AN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A WIRELESS LOCATING DEVICE

摘要

A system for wirelessly determining that an object is within a predetermined distance from a user is envisioned. The system is made of a transmitter, associated with the object that has a transmitting circuitry that transmits a signal independently of the location of the transmitter. The system also has a receiver associated with the user. The receiver is made up of a receiving circuitry that receives the signal, and an activation circuitry that alerts the user. A logical circuitry, communicatively coupled to the receiving circuitry and the activation circuitry, determines whether the receiver is beyond the predetermined distance from the object based on characteristics of the signal. If the receiver is determined to be beyond the predetermined distance, the activation circuitry is enabled.
