Abstract:
1. A method for managing the location of at least one object comprising: providing at least one object; providing at least one communication structure operatively associated with the at least one object; providing a device having a communication range and being capable of communicating with the communication structure operatively associated with the at least one object within the device communication range, the device being capable of providing a warning notification; establishing a predetermined proximity distance threshold for the at least one object in relation to the device; providing the warning notification if the at least one object is not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold associated with the at least one object; determining whether or not the at least one object is detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold; and if the at least one object is not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold, determining whether or not the at least one object not detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold has permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold; and if the at least one object is determined to have permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold, no warning notification is provided; and if after having permission to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold, the at least one object is detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold, revoking the permission for the at least one object to not be detected within the predetermined proximity distance threshold.
