Claim 10:
11. A system, comprising:
a first device coupled to a first object, the first device comprising:
a first sensor configured to detect one or more first properties of the first object comprising an acceleration of motion of the first device,
wherein the first device is configured to:
perform sensing to attempt to detect one or more client devices configured for reception of a signal indicative of the one or more first properties comprising the acceleration of motion of the first device;
determine that the acceleration of motion of the first device meets a threshold acceleration level;
determine at least one of an ambient light level of ambient light of a space within which the first object is located, a change of the ambient light level or the ambient light level meeting a threshold ambient light level;
generate a first signal based upon a combination of (i) an indication of at least one of the acceleration of motion of the device or the acceleration of the device meeting the threshold acceleration level, (ii) a first identifier associated with the first object and (iii) and at least one of the ambient light level, the change of the ambient light level or the ambient light level meeting the threshold ambient light level; and
store at a first time the first signal in memory of the first device upon not detecting one or more client devices configured for reception of the first signal; and

a first transmitter configured to transmit, to a client device, the first signal indicative of the combination of (i) the indication of at least one of the acceleration of motion of the device or the acceleration of the device meeting the threshold acceleration level and (ii) the first identifier associated with the first object upon detecting the client device at a second time after the first time, wherein the first device is powered by motion of the first device.
