AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the use of position reporting devices has typically been limited to high value products such as cars or other vehicles
[0005] Another disadvantage associated with position reporting devices is the amount of power they consume
While battery powered location reporting devices do exist, the amount of power they draw when turned on necessitates frequent battery replacements to continue functioning
This has led to some users being inconvenient to use position reporting devices as they require an excessive amount of maintenance to continue to function

Abstract

The present invention is a portable motion-activated position reporting device. In one embodiment, a controller is coupled with a power source, a position determining component, a wireless communications component, and an initiating component. In one embodiment, the initiating component detects motion of the position reporting device and generates a signal to the controller indicating the motion. The controller, in response to the signal, activates the position reporting device.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to an apparatus for determining and reporting the position of a person or object. The present disclosure describes a portable motion actuated position reporting device. Background technique [0002] Position reporting devices are often used to locate and report the position of a person or object. A typical location reporting device that combines a navigation system such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) with a mobile communication system such as a cellular modem to determine the location or geographic location of tracked persons or assets and report their location to Track device. Position reporting devices are used in a variety of systems that require timely position information, such as fleet tracking and asset recovery systems. [0003] The fleet tracking system allows users to monitor the location of ships or vehicles carrying position reporting devices. For example, using the continuous position fix iss...
