Physical Event Management During Asset Tracking
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving milestone data for an asset, the milestone data identifying one or more milestones in a journey of the asset, each milestone having an associated location;
receiving an event notification from a tag coupled to the asset, the event notification describing a physical state of the asset;
determining that there is a problem in the shipment of the asset from the milestone data and the physical state of the asset;
generating a warning notification, the warning notification warning of the problem in the shipment of the asset.

Abstract
Techniques for physical event management while tracking physical assets are disclosed. In one aspect, data identifying locations of interest in a journey of an asset is received. A position fix for the asset is received and a determination is made that the asset is within a location of interest. In another aspect, data identifying one or more milestones in a journey of the asset is received. An event notification is received from a tag coupled to the asset, and it is determined that there is a problem in the shipment of the asset. In yet another aspect, data identifying one or more actions that should be taken after events of interest in a journey of the asset is received. An event notification is received from a tag coupled to the asset, and it is determined that a particular action should be taken.

13. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer readable medium coupled to the processor and including instructions, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving milestone data for an asset, the milestone data identifying one or more milestones in a journey of the asset, each milestone having an associated location; receiving an event notification from a tag coupled to the asset, the event notification describing a physical state of the asset; determining that there is a problem in the shipment of the asset from the milestone data and the physical state of the asset; generating a warning notification, the warning notification warning of the problem in the shipment of the asset.

14. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving dependent process data for an asset, the dependent process data identifying one or more actions that should be taken after events of interest in a journey of the asset; receiving an event notification from a tag coupled to the asset, the event notification describing a physical state of the asset; determining, from the event notification that an event has occurred, and then determining, from the dependent process data that a particular action should be taken; and generating an action notification, the action notification indicating that the particular action should be taken. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
