Establishing geo-fences and related alarms

摘要

System and method of geo-fencing. A user equipment (UE) defines a geo-fence for an asset by tracking location coordinates of the UE with at least one sensor element, as the UE is moved around a perimeter of an area. The location coordinates of the geo-fence are transferred to a location aware device (LAD) attached to the asset. Upon determining, by the at least one sensor, that the LAD crossed the geo-fence, a notification is sent to a warning server operative to trigger a warning message to one or more recipients.

1. A computing device, comprising:
a processor; a network interface coupled to the processor configured to enable communications via a radio access network; a storage device for content and programming; at least one sensor element; a program stored in the storage device, wherein execution of the program by the processor configures the computing device to perform acts comprising:
receiving location coordinates from a user equipment (UE) for a geo-fence, wherein the location coordinates are defined by the UE by recording a movement of the UE around a perimeter of an area;upon determining, by the at least one sensor, that the computing device crossed the geo-fence,determining a time and a location of where the geo-fence was crossed; andsending a notification to a warning server operative to trigger a warning message to one or more recipients, wherein the notification comprises:
the location coordinates of the geo-fence; andthe time and the location of where the geo-fence was crossed.
