Object tracking method and system
First Claim
1. A system for tracking at least one object configured to be transported by at least one vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one computer system configured to;
receive data from a reader via a communication network, the data including information obtained from a tag placed on at least one of the at least one vehicle or the at least one object;
determine at least one location of the at least one vehicle based on the data received from the reader;
determine at least one location of the at least one object based on the data received from the reader;
determine at least one location of at least one geofence adjacent the at least one vehicle based on the at least one location of the at least one vehicle; and
determine whether the at least one object is located within the at least one geofence to determine whether a load of the at least one vehicle includes the at least one object.

Abstract
A system for tracking at least one object configured to be transported by at least one vehicle may include at least one computer system. The at least one computer system may be configured to determine at least one location of the at least one vehicle and determine at least one location of the at least one object. The at least one computer system may be further configured to determine at least one location of at least one geofence adjacent the at least one vehicle based on the at least one location of the at least one vehicle. Also, the at least one computer system may be configured to determine whether the at least one object is located within the at least one geofence to determine whether a load of the at least one vehicle includes the at least one object.

26. A method for tracking at least one shipment configured to be transported by at least one forklift, the method comprising:
-
receiving, using at least one computer system, data from a reader via a communication network, the data including information obtained from a tag placed on at least one of the at least one forklift or the at least one shipment; determining, using the at least one computer system, at least one location of the at least one forklift based on the data received from the reader; determining, using the at least one computer system, at least one location of the at least one shipment based on the data received from the reader; determining, using the at least one computer system, at least one location of at least one geofence in front of the forklift based on the at least one location of the at least one forklift; and determining, using the at least one computer system, whether the at least one shipment is located within the at least one geofence to determine whether a load of the at least one forklift includes the at least one shipment. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform a method for tracking at least one object configured to be transported by at least one vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving data, using at least one computer system, from a reader via a communication network, the data including information obtained from a tag placed on at least one of the at least one vehicle or the at least one object; determining, using the at least one computer system, at least one location of the at least one vehicle based on the data received from the reader; determining, using the at least one computer system, at least one location of the at least one object based on the data received from the reader; determining, using the at least one computer system, at least one location of at least one geofence adjacent the at least one vehicle based on the at least one location of the at least one vehicle; and determining, using the at least one computer system, whether a load of the at least one vehicle includes the at least one object based on whether the at least one object is located within the at least one geofence. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35)
