Abstract
In some implementations, a wireless sensing system may receive sensor data associated with an asset. The sensor data may be associated with a tampering event and the tampering event may include an action performed on the asset. The wireless sensing system may further determine whether the tampering event is performed by an authorized user of the wireless sensing system. The wireless sensing system may further determine whether the tampering event is performed within an authorized location of the wireless sensing system. The wireless sensing system may transmit a notification to a user of the wireless sensing system. The notification may alert the user of the wireless sensing system that the tampering event has occurred.
Claims6
(canceled)
A method for operating a wireless sensing system including:
- a first tape node attached to a first parcel, the first tape node having a first type of wireless communication interface and a second type of wireless communication interface having a longer range than the first type of wireless communication interface, and a second tape node capable of communicating with the first tape node, the method comprising:
- establishing, by a server, a wireless communication connection with the second type of wireless communication interface of the first tape node;
- and
- designating, by the server, the first tape node as a master node of the second tape node.
