Security systems and methods configured for use with an item of merchandise for retail display include a housing, at least one sensor carried by the housing and at least one output device carried by the housing. The security system further includes a controller carried by the housing and operably coupled to the sensor and to the output device. The controller is operable to determine a distance traveled by the item of merchandise from a retail display home position based upon a sensor input from the sensor, and to activate the output device based upon the distance traveled by the item of merchandise exceeding a threshold distance. The controller may utilize the at least one sensor in conjunction with an inertial navigation system (INS) and motion processing algorithms or techniques to determine the distance traveled by the item of merchandise from the retail display home position.

The present invention relates to a system for detecting intrusion in advance using an SMS notification service and a system and a method for notifying a rescue signal, and more particularly, to a system for detecting intrusion in advance using an SMS notification service capable of promptly notifying a situation by transmitting an SMS notification message to a user terminal of a pre-registered recipient while promptly displaying a warning light and propagating an alarm sound to the outside in an emergency situation, and a system and a method for notifying a rescue signal.

Disclosed is a system for interacting with one or more containers placed near a conducting surface. The system sends the information of content inside the container in relation to an action caused by a user over the communication network. The system includes a controller; a frequency generator; a first electrode; an electronic circuitry including a convertor, an e-filed strength meter, an I/O interface and a bi-directional communication unit; a second electrode and a media unit. The controller generates a unique identification code for each container. The controller communicates through the communication network. The frequency generator provides a modulated alternating electric with variable frequency. The first electrode floats in the air inside the container and mirrors charges received from the frequency generator through the conducting surface and the content. The convertor converts alternating charges into DC energy received from the first electrode. The e-filed strength meter measures changes in the alternating charges on the container. The I/O interface generates input and output signals on receiving the change in the alternating charges from e-field strength meter and the bi-directional communication unit to communicate the changes in the electric field strength from the e-field strength meter to the controller. The second electrode is coupled to the converter and is attached to the cap of the container and further floats against the ground. The media unit stores and communicates media data related to the container over the communication network on receiving the field strength signal along with the unique ID number from the controller.
