1. A location tracking method, comprising:
- receiving first user input that is specified in a first user interface, wherein said first user input enables definition of a perimeter associated with a destination location;
receiving, via a communication satellite, a no-motion position report from an asset, said no-motion position report being transmitted when it is determined that said asset has achieved a stopped condition, wherein a no-motion position report from an asset located inside said defined perimeter is based on an analysis of a first non-zero amount of time that said asset is moving while inside said defined perimeter and a second amount of time that said asset is stationary at a location inside said defined perimeter;
determining, based on location information contained in said no-motion position report, whether said stopped condition occurs inside said perimeter; and
sending a notification message to a user when it is determined that said stopped condition occurs inside said perimeter.

Abstract
A satellite aided location tracking and data services with user interface. A graphical user interface is provided that enables users to monitor the status of movable assets. Detailed information in a position history enables the user to obtain status information (e.g., starts and stops) at each position report. This status information promotes visibility into the journey of each movable asset.

8. A location tracking method, comprising:
-
transmitting first information that enables a user device to display a first user interface, said first user interface enabling a user to enter first user input that enables an identification of an asset; and transmitting second information that enables a user device to display a position history of said asset, said position history including a plurality of positions of said asset, wherein a first of said plurality of positions has an associated indication that said asset has stopped, wherein said associated indication that said asset has stopped is based on an analysis during a predefined time period of a first non-zero amount of time that said asset is moving and a second amount of time that said asset is stationary. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
