SENSOR ZONE MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for using tracking information of one or more shipments to update shipping information, the method comprising the steps, performed by a computer, of:
- periodically detecting, by a sensor device, sensor information of an item;
periodically transmitting the sensor information by the sensor device;
receiving the sensor information at a tracking center;
storing the sensor information in a database;
reviewing the stored sensor information; and
using the stored sensor information to update shipment information for a package.
