System Overview
System Description
The Gemstar Automated Inventory Control System (AICS) is a wireless
communications system that enables remote inventory tracking and asset
management. This technical manual
describes the system, its components and
other information necessary for its regulatory
approval, installation and operation. The
specifications contained in this document
pertain to the Gemstar GSAM Model AICS.
The key to the system is a small electronic
device known as a “Tag”which is attached to
each finished product at the manufacturing
facility. The Tag remains attached to the
piece as it travels from the manufacturing
facility to the distribution depot to the dealer
site.
Asset Tag
Monitoring units called “MicroCells” detect signals
from these Tags when they are on-site. Typically
there are three or more MicroCells at each site to
ensure complete coverage of the area.
When a MicroCell detects a tag, it stores this data
and reports to the site’s On-Site Controller (OSC)
on demand. The On-Site Controller is connected by
dedicated telephone line to the company’s host
computer, the Server, typically located at the Head
Office.
MicroCell
Inventory can therefore
be tracked from the
Head Office as it moves from site to site until
the equipment is sold and the tag is
removed, transmitting an appropriate signal
to the system.

Section 1 - System Overview
Gemstar Communications Inc.
Technical Summary
Use and Purpose
The Automated Inventory Control System (AICS) allows the user to obtain
inventory data remotely from dealerships equipped with the system. The
user can Poll the Server to download current data providing the following
timely data of inventory equipped with Gemstar’s Tags:
• inventory currently at the dealer
• inventory that has been transferred to another dealer
• missing inventory
• sold inventoryGemstar’s MicroCell network, installed at the dealerships, monitors the
tagged inventory and reports the data to a storage device or On-Site
Controller (OSC). This data is accumulated and held at the OSC until the
main server polls and uploads the data into its main database. The data
can then be accessed by the Host user to generate the required reports.

Time Lines/Duty Cycle
Transmission Characteristics
Asset Management Tags transmits every 15 minutes when the strap is
closed for a period of 8.6 milliseconds and every 6 minutes with the strap
open. Based on a maximum duty cycle of 100 milli seconds, the duty
cycle for the tag is 8.71 %
Power transmission on the fundamental frequency of 904.512 MHz has
been measured at a peak level of 87.63 dBlV/m.

Section 1 - System Overview
Gemstar Communications Inc.
Connection Mode
When the Tag Strap is first connected, the Tag will transmit a signal every
two seconds for a total of twenty seconds.
Normal Mode
Tags transmit four times per hour on the quarter-hour plus or minus 2
minutes during normal operation. The exact timing of the transmission
within those parameters is randomly generated by computer algorithm.
Sold/Disconnect Mode
When the Tag Strap is removed (normally upon the sale of the
equipment), the Tag transmits ten times per hour for twenty-four hours.
Reconnection of the Tag Strap during this time period will have no effect
on the transmissions. At the end of the twenty-four-hour period, the
Connection Mode is enabled should the Tag Strap be reattached.

Component Description
Asset Management Tag
Tag Function
A microprocessor-based Radio Frequency (RF) transmitting device
attached onto new vehicles during the manufacturing process. The tag is
programmed to transmit a unique code, which is associated with the serial
number of the inventory item in the Host computer. The attachment of the
Tag is made using an integrated strap, which also provides the “status” of
the Tag as well as acting as the antenna. The tag transmits its code
randomly 4 times per hour under normal conditions. Once the strap is
disconnected, the Tag then begins transmitting a “sold” status 10 times
per hour for 24 hours and then resets itself.
