Patent number: 11650329Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asset travel monitoring are provided. An example method for asset travel monitoring involves monitoring a motion sensor of an asset tracking device located at an asset to determine whether the asset has entered into a travelling state, upon determination that the asset has entered into the travelling state, monitoring the motion sensor to determine whether the asset has left the travelling state, and, upon determination that the asset has left the travelling state, obtaining a present location of the asset tracking device and transmitting the present location to a remote server.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: James Patrick Howell, Thomas Arthur Walli, Irene Wong, Neil Charles Cawse

Patent number: 11552495Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for temperature-dependent charging of supercapacitor energy storage units of asset tracking devices are provided. An example method for temperature-dependent charging involves obtaining a temperature reading measured at an asset tracking device, the asset tracking device located at an asset to monitor travel of the asset, determining a target voltage for a supercapacitor energy storage unit of the asset tracking device based on the temperature reading to balance utilization of a capacity of the supercapacitor energy storage unit against temperature-dependent deterioration of the supercapacitor energy storage unit, and controlling a charging interface of the asset tracking device to charge the supercapacitor energy storage unit to the target voltage.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: James Patrick Howell, Thomas Arthur Walli, Irene Wong, Neil Charles Cawse
