In many professions, personnel are required to be in a certain area or at a certain location, but will often have the need to take an unscheduled break. The employee or personnel will then only be able to take the unscheduled break if she or he can find a substitute to take her or his place during the break. The system described and claimed herein allows for real-time coordination of unscheduled breaks in a work setting. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An unscheduled break coordination system, which is comprised of: a. one or more remote servers; b. a plurality of mobile electronic communication devices; wherein the plurality of mobile electronic communication devices provides a display; c. a web-based software; wherein the web-based software is provided on the plurality of mobile electronic communication devices; wherein the web-based software is wirelessly connected to the one or more remote servers with the plurality of mobile electronic communication devices; wherein the web-based software provides at least one user profile for each user; wherein each user profile provides a user status; wherein each user's status is further comprised of a location status and break status; wherein each user can modify the break status; wherein the user can modify the location status; wherein a request for a break can be sent from one user within the plurality of users to at least one other user within the plurality of users; wherein a user may accept another user's request for a break; wherein the web-based application software notifies other users of the system when a status is changed; wherein the web-based software notifies other users of the system when a request break button is engaged; wherein each profile displays the status of at least one other user of the system; d. a network; wherein the network provides communication between the users. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 1 wherein the break status indicates whether a break has been provided to the user, whether the user is on a break, or whether the user is in need of a break. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 1 wherein the plurality of users can be notified in real time of a break status modification. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 1 wherein the plurality of users can be notified in real time of a location status modification. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 1 wherein the web-based software provides for notetaking. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 1 wherein the web-based software provides for messaging between users. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 6 wherein the web-based software provides for messaging notes between users. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 1 wherein the web-based software provides a system administrator that operates as a lead coordinator for the one or more users. ### Claim 9 An unscheduled break coordination system, which is comprised of: a. one or more remote servers; b. a plurality of mobile electronic communication devices; wherein the plurality of mobile electronic communication devices provide a display; c. a plurality of sensors; wherein the plurality of sensors is placed within a facility; wherein the plurality of sensors is connected to the server wirelessly; wherein the plurality of sensors detects the plurality of electronic communication devices; d. a web-based software; wherein the web-based software is provided on the plurality of mobile electronic communication devices; wherein the web-based software is wirelessly connected to the one or more remote servers with the plurality of mobile electronic communication devices; wherein the web-based software provides at least one user profile for each user; wherein each user profile provides a user status; wherein each user's status is further comprised of a location status and break status; wherein each user can modify the break status; wherein the user can modify the location status; wherein a request for a break can be sent from one user within the plurality of users to at least one other user within the plurality of users; wherein a user may accept another user's request for a break; wherein the web-based application software notifies other users of the system when a status is changed; wherein the web-based software notifies other users of the system when a request break button is engaged; wherein each profile displays the status of at least one other user of the system; e. a network; wherein the network provides communication between the users. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 9 wherein the break status indicates whether a break has been provided to the user, whether the user is on a break, or whether the user is in need of a break. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 9 wherein the plurality of users can be notified in real time of a break status modification. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 9 wherein the plurality of users can be notified in real time of a location status modification. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 9 wherein the web-based software provides for notetaking. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 9 wherein the web-based software provides for messaging between users. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 14 wherein the web-based software provides for messaging notes between users. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The unscheduled break coordination system as described in claim 9 wherein the web-based software provides a system administrator that operates as a lead coordinator for the one or more users.
