Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for tracking an object using RFID tags in combination with a wireless communication device. A radio frequency module is included for modifying a wireless device to both receive and send RF signals. Typically, the wireless device is a cell phone or smart phone. The module enables the wireless device to read identifying information from an RF signal and displaying such to a user. The system presents an inexpensive method of providing an RFID reader for tracking objects.
