If you are like me and misplace your car keys or mobile phone just as you are about to dash out of the house. A new concept called Finder has been designed which uses RFID tags to help you locate those lost items quickly. Just make sure you don’t miss place the Finder itself.

The system works by allowing you to attach small RFID tags to your belongings which are then used to locate them when they lost by using the Finder device, as demonstrated in the picture below.

Each RFID tag is set with the appropriate label for the object that it sticks to, allowing you to then enter the name of your lost belongings into the Finder for easy retrieval.

The Finder device has been designed by Chu Wang, Qiujin Kou, Qian Yin & Yonghua Zhang and is currently still only just a concept at the moment. But you never know it might make the jump from concept to manufacture in the near future to help us find those misplaced belongings. Lets hope so.
