Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a computerized framework that provides functionality for an expanded node-based network that can dynamically adapt to the location/position of a location tracker, while enabling the tracker to automatically trigger security and/or safety features for its associated user/item. The disclosed framework can dynamically and automatically compile connectivity nodes of disparate networks to provide (both low-cost and high-end) trackers continuous network coverage. Effectively, the disclosed framework can provide trackers with an adaptive Internet of Things (IoT)-type network that leverages connectivity nodes of specific networks to provide and maintain connectivity the tracker as the tracker traverses the real-world. Moreover, the tracker can provide capabilities that automatically can detect specific types of events, which can trigger notifications, alerts and/or remedial measures that are all enabled via the novel network connectivity provided via the disclosed framework.
