Abstract
The present invention provides an electronic activation and identification module that includes a holder device configured to hold an object of interest; a digital device coupled to the holder device, wherein the digital device has a unique digital registration number; a storage receptacle configured to selectively receive the holder device; a light-emitting source coupled to the storage receptacle and associated with the holder device; and an electrical power source. Optionally, the digital device consists of a microprocessor disposed within a protective housing and the light-emitting source comprises a light-emitting diode. Preferably, the digital device is in electrical communication with a serial data bus. The light-emitting source provides an identifying position signal indicating when the holder device is one of being received by the storage receptacle and not being received by the storage receptacle. The electronic activation and identification module may also include a microprocessor operable for selectively illuminating the light-emitting source.
