Methodology to extend battery power in asset-tracking device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of using a data protocol for a wireless device, the data protocol comprising:
- determining a first location of the wireless device and saving the determined first location of the device;
determining a second location of the device subsequent to determining the first location and saving the determined second location of the device;
transmitting a data packet comprising the first location and the second location to a server;
mapping, at the server, the second location;
after mapping the second location, mapping, at the server, the first location;
running, at the server, a statistical algorithm on the mapped first location and the mapped second location to determine a precise location; and
reporting, by the server, the precise location.

Abstract
A protocol and methodology that extends the battery power in a remote asset tracking device by storing location data more than once (i.e., “n” times), yet transmitting that data only once to a server. In other words, multiple data points are transmitted simultaneously. Devices and systems incorporating the protocol are also provided.

1. A method of using a data protocol for a wireless device, the data protocol comprising:
-
determining a first location of the wireless device and saving the determined first location of the device; determining a second location of the device subsequent to determining the first location and saving the determined second location of the device; transmitting a data packet comprising the first location and the second location to a server; mapping, at the server, the second location; after mapping the second location, mapping, at the server, the first location; running, at the server, a statistical algorithm on the mapped first location and the mapped second location to determine a precise location; and reporting, by the server, the precise location. - View Dependent Claims (2)

3. A method of using a data protocol for a wireless device, the data protocol comprising:
-
sequentially determining “
n”
number of locations of a device and saving the “
n”
number of locations of the device in a data packet, where “
n”
is an integer two or greater;transmitting the data packet to a server; mapping, at the server in a reverse order of determining, the “
n”
number of locations from the data packet;reporting, by the server, the “
n”
mapped locations; andrunning, at the server, a statistical algorithm on the “
n”
mapped locations to determine a precise location. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)

7. An asset tracking system comprising:
-
a wireless tracking device comprising a GPS/GLONASS system, an RF communication module or a cellular communication module configured to transmit information to a remote server, non-volatile memory, and a control system comprising a data protocol; and an asset intelligence (AI) server; wherein the data protocol is configured to; determine “
n”
locations of the device and store those “
n”
locations in the memory,where “
n”
is an integer two or greater, andtransmit the stored “
n”
locations to the AI server as a batch;wherein the AI server is configured to; map, in a reverse order of determining, the “
n”
number of locations from the data packet, andrun a statistical algorithm on the “
n”
mapped locations to determine a precise location. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
