First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for determining an unreported event status change for an asset:
- at an asset management system, receiving a position of an asset from a reporting source coupled with said asset, said position associated with a particular time by said reporting source;
comparing said position to a previous position of said asset, said previous position associated with a previous time earlier than said particular time; and
based upon said comparing of said position to said previous position, determining if an unreported event status change has occurred for said asset.

Abstract
In a method for determining an unreported event status change for an asset, an asset management system receives a position of an asset from a reporting source coupled with the asset. The position is associated with a particular time by the reporting source. The position is compared to a previous position of the asset, the previous position being associated with a previous time that is earlier than the particular time. Based upon the comparing of the position to the previous position, it is determined if an unreported event status change has occurred for the asset.

9. A computer implemented method for issuing a status alert regarding an asset, said method comprising:
-
maintaining an alert reporting criterion for triggering a status alert associated with an asset; receiving an event status of said asset, said event status reflecting a likely event status of said asset as determined from position reports received regarding said asset; comparing said event status to said alert reporting criterion; and issuing said status alert regarding said asset if said event status satisfies said alert reporting criterion. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An asset management system comprising:
-
a data receiver for receiving reported information from a wireless reporting source coupled with an asset; a database coupled with said data receiver, said database for storing said reported information and storing a maintained event status of said asset; and an unreported event status change determiner coupled with said database and configured for determining if an unreported event status change has occurred for said asset. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
