SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL TIME THEFT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method for tracking one or more portable devices in real time to detect theft of the one or more portable devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- interrogating a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag via a RFID reader during successive sweep intervals, wherein the sweep interval represents active state of the RFID reader, further wherein the RFID tag and the RFID reader reside in a wearable-band adapted to be worn by a user and the one or more portable devices respectively or vice versa;
receiving one or more pairing information from the RFID tag;
comparing the one or more pairing information with corresponding one or more pairing information stored in the RFID reader; and
generating an alert signal via the wearable-band or the one or more portable devices when the one or more pairing information does not match with the corresponding one or more pairing information stored in the RFID reader.

Abstract
A method for tracking one or more portable devices in real time to detect theft of the one or more portable devices is provided. The method enables, firstly, interrogating a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag via a RFID reader during successive sweep intervals. The sweep interval represents active state of the RFID reader. Secondly, the method enables receiving one or more pairing information from the RFID tag. Further, the method enables comparing the one or more pairing information with corresponding one or more pairing information stored in the RFID reader. Finally, the method enables generating an alert signal via the wearable-band or the one or more portable devices when the one or more pairing information does not match with the corresponding one or more pairing information stored in the RFID reader.
