1. A method of registering usage data of a device in a building, comprising the steps, performed by a mobile communication device, of:
establishing a local wireless connection with a communication module of the device, the wireless connection comprising a wireless personal area network (WPAN) compliant connection;
defining a usage event of the device, comprising at least location data, time data, status data, and user data;
establishing a remote wireless connection with a remote central data processing unit for logging the usage event in a usage database, the remote wireless connection comprising at least one of a data link over a mobile telecommunications network and a data link over a wireless local area network (WLAN) link; and
forwarding the usage event to the remote central data processing unit, wherein the step of forwarding the usage event to the remote central data processing unit is initiated after the usage event is defined;
wherein the device comprises a vibration sensor, and wherein the local wireless connection between the mobile communication device and the communication module of the device is established on the device when the vibration sensor detects movement of the device.
