摘要： A method for tracking objects in a way that, conserves power resources. The method can establish a designed range defining a safe area based upon the broadcast signal of an anchor beacon. When the tracking device is within the designed range, the tracking device can be placed in a mode of low power consumption. Should the tracking device move outside of the designated range, then the tracking device can be placed in mode for active tracking. The level of power consumption can he achieved by only enabling a WAN transceiver in the active tracking mode.

摘要： The present invention discloses a method of tracking objects. In the method, an anchor beacon can emit a broadcast over a range that is detectable by an object tracking device. The object tracking device can automatically detect a presence or absence of the broadcast. When the broadcast is present; the object tracking device can take no action. When the broadcast is absent, the object tracking device can determine a current location for the object tracking device and can convey an OTA communication to a tracking server. The OTA communication can indicate the absence of the broadcast and can also including the current location. The tracking server can selectively send a notification to a previously designated communication device to notify a user that the object tracking device is outside the range.

摘要： A method is used in a receiver (100) for aligning the receiver (100). The method has a step of intercepting and demodulating the FM signal, which includes data symbols. The method has a step of determining error rates, in which the error rates of at least two subsets of the data symbols are determined. Each subset includes a plurality of the data symbols modulated at a unique one of a plurality of frequency deviations. The at least two subsets include data symbols of two opposite polarities. The method has a step of generating a frequency control signal, in which the frequency control signal is determined based on the error rates. The method has a step of aligning a receiver section (105), in which the receiver section (105) is aligned to the FM signal by controlling a local oscillator (320)which is responsive to the frequency control signal.

摘要： A method for conveying message origination information in a selective call receiver comprises selectively receiving a message (300) intended for the call receiver (140). The call receiver (140) identifies if the message received is flawed (302). In response to determining that the message is flawed, the selective call receiver (140) extracts origin information which has been appended to the message (306). The selective call receiver applies the origin information to a look-up table (308) in order to report more detailed information to the subscriber (310) indicating who the subscriber may contact to obtain the complete message.

摘要： An alerting system for a selective call communication receiver (10) which includes a battery (26A, 26B) for supplying energy at a first supply rate and a receiver (14) coupled thereto for receiving transmitted selective call message signals includes a decoder (16), a power source (44), an annunciator (34) and a charging circuit (36). The decoder (16) is coupled to the battery (26A, 26B) and decodes the received selective call message signals and generates an alert signal output in response to the received selective call message signals. The power source (44) is capable of being charged and supplies energy at a second supply rate. The annunciator (34) is coupled to the power source (44) and is responsive to the alert signal output for providing a sensible alert. The annunciator (34) consumes energy at the second supply rate when providing the sensible alert. The charging circuit (36) is coupled to the battery (26A, 26B) and is responsive to the sensible alert being generated for charging the power source (44) from the battery (26A, 26B) to replenish the energy consumed during the generation of the sensible alert.
