System and method for remote asset management

摘要

A remote asset management system comprising a network of programmable wireless modules, each having an antenna and an identification module and configured to communicate via a radio communication protocol. The system further includes a plurality of assets each linked to one of the wireless modules and configured to be managed by the linked wireless module. A remote system server service platform is configured to receive remote asset data from the wireless modules, pass the remote asset data to and from the wireless modules, send messages to at least one of the wireless modules, monitor the wireless modules by requesting and receiving current mode information, and remotely program the wireless modules. A data processing module located within the wireless module(s) and configured to process messages received by the wireless module, authenticate said message, analyze authenticated messages, and carry out asset management instructions included in the message.

主权项

1. A remote asset management system comprising:
a network of programmable wireless modules, each of the programmable wireless modules having an antenna and an identification module and configured to communicate via a radio communication protocol; a plurality of assets each linked to one of the programmable wireless modules; a remote system server service platform configured to receive and process remote asset data received in at least one data message from at least one of the programmable wireless modules, and communicate with at least one selected from the group consisting of at least one programmable wireless module, at least one subscriber number, at least one IP address, and at least one e-mail address in response to receiving each of said data messages, the remote system server service platform also configured to send messages to at least one of the programmable wireless modules, monitor the programmable wireless modules by requesting and receiving current mode information, and communicate with the network of programmable wireless modules to manage operation of the linked assets; and a data processing module located within each of the programmable wireless modules and configured to process messages received by the programmable wireless module, authenticate whether said message was sent by a permitted server service platform, analyze authenticated messages, and carry out asset management instructions included in the message, thereby controlling the operational status of the linked asset; and wherein the said plurality of assets each comprises one or more consumer electronics products.
