METHOD OF CONFIGURING A TRACKING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a tracking device, wherein the tracking device is comprised of a GPS receiver, a tracking device communication device and a microcontroller, comprising the following steps:
- (a) accessing a tracking device management system comprising a tracking system server and a database with a terminal through a management system communication interface by undergoing a login procedure;
(b) selecting a desired configuration option from a plurality of configuration options provided by the tracking system server;
(c) requesting, from the tracking system server, tracking device configuration settings pertaining to the tracking device for the desired configuration option;
(d) transmitting the tracking device configuration settings from the database to the terminal;
(e) displaying the tracking device configuration settings at the terminal;
(f) modifying the tracking device configuration settings at the terminal to produce modified tracking device configuration settings;
(g) transmitting the modified tracking device configuration settings from the terminal to the tracking device management system through the management system communication interface; and
(h) transmitting a command from the tracking device management system to the tracking device through a tracking device communication link to configure the tracking device to reflect the modified tracking device configuration settings.

Abstract
A method of configuring a tracking device including accessing a tracking device management system comprising a tracking system server and a database with a terminal through a management system communication interface. A desired configuration option is selected from a plurality of configuration options provided by the tracking system server and the tracking device configuration settings are requested from the tracking system server for the desired configuration option. The configuration settings are transmitted from the database to the terminal for display. Further, the configuration settings are modified at the terminal to produce modified configuration settings and transmitted to the tracking device management system through the management system communication interface. A command is then transmitted from the tracking device management system to the tracking device through a tracking device communication link to configure the tracking device to reflect the modified configuration settings.
