APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A PACKAGE DURING TRANSIT

摘要

According to one aspect, a monitoring device includes a processor, a sensor, and a configuration circuit. The sensor is adapted to detect if the sensor is subjected to at least a first magnitude of the particular condition. The configuration circuit may be used to specify a second magnitude of the particular condition, wherein the second magnitude is greater than the first magnitude. The processor remains in an inactive state if the object is subjected to a magnitude of the particular condition less than the second magnitude, and the sensor generates a signal in response to detection of sensor being subjected to at least the second magnitude of the particular condition. In response to the signal, the processor enters an active state to develop an indication of at least the second magnitude of the particular condition.

1. A monitoring device, comprising:
a carrier; a processor disposed on the carrier; a sensor disposed on the carrier, wherein the sensor is adapted to detect when the sensor is subjected to at least a first magnitude of the particular condition; first and second conductive traces for specifying a configuration parameter, wherein the configuration parameter includes a second magnitude of the particular condition, wherein the second magnitude is greater than the first magnitude, wherein the second magnitude is specified by one of coupling and decoupling the two conductive traces; wherein the processor remains in an inactive state if the sensor is subjected to a magnitude of the particular condition less than the second magnitude, the sensor generates a signal in response to detection of the sensor being subjected to a third magnitude of the particular condition, and in response to the signal the processor enters an active state to develop an indication of third magnitude of the particular condition, wherein the third magnitude is greater than or equal to the second magnitude.
