Distributed security system using position tracking

A method, comprising:

• determining at least one of a position, a velocity, an acceleration, and an orientation of a first device that is part of a group of devices including a second device;
• determining a distance between the first device and a next closest device in the group of devices,
• determining if the at least one of the position, the velocity, the acceleration, and the orientation of the first device causes a violation of a threshold condition that includes the distance between the first device and the next closest device exceeding a threshold distance;
• in response to the at least one of the position, the velocity, the acceleration, and the orientation of the first device causing the violation of the threshold condition, transmitting a notification signal;
• receiving the notification signal at the second device;
• and
• generating an alert signal in response to receiving the notification signal.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing program code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• determine at least one of a position, a velocity, an acceleration, and an orientation of a first device that is part of a group of devices including a second device;
• determine a distance between the first device and a next closest device in the group of devices;
• determine if the at least one of the position, the velocity, the acceleration, and the orientation of the first device causes a violation of a threshold condition that includes the distance between the first device and the next closest device exceeding a threshold distance;
• in response to the at least one of the position, the velocity, the acceleration, and the orientation of the first device causing the violation of the threshold condition, transmit a notification signal;
• receive the notification signal at the second device;
• and
• generate an alert signal in response to receiving the notification signal.
