Apologies for my ignorance on this topic beforehand, but how hard would it be/is it possible for me to do the following:

(Also if you can point me in the direction of specific resources, links, etc that would be very helpful. Especially if I need to purchase something).

Anyway, I’m looking for a small bracelet with an RFID chip that I can program to do two of the following things.

One: capable of tracking when the RFID crosses a line. Example: let’s say I have a gate and someone wearing the bracelet crosses the gate, I need to be able to track that individuals count each time they enter or leave the gate. (I don’t need to have a distinction between entering or leaving, just a count each of the crossing).

Two (this ain’t crucial but would be nice): After crossing the first time, it shows how much time has elapsed between the first time they cross it and the last time they cross it that day. For instance: human one crosses the gate and the timer begins, then at the end of the day, it shows they cross the gate for the last time (12 hour period) and after the last time they crossed it shows a time of 6 hours 10 minutes 27 seconds. Meaning from the first time they crossed to the last time (doesn’t matter how many other times they crossed in between from a timing perspective, but I still need to see how many times they crossed total) 6 hours 10 minutes and 27 seconds elapsed.

Would creating this capabilities be difficult for someone with zero tech experience? Am I even in the right place to try and have this done?

This isn’t my exact invention so please try and refrain from giving opinions on its success.

Anyway, would it be possible to create a simple bracelet with a “tracker” inside that doesn’t actually track location, but instead is able to track each time a person goes in and out of a doorway. For instance, if I wanted to check how many times each person in my household is going in and out of my front door, could I have us each wear a bracelet then equipment some kind of sensor to the doorway and have this all be tracked.

If I wanted to create this invention, how much would I be looking at full cost?
