1. A movement monitor device, comprising:
- a detector for generating a signal in response to movement of the device;
a real time clock;
a processor for processing the signal to generate one or more movement events and for time-tagging the movement events with time information from the clock; and
a first communications port and a receiver, wherein the first communications port wirelessly communicates events, tagged with the time information, to the receiver and wherein the first communications port communicates the events to the receiver substantially continuously, the receiver having a second communications port for receiving the events and for reconstructing the substantially continuous events to generate media signals suitable for display with broadcast media.

Abstract
The invention provides a smart sensor (10) in the form of an adhesive bandage (32). The sensor (12) sticks to people and objects and wirelessly communicates with remote receivers (24). Internal detectors (12) sense conditions associated with movement or the environment of the sensor. Typically, sensors of the invention communicate by an RF transmitter or transceiver (16). Groups of sensors may be combined within a common canister that imparts date and time information and “power on” when dispensed.
