SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF TRACKING SMART LUGGAGE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- an accelerator sensor system associated with a piece of luggage identifying when the piece of luggage has exited an aircraft; and
responsive to identifying that the piece of luggage has exited the aircraft, the accelerator sensor system transmitting a first signal to a tracking sensor system associated with the piece of luggage,wherein the first signal includes instructions for the tracking sensor system to exit a low sleep state.

Abstract
Systems and methods of causing a tracking sensor system in smart luggage to exit a low power sleep state are provided. Some methods can include an accelerator sensor system associated with the luggage identifying when the luggage has exited an aircraft, and responsive thereto, the accelerator sensor system transmitting a signal to the tracking sensor system associated with the luggage with instructions for the tracking sensor system to exit a low sleep state. In some embodiments identifying when the luggage has exited the aircraft can include identifying a trajectory of the luggage, identifying that the luggage is moved along a path with a predetermined curved shape, or identifying that the luggage is moved along a baggage conveyer belt.

8. A system comprising:
-
a transceiver; an accelerometer associated with a piece of luggage; a programmable processor; and executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the accelerometer, the programmable processor, and the executable control software identify when the piece of luggage has exited an aircraft, wherein, responsive to the accelerometer, the programmable processor, and the executable control software identifying when the piece of luggage has exited the aircraft, the programmable processor and the executable control software transmit a first signal, via the transceiver, to a tracking sensor system associated with the piece of luggage, and wherein the first signal includes instructions for the tracking sensor system to exit a low power sleep state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20)
