The first checkpoint communication includes a first checkpoint identifier and a first event time reflecting when the first participant crossed the first checkpoint. A first checkpoint event time is determined based upon the first checkpoint identifier and the first event time. Also, the first checkpoint event time is displayed on the first participant device. Further, a checkpoint device and an event server may be used to in presenting the event feedback information.

  • Publication number: 20130033375
    Abstract: An asset tracking device and methods prevent false alarms when a tracked asset is intentionally removed from a safe zone. A special mode is enabled on the tracking device or a server by a user. In response, the asset tracking device or server may start a first timer providing time for the asset to leave the safe zone. The asset tracking device or server monitors for the device leaving the safe zone. If the asset does not leave the safe zone within this predefined period of time, the tracking device or server resets to its normal operating mode. If the asset is removed within the first time period, a second timer may be set for a maximum duration that the asset will be outside the safe zone. If the asset is not returned to the safe zone within the second time period, the asset or server may send an alarm.
