System, method and product for managing interactions of a person with objects

Abstract

A electronic management for interactions of a person with a plurality of objects is disclosed. In the person's environment, objects must have an attached electromagnetic tag comprising a unique identification code. The person carries portable reading means to periodically read electromagnetic tags of near objects. Processing means receive the identification code previously read together with additional information regarding the location and the time of each reading operation in order to create specific tag reading events that can be grouped for further analysis according to location and temporal values of each read tag. Therefore, the processing means can define representative points and to identify individual interactions and then relate interactions in a simpler and more accurate manner.
