<p>A method for locating individual items (115, 125, 135, 155) comprises the steps of tagging a plurality of individual items (115, 125, 135, 155) with an electronic identification (ID) device capable of wireless communication (140); grouping a number of individual items (115, 125, 135, 155) to one or more use-profiles (105); which are loaded into a computing device (170) comprising a wireless detection means (140, 178). A number of the ID devices relating to the individual items (115, 125, 135, 155) are wirelessly detected and the ID of each compared with the one or more use-profile(s) (105) to determine whether respective individual items (115, 125, 135, 155) have been located. Thus, a user of the computing device may group items associated with some specific activity or event together in a use-profile, and efficiently check a presence of the items when carrying out the activity, or when an event occurs.</p> |
