Abstract
A method, a system and a device for monitoring the handling of an object. The method includes the steps of attaching a device to said object, sensing variations of light radiation transmitted between said device and a first external unit arranged outside the proximity of said object,sensing variations of radio waves transmitted between said device and a second external unit arranged outside the proximity of said object, determining handling events of said object on the basis of a combination of said variations of light radiation and said variations of radio waves,and signaling information from said device relating to said handling events.
Claims26
A method for monitoring the handling of an object, comprising:
- attaching a device to said object,
- detecting variations of light radiation transmitted between said device and an external light unit arranged outside the proximity of said object,
- detecting variations of radio waves transmitted between said device and an external radio unit arranged outside the proximity of said object,
- determining handling event(-s) of said object on the basis of a combination of said variations of light radiation and said variations of radio waves,
- signaling information from said device relating to said handling event(-s).

A system for monitoring the handling of an object, comprising:
- a device firmly attachable to said object comprising at least one signaling means arranged to communicate information,
- at least one light sensitive detector arranged to detect variations of light radiation transmitted between said device and an external light unit,
- at least one radio receiver arranged to detect variations of radio waves transmitted between said device and an external radio unit,
- analyzing means arranged to determine handling event(-s) of said object based on a combination of said light variations and said radio variations, and
- means to electronically connect said light sensitive detector, radio receiver, analyzing means, and signaling means.

A device for monitoring the handling of an object comprising:
- said device is firmly attachable to said object and comprises
- at least one light sensitive detector arranged to detect variations of ambient light radiation,
- at least one radio receiver arranged to detect variations of ambient radio waves,
- analyzing means arranged to determine handling event(-s) of said object basis on a combination of said light variations and said radio variations, and
- at least one signaling means arranged to communicate information relating to said handling event(-s).
