Method and system for controlling a valuable movable item
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a valuable movable item comprising:
- detecting motion of said valuable movable item using an initiating device coupled with said valuable movable item, said initiating device comprising;
a controller;
a position determining component coupled with said controller; and
a motion detecting component coupled with said controller;
ascertaining a geographic location of said valuable movable item in response to said detecting motion;
determining if said geographic location is within a pre-defined zone; and
generating a command for controlling said valuable movable item in response to said determining.

Abstract
One embodiment in accordance with the invention can include a controller that can be coupled with a position determining component, and a motion detecting component. In one embodiment, the motion detecting component detects motion of a valuable movable item and generates a signal to the controller indicating the motion. The controller, in response to the signal, causes the position determining component to determine the geographic location of the valuable movable item. A determination is made as to whether the geographic location is within a pre-defined zone. In response to the determination, a command can be generated for controlling the valuable movable item.
