Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of identifying an identification (ID) tag. The method includes using a movable reader to determine a presence of an ID tag, an absence of the ID tag and that the ID tag has moved. The method further includes using the movable reader to determine a localization probability score of the ID tag, and, based on the localization probability score, adjust the movable reader's determination of the presence of the ID tag.

Abstract: In a method for notifying an owner or other rightful user of a mobile device of a misplaced mobile device, a computer receives social networking information about the rightful user of the mobile device. The computer receives, from the mobile device, a set of contextual information that is associated with the mobile device. The computer determines, based on the set of contextual information, whether the mobile device has been misplaced. In response to the computer determining that the mobile device has been misplaced, the computer dynamically identifies, based on the set of contextual information and on the social networking information, one or more contacts associated with the rightful user. In response to the computer determining that the mobile device has been misplaced, the computer sends a notification message to the identified one or more contacts. The notification message indicates that the rightful user's mobile device has been misplaced.
