Patent attributes
Container tracking systems and related methods. A container tracking assembly comprises a processor having a powered-off state and a sleep state, at least one sensor, a radio frequency transceiver, and a power source in electrical communication with the processor, the at least one sensor, and the radio frequency transceiver. Additionally, the container tracking assembly comprises a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, are operative to acquire, via the radio frequency transceiver, a current location of the container and cause the processor to enter the powered-off state if the current location of the container does not differ from a previously-acquired location of the container by more than a threshold amount. If the current location of the container differs from the previously-acquired location of the container by more than the threshold amount, the processor enters the sleep state for a first period of time.
