Abstract
A system (10) for coordinating the use of objects together can include a tag (11) on a first object (18), a tag (19) on at least a second object (9), and a portable communication device (12) having a processor. The processor is preferably programmed to read information from the tag on the first object and from the tag on at least the second object, retrieve data (15) associated with the first object and at least the second object, and retrieve rules (14) relating to the use of the first object the second object. The rules can be fashion, food, drug or other coordination rules. The processor can also be programmed to apply the rules and provide feedback to the individual. The portable communication device can further include a bar code scanning device or alternatively a transceiver for reading information from RFIDs.
