Devices and methods for detecting an end of trip by an asset tracker are described. An end of trip may be detected using a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module or an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), such as a three-axis accelerometer. In some implementations, the asset tracker uses the IMU for end of trip detection. In other implementations, the asset tracker uses the IMU for impact detection while using the GNSS module for end of trip detection.

Devices and methods for trip detection in an asset tracker

A method of activating an asset tracker from an ultra-low power shipping mode to a motion detection mode. The method includes detecting an activation trigger activity including double-tapping on the housing of the asset tracker, mid-air gestures comprising orientation changes, touch sensing, optical sensing, and loss of proximity with a proximity object in the packaging of the asset container.
