`
`BACKGROUND
`
`1.
`

`
`[0002]
`
`This disclosure relates generally to communicating with a tracking device, and
`
`more specifically, to communicating with a tracking device via a connected device.

`
`DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
`
`[0003]
`
`Electronic tracking devices have created numerous ways for people to track the
`
`locations of people and/or objects. For example, a user can use GPS technology to
`
`communicate with a device remotely or determine a location of the user. In another example,
`
`a user can attach a tracking device to an important object, such as keys or a wallet, and use
`
`the features of the tracking device to more quickly communicate with the object, (e.g., if it
`
`becomes lost).
`
`[0004]
`
`However, traditional tracking devices and corresponding systems suffer from one
`
`or more disadvantages. For example, communicating with a tracking device from a far-away
`
`distance requires a considerable amount of power. Thus, battery life of a tracking device is
`
`often limited. Further, technology for long-range communication is expensive, and often
