Abstract: Various implementations of the invention comprise a position tracking module, a transmitter, and a controller. The position tracking module collects measurements from a plurality of positioning satellites, where the collected measurements may be used to determine a position of said mobile terminal. The transmitter transmits status reports to an operations center. The controller controls an activation of the transmitter based on an analysis of a geographic cost function, where the geographic cost function identifies a geographic area in which the controller alters a communication parameter of the mobile terminal. The alteration of the communication parameter may be used by the operations center as a basis for a change in a billing rate during at least part of a time that the mobile terminal is resident within the geographic area.

Abstract: A system and method for asset tracking configuration of a mobile terminal. A mobile terminal can be designed to enable a remote determination of an asset position. In one embodiment, the mobile terminal can include a configured function that enables the mobile terminal to reconfigure mobile terminal operation (e.g., activation of a GPS engine).

Abstract: A system and method for mobile advertising configuration. A mobile advertising platform provides a service to advertisers in generating and managing an advertising campaign. The mobile advertising platform receives an advertiser's input regarding the duration, geographies, targeted demographics, expected performance such as number of impressions, and pricing requirements of an advertising campaign. The mobile advertising platform selects mobile advertisement carriers controlled by one or more fleet operators for inclusion in said advertising campaign based on profiles for the mobile advertisement carriers. The mobile advertising platform provides proof-of-performance metrics and operational metrics to the advertisers to enable management and optimization of the advertising campaign in real-time. The mobile advertising platform provides dynamic pricing to the advertisers for their advertising campaign in real-time.
