Abstract: Our earphone employs a standard three-conductor stereo headphone plug, inserted into an ordinary stereo jack, enabling the listener to hear the combined left and right channels of stereo audio in a single ear without the need for any kind of adapter. The single earphone enables a person with a hearing impairment, the ability to hear both left and right audio channels in their one good ear without missing any of the media content. Our single stereo earphone may be used equally well with both stereo and mono audio devices without the need for any kind of adapter, switch or sensing circuit. Our earphone overcomes numerous problems typically experienced when one plugs a mono earphone into a stereo jack, and vice versa. It also does away with the need for any type of stereo-to-mono adapters, creating a cost savings while simplifying its universal use with all audio circuits.

Abstract: The tracking system monitors many trackable devices each transmitting geographic locus, device id and event data via GPS, GPRS or GSM communications channels. The system is typically an ASP model and presents a dynamic display of the tracking device data (data such as, tracked asset, driver, load condition, speed, direction, event code, messages to and from the device, and party owner-controller) to the user-customer. The system dynamically displays tracking data and an asset tool bar which triggers action and report selection tools. These action-report tools initiate: a polling or ping signal to the tracking device, display of historic reports, message signals to the tracking device, display of historic route overlaid on a map, display of current location with other tracking devices monitored by the customer, and display of current tracked location and geographic limit imposed thereon, that is, a geo fence.

Abstract: The ubiquitous tracking system monitors many trackable devices from different manufacturers, each transmitting geographic locus, device id and event data via GPS, GPRS or GSM communications channels. The data is addressed to the tracking system. The system compiles device data profiles and customer profiles which correlate tracking devices with the customer. The tracking method accepts device data at a communications port, decodes the data, and correlates it with the customer profile. The system is typically an ASP model and the logged decoded data is sent to the customer's client computer as a web generated data report.

Abstract: The tracking system monitors many trackable devices each transmitting geographic locus, device id and event data via GPS, GPRS or GSM communications channels. The system is typically an ASP model and presents a dynamic display of the tracking device data to the user-customer. The system dynamically displays tracking data and a series of maps hierarchically or otherwise classified (e.g., region, state, city and site or yard maps). When the device transits from one classified map to another, the system automatically changes the map display to the next map based upon tracking locus data. The system also includes a geo fence and an automatic alert. User defined geographic limits are set as data boundaries on maps. These boundaries are overlaid on displayable maps. When devices transit the closed, user-defined geographic limits, an alert message is automatically generated. The system may also include a time-in or time-out, temporal limit.

Abstract: The tracking system monitors many trackable devices each transmitting geographic locus, device id and event data via GPS, GPRS or GSM communications channels. The system is typically an ASP model and the time zone selector is presented on the dynamic display of the tracking device data (data such as, tracked asset, driver, load condition, speed, direction, event code, messages to and from the device, and party owner-controller). The system dynamically switches between one time zone and another (for example, EST to MST) upon selection of the user. Typically, the time stamp data from tracking devices is in common time format (GMT). The system converts GMT into local time (EST) as per customer profile and then converts to a further time (MST) upon command via the dynamic display of the tracking device data. Two browser displays may show different time zones. All other data remains the same except the time.

Abstract: The tracking system monitors many trackable devices each transmitting geographic locus, device id and event data via GPS, GPRS or GSM communications channels. The system is typically an ASP model and the multiple language selector is presented on the dynamic display of the tracking device data (data such as, tracked asset, driver, load condition, speed, direction, event code, messages to and from the device, and party owner-controller). The system dynamically switches between at least two languages (e.g. English and Spanish) as selected by the user during the display of the data. Either data translation profiles for words or phrases or a phraseology dictionary lookup data table is utilized. Labels are translated.
