Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing validation of data from the tracker devices. In embodiments, a method includes registering a tracker device with a device registry and issuing by an issuer the tracker device to a third party. Raw and signed data is collected from the tracker device is hashed and stored to enable later validation of the data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a plurality of electronic sensor devices configured to take and report sensor readings or measurements relating to an asset with which each device is associated to a remote computer system. One of the devices at a given time has wide area network (WAN) connectivity as a designated device to communicate with the remote computer system using wide area network connectivity. The designated device and the other devices take sensor readings and measurements and the other devices to report sensor readings and measurements to the designated device using local area network (LAN) connectivity. The designated device reports sensor readings and measurements received from the other devices to the remote computer system using wide area networks connectivity. It is detected when a battery in the designated device has reached a charge level below a defined threshold. One of the other devices is assigned as the designated device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for configuring a sensor device in accordance with a first configuration defining data collection for a plurality of sensors and defining when the collected data for the sensors is transmitted to a remote network. The sensor device can be coupled to a shipping container for collecting environmental data as the shipping container is en route to a destination. The sensor device can receive a transition signal from the remote network instructing the sensor device to transition to a second configuration with different transmission parameters.

Abstract: An electronic device with multiple sensors can report the various sensor readings and measurements using wireless connectivity to a remote computer system operating a sensing as a service platform and a web application.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus processing acceleration data of a sensing device to determine whether the device is located on an aircraft during landing or taking off or in the air or landed. Based on a state of the sensing device, such as take-off, the sensing device is prevented from transmitting signals. In embodiments, the sensing device compares network identifying information stored in memory of the sensing device and locally received network identifying information. For at least one positive comparison of the network identifying information stored in the memory and the locally received network identifying information, the sensing device is prevented from transmitting signals. In embodiments, the acceleration data and the network identifying information provide independent ways to selectively prevent the sensing device from transmitting signals.
