1. A method for managing the location of at least one object comprising:
- providing at least one object;
providing at least one communication structure operatively associated with the at least one object;
providing a device having a communication range and being capable of communicating with the communication structure of the at least one object within the device communication range, the device being capable of providing a warning notification;
establishing a predetermined proximity distance threshold for the at least one object;
providing the warning notification if the at least one object is not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold associated with the at least one object;
instructing the device that one of the at least one object has permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold;
determining whether or not the at least one object is detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold; and
if the at least one object is not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold, determining whether or not the at least one object not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold has permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold.

Abstract
Systems and methods for permitting movement of an object not detected within a predetermined proximity distance threshold, the systems and methods comprising registering at least one object with a device; tracking the at least one object with the device; allowing at least one object not detected within a predetermined proximity distance threshold; and reregistering the at least one object with the device once the object has returned inside the predetermined proximity distance threshold.

8. A system for managing the location of at least one object comprising:
-
at least one object; at least one communication structure operatively associated with the at least one object; a device having a communication range and capable of communicating with the communication structure of the at least one object, the device being capable of generating a warning notification; a predetermined proximity distance threshold associated with the at least one object, wherein the warning notification is generated by the device if the at least one object is not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold associated with the at least one object; structure for instructing the device that the at least one object has permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold associated with the at least one object; and if the at least one object is determined to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold, structure for determining whether or not the at least one object not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold has permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for managing the location of at least one object comprising:
-
providing at least one object; providing at least one communication structure operatively associated with the at least one object; providing a device having a communication range and being capable of communicating with the communication structure of the at least one object within the device communication range, the device being capable of providing a warning notification; establishing a predetermined proximity distance threshold for the at least one object; providing the warning notification based on the predetermined proximity distance threshold associated with the at least one object; providing a device to activate and deactivate the warning notification thus providing permission of the at least one object to leave or enter the predetermined proximity distance threshold; and at least one of the steps of; a. activating the warning notification to determine location of the at least one object; and b. deactivating the warning notification to permit entry and exit of the at least one object into or out of the predetermined proximity distance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
