Abstract

A system and method to provide user marketing recommendations or suggestions based on an interaction between a user and a product, using a radio frequency tag in communication with the product, a radio frequency reader, and a computing device. A motion of the user detected by the radio frequency tag is used to generate a signal containing level of motion, which is utilized by the computing device to determine a level of user interaction and generate marketing information. Marketing information about how to use the product in a recipe is sent to the user interface device.

a purchase of a product associated with the RF tag; or

a measured time value, by the RF tag.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to determine an event to provide marketing information or a recommendation based on receiving RF signal data from a plurality of RF tags in communication with a plurality of products or based on receiving RF signal data from a plurality of RF tags wherein one RF tag is in communication with a product and one RF tag is in communication with a user, a mobile artificial intelligent device, or a non-product.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to communicate with a user interface device, the user interface device comprising at least one of a smartphone, a server, a mobile artificial intelligence device, a display to display information, a wearable, a refrigerator, a garment, a watch, a computing device, glasses, or an internet connected appliance.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the marketing information further comprises at least one of use instructions, a product related to the product; a recipe, storage recommendations, a URL, pricing, place, promotion, marketing collateral, coupon, promotional material, sale, discount, brochure, conversational artificial intelligence, or an artificial intelligence action performed by the computing device based on the condition, the action, or the event related to the product associated with the RF tag.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user account stored in the memory comprises a user profile, the profile including at least one of personal data, data marketing preferences, health, a lifestyle, a medical or a health condition for use in the data analysis to generate the marketing information.

10. A system to provide marketing information for a product, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) tag in communication with the product, wherein the RF tag is located remote from a computing device;

the computing device comprising a processor and a non-volatile, non-transitory memory, the computing device configured to utilize artificial intelligence;

a RF reader in communication with the computing device, configured to receive one or more signals from the RF tag;

the RF tag configured to send the one or more signals to the computing device;

analyzing, by the computing device, at least one measurement from each of the RF signals, wherein the analyzed measurements from the RF signals correspond to a condition or an action relating to the RF tag;

identifying, by the computing device, a pattern based on the analyzed measurements from the RF signals that correspond to the condition or the action, wherein the identified pattern indicates an event occurring to the RF tag based on a change in the measurement of the signals from the RF tag;

determining, by the computing device, the event occurring to the RF tag associated with the product based on the identified pattern;

identifying, by the computing device, the product associated with the RF tag; and

generating, by the computing device, marketing information for the product associated with the RF tag.

11. The system of claim 10 , further providing, by the computing device, natural language to search, to query, to provide a notification, or to provide a recommendation regarding a status of the condition, the action, or the event associated with the RF tag identified by the pattern.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the measurement analyzed from each of the RF signals further includes a measurement derived from an adjustment of a signal relating to a communication function of the RF tag, the adjustment of the RF signal based on a wireless reference signal received by the RF tag.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the computing device is further configured to generate marketing information for the product, wherein the marketing information comprises a brand name, a unique identification number associated with the product, pricing information, a product purchase, or product information.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the computing device is further configured to use an application stored in the non-volatile, non-transitory memory, configured to use artificial intelligence, and executable by the processor to provide the search, the query, the notification, or the recommendation for the product, the condition, the action, or the event associated with the RF tag.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the RF signals further includes data from a sensor of the RF tag.
