The invention is applicable to the technical field of monitoring, and provides a smart monitoring method and
system. The smart monitoring method includes the steps of receiving the identity information of a target object, which wears a target electronic
label and is in a monitoring area, recording the time when the target object in each position, calculating the distance between the target object and a
radio frequency identification reader, determining the geographical position of the
radio frequency identification reader, calculating geographical position of the target object in each position according to the distance and the geographical position of the
radio frequency identification reader, calculating the to-fro moving frequency of the target object according to the time of the target object in each position and geographical position of the target object in each position, and determining whether the target object is under a wandering state according to the frequency. According to the method, whether a target object wanders in a monitoring area can directly be obtained from received information, thereby facilitating monitoring of the target object and improving user experience.
