System and Method for Reporting a Status of an Asset
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A reporting method in a mobile terminal system on an asset, comprising:
- a. during a time period that begins after a detected transition from a first operational condition to a second operational condition of the transport vehicle, determining an amount of time in said time period that the transport vehicle remained in said first operational condition; and
b. transmitting a status report to a site remote from the transport vehicle if said determined amount of time is less than a threshold.

9. A reporting method in a mobile terminal affixed to an asset, comprising:
-
a. detecting a change from a first operational condition to a second operational condition of the asset; and b. after a time period has elapsed after said detected change, reporting a change in asset status to a remote location if it is determined that the transport vehicle remained in said second operational condition for greater than a predefined percentage of said time period. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A position reporting method in a mobile terminal system affixed to an asset, comprising:
-
a. receiving a configurable parameter at the mobile terminal system via satellite; and b. transmitting a status report to a site remote from the asset if it is determined that the asset remained in a second operational condition for greater than a percentage of a predefined time period that begins after detection of a change from a first operational condition to said second operational condition of the asset, said percentage being based on said received configurable parameter that is received via satellite. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
