Benefits of technology

This solution effectively reduces the risk of forgetting essential items by automatically or manually checking their presence, simplifying item tracking and reducing the need for separate RFID readers, while being cost-efficient and easy to implement.

Problems solved by technology

This behaviour has increased the number of items to be brought for different needs given raise to problems of forgetting one or more items when going from one place to another, e.g. when leaving home for work or training.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and / or other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an REID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a RFID reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected / sent back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to and for example used in computers. A typical RFID system consists of at least one RFID tag made up of a microchip with an antenna, and an RFID interrogator or reader with an antenna. The reader sends out electromagnetic waves and the tag antenna is tuned to receive these waves. The chip then modulates the waves that the tag sends back to the re...
