Abstract:
The present invention is a system and method for determining product movement using a sensor. Through the interaction of a body or items placed near to or on an array of sensors connected to a circuit board controller, the apparatus is configured to detect a change in capacitance caused by the interaction and thereby associate it with a movement or placement of an item or groups of items. Detection and association of such signals recorded in a database with items displaced in a storage location permits a user to keep track of said items remotely through a computing device.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 11  wherein the steps are performed at least in part by an apparatus comprising:\n one or more sensor pads which comprise one or more sensors, one or more ground planes, wherein said one or more sensor pads and said one or more ground planes are configured to detect the proximity, presence, absence, movement, placement, or removal of an item or a body via a change in sensor capacitance caused by an interaction between said sensor, said ground plane, and said item or body respectively; \n a controller communicatively connected to said one or more sensor pads; and \n a database that receives data from said controller and is configured to generate a signal signature based in part on said change in said sensor capacitance;\n wherein said one or more sensor pads comprise a plurality of pairs of alternating layers of conductive and dielectric materials; and \n said controller comprises said electrical frequency generator.
