The method includes: locking the personal monitoring device to a limb of a monitored person; collecting historical information about the personal monitoring device including movement data of the personal monitoring device and battery charging history of the personal monitoring device; analyzing the collected historical information for patterns of battery charging behavior; receiving a current location of the personal monitoring device; determining whether to send a battery charge reminder to the monitored person, based on at least a current location of the personal monitoring device, a current batter charge, and the patterns of battery charging behavior; and providing, in response to a positive outcome of the determining, a notification to the monitored person to charge the battery. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for monitoring and maintaining battery charge of a personal monitoring device, comprising: locking the personal monitoring device to a limb of a monitored person, wherein the locking requires that the monitored person remain tethered to a power source for a period of time to charge a battery of the personal monitoring device; collecting historical information about the personal monitoring device including movement data of the personal monitoring device and battery charging history of the personal monitoring device; analyzing the collected historical information for historical patterns of battery charging behavior; receiving a current location of the personal monitoring device; determining whether to send a battery charge reminder to the monitored person, based on at least a current location of the personal monitoring device, a current battery charge, and the historical patterns of battery charging behavior; and providing, in response to a positive outcome of the determining, a notification to the monitored person to charge the battery; wherein the determining is further based on receipt of information indicating that the current location of the personal monitoring device is in an area subject to a current utility power outage. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: collecting personal information about the monitored person; and the determining is based on the collected personal information about the monitored person. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: collecting personal information about a monitored population; and the determining is based on the collected personal information about the monitored population. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the determining considers characteristics of the monitored person relative to common characteristics or prior behavior of the monitored population, including how those common characteristics or prior behavior affect probabilities of potential battery violations. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the characteristics includes any of race, age, gender, weight, height, home address, work address, prior criminal history, prior status as a parolee, prior violations, prior behavior and/or effect of prior reminders. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining comprises: determining that the personal monitoring device is at a first location with a history of successfully battery charging; predicting that the personal monitoring device will leave the first location with a history of successful battery charging and enter a second location that lacks a history of successful battery charging; and predicting that, absent additional charge at the first location, the battery charge will drop below a threshold level when the personal monitoring device is at the second location that lacks a history of successful battery charging. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining comprises: determining that the personal monitoring device is at a location during a time frame with a history of successfully battery charging; awaiting, for a portion of the time frame, receipt a signal representing that the battery of the personal monitoring device has commenced charging; the providing being in response to elapse of the portion of the time frame without receipt of the signal. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: bypassing the providing in response to receipt of the signal during the portion of the time frame. ### Claim 9 A system for monitoring and maintaining battery charge of a personal monitoring device, the system comprising: the personal monitoring device including a lockable band to lock the personal monitoring device to a limb of a monitored person, wherein when locked the monitored person must remain tethered to a power source for a period of time to charge a battery of the personal monitoring device; electronic computer hardware in combination with software programmed to perform operations comprising: collecting historical information about the personal monitoring device including movement data of the personal monitoring device and battery charging history of the personal monitoring device; analyzing the collected historical information for historical patterns of battery charging behavior; receiving a current location of the personal monitoring device; determining whether to send a battery charge reminder to the monitored person, based on at least a current location of the personal monitoring device, a current battery charge, and the historical patterns of battery charging behavior; and providing, in response to a positive outcome of the determining, a notification to the monitored person to charge the battery; wherein the determining is further based on receipt of information indicating that the current location of the personal monitoring device is in an area subject to a current utility power outage. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, the operations further comprising: collecting personal information about the monitored person; and the determining is based on the collected personal information about the monitored person. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: collecting personal information about a monitored population; and the determining is based on the collected personal information about the monitored population. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the determining considers characteristics of the monitored person relative to common characteristics of the monitored population, or prior behavior including how those common characteristics affect probabilities of potential battery violations. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the characteristics includes any of race, age, gender, weight, height, home address, work address, prior criminal history, prior status as a parolee, prior violations, or prior behavior and/or effect of prior reminders. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the determining comprises: determining that the personal monitoring device is at a location with a history of successfully battery charging; predicting that the personal monitoring device will leave the first location with a history of successful battery charging and enter a second location that lacks a history of successful battery charging; and predicting that, absent additional charge at the first location, the battery charge will drop below a threshold level when the personal monitoring device is at the second location that lacks a history of successful battery charging. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the determining comprises: determining that the personal monitoring device is at a location during a time frame with a history of successfully battery charging; awaiting, for a portion of the time frame, receipt a signal representing that the battery of the personal monitoring device has commenced charging; the providing being in response to elapse of the portion of the time frame without receipt of the signal. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, the operations further comprising: bypassing the providing in response to receipt of the signal during the portion of the time frame.
