Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatuses for location monitoring are disclosed. One system includes a first location monitoring apparatus that includes a plurality of sensors, shared storage, and a low-power controller. For an embodiment, the low-power controller operates to manage the plurality of sensors, manage storage of sensed information in the shared storage, communicate with an upstream server, and communicate with a second location monitoring apparatus. For an embodiment, a high-power controller operates to retrieve at least a portion of the stored sensed information, process the at least the portion of the stored sensed information, communicate with the low-power controller, and communicate with a second low-power controller of the second location monitoring apparatus through the low-power controller. For an embodiment, the low-power controller is powered and operable for greater periods of time than the high-power controller, and where the low-power controller.
