1. A controller comprising:
- a plurality of message handlers, each message handler configured to receive a code from a particular reader selected from a plurality of readers distributed about a frame of reference and each reader and message handler coupled to a communication network, the message handler configured to generate a job using the code, the code received using a tag in communication with the particular reader;
a memory configured to store at least one hash table, the at least one hash table corresponding to a rule concerning at least one of movement of the tag, a policy for the frame of reference, and a policy for the tag; and
a processor configured to execute a set of instructions to perform the job using the at least one hash table and the code.

Abstract
A network including a processor and a plurality of signposts and readers are configured to implement a set of rules to monitor movement and location of a tagged asset. A rule can be represented by a hash table and can relate to tag movement, a facility attribute, or an asset protection policy.

9. A system comprising:
-
a communication network corresponding to a frame of reference, the network configured to generate a code using a mobile tag relative to the frame of reference; a processor coupled to the communication network and configured to execute a set of instructions to evaluate the code using at least one hash table, the at least one hash table corresponding to a rule associated with the frame of reference; and an output device coupled to the processor. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A machine implemented method comprising:
-
receiving information corresponding to a mobile tag; evaluating the received information using a hash table, the hash table corresponding to at least one rule and the at least one rule configured to specify at least one of tag movement and a policy for a frame of reference associated with the tag; and generating a signal based on the evaluating. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
