Benefits of technology

[0013]It is yet a further object of the invention to provide an easily adjustable and tamper resistant wearable tracking device.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, the component costs of custom devices is unnecessarily high compared to the prices available for mass market cellular telephone and GPS technology.
Many systems require dedicated phone lines, require the monitored individual to wear or carry obtrusive hardware, require additional hardware for monitoring personnel, lack adequate battery life for multi-day usage, are subject to drift due to GPS signal errors, and lack a method for confirming receipt of messages sent between monitoring personnel and a monitored individual.

Embodiment Construction

[0038]Turning then to FIG. 1, a schematic overview of the communication path utilized in the present invention is illustrated. Control of the invention is preferably maintained at one or more administrative hubs 10 running application server 11 functionality and portal server 12 functionality. The portal server 12 will communicate through gateways 13, generally routers or a location aggregator, with the Internet 14 or some combination of public networks 15, possibly including the Internet, and telephone networks. Communications are then directed to and / or from a wide variety of devices with respect to the administrative hub 10. For instance, an RFID reader 20 may detect and report the presence of an RFID tag. The administrative hub 10 may generate a message to a controllable device user at facility 19 and receive a confirming acknowledgement. A user of the invention may obtain information via personal computer 21, laptop computer 22, cell phone 23, Blackberry 24, Palm Pilot 25 or ot...

Abstract

A tamper resistant and easily adjustable mobile tracking device (26, 100) is provided, or alternatively may be created by adding appropriate programming to a GPS enabled cellular communications device (23, 132), by which location data and other information is transmitted to an administrative hub (10) for processing and distribution according to operator defined parameters. Confirmed two-way communications are possible with the mobile devices havin display screens.

Description

[0001]The present application claims priority to the Apr. 6, 2005 filing date of U.S. provisional patent application, Ser. No. 60 / 670,082 and the May 6, 2005 filing date of U.S. provisional patent application, Ser. No. 60 / 678,823.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002]The system and method of the present invention is utilized in tracking the position of an individual using GPS signals and cell phone location technologies for both real time and later comparison with parameters and providing bidirectional communication capability with the tracking device associated with the individual.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003]Many devices and systems are known to monitor the position and movements of individuals. Employers use devices to monitor employees against diversion from work-related locations, and such devices may be installed in work vehicles, attached to accessories such as computers, or comprise other GPS enabled devices. In addition, in the case of house arrest, the offender must often carr...
