System and Method for Conveying Event Information Based on Varying Levels of Administrative Privilege under Multiple Levels of Access Controls

摘要

An improved system and method for defining an event based upon an object location and a user-defined zone and managing the conveyance of object location event information among computing devices where object location events are defined in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between user-defined zone information and object location information. One or more location information sources are associated with an object to provide the object location information. One or more user-defined zones are defined on a map and one or more object location events are defined. The occurrence of an object location event produces object location event information that is conveyed to users based on user identification codes. Accessibility to object location information, zone information, and object location event information is based upon an object location information access code, a zone information access code, and an object location event information access code, respectively.

主权项

1. A method for conveying information relating to an object among a plurality of users of a plurality of computing devices, the method comprising the steps of:
defining a zone by one of the plurality of users, the zone having corresponding zone information accessible using a zone information access code; defining an object location event in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between the zone and a location of the object, the location of the object having corresponding object location information accessible using an object location event information accessible using an object location event information access code; and conveying, to one or more of the plurality of users, the information relating to the object comprising at least one of the object location information, the zone information, or the object location event information.
