Abstract
A personal surveillance system configured to be worn by an individual includes a communication system configured to record communication files, a locating system configured to determine a location of the personal surveillance system, and a transmitter configured to send the communication files and the location of the personal surveillance system to a remote monitoring station. The locating system includes a satellite system interface configured to determine the location of the personal surveillance system and an alternate positioning system configured to determine the location of the personal surveillance system in at least one situation where the satellite system interface cannot determine the location of the personal surveillance system.
Claims25
A personal surveillance system comprising:
- a communication system configured to record communication files;
- a locating system configured to determine a location of the personal surveillance system, the locating system including:
- a satellite system interface configured to determine the location of the personal surveillance system, and
- an alternate positioning system configured to determine the location of the personal surveillance system in at least one situation where the satellite system interface cannot determine the location of the personal surveillance system;
- a transmitter configured to send the communication files and the location of the personal surveillance system to a remote monitoring station;
- and
- wherein the personal surveillance system is configured to be worn by an individual.
A surveillance and monitoring system comprising:
- a personal surveillance system configured to be worn by an individual, the personal surveillance system including:
- a communication system configured to record communication files;
- a locating system configured to determine a location of the personal surveillance system, the locating system including:
- a satellite system interface configured to determine the location of the personal surveillance system,
- an alternate positioning system configured to determine the location of the personal surveillance system in at least one situation where the satellite system interface cannot determine the location of the personal surveillance system, and
- a transmitter configured to send the communication files and the location of the personal surveillance system;
- and
- a remote monitoring station configured to receive and review the communication files and the location transmitted from the personal surveillance system.
A method of surveillance comprising:
- collecting communication files with a personal surveillance system;
- determining a location of the personal surveillance system including:
- determining the location of the personal surveillance system with a satellite system interface if the satellite system interface can determine the location of the personal surveillance system, and
- determining the location of the personal surveillance system with an alternate positioning system if the satellite system interface cannot determine the location of the personal surveillance system;
- and
- sending the communication files and the determined location from the personal surveillance system to a remote monitoring station.
