Abstract
A system, including, associating a wireless tracker with an asset, wherein the wireless tracker emits a tracker identification and a sensor payload including a fixed identification, receiving by at least one of a plurality of mobile devices the tracker identification, the sensor payload and an associated location of the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices and monitoring the tracker identification and the associated location of the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a code via a wireless tracker co-located with an asset at a shipment origin;
- receiving, by at least one of a plurality of mobile devices, an identification of the wireless tracker and a sensor payload as the asset and wireless tracker are moved from one location to another location;
- forwarding the tracker identification, the sensor payload, and an associated location of the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices to a server;
- receiving another code at the wireless tracker at a shipment destination;
- and
- transmitting a notification via the wireless tracker to the server to verify a chain of custody of the shipment when the another code was received by an authentication module of the wireless tracker within a time threshold and a distance threshold of the shipment destination.
A system, comprising:
- a server;
- a wireless tracker configured to receive a code at a shipment origin;
- a mobile device configured to
- receive an identification of the wireless tracker and a sensor payload as the asset and wireless tracker are moved from one location to another location;
- forward the tracker identification, the sensor payload, and an associated location of the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices to a server;
- wherein the wireless tracker is configured to receive another code at a shipment destination and transmit a notification via the wireless tracker to the server to verify a chain of custody of the shipment when the another code was received by an authentication module of the wireless tracker within a time threshold and a distance threshold of the shipment destination.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- receiving a code via a wireless tracker co-located with an asset at a shipment origin;
- receiving, by at least one of a plurality of mobile devices, an identification of the wireless tracker and a sensor payload as the asset and wireless tracker are moved from one location to another location;
- forwarding the tracker identification, the sensor payload, and an associated location of the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices to a server;
- receiving another code at the wireless tracker at a shipment destination;
- and
- transmitting a notification via the wireless tracker to the server to verify a chain of custody of the shipment when the another code was received by an authentication module of the wireless tracker within a time threshold and a distance threshold of the shipment destination.
