Using rfid functions as a basis for object pedigree authentication and social media interaction regarding the object

Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for creating an electronic system for tracking and managing the ownership and use of an object, wherein an RFID chip is embedded into an object, such as a musical instrument, wherein an application on a mobile device with NFC chip reading technology enables the mobile device to scan the RFID chip and launch an application that accesses a cloud-based database, the database storing information regarding the device such as pedigree and past ownership, wherein a user may post pictures, videos or commentary regarding the object, wherein the RFID chip may also be used as an anti-theft device allowing any nearby mobile device to establish contact with the RFID chip and transmit a location to the database when activated, and wherein the application allows users to “follow” the device and make social media posts.
