Trackable ball

Abstract

The trackable ball includes a ball member, and an electronic tag configured on the ball member. The electronic tag includes an identification chip and a transceiver antenna. The electronic tag is a wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag or a near-field communication (NFC) tag, signally connected to a mobile device. The mobile device is a smartphone or a smartwatch. The mobile device is equipped with an electronic tag reader, and an indicator. A user can detect and track the ball member using the mobile device. Because mobile devices such as smartphones or smartwatches are very common and easy to carry, the interaction between the electronic tag reader of the mobile device and the electronic tag can occur at close range, achieving the purpose of quickly searching for the ball member, making it convenient and efficient.
