DEVICE TRACKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A device tracking system, comprising:
- a theft tracking device configured for permanently securing to an item that has the propensity to be stolen, the theft tracking device comprising a theft tracking processor and a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) module, the theft tracking processor configured for receiving ping data and in response transmitting response data via the Wi-Fi module;
a remote locator device comprising a case, the case comprising a plug for securing the remote locator device to a power receptacle, the remote locator device comprising a remote locator processor and a Wi-Fi module, the remote locator processor configured for periodically transmitting a ping to the theft tracking device and receiving the response data from the theft tracking device, the processor further configured for transmitting data indicating that the theft tracking device is not responding via a network when a response is not received from the tracking device; and
at least one server comprising a server processor, the at least one server communicatively coupled to the remote locator device, the server processor configured for receiving the data indicating that the theft tracking device is not responding, the server processor further configured to transmit location data periodically that shows a location of the item and displays the location to a user.

Abstract
A device tracking system of the present disclosure has a theft tracking device that permanently secures to an item that has the propensity to be stolen, the theft tracking device has a theft tracking processor and a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) module, and the theft tracking processor receives ping data and in response transmits response data via the Wi-Fi module. The system also has a remote locator device that has a case and that has a plug for securing the remote locator device to a power receptacle. The remote locator device also has a remote locator processor and a Wi-Fi module, and the remote locator processor periodically transmits a ping to the theft tracking device and receives the response data from the theft tracking device. The processor further transmits data indicating that the theft tracking device is not responding via a network when a response is not received from the tracking device. The system also has at least one server comprising a server processor that is communicatively coupled to the remote locator device, and the server processor receives the data indicating that the theft tracking device is not responding. Further, the server processor transmits location data periodically that shows a location of the item and displays the location to a user.
