Tracking Device Location Identification

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of a tracking device server, cause the processor to perform steps comprising:

• receiving, by a tracking server from a first mobile device in response to the first mobile device disconnecting from the tracking device, a location of the first mobile device when the tracking device disconnects from the first mobile device and a first timestamp of the disconnection;
• receiving, by the tracking server, a set of location updates, each location update including a location of a mobile device when the mobile device detects the tracking device and a timestamp of the detection;
• and
• determining, by the tracking server, a last known location of the tracking device by combining the location of the first mobile device and one or more of the locations included within the received location updates.

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the tracking server to perform steps comprising:
• receiving, from a first mobile device in response to the first mobile device disconnecting from the tracking device, a location of the first mobile device when the tracking device disconnects from the first mobile device and a first timestamp of the disconnection;
• receiving a set of location updates, each location update including a location of a mobile device when the mobile device detects the tracking device and a timestamp of the detection;
• and
• determining a last known location of the tracking device by combining the location of the first mobile device and one or more of the locations included within the received location updates;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions.
