Abstract
A wireless device for facilitating for GPS-based asset tracking via a wireless communications network and a centralized management system. The wireless device includes dynamically configurable event profiles which allow the wireless device to be dynamically reconfigured and to perform certain actions based on a dynamically configurable combination of received events.
Claims20
A method of dynamically operating a locator device, comprising the steps of:
- a. defining a plurality of events where each of said events represents an operational status of said locator device;
- b. defining a plurality of triggers where each of said triggers is a dynamically configurable contemporaneously occurring combination of said events;
- c. defining a plurality of event profiles where each of said event profiles is a user-configurable dynamic association between
- i. one of said triggers;
- and
- ii. a dynamically configurable set of device commands;
- d. responding to a contemporaneously occurring subset of said events by evaluating said contemporaneously occurring subset of said events against said triggers of each of said event profiles;
- e. activating one of said event profiles by processing said set of device commands corresponding to said event profile whenever said contemporaneously occurring subset of said events corresponds to said trigger of said event profile.
