Abstract
A personal items network, comprising a plurality of items, each item having a wireless communications port for coupling in network with every other item, each item having a processor for determining if any other item in the network is no longer linked to the item, each item having an indicator for informing a user that an item has left the network, wherein a user may locate lost items. A method for locating lost personal items, comprising: linking at least two personal items together on a network; and depositing one or both of time and location information in an unlost item when one of the items is lost out of network.

21. A movement measurement system for measuring movement comprising:
-
an accelerometer sensor operative to generate sensor data based on movement of the accelerometer sensor; a global positioning system (GPS) sensor operative to generate position data; at least one transmission communications port operatively coupled to the accelerometer sensor and the GPS sensor, the at least one transmission communications port operative to wirelessly transmit signals based on the sensor data and the position data; a receiver communications port operative to wirelessly receive the signals from the at least one transmission communications port; at least one processor operative to process the received signals to generate event data, wherein the event data is indicative of at least one of a distance traveled and a velocity; and an output component operative to visually provide the event data. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
