Abstract

This writing describes a controller that can be coupled with a position determining component, and a motion detecting component. In one embodiment, the motion detecting component detects motion of a movable item and generates a signal to the controller indicating the motion. The controller, in response to the signal, causes the position determining component to determine the geographic location of the movable item. A determination is made as to whether the geographic location is within a pre-defined zone. In response to the determination, a command can be generated for controlling the movableitem.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority to co-pending U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 392,995, filed March 19, 2003, by Gregory T. Janky et al., entitled "A Method and System for Controlling an Electronic Device" , which is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority to co-pending US Patent Application No. 10 / 222,532, filed August 15, 2002, entitled "A Portable Motion-Activated Position Reporting Device" by Dennis Workman. Both of these patents are assigned to the assignee of the present invention, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical background [0003] Location reporting devices are commonly used to locate and report the location of a person or object. Typical location reporting devices combine a navigation system, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, with a mobile communication system, such as a cellular modem, to determine the location or geograph...
