Title:
AUTOMATED GEO-FENCE BOUNDARY CONFIGURATION AND ACTIVATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/068438
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A geo-fence is defined and established automatically based on a current location of an asset along with some range or distance, avoiding the need for a user to manually specify a location by drawing a perimeter, specifying a point location, or by any other means. Once established, the geo-fence can be activated so as to notify the owner of the asset and/or some other entity of movement of the asset beyond the boundary specified by the geo-fence. In one embodiment, the geo-fence can be automatically activated upon certain conditions, or can be manually activated, or any combination thereof.
