Object management
First Claim
1. A system for object management, the system comprising:
- an object monitoring system comprising a computer operable to;
determine whether a signal representing a presence of at least one object to be monitored has been received;
if a signal representing a presence of at least one object to be monitored has been received, determine whether a predetermined quantity of objects is present;
determine whether a signal representing a state of at least one object to be monitored has been received; and
if a signal representing a state of at least one object to be monitored has been received, determine whether at least one object has a predetermined state.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for object management. In certain implementations, object management includes determining whether a signal representing the presence of at least one object to be monitored has been received and determining whether a signal representing the state of at least one object to be monitored has been received. If a signal representing the presence of at least one object to be monitored has been received, a determination is made as to whether a predetermined quantity of objects is present. If a signal representing the state of at least one object to be monitored has been received, a determination is made as to whether at least one object has a predetermined state.

37. A system for object management, the system comprising:
an object monitoring system comprising;
a first sensor system, the first sensor system operable to sense a presence of at least one object to be monitored and to generate a signal representative thereof, a second sensor system, the second sensor system operable to sense a state of at least one object to be monitored and to generate a signal representative thereof, a computer coupled to the first sensor system and the second sensor system, the computer operable to;
determine whether a signal representing a presence of at least one object to be monitored has been received;
if a signal representing a presence of at least one object to be monitored has been received, determine whether a predetermined quantity of objects is present, wherein the predetermined quantity of objects is expressed a rule;
determine whether a signal representing a state of at least one object to be monitored has been received; and
if a signal representing a state of at least one object to be monitored has been received, determine whether at least one object has a predetermined state, wherein the predetermined object state is expressed as a rule, and a wireless communication device coupled to the computer, the wireless communication device operable to send data from and receive data for the computer. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
