Location tracking device based on user's behavior in zones
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12004040B2) discloses a method, computer-readable storage medium, and system for locating a tracking device. The method involves determining the user's location within a specific geographic boundary, identifying a corresponding location category, querying a database for expected behavior based on the location category, and instructing the user's mobile device to configure the tracking device accordingly. This configuration mode selection can be based on factors like signal transmission rate or power, with default settings tailored to the location category.
The patent further details the storage medium storing executable instructions for the system to perform the location tracking process. The system includes a central tracking system, a database tracking expected behavior in various location categories, and a hardware processor to execute the instructions. By determining the user's location within a geographic boundary, identifying the location category, and configuring the tracking device based on expected behavior, the system aims to optimize tracking efficiency. The configuration mode selection can be influenced by factors like signal transmission rate, power, or default settings based on the type of geographic region, ensuring accurate and efficient tracking operations.
