Abstract
A global resource locator (GRL) device can be used to identify a missing asset. The GRL device can include a memory device and a processor. The processor can be coupled to the memory device. The processor can be configured to receive a communication from one or more of a plurality of GRL devices proximate the GRL device. The processor can be configured to store data received from the plurality of GRL devices on the memory device. The processor can be configured to determine that a missing GRL device of the plurality of GRL devices is missing based at least in part upon subsequent communication with a subset of the plurality of GRL devices. The processor can be configured to transmit a notification that the missing GRL device is missing to a non-GRL receiving device.

(canceled)
A global resource locator (GRL) device for identifying a missing asset, comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory device, the processor being configured to:
- receive a communication from one or more of a plurality of GRL devices proximate the GRL device;
- store data received from the one or more of the plurality of GRL devices on the memory device;
- determine that a missing GRL device of the plurality of GRL devices is missing based at least in part upon subsequent communication with a subset of the plurality of GRL devices;
- and
- transmit a notification that the missing GRL device is missing to a non-GRL receiving device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a computing device, a communication from one or more of a plurality of global resource locator (GRL) devices proximate the computing device;
- storing, on a memory device associated with the computing device, data received from the plurality of GRL devices;
- determining, via the computing device, that a missing GRL device of the plurality of GRL devices is missing based at least on part upon subsequent communication with a subset of the plurality of GRL devices;
- and
- transmitting, via the computing device, a notification that the missing GRL device is missing to a non-GRL receiving device.
A method, comprising:
- communicating, via a particular global resource locator (GRL) device, with a plurality of GRL devices to form an asset collective;
- storing, via the particular GRL device, data received from the asset collective;
- determining, via the particular GRL device, a missing GRL device of the plurality of GRL devices in the asset collective is missing based at least on part upon a subsequent communication;
- and
- transmitting, via the particular GRL device, a notification that the missing GRL device is missing.
