SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A WIRELESS TRACKING DEVICE ALARM
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a confirmation regarding a singleton, the confirmation including a value read from a machine-readable code associated with the singleton;
detecting a wireless tracking device, using a processor of a machine, corresponding to the value read from the machine-readable code; and
based on having received the confirmation regarding the singleton, refraining from generating an alarm in response to the detection of the wireless tracking device.

Abstract
A wireless tracking device may have a unique identifier that identifies the item to which it is attached, distinguishing that item from the other items in a secured location. A database may contain information regarding the item attached to the wireless tracking device. A store may be a secured location, and an item may be authorized to leave the store when it is sold. A checkout process may include scanning a machine-readable code associated with the wireless tracking device. Once the checkout is complete and the customer has paid for the item, the database may be updated to disable the alarm for the wireless tracking device. Based on the information in the database, a wireless tracking device detector may determine whether or not to generate an alarm when the wireless tracking device is detected leaving the secured location.

8. A system comprising:
-
a communication module configured to receive a first set of item identifiers; a wireless tracking device module configured to; detect a set of wireless tracking devices, each wireless tracking device of the set of wireless tracking devices identifying a singleton; determine, based on the singletons, a second set of item identifiers; and compare the first set of item identifiers to the second set of identifiers; and a user interface module configured to; cause a presentation of a result of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a confirmation regarding a singleton, the confirmation including a value read from a machine-readable code associated with the singleton; detecting a wireless tracking device, using a processor of a machine, corresponding to the value read from the machine-readable code; based on the value read from the machine-readable code, selecting an alarm from a plurality of alarms; and based on the detection of the wireless tracking device, generating the selected alarm. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
