## Abstract

A system for controlling prisoners and protecting security personnel or victims of domestic violence is disclosed. The system includes a first wearable device configured to be secured about an appendage of a person, and includes a GPS receiver module, an electroshock module and wireless receiver. A second wearable device is configured to be worn about an appendage of a person, and includes a GPS receiver module, a transmitter and activation switch. If the first wearable device is within a predefined radius of a second wearable device, activation of the activation switch causes the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver to activate the electroshock module. Additionally, the system may include a server that can selectively activate the electroshock module and display the location of the wearable devices on a map or floorplan.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system, comprising:
a first wearable device configured and arranged to be secured about an appendage of a first person, the first wearable device comprising a GPS receiver module, an electroshock module and wireless receiver;
a second wearable device configured and arranged to be worn about an appendage of a second person, the second wearable comprising, a GPS receiver module, a transmitter and activation switch; and
a server in wireless communication with the first wearable device and the second wearable device;
wherein, if the first wearable device is within a predefined radius of the second wearable device, activation of the activation switch causes the transmitter to send a first signal directly to the wireless receiver to activate the electroshock module,
wherein the activation of the activation switch further causes the transmitter to send a second signal to the server;
wherein the electroshock module is configured to apply a stunning shock to the first person; and
wherein, responsive to the second signal, the server is configured to authenticate an identity of the second wearable device having the activation switch and, responsive to the authenticating, enable the electroshock module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first wearable device further comprises a tamper-proof locking mechanism.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first wearable device and second wearable device each further comprises a motion-induced charging system.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein:
the server is configured and arranged to receive a GPS location from the first and second wearable devices and indicate the locations of the first and second wearable devices on at least one of a map or a floorplan.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the server is further configured and arranged to transmit a signal to the first wearable device to activate the electroshock module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the server is configured and arranged to activate electroshock modules of a plurality of first wearable devices.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the server is configured to activate electroshock modules by group, grid location or all wearable devices being tracked.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1,
wherein the second wearable device is configured to authenticate the second person prior to the activation.

### Claim 9

A system, comprising:
a first wearable device configured and arranged to be secured about an appendage of a first person, the first wearable device comprising a GPS receiver module, an electroshock module and wireless receiver;
a second wearable device configured and arranged to be worn about an appendage of a second person, the second wearable comprising, a GPS receiver module, a transmitter and activation switch; and
a server in wireless communication with the first wearable device and the second wearable device, the server configured and arranged to receive a GPS location from the first and second wearable devices and indicate the locations of the first and second wearable device on at least one of a map or a floorplan, the server further configured to, responsive to the second signal, authenticate an identity of the second wearable device and, responsive to the authenticating, enable the electroshock module;
wherein, responsive to the enabling, the electroshock module of the first wearable device may be selectively activated by the second wearable device and the server.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein, if the first wearable device is within a predefined radius of a second wearable device, activation of the activation switch causes the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver to activate the electroshock module.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the electroshock module of the first wearable device is activated automatically upon entering a predefined radius of the second wearable device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the first wearable device further comprises a tamper-proof locking mechanism.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the first wearable device and second wearable device each further comprises a motion-induced charging system.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the second wearable device is configured to authenticate the second person prior to the activation.

### Claim 15

A system, comprising:
a first wearable device configured and arranged to be secured about an appendage of a first person, the first wearable device comprising a GPS receiver module, an electroshock module and wireless receiver;
a second wearable device configured and arranged to be worn about an appendage of a second person, the second wearable comprising, a GPS receiver module, a transmitter and activation switch; and
a server in wireless communication with the first wearable device and the second wearable device, the server configured to authenticate an identity of the second wearable device, the server further configured and arranged to receive a GPS location from the first and second wearable devices and calculate a distance between the first and second wearable devices, the server further configured and arranged to transmit a signal to the first wearable device to activate the electroshock module of the first wearable device if the first wearable device is within a predefined radius of the second wearable device.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the electroshock module of the first wearable device may be selectively activated by the second wearable device and server.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the electroshock module of the first wearable device is activated automatically upon entering a predefined radius of the second wearable device.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the first wearable device further comprises a tamper-proof locking mechanism.

### Claim 19 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the first wearable device and second wearable device each further comprises a motion-induced charging system.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)
