in response to the change in condition;
- identifying a proximity threshold using the rule;
- identifying a second object associated with the first object based, at least in part, on the rule;
- determining a first location of the first object and a second location of the second object;
- determining a distance between a the first object and the second object;
- comparing the distance between a the first object and the second object to the proximity threshold a violation;
- and
- automatically communicating an alert in response to the distance violating the proximity threshold.
