Method and apparatus for making status reporting devices for container handlers
DCFirst Claim
1. An apparatus for making a status reporting device for a container handler, comprising:
- means for providing a micro-controller module communicatively coupled with a means for wirelessly communicating and communicatively coupled with a means for sensing a state of said container handler; and
means for installing a program system into a memory accessibly coupled to a computer directing said micro-controller module;
wherein said program system comprises program steps residing in said memory, of;
using said means for sensing said state of said container handler to create a sensed state; and
using said means for wirelessly communicating to communicate said sensed state and said location of said container handler;
wherein said container handler moves a container at least twenty foot in length.

Abstract
A mechanism and method for making status reporting devices for container handlers, including: providing a micro-controller module, and installing a program system into memory accessed by a computer directing the micro-controller module. The micro-controller module communicatively couples with means for wirelessly communicating and for sensing a state of the container handler. Means for wirelessly communicating may include means for wirelessly determining container handler location. The micro-controller module may be communicatively coupled to a separate means for determining location. An apparatus making the devices may include a second program system directing the invention'"'"'s method through a second computer, which may control an assembly device in creating the micro-controller, coupled with the means for sensing and for wirelessly communicating.

51. A method of making a status reporting device for a container handler, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a micro-controller module communicatively coupled with a means for wirelessly communicating and communicatively coupled with a means for sensing a state of said container handler; and installing a program system into a memory accessibly coupled to a computer directing said micro-controller module; wherein said program system comprises program steps residing in said memory, of; using said means for sensing said state of said container handler to create a sensed state; and using said means for wirelessly communicating to communicate said sensed state of said container handler; wherein said container handler moves a container at least twenty foot in length. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99)
