First Claim
1. A monitoring system comprising:
- a container that houses contents therein; and
a sensor device attached to said container, wherein said sensor device comprises;
at least one sensor that collects past and present data of said container, wherein the data comprises container content identification data, container geographic location data, container motion data, evidence of container tampering data, and biometric data of individuals handling said container;
a processor operatively connected to said at least one sensor, wherein said processor communicates said data to a user;
a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter that receives and transmits data in said sensor device and between;
various said at least one sensor;
at least one data input comprising an external sensor port, an accelerometer, a tamper detector, a fingerprint recorder; and
said processor;
a display driver operatively connected to said processor;
a liquid crystal display controlled by said display driver; and
a real-time clock that records a date/time stamp of a user input to said sensor device.

Abstract
A monitoring system and method comprises a container adapted to house contents therein and a sensor device attached to the container, wherein the sensor device comprises at least one sensor that collects past and present data of the container, wherein the data comprises container content identification data, container geographic location data, container motion data, evidence of container tampering data, and biometric data of individuals handling the container; and a processor operatively connected to the at least one sensor and adapted to communicate the data to any of a user and a remote storage device. The processor is adapted to communicate the data into a language of choice of the user. The sensor device comprises an identification code, wherein the processor is adapted to regulate types of services the container is eligible to receive based on the identification code.
