Abstract
Techniques are described for moving asset location tracking and monitoring system technology. A system monitors for events related to a monitoring system that monitors a fixed property and the system detects an event related to the monitoring system based on the monitoring. The system performs an operation that leverages geographic location tracking of at least one mobile asset associated with the fixed property based on the detected event.
Claims19
A system for monitoring a fixed property, the system comprising:
- a fixed sensor that is located at the fixed property and that is configured to generate fixed sensor data that reflects an attribute of the fixed property;
- a mobile sensor that is configured to generate mobile sensor data that reflects a location of a mobile asset;
- an additional mobile sensor that is configured to generate additional mobile sensor data that reflects a location of an additional mobile asset;
- and
- a monitor control unit that is configured to:
- receive, from the fixed sensor, the fixed sensor data;
- based on the fixed sensor data, determine that an event has occurred at the fixed property and that a resident is located at the fixed property;
- determine that the mobile asset is associated with the event;
- based on the mobile asset being associated with the event, select, from among multiple periodic frequencies, a periodic frequency for the mobile sensor to transmit the mobile sensor data;
- based on the resident being located at the fixed property, select, from among multiple tracking scales, a tracking scale for the mobile sensor to generate the mobile sensor data;
- transmit, to the mobile sensor, instructions to generate the mobile sensor data at the selected tracking scale and transmit the mobile sensor data at the selected periodic frequency;
- receive, from the fixed sensor, additional fixed sensor data;
- based on the additional fixed sensor data, determine that the event continues to occur at the fixed property and that the resident is away from the fixed property;
- determine that the additional mobile asset is not associated with the event;
- based on the additional mobile asset not being associated with the event, select, from among the multiple periodic frequencies, an additional periodic frequency for the additional mobile sensor to transmit the additional mobile sensor data;
- based on the resident being away from the fixed property, select, from among the multiple tracking scales, an additional tracking scale for the additional mobile sensor to generate the additional mobile sensor data;
- and
- transmit, to the additional mobile sensor, additional instructions to generate the additional mobile sensor data at the selected additional tracking scale and transmit the additional mobile sensor data at the selected additional periodic frequency.

- based on the additional mobile asset not being associated with the event, selecting, by the monitoring system and from among the multiple periodic frequencies, an additional periodic frequency for an additional mobile sensor to transmit additional mobile sensor data that reflects a location of the additional mobile asset;
- based on the resident being away from the fixed property, selecting, by the monitoring system and from among the multiple tracking scales, an additional tracking scale for the additional mobile sensor to generate the additional mobile sensor data;
- and
- transmitting, by the monitoring system and to the additional mobile sensor, additional instructions to generate the additional mobile sensor data at the selected additional tracking scale and transmit the additional mobile sensor data at the selected additional periodic frequency.
