SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCREMENTAL OBJECT TRACKING AND PROGRESSIVE REMITTANCE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for incremental object tracking and progressive remittance, comprising:
- receiving, at a shipping remittance processor, a checkpoint data packet including (1) location information determined from a tracker system within a handler device, and (2) tracking information of an object during shipment along a shipment route;
determining, via the shipping remittance processor, that the object has reached a checkpoint along the shipment route, the checkpoint being located between a beginning and end of the shipment route, the shipment route including multiple checkpoints for the handler;
upon determining that the object has reached the checkpoint, outputting a remittance indication indicating that a portion of a total delivery remittance is to be distributed to a handler account.

Abstract
A shipping remittance processor may receive periodic checkpoint data packets during shipping of an object, via a handler, along a shipping route. The shipping remittance processor may then analyze tracking information located in the checkpoint data packet to determine if the tracking information is authentic, and if the object has reached a checkpoint along the shipping route. If the object has reached the checkpoint, the shipping remittance processor may output a remittance indication indicating to output a portion of the total delivery remittance to the handler'"'"'s remittance account.

14. A system for incremental object tracking and progressive remittance, comprising:
-
a memory storing a checkpoint schedule defining checkpoints for an object traveling along a shipping route; a shipping remittance processor adapted to execute non-transitory computer readable instructions to; receive a checkpoint data packet including (1) location information determined from a tracker system within a handler device, and (2) tracking information of the object during shipment along the shipping route, the shipping route including multiple checkpoints for the handler; compare the tracking information with the checkpoint schedule to determine if the object has reached one of the checkpoints, and output a remittance indication indicating that a portion of a total delivery remittance is to be distributed to a handler remittance account. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A handler device for incremental object tracking and progressive remittance, comprising:
-
a memory storing a checkpoint schedule identifying shipping checkpoints along a shipping route for shipping an object, the shipping route including multiple checkpoints for the handler; a tracker for determining a real-time geographical location of the handler device; a handler processor in communication with the memory and tracker, the handler processor configured to analyze the checkpoint schedule and output, via an output device, a prompt to a user to obtain authentication information in response to the real-time geographical location matching one of the checkpoints; an input interface configured to receive the authentication information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
