Embodiment Construction

[0031] Described herein are techniques employing systems and methods for conserving power of a battery associated with an item(s). One or more items can be placed inside the container, and each of the items can communicate with the server over the network. Each of the one or more items may determine a location in the container, and also determine a state of charge of a battery associated with each of the one or more items. Each of the one or more items may communicate the determined location and state of charge of the battery to the server. The server may assign clusters to groupings of items based on the location of each of the one or more items. The server may select a grouping of items from one or more items to assign a cluster to. The server may further identify a master item from the grouping of items based on a state of charge of a battery associated with each item in the grouping. To identify the master item, the server may rank each item in the group based on the st...

Abstract

Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and method for saving power of a battery associated with item / s. One or more embodiments of the invention describe the method comprising steps of receiving a location and a charged status of a battery associated with each of one or more items placed inside a container. The method further describes the following steps: assigning a cluster to a group of items from the one or more items based on the location of each of the one or more items, and identifying a master item from the group of items based on the charged status of each item in the cluster. The method also describes the following steps: transmitting a message to the master item for sensing a parameter for the group of items in the cluster, and receiving a sensed parameter from the master item for the group of items.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the tracking of items. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for conserving power of a battery associated with an item(s). Background technique [0002] Electronic circuits are often mounted on items for providing various functionalities to the item. Electronic circuits include one or more sensors, communication modules, location modules and other components. The electronic circuit is powered by the battery and operates with it until the battery is drained. For example, electronic circuitry may consume power from a battery while performing data transfers or while processing data. Therefore, the battery associated with the electronic circuit has a limited lifespan and can only be used until it is not depleted. Items cannot perform any operations after the battery is drained or depleted, thus rendering them inoperative. [0003] Currently, there are solutions available to c...
