Patent ID: 7202801

Claim:
An apparatus for providing automated, location-based, dynamic notification, which apparatus communicates to a plurality of recipients in combination with an external positioning system for use with a mobile object, comprising: a mobile unit collocated with the object; and a control center computer subsystem, where the mobile unit comprises: a position module comprising means for automatically generating location data corresponding to the position of the mobile unit as determined by communication with the external positioning system; a location processor communicated to the position module; an action processor communicated to the location processor, the action processor generating location-based data and the location processor comprising means for automatically processing the location data generated by the position module and the location-based data generated by the action processor; a data module communicated to the action processor; and an I/O module communicated to the action processor, where the control center computer subsystem comprises: a system processor; a communication module communicated to the systems processor; and a master database communicated to the systems processor, and where the I/O module of the mobile unit and the communication module of the control center computer subsystem are intercommunicated with each other, where location processor automatically associates a relationship between the location data and a locational feature stored in the data module with a need for notification action by the action processor, where the location processor automatically generates a plurality of action demands, and where the action processor receives the plurality of action demands and prioritizes the plurality of action demands.
