SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING OBJECT ASSOCIATION BASED ON INTERACTION TIME USING A LOCATION TRACKING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for associating an object with a locale or a second object, comprisingan object identifier linked with an object for providing data identifying the object, anda location determining module for determining a location of the object, the location determining module includingan object location module for determining the location of the object based at least in part on the data, andan object association module for associating the object with a second object or locale, wherein the object association module is configured to determine based on the location of the object whether the object is in proximity to the second object or the locale for a time period greater than or equal to a threshold time, and if the time period that the object is in proximity to the second object or the locale is greater than or equal to the threshold time, the object association module is configured to create an association between the object and the second object or the locale.

Abstract
A system is provided for associating an object with a locale or a second object based on interaction time. The system includes and object identifier linked with an object for providing data identifying the object and a location determining module for determining the location of the object. The location determining modules includes an object location module for determining the location of the object based at least in part on the data and an object association module for associating the object with a second object or locale. The object association module is configured to determine whether the object is in proximity to the second object or the locale for a time period greater than or equal to a threshold time and create an associating between the object and the second object or the locale.

21. A method for associating an object with a locale or a second object, comprising:
-
providing, on an object identifier linked with an object, data identifying the object, determining, at an object location module, a location of the object based at least in part on the data identifying the object, and creating, at an object association module, an association between the object and a second object or locale based on the location of the object and whether the object is in proximity to the second object or the locale for a time period greater than or equal to a threshold time. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
