Abstract:
In a tracking device  10,  a crescent-shaped PCB  12  partially encircles a battery  15  to minimize thickness of the device  10.  A speaker  23  and an LED  24  emit alerts upon command of a control apparatus  37  or in response to motion or temperature sensed by sensor  25.  A local network  40  has one hub  41  to tracking devices  33  and a wider area network  45  has multiple hubs for more detailed tracking of devices  33.  A wide area network  50  tracks 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 group  303  by a user.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for operating a programmable tracking device system, the method comprising:\n a) providing a tracking device having a processor, supporting logic and power circuitry, one or more sensors, a speaker and a light under processor control, a memory cache, and a bluetoothed radio set for transmitting a beacon signal, the signal consisting essentially of a unique identifier characteristic of the tracking device, bluetoothed formatting, and a sensor datum or data output from the at least one of the one or more sensors; b) providing a program having a processor-executable instruction set installable on a control apparatus, the control apparatus having a processor for executing the instruction steps, memory for storing the program and programmable selections by a user, a clock, a speaker, a display and graphical user interface, one or more sensors including at least a motion sensor, and a bluetoothed radio set, said program enabling:\n i) the control apparatus to detect and receive beacon signals from the tracking device whenever the tracking device is in radio range of the control apparatus and to acquire remote control of the tracking device; \n ii) the tracking device to remotely control the control apparatus; \n c) after the program is installed on the control apparatus, in one operation, by the control apparatus, operating the control apparatus to trigger an audible or visible alert on the tracking device; and, d) in another operation, by the tracking device, operating the tracking device to trigger an audible or visible alert on the control apparatus, wherein the operations are performed using the bluetoothed radio sets.
