GPS TRACKING SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING PUBLIC PORTAL PUBLISHING LOCATION DATA

摘要

A GPS tracking device sends multiple real-time location coordinates to a database which is then published on a secured webpage containing a map and device location. The GPS tracking device owner can retrieve the publishing code or URL from the secured webpage and can then publish the portal in any public internet media outlet such as websites, internet 1Vs and mobile devices. With this method, the owner can share the real-time location of the GPS devices to the user being shared without security verification or software installation on the user's computer or mobile device. To share the location of the GPS tracking device, the owner needs only to embed a set of publishing codes on a webpage or share a web URL. This method is beneficial for anyone wanting to share real-time physical location. The user can access the shared location by viewing the published public portal without security verification.
