Systems and methods for wireless object tracking
First Claim
1. A system for object tracking comprising:
- at least one subsystem that detects at a first object an electronic signal from a second object;
at least one subsystem that emits an electronic alert beacon from the first object when said first object is determined to be out of range of the second object, wherein the electronic alert beacon comprises information including current and past location information about said first object and a time when said first object was determined to be out of range of the second object; and
at least one subsystem that transmits the information from the electronic alert beacon to a user.

Abstract
A system for object tracking may comprise at least one subsystem that couples an electronic signal emitting and receiving device to an object to be tracked, at least one subsystem that assigns an identifier to the object, at least one subsystem that registers the identifier of the object with a second object, and at least one subsystem that establishes electronic communication between the object to be tracked and the second object via the electronic signal emitting and receiving device. Also a system for object tracking may comprise at least one subsystem that detects at a first object an electronic signal from a second object, and at least one subsystem that emits an electronic alert beacon from the first object when said first object is determined to be out of range of the second object.
