Abstract:
A management system monitors a set of objects of a user by wirelessly communicating with one or more location components associated with the objects, and each object of the set has a respective location component. The monitoring includes ascertaining by the management system, based at least in part on data obtained via wireless communication with the location component(s), a spatial centroid of the set and a spatial separation of an object in the set from the spatial centroid, and correlating the ascertained spatial centroid to a context classification of multiple context classifications. The management system further determines whether a difference between the ascertained spatial separation and the average spatial separation of the location component(s) for the correlated context classification exceeds an acceptable spatial separation tolerance. Based on the difference exceeding the acceptable tolerance, the management system provides an electronic alert to the user.
