Abstract
A method includes pairing at least two tags and attaching each one of the at least two tags to objects; a computer device sensing the proximity of each tagged object; and the computer device issuing alerts depending on the sensed proximity of each tagged object, wherein a first alert is triggered when one of the tagged objects leaves a secured area without a corresponding paired tagged object.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- pairing at least two tags and attaching each one of the at least two tags to objects;
- a computer device sensing the proximity of each tagged object;
- and
- the computer device issuing alerts depending on the sensed proximity of each tagged object, wherein a first alert is triggered when one of the tagged objects leaves a secured area without a corresponding paired tagged object.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- a pairing module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to pair at least two tags and attaching each one of the at least two tags to objects;
- a sensing module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to sense the proximity of each tagged object;
- and
- an alert module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to issue alerts depending on the sensed proximity of each tagged object, wherein a first alert is triggered when one of the tagged objects leaves a secured area without a corresponding paired tagged object.
2 more elements
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable, tangible storage medium;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to pair at least two tags and attaching each one of the at least two tags to objects;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to determine sense the proximity of each tagged object;
- and
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to issue alerts depending on the sensed proximity of each tagged object, wherein a first alert is triggered when one of the tagged objects leaves a secured area without a corresponding paired tagged object.
