Abstract
Various embodiments provide systems and methods for determining the veracity of location data gathered about a monitored individual.
Claims20
A method for identifying questionable tracking data, the method comprising:
- receiving a first location data from a user detached monitor device, wherein the first location data includes a first location of the user detached monitor device obtained at a first time, and wherein the user detached monitor device is configured to connect to a user attached monitor device;
- receiving a second location data from a third-party location service, wherein the second location data includes a second location of a non-associated device to which the user attached monitor device connected, wherein the second location was obtained at a second time;
- determining, by a processing resource, that a difference between the first time and the second time is within a defined period of time;
- determining, by the processing resource, that a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than an expected distance;
- and
- indicating, by the processing resource, a questionable location from the user detached monitor device based on the distance between the first location and the second location being greater than the expected distance.

A monitoring system, the system comprising:
- a user attached monitor device including:
- a strap configured for attachment to a monitored individual;
- a wireless transceiver configured to connect to a first wireless device within a first defined range and a second wireless device within a second defined range;
- and
- a status indicator configured to detect a status of the user attached monitor device;
- the first wireless device assigned to the monitored individual and including:
- a first location subsystem configured to obtain a first location of the first wireless device;
- a clock configured to time stamp the first location with a first time corresponding to obtaining the first location;
- a central monitoring station configured to:
- receive the first time and the first location directly from the first wireless device;
- receive a second location of the second wireless device and a time stamp for the second location from a third party location service with which the second wireless device is associated;
- determine that a difference between the first time and the second time is within a defined period of time;
- determine that a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than an expected distance;
- and
- indicate a questionable location from the first wireless device based on the distance between the first location and the second location being greater than the expected distance.

A user attached monitor device, the user attached monitor device comprising:
- a strap configured for attachment to a monitored individual;
- a wireless transceiver configured to connect to a first wireless device within a first defined range and a second wireless device within a second defined range, wherein the first defined range is less than the second defined range;
- and
- a status indicator configured to detect a status of the user attached monitor device, wherein the status of the user attached monitor device is selected from a group consisting of:
- occurrence of a timeout condition;
- detection of tampering with the user attached monitor device, and a change in proximity between the user attached monitor device and the monitored individual;
- and
- wherein a power of the wireless transceiver is increased to connect out to the second defined range based at least in part on the status of the user attached monitor device.
