Abstract: A mobile tag reader that may be configured to wirelessly communicate with a security tag is provided. The mobile tag reader may include a position estimator, which includes processing circuitry configured to receive information indicative of at least a first read event associated with a first antenna beam pattern and a second read event associated with a second antenna beam pattern emitted by the mobile tag reader. The processing circuitry may be further configured to identify an overlap area between at least the first antenna beam pattern and the second antenna beam pattern. The processing circuitry may be further configured to determine an estimated location of the security tag based on the overlap area.

Abstract: A security device is provided including a security lock configured to retain an object when locked, a receiver configured to receive a security code transmission, and processing circuitry configured to transition the security lock between a locked state and unlock permissive state based on receipt of a security code. The security lock may initially be set to the unlock permissive state. At the first instance in which a security code is received, the processing circuitry may transition the security lock to a key permissive mode in which the security lock transitions to a locked state and in response to a subsequent receipt of the security code the security lock transitions to the unlock permissive state.
