Systems and Methods for GPS/GNSS Based Real Time Global Asset Tracking - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18321498 titled 'Systems and Methods for GPS/GNSS Based Real Time Global Asset Tracking

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes systems and methods for real-time global asset tracking using GPS/GNSS technology. - The system includes a server with a processor, memory, and network interface. - The memory contains a tracking application that directs the processor to perform various tasks. - The system receives a message with specific data from a tag. - Based on the message, it determines a time search window. - It then performs an initial position search using satellite ephemeris information. - Using the time search window, initial position search, and calculations, it determines the position and time of the tag. - Finally, it displays the position information of the tag.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for global positioning satellite (GPS)/global navigation satellite system (GNSS) based real time global asset tracking are described. In an embodiment provides a system for real time, fast, global asset tracking, the system includes: a server with a processor, a memory, and a network interface, wherein the memory includes a tracking application, where the tracking application directs the processor to: receive a message including specific data from a tag; determine a time search window based on the message received from the tag; perform an initial position search; perform calculations for position and time, utilizing the time search window, the initial position search and satellite ephemeris information; and display a position information of the tag.
