1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor, data indicative of an event;
identifying, by the processor in response to the detecting, at least one accessory item associated with the event;
wherein detecting of the data indicative of the event is independent of a geographic location of the at least one accessory item associated with the event;
determining, by the processor based on a signal provided by positional circuitry in a mobile device associated with the accessory item, the geographic location of the at least one accessory item associated with the event; and
generating, by the processor, a map including an indication of the geographic location of the at least one associated accessory item.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code and operable to store a data indicative of an event and data indicative of a floor plan; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to; detect the event; identify an item associated with the event in response to the detection of the event;
wherein the event is detected independently from a location of the item associated with the event;determine the location of the item associated with the event, the location determined based on a signal provided by positional circuitry in a mobile device associated with the item; and provide an indication of the location of the associated item on a visual representation of the floor plan. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed on a computer are operable to:
-
identify data representing a floor plan; orient the floor plan or data thereof to a coordinate system; detect data indicative of an event; identify an item associated with the event;
wherein detecting of the data indicative of the event is independent of a geographic location of the item associated with the event;determine a location of the item associated with the event, the location determined based on a signal provided by positional circuitry in a mobile device integrated into the item; and provide an indication of the location of the associated item on a visual representation of the floor plan or data thereof using the coordinate system.
