An automatic time tracking and validating method of a portable digital device, including: maintaining by the portable digital device a current clock time and current uptime; and recording by the portable digital device a plurality of times a first entry that has: user information; the current clock time; the current uptime. A reference time recording process is performed once or more, including: recording by the portable digital device together with a server, which server has a reference time, a second entry that has: the reference time; the current clock time; and the current uptime. The portable digital device provides the server with the first and second entries.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for determining a time-length of an action are provided. For example, a first data packet, of a plurality of data packets, may be received from a beacon. The first data packet may be associated with a first event and may comprise a first counter value. A second data packet, of the plurality of data packets, may be received from the beacon. The second data packet may be associated with a second event and may comprise a second counter value. A time-length of an action may be determined based upon an evaluation of the first counter value and the second counter value. Compliance with a protocol may be determined by comparing the time-length of the action with a time-limit associated with the protocol. A report may be generated based upon the time-length of the action and the compliance with the protocol.

A method for collecting activity-data of a user executing a task including at least one activity includes tracking a user-device to determine a location-data of the user-device associated with the user; retrieving, at a server-arrangement from a database-server, a client-data; determining a change in the location-data of the user-device; and generating the activity-data, based on the change in the location-data, by one of correlating the location-data with the client-data by employing machine learning techniques, or processing a prompt-response generated by a manual-input at the user-device, wherein the prompt-response is generated based on a prompt provided by the server-arrangement to the user-device when the machine learning techniques fail to correlate the location data with the client-data.

A communication element, comprising a communication element transceiver, a sensor (configured to detect jerking motion), and an electronic storage device, the communication element configured to: [A] repeat a sequence comprising a broadcast mode in which is sends broadcast signals followed by a sleep mode in which it does not send any broadcast signal, [B] discontinue the sequence and enter a communication mode (in which stored information regarding an asset, e.g., a heavy-duty attachment, is transmitted to a controller, e.g., in a heavy-duty vehicle, upon request) upon receiving (during the broadcast mode or within a set time span after detecting a jerking motion). Also, communication systems comprising one or more such communication elements and one or more controllers, and methods of broadcasting and, upon specific conditions being met, communicating. Also, an element for cumulatively tracking time that an element has been in use.
