Abstract:
An apparatus, a system and a method monitor a device within a zone. A head may wirelessly communicate with an emitter and a hub. The head may connect and/or disconnect power to a battery of the device according to a charge of the battery. The head may monitor an attachment of the head to the device and/or a connection of a cable to the head and/or a port of the device. The emitter may transmit a signal to define the zone and/or the head may receive the signal. A distance between the head and the emitter may be determined using a received signal strength indication and/or a time of flight measurement of the signal from the emitter to the head. The distance may indicate whether the head is positioned within the zone or outside of the zone. An alarm may be triggered if the head is positioned outside of the zone.
Abstract:
An apparatus, a system and/or a method provide for wirelessly collecting data corresponding to a product attached to a security device. The security device associated with the product transmits wireless signals throughout a display area. A computer remotely positioned from the security device receives the wireless signals and stores status data of the security device. The computer wirelessly transmits the status data to a remote server, and the remote server determines statistical data from the status data. The remote server stores the statistical data in a database and facilitates user access to the data.
