`cellular carriers” ‘455 patent at 17:22-26
`“Messaging unit 16 also allows for input of status information through
`sensor system 64. In one embodiment geosensor system 64 comprises
`sensors, controllers, and processors used to monitor various parameters of
`truck trailer 12, and operates to pass status information to processor 44.
`Sensor system 64 may monitor performance parameters of truck trailer 12,
`such as the temperature of a refrigerated compartment, battery voltage
`levels, or diagnostics of other truck trailer subsystems. Sensor system 64
`may also monitor the status of truck trailer 12 and its contents, such as
`whether truck trailer 12 is connected to a cab and whether the contents
`have been tampered with. For purposes of this description, "sensor" refers
`to any device that furnishes processor 44 with location and status
`information, including a positioning system.” ‘455 patent at 6:66-7:12.

`
` “
`
` For example, data messages received by messaging unit 16 may be sent
`over a data channel using MIN statusing or feature request generation, or
`over a voice channel using a data encoder, such as a modem or DTMF
`recognizer. 10 Received data messages at messaging unit 16 may serve a
`variety of functions, such as remotely programming predetermined sensor
`reporting limits, updating messaging unit 16 software, requesting
`information, or alerting the operator of the transportation system among
`others.” ‘455 patent at 12:7-14.
`
`“Mobile unit 216 allows for input of location information from a LORAN-
`C system, a global positioning satellite (GPS) system or any suitable
`system providing location information of the mobile unit. This input is
`shown by positioning system 272 in FIG. 7. The positioning system 272
`may be located within the housing of the mobile unit 216, or part or all of
`positioning system 272 may be located outside the mobile unit 216. The
`data sent to the mobile unit 216 from positioning system 272 can be either
`raw location data (for example, data directly received from LORAN-C
`system) or processed location data. Therefore, the processing of raw
`location data can occur within the positioning system 272 itself, within
`processor 246, or transmitted through phone transceiver 238 and antenna
`244 for later 50 processing at the platform 224 or central host 226 of FIG.
`5.
`
`Mobile unit 216 also allows for input of status information through
`automatic status generator 274. The automatic status generator 274
`comprises any sensors, controllers, and processors used to monitor
`performance parameters of the 55 vehicle 212, and operates to pass
`information from such monitors to the mobile unit 216. As will be
`discussed, status information may be received by the mobile unit 216 from

`either the automatic status generator 274 or the key pad 266. Block 276
`allows for the input or output of various other 60 options, such as an alarm
`input which, for example, could indicate that a vehicle on which the mobile
`unit is located has been broken into.” ‘455 patent at 14:36-62.
`
`“As discussed above, positioning system 272 may generate longitude and
`latitude information, or simply raw data, for example from a GPS system,
`to be transmitted from mobile unit 216. If only raw data is generated by a
`positioning system 272, then processor 246, the platform 224, or the
`central host 226 can generate the longitude and latitude information for
`positioning information. Likewise, automatic status generator 274 may be
`used to automatically generate status information, such as engine
`performance, trailer temperature (for example, if a refrigerated trailer
`tractor is associated with the remote unit), or other status information.”
`‘455 patent at 15:47-58.
`
`
`
`The mobile devices disclosed in Kennedy have a limited number of pre-
`programmed numbers that can be called.
`
`“The mobile unit 216 can be programmed such that only certain pre-
`programmed numbers can be called. These authorized phone numbers are
`stored in remote unit 216 and can be programmed remotely by the central
`host 226 or platform 224.” ‘455 patent at 20:28-33.
`
`These programming updates are obtained through the use of calls to the
`remote unit. ‘455 patent at 12:7-14.
`
`All calls to the remote unit require presentation of a unique key based on
`the MIN/ESN.

`“Platform 224 then calls the appropriate roamer access port, and dials the
`phone number. Once the call is connected and the platform and mobile unit
`modems establish data communication, the mobile unit 216 issues a
`challenge at block 330. This challenge may be, for example, a random
`number. If no challenge is received, then the platform 224 disconnects the
`call at block 331. If the platform receives a challenge, then at block 332
`the platform returns a response based on the challenge received, a key
`particular to the mobile unit, and an encryption algorithm. As noted, the
`key used in the generation of the response is a function of the mobile unit
`and may be generated from a lookup table of numbers shared by both
`mobile unit 216 and platform 224 indexed by the MIN/ESN of mobile unit
`216. The encryption algorithm, also known by both mobile unit 216 and
`platform 224 can be any appropriate mathematical algorithm, and may be
`modified periodically, as can the lookup table, to maximize security.” ‘455
`patent at 19:30-46.
`
`“The mobile unit 216 can be programmed such that only certain pre-
`programmed numbers can be called. These authorized phone numbers are
`stored in remote unit 216 and can be programmed remotely by the central
`host 226 or platform 224.” ‘455 patent at 20:28-33.
`
`The mobile unit includes a RAM for storing data related to the operation of
`the mobile unit.
`
`“Processor 246 is also coupled to a read-only memory 260 and a random
`access memory 262. These memories are for storage of instructions and
`data for operation of processor 246.” 14:22-28.

`“Messaging unit 16 also allows for input of status information through sensor system
`64. In one embodiment geosensor system 64 comprises sensors, controllers, and
`processors used to monitor various parameters of truck trailer 12, and operates to pass
`status information to processor 44. Sensor system 64 may monitor performance
`parameters of truck trailer 12, such as the temperature of a refrigerated compartment,
`battery voltage levels, or diagnostics of other truck trailer subsystems. Sensor system
`64 may also monitor the status of truck trailer 12 and its contents, such as whether

`with. For purposes of this description, "sensor" refers to any device that furnishes
`processor 44 with location and status information, including a positioning system.”
`‘455 patent at 6:66-7:12.
`
` For example, data messages received by messaging unit 16 may be sent over a data
`channel using MIN statusing or feature request generation, or over a voice channel
`using a data encoder, such as a modem or DTMF recognizer. 10 Received data
`messages at messaging unit 16 may serve a variety of functions, such as remotely
`programming predetermined sensor reporting limits, updating messaging unit 16
`software, requesting information, or alerting the operator of the transportation system
`among others.” ‘455 patent at 12:7-14.
`
`“Mobile unit 216 allows for input of location information from a LORAN-C system, a
`global positioning satellite (GPS) system or any suitable system providing location
`information of the mobile unit. This input is shown by positioning system 272 in FIG.
`7. The positioning system 272 may be located within the housing of the mobile unit
`216, or part or all of positioning system 272 may be located outside the mobile unit
`216. The data sent to the mobile unit 216 from positioning system 272 can be either
`raw location data (for example, data directly received from LORAN-C
`system) or processed location data. Therefore, the processing of raw location data can
`occur within the positioning system 272 itself, within processor 246, or transmitted
`through phone transceiver 238 and antenna 244 for later 50 processing at the platform
`224 or central host 226 of FIG. 5.
`
`Mobile unit 216 also allows for input of status information through automatic status
`generator 274. The automatic status generator 274 comprises any sensors, controllers,
`and processors used to monitor performance parameters of the 55 vehicle 212, and
`operates to pass information from such monitors to the mobile unit 216. As will be
`discussed, status information may be received by the mobile unit 216 from either the
`automatic status generator 274 or the key pad 266. Block 276 allows for the input or

`indicate that a vehicle on which the mobile unit is located has been broken into.” ‘455
`patent at 14:36-62.
`
`“As discussed above, positioning system 272 may generate longitude and latitude
`information, or simply raw data, for example from a GPS system, to be transmitted
`from mobile unit 216. If only raw data is generated by a positioning system 272, then
`processor 246, the platform 224, or the central host 226 can generate the longitude and
`latitude information for positioning information. Likewise, automatic status generator
`274 may be used to automatically generate status information, such as engine
`performance, trailer temperature (for example, if a refrigerated trailer tractor is
`associated with the remote unit), or other status information.” ‘455 patent at 15:47-58.
`
`The mobile devices disclosed in Kennedy have a limited number of pre-programmed
`numbers that can be called.
`
`“The mobile unit 216 can be programmed such that only certain pre-programmed
`numbers can be called. These authorized phone numbers are stored in remote unit 216
`and can be programmed remotely by the central host 226 or platform 224.” ‘455 patent
