Abstract: A system for finding and locating items, including an electronic tag adapted to be attached to the item, a tag reading device for reading the electronic tag, and a server. The server is adapted to communicate with the tag reading device via network connections. The tag reading device is adapted to search for and locate items within a predetermined range, and to determine the location information of the item according to the detected signal intensity sent by the electronic tag on the item. The location information is sent through the network connection to the server, and the server operates in the database and adds the location information on the original data format of the database. The present invention can effectively find items that are needed among a lot of items, and can determine the distance and position of the items according to parameters like signal strength. Such location information can be added to the inventory results and are added without affecting the original data format used by the client.
