METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A CORRECTIVE PICKUP NOTIFICATION FOR A SHIPPED ITEM BASED UPON AN INTENDED PICKUP MASTER NODE

摘要

A mobile master node apparatus is described for generating a corrective pickup notification related to an item being shipped based upon an intended pickup master node. The master node includes a processor, memory storage, location circuitry, and a communication interface. In operation, the mobile master node is unconventionally transformed to identify a location of the ID node; determine whether the location of the ID node and a detected location of the mobile master node indicates the item accompanies the mobile master node as it moves from a first location to a second location; identify an intended pickup master node from received shipping information related to the item; automatically sense an adverse pickup condition related to the item based upon the intended pickup master node and whether the item is accompanying the mobile master node; and generate the corrective pickup notification based upon the adverse pickup condition sensed.
