A system and method employing a combination of long-range and short-range asset location systems, preferable a GPS-based system combined with an RFID- based system. The short-range system regularly activates itself, or is remotely polled, to determine if the asset is within range of the short-range transceivers, and the long-range system is activated to determine the location of the asset when it is outside the range of the short-range transceivers. In at least some embodiments, the asset is an automobile equipped with both RFID and GPS-based transceivers.

L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé utilisant une combinaison de systèmes de localisation de biens à longue et courte portée, soit un système à base de GPS et un système à base de RFID. Normalement le système à courte portée s'auto-active à intervalles réguliers, ou s'interroge à distance pour déterminer si le bien se trouve à porté des émetteurs/récepteurs à courte portée, tandis que le système à longue portée est activé pour déterminer l'emplacement du bien, s'il se trouve hors de la portée du système à courte portée. Dans certaines des exécutions au moins, le bien est une automobile équipée à la fois d'émetteurs/récepteurs des types GPS et RFID.
