Abstract

See full text

A device and method to monitor location coordinates of an electronic tracking device are disclosed here. The device includes transceiver circuitry to receive at least one portion of a receive communication signal comprising location coordinates information; accelerometer circuitry to measure displacements of the portable electronic tracking device; a battery power monitor configured to selectively activate and deactivate at least one portion of the transceiver circuitry and location tracking circuitry; and processor circuitry configured to process the at least one portion of the receive communication signal. The method includes receiving at transceiver circuitry of a portable electronic tracking device at least one portion of a receive communication signal comprising location coordinates information; measuring displacements of the portable electronic tracking device; activating and deactivating at least one portion of the transceiver circuitry and location tracking circuitry; and processing the at least one portion of the receive communication signal using processor circuitry.
