Wrist Unit with GPS and Electrical Stimuli for Parolee Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current parole systems lack effective means for tracking, communicating with, and controlling parolees, which limits their expansion and effectiveness in reducing recidivism and ensuring compliance with parole conditions.
Innovation Solution
A communication and control system comprising a wrist unit with a GPS tracking device, visual and auditory links, and a corporal control subsystem, allowing remote monitoring and intervention, including visual alerts, two-way communication, and controlled electrical stimuli, to manage parolee behavior and location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional parole supervision methods are used, then parolees can be released into society, but effective tracking and control of parolees is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The wrist unit serves multiple functions simultaneously: GPS tracking for location monitoring, visual alert component for receiving instructions, auditory link for two-way communication, and corporal control for behavioral correction. This multi-functional device comprehensively addresses the information loss problem by integrating tracking, communication, and control capabilities into a single universal platform.
2Reliability
If more restrictions and tracking systems are implemented for parolees, then recidivism may be reduced, but the complexity of the parole system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines GPS tracking, visual alerts, auditory communication, and corporal control functions into a single integrated wrist unit. This merging of previously separate systems into one unified device reduces overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities, thereby improving parolee compliance without proportionally increasing system complexity.
3Speed
If real-time monitoring and control capabilities are added to parole systems, then response time to parolee behavior issues improves, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wrist unit is pre-equipped with all necessary communication and control components (visual alert, auditory link, corporal control) before parolee release. This preliminary preparation enables immediate real-time monitoring and control actions without requiring additional complex infrastructure setup, thereby achieving fast response times while keeping the device design manageable.

AI summary
A communication and control system and method for a parolee includes a communication device including a visual alert component capable of providing one-way communication to the parolee, an auditory link capable of providing two-way verbal communication to and from the parolee, and a visual link capable of providing two-way visual communication to and from the parolee, and a GPS tracking device configured to indicate the location of the parolee. The communication device and the GPS tracking device are configured to be controlled remotely.
