Electronic sensor system for monitoring activity of objects
First Claim
1. An electronic sensor system for monitoring activity of an object comprising:
- a central electronic unit means;
at least one transponder means being interactive with said central electronic unit means;
wherein said central electronic unit means exchanges encoded activity information through radio frequencies with the transponder means; and
wherein said transponder means is associated with the object; and
an alarm means being interactive with said central electronic unit means, wherein said central electronic unit directs said alarm means to emit an alarm upon receipt of selected encoded activity information from the transponder means;
wherein said transponder means has a stand-by mode and an active phase mode, said transponder means being set in stand-by mode for operation of the system, and said central electronic unit means selectively corresponding with the transponder means and controlling said stand-by mode and said active phase mode of said transponder means.

Abstract
An electronic sensor system for monitoring activity of objects according to the invention is of the type includes a central electronic unit exchanging encoded information through radio frequencies with at least one transponder, associated with an object to be monitored, in order to check for activity, such as its presence in a defined volume, and emitting an alarm when said encoded information received from the transponder directs the central electronic unit to start the alarm. The central electronic unit selectively corresponds with each transponder in the system and controls whether the transponder operates in stand-by mode or an active phase mode.
