Description
Report device’s position to
server based on time and distant
interval setting. As typical
application case, it is every 15
minutes or 20 Km to generate a
report. Or, sending its position
when it has event alert trigger as
below,
• Impact/Accident
• Geo-fence in/out
Device is waiting for receiv ing
server’s command for sending
its position or status. Device
only sends its position and
status actively when it
experiences
• Impact/Accident
Device only wakes up once every
12 hours. During its wake-up, it
will try to locate its position and
check its sensor and battery’s
status.
It will report its position and
status to server.
Also, it sends its position actively
when it experiences
• Impact/Accident
According to time interval setting,
device will wake up periodically.
During its wake-up, it will try to
locate its position and check its
sensor and battery’s status. It will
report its position and status to
server.
