Abstract

A method (200, 300) and system (100, 300) for monitoring a container or other object (T, 30, 80) comprises an RFID device (T, 30), e.g., interior the container, transmitting (225) messages including unique identifying information, and a receiving device (30, TS) exterior the object (T, 30, 80) receiving, storing, and/or relaying (235-240) messages received from the RFID device (T, 30). Receptions (235) of messages transmitted by the RFID device (T, 30) when the object (T, 30, 80) is closed and when it is not closed are processed (245-285) to provide an indication of the location of the object (T, 30, 80) and/or whether the object (T, 30, 80) has or has not been opened. Messages may include power level codes and be transmitted (225-230)at more than one power level, and may be processed (245-285) for monitoring, locating and/or tracking (245-290, 300) the object (T, 30, 80).
