System and method for tracking of deployed units
First Claim
1. A tracker apparatus for tracking deployable units, comprising:
- a first sensor group having a first power consumption profile;
a second sensor group having a second power consumption profile, wherein each of the first power consumption profile and the second power consumption profile has a respective total power consumption, wherein each of the first power consumption profile and the second power consumption profile is associated with a respective operating mode of the tracking apparatus;
a communication circuit having a first network interface for communicating with a control server;
an energy storage;
a processing circuitry; and
a memory, wherein the memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the tracker apparatus to;
trigger the processing circuitry to awaken from a low power mode in response to a first input from a first sensor of the first sensor group exceeding a first threshold;
activate a second sensor of the second sensor group in response to the first input corresponding to an unauthorized movement;
activate a tracking mode of the tracker apparatus, in response to a second input from the second sensor corresponding to an unauthorized movement;
send an alert to the control server in response to a detection of unauthorized movement; and
return to the low power mode in response to receiving, from the control server, an instruction, from a user node, indicating that the unauthorized movement is authorized.

Abstract
A tracker apparatus, and method for tracking deployable units. The tracker apparatus includes a first sensor group having a first power consumption profile; a second sensor group having a second power consumption profile; a communication circuit having a first network interface for communicating with a control server; an energy storage; a processing circuitry; and a memory, wherein the memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the tracker apparatus to: trigger the processing circuitry to awaken from a low power mode in response to a first input from a first sensor of the first sensor group exceeding a first threshold; activate a second sensor of the second sensor group in response to the first input corresponding to an unauthorized movement; and activate a tracking mode of the tracker apparatus, in response to a second input from the second sensor corresponding to an unauthorized movement.
