Patent Images
1. A tracking apparatus for use in monitoring the location of high-value items and recovering stolen items, the apparatus comprising:
- a bait package containing;
a tracking module, including a microprocessor and computer memory, and enabled for connection with a cellular network and enabled for reception of Global Positioning System (GPS) information;
an induction receiver electrically connected to the tracking module; and
a battery electrically connected to the tracking module; and
an induction transmitter configured for inducing a charging current in the induction receiver, when the induction transmitter and induction receiver are sufficiently proximate one to the other;
wherein, in use, the bait package may be located so as to bring the induction transmitter and induction receiver into sufficient proximity to induce a charging current in the induction receiver, so as to maintain a desirable state of charge in the battery.
