Abstract: An anti-theft proximity alert system that includes a wearable smart charm with a charm housing having a button for the wearer to manually cancel a triggered sensory alert sequence. The object monitor may include within its housing a motion detector that monitors the state of motion of the object monitor, and at least one operating instruction that adjusts a property of the transmitted proximity signal in response to a change in the object monitor's motion state. A silent alarm of vibration and/or light on the charm housing perceptible to the wearer of the smart charm may be activated prior to the activation of an auditory alarm.

Abstract: An object proximity alert system using motion detection having a smart alarm component for receiving a proximity signal from an associated object monitor component. The object monitor includes within its housing a motion detector that monitors the state of motion of the object monitor, and at least one operating instruction that adjusts a property of the transmitted proximity signal in response to a change in the object monitor's motion state. The smart alarm sets off a perceptible alarm through one or more sensory alert mechanisms when the separation distance between the smart charm and object monitor is determined to exceed a threshold alert criterion.

Abstract: An anti-theft system that has a first component that is an attractive and light-weight smart charm that uses an accessory attachment device to attach to a wearable accessory such as a bracelet or necklace, an item of clothing, or user. The system has a second component that is an object monitor for attaching or combining with a mobile object, such as a wallet or purse. The smart charm and object monitor communicate proximity information between each other, and set off a perceptible alarm through one or more sensory alert mechanisms when the separation distance between the smart charm and object monitor exceeds a threshold alert criterion.
