  • Patent number: 11802931
    Abstract: A system and a method for tracking mobile assets, in which a tracking device is coupled to the mobile asset, the location thereof being determined by a mobile device entering the operating radius of a wave emitted by the tracking device (and/or vice versa), the mobile device having and running at least one computer program for this purpose. The position of the tracking device is refined by detecting a data packet emitted by more than one mobile device within the operating radius of the tracking device, in which communication is established between the tracking device and a server of the system over a network including all of the mobile devices having the computer program for this purpose. A set of first notices of loss that characterize the action situations of the method according to the invention, and finally a corresponding tracking device.

  • Patent number: 11715358
    Abstract: A plurality of sensors are operably coupled to a system controller. Each sensor includes a detection mode in which the sensor applies one or more detection algorithms to sensor data generated by the corresponding sensor to detect a possible event and to report the possible event to the system controller, but does not report the system data to the system controller. Each sensor also includes a sensor data mode in which the sensor data is reported to the system controller. When one of the plurality of sensors reports a possible event to the system controller, the system controller instructs one or more of the plurality of sensors to switch from the detection mode to the sensor data mode. The system controller is configured to receive the sensor data and to process the received sensor data to confirm or otherwise provide a measure of confidence in the reported possible event.
