“…Current and historical data on groups of tags could also be used to identify and analyze aggregate phenomena such as the impact of seminars on improving communication between researchers. Real-time streams of tag reads could be used in "find my object" applications, reminding services [2], and to actuate devices.…”

“…Early successes in the asset tracking and supply-chain domains [15] coupled with the falling cost of tags have lead researchers to consider pervasive, public RFID deployments that support more user-oriented services. A number of investigations into personnel tracking and task automation using RFID [2,11,14] have shown the technology's potential to facilitate everyday life by seamlessly integrating the virtual and physical worlds. Unfortunately, the majority of such studies have been limited to technology and user evaluations over a short time in restricted scenarios (often in a laboratory).…”

“…First, pervasive RFID applications are likely to evolve and grow over time. We already see RFID in elder care and object finding [2,11] applications, each of which requires a flexible infrastructure that facilitates provisioning. Supplychain applications are typically less dynamic and apply the technology in a narrower capacity (mostly for inventory tracking).…”

The success of RFID in supply chain management is leading many to consider more personal and pervasive deployments of this technology. Unlike industrial settings, however, deployments that involve humans raise new and critical problems related to privacy, security, uncertainty, and a more diverse and evolving set of applications.At the University of Washington, we are deploying a building-wide RFID-based infrastructure with hundreds of antennas and thousands of tags. Our goal is to uncover the issues of pervasive RFID deployments and devise techniques for addressing these issues before such deployments become common place.In this paper, we present the challenges encountered and lessons learned during a smaller-scale pilot deployment of the system. We show some preliminary results and, for each challenge, discuss how we addressed it or how we are planning on addressing it.

“…However, they do not combine location information to enhance the inference accuracy. The closest to our approach in the application level is the work developed by Borriello et al [10]. They try to remind people of misplace objects by monitoring them with two long range RFID readers housing in the door way.…”

Abstract. This paper introduces a novel approach to enhancing safety through RFID technology, location tracking, and monitoring person-object interaction. We design and develop RFID-based wearable devices for (1)tracking people's locations, (2)monitoring person-object interactions, and (3)tracking objects' locations. An intelligent object reminder and safety alert system is proposed to relief the common safety-related worries many of us face in our everyday lives -"Where did I leave my keys?", "Did I turn off the stove?", or "Did I close all the windows in my house?" etc. Experimental results on the precision of object identification and location tracking are also presented.

“…Compared to these systems, we do not rely on a pre-installed infrastructure which is costly to deploy and to maintain, but focus on the use of mobile phones as hubs to a ubiquitous infrastructure. In the Smart Watch prototype [7], RFID readers transmit their current readings to the passing user's personal device, thus enhancing it with an object sensor. The user is then notified if objects are missing compared to readings which were collected earlier.…”

Abstract. Locating physical items is a highly relevant application addressed by numerous systems. Many of these systems share the drawback that costly infrastructure must be installed before a significant physical area can be covered, that is, before these systems may be used in practice. In this paper, we build on the ubiquitous infrastructure provided by the mobile phone network to design a widearea system for locating objects. Sensor-equipped mobile phones, naturally omnipresent in populated environments, are the main elements of our system. They are used to distribute search queries and to report an object's location. We present the design of our object search system together with a set of simple heuristics which can be used for efficient object search. Moreover, such a system can only be successfully deployed if environment conditions (such as the participant density and their mobility) and system settings (such as number of queried sensors) allow to find an object quickly and efficiently. We therefore demonstrate the practicability of our system and obtain suitable system parameters for its execution in a series of simulations. Further, we use a real-world experiment to validate the obtained simulation results.
