Abstract
A method of generating a tracking beacon comprises detecting that the tracking device has been activated. The method also comprises communicating with a sensor of the tracking device to verify that the tracking device is in motion and is traveling towards an intended destination along with a payload. The method further comprises detecting that the tracking device has stopped moving after verifying that the tracking device is in motion traveling towards the intended destination and reading a position of the tracking device after detecting that the tracking device has stopped moving. The method still further comprises transmitting, after the position of the tracking device has been read, the position of the tracking device using a wireless transceiver. The method further comprises waiting a predetermined time after transmitting the position of the tracking device and transmitting a beacon signal using a short-range wireless communication after the predetermined amount of time.
