Abstract
A controller device with one or more processors and memory determines an identity and a location of a tagged physical object based on contextual information received from one or more sources. The controller device determines locations for each of a plurality of identifiable tags with associated tag identifiers. The controller device correlates the identity of the tagged physical object with a first set of one or more identifiable tags from among the plurality of identifiable tags based on correspondence between the determined location of the tagged physical object and at least one determined location of the first set of identifiable tags. The controller device stores the at least one determined location of the first set of identifiable tags, tag identifiers of the first set identifiable tags, and the identity of the tagged physical object in a physical object tracking table.
