  • Patent number: 11486956
    Abstract: An object monitoring system including a plurality of location beacons, each location beacon being configured to generate a location broadcast message indicative of a beacon location and a tag associated with a respective object in use. The includes a tag memory configured to store object rules, a tag transceiver configured to transmit or receive messages and a tag processing device configured to determine context data at least partially indicative of a tag context by at least one of determining a tag location in accordance with at least one location broadcast message received via the tag transceiver from at least one of a plurality of location beacons and using stored context data, use the object rules and the context data to identify a trigger event, determine an action associated with the trigger event and cause the action to be performed.

  • Publication number: 20220269920
    Abstract: An object monitoring system including a plurality of tags, each tag being associated with a respective object in use and including a tag transceiver configured to transmit or receive messages and a tag processing device. The tag processing device is configured to determine context data indicative of a context associated with the object and/or other objects and generate tag history data indicative of an object type identifier indicative of an object type of the respective object and at least some context data for a time period. One or more processing devices are configured to analyse tag history data so that results of the analysis can be used to predict trigger events.
