Abstract:
A method of controlling by transmitted radio commands from a remote control center the dynamic GeoFencing of a vehicle or other movable apparatus internally provided with a GPS receiver, software-implemented processor, and communication links, that comprises, transmitting a first command from said control center to the vehicle to receive and transmit to the control center, the current GPS location point of the vehicle; pre-determining at the control center the desired shape and size of a GeoFence around the vehicle and transmitting further commands to the vehicle to establish such a control-center pre-determined GeoFence; and responding at the processor to said further commands by operating said software to calculate in the processor the location of points defining the perimeter of said control-center pre-determined desired shape and size of GeoFence, thereby establishing the desired GeoFence about the current vehicle location point from data calculated at said vehicle processor.
