System and method for managing communication of a moveable entity for energy conservation
First Claim
1. A method for managing communication of a moveable entity having a global positioning device including a communication module and a position information module, the method comprising:
- monitoring for an entity engine sensor signal when the moveable entity is powered off;
switching the global positioning device from a work mode to a sleep mode, including shutting down the communication module and the position information module;
utilizing a timer to activate the communication module after a pre-determined period of time while the position information module remains shut down;
monitoring for at least one signal from other components of the entity;
determining if a predetermined event happens; and

Abstract
A system and method for managing communication of a movable entity is provided. The system comprises a chargeable power source, at least one sensor unit which is connected with the movable entity, and a global positioning device which is powered by the chargeable power source and is connected with the movable entity, wherein the global positioning device is used to track moveable entity status in response to sensor data received from said at least one sensor unit, the global positioning device is configured to execute a power saving mode based on moveable entity status information. The system and method save electric energy consumption of a battery for the GPS device by the mode switching between a sleep mode and a work mode, and judgment on the predetermined event provided may help to prevent the machine from being stolen.
