System and method for asset tracking configuration of a mobile terminal
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile terminal that enables asset tracking, comprising:
- a first position tracking module that collects measurements from a plurality of positioning satellites, said collected measurements being obtained for forwarding by said mobile terminal to a remote operations center for determination of a position of said mobile terminal;
a second position tracking module that determines a position of said mobile terminal locally at said mobile terminal; and
a controller that controls an activation of said second position tracking module based on an analysis of power availability or consumption by said mobile terminal.

Abstract
A system and method for asset tracking configuration of a mobile terminal. A mobile terminal can be designed to enable a remote determination of an asset position. In one embodiment, the mobile terminal can include a configured function that enables the mobile terminal to reconfigure mobile terminal operation (e.g., activation of a GPS engine).

12. A mobile terminal that enables asset tracking, comprising:
-
a position tracking module that collects measurements from a plurality of positioning satellites, said collected measurements being used to determine a position of said mobile terminal; a transmitter designed for transmission of position information based on said position tracking module measurements to an operations center; and a controller that controls an activation of said transmitter based on an analysis of a geographic cost function, said geographic cost function identifying first geographic areas in which said mobile terminal can transmit at a first interval rate, and second geographic areas in which said mobile terminal can transmit at a second interval rate different from said first interval rate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
