  • Limiting access to asset management information
    Patent number: 9747329
    Abstract: A system and method for limiting access to asset management information is disclosed. According to one embodiment, information is received from a first reporting source about an asset. Information from a second reporting source about the asset is also recited. The information from the first reporting source and the information from the second reporting source is stored in a database such that the information from the first reporting source and the information from the second reporting source can be accessed from the database. A first entity is enabled to access a first subset of the information stored in the database while a second entity is not allowed to access the first subset of the information stored in the database.

  • Unreported event status change determination and alerting
    Patent number: 9536405
    Abstract: In a method for determining an unreported event status change for an asset, an asset management system receives a position of an asset from a reporting source coupled with the asset. The position is associated with a particular time by the reporting source. The position is compared to a previous position of the asset, the previous position being associated with a previous time that is earlier than the particular time. Based upon the comparing of the position to the previous position, it is determined if an unreported event status change has occurred for the asset.
