Intelligent remote location system
First Claim
1. A remote location system for communicating physical location information between a movable remote location device that generates such location information and a location service comprising at least one remote location device having detecting means for receiving signal information and for computing a physical location of said remote location device, communication means for communicating said location information to said service and from said service to a user of said service, and intelligent location agent means for selectively defining said location information in terms of physical location event data to be communicated to said locator service.

Abstract
A remote location system for communicating location information between a movable remote location device that generates such location information and a location service includes at least one remote location device having detecting means for determining a location of a remote location device, communication capability for communicating the location information to the service and from the service to a user of the service, and intelligent location agent means in the form of algorithms for selectively defining location information in terms of location event data to be communicated to the locator service. The intelligent location agent algorithms define location event data to include a remote locator device crossing a specified boundary as established by the location service; traveling a specified distance from a prior location; and exceeding a specified velocity.

- 11. A remote location system for communicating physical location information between a movable remote location device that generates such location information and a location service comprising a plurality of remote location devices each having detecting means for receiving signal information and for computing the physical location of a said remote location device, communication means for communicating said location information to said location service from each said remote location device and from said location service to a user of said location service, and program means for selectively defining said location information in terms of physical location event data to be communicated to said location service and under what circumstances said data is communicated from said service to a user of said service.
- 21. A remote location system for communicating physical location information between a movable remote location device that generates such location information and a location service comprising at least one remote location device having detecting means for receiving signal information and for computing a physical location of a said remote location device identified by said system and memory for storing said location information, communication means for communicating said location information to said location service and from said service to a user of said location service, and intelligent location agent means for selectively defining said location information in terms of physical location event data to be communicated to said locator service.
