A tracking system monitors an entity that enters a controlled space and the addition,
removal, or other movement or status changes of objects in the controlled space.
A computer system, coupled to the tracking system, automatically associates the
addition, removal or other movement or status changes of the objects with the identity
of the entity and transmits this information to a server computer system. A user
may subsequently access this information through one or more client computers coupled
to the server computer system. The server computer system may also automatically
notify a user or other computer systems, e.g., through a network interface, wireless
interface, or telephone interface, when objects in the controlled space have been
moved or the status has been changed and/or whether such movement or status change
is authorized or not.
