Asset management system
First Claim
1. An asset management system comprising:
- at least one asset located within a geographic area;
a server configured to store data associated with the asset wherein the data includes an asset location, the server being updated with current asset data by at least one administrator and adapted to generate and integrate asset symbols with an electronic spatial illustration of the geographic area, wherein the location of the asset symbol on the spatial illustration corresponds to the location of the asset within the geographic area; and
a portable device communicative with the server and adapted to display the data generated by and stored on the server, the portable device adapted to receive inputs from a user, display data in response to the user inputs, and display the spatial illustration having the integrated asset symbols and asset locations.

Abstract
A system for managing assets includes at least one asset located within a geographic area and a server configured to store data associated with the assets. The server may be adapted to store data associated with the asset location and be updated with current asset data by at least one administrator. The server is further adapted to generate and integrate asset symbols within an electronic spatial illustration of the geographic area wherein the location of the asset symbol on the spatial illustration corresponds to the location of the asset within the geographic area. The system further includes a portable device that communicates with the server and is adapted to display the data generated by and stored on the server. The portable device is also adapted to receive inputs from a user, display data in response to the user inputs, and display the spatial illustration having the integrated asset symbols and asset locations.

18. A method of managing a system of assets wherein the system includes at least one asset located within a geographic area, the method comprising:
-
configuring a server to store data associated with the asset wherein the data includes an asset location;
updating the server with current asset data wherein the data is input by at least one administrator;
generating asset symbols and an electronic spatial illustration of the geographic area through the use of the server, wherein the location of the asset symbol on the spatial illustration corresponds to the location of the asset within the geographic area; and
displaying data generated by and stored on the server through the use of a portable device, the portable device being adapted to;
receive inputs from a user and transmit signals to the server that correspond to the user inputs, display data in response to the user inputs, and display the spatial illustration having the integrated asset symbols and asset locations. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
