Company patents

Trackonomy Systems, Inc.

Trackonomy Systems, Inc. demonstrates a primary focus on "Data Recognition (Barcodes, OCR)" and "Wireless Networks," each comprising over 60% of its portfolio, yet both show significant declines in patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its tech-centric core, the company also holds a notable 15.4% of its patents in "Adhesives" and "Layered Products (Laminates, Films)," categories that saw a complete cessation of patenting activity so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift away from these material science areas.

Using cell towers for locationing of assets

Filed:2022-04-15Pub:2025-08-12
Applicant:Trackonomy Systems, Inc.

A wireless tracking device may receive, from a server of a wireless tracking system, a cell tower data set having an entry with a cell tower identifier and cell tower location coordinates for each of at least one cell tower located along at least part of an expected route of an asset associated with the wireless tracking device. At intervals, the wireless tracking device activates a cellular communication circuit to receive at least one wireless signal including a broadcast cell tower identifier. The wireless tracking device retrieves cell tower location coordinates from an entry of the cell tower data set where the cell tower identifier matches the broadcast cell tower identifier. The wireless tracking device determines a location estimate of the wireless tracking device based on the retrieved cell tower coordinates.

Multi-communication-interface system for fine locationing

Filed:2022-09-12Pub:2025-07-15
Applicant:Trackonomy Systems, Inc.

A multi-communication-interface system methods implement fine locationing while conserving battery power. A first wireless-communication interface of a first multi-communication-interface tape node located at a first location in an area detect a first wireless signal from a second tape node at a first time. A first receiver of a second wireless-communication interface of the first multi-communication-interface tape node is activated in response to detecting the first wireless signal and used to receive a first response signal from a first wireless tag in response to an interrogation signal. The first receiver is deactivated to conserve power within an internal battery of the at least one second multi-communication-interface tape node and a location of the first wireless tag at the first time is determined as the first location.
