1. A method for radar tags, comprising:
- transmitting a signal to a radar tag that creates a synthetic radar echo in response to receiving the signal, wherein the synthetic radar echo comprises information provided by the radar tag;
receiving the synthetic radar echo from the radar tag;
determining by a server computer a location of the radar tag based on the synthetic radar echo;
identifying by a server computer the radar tag based on the synthetic radar echo;
recording by a server computer the identification of the radar tag, the location of the radar tag, and a time associated with determining the location of the radar tag as data in a database; and
evaluating by a server computer the radar tag based on accessing a plurality of recordings of the data in the database.

Abstract
A method is provided for mobile device enabled radar tags. A signal is transmitted to a radar tag. The radar tag detects the signal. The radar tag provides information. The information is received from the radar tag. A location of the radar tag is determined based on the information. The radar tag is identified based on the information. The identification of the radar tag, the location of the radar tag, and a time associated with determining the location of the radar tag are recorded as data in a database. The radar tag is evaluated based on accessing a plurality of recordings of the data in the database.

7. A system for radar tags, comprising:
-
a radar tag; a mobile device comprising the radar tag; a server; a user interface; a transmitter configured to transmit a signal to the radar tag based on information associated with the mobile device, wherein the radar tag detects the signal and responds with a synthetic radar echo that includes radar tag information; and a receiver configured to receive the synthetic radar echo from the radar tag and to convey the synthetic radar echo to the server, wherein the server receives the synthetic radar echo, determines a location of the radar tag based on the synthetic radar echo, and provides data to the user interface to identify the radar tag and to specify the location of the radar tag. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
