Method and system for arming a multi-layered security system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring the condition of a container, the system comprising:
- a container security device for securing the container;
wherein the container security device is programmably armed to implement the securing, the container security device being adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one condition;
a remote arming plug adapted to be removably coupled to the container security device; and
wherein the remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device, the remote arming plug being adapted to be applied as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container.

Abstract
A system monitors the condition of a container. A container security device secures the container. The container security device is programmably armed to implement the securing. The container security device is adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least the condition. A remote arming plug is adapted to be removably coupled to the container security device. The remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device. The remote arming plug is adapted to be applied as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container.

24. A method for monitoring the condition of a container, the method comprising:
-
securing the container with a container security device, the container security device being adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one condition; initiating, in response to a movement of a remote arming plug relative to the container security device, an arming sequence of the container security device, wherein the remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device; and applying the remote arming plug as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)

28. A remote arming plug storing a unique identifier to be communicated to a container security device of a container to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device, the remote arming plug comprising:
-
a communication element for communicating a unique identifier to the container security device; and a receiving aperture for receiving a securing element, wherein the securing element applies the remote arming plug as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method for monitoring the condition of a container, the method comprising:
-
receiving a container secured with a container security device, the container security device being adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one condition; verifying a unique identifier of a remote arming plug, wherein during shipment of the container the remote arming plug is applied as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container; and downloading, to the remote arming plug, data of the shipment from the container security device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)

37. A system for monitoring the condition of a container, the system comprising:
-
a container security device for securing at least one door of the container, wherein the container security device is programmably armed to implement the securing, the container security device being adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least one condition; a token to authenticate an authorized person to arm the container security device, the token communicating a unique identifier to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device; and a remote arming plug adapted to be removably coupled to the token, wherein the remote arming plug has the unique identifier to be communicated to the token, the remote arming plug being adapted to be applied as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container.
