Method, system, and computer-readable recording medium for object location tracking
First Claim
1. A system for object location tracking comprising:
- a plurality of objects, wherein each of the objects comprises an electronic identification tag;
at least one case, configured to place the objects, wherein each of the at least one case comprises a tag reader having an antenna, a distance sensor, and a case prompt device;
a mobile electronic device; and
a server, configured to record object information and position information of each of the objects and establish connection with each of the at least one case and the mobile electronic device, wherein the position information of each of the objects comprises the case where the object is located, whereinwhen the server receives a lookup request for a target object from the mobile electronic device, the server determines whether the target object is located in any of the at least one case;
when the server determines that the target object is located in a target case among the at least one case, the mobile electronic device obtains the position information of the target object from the server;
when the server receives a search request for the target object from the mobile electronic device, the distance sensor of the target case detects a distance between the mobile electronic device and the target case and transmits a distance detection message associated with the distance to the server;
the mobile electronic device displays a first correspondence prompt signal corresponding to a first prompt signal emitted by the case prompt device of the target case; and
when the server determines that the distance is less than a distance threshold, the mobile electronic device displays a prompt object.

Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer-readable recording medium for object location tracking are provided. The system includes a server, at least one case, multiple objects, and a mobile electronic device. The method is adapted to the mobile electronic device and includes the following steps: transmitting a lookup request for a target object to the server; when obtaining location information of the target object from the server, transmitting a search request to the server, where the target object is located in a target case; in response to a distance between the mobile electronic device and a target case detected by a distance sensor of the target case, displaying a prompt signal corresponding to a first prompt signal signaled by a case prompt device of the target case; and in response to the distance determined by the server to be less than a distance threshold, displaying a prompt object.

12. A method for object location tracking, adapted for a mobile electronic device to search for a target object from at least one case having a plurality of objects, wherein each of the objects comprises an electronic identification tag, wherein each of the at least one case comprises a tag reader having an antenna, a distance sensor, and a case prompt device, wherein the mobile electronic device and each of the at least one case respectively establish connection with a server, wherein the server records object information and position information of each of the objects, and wherein the method comprises:
-
transmitting a lookup request for a target object to the server; when obtaining the position information of the target object from the server, transmitting a search request for the target object to the server, wherein the target object is located in a target case among the at least one case; in response to a distance between the mobile electronic device and the target case detected by a distance sensor of the target case, displaying a first correspondence prompt signal corresponding to a first prompt signal emitted by the case prompt device of the target case; and in response to the distance determined by the server to be less than a distance threshold, displaying a prompt object. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium, storing a first computer program to be loaded into a mobile electronic device to perform steps of:
-
transmitting a lookup request for a target object to a server, wherein the target object is searched from at least one case having a plurality of objects wherein each of the objects comprises an electronic identification tag, wherein each of the at least one case comprises a tag reader having an antenna, a distance sensor, and a case prompt device, wherein the mobile electronic device and each of the at least one case respectively establish connection with the server, wherein the server records object information and position information of each of the objects; when obtaining the position information of the target object from the server, transmitting a search request for the target object to the server, wherein the target object is located in a target case among the at least one case; in response to a distance between the mobile electronic device and the target case detected by a distance sensor of the target case, displaying a first correspondence prompt signal corresponding to a first prompt signal emitted by the case prompt device of the target case; and in response to the distance determined by the server to be less than a distance threshold, displaying a prompt object. - View Dependent Claims (19)
