System, software application and method of advanced interaction with transportable containers

A system of advanced interaction with transportable containers, such as suitcases, trolleys, trunks, backpacks, or crates, the system comprising:

• a plurality of transportable containers, each one of said containers being equipped with a respective transponder which carries at least one corresponding identification code, each one of said transponders allowing polling by means of a contactless information transmission technology, such as RFID, NFC, or similar technologies, for communication at least of the corresponding said identification code;
• a remote processing unit, suitable for the management of a central data bank, which contains information related to said transportable containers and to their association with the corresponding said identification codes;
• and
• a software application adapted to be run on a mobile device, said application comprising at least one polling module for polling said transponders, which is configured at least to acquire the respective said identification code, and at least one transceiver module, configured to establish a communication with said data bank and/or said unit, at least for the exchange of information related to said container that corresponds to the identification code acquired by said polling module.

A method of advanced interaction with transportable containers, the method including the following steps:

• a. providing a plurality of transportable containers,
• b. equipping each one of said containers with a respective transponder which carries at least one corresponding identification code, each one of said transponders allowing polling using a contactless information transmission technology, such as RFID, NFC, or similar technologies, for the communication at least of the corresponding said identification code,
• c. providing a central data bank which contains information related to said transportable containers and to their association with the corresponding said identification codes, and
• d. providing at least one software application adapted to be run on a mobile device, said application comprising at least one module for polling said transponders, which is configured at least to acquire the respective said identification code, and at least one transceiver module, which is configured to establish a communication with said data bank and/or a unit adapted to manage said data bank, at least for the exchange of information related to said container which corresponds to the identification code acquired by the polling module.
