Abstract

A method of dual mode asset management includes a dual mode supervisor that configures one or more computing resources of a dual mode asset to directly report asset related data to a dual mode database over a network connection to the Internet while the dual mode asset is in an online mode of operation and configures a Wi-Fi interface of the dual mode asset to broadcast beacon frames comprising asset related data while the dual mode asset is in an offline mode of operation with no network connection to the Internet. The offline mode of operation relies upon Troverlo, Inc.'s passive asset or sensor tracking to indirectly report the asset related data to the dual mode database by way of location services. In an dual mode of operation, dual mode supervisor configures the dual mode asset to perform two or more of directly report, scan, and beacon simultaneously.
