1. A method for managing an item in a place, said method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor of a computer system, that;
(i) the item in the place is being moved, (ii) an operating object inside the place is moving, and (iii) the operating object inside the place and the item in the place are within a previously specified distance of each other;
responsive to said detecting, said processor determining whether the operating object has a reservation for borrowing the item and subsequently determining that the operating object does not have said reservation for borrowing the item;
responsive to said determining that the operating object does not have said reservation for borrowing the item, said processor determining that the operating object has illegitimately taken the item; and
responsive to said determining that the operating object has illegitimately taken the item, said processor preventing the operating object from removing the item from the place.

Abstract
A method and associated system for managing an item in a place. The method detects that: (i) the item in the place is being moved, (ii) an operating object inside the place is moving, and (iii) the operating object inside the place and the item in the place are within a previously specified distance of each other. Responsive to the previous detections, it is determined that the operating object does not have a reservation for borrowing the item, from which it is determined that the operating object has illegitimately taken the item, which triggers preventing the operating object from removing the item from the place.

15. A computer system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device containing program code configured to be executed by the processor via the memory to implement a method for managing an item in a place, said method comprising:
-
detecting, by a processor of a computer system, that;
(i) the item in the place is being moved, (ii) an operating object inside the place is moving, and (iii) the operating object inside the place and the item in the place are within a previously specified distance of each other;responsive to said detecting, said processor determining whether the operating object has a reservation for borrowing the item and subsequently determining that the operating object does not have said reservation for borrowing the item; responsive to said determining that the operating object does not have said reservation for borrowing the item, said processor determining that the operating object has illegitimately taken the item; and responsive to said determining that the operating object has illegitimately taken the item, said processor preventing the operating object from removing the item from the place. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
