Abstract
A tracking device and system are described where a location data collector device to receive location data of the tracking device and one or more communication devices that send the location data to a central facility and that receives a defined location package that includes location information where the tracking device is placed in either a suspension or active tracking mode.
Claims24
A tracking device system, the system comprising:
- a storage device configured to store location data collected by a location data collector associated with a tracking device;
- a processor and memory configure to:
- retrieve a set of location data of the tracking device;
- determine from the set of location data whether the tracking device is in one of one or more defined zones, and configuring the processor to:
- at least partially suspend tracking according to a first determination that the tracking device is in the one or more defined zones;
- and
- continue tracking according to a second, different determination that the tracking device is not in the one or more defined zones.
4 more elements
A tracking system comprises:
- a central monitoring facility that stores data from plural tracking devices, the central monitoring facility comprising a processor and memory and is configured to:
- download to a tracking device data that defines one or more tracking suspension zones to configure a processor in the tracking device to at least partially suspend tracking when the tracking device is in one of the one or more defined zones;
- receive a set of location data from the tracking device;
- detect that the tracking device suspended sending location data to the central monitoring facility;
- determine from the received location data whether the tracking device system is in one of the one or more suspend zones;
- and when the tracking device is in one of the one or more zones
- record that the tracking device is in a suspend tracking zone;
- and when the tracking device is not in one of the one or more zones
- record a tracking violation by the tracking device.
6 more elements
A tracking method comprises:
- storing location data from plural tracking devices, in a central monitoring facility that comprises a processor and memory and computer storage;
- downloading to a first tracking device of the plural tracking devices, data that defines one or more tracking suspension zones for the tracking device;
- downloading to the first tracking device instructions to configure a processor in the tracking device to at least partially suspend tracking when the tracking device is in one of the one or more defined zones;
- receiving location data from the tracking device;
- detecting that the tracking device has suspended sending location data;
- determining from the received location data whether the tracking device system is in one of the one or more suspend zones;
- and when in one of the one or more zones
- recording in a database in the central facility that the tracking device was in a suspend tracking zone when the central monitoring facility detected that the tracking device suspended sending data;
- and when the tracking device not in one of the one or more zones
- record in a database in the central facility that the tracking device incurred a tracking violation.

A tracking device comprises:
- a location data collector device to receive location data of the tracking device;
- one or more communication devices that send the location data to a central facility and that receives a defined location package that includes location information where the tracking device is placed in either a suspension or active tracking mode;
- a processor and memory in communication with the processor, the processor configured to:
- store location data collected by the location data collector device;
- configure the processor to at least partially suspend tracking when the processor determines that tracking device is in a suspension zone determined from comparing the location information in the defined location package to location data receive from the location data collector device;
- cause the tracking device to suspend sending location data to the central monitoring facility based on determining from the received location data and the location information in the defined location package that the tracking device system is in the suspension zone;
- and
- record that the tracking device was in the suspension zone when sending of data was suspended.
