Abstract:
A method, wireless communication device, and radio frequency ID reader are provided for monitoring radio-frequency identification enabled items. The method includes receiving a set of radio frequency IDs () representing a set of radio frequency ID enabled items () to be monitored. An identifier representing a user activity and its relationship with at least one radio frequency ID in the set of radio frequency IDs and at least one radio frequency ID reader is received (). The method also includes determining if at least one condition associated with the user activity has occurred indicating that the user activity is occurring (). The set of radio frequency IDs representing a set of radio frequency ID enabled items () to be monitored by the at least one radio frequency ID reader are monitored () in response to the determining that the at least one condition is occurring.
