Safe Zones in Tracking Device Environments

Abstract: a tracking system determines if a tracking device is located within a safe zone based on whether a set of safe conditions are satisfied. the set of safe conditions includes a geographic boundary or a geographic location and corresponding threshold distance. the set of safe conditions can also include a time window during which a safe zone is active. when a tracking device is within a safe zone (e.g., geographically and temporally), the tracking device is determined to be safe, and notifications associated with the tracking device can be minimized. the safe zones may be user-selected, user-defined, or determined based on data analytics. if a set of safe conditions are not satisfied, the tracking system generates and sends a notification to the user of the tracking device indicating that the tracking device may be lost.
