SYSTEMS, APPARATUS AND METHODS INVOLVING AN ENHANCED CONNECTED NODE-BASED LOGISTICS RECEPTACLE AND METHODS OF OPERATING THE SAME

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
An enhanced node-based connected logistics receptacle system includes a storage receptacle, a bridge node, and wireless accessory sensor node with at least one sensor monitoring for a change in state of the storage receptacle. The system's wireless accessory sensor node detects the storage receptacle's state change based upon sensor data, records timestamped information reflecting the detected change, and broadcasts a signal with a flag set indicating there is event information available for upload. The system's bridge node is operative to detect the flag set, retrieve the event information available for upload from the wireless accessory sensor node, and transmit a message related to the retrieved event information to a backend server to cause the backend server to initiate the dispatched logistics operation related to the storage receptacle.
