Abstract

Described is a method including receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region, inserting the initial location values into a web-based document, and rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document. Further described is a device including a communication interface receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region, a display displaying an image of the monitored region, and a processor inserting the initial location values into a web-based document and rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document. The icon represents a location of the asset within the monitored region.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region;

inserting the initial location values into a web-based document; and

rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document, wherein the icon represents a location of the asset within the monitored region on a display.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving further location values from the asset;

inserting the further location values into the web-based document; and

rendering a current position of the icon on the web-based document.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the web-based document is writing in one of HyperText Markup Language (“

HTML”

), JavaScript, Extensible Markup Language (“

XML”

), Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (“

AJAX”

), and Cascading Style Sheets (“

CSS”

).

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the web-based document includes a plurality of Meta tags specifying the initial and current location values of the asset within the display.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the initial and current location values include at least one of a latitude value, a longitude value, and an altitude value.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the altitude value is represented by one of a predetermined color and a predetermined brightness level of the icon on the web-based document.

7. A device, comprising:

a communication interface receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region a display displaying an image of the monitored region; and

a processor inserting the initial location values into a web-based document and rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document, wherein the icon represents a location of the asset within the monitored region.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein the communication interface receives further location values from the asset, and the processor inserts the further location values into the web-based document and renders a current position of the icon on the web-based document.

9. The device of claim 7, wherein the web-based document is writing in one of HyperText Markup Language (“

HTML”

), JavaScript, Extensible Markup Language (“

XML”

), Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (“

AJAX”

), and Cascading Style Sheets (“

CSS”

).

10. The device of claim 8, wherein the web-based document includes a plurality of Meta tags specifying the initial and current location values of the asset within the display.

11. The device of claim 8, wherein the initial and current location values include at least one of a latitude value, a longitude value, and an altitude value.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the altitude value is represented by one of a predetermined color and a predetermined brightness level of the icon on the web-based document.

13. A system, comprising:

a receiving means receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region;

an inserting means inserting the initial location values into a web-based document; and

a rendering means rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document, wherein the icon represents a location of the asset within the monitored region on a display.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the receiving means receives further location values from the asset;

and the inserting means inserts the further location values into the web-based document; and

the rendering means renders a current position of the icon on the web-based document.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the web-based document is writing in one of HyperText Markup Language (“

HTML”

), JavaScript, Extensible Markup Language (“

XML”

), Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (“

AJAX”

), and Cascading Style Sheets (“

CSS”

).

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the web-based document includes a plurality of Meta tags specifying the initial and current location values of the asset within the display.

17. The system of claim 14, wherein the initial and current location values include at least one of a latitude value, a longitude value, and an altitude value.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the altitude value is represented by one of a predetermined color and a predetermined brightness level of the icon on the web-based document.
