Methods, systems, and devices for detecting and resolving risks associated with shipped objects
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for resolving a risk associated with a shipped physical object. The methods and servers comprise associating a time with a geographical region. The methods and servers also comprise receiving a set of locations associated with transport of a physical object. In addition, the methods and servers comprise determining that the set of locations fails to satisfy a condition associated with the time and the geographical region. The sensor devices report location data to a server at a first time interval, wherein the location data fails to satisfy a condition associated with a time and a geographical region. The sensor devices also receive an indication of a panic mode. In addition, the sensor devices also report location data to the server at a second time interval, wherein the second time interval is different than the first time interval.
1. A method for a shipped physical object, comprising:
associating a time with a geographical region along an expected travel path of the shipped physical object;
receiving location data at a first rate associated with a sensor device within or attached to the shipped physical object, the received location data comprising a set of locations;
determining, using a processor, that the set of locations fails to satisfy a condition associated with the time and the geographical region;
presenting a selectable panic button via a user interface on a device remote from the physical object, wherein the selectable panic button, following its selection, enables a panic mode associated with the determination that the set of locations fails to satisfy the condition;
receiving, corresponding to enablement of the panic mode, the location data associated with the sensor device at a frequency greater than the first rate;
storing the received location data received at the greater frequency; and
notifying, in response to the enabled panic mode, a party associated with the physical object of the failed condition.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determination that the set of locations fails to satisfy the condition comprises a determination that the set of locations does not contain a location within the geographical region before the time.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determination that the set of locations fails to satisfy the condition comprises a determination that the set of locations only contains locations within the geographical region before the time.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining the time based on an expected arrival time to the geographical region or an expected departure time from the geographical region.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
determining the expected arrival time or the expected departure time based on past travel routes between a most recent location from the set of locations and the geographical region.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the geographical region is a destination of the shipped physical object or an intermediary shipping facility.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical object is a set of one or more packages, containers, or shipped articles.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing the set of locations to the user interface at a delay period from receiving the location data.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
reducing, in response to the enabled panic mode, the delay period.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing, in response to enablement of the panic mode, transmission of an indication of the enabled panic mode to the sensor device.
11. A system for a shipped physical object comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory having instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:
associating a time with a geographical region along an expected travel path of the shipped physical object;
receiving location data at a first rate associated with a sensor device within or attached to the shipped physical object, the received location data comprising a set of locations;
determining, using a processor, that the set of locations fails to satisfy a condition associated with the time and the geographical region;
presenting a selectable panic button via a user interface on a device remote from the physical object, wherein the selectable panic button, following its selection, enables a panic mode associated with the determination that the set of locations fails to satisfy the condition;
receiving, corresponding to enablement of the panic mode, the location data associated with the sensor device at a frequency greater than the first rate;
storing the received location data received at the greater frequency; and
notifying, in response to the enabled panic mode, a party associated with the physical object of the failed condition.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determination that the set of locations fails to satisfy the condition comprises a determination that the set of locations does not contain a location within the geographical region before the time.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determination that the set of locations fails to satisfy the condition comprises a determination that the set of locations only contains locations within the geographical region before the time.
14. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining the time based on an expected arrival time to the geographical region or an expected departure time from the geographical region.
15. The system of claim 14 , further comprising:
determining the expected arrival time or the expected departure time based on past travel routes between a most recent location from the set of locations and the geographical region.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the geographical region is a destination of the shipped physical object or an intermediary shipping facility.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the physical object is a set of one or more packages, containers, or shipped articles.
18. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
providing the set of locations to the user interface at a delay period from receiving the location data.
19. The system of claim 18 , further comprising:
reducing, in response to the enabled panic mode, the delay period.
20. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
causing, in response to enablement of the panic mode, transmission of an indication of the enabled panic mode to the sensor device.
