Abstract
The luggage notification system is a security and tracking system that is adapted for use with a piece of luggage. Specifically, the luggage notification system: 1) monitors when the piece of luggage is accessed for security or other reasons, records the event and transmits a message announcing the event; and, 2) tracks the position of the piece of luggage. Optionally, the luggage notification system can further comprise a load cell to monitor the weight of the piece of luggage and a drive system that drives a plurality of rollers associated with the piece of luggage. The luggage notification system comprises a piece of luggage, a security system, a drive system, a weight system, and a control system.
Claims13
A security system comprising:
- a piece of luggage, a security system, a drive system, a weight system, and a control system;
- wherein the security system, a drive system, a weight system, and a control system are contained within and on the piece of luggage;
- wherein the security system is further adapted for use with a personal data device;
- wherein the security system monitors when the piece of luggage is accessed;
