Sensor based logistics system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing information regarding shipments, the method comprising the steps of:
- periodically receiving from sensor devices condition information associated with shipments, the condition information detected by each sensor device and selected based on a device profile;
associating a sensor information sharing profile with each of a plurality of parties; and
periodically transmitting selected condition information from the sensor devices to select parties based on the sensor information sharing profile associated with each party.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for tracking one or more items. In one exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method for tracking one or more items. The method may include periodically detecting, by a sensor device, sensor information of the one or more items, and periodically transmitting, by the sensor device, the sensor information. The method may also include determining if the one or more parties is authorized to receive the sensor information. The method may also include transmitting the sensor information to the one or more authorized parties. The method may further include determining if the one or more parties is authorized to receive the sensor information and the periodically transmitting the sensor information to the one or more authorized parties based on a set of one or more permissions that grants or restricts access of the one or more parties to the sensor information based on the set of one or more permissions.
