System and Method for Remote Asset Management
First Claim
1. A remote asset management method comprising:
- providing a network of programmable wireless modules, each programmable wireless module having an antenna and an identification module and configured to communicate via a radio communication protocol;
providing a plurality of fixed or moveable assets each linked to one of said programmable wireless modules;
providing a remote system server service platform, the remote system server service platform configured to (1) receive and process remote asset data, contained within at least one data message, from at least one of said programmable wireless modules, (2) communicate with at least one selected from the group consisting of at least one programmable wireless module, at least one fixed or mobile subscriber number, and at least one IP address or Email address in response to receiving each of said data messages, (3) send messages to at least one of said programmable wireless modules, and (4) monitor the programmable wireless modules by requesting and receiving current mode information;
communicating with said network of programmable wireless modules by said remote system server service platform to manage the operation of said linked assets; and
configuring each programmable wireless module within said network of programmable wireless modules, wherein each programmable wireless module comprises a data processing module, the data processing module configured to (1) process one or more messages received by each of said programmable wireless modules, (2) authenticate whether said one or more messages were sent by a server service platform, (3) analyse authenticated messages, and (4) carry out asset management instructions included in the messages.

Abstract
A remote asset management system comprising a network of programmable wireless modules, each having an antenna and an identification module and configured to communicate via a radio communication protocol. The system further includes a plurality of assets each linked to one of the wireless modules and configured to be managed by the linked wireless module. A remote system server service platform is configured to receive remote asset data from the wireless modules, pass the remote asset data to and from the wireless modules, send messages to at least one of the wireless modules, monitor the wireless modules by requesting and receiving current mode information, and remotely program the wireless modules. A data processing module located within the wireless module(s) and configured to process messages received by the wireless module, authenticate said message, analyze authenticated messages, and carry out asset management instructions included in the message.
