Abstract

A tracking system (10) for tracking movable assets (16) and several methods for using the system are provided. The tracking system includes a monitoring device (22), a tracking information network (20), a data communication netwo rk (18), a tracker tag (12), and a tracking information server (14). The tracke r tag uses GPS technology. The tracking information server provides programmed instructions to the tracker tag in messages via a messaging system. The tracker tag selectively retrieves the messages from the messaging system. Th e tracking information server provides tracking information and related information to a subscriber. In one embodiment, the tracker tag is in communication with an Iridium satellite constellation (28) and tracking information is displayed to the subscriber when the asset is substantially anywhere in the world. In another embodiment, the monitoring device is in communication with the Iridium satellite constellation and tracking information is displayed to the subscriber when the subscriber is substantially anywhere in the world, preferably via the Internet (36).

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to PCT Patent Application No. PCT / US03 / 14483, filed May 6, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, this application is a continuation-in-part of PCT Patent Application No. PCT / US03 / 14483. PCT Patent Application No. PCT / US03 / 14483 claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 378,283, filed May 7, 2002. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a system for tracking movable assets and a method of using the system. Particular application is found in conjunction with a tracking device operating using Global Positioning System technology and a tracking information server for providing tracking information and various supplementary information to subscribers, and is described with specific reference thereto. However, it is obvious that the invention can also be used in other applications. For example, monitoring certain environmental and operational resource-related chara...
