  • Patent number: 10945092
    Abstract: A system includes: first tags configured to organize activities regarding respective physical objects, each of the first tags including at least a first processor, a first memory, a sensor, an input device, an output device, a wireless communication component, and a first activity component operated using the first processor and the first memory to adapt a behavior of the respective first tag; and a processing device configured to receive first wireless signals from at least some of the first tags, the processing device including a second processor, a second memory, and a second activity component operated using the second processor and the second memory to determine at least presence, proximity, and movement of the first tags based on the first wireless signals.

  • Patent number: 10911899
    Abstract: A method includes: sending, by a first processing device, a first message including an instruction to a first tag to collect first data from at least one device, the first tag coupled to a first physical object for organizing the first physical object; receiving, by the first processing device, a second message from the first tag, the second message including the first data; obtaining, by the first processing device, a first descriptor as being associated with the first data; and presenting, by the first processing device, at least the first descriptor to a user as an indication to a location of the first physical object.

  • Patent number: 10783420
    Abstract: A tag includes: a housing configured for coupling the tag to a physical object to organize activities regarding the physical object; and coupled to the housing: a wireless communication component; circuitry electrically coupled to the wireless communication component, the circuitry having a reset port and a switch port; a power source electrically coupled to the wireless communication component and the circuitry; a first switch between the power source and the reset port; a second switch between the reset port and ground, the second switch controlled by the switch port; and a capacitor between the reset port and the ground.

  • Patent number: 10448211
    Abstract: A method includes: receiving, by a first tag and from a second tag, a first message including an identifier of the second tag, the first and second tags configured for coupling to respective first and second physical objects to organize activities; identifying, by the first tag and based on a proximity measure, the second tag for a pairing process to register the second tag as a child tag of the first tag; and providing, by the first tag, a second message with the identifier to a processing device configured to register the second tag as the child tag of the first tag.
