  • Patent number: 11598882
    Abstract: This problem has been addressed before, but the way of doing so is flawed and incomplete. Only larger objects can be tracked, neglecting items such as glasses, TV remotes, and headphones. Some also solely use Bluetooth tracking, which can be quick and precise, but is unreliable. Items lost far away from people with Bluetooth active their phone cannot be found using this method. This is not an option for most small, easily misplaced items. Various embodiments of the device (in one case using the name SeekR) allow for tracking of all these difficult-to-keep-track-of items. The device's small size allows it to attach to all of these items that existing solutions cannot, e.g., on the frame of glasses, e.g., the bridge, temple and/or temple tips.
