Mobile transceiver having selectable travel modes and a method of operation
First Claim
1. A method of operating a mobile transceiver having a processor, and a wireless transceiver and a satellite receiver each coupled to the processor, the method comprising:
- sending a message to an asset tracking service, the message from a mobile transceiver including a device identifier (ID) associated with the mobile transceiver;
receiving a message from the asset tracking service, the message including an instruction for the mobile transceiver to apply a selected travel mode; and
applying the selected travel mode as a current travel mode, including;
waking up the mobile transceiver in response to an alarm defined for the current travel mode, wherein the current travel mode and alarm are defined by the user-specified device configuration stored in a memory of the mobile transceiver, andperforming an action associated with the alarm.
