Method and devices for monitoring the position or modifying the position of an object
First Claim
1. A method for operating a mobile radio network, comprising the acts of:
- receiving first data from a first network access device of an object via a first communications link by at least one mobile radio base station;
detecting, based on the first data, at least one of a physical position and a change of physical position of the first network access device;
checking whether the detected at least one of the physical position and the change of physical position satisfies a predetermined criterion; and
outputting a predetermined signal if the checking indicates that the predetermined criterion is satisfied,wherein at least one of the detecting and checking is carried out by the at least one mobile radio base station, andwherein the predetermined criterion includes at least one of;
an absolute change in the detected physical position of the first network access device, a mobile radio network cell change for the first network access device, a mobile radio network cell change for the first network access device not authorized in advance, and unauthorized termination of the first communication link by the first network access device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for the technical monitoring of objects, in particular of vehicles, by a mobile radio network is provided. The method for operating a mobile radio network having one or a plurality of mobile radio base stations for monitoring the object includes a first network access device for the mobile radio network communicating with at least one of mobile radio base station, including the acts of receiving first data from the first network access device via the at least one mobile radio base station, detecting a physical position or a change of physical position of the object based on the first data, checking whether the detected position or position change meets a predetermined criterion, and, if the predetermined criterion is met, outputting a predetermined signal.

14. A monitoring device for an object, comprising:
-
a first network access device configured to communicate over a mobile radio network; and a control device communicates with the first network access device via a signal link; wherein the first network access device is configured to send first data associated with a physical position or a change of physical position of the object over the mobile radio network to at least one mobile radio base station of the mobile radio network, and wherein the control device is configured to process signals received via the first network access device and control at least one function of the object in response to a determination, by the at least one mobile radio base station and based on the processed signals, that the physical position or the change of physical position indicates satisfaction of a predetermined criteria, the predetermined criteria including at least one of;
an absolute change in the detected physical position of the first network access device, a mobile radio network cell change for the first network access device, a mobile radio network cell change for the first network access device not authorized in advance, and unauthorized termination of the first communication link by the first network access device. - View Dependent Claims (15)
