Claim:
A method for tracking objects of people in a tracking system, the method comprising: providing each of at least two different objects with a transmitter, each of the transmitters having individualized identifier data; logically connecting the objects to each other by connecting the identifier data of the transmitters to each other; recording the identifier data of the transmitters of the objects that are logically connected to each other in a memory; connecting contact information of the object in question to the identifier data of the transmitter of the object; detecting the transmitter of the object with a receiver of an identification point when the object comes close to the identification point; determining based on the identifier data contained in the memory whether at least two objects that are logically connected to each other have traveled past the identification point inside a pre-defined time window; and performing one or more pre-defined feedback actions when at least two of the objects that are logically connected to each other have not traveled past the identification point inside the pre-defined time window.
