Abstract:
According to embodiments of the present invention, a notification is provided to a user. A receptacle receives an engaging member of a securing device that engages an entity within an environment. The receptacle includes a sensor to detect a presence of the engaging member of the securing device within the receptacle. An alert unit is disposed within the receptacle and enabled in response to presence of the engaging member of the securing device within the receptacle. A communication device of the alert unit communicates with a target device associated with a user. A processor of the alert unit is configured to determine a distance to the user based on communication with the target device and control notification to the user in response to the distance to the user satisfying a threshold distance.
