Abstract
A system for manipulating data is provided. Such a system comprises a host system, a discrete portable data acquisition device for collecting the data, at least one of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) data radio, a wireless local area network (WLAN) data radio, and a wireless personal area network (WPAN) data radio operably engaged with the portable data acquisition device and configured to at least one of transmit the data to the host system, communicate with a peripheral device, and receive data, and a memory operably engaged with the portable data acquisition device for storing the data, the memory comprising a FLASH memory module, a DRAM memory module, and an NVDRAM memory module. Associated systems, devices, and methods are also provided.

20. A system for collecting delivery data, the delivery data including at least one of time study statistics or work measurement statistics, associated with a driver of a delivery vehicle for a carrier, said system comprising:
-
a data acquisition device including a GPS sensor configured to determine GPS data;
at least one sensor operably engaged with the delivery vehicle and configured to sense the data acquisition device being within a proximity to at least one of the delivery vehicle or a selected location, said sensor further configured to determine particular data based at least in part on when the data acquisition device is within proximity to at least one of the delivery vehicle or the selected location; and
an application residing on the data acquisition device, the application being configured to selectively direct, in real time, reception and recordation of the GPS data from the GPS sensor and reception and recordation of the particular data from the at least one sensor. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
