Immediate alert for tracking movement via wireless tethered devices
First Claim
1. An immediate alert notification system via wireless tethered devices, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
an application stored in the memory that when executed on the processor;
receives a first message from a first mobile device,determines that the first message indicates that a slave device is within range of a first master device associated with the first mobile device,determines that the slave device is not associated with the first master device and is associated with a second master device,determines that the slave device was previously reported as lost, andsends a second message to a second mobile device associated with the second master device, the second message advising that the slave device has been located and further providing recovery information for the slave device,wherein the system further comprises;
the slave device that broadcasts wireless signals; and
the second master device that;
receives the wireless signals,analyzes at least signal strength of the wireless signals,determines, based on the analyzed at least signal strength, that signal strength is below a predetermined threshold, andactivates an alert, based on the determination;
wherein the second master device passively monitors received wireless signals and does not transmit signals to the slave device.

Abstract
An immediate alert notification system via wireless tethered devices is provided. The system comprises a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory that when executed on the processor receives a first message from a first mobile device. The system also determines that the first message indicates that a slave device is within range of a first master device associated with the first mobile device. The system also determines that the slave device is not associated with the first master device and is associated with a second master device and determines that the slave device was previously reported as lost. The system also sends a second message to a second mobile device associated with the second master device, the second message advising that the slave device has been located and further providing recovery information for the slave device.

10. An immediate alert notification system via wireless tethered devices, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory; and an application stored in the memory that when executed on the processor; receives a first message from a first mobile device, determines that the first message indicates that a slave device is within range of a first master device associated with the first mobile device, determines that the slave device is not associated with the first master device and is associated with a second master device, determines that the slave device was previously reported as lost, and sends a second message to a second mobile device associated with the second master device, the second message advising that the slave device has been located and further providing recovery information for the slave device, wherein the first mobile device further receives an instruction to configure the first master device to monitor a second slave device, wherein the first master device is presently configured to monitor a third slave device; the mobile device sends a third message to the first master device, the third message identifying the second slave device and configuring at least settings on the first master device to process wireless signals broadcasted from the second slave device and for alerts to be emitted by the first master device upon certain movements of the second slave device in addition to movements of the third slave device as previously configured; and the mobile device receiving a fourth message from the first master device confirming receipt of the third message and confirming implementation and storage of the settings, wherein the first master device passively monitors received wireless signals from the second slave device and the third slave device and does not transmit signals to the second and third slave devices, and wherein the first and second mobile devices are smartphones. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
