Abstract: A computer-based system, computer-implemented method, and computer-readable medium for tracking assets, such as objects and persons. The current invention involves associating a GPS-tracked tag with a targeted asset, registering a serial number associated with the tag, storing the serial number onto a database, and tracking the tag—and thus, associated asset—through the database. Authorized third parties, such as law enforcement personnel, may also access the database and track the asset, if needed, for example if the asset is stolen. The user is able to activate and deactivate the tracking ability of the tag and immediately track the tag when needed.

Abstract: A method of preventing a loss of an asset is provided. The method includes 1) providing a device that is logged into a national database of law enforcement agencies, 2) detecting a movement of the device outside of a predefined perimeter, and 3) upon detecting the movement, immediately providing a direct link for tracking such movement to at least one law enforcement agency of the national database.

Abstract: A device for tracking an asset includes an accelerometer operable to generate a first signal in response to detecting the device being moved from its location. The device includes a transceiver circuit operable to transition from an inactive state to an active state responsive to the first signal. The transceiver circuit is configured in the active state to receive its cellular location from a cellular network and to receive its global position from a global positioning system (GPS) satellite and is operable to transmit a data packet containing the cellular location and its global position to a server.
