1. A computer-implemented method for automatically monitoring inventory, comprising:
determining, by a processor of a wireless connection device, occurrence of a triggering event associated with a triggering condition;
transmitting, by a wireless communication component of the wireless connection device, an inventory request message;
receiving, at a wireless tag of each of one or more inventory items within a wireless communication range of the wireless connection device, the inventory request message;
transmitting, by the wireless tag of each of the respective one or more inventory items, a response message to the wireless connection device in response to the inventory request message;
receiving, at the wireless communication component of the wireless connection device, the one or more response messages from the respective one or more wireless tags in response to the inventory request message;
receiving, at the wireless communication component of the wireless connection device, one or more device response messages from one or more wirelessly communicating electronic devices within the wireless communication range of the wireless connection device in response to the inventory request message;
generating, by the processor of the wireless connection device, an inventory message based upon the one or more response messages and the one or more device response messages, wherein the inventory message indicates a level of inventory at a location associated with the wireless connection device and wherein the inventory message is distinct from each of the one or more responses messages; and
sending, from the wireless connection device to an inventory server via a communication network, the inventory message based upon the one or more response messages and the one or more device response messages.
