An information terminal that uploads IC chip information to a server is provided.

The information terminal includes a reading unit that reads information from a recording medium at a first timing based on first information described in setting information, and an upload unit that uploads the information to an external device at a second timing based on second information described in the setting information. the recording medium is an IC chip built in the information terminal or an IC chip accessible from the information terminal. The reading unit reads IC chip information from the IC chip, and the upload unit uploads the IC chip information to the external device.

Provided are a method and device for positioning, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: receiving a positioning indication, herein the positioning indication indicates positioning of a first item, and the first item has a first electronic tag; obtaining RSSIs of a plurality of second electronic tags, herein the plurality of second electronic tags include the first electronic tag; determining, based on the RSSIs of the plurality of second electronic tags, at least one third electronic tag; and positioning, through the at least one third electronic tag, the first item.

A compact RFID electronics container of an inventory tracking and management system includes a housing with an interior volume and one or more walls at least partially defining the interior volume. A transmitter and a voltage converter are disposed in the interior volume of the housing. The voltage converter is electrically coupled to the transmitter. A first connection port is disposed through the one or more walls of the housing and is arranged to connect the transmitter with a sensor externally disposed relative to the housing. A second connection port is disposed through the one or more walls of the housing and is arranged to connect the voltage converter with a power source externally disposed relative to the housing.

The present invention relates to the technical field of Internet of Things (IoT), in particular to an IoT smart clip and a usage method thereof. The smart clip comprises a moving component and a limiting portion cooperating with the moving component. The moving component comprises a moving component body provided with an inner cavity, and a driving mechanism. A first connecting plate and a second connecting plate which are connected via a spring are arranged in the inner cavity along a movement direction of the moving component. The outer end of the first connecting plate is provided with a plunger. The second connecting plate is connected with the driving mechanism. The plunger is capable of cooperating with the limiting portion under a spring force to lock the smart clip and of unlocking the smart clip under the driving the driving mechanism.

In an embodiment, the methods and systems disclosed herein utilize a cloud-based service to accept measurements of commercial objects for storage in a database. In an embodiment, commercial objects are automatically grouped based on measured physical characteristics. In an embodiment, a build plan is generated to utilize the maximum amount of space possible in a shipping container based on the grouped commercial objects.

The embodiments herein relate to surveillance of objects and, more particularly, to efficient detection and tracking of objects. A method disclosed herein includes detecting at least one object in the physical store, on receiving media from a plurality of media acquisition devices positioned in the physical store. The method further includes tracking the at least one object in the physical store by projecting input data points of each media acquisition device onto a groundplot, clustering the input data points into a single cluster, and assigning a tracking identifier (ID) to a centroid of the single cluster, wherein the centroid depicts the at least one object.
