The present invention relates generally to providing a system and method for monitoring devices relative to a user defined geographic area using an enablement platform for building web sites and web applications using data storage, management and publication capabilities of hosted web services. The system and method for monitoring M2M devices relative to a user defined geographic area (geofence) are built on existing AerCloud concepts by allowing user to define location attributes and by using the user defined location attributes to configure and evaluate geofence parameters and issue alerts if the devices are performing outside the geofence parameters.

System and method for monitoring devices relative to a user defined geographic area

A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides an enablement platform for building web-based applications for capture, analysis and use of device data using computing resources and data storage and management capabilities of hosted web services. The enablement platform works in two steps: first, for creating new instances of compute resources at a hosted service by collecting the required information and feeding it to the necessary hosted services pages; and second, for developing production-ready web-based applications for capture, analysis and use of data from M2M devices. In an embodiment, the application is used with a web-based hosted data storage, management and publication service. First step is a single page application running at a website that collects all of the required information and feeds it to the necessary hosted services pages in the background. The second step helps users to develop production-ready M2M applications using an Application Programming Interface (API) and easy to use software components (widgets) provided on an 'out of the box' basis at the application specific user interface.

The present invention relates generally to providing a system and method for monitoring devices relative to a learned geographic area using an enablement platform for building web sites and web applications using data storage, management and publication capabilities of hosted web services. The system and method for monitoring M2M devices relative to a learned geographic area (geofence) are built on existing AerCloud concepts by configuring a geofence by using learned location attributes and evaluating geofence parameters and issuing alerts if the devices are performing outside the geofence parameters.
