Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions that when executed cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving, from a first device comprising a first sensor, a first signal indicative of:
a first identifier associated with a first object to which the first device is coupled, and
one or more first properties, detected by the first sensor, corresponding to an acceleration associated with a first motion of the first object and a second acceleration associated with a second motion of the first object;

receiving a second signal indicative of 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; and
determining, based upon the first identifier, the one or more first properties 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, a first status associated with the first object, wherein the determining the first status is based upon the acceleration associated with the first object meeting a threshold acceleration level, wherein the second acceleration associated with the second motion of the first object is determined to not meet the threshold acceleration level, the first status indicative of an amount of time that the first object is used, wherein the amount of time comprises an average amount of time that the first object is used per duration of time over a plurality of usage sessions.
