Abstract

An electronic device may include wireless communications circuitry that receives location information from tags that are coupled to different items. The electronic device may keep track of the different items using the tags. The electronic device may include control circuitry that analyzes historical tracking data from the tags to identify patterns and relationships between the tags. Based on the historical tracking data, the control circuitry may classify some tagged items as bags for other tagged items and may automatically alert the user when a tagged item is missing from its bag. The control circuitry may generate rules based on the historical tracking data, such as rules regarding acceptable ranges between tagged items and acceptable ranges between tagged items and the electronic device. The control circuitry may determine when to provide real-time location information and other notifications for a tagged item based on the historical tracking data.
