Electronic distance monitoring system consisting of at least two portable trackers with individual, tamper-proof pair identification, that automatically detect approach below a defined distance threshold and trigger warning signals.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to an electronic monitoring, warning, and protection system used to prevent proximity or contact hazards. It is particularly suitable for: *State-ordered contact bans (e.g., in cases of domestic violence), *Personal protection *Child safety *Search and rescue operations *military units or special operations *Group leadership *Leisure and outdoor applications. Initial situation / Problem statement

[0002] There is a central problem with contact attempts or protective measures: The perpetrator (e.g. with an ankle monitor) is monitored - but the person at risk is not.

[0003] As a result, despite electronic ankle monitors, cases of: *attacks, *Harassment, *Reenactment, *serious acts of violence, including homicide.

[0004] There is no universal, two-sided, portable distance warning system that works without a mobile network and can simultaneously enable both approach and targeted search. The core of the invention

[0005] The invention consists of two or more electronic tags / trackers that have the following function. 1. Area monitoring

[0006] Each tracker detects when a corresponding counter-tracker is within a defined distance range. 2. Real-time warning

[0007] Approach triggers the following warnings: *Acoustically *Visually *Optional vibration alarm. This works without a smartphone, directly on the device itself. 3. ID - Assignment (pair binding)

[0008] Each tracker can only integrate with a specific counterpart – similar to the starter chip card – idea: *unique ID, *unambiguous pairing *counterfeit-proof, *Not copyable. 4. Position and direction indicator (optional)

[0009] The tracker can display or audibly signal from which direction the other person is approaching (the "hot / cold" principle). 5. Search mode

[0010] Inverse function: Not rejecting, but actively seeking out (e.g., children, hiking groups). 6. Battery safety

[0011] *long-lasting batteries, *Low battery warning, *Energy-saving stand-by mode. 7. Extended family or group ties

[0012] Multiple trackers can be assigned to one person (e.g., parents, children, grandparents). 8. Independently functioning device

[0013] Independent of: *Mobile network *Internet *Smartphone --High reliability. Example of implementation

[0014] A state-monitored offender wears an electronic ankle monitor. The person at risk wears a corresponding personal tracker. *If the perpetrator approaches within a defined radius, the ankle bracelet activates the alarm for the victim. *The tracker reports: *Alarm, *Direction, Distance decrease, *Request to seek shelter.

[0015] In outdoor operations, the system serves for position tracking, group coordination and loss prevention. Advantages of the invention *Massive reduction in attacks in cases of domestic violence. *International deployment capability (worldwide demand) *Very fast, cost-effective implementation possible. *Extremely high security, as it is not dependent on a network. *Also universally applicable for civilian areas.

[0016] Patentable / Licensable worldwide.

[11] System according to any of the preceding claims, wherein an AI-based threat analysis evaluates patterns such as approach speed, direction of movement and repetition pattern. [12] System according to one of the preceding claims comprising a panic button for endangered persons which activates immediate remote notifications to defined locations. [13] System according to one of the preceding claims with offline localization based on relative measurement (triateration, signal strength, time difference).

[16] System according to one of the preceding claims, suitable for integration into state ankle bracelet monitoring systems. [17] System according to one of the preceding claims with multi-stage warning levels which increase automatically depending on the speed of approach. [18] System according to any of the preceding claims, wherein trackers independently form networks and mutually relay signals (mesh network formation). [19] System according to one of the preceding claims, which can also be used as a group navigation system, wherein each tracker can simultaneously be a search transmitter and a found object.
