Method and system for managing geographically distributed resources

摘要

A system for managing geographically distributed resources, comprising a plurality of shoes associated with said resources; each pair of said plurality of shoes comprising an electronic circuit; said electronic circuit comprising a control circuit for said electronic circuit; a locator module which provides the geographical coordinates to said control circuit; a radio communication system; said control system providing a plurality of information items to said communication system; said communication system comprising a first receiver-transmitter for sending said plurality of information items to a local concentrator; said local concentrator comprising a second receiver-transmitter for sending said plurality of information items to an operations center; said first receiver-transmitter sending said plurality of information items to a local concentrator periodically; said control circuit comprising an input connected to at least one sensor; said operations center displaying the location of each of said resources and the information items received from said at least one sensor.

1. A system for managing geographically distributed resources, comprising:
a plurality of shoes associated with said resources; a local concentrator (31) external to said shoes, and a remote operation centre (32); each pair of said plurality of shoes comprising an electronic circuit (1) placed in said shoes; said electronic circuit (1) comprising a control circuit (11) for said electronic circuit (1); a locator module (13) arranged to provide geographical coordinates to said control circuit (11); and a radio communication system (12); said control circuit (11) arranged to provide a plurality of information items to said radio communication system (12); said radio communication system (12) comprising a first receiver-transmitter, for a wireless short range of communication, to send said plurality of information items to said local concentrator (31); said local concentrator (31) is connected with said radio communication system (12); said local concentrator (31) comprising a second receiver-transmitter, for a wireless long range of communication, arranged to send said plurality of information items to said operations centre (32); said first receiver-transmitter sending said plurality of information items to said local concentrator (31) periodically; said control circuit (11) comprising an input connected to at least one sensor (20); said at least one sensor (20) comprises a meter for measuring the voltage of a battery (10) powering said electronic circuit (1); said plurality of information items comprises said geographical coordinates which give the location of said control circuit (11) and the voltage of said battery (10); said operations centre (32) displaying the location of each of said control circuit (11) and the voltage of said battery (10), so that said operations centre (32) reduce the transmission period of sending said plurality of information items from said first receiver-transmitter to said local concentrator (31) periodically, to control the battery consumption, and further modify the transmission period between the local concentrator (31) and the operations centre (32).
