Object location tracking using mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A mobile communications device that includes a processor and memory, the processor executing instructions to:
- receive object identification information that uniquely identifies an object;
communicate from a location tracking system to wirelessly communicate location information and the object identification information to a data storage system that is not part of the mobile communication device;
the location information being associated with the object identification information, wherein the object identification information is usable to make additional information associated with the object available.

Abstract
An object location tracking system may include an object, a mobile communication device, and a data storage system. The object may include a wireless short range communication system that wirelessly transmits object identification information over a short range that uniquely identifies the object. The mobile communication device may have a location detection system that generates location information indicative of the location of the wireless communication device; a wireless short range communication system that wirelessly receives the object identification information from the object when the object is in close proximity to the mobile communication device; and a wireless data communication system that wirelessly communicates the location information and the object identification information to a data storage system. The data storage system may receive and store the location information and the object identification from the wireless data communication system in the mobile communication device.
