Abstract
In a tracking device, a crescent-shaped PCBpartially encircles a batteryto minimize thickness of the device. A speakerand an LEDemit alerts upon command of a control apparatusor in response to motion or temperature sensed by sensor. A local networkhas one hubto tracking devicesand a wider area networkhas multiple hubs for more detailed tracking of devices. A wide area networktracks devices anywhere and stores data of each tracking device including its last known position and its sensor data. An apparatus and methods for finding and tracking a plurality of radiotag/objects designated as a groupby a user.
