Abstract
A tracking device comprises a controller and a location positioning device (such as GPS). The tracking device also includes a transceiver. In use, the controller reads position information from the GPS, and telemeters the location information using the transceiver. In some embodiments, the tracking device includes two transceivers, including a short-range wireless transceiver (such as Bluetooth), and a second transceiver that facilitates relatively longer-range communication compared to the short-range wireless transceiver. In alternative embodiments, the location positioning device is not required, such as where the tracking device includes a beacon or other absolute or relative locating device and/or locating functionality. The tracking device can also and/or alternatively include sensors and other features.
