Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for managing a location of at least one object. The method includes affixing an RFID tag on an object, providing a communication structure on the RFID tag, providing a device capable of communicating with the communication structure of the RFID tag when the RFID tag is within a range of the device, determining, by the device, whether the object is in the range based on signal levels from the RFID tag and displaying, by the device, a signal strength indicator representing a proximity of the object to the device.
