RETAIL ITEM MANAGEMENT USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

摘要

A system is provided for identifying handling events of an item. The system includes at least one wireless sensor node (WSN) tag associated with the item. The WSN tag includes a transceiver and at least one sensor. The at least one sensor is configured to generate sensor data based at least in part on motion of the wireless sensor node. The WSN tag includes a memory configured to store at least one event filter and sensor data. The WSN tag further includes a tag processor configured to filter sensor data based on at least one event filter. The tag processor is configured to determine whether an event has occurred based on filtering of the sensor data, and to generate event data in response to the determination that the event has occurred. The tag processor is configured to cause the transceiver to transmit event data.
